“What do I know about being a mother?”
This isn’t the first time Jyn has asked this question. Difference though, is that the baby was here. In a wooden bassinet Baze had put together, little mattress they had to stitch together themselves
“More than you think. She’s been here a few days now.”
Jyn gave Cassian a shallow smile.
“I did think it’d take less time for me to ruin her.”
“Nothing’s ruined.”
Yet. They both think that but don’t say it.
They were staying in a house on Yavin, one Kes had built to be a guest house for their place. If they stayed their, they would be near friends. Their baby, she’d be near Poe, who was almost one.
Having people still felt weird to Jyn.
When she found out she was pregnant—basically forced to see a nurse by Shara and Leia— it was hard to tell anyone. She was too scared of herself, of being a bad mother.
“You don’t know shit but you’ll learn. Yell anytime and I’ll come over. You two aren’t alone.” Shara had told her. Jyn believed her, but they hadn’t needed any help yet. Her and Cassian had read every parenting pamplet available on the holonet and the two days they’d been in their own home felt comfortable.
She knew it wouldn’t last, but that’s parenting she guessed. Moving through the stages, knowing things will always change.
“I’m glad you’re here,” she told Cassian, letting her head fall on his shoulder.
“You think I’d leave you alone?”
“No. Just needed to tell you out loud.”
