5 of ?
The months flew by, it only felt like yesterday when you told the news and now you’re currently in the ninth month. Any day now, the baby would be due. But you haven’t felt the signs yet.
The feeling of not holding a lightsaber and seeing action for a while was perhaps the biggest adjustment you’ve ever made; recalling the years where you’ve kept yourself low from the Imperials’ radar and having to limit the times you held your saber, this was far different than that.
To pass the time, you and Cal often strolled together just to keep yourself active. The Mantis continued its travels from time to time, but it would always find itself home in Cerinda and would occasionally return to Bogano for old time’s sake. The two of you stopped by the stream that branched out of the lake, something about that part of the forest became like a magnet to the both of you. Even in your expectant state, you were still the same sprightly girl who would dip her toes into the cold water at any given chance.
“I’ve been thinking,” you began. Beaming brightly and excitedly as you spoke, “I want to have our baby in this one planet that my master and I used to go to for a campaign.”
“Oh?” Cal propped his cheek against his fist, dreamily gazing at you while you pluck flowers by the shoreline and set them floating into the gentle current.
“The planet, Ilaro,” you craned your head to him. “It’s a neutral planet by the Outer Rim, but it’s very peaceful there. No Imperials, no fighting,”
He heard you sigh as you daydream about the planet in your mind. He kept smiling as he listened.
“If only you’ve seen it, Cal—oceans clear and bright blue like the sky that they almost conjoin, the city that Master and I went to was so extravagant yet quaint, much like Reema here but a bit bigger,” you trail off, and then smiled as the last, finishing thought entered your mind and turned to your husband. “And oh, I know the perfect place for us: by the hillside north of the city. There’s another town there, it’s small but I think it’ll do for us,”
He hummed in reply, enamored by your idea but mostly at your radiance. You couldn’t stay mad at him for only half-listening. You’re endeared by his droopy, dreamy eyes and the smile that still stood out even through his stubble that he personally kept to a certain thinness of his liking.
“What is it?” you giggled.
“You’re just so beautiful,” he cooed. “I just can’t help but stare even while you talk, I’m sorry.”
You caress his scruffy jaw, he willingly inches to you as he comes in for a kiss. You secretly chuckled when his stubble tickled you and you liked it when he did.
“I can’t stay mad, darling,”
That afternoon, you tended to the plants in the terrarium, shearing the weeds and other overgrowth that crowded the soil bed. It sooner became half a flower garden and a half a medicinal herb garden, you and Merrin shared sides of the terrarium respectively; Greez was cooking up some lunch while Cere continued her favorite pastime of splicing and hacking Imperial communications, but also found out about how to trace long-range frequencies as far as two to three parsecs.
“Have you ever thought if they’re a boy or a girl, [y/n]?”
“I have, but my mind changes every now and then—one day I’ll think it’s a boy, and then the next it’s a girl,” you chuckled. “Cal and I have been debating the same thing.”
“You’re at your ninth month, anyway. I’m sure it’ll come soon,”
“Yes, soon,” you trailed off echoing the Nightsister’s words.
Later, Cal came back with game that he had hunted in the forest’s inner meadows. One of Cerinda’s fauna that you’ve found a taste for was the Chorcap—a medium-sized, horned quadrupedal animal, it was slightly shorter than a Nerf in height and less hairy too, but it was stocky in build, making it prized for their meat. Merchants in Reema would buy for the horns, butchers would get portioned cuts, and Cal would haggle with those butchers for the portions.
“I’m back,” Cal chirped as he entered the ship. “Got some extra Chorcap on the road.”
“Oh finally! I thought this stew would never be done if it weren’t for you,” Greez grunted.
“Relax, Greez, here—the seasonings you asked for,”
Cal tossed a pouch to Greez to which the captain expertly caught with his bottom right arm and continued to stir the pot. He greeted you with a kiss on the cheek as you tended the little indoor garden and seated himself by the dining table.
“That smells good!” your husband exclaimed.
“Without these spices, my stew would be as bland as unfermented Merenzane Gold!”
From time to time, you’d conceal your expressions whenever your belly contracted. You’ve pretty much anticipated the baby’s due, but it was the pain that you tried to hide—not wanting to disturb everyone at your expense.
