Star Wars One-Shots

Meeting Spectre-7 (S7S)

Outside of Hera's room, everyone in the Ghost Crew patiently waits for the newest member.

Well, maybe not so patiently.

Zeb and Chopper are arguing about what will change once the baby joins the crew. Sabine and Ezra are boasting about everything they'll teach and spoil the child with. Every once in a while, someone will spill their nerves then quickly cover them with excitement.

Surprisingly, Kanan is the quietest and calmest of them all. He sits closest to the door, his arms crossed over his chest. He is attempting to ignore all of their endless chatterings.

Only, it's not working too well.

Ezra and Sabine lean over to him, smiles wide on their faces. "Kanan, what do you think the gender of your baby will be?" Ezra asks.

"As long as both Hera and the baby are healthy and safe, I don't care."

"Boo!" Sabine shouts as both she and Ezra point their thumbs down. "We all know they'll both be fine."

"Yeah! Just tell us what you think. We won't spill it to anyone." Ezra adds, hoping that they'll get something out of the man.

"I really don't care." Kanan insists with a smile. "Either gender will be perfect."

"Well, of course, either one will be perfect," Sabine says as she rolls her eyes. "We just want to know which one you think the baby is."

Kanan remains silent, not wanting to respond.

Ezra bends close to Sabine, talking under his breath. "I bet he doesn't want to say anything because he doesn't want to be wrong."

"I'm blind, not deaf." Kanan quickly remarks, getting snickers from Ezra and Sabine. "Fine, do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" They cheer together before leaning close so he can whisper it to them.

"Get closer." He quietly encourages. They obey, getting as close as possible. "I already know what the gender is."

"No, you don't." Ezra scoffs as they lean away from him.

"Are you doubting the abilities of your master?" Kanan smirks as he leans back into his chair.

"Yes. Because I don't think the Force decided to show you what Hera is having." Ezra argues as he playfully crosses his arms over his chest.

"Yeah, that's not how the Force works," Sabine adds.

"How do you know?" Kanan asks as he raises an eyebrow.

"Because I asked you last month if you could do that and you told me you couldn't." Sabine fires back with a smirk.

Kanan shrugs. "Maybe I was granted a vision this morning and that's why I know."

She groans in frustration at him then whispers into Ezra's ear, "Did he really?"

Ezra quickly whispers back. "No clue. But I'm calling bantha fodder."

"Language!" Kanan scolds with a chuckle.

"Shut up, old man." Sabine laughs as Kanan shakes his head at them. The three of them continue to argue with each other involving topics such the baby and the Force.

When none of them are expecting it, the door to Hera's room opens. "Captain Syndulla is requesting the father's presence."

The room falls silent as they watch with wide eyes and grins. They all know this means that the baby has finally been born. In just a few minutes, they will get to meet the newest member of the Ghost Crew and they can hardly contain their excitement.
