________________________________________________________________________________

The town market was complete and utter chaos. What was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission turned into a full-on battle. They had not realised that the planet had recently been overtaken by the Empire, so now blasters shot in every direction.
Y/N was crouched down behind an overturned tent trying to spot Cassian or any of her Rogue One teammates. Internally she groaned. "Why did everything have to go to complete bantha shit today of all days..."

A mission on special days was nothing new in Cassian's and Y/N's relationship, but today had marked their two year anniversary. As they had gotten on the ship Cassian, though he had tried to be inconspicuous as to what he had planned, had told Bodhi that they needed to be dropped off on another planet where a U-Wing would be waiting for them and he'd take her to somewhere special.
"You'll love it, mi Corazon, trust me," he had whispered in Y/N's ear the previous night as they had lied together in their bed.
She hummed. "And if I don't?" The teasing tone evident in her voice. To be fair, she'd be happy just to sit in their shuttle back on Yavin4 in the hangar and just talk, if only it meant to spend time with him.
"Then I'll take you to the edge of the galaxy or as far as you wish, only to see you smile." Y/N looked at the man with such adoration in her eyes, she couldn't help the tears that had slipped down her cheeks.
"Mi Vida," Cassian's thumbs wiped them away, "what is wrong?"
"Nothing," Y/N huffed a laugh and placed her palm on his rugged cheek, "you're just so cheesy I can't help but fear that one day our kids will melt in the Sun."
Cassian stilled completely as Y/N fully realised what she had said. They hadn't talked about their future because they didn't want to instil useless hope. They were at war and any second could be their last, so Cassian and Y/N had made a promise to each other to spend every moment in the present.
"You want to have kids with me?"
She couldn't read his expression. Y/N felt like her heart would break out of her with the force it was beating. She placed a trembling hand on Cassian's chest and focused her stare there. "I know we have no idea what will happen to us. I mean we could be struck down by lightning right this second but," she tried to gather her words, "I'd like to imagine a time when all of this is over and we could start a family."
Y/N didn't look up to him. She wouldn't be able to bear it if Cassian didn't feel the same. Yes, she knew he loved her, but dating was one thing and starting a whole new life and bringing some more into the world was another.
"Mi Alma, look at me."
Tentatively Y/N glanced up and saw Cassian's own eyes filled with tears. "There is nothing in the galaxy that I would want more than to start our family."
The two lovers couldn't contain the large smiles that spread across their faces. They would outlive this war, they would make the galaxy safe and they would have a family of their own.

Y/N's Y/E/C eyes caught the sight of Jyn beating the living daylights out of three stormtroopers and right behind her Cassian was frantically scanning the crowd. A blast that whizzed right past Y/N's head made her crouch down a bit more, but her aim didn't falter as the beam went through her attacker's head and she stood up.
"Y/N!" Cassian's voice rang over the chaos.
"Go!" she motioned with her hands, "start the ship up, I'll meet you there!"
Three troopers advanced towards her, but she rolled out of the way right as ten shots hit the ground where her body had been.
"Go! I'm right behind you!" she screamed at them as her feet carried her towards where Jyn was. With a last glance, Cassian ran to where they had left their shuttle. K-2SO had been critically damaged in a previous mission, so they had had to leave him behind on Yavin. He didn't know where Bodhi, Chirrut or Baze were, he'd lost sight of them once the fight had started, but he caught the three figures running towards the ship as fast as possible.
Bodhi's leg was injured, so his limping slowed the man down, to which Cassian quickly put an arm under his shoulder. Baze looked unharmed at all, while Chirrut sported a nasty cut on his forehead.
"Get the motors running," Cassian instructed Bodhi, who despite the scarred flesh went towards the control panels with determination.
Baze's gruff voice sounded from behind. "Where is Jyn and Y/N?"
"They're coming, they were right behind me." But as Cassian's gaze scoured the alleyway there was nothing. The fight had died down and he could see Imperial ships lifting from the ground and up into the sky. Something was wrong. He could feel it in his gut.
Cassian stepped out of the ship.
"Captain?" Bodhi spoke up.
They weren't coming. He couldn't hear footsteps, not even one pair of them. The town had gone dead silent and that made ice fill his veins. Cassian's feet acted almost on their own accord as he sprinted down to where the market had been.
Bodies of troopers and civilians alike littered the ground, yet he was looking for a particular red coloured jacket Y/N had been wearing. He feared the worst, of course, he did, it's how being in the rebellion since the age of six will make you grow up, but he knew Y/N. If she was dead, then there'd be twenty troopers lying around her, yet nothing like that was even a remote part of the scene.
"Cassian," called out a voice from somewhere behind him. He flipped over what felt like a dozen tables and rubble pieces when he found Jyn's bloodied up form.
"What happened? Jyn, where is Y/N?"
She groaned in pain as her palm pressed against the nasty gash right by her temple.
"They took her, Cassian."
If he had thought that fearing his love was dead could be the worst feeling in the world, this completely proved him wrong.
"What?" he couldn't think, couldn't breathe.
Jyn clutched onto Cassian's arm as she slowly pulled herself up. "We got blitz-attacked. I didn't see them coming, but Y/N did. She pushed me out of the way of a blaster, but one of those fuckers hit me on the head. The last thing I saw was her shooting three more, but one from the back knocked her out."
She sighed. Y/N and Jyn had become fast friends, Jyn even thought of them like sisters. "I'm so sorry Cassian, Maker, I'm so sorry..."
"Don't," he stopped her. "Don't apologise."
Jyn was utterly confused.
"If they didn't kill her, they'll take her to one of the bases. Without a doubt, they will try and interrogate her, but she'll buy us time with that. And while that is happening I'll be damned if I don't go after her and bring her home."
