Little Space Family

Chapter 5

During the time that Ezra was training - he had realized that going for a run and visiting his old tower and Old Joe was out of the cards as they were in flight in hyper space; when had Hera taken off?? Was it when he was asleep during the night?? Anyway, back to the point, during the time that Ezra was training, when he decided to practice his lightsaber training, the teen couldn't actually find his self built and earned weapon. Where in the force was it?! Last he knew, Ezra had it attached to his belt after training with Kanan on Lothal so the first place he checked was his room; nope. It wasn't there. Next the teen decided to check his Master's room as if anyone was to have his lightsaber, it would be Kanan. Knowing the man wouldn't mind, Ezra entered the pass code and walked into Kanan's cabin; it wasn't there either?! Not that he could see. Before he could leave the room, Ezra noticed...a crib?? Looking closer around the room, he also spotted....baby clothes?? Baby toys?! 

"What the..." Ezra had never felt so confused; he then noticed the holoclock on Kanan's bed side table which also showed the date...was the thing broken?? It showed that today was a month passed what he thought it was "that can't be right" the boy mumbled; it wasn't possible. He checked the holopad that was resting on the bed; it showed the same thing!! "What in the force??" if this was right then....Ezra had missed an entire month!! But how?! He couldn't have been asleep that long...could he?? What exactly was in that drink?! Not liking this whole situation, the youngling decided to go ask; he entered the common room which seemed to startle his crew mates...what was wrong with them?? "Hey Kanan" Ezra spoke "why em...why is your room full of baby things??" that was a question he never thought he would ask...ever; they all shared an eye wide look of worry. 

Ezra immediately knew "no way!!" he was in complete shock which made everyone raise a brow "what?!" Sabine asked; how did he know already!? "Kanan...you got Hera pregnant!!" the couple became as red as a tomato whilst the others burst out into a fit of laughter, all but Ezra of course "no!!" they exclaimed. The youngest teen raised a brow "oh...then what's with the baby stuff in your room?? Em...and the high chair??" Ezra spotted the chair in the corner of the room; the room fell silent "well?? You guys gonna time me or do I have to continue thinking Hera's pregnant??" he asked "also, have I been in some kind of coma or something?? Because if the holoclocks are correct, a month has passed since I drank that drink". The crew shared a look once again before sighing "alright, we'll tell you" Zeb stated, followed by Sabine "but...don't get mad okay??" well that was worrying. They ushered for the fifteen year to sit down which he hesitantly did; from how they were acting, Ezra wasn't sure if he wanted to know any more....nah. His curiosity was too strong. 

Finally, Kanan began the struggle of explaining "do you remember that drink that Sabine and Ahsoka made??" he asked earning a nod "well....turns out it had chemicals in it which....may or may not have....sort of...kind of....possibly....turned you into a....a baby" could he have sounded more nervous?? "And so...you're been a baby...for a month". The Ghost crew watched as Ezra's eyes widened from the information "what?! You're telling me that I've been a baby for an entire month!?" he exclaimed; Ahsoka spoke up "y...yes...we're so sorry Ezra, Sabine and I had no idea it would turn you into a baby" her friend agreed. Somehow, the fifteen year old managed to calm himself down "well....at least you guys managed to find a way to turn me back" why was everyone silent?? And why did they avert their gazes?? "Well" Rex spoke "not exactly...we didn't actually look for a way to turn you back" and the yelling was back "what?! What do you mean none of you looked for a way to turn me back?!" it was clear he was still confused and...slightly hurt; why wouldn't they turn him back?? Didn't they want him back?! What were they going to do to him whilst he was a baby?! They were rebels after all!! And rebels had better and much more important things to do then looking after a baby?! So why in the force wouldn't they want to change him back?! 

Kanan spoke up again, wanting to calm his Padawan down again "we...we were selfish" he sighed "it's just...you saw us as your family, you called Zeb and Sabine your brother and sister, Ahsoka as your cousin and Kenobi and Rex as your uncles" Ezra fell silent at that for a moment "what about you and Hera??" they weren't expecting that. The Captain spoke this time "you saw Kanan and I as....as your parents...as your mum and dad". The room was once again silent as they allowed the fifteen year old to process everything; he suddenly stood from his seat and left the room. He needed to think...to be alone so he entered his cabin and locked it. A few hours passed by when Ezra left his room again; he finished meditating to train and think in peace. The boy entered the common room and once again grabbed a bottle of water and an apple; all eyes were on him as he turned around and was about to leave without uttering a single word....but came to a halt once he reached the door. The crew watched as the teen stepped back, not facing them but looking down over his shoulder "...I didn't need to be a baby to see you as my family....you already were before i drank that drink" all eyes widened with complete surprise; none of them knew this!! This was new information to all of them!! "You...you did?!" Hera asked "so you....you saw us as your family...as your siblings, uncles, cousin and parents...before any of this?!" they all watched as the teen slowly nodded "yeah...I did". And with that, he left. His crew sat in complete shock and silence.
