The Rising

traitor

Rex could feel just how cold the temperature had dropped. He glanced over to his brothers who where trying their best to hide their cold but where failing miserably.

He felt the cold hand of his wife gently tug at his arm drawing him back to the panel they where working on.

He looked back at her before he spoke "You need to go with the kids".

"N-no I-i c-can h-help" she stuttered through chattering teeth.

Rex smiled slightly before pulling off his winter coat and wrapping it around her own winter coat, "you are half togrutan, your body isn't going to stand this cold for much longer, and you are carrying our fourth and fifth children......" He whispered trying to get her to stay still long enough to zip up the jacket.

Ahsoka finally gave up before being cocooned into the second jacket with a glare on her face. Rex chuckled slightly before he cuddled Ahsoka close, he could feel her body shivering under all the layers before they both felt a blanket wrap around Ahsoka.

Rex's head snapped up ready to defend her when he spotted a slightly shivering Fives and echo with blankets in their arms. Rex smiled at his brothers kindness, "sorry general, but we can't have you freezing on us....and General Shaak Ti asked us to track you down and uh...." Echo trailed off before Fives finished it for him.

"And I quote 'drag my daughter and future grandchildren in from the cold'"

Rex could not help the small chuckle that slipped out at Ahsoka glared at his brothers then at him.

"Come on Soka, it would be a lot safer for you and our family if you where in the generals nice warm comfy ship" Rex spoke gently to her as he hugged her shivering form close.

Ahsoka nuzzled against his heavy sweater before purring slightly making Rex smile happily.

"Sir ....that's....cute and all but I think both generals would kill us if we down get her to safety" Echo said kind of nervously wary of both the pregnant togrutan and her mate.

Rex nodded towards him before he kissed Ahsoka deeply causing the 501st to wolf whistle at him. He ignored them for a moment longer before he felt echo tug at his shoulder, Rex glared at his brother who automatically flinched and backed away with his hands held in surrender.

Ahsoka shook her head at him before he pulled her into a tight hug trying to warm her up just a little more before she had to make her way to her mother's ship. "Fix the engines Rex, then we can hunt down the sheb who messed with them" Ahsoka whispered so he was the only one who could hear her voice.

Rex smiled at her before kissing her forehead and gently placing his hand on her stomach, or where her stomach would be under all the layers of coats.

Ahsoka smiled back at him before she gently moved out of his reach. Rex looked a little lost for a moment as he watched her walk away with Echo and Fives as her guards, he only snapped out of it when he felt a sharp slap to the backside of his head knock him out of his thoughts.

Rex snapped his head back to glare at Wolfe who rolled his eyes at his brothers behavior. "Oh snap out of it....." Wolfe growled at him through chattering teeth.

"Your just jealous" Rex goaded as he returned to the computer console that he was working on.

Wolfe rolled his eyes before  he returned to a set of pipes he was working on when one of Wolfe's men shouted "anyone seen the droid!!".

"Which one?" Wolfe asked slightly curious.

"Goldie" shouted back the soldier.

Wolfe face palmed as Rex smiled at the name Ahsoka had affectionately given the slightly clumsy black and gold astrometric.

"Hopefully launched itself out of an air lock" Wolfe muttered before turning to Rex "that stupid droid almost dropped a fighter on me in the hanger the other day, and the time before that it was a air purifier it trashed by accident, and there are at least half a dozen more instances that I can think of where that lump of scrap messed up and almost got my men killed....."

Rex froze at his terminal his mind slowly piecing together the information.

"How long has that Droid been on the ship?"

"Oh I don't know year maybe two... actually it's almost two years now" Wolfe answered "and ever since then I've been plagued with the monsters screwups".

"It has full access to the ship? No restrictions?" Rex asked his voice becoming more strict as realization slowly dawned on Wolfe.

"None"

"Where is it now!!!" Rex half yelled drawing the attention of everyone around him.

Wolfe looked so pale it made Rex that much more worried.

"Wolfe!!!"

"It's on maintenance duty......in the hanger" Wolfe muttered his tone betraying his fear as Rex darted out of the engendering bay and sprinted as fast as he could to the hanger.

Praying he was not to late.
