The Death Star has been destroyed. While the Coalition celebrates, Ezra and Jaral return to Lothal, to spend some time with their family and introduce Luke to the ways of the Jedi. But the Empire is far from broken, as Grand Admiral Tanis and his fl...
"Come on, open up the throttle!" Jaral said urgently to her brother.
"Hey, it's a wonderful day, let's not make it catastrophic." Ezra replied, but still increased the speed of the skycar a bit.
So much, in fact, that he almost missed the turn.

"Turn right, turn right!" Jaral exclaimed.
Ezra did just that very suddenly and the car behind them righteously honked before keeping go her way. Meanwhile, he took a look at the digital map of the car and noticed that they were around three minutes away from the hospital.
"You remember which floor Hera is?" he asked while driving.
"Fifth one, so get a damn move on!" she replied almost hysterically while bending forward and putting her hands on the dashboard like she wanted to push the car.
After making another pair of turns in such a daring way that it was a miracle that the police wasn't already chasing them, the siblings reached the parking lot of the hospital and dismounted from the car. They immediately ran through the door and looked around at the entrance.
"Guys!" the voice of Moreena recalled them and they quickly paced toward her.
"How is she?" Jaral asked.
"She's gone into labor. Mira has already brought her in the delivery room." the young woman explained.
"Is everyone else already here?" Ezra asked.
"Yup. Sabine is in the room to keep Hera company, Zeb and Chopper are waiting outside."
They then walked with a certain haste toward the elevator, took it and headed toward the fifth floor. The hospital was quite big, so it took them a few minutes of anxiety as they tried not to bump into the other people minding their own businesses in the hallways.
Finally, they reached the entrance to the delivery room, finding the Lasat and droid of the crew waiting for them.
"About time you came." Zeb tried to quip, but couldn't hide his own anxiety.
"We ran as fast as we could." Ezra simply replied.
Jaral headed straight for the door, instead. She wanted to reassure Hera that she and Ezra had arrived, and she was a woman so it would be more appropriate for her to go in. As the door closed after she got in, Ezra sat down on the chairs of the waiting room and simply went into a bit of meditation to calm his own nerves.
Only a few short minutes passed, during which Ezra could feel that Jaral was using her own Force connection to ease up Hera's fatigue. But finally, the door opened, letting Mira walk out, who removed the face mask and sported a wide smile. Then nodded back toward the room.
"She wants to see you first, Ezra." she said.
The rest of the people waiting smiled encouragingly to him, who felt suddenly a bit nervous to meet his new godson, but he didn't hesitate and followed his mother into the room, where the other nurses were cleaning and dislodging.
