Never alone

Mission gone wrong

NOPOV

Kanan was running through the imperial ship with Ezra on his back.
"How you holding up there buddy?" He said trying to calm Ezra down.
"Papa I'm scared.. something don' feel right..." Ezra whimpered burying his face into Kanan's hair.
Kanan grabbed Ezra holding him close to his chest. "I know it's ok.." he said hearing a loud bang. "We're leaving.."
"Kanan you and Ezra don't come to the ghost, get on another ship and leave us!" Hera shouted through the com. She sounded like she was in pain?
"Not an option Hera!" Kanan said running into an imperial ship sitting down in the pilots chair with Ezra in his lap.
"Kanan!" Hera screamed into the com as the ghost was shot at flying down towards Malacore.
"No..." kanan muttered and watched the ghost fall.
Ezra saw the ghost fall and started to cry while screaming. "NO!! Daddy go after them!!"
Kanan swallowed the lump in his throat and flew the ship towards the ghost only to see it get captured and taken by the empire. He saw tie's closing in towards him and clicked the hyper space button not knowing where they were heading to.
Ezra whimpered and held onto Kanan's shirt. "Is-is my fault got captured?" He said looking up at kanan with tears flowing out of his eyes.
Kanan's heard broke and he grabbed Ezra holding him tight. "No Ez it isn't.. shhh.. it's ok daddy's here..." he cooed whispering comforting words into Ezra's ear.
After what seemed like forever Ezra finally cried himself to sleep.
Kanan sighed and ran his fingers through Ezra's hair. 'This is not going to be easy' he thought trying his best not to tear up. 'Don't kanan! You have to be strong! For the crew.. and for your little boy.."

Ezra held onto Kanan's hand tight and cried as the rebellion talked about them losing most of the ghost crew.
"Papa..." Ezra croaked and reached up for kanan wanting to be held.
Kanan saw everyone leave the ghost because the meeting ended and picked up Ezra sitting on the chair in the nose gun.
"A-are you gonna leave me Papa?" He said whimpering.
Kanan looked at Ezra in shock. "Not a chance my little light! You are everything to me, the last thing I'd be doing is leaving you at this moment in time.." he nearly shouted holding Ezra tight but his expression softened as Ezra began to cry.
Kanan sighed and hummed a lullaby that Hera use to sing to him satisfied when he fell asleep a couple of minutes after.
Ezra grubbed onto Kanan's shirt as he was asleep smiling softly at the lullaby. "Love you Papa..." he muttered in his sleep.
Kanan smiled. "Love you to son..." he looked back up at the Sky.
"No matter how long it takes, I will find you even if it's too late, and continue the rebellion to protect Ezra..." he said quietly to himself looking at the stars.
