Staying Awake
Kanan's pov
Right now I am on my bunk trying to sleep. But something is preventing me from sleeping.
Today was a restless day. We fought the Empire's deadly attacks without having a chance to even lay down. I have been exhausted, but now I am not even tired.
That's when my eye lids finally start to drop from tiredness and I drift off into a peaceful slumber.
But that peaceful slumber didn't last long.
"AHHH!!!!" I hear someone shout.
My eyes widen and I fall off my bed. Now I am wide awake.
That scream sounded like.....Ezra.
"Ezra?!?!?" I shout rushing out of my room.
I barge into his room to see him thrashing around on his bunk sweating like crazy.
I immediately go to his side with a worried face.
"Ezra what's wrong?" I ask concerned.
"It hurts!!! Make it stop!!!" He shouts.
"What hurts?" I ask.
That's when he starts gasping and wheezing.
"Can't........breath...." Ezra says and starts coughing.
My eyes widen. I pick him up and run to the med bay. I lay him down on the bed and quickly put an oxygen mask on his nose and mouth.
By now, Ezra was unconscious.
I tried to wake him up, but he stayed still. I was panicking and beyond terrified.
I'm going to need to bring him to a hospital.
I was about to carry him and rush to a hospital, till I heard the rest of the crew come in with worried expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?" Sabine asks looking at Ezra.
"He can't breath and something is hurting him." I say.
Hera then goes to Ezra's side and takes a look at him. Her eyes widen when she touches his chest for a heartbeat.
"His heartbeat is slowing down. There is nothing I can do to fix this. He needs to go to the hospital now." Hera says.
That's when I pick Ezra up and quickly run out of the ghost. They try to keep up with me while running through the fields, but all I care about is making sure Ezra is ok.
We make it to Capital City and luckily there is a hospital. I go inside almost being blinded by the white bright room.
"He needs help!!! Please!!!" I shout still holding Ezra.
Immediately, a doctor approaches me. "What's his condition?"
"He woke up with something hurting him and was having trouble breathing." I say looking at Ezra still with the oxygen mask on him.
"Follow me." The doctor says and we rush Ezra to a room.
When we reached the room, I lay him down on the bed while multiple doctors come in and check Ezra.
"Sir, I'm going to need you to leave." One of the doctors says.
I shake my head. "No I won't leave him."
"You need to leave so we could see what's wrong with him or he will die." He says.
My eyes widen. Tears start to run down my face. I then decide to leave the room and wait for answers on my padawan.
While in the waiting room, Hera, Zeb, and Sabine come in out of breath.
"Karabast Kanan.....you run fast." Zeb says sitting down right away.
"Is Ezra going to be alright?" Hera asks me.
"I honestly don't know." I say with my head down.
Hera puts her hand on my shoulder and sits down with me. Sabine sits with Zeb and looks like she's about to cry.
I hope we won't have to wait much longer.
Time Skip
It has been a few hours and we still got no news on Ezra yet.
Since it was in the middle of the night when we came here, everyone is sleeping on the chairs or on the spare couch.
I haven't even closed my eyes. Who knows when the doctor will come telling us if Ezra is ok. I need to stay awake.
That's when a doctor comes out and I go to him.
"How is he?" I ask.
"We did everything we could. I'm sorry but......he's gone." The doctor says.
No........my padawan.......is gone.
No he wasn't just my padawan, he was my son. My son is gone.....
"He.....he can't be...." I say breaking down into tears.
The doctor pats my back respectfully. "I'm so sorry your son had to die like this."
At this point, he was my son. The most amazing son anyone could ask for. I wish I had more time to tell him that, but now it's too late.
I would give anything to hear his voice again.
"Kanan?"
Just like that voice.
"Kanan."
Ok it's becoming creepy now.
"Kanan can you hear me?"
Wait he must be connecting to me with the force.
"Ezra? How did you learn to talk to me through the force?" I ask out loud.
"I didn't. Turn around."
I turn around and gasp with shock.
I see a nurse pushing a boy with navy blue hair on a wheel chair.
Ezra.....
"EZRA!!!" I shout and run to him to hug him.
Ezra was confused at first but hugged me back.
"You're alive!!" I shout in tears.
"Kanan why *cough* wouldn't I *cough* be alive?" Ezra asks.
I realize I was choking him and I free him from the hug. I turn to the doctor who is confused.
"Wait this is the patient you are here for?" The doctor asks me.
I nod. His eyes then widen.
"Ohhh I mixed up the boy with another kid who had his father take him here. My apologies." He says.
I was angry yet happy that Ezra wasn't dead. "You almost gave me a heart attack. What was happening with him anyways?"
"Turns out, he had a blaster wound on his chest that effected his lungs, making it hard for him to breath." The doctor says. "So we immediately put him into surgery to fix his lungs and stitch his chest."
Ezra must have gotten shot while on that mission we had. Why didn't I keep a good eye on him?
"Well thanks for saving him doctor." I say.
"Yeah thanks for saving me. Also thanks for giving me ice cream after the surgery." Ezra says holding the bowl of chocolate ice cream in his hands.
"Ezra be careful." I say.
"With ice cream?" The nurse asks confused.
"Yeah he could get crazy after having it." I say.
"Hey!! No I don't!!" He says.
"He does." I mouth and they nod.
"Make sure he gets rest for a few days and then he will be as good as new." The doctor says.
"Thank you." I say and wheel Ezra away to the rest of the crew.
Time Skip
"Ezra you should sleep." I say.
"But I'm not tired." He says while yawning.
"Yeah you are." I say and wheel him to his room.
I help him lay on his bed and tuck him in.
"How long do I have to be on a wheelchair?" Ezra asks.
"Only till you get your energy back which will only be in a few days." I say.
Ezra's eyes then start to slowly close. I smile and watch him fall asleep.
I kiss his forehead. "Goodnight son."
"Goodnight dad." I hear him mutter with a smile on his face.
I then left feeling happy Ezra thinks of me as his dad.
I went on my bunk and fell asleep instantly into a peaceful slumber that I deserved and needed.
