Connections, Love, & Attachment

Mother Daughter Talk

•Guys I'm going to cover more of the family aspects in this story before I continue with the M rated part. I figured you could use a cool down chapter. I'll do one for the boys too. This one focuses on the girls. I just want to show that there's more to this story than what I've written in previous chapters. Remember that the most important things in any relationship is communication and love. Also love is unpredictable and irrational. It can build up slowly over time or it can be instant. The events I'm writing about in this story usually take place closer to the time of a New Hope than where were currently at in Rebels. Those of you that don't ship Ezra and Sabine give it a few years and I bet you'll change your mind. Friendships like that tend to grow over time. Ezra's already attracted to her. It's only a matter of time before she'll start looking at him differently. She might already be but she hasn't let on yet. I think it's a slow building love between them. A love built on true friendship and compassion for each other. Hera and Kanan are the same but they're farther down the road. As always may the force be with you.

•Cass

Hera:

Life had changed on the Ghost big time over the years. Each addition to the crew being a key part. Kanan and my friendship growing stronger each year. We had started out as friends. By the time Zeb joined us we were so much more. Sabine and Ezra both thought we were married by the time they joined a year apart. I guess we do act like we are at times. This crew has really become a family though everything we've been through. We have even got to watch as Sabine and Ezra grew closer together and became a mini version of Kanan and I.

Right now Sabine and I are watching them train and talking.

"So this is what it feels like to be in love with a Jedi." Sabine says.

"It is. It's hard but worth it to be with someone who values life so much. You've got it harder than I have though." I say.

"How so?" She ask. I put my arm around her shoulders.

"Ezra has a dark past based off of selfish habits that were necessary at the time. He went through a lot to get over that past. He's had to face his inner demons several times and you've been through it with him every step of the way. I never really had to do that with Kanan." I explain.

"But you and Kanan have been through a lot as well. You had to help him find himself." Sabine said.

"I could only do so much there. Ezra is the one that brought the Jedi out of him again. I only helped him get close to people after what happened to the Jedi. I couldn't bring the Jedi in him back. I just hoped that something would one day until it did." I say.

"Your were there for him when he went blind and when we almost lost Ezra to Maul. You were there for all of us." Sabine says.

"I was. Kanan needed someone to be there for him then. He needed help and that's what I was there for him. Same for the rest of the crew after every time we almost lost a member. You guys are family. That's what families do. They are there for each other when they need it, in both good and bad times. I see you and Ezra as my kids Sabine. A mothers always there for her kids." I respond.

"I think I speak for us both when I say we see you in the same way. You and Kanan are like parents to all three of us, Ezra, Zeb, and I. You guys are always looking out for us no matter what." She says.

"It's our job. Like I said we're family. All of us even Chopper and AP-5."

"Ah our two pets." Sabine says laughing.

Sabine:

"Hera, is it normal to worry about them? I keep thinking one day I will wake up and Ezra will be gone. Why?" I ask.

"Yeah, I know the feeling. It's not just with them though. It's this war on top of them being Jedi. Every time we get a mission rather it be as a team or solo missions it could be our last. It could always be the last time we see each other. Especially the two of them. Being a Jedi means putting your life on the line to protect others. Being a rebel means fighting to end corruption and tyrannical government. It means fighting for what you believe in and putting your life on the line every day." Hera explains.

"I understand that. What I don't understand is how they are supposed to be peacekeepers in a war." I say.

"Diplomacy, the Jedi were the protectors of the peace. Kanan told me once his Master disagreed with the Jedi taking military ranks. He said many Jedi agreed with her that Jedi shouldn't be part of the military action but the diplomatic efforts instead." She went on.

"Yeah, I can kinda see were Duchess Satine was coming from now. As a kid I never understood how Mandolor could be a neutral pacifist society when our past valued bravery and skill. We never lost that. Kanan and Ezra helped me see the importance of diplomacy." I say.

"Now back to what we were talking about before. You know I see a lot of Kanan in Ezra, and Kanan has said the same thing about us." Hera says.

"Yes, I do love him Hera. Just like you love Kanan. I have for a while now, but couldn't tell him until recently. I don't know when I started feeling this way exactly but I'm glad we are where we are now." I say answering an unspoken question. "It's almost like I'm in his mind now."

"I know that feeling. Kanan hated it when I started saying what he was thinking before he got it out. He'd ask me how I did it. I always responded jokingly with saying it was the force. That either earned a laugh or him asking 'which of us was the Jedi again.' Which made me laugh. That always ends with him kissing me." She says.

"Ezra just laughs kisses me and whispers 'Exactly, & here I thought I was the Jedi here.' Other times he's three steps ahead of me." I say.

"That's why he's the Jedi. They always are." She says. "I don't know where Ezra learned his romantic skills from, but they are good."

"What Kanan's aren't?" I ask.

"Not that good. The Jedi of old taught there younglings that attachment and love was forbidden. Kanan mostly adapted intimidation techniques to flirt with women when I first met him. It worked and still works for both, but his romantic skills come more from his nature than his heart. Ezra is definitely different there." Hera explains.

"He can go a little over board with it." I say.

"What do you expect. He's trying to impress an artist. That's hard to do. You don't see things the same way everyone else does. He has to get creative. Lucky, he's pretty crafty, so creativity is just as much part of him as it is with you. I think that's why you two have gotten so close over the years. Both of you are so creative that you became each other's muse." Hera says.

"I like how that sounds. You know that he's not my only muse though. Just as I don't think I'm his only muse. I think the rest of the crew is just as much of an inspiration for us as we are to each other." I say.

"I think you're right. We are, but everything changed for all of us once Ezra joined us." Hera says.

"Well, you're the heart Hera. Kanan's the brains. Zeb's the mussels." I say.

"You're the talent, face, and body of the crew. Chopper is the systems. AP-5 has become the gps." Hera adds.

"And Ezra's the soul and voice of the crew. Right now we're the voice of the rebellion but we're not the face." I say.

"True, but I sense that's about to come." Ezra says. I hadn't even noticed that they had finished training yet as I turn around to face him.

"So, you two are gossiping about us now?" Kanan ask Hera.

"Just some girl talk love. You know Mother Daughter talks." Hera says as she smiles at me.

"And we just happened to be the topic." Ezra laughs.

"You always seem to come up in them." I say.

"It's ok, we talk about you girls too you know." Both Jedi say.

"Zeb hates it. He doesn't like looking at you two that way." Ezra adds.

"I don't blame him." Hera says. "I wish he had someone like we do."

"Maybe one day he will." I say.

"Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'm tired." Kanan says.

"I think I'll grab something to drink first." Ezra says.

"Sabine what do you think about helping me cook the guys a proper meal?" Hera says.

"I'd love to." I reply.