Minutes later, Greez called everybody for lunch, you helped in setting the table and serving out the helpings for each plate. The aroma of the stew wafted around the Mantis, making all the stomachs rumble, and come running towards the table. Lunch became more animated as conversations and topics volleyed here and there. You turned to BD-1 perched over the rim of the table between the lounge.
“Say, BD, do you still have the scan of the Binog?”
“What for?”
“Oh, you’ll see, hon,” you ended it with a smile.
After lunch and helping with the dishes, you retreated to the bedroom with BD-1 perched over your shoulder. You seated yourself by the workbench, producing spools of thread, buttons, filler cotton, and fabrics of different colors—all coming from the business district in Reema. You produced a holodisk and held it close to the droid
“Can you transfer the Binog’s hologram scan here, BD?”
“Wooo!” the little droid whirred out its splicer and connected itself to the holodisk’s port. Seconds later, the hologram of the great creature of Bogano flickered above the holodisk’s projector.
“Thank you, BD,” you rewarded the droid with head pats before starting with your work.
You drew patterns for each part of the animal and then sheared them piece by piece. Holding them together with pins, you started sewing the main body first—leaving an opening for the stuffing later—and then moved on to the legs and tail. Your slender fingers gracefully twisted, curled, and threaded with the stitches as you went on—pushing the needle and then pulling the thread—until it was starting to take shape. Glancing at the projection every once in a while to check if you’re getting the likeness correctly.
“Booo!”
“That’s right, BD, I’m making the Binog—though a smaller version, for the small one,” you cooed.
When the limbs and tail have joined the body and head, the next step was to sew in the fins that lined its spine all the way to the tail and its ears. You had the patterned fabrics at the ready, you just needed to stitch them. Cal walked in to the bedroom, finding you sitting back relaxed while sewing together a toy Binog.
“That’s actually pretty cute,” he beamed.
“Thank you, but it’s not finished yet,”
The finishing touches were the button eyes. A pair of solid black buttons were secured in an X-like stitch on its head. Two tiny white triangles were sewn along the mouth for its fangs that peeked out even with the actual creature’s mouth closed. Finally, BD-1 helped you stuff the toy with the cotton since his little claws could fit the openings you left for each body part.
“Thanks for your help, BD,” you sealed the filler openings and held it in your hand. “There we go!”
“That’s adorable,” your husband commented.
Even if it was never your intention to worry everybody—your husband, especially—you just couldn’t control the instance where your knees buckle and your muscles felt like tightening with a great force. As you struggled to stand up, everybody in the ship was alarmed by your cry of pain. All of a sudden, the swirling in your stomach started to tense up.
“The baby’s coming…!” you struggled to calmly breathe.
“Cere! Merrin!” Cal cried, scooping you up from your seat at the workbench and carefully settling you down on the bed.
“Whoa, whoa, what’s happening!?” Greez was infected with the same panic and alarm as the two ladies. The captain definitely heard your cries, he just didn’t think the baby was coming now.
Your ankles jerked as your toes curled tightly, your hand gripped the sheets as you tried to fight off the contraction pains. Cal ignored the hard grip that’s crumpling his sleeve as you broke down sobbing in pain.
“I know a place!” Cere exclaimed. “Captain, set a course to Polis Massa! Grid coordinates K-20, NOW!”
“It’s two parsecs away via jump to hyperspace!” Greez argued.
“Captain, just do it!” the woman snapped back.
“You’re gonna be okay, [y/n], do you hear me?” Cal’s voice cracked while squeezing back your free hand.
“[y/n], breathe,” Merrin calmly chanted, it became her mantra to you as the minutes went on.
The jump to lightspeed felt like an eternity as you battled the excruciating pain. Your body tossed and turned, finding a position where the cramping hurt less. Your legs thrashed, your vision blackened around the edges as you struggled to breathe in a slow pace—it only lessened the cramping to an extent but you don’t know for how long you could hold it.
Cere came barging in the bedroom.
“We’re near our destination. How is she holding up?”
“She’s trying to breathe calmly, I strongly object in using my magick on her,” the Nightsister reported.
