The Jedi and The Mandolorian

Part 10

Still a flashback
Hera's POV

I walked over to the crib and peered in, i was met with the biggest sapphire eyes i had ever seen, filled with tears..... i felt the instinct to pick up the tiny child and calm him down so i knelt over, i rocked the baby back and forth but it continued to cry. I felt a hand on my shoulder, ''Wait Hera, let me try something.....'' he took the child from my arms and balance it in one arm while holding his palm in front of its face..... I was astonished that the baby just stopped crying and opened its eyes once more and started to giggle and open its arms out grasping Kanan's finger in its palm i could see his discomfort so i cradled the baby in my arms and sang a lullaby that my mother sang to me.

Disclaimer; i dont own this song!

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our 'vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down
(oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love
(the rubble or our sins?)
Gray clouds roll over the hills
(oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above
(the rubble or our sins?)

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all

I looked down and the baby had fallen asleep snoring softly, Kanan had his back to me but he turned around with a piece of paper in his hands, "listen to this,
'if you've found this note, it means that they found us and that we are probably not going to make it out alive, we have been being hunted by a gang called The Empire because we know something that can lead to their downfall. Our son is the light of our world, please keep him safe, he has no name yet but was born on the 1st of January, he is young but deserves a better life than we could give him, please keep him safe. He deserves to see a free world...'
Its signed by The Bridgers.... Hera what do you think we should do?" I couldn't think straight as i sat down on the discarded ottoman, Kanan came closer to me and lifted my chin up, "We need to find him a place to live...." i stood up shocked, "No, if we leave him with strangers who knows what they would do to him" he leaned in and kissed me, we were disturbed by a soft cry from the baby, "I'm guessing that he doesn't like us being affectionate" Kanan chuckled, "What do you say little guy, shall we adopt you?" His answer was a giggle from the baby as he revealed a gummy smile to us both.

I loved writing this especially since i love this song soooooo much!!!!!! #spacefamily
