True Love Between Mortal Enemies

Phortia Flowers And Redemption

"Are you sure you're ok?" Zeb asked as the Ghost entered Hyperspace.

"Yes, I'm sure!" I stated while he carefully recasting my broken arm.

"You two are obviously perfect for each other!" Tara said, chuckling.

"Thanks Tara!" Zeb stated, smiling.

"How could you mate with an Imperial agent who helped destroy our species?" Trea asked.

"He's different now!" Zeb stated, standing up in a defense posture.

"I never should have come back, I told you Zeb!" I stated, getting up from the table, walking past Trea and up to our room.

"Kawus, are you ok?" Cari asked as I walked past her.

"Alex!" Zeb called after me. I ignored him and locked myself in the room.

"Alex, honey!" Zeb stated, walking into the room and locking the door behind him.

"Sorry Zeb, but I can't stand people only seeing me as what I did in the past!" I whispered, crying while hugging myself and facing the wall, laying in the bunk.

"I know H'eradi, but I still love you for who you are, and Tara and Cari like you!" He said, sitting on the bed and resting a hand on my waist.

"That's not true! Cari's a kid and Tara only tolerates me because I'm your mate!" I stated.

"Oh Alex!" He said, laying down and nuzzling into my back.

"I brought you some Dinner!" Zeb said, walking into the room.

"Not hungry!" I lied, not wanting to move from my spot since entering the room earlier.

"That's not true Alex! I know you better than that!" He said, sitting on the bed beside my waist.

"Uncle Zeb!" Cari said, coming into the room.

"Now's not a good time Cari!" Zeb told her.

"Why not? Is Uncle Awex ok?" She asked, placing her clawed hands on the edge of the bed.

"No he's not! Mommy Trea is upset because of something he did years ago, and with everyone else who works with us in the Rebellion said so before we found you, he's upset about staying with us!" Zeb said, placing the dishes on the stand behind him.

"I don't think he's bad! He also makes you happy, shouldn't you both making each other happy be the important thing?" Cari said.

"He's ok with that part Cari, it's with everyone else thinking badly of him and possibly wanting to hurt him that's the problem!" Zeb stated.

"You cannot be serious Alex!" Zeb stated about me going off on my own on a strange planet we crashed on after being attacked.

"I am completely serious Zeb! You heard Hera about scoping this planet while she fixes the Ghost, plus with Trea wanting you to stick with her and Tara instead of going with me, the forever war criminal, who am I to deny her that!" I stated, walking away.

"But...!" Zeb started.

"It's ok Zeb, I got his back!" Rex told him before running to catch up with me.

"You didn't have to come with me Rex! I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself!" I told the clone after a few hours of searching.
