Ezra's back was leaning against the wall opposite to Sabine, who was quite soundly asleep. As they were laying together, she had fallen to sleep...but not him, he had put himself back together after quite a while. It was getting darker, but he didn't want to disturb her...quite frankly he enjoyed watching her sleep.
Wow, that actually seems a bit creepy.
He imagined that Sabine hadn't been sleeping very much lately, so he supposed that this would be her opportunity to 'recharge'.
Ezra had let go of his attachment to the darkness, and he supposed he had Sabine's warmth to thank for that. However, he wondered if Kanan was able to sense his predicament like he had once before...because that would suck.
Fear leads to anger...anger leads to hate...
Still though, deep down he was still rather furious. The thought of someone taking this young woman in front of him, and using her for their own pleasure...it was disgusting. He saw Sabine as a strong, independent person and to imagine that circumstance is just awful.
He sighed. There was nothing he could do now...perhaps he should be glad that the Grand Inquisitor didn't just kill her...because if he lost her, if he lost anyone that he came to love since joining the Ghost crew...it would break him.
His attention was caught when he saw Sabine shift and mumble. Her mumbled words were of particular interest.
"What...you mean...", she moved onto her back, and continued mumbling. "...preg...nant?"
Ezra's eyes shot open and he moved closer to her. She was in a dream, a dream he could disturb...but he wanted to hear more.
"I'm not...pregnant...I can't be...Hera...", her face tensed and her teeth clamped together. "No...I'm not...I'm too young...I know what he did...he couldn't have...not how it works..."
Ezra's heart pounded. Was she pregnant? Was she hiding that from the crew?
No, please don't be. NO!
He hadn't noticed Sabine going through any signs of pregnancy, unless lack of sleep was a symptom? No, can't be.
He calmed himself. It was just a dream...just a...
Just a fear.
Sabine wriggled a little more and then her eyes shot open, revealing her bright brown pupils. She sat up slowly and rubbed her head as she groaned.
"Hey Ezra...its dark? Wait, I fell asleep? Why'd you not wake me up?", she looked up at the boy crouching beside her.
Ezra was a little lost in what she was mumbling, but he brought himself to answer.
"I-I thought you looked pretty comfortable...didn't want to disturb you", he stuttered slightly. He was eager to know what she was dreaming about.
"Sabine, what were you dreaming about? You mentioned..."
Sabine cleared her throat and quickly got on her feet, Ezra stood up also and looked up at the taller teen.
"Oh? Oh, that was nothing....oh my gosh, Ezra! We need to get back to the Ghost! The others will be worried about us, I didn't even tell them I was going...did you?"
Ezra shook his head. He had slipped by Kanan as he chased after Sabine this morning. No one knows he went off either.
The Mandalorian picked up her helmet and placed it over head. She turned to walk out the alleyway.
"C'mon, we gotta go...the heat from the Empire should be a little eased up now..."
Ezra looked at the back of her head and didn't move as she walked.
"Are you pregnant?", he asked out aloud.

Sabine froze and her her mouth opened in shock behind her helmet. She spun around and looked into Ezra's eyes.
"W-what? Pregnant!? No! Ezra, I'm...I'm not pregnant!", she went up to him and put her hands on his shoulders. "Was I sleep talking? Ezra, that was just a dream...I'm not pregnant".
Ezra couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not...it was unlikely she'd tell him if she was pregnant even if it was true.
"If you are-"
"I'm not!", she interrupted, giving him a slight shake.
"If you are! You need to tell us!", Ezra moved his hands and placed them on her forearms.
Sabine stared into Ezra's blue eyes, and Ezra stared into the black T-shaped visor of her helmet. They stood there for a moment, absorbing each others words.
"I...I took a pregnancy test", she confessed quietly as Ezra watched her. "I bought it from the Lothal black market...yknow, transported goods you wouldn't find anywhere else..."
Ezra's heart pounded against his ribcage, he was in suspense to hear what the results were.
Please say it was negative...please say it was negative...
"It did say positive...", she cleared her throat again and Ezra let out a gasp of extreme worry, he almost fainted. "But it's okay! I bought...I bought a pregnancy termination shot with it. It was expensive...but I wanted to get it just in case".
The Inquisitor did pull out of her and finished her elsewhere, but it did not stop his seed reaching her womb. The only explanation is that it must've been pre-cum...low chance of it happening from that...but Sabine wasn't exactly the luckiest person in the galaxy right now. She took the test and abortion the exact same day she had bought them, she wanted to waste no time.
"I took it. I aborted it. Aborted before I began to show any symptoms. I'm alright now, Ezra".
The blue haired Padawan wanted to scream, to shout as loud and as much as he could. However, he buried his remorse deep inside his heart.
"Let's go back", he murmured. "The others will want to know where we've gone".
