They found a store for baby clothes after a long search.

Well, search was relative.

They had stopped at one other shop, buying even mire pampers and baby food, 'cause they realised they weren't going to be able to go to buy more when they were off Coruscant.

They would be heading into war regions and they all doubted to find an open store for baby stuff there.

So they had bought enough for the next time, then went to the clone barracks and gave it to Echo and Hardcase, who would smuggle it onto the cruiser.

When they finally did reach the shop for baby clothings, Ahsoka was really tired.

She had stopped chewing on Padmés braid and yawned all the time.

Though, obviously, she didn't want to fall asleep without her mothers lullaby, since she always grabbed into the air as if she'd grab for Rex helmet.

Which unfortunately, the clone did not have around.

So they made a short stop in front of the shop, sat down on a bench, told Echo over com, to get Rex helmet and start the recording, so that Ahsoka could hear it over the com.

They did, and Ahsoka dazed off immediately.

Well, as soon as she was asleep, the others were to fascinated, by how cute sleeping Ahsoka looked, than to buy some baby clothes.

So they just stood around Padmé, who still was holding the baby, and watched Ahsoka sleep.

Padmé, who was not that blown by the sight of a sleeping baby, even though she had to agree, that it was adorable, just smiled over this.

The girl might get a little problem with privacy. But she'd definitely would get all the care she needed.

After an hour or so, when she finally woke up again they did decide to actually go into the shop.

Fives did his best to not squeak, as he saw all the tiny clothes.

Carefully he took one of the little baby shoes.

"Look how small they are!" he said, holding it in both Hands.

Anakin looked over.

"Such a small little shoe..." he mumbled, taking another one, to put it on Ahsokas foot.

It was way too big, since Ahsokas foot was even smaller.

Padmé carefully handed Ahsoka over to Anakin, so that she could look something for Ahsoka to wear.

She came back with a little white baby-bodie soon after and showed it to Anakin.

"This is what you need" she stated.

It had little arrows pointing in the directions if the holes for the head, arms and legs, all of them labeled, wither with 'head', 'arm' or 'leg'.

In the middle was written "daddy you got this"

Anakin smiled.

"Yeah, Rex would have mixed that up otherwise."

Told Clone was picking out some little caps (all blue) for her.

Fives was squeaking about the tiny baby-socks and Kix got lost with little headdresses for baby twi'lek.

"Kix Ahsoka is a Togruta" Anakin yelled over, as he saw the clone.

"I know, I know. But look how small they are. And how soft..." he rubbed one of them against his cheek.

"I never felt something that soft."

Padmé shook her head, wandering off to find more stuff.

Preferably in blue.

Anakin found a baby-body with 'dream big little one' on the front and wings on the back.

He smiled at the sight of the wings.

"You're a little angle, aren't you?" he asked, remembering how it was the first thing he thought about Padmé.

"You know what? When were you're family, she is too. And the daughter of an angel is an angel as well."

He took the body from the hanger.

Ahsoka squeaked silently, grabbing into the air, and kicking a bit with her tiny legs.

"This one would be something for Fives!" Rex said, as he came over with a cap, on which was written 'caution, high noise level'

Padmé came back with a few more clothes as well.

One, which she showed them smiling, was labeled with 'diaper loading. Please wait."

Rex and Anakin looked at each other confused.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Padmé grinned. "You'll see."

About the same happened, when she showed them the one, on which was written "when I don't sleep, nobody sleeps"

She promised them that they'd understand.

"Can we get her this one?" Kix yelled, running over with one, that had a scrapped up clanker on it, with a clone trooper staying in top and over that 'little hero'

"Aww..." Padmé said, taking it and adding it to the pile of baby clothes.

"This one is better!" Anakin denied Kix decision, showing them one, labeled with 'co-pilot' and a big fighter on it.

"I found blue ones!" Fives yelled over from the other side of the store.

"And here are blue baby socks as well. Come over and look how cute they are!"

Before they could, Fives came over to them, carrying a bunch of blue baby clothes.

Padmé grinned. "Guys, blue is not the only colour in this galaxy."

Fives nearly let the clothes fall. "It's the best!" he replied.

"Besides, it fits her eyes" Anakin added.

Padmé raised an eyebrow. "Since when do you care which colours fit?" she asked, making Anakin turn red.

"Does she need another blanket?" Rex asked.

He had wandered off and found a (blue) fluffy blanket.

He came back holding it over Ahsoka.

"You like it? It's fluffy right?"

The girl grabbed for it, hugging the edge she managed to catch.

"Yes. She loves it" Kix agreed.

Rex tried to get the blanket back, but the baby's grip was tight.

"Let go... of it" the Clone trooper demanded, pulling on the blanket.

The Senator jumped to his rescue, tickling the baby girl, which made her let go of the blanket.

Fives laughed hardly.

"Let's add blankets to the list. Fingers, Braids and Blankets"

"She didn't chew on the blanket" Kix denied that.

"So it's not part of the list."

"But she would have chewed on it, if Rex wouldn't have taken it away." Fives argued.

"But she hadn't"

Ahsoka looked over to both of them, adding a baby noise to the discussion and ending it with that.

Both of the clones turned around to their little sister.

"Can I hold her?" Fives pleaded, looking at his General with big eyes.

"But be careful" Anakin replied, handing over the baby.

Fives took her, getting jealous glances from Kix.

"Hey there" he mumbled, looking at the baby.

He already hold her quite a few times the past one and a half days, but every time again, he was blown by how adorable their youngest recruit was.

And by how small and fragile she seemed.

How could something be so tiny?

He just promised to himself, that in his entire life, he would protect this little treasure.

And not only he had promised that to himself.

The entire 501. did.
