Ok, I'm so obsessed with Rebels, thinking of starting a book. Get rid of those thoughts S! Yeah I'm a mess. Quick thing pls read-

This is a normal person AU! Ezra is 12, Kanan is 32, Hera is 30, Sabine is 15 and Zeb is 17.

Kanan's pov

That shopping trip wasn't that useless.

"So, what else do we need?" I ask my new wife.

"Sabine wants a few new paint brushes." She answers and I nod.

"Well, can you get them? I need to verify something." I ask her and she stares at me.

"What is it?" She asks sternly, well she was a military general so that was expected.

"A surprise." I grin and walk away.

"Fine Jarrus..." I hear her mumble and I smile.

After a while I get to the parking lot and hop into the car, yes I finally managed to snag the keys. Asking me why I don't have a car? Hera will kill me if we use anything other than her camper or car.

"Ok, let's see if I remember the address." I mutter to myself and drive to a orphanage.

I walk to the reception and see a lady in a pale-blue blouse and a matching skirt. (I've no clue how orphanages work so I'm making it up as I go.)

"Hello, my name is Kanan Jarrus and I had asked for a sign up for the adoption of Ezra Bridger." I tell her and she smiles.

"Oh yes, my name is Ms. Preeti Darl. I believe we talked on the phone once? I shall take you to the meeting room and I'll call him." She says.

"We did talk on the phone and thank you." I reply and follow her to a small room with a large couch and a few chairs.

"Wait here please." 

I sit on the couch and wait to see Ezra again.

"Sir?" I hear his voice as he shyly walks into the room.

"Hey Ezra, how are you?" I ask him and pull him beside me.

"Fine, I'm not getting anymore night terrors at least." He answers and I hug him.

"Well, that's a good thing isn't it?" I tell him and he nods, "Well, I have a surprise for you."

"Which is?'

"I finally was able to sort it out and" I pause for a second, "I'm adopting you!"

"Really?" He asks in excitement and I nod. He replies to my nod my giving me a tight hug, I hug him back with all my might.

"I can't wait to live with you." He exclaims after we break apart.

"Not just me, my wife or well your future mom and you'll be having a sister and a brother." I inform him and he stares at me with wide eyes.

"If you already have a son and a daughter why do you want me?" He asks and looks down.

"Because you're the best and I know that you will be a awesome addition." I explain to him the best I could.

"Thank you, all I wanted was a family that cared about me but I have a question." He tells me and I look at him.

"Well kid, what is it?" I ask him and he looks down.

"Why doesn't my future mom ever come to see me?" He asks and I slightly panic.

"I wanted you to be a surprise, she wanted to have another kid so I thought I'd surprise her with one." I answer on spot, technically it was the truth.

"Ok, but doesn't she need to sign as well not just you." He reminds me and I look down.

"I got her to sign it without her knowing." I cover up, I had actually gotten it done without Hera knowing.

"Ok? Fine thanks, when I can i go with you?" He asks me and I grin.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll come to pick you up. Your future sister already knows you're coming." I tell him and he smiles brighter than I've ever seen him smile before.

"I can't wait!" He exclaims and I leave. I hop into the car and drive back to the mall.

"Hera!" I shout and she sees me in the car.

"Kanan." She greets with a smile and I help her load the bags into the car. She takes the wheel, clearly angry that I had sat in the driver's seat and we head home.

"So? Surprise ready?" She asks me and I grin.

"I'm picking it up tomorrow." I say, careful not to leave any hints on what it is.

"Ok, who knows?" She asks and my grin turns into a frown.

"No one but me." I lie through my teeth, I don't think she'll see through it but she has her ways.

"Ok, I'll talk to Sabine." She smirks and I feel my jaw drop. Kriff, cover gone.

"H- how did you?" I try to frame a question.

"If you say 'no one but me' it generally means Sabine, you say 'only me' it's Zeb." She says and I stare at you.

"Too many secrets?" I ask her and she smiles.

"Yup."

Ezra's pov

He's adopting me! I gotta tell Jai! I whip out the phone Kanan had given me on his previous visit and hit Jai's name on the contacts list.

"Bridger? That you?" I hear his voice through the small device and sigh.

"Yeah, it's me Kells. I have something awesome to tell you!" I exclaim and I hear him chuckle through the speaker.

"Well? What is it? You are never this happy." He states and I rack my head on how to say this.

"Remember I told you about that man who kept coming to see me."

"Yeah?..."

"He's finally adopting me!" I yell and I hear whooping from the opposite side.

"That's awesome man! You can finally get outta that literal junkyard of a building!" He exclaims and I hear his mom yelling at him from the background.

"Mom call?" I ask him knowingly.

"You said this guy's married right? You'll be dealing with it too soon." He says and I smile to myself, "Well, I better go before she comes in here and takes my phone away. Bye E."

"Bye Jai." I say and cut the call.

"A mom..." I try to imagine how she will be.

I sit on my bed and start thinking of ways to make sure they like me. Don't be a fool, again. Try to control my panic attacks and I can't really do anything about my night terrors. Kanan knows all about my depression, night terrors and panic attacks, so why did he pick me? I wonder about it for a while until I hear Ms. Preeti, don't ask me why she asks us to call her that instead of Ms. Darl, calling us for dinner.

Ok, so this is just part 1. Don't worry, I'm gonna post a part 2 as well. I will be giving a recap at the start of part 2 so those of you who cannot remember this after reading 5 different fanfics a day don't need to re-read this part.

"If you believe you are lonely, you're just pushing people who can help you away."-S. I find this strangely true in my case... anyways bye my S', nothing is stopping me from calling you that! *insert maniacal laughter*
