Chapter 23
"I'MMA STRANGLE YOU ZEB!" Ezra yelled as he chased the Lasat down the halls of the Ghost.
"That'll teach you not to pour water on me when I'm sleeping!" Zeb yelled back. Ezra huffed in anger as he waved a screwdriver threateningly. "I didn't pour water on you for the last time!" He shouted.
"Liar! Who else would?!" Zeb threw back, smugly that he was able to shut the kid up. But he stopped as he realized something.
He turned around and Ezra gave him a deadpanned look. "I just realized." Zeb muttered, embarrassed.
"Yeah, and can you guess correctly?" Ezra hissed. Zeb rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Chopper?"
"You can guess right."

Kanan was sitting on top of the ship when he felt the vibrations of a BOOM!
"What the?!" He yelled. He jumped down using the force and ran inside. He just knew it was the three boys. Well, Chopper is a droid but he's still a boy.
Smoke erupted in the common area and Ezra was flat on his back stunned and coughing smoke. "Ezra! Are you alright?" Kanan asked his son.
"As soon as I get my hands on them!" Ezra shouted, shaking a fist at no one in general and coughing. Kanan raised an eyebrow, concerned.
"Uh Ezra?" Kanan asked. Ezra whipped his head to face and barked, "What?" Kanan sighed, Ezra was going to be a handful.
"I think you should go was up." Kanan said. At the soft and kind look Kanan had, Ezra listened. "Good thing we share a cabin. I can get to Zeb easily." Ezra chuckled mischievously.
Kanan groaned. He was a rebel, a Jedi. Not a tired father/brother to three boys who loved causing mischief! And one of those boys was a droid!
"I don't get enough rest."
* * * *
Kanan was sleeping when he sensed a distress in the force. He bolted up. It was Ezra.
Kanan got up slowly. He sensed Ezra outside and was frightened. Kanan saw the ramp opened and saw Ezra sitting on it looking at the stars.
"Hey." He greeted softly. "Hey." Ezra replied. Kanan sat down next to him. "Nightmare?" He asked, knowing. Ezra didn't reply but Kanan knew.
"I used to try and watch the stars when I lived at the Jedi Temple." Kanan said, feeling old emotions swell up. Ezra widened his eyes at that. Kanan never talked about his past.
"I couldn't see any because there were so many lights from the buildings. But I would look at the city and just think about my life. What I would be and who. Before the Order all I knew was that I was going to a Jedi till I died. No connections, no wife, no child. Just a Jedi." Kanna said sadly.
Ezra looked sad and scooted closer to Kanan for comfort. He leaned against his side and felt an arm wrap around him instinctively and another hand ran their fingers through his hair.
"But I was happy. Because my fellow Jedi were with me and I had my Master. I still wish for that life." Kanan admitted. Ezra felt a pang of hurt and sadness hit him.
Kanan sensed it and smiled small. "But thinking of my life now, with craziness and the Empire chasing us, I wouldn't change it. Because I wouldn't have met Hera, Zeb, Sabine, or Chopper. Or you. And that's something I don't want. I need you Ezra, I need my padawan that's always fearless, brave, courageous, honest, caring, kind, and strong." Kanan said with love and honesty.
"I need you. Because your my son. And a father never wants their son gone. No matter what."
Ezra buried his face into Kanan's shoulder and hugged him. "I need you too. Because your my Dad. And a son never wants their father gone. No matter what." Ezra said with love and honesty.
Kanan hugged him tight and kissed his forehead. "I love you, Ezra."
Ezra hugged him just as tight. "I love you too, Dad."
* * * *
So maybe this wasn't the life Kanan expected. A life of pain, on the run, headaches and tiredness.
But as long as he had the people he held dear and loved, it was the life he wanted.
Because he knew he would never be alone.
