Bounty On your Heart (complete)

6. You're a what?!

I grab the sling Ma'lenna had given me and wrap it around me . I then take Rory and place her in the front. Now for Cassian. Just as I'm about to call for help. A knock sounds at my door. I smile at the perfect timing of whoever is on the other side. I open the door to find Hunter there looking sheepish.
" Hey Hunter perfect timing. I need some help."

I wave him into my room and he looks around. I watch as his eyes flicker around at each item in my room . His eyes land on my most treasured possessions. My lightsaber and my sketch book. He moves foreword and picks up my sketch book and begins to flip through it until he come to my most recent of him holding my babies.

" I drew that last night. while you were holding them." It had been a tender moment the twins lying on his chest . Rory was asleep . But Cassian was wide awake staring up at Hunter. Hunter just happens to look down and lay a hand on his back and begins to hum a mandalorian lullaby.

Cassian fell fast asleep joining his sister in dream land.
He smiles and closes it .
" so you mentioned something about crew rooms?" He comes and places Cassian on his chest and I secure him around Hunters chest.

" Yeah come on . You all can pick."
As we come out of my room he stops and see the first mates room across from the Captains room.
" what's this room?" He asks
I smile already knowing where this is going.
" that's the first mates room "
He opens the room and see's a copy of my room but slightly smaller.
" I want this room." I chuckle and state

" you sure ? I'd hate for the little ones to keep you up at night."

" let me put it to you this way....if I don't take this room and the others find out about it.... You will be the one to regret it. "

I chuckle and lean up and kiss his cheek. I pull away and see something in his eyes. He clears his throat and says

" Well that's settled . Let's go find the others."
I watch as this caring, handsome man walks away to the galley. My sons tuft of black hair picking up over his shoulder. I look down at Rory to see her looking up at me with a little smile.

" Don't even think about it little missy. You aren't even twenty four hours old and you're already trying to set your mom up." I chuckle as her little bottom lip rolls out.
I follow after Hunter and my son to find the others in the Galley.

" Ok so there are five bedrooms down the hallway behind you. There all the same size."
They look at each other and take off. Crosshairs stays behind and says "any more down by your rooms?"

I smirk and pat Rory's back. " Actually there is , the gunners quarters has a hatch that leads to the laser cannon below that room. Easier access,but I didn't offer that room , due to the babies waking every few hours. I didn't want to keep any of you up."
He shrugs and says " You let me be the judge of that ok Zara?" He pats my shoulder as he passes.

I look to Hunter and he shrugs. Huh, you never know what your gonna get with Cross.
He comes back about ten minutes later and states.
" Thats my room."

I smile at him
" Alright Cross that's fine by me. Just know I tried to warn you."

He raises an eye brow at me and scoffs. " If I can sleep through Wrecker talking in his sleep and Echos night terrors. I'm sure I can sleep through the little ones making noise."
I shrug and turn to make some breakfast.
I look at Hunter

" I'm sorry I slept all night and you all had to sleep in the galley. You all could've found your rooms by your self."
He stares at me for several moments and places a hand on my shoulder.

" Zara , you just gave birth and the little one slept through the night surprisingly. You all are exhausted. We've slept in worse conditions than the galley. Put your mind at ease, we didn't mind."

I take a deep breath and blow it out.
And turn back to breakfast. Eggs, sausage , and peppers. I have to wraps too. I make enough for every one and turn to set the table only to find Hunter behind me.
" Hunter what are you doing?"
He steps closer and boxes me in.
" Something hasn't made sense to me since you sent that message."
" Alright ... what?"
" Why did you call us?"

I shrug and say " I knew you all could protect me. Especially if I had newborns."
He nods his head and then asks the one thing I had hoped he wouldn't ask yet.

" Why is Cad Bane after you?"
I sigh and say " I only want to have to tell this once. Let's wait for the others."

He nods and turns to grab plates and cups. Oh I dread this.

The others slowly tringle in and we all sit down . I place Rory in a play pen and take Cassian from Hunter and place him beside her. I sit down at the table and wait till every one has eaten. Then I look at Hunter across from me and say

" My name is Princess Zaraline Grace Galechase. I am the Daughter of Queen Zala and Consort Hugo Galechase of Naboo. After Senator Amidala stepped down my mother took her place . I was already at the Jedi temple when my mother took the throne. So I changed my name to Zara Stormchaser. But my parents were pressuring me to return to Naboo until Master Yoda had a talk with them. Telling them my path wouldn't take me back to Naboo to rule after my mother stepped down. My path and destiny were much greater. For you see there is a prophecy the Jedi would rarely speak of. The Chosen one would betray his fellow Jedi and turn to the dark side. It's with the help of a prince and princess of Naboo that a young Jedi will rise and be aided by them. To bring peace to the galaxy."

" So your a princess...."States Echo
" Uh-huh." I wrap my hands around my Jawa coffee.

" Your kids are destined to help save the galaxy...." States Tech
" Yup...." I take a long swallow

" Your being hunted because of this..." asks Wrecker
" Yes..."

" You think this is the reason your being hunted?" Asks Hunter
" I don't think , I know for a fact! " I exclaim slamming my hand on the table.
The plate and cups clink together and the noise disturbs the twins. I sigh and rub a hand through my long hair.
" Look, I need to find Master PLO and Master Yoda. You up for coming along as my protection detail?" I ask them.
They look at each other and turn back to me.
" Look Zara your talking about years of protection. How are we going to afford fuel ? What about food? Repairs for the Reaper?" I chuckle at the questions.

" Look I'll supply everything. I'm only asking you to help get Cad Bane off my back so I can find a safe planet to settle down on."

I see hesitation on their faces so I get up grab my babies and walk to my room not looking back once.

When I get to my rooms I place my babies down in their bed and sit down and cry. I haven't cried since I found out almost all of the Jedi were dead. I dry my tears , check on my little ones, seeing that they are ok I sit and meditate.
