The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 12

Armitage decided to go down to the Revenant with me. In the lift, he looked at me and asked, "Is everything alright, Jetta?"

"I'm not sure, Armitage. But something has happened, and I don't know if it's good or not."

"What happened?"

"I-I can't tell you yet," I said quickly. "I'm not ready."

"All in your own time, Jetta," he said as the lift doors opened. We walked to the Revenant, where Rosemary was waiting for me.

"Dad! Mom and the pasty dude are here!" She yelled. Armitage looked at me.

"'Pasty dude'?" Armitage repeated. "And what does she mean by mom? Did you have a child with your co-pilot?"

"No, Armitage. We found her and took her in. She's only just begun to call us Mom and Dad," I said. He looked confused but shrugged.

"I believe you, Jetta," he said. "But am I pasty?"

"Well, yes, you are," I said slowly. "But nothing is wrong with that. I'm deathly pale under this helmet."

"Oh, yeah, I guess so. But where is this man we want?" He asked.

"Let me bring him out. You might want to find some stormtroopers. This isn't a small weakling," I said, walking into the cargo hold. I grabbed the large block of the carbon frozen man and dragged him out into tye hangar. Several stormtroopers had gathered around and had their blasters out. I gave his lightsaber to Armitage.

"He was only armed with this," I said. "He's a Jedi."

Armitage took the saber and examined it.

"Yes, indeed," he said, attaching the saber to bis belt. "Take him to the Supreme Leader and inform Kylo Ren his package has arrived. Jetta and I will be there shortly."

A few of the troopers carried the Jedi away; Armitage and I were left alone, that is, until Rosemary skipped back out into the hangar. She stopped and looked up at Armitage.

"Mr. Hux, sir," she said, losing her smile.

He crouched down and looked in her eyes.

"Uh, hello, little one," he said awkwardly. She looked at him, her eyes widening. She then looked at me.

"It's okay, Rosemary," I said reassuringly. "He will not harm you."

"Your name is Rosemary?" He asked her. She nodded shyly.

"Jetta, why is he here?" She asked.

"He's the General of the First Order," I said.

"And she is my wife. Am I not allowed to visit her?" Armitage asked. Rosemary's eyes widened even more and her jaw dropped.

"You could have married Zors or Poe Dameron but you marry this pasty ginger crab?" She said in a shocked voice.

"I am not a crab!" Armitage states indignantly. "You might want to teach this child proper respect for First Order Generals." He stood up again and looked at me.

I looked down at Rosemary and shook my head. She drooped her head and said no more.

"Go back on the ship with Zors. Tell him to stay on board," I ordered her,

"Yes, mom," she said softly.

"And close the ramp," I said when she got on board.

"But Mom-"

"Listen to me, Rosemary," I said sharply. She nodded and closed the ramp.

"What was that all about?" Armitage asked as we reentered the lift.
