While it would be expected that one's life would change a lot after being thrust into a whole new universe, Hera Syndulla still managed to give "staying the same" the old college try. She was always good old unflappable Hera - the person who stayed tough, cool, and calm even in the worst of situations. But while a lot of that was still the same... there were some things she was finding harder and harder.
Knowing that, in her world, the only man she'd ever loved gave his life to save her (and the rest of the crew)... and then showing up here again, pregnant with his child? It was hard to remain cool about her emotions at times now.
She tried to focus on her new role as "mother hen" of the ragtag 'family' she had here. Little Jacen, Ezra, Sabine, Chopper, and now young Aurora... having people that needed her definitely helped keep her mind off of Kanan in the absence of missions to tackle. But for some reason, ever since she was hit with a tiny arrow earlier in the day by one of those little flying cherubs? She'd felt her emotions building more and more, until they threatened to explode from her.
She climbed the ladder that led to the hatch atop The Ghost, making herself comfortable on top of the ship as she looked out at the stars.... she blinked, as she'd felt this urge before.... like an unstoppable need to... to.... awwwwwwwdammit. Not again.
"I always needed time on my own..."
Yep. She was singing again.
"I never thought I'd...
Need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side..."
She pulled a small holo-projector from her flightsuit's pocket, activating it and looking at a picture that lit up of her and Kanan, standing together on the loading dock of one of the rebel bases they'd assisted.
"When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you"
She sighed, crossing her arms under her breasts, across her stomach as her eyes fluttered closed.
"I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you"
She found herself wondering... when she saw him die... was that it? Was that truly the last time she'd ever see him? Or would this mysterious, magical place find a way to actually give them a chance? While it took them seemingly forever to actually admit how they felt about each other, they'd both wanted a way to have a real relationship and each knew damn well the other felt it.
"We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe; I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you."
As the song came to an end, she felt her eyes go wide as it hit her what had happened. Dammit.... why did she have to get hit with this damn singing thing again? Shaking her head silently, she lay back, hands clasped behind her head as she gave herself to the deep thoughts she'd been having for hours now...
