"It's me," Hera held the child close, "it's okay it's momma..."

Jacen hiccuped, crying onto Hera's chest. Sabine stood at the doorway, breathless,

"I..." she started, but didn't know what to say. Hera looked over, still rocking her child,

"It's okay," Hera replied, "I'll come find you soon."

Sabine nodded, as the door closed behind her. Jacen sniffled, still crying a little,

"Momma..." he whimpered.

"I know..." Hera looked at the weapon on the floor, "just relax. We can talk about it later."

Jacen nodded, snuggling closer to her. She kissed the top of his head, unable to take her eyes off of Ezra's lightsaber.

"Want to talk about it?" Hera asked her son the next morning, as she sat next to him on the couch. He looked to her, clutching the tooka plushie.

He nodded a little, sniffling. Hera smiled softly,

"Alright, take your time," she kissed his forehead, "I'm right here."

Jacen looked up to her, reaching for her, "Cuddle?"

She nodded, picking him up and placing him on her lap and holding him close,

"Where'd you find that?" She asked him, referring to Ezra's saber.

Jacen frowned, sniffling, "Don't be mad momma!"

Hera rubbed his back, "I'm not mad, baby. I promise you. And I promise I won't get mad."

Sabine watched in silence from Zeb's chair, holding Ezra's weapon close.

"I thought if I hid Uncle Kallus' jacket they wouldn't go..." he explained, "I was trying to hide it in Sabbie's room."

"And that's where you found it?" Hera asked softly.

"It fell on the ground..." he told her, "I was gonna put it away but when I touched it...." he paused, whimpering. Hera rocked him a little,

"Okay, okay..." she cooed him, "it's alright now..."

"I don't understand momma..."

"It's a lot to understand baby," she told him, "I don't understand it either."

Sabine sat forwards, sharing a look with Hera. The twi'lek sighed, nodding,

"Jacen," she started, as the child looked up to her, "what did you see when you touched the lightsaber?"

"Lightsaber?" He asked, looking back to his mother, "is that the thingy...?"

Hera nodded, kissing his forehead, "It is..."

Jacen nodded looking back to Sabine, "I don't know what it was..."

Sabine stood up, going over to the holotable and turning it on, pulling up an image of Ezra.

"Him..." she pointed at the picture, "did you see him..?" Her voice cracked.

He looked at the picture for a few minutes, "I don't know..."

Hera looked to Sabine sadly, then back to her son, "Were there any people you saw?"

He nodded, "Yeah..."

"Can you describe them?" Sabine questioned.

"One of them was blue..." he told them, "he had red eyes too."