“My head is burning!”
Cal pressed the back of his hand against your forehead, “She’s having a fever! How much farther until we reach Polis Massa?”
Before Cere could reply, the feedback of Greez’s microphone crackled through the speakers.
“Hold on, folks! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!” the Lateron announced.
Cere sprang back to the cockpit, swerving and catching her balance as the ship rumbled. The turbulence didn’t help much, but you kept holding onto Cal’s hand.
“Cere, you didn’t tell me that we’re running into an asteroid field!”
“Because Polis Massa is on the asteroid field!”
“And this is a medical station we’re talking about!”
Greez steered closer to the largest asteroid until he found a cluster of silver infrastructures sticking out on the largest rock in the field. Cere had no further qualms about that, she turned and tapped the buttons and knobs on her communication station in the ship to send the urgent transmission.
“This is Jedi Cere Junda, we are in need of urgent medical assistance! A crew member has gone into labor and is about to give birth, please!”
“Transmission verified, you are allowed to dock. We’ll have a ward and medical droids ready for her,”
The medical droids stationed there were on full alert, a couple of the wardens came out of the building with a gurney prepared for you as they anticipated your arrival. The ship maneuvered and hovered carefully by the landing pad.
“We’re here,” Cal whispered to you, hoping to console you.
“Where are we?” you murmured.
“Polis Massa,” he scooped you up from the bed, carried you all the way out of the Mantis and then laying you down on the gurney waiting for you.
The female wardens briskly pushed your gurney towards the medical bay and then to the available ward that was ready for you. The human nurses cooed and whispered to you in comforting, melodic voices; coaxing you and telling you everything down to the littlest detail.
“We’re going to carry you to the next bed, alright?”
“Okay…” you replied, your eyes were too heavy to direct your vision to whichever nurse was speaking to you.
The nurses traded diagnoses with one another and then relayed them to the medical droids, reflecting your vital signs onto their computers and holographs.
“Vitals are fine, no remarkable findings,”
“Blood pressure is stable,”
The nurses helped you lift up your knees as a midwife droid hovered slowly towards you. The entire crew watched through the glass wall of your room, they all leaned against the opposite wall but it was your husband who eagerly stayed behind the glass.
“Is she going to be alright?” he asked the one nurse who exited your room.
“Yes, it’s good that you’ve brought her here on such short notice,”
“We were only two parsecs away from here,” Cere added.
The nurse had allowed Cal to enter the ward—for only one non-patient was permitted to accompany the patient—he sat by your side, close to your head. He stroked your hair as you take deep breaths before pushing.
Cal watched the red fill your cheeks as you tried to push, following the pace of the midwife droid that’s coaxing you. He ignored your screeching cries, he wiped away the tears that rolled away from your eyes as you breathed through clenched teeth, preparing for the next.
An infant cry filled the room, Cal’s head instantly turned to the end of the bed where the midwife droid held your newborn—he watched the droid clean the infant on the spot and swaddle it in a soft, white sheet. He stood up and held the tiniest human being he’s ever seen in his entire life. A tinge of orange strands adorned the little one’s head.
“It’s a girl,” he gasped.
He approached you with your daughter in his arms, he held her close to you so you may look at her crumpled, crying little face.
“Cassidy,” you whispered.
Cal heard you utter the name. You traded glances and he smiled. A teardrop glimmered at the edge of his eye.
“Cassidy.” He echoed. The baby’s tiny hand hooked around his finger and he could’ve sworn he felt his heart burst out of his ribs, “My little Cassidy.”
He held his baby daughter right in front of him. Dark, round, shining eyes blinked back at him as Cassidy’s stubby arms squirmed, lightly hitting his cheeks and jaw with smooth, soft hands.
“She has your eyes,” Cal choked.
“She has your hair,” you manage a chuckle.
“You did great, darling,” he sat down, level to you and planted a kiss on your forehead while the Mantis crew watched the little family have their greatest moment yet.
