Living with Jedi
A Mother's promise
Hera:
"Kanan, all I want to do is check this data disk. I promise you I won't do anything else." I say. In my hand is Ezra's data disk with his parents holoimage on it. Anyone else would have been able to see what I had. This was one of the few bright sides of him now being blind.
"You better not. Your taking a day off. The kids and I will handle everything. No one deserves it more than you." He says to me.
"No one, really? Not even you? Even Jedi need a break every once in a while." I say teasingly.
"I can't really afford a break anymore. I have a responsibility I have to keep. You on the other hand are doing the job of the entire Jedi order. If everyone didn't know otherwise they would probably think your the Jedi in this group." He says with a slight grin. "Now rest. Remember that Ezra and I can sense everything."
"I'm not that bad. There's just one thing I have to do. Don't worry it has nothing to do with the rebellion. It's something personal I have to do." I respond.
"Ok, we'll leave you alone until your done. I'll send someone in to check on you later." He says leaving the room.
He moves his white walking stick around. The top of which I just now noticed is his lightsaber. It still kills me thinking about why he even needs it. At least he returned in a better emotional state. Ezra was another story. He had returned unharmed physically but emotionally broken. He would never be the same again and we all knew it.
That's why I was doing this. I had to do this. The Bridgers deserved this. I felt that I had let them down and I need to fix it. This was the same way I knew Ezra felt.
I sat down in the gunner seat I had seen Ezra go to every time he came to be alone. I'm doing the same thing he normally does. I thought to myself. I put the holodisk in and a holoimage pops up. The image is of a small family of three.
I look at a younger Ezra climbing on his mothers back. His father standing behind them smiling. Despite the war. They were a happy family. They gave others hope. Then the empire took it all away. They died to give others hope. Now there son fought under me to insure that that hope didn't die.
He was now was now my responsibility. Kanan and I had taken over that job for them when they could no longer do it. Unfortunately we let them down.
I reached up to Mira running my hand through the holoimage.
"I'm sorry I let this happen to him. You never would have let him go. I shouldn't have ether but it wasn't up to me. I couldn't protect him for you. He's so brave and strong. You would be proud of the man he's becoming. I guess I have you to thank for that. He's getting better now. I don't think he'll ever truly be whole again. He misses the two of you. Kanan and I are doing our best but we could never replace the two of you. I do have one thing I'd like to tell you though. He's even willing to sacrifice himself for our crew. We're all like a family to each other. I'd make this same promise that I'm about to make to you, to Sabine's parents if I could Mira." I tell her.
"I promise you Mira that as long as I'm alive I do my best to protect him. Nothing like that will ever happened to Ezra ever again. I might not be you and I'll never be able to fill your shoes, but as the mother and pilot of this crew I'll do my best to sub for you."
I guess I was in here longer than I thought. A few seconds after I had made this promise I heard the door open. I turned around to see who it was.
"Ezra, sorry I was hoping he'd send Zeb or Sabine..."
"It's fine Hera. He didn't send me. I've known what you were planning on doing for a while. I had a vision of you making it. I just didn't tell Kanan. Who did you think suggested to Commander Sato that you take a day off? I told the others my plan but I didn't tell them why I wanted you to have it." He says.
"You set everything up for me? That's the best gift anyone could ever give me. Thank you Ezra." I was crying now.
Ezra just walked over and hugged me. "Consider it a Mother's Day gift. From all of us." He says.
"I was hoping that's how you thought about me."
"Hera, that's how everyone thinks about you."
* Mother son bonding. Lots of Fluff. They gave her a Mother's Day present. *wipes eyes* no I'm not crying! There's something in eyes. Maybe it's just my Force Awakens mascara? I think Hera just got the Star Wars mother of the year award. On second thought Mother of All Time Star Wars Award. Well as always
May the force be with you always & Happy Mother's Day to all you moms
