Astrid bit her lip as Greef Karga sent an offer to Mandalorian.
"Are we doing this?"
Mandalorian nodded.
"I have to. He's right, they'll keep coming back for both of you."
Astrid put her hand on his shoulder.
"We can do this. Together."
Mandalorian looked up at her from his seat, nodding.
"We might need some help."
Astrid smiled as she saw Cara boarding the ship.
"Cara, it's nice seeing you again."
Astrid watched Cara choose weapons for herself.
"Din."
Mandalorian turned to her.
"Who's going to take care of him?"
Mandalorian went back to the cockpit to get Kuiil.
Astrid sat beside the baby as Mandalorian and Cara arm-wrestled.
Cara suddenly stopped, holding her neck.
Astrid turned to the baby, her eyes widening as he used the Force.
"Sweetie, no."
She took him in her arms and he stopped. Mandalorian stepped closer to them, watching the baby.
"He's still learning. I'm sorry, Cara."
Astrid held the baby closer to her, swaying slightly as she sang him a soft lullaby.
Putting him back into the orb, she turned around, jumping as she saw Mandalorian.
"You scared me."
Mandalorian stepped closer to her.
"I'm sorry."
Astrid smiled, shaking her head.
"It's fine."
Mandalorian put his hand on her cheek.
"If we don't come out alive..."
Astrid shook her head, putting her hand over his.
"Let's not think like that."
Mandalorian pulled off his glove and put his hand back to her cheek feeling her skin.
"I could kiss you right now."
Astrid blushed, her heart racing. She wasn't sure she was supposed to hear those words but the way he said them, it made her melt.
"Let's talk about that when we save the child."
Astrid sat on a blurrg with Mandalorian sitting behind her as they only had three.
Astrid turned her head slightly.
"What if something bad happens?"
Mandalorian took one hand of the reins and put it on her belly, pulling her closer to his chest.
"Nothing will happen. I'll do anything to protect you both."
Astrid nodded, putting her hand over his.
"I know, I trust you. Bit what if something happens to you?"
Mandalorian shrugged.
"I guess it was my time."
Astrid frowned as they decided to take Mandalorian as a prisoner. Astrid walked beside him, her eyes looking around at all of the stormtroopers.
"I hate this. What if you get hurt?"
Mandalorian glanced at her.
"I'll be fine."
Astrid watched the client as he stood up to answer something. Suddenly from outside everyone started shooting. Mandalorian pulled Astrid closer to him in order to protect her.
"Kuiil, are you at the ship?"
A man in robes showed up, demanding to have the child.
Astrid looked at Mandalorian, worry written in her eyes as Kuiil didn't answer.