[6:25 PM] chan goes to town on your neck, sucking and biting tons of dark marks onto your skin, his hands groping at whatever his hands could reach. he expects you to tell him to stop, slow down, but when you’re just as handsy back, running your hands up and down his torso and pulling on his hair again, it only spurs him on more.
he growls against your skin and rolls his hips into yours repeatedly, making you moan in response. when he finally finishes marking up your neck, he flips you around and roughly tugs down your pants and underwear, bending you over with the wall for support and reaching down to rub you with one hand.
“you ready baby?” he hums, “cause i’m gonna fuck you right here against this wall, and i’m not gonna stop until you beg me to.”

________________________________________________________________
Sam didn’t care that Dean was mad. You were a valuable part of the team and Dean had no right to kick you out, especially since you had literally nowhere to go.
“He lied to us!” Dean shouted. “He told us he was human and he’s not! How can we trust him?”
“Dean, we never asked Y/N if he was human. We just assumed he was. That’s on us. And besides, he’s done nothing but help us.”
Dean scoffed.
“Look at your arm. When I left, that was a huge, bleeding wound. Now, there’s not even a scratch.”
“Big deal.”
“You want me to give you another wound? See if it really is a big deal?”
Dean glared at his brother. “Why are you on his side?”
“Because he’s been on ours for the past few months. And that’s all that matters.” Sam grabbed his bag and threw a few of his extra items into it. “Come on. We’re going.”
“Where?”
“To find Y/N. We can’t let him leave thinking we hate him.”
Dean began to grumble but Sam shut him up with a look. The brothers grabbed their bags and headed out to the Impala.
________________________________________________________________
The brothers searched and searched but found no trace of you. Sam hated to admit it, but there was no way of knowing where you could have gone. So the brothers had to return home.
A few days later, Sam was in the library when he heard a small noise from behind one of the shelves. He wandered over, blade in hand, to find you cowering in the corner.
“Y/N?”
“Sam? Is Dean here?”
“Yeah, he’s wandering around somewhere. Why?”
“I wanted to come get a few things but I didn’t want to run into him. Is he still mad?”
Sam nodded slightly. “I tried to get him to see that you weren’t the enemy, but…”
“It’s okay. I know I should have told you two that I was… am an angel.”
Sam gave you a small smile before leading you down the hall towards the room where you’d stayed. There wasn’t much in there, but he was touched that you wanted to take the few items the Winchesters had given you. Perhaps there was some sentimental attachment there?
Sam disappeared into his room to grab a bag for you. In his absence, however, Dean appeared.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Dean,” you said, turning in surprise. “I just came to get a few things. I’ll be gone soon. I promise.”
Dean said nothing—after all, what could he say to you?
“Dean,” you said, approaching him slightly. “I’m… sorry. For keeping my true self from you.”
Dean glared at you. After a few moments, he finally spoke in a gruff voice. “Show me.”
“What?”
“Your wings. Show them to me. I have to see them to believe that you’re…”
You nodded before allowing your wings to slowly unfold behind you. They were gorgeous, if you did say so yourself—a deep navy blue with minuscule white specks, visible only if you were looking at them up close.
Dean’s face dropped slightly upon seeing the grandeur of your wings. He took a step forward and reached out, his fingers running through your feathers.
He noticed you wince slightly. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” you said, wing trembling slightly. “I just… well, they’re sensitive. Not used to having anyone but me touch them.”
“Oh.” Dean withdrew his hand. “Sorry.”
You bit your lip before taking the tip of your right wing in your hand. You held it out to Dean, offering him one of the less sensitive areas. You didn’t want to burn what little bridge the two of you now had between yourselves.
Dean looked down and slowly ran his index finger over the feather. “Soft,” he said under his breath.
Sam reappeared in the doorway at that moment. “Y/N, are you okay?”
You nodded, watching Dean’s eyes trail over your feathers, index finger stroking gently.
Sam watched his brother. “Y/N was just getting ready to leave.”
Dean made a noncommittal noise, his eyes and finger never leaving your wing.
Okay okay, I won't answer all the anons I got because thatd be too much explaining but! I'm not hating on Paulinho, I'm hating on the board for signing someone like him when we don't need him at our club. He's not on our level. I talked to Gosia about the tweets, I apologize for posting that picture but I reblogged the fact that its indeed fake. That is all. xx
