Rebel Family (one-shots)

Sick

Ezra's P.O.V

   I woke up with my head pounding and stomach churning. 'What's happening to me?' I thought, 'great, I am probably sick'. I just stayed in bed for the whole morning. I hear the door opening and closing with a swoosh.

   My back was facing the door so I rolled over and saw Hera standing there. "Are you ok? You didn't come out and get breakfast and it's almost lunchtime," she said. "I'm fine," I said and rolled back over, facing the wall. Hera left the room with determination radiating from her. 

   I was about to fall asleep when my communicator rang. "Meeting in common room," I heard Kanan's voice say through the device. Another wave of a nausea feeling came, but I held it down and I got up holding my stomach. I straighten my poster so I would look normal and walked out of the room. I went into the common room and saw everyone was there already. " Nice of you to join us Ezra," Kanan said. I sheepishly scratched the back of my neck and sat down next to Sabine.

   We were only a couple minutes into the meeting when my stomach started to hurt even worse than before. I felt a burning liquid go up my throat and I held my hand to my mouth. Sabine saw me do this and asked if I was alright. What is up today in people worrying about me today? I nodded my head and tried to swallow the stuff but it wasn't working. Tears were threatening to fall and the pain in my stomach was getting worse. "Ezra," a voice called and I saw Kanan stop talking about the next mission and instead looking at me. I noticed I was sweating bad and I probably look really pale.

   I couldn't hold it back any longer and ran to the refresher. The clanking of  feet hitting the metal floor followed me to the refresher. I went in and threw up into the toilet. I saw Hera and Kanan at the door and immediately started to help me. "I'll go get the med-kit, you stay here with Ezra," Hera ordered. Kanan came over and soothingly rubbed my back. When I was done, I leaned back and the churning in my stomach subsided a little. The pain was so ban that I was crying and holding my stomach.

   "Take it easy Ezra," Kanan said gently. He pulled me into his warm arms when I start to shiver. On the outside, I felt embarrassed being hugged but on the inside I loved the warmth and comfort. Still, I fought to get out of the hold. "Ezra stop," Kanan ordered. I kept trying but soon just gave up and leaned into the warmth. But there was more than warmth in the hug, there was......love and safety. I couldn't believe I was thinking this and at the same time loving it with a smile spread across my face.

   Kanan did something unsuspected, he picked me up bridle style and walked me to his room.  "I don't think you would want to stay in the refresher all day," he teased and laid me down in his bed. Hera came in with the med-kit and grabbed some pills for me to take. I stubbornly shooed the pills away and Hera didn't seem to happy about it but didn't yell at me. 'Why were they being so nice to me?' I thought and sooner or later, two pill were sliding down my throat. Hera and Kanan smiled when they finally convinced me to take the pills.

   "Get well Ezra," Hera said, putting her hand on the side of my face and I couldn't help but lean into the motherly touch. Then she surprised me by placing a kiss on my forehead and left the room. I looked at Kanan in disbelief that, that happened. He chuckled and said, "get some sleep Ezra".  Kanan was going to leave the room and I was disappointed when he was leaving. He stopped at the door a turned to face me. He must have sensed my disappointment through the force because he came back over to me. "You know what, I don't have anything to do today so I'll stay here," he said smiling. I gave a weak smile and my eyes were starting to slide down.

   I was really tired after throwing up. I scooted over and hoped that Kanan would get the message. "Do you want me to lay with you?" He asked. I scratched the back of my neck looking away and said, "my mom or dad would take turns staying with me when I was sick and stayed with me in bed". I felt like I was being a burden to Kanan, "you don't have to". Kanan just smiled and got under the covers with me. "If it makes you feel better, then I will stay," he said. I smiled and Kanan wrapped me in his arms. I was happy and fell into my first peaceful sleep since my parents.

   I woke up again and felt a lot better. I was still in Kanan's hold and didn't bother to wake him up. A minute later, his eyes opened and saw that I was awake. "Are you feeling better?" He asked me. I nodded my head and then realized that Kanan would probably stop what he was doing. "Good," he said and brushed his fingers through my hair. I embraced him in my own hug to get closer to Kanan and he didn't oblige. We just laid there and I was happy to know that he wouldn't move anytime soon. "Why are you still laying with me when I feel better?" I asked him, regretting on asking.

   "Ezra, you don't just feel better in a couple of hours. It will be awhile until your fully recovered," he explained, "and I told you that I would stay with you until you feel better". "Thank you so much dad," I whispered and hoped that my master didn't hear me. "Your welcome son," Kanan cooed. I was surprised at first but then it dissolved into pure happiness. I then felt a wave of sleepiness and dozed off.
