Star Wars Rebels One Shots

Sick Day

A young boy walked through the halls of the Ghost, wondering where the pilot and droid was. He knew Kanan and Sabine were out walking the plains of Lothal. Zeb was sleeping, still.

"Hera? Chop?" He called out. He listened for a moment, hearing a small noise coming from the room the pilot and his master shared. He walked over, and knocked on the door.

"Come-" the voice stopped to cough a few times then spoke again, "in..." Ezra opened the door, seeing the pilot laying in bed with a few blankets wrapped around her. Her face was a little red, and she was breathing heavily.

"Hey, you okay?" Ezra asked. Hera gave a small and weak smile, as she responded,

"Yeah, just a little sick..." the woman replied. Ezra nodded and sat on the bed besides her. She slowly lifted her arm up and placed it on his shoulder.

"Surprised Sabine and Kanan left, they would want to take care of you." Ezra stated.

"I told Kanan to take her out, I don't want them worrying." Hera responded. She coughed again and Ezra waited for her coughing fit to end before he spoke.

"You need anything?" He asked.

"Rest."

"Oh, sorry! I'll let you sleep." He exclaimed.

"It's alright, just try not to fight with Zeb too much...I have a splitting headache." Hera mentioned. "And don't turn Chopper on." The last part was more stern, and Ezra understood the droid would either be trouble or be annoying Hera making sure she was okay.

"Got it, hope you feel better." Ezra replied. Hera smiled as the boy walked out, coughing again afterwords.

Kanan and Sabine boarded the ramp of the Ghost and Kanan looked at Sabine.

"Remember, Hera needs rest. Don't go in and check on her too much. I'll be in with her for a couple minutes and later you can go in too. Okay?" He told the girl for the thousandth time. The girl smiled and nodded.

"Yes sir." She replied in a sarcastic tone, making Kanan smile.

"See ya around." Kanan said walking into the hall where the cabin's were. He walked over to the room he shared with Hera and knocked, but no one answered. He opened the door and quietly stepped in. He smiled seeing his beloved sound asleep. He walked towards her and sat besides her, gently rubbing his hand over her lekku. She smiled in her sleep, with her bright red face and tired eyes, even when they were closed. Kanan still thought she was beautiful. He kept stroking her lekku for a few moments and when he stopped to peck a kiss on her forehead she woke up.

"Hey..." she muttered. He smiled as she opened her eyes.

"Hey, how you feeling??" He asked, placing a hand in hers.

"Better than last night."she answered, he nodded remembering how hard last night was for her. She was burning up, coughing, and felt nauseous.

"Good. You still feeling nauseous?" He continued. She shook her head.

"No, it came back earlier, but it didn't last long. I did get a headache though...." she responded. He nodded and kissed her forehead like he wanted to. She smiled brighter and moved around to get comfortable again. Kanan placed a hand on her forehead, and she was still burning up.

"You want some water or anything to help you cool off?" He asked. She nodded.

"Can you wet a cloth so I can put it on my forehead? It'll definitely help..." she stated. He nodded and smiled down at her. She closed her eyes and he walked out of the room and into the refresher. He grabbed a cloth and ran cold water over it. He drained the excess and walked back into the room. He sat back next to Hera and placed the cloth on her forehead. She had already fallen asleep and he smiled again at her.

"Goodnight."he whispered kissing her cheek.

"Night love."
