General Skywalker walked into the briefing room where you and the squad were waiting. You all had just come back from a week long mission, so you were tired. Of course you didn’t do much on the field, but having to do repairs to the ships and equipment was tiring also. You sat in one of the chairs as Rex stood behind you. His helmet was on the table in front of you and you observed the multiple tally marks accenting it.
“Alright, team, I know we’ve had a long week. I think you’ll be happy to know that we’re finally getting a break.”
Once he said that, the boys groaned and murmured happily. Anakin chuckled and waved his hand lightly.
“Okay, okay, make sure you’re ready. We’ll be landing in Naboo soon. I’m sure the people would accommodate you ‘cause your soldiers, but make sure you have some credits just in case.”
Everyone dispersed, but you stayed seated and Rex was still in his place behind you. Once everyone had left the room, Rex crouched to meet your eyes with a small smile.
“You finally get to see D/n.”
You nodded, cupping his face gently. It had been two weeks since you told Rex about her and you have yet to let the others know. He hummed before standing up and holding out his hand to you.
“Let’s go get ready.”
You smirked gently before taking it and he pulled up before bringing you flush against his armored chest. You let out a small giggle before he placed a hand on the back of your neck then kissed you tenderly.
You pulled away before whispering, “Is this just a ruse to get me out of my uniform?”
He chuckled while caressing your face, “No. I’d rather get to that in a place like Naboo.”
“You, Captain, don’t know life with a child.” You scoffed, “We wouldn’t find any time to do such acts.”
You pushed him away from you lightly before heading out of the briefing room and to your quarters.
*******
The cruiser landed at a small drop off near the edge of town and the clones filed out, breathing in the untainted air of Naboo. Many of the places they’d go would be plagued with the smell of burning metal and oil, so it was nice to be surrounded by fresher air. Rex led his men down the platform into the hangar with you and General Skywalker by his side. Senator Amidala was waiting with a few other people just outside of the hangar to greet the 501st.
“General Skywalker, Captain Rex, we are very happy to see you’ve gotten to Naboo in one piece.” Senator Amidala greeted with a smile.
“Thank you for letting us stay.” Anakin smiled back, a small glint in his eyes.
You looked at Rex with knowing eyes as he chuckled lightly.
“Y/n, it’s wonderful to see you again.” Padmé smiled and you hugged her gently.
“It has been a long time. Last time I was here, you were off-world. Coruscant I presume?”
“Most likely.” She laughed before turning to the squadron.
“We have multiple skriffs that are here to take you to the pavilion you’ll all be staying at.”
“Thank you, Senator. We are forever grateful.” Rex stated with a small bow of his head.
“Y/n, there’s a personal speeder here to-”
“MOMMY!”
Everyone was caught by surprise when a small voice filled the hangar. You turned, laughed, then dropped your bag to hug the small girl rushing to you. The others of the 501st had bewildered expressions on their faces when they looked at you and the girl.
“Hello, my sweet girl!”
“I missed you, mommy!”
You pulled away and cupped her face, “I missed you too.”
“Rové said you were visiting, I’m so excited!”
“So am I, my love.” You sighed, fixing her hair, “I want to introduce you to some people before we head to the lake, alright?”
She nodded and gripped your hand as you led her over to where Rex and his squad were standing. Rex smiled gently as she looked at all of them, slight confusion on her face.
“Mommy… they have the same face…” D/n whispered, looking up at you.
“Remember, I told you that they’re clones.”
“Clones all look the same?”
“Yes, but they’re very different. They don’t act the same.”
“So… they’re still like us?” She wondered.
“Very much so.” You smiled, looking towards Rex, “This is the Captain of the 501st legion: Rex.”
Rex crouched down to look at her with gentle eyes, “I’ve heard a bit about you.”
She cowered gently behind you, but you laughed, “It’s alright…”
“Wait, you knew?” Fives asked incredulously, which caused Echo to nudge him.
“I found out recently.” Rex murmured, still looking at D/n, “It’s okay, we’ve been keeping your mother safe.”
“Thank you.” She whispered, shyly.
You crouched down and held her shoulders while looking at Rex, “We should let them go to the pavilion to settle down. We’ll go visit them before dinner. Is that alright?”
She nodded and held out her arms, which signified that she wanted to be picked up. You nodded before doing so and looking at Rex and the others.
“We’ll see you all tonight.”
Rex nodded, hating watching you leave, but knowing you needed time with D/n.
*******
You made your way through the pavilion, holding onto your daughter's hand as she babbled about who knows what. You smiled as you watched her, trying to relish your time with her before you have to leave again. Chatter was starting to get louder as you approached the lounge-like balcony where most of the clones were relaxing. Many were seated at a table where food was being served while others stood against the stone railing and talked. Some were also sitting or laying on the loveseats, trying to relax. All of them were out of their armor and in their blacks or wearing attire provided to them by the handmaidens. Most of them greeted you, but you were still looking around trying to find Rex.
“Don’t worry, Y/n. He’ll be here.” Kix laughed as he saw your wandering eyes, then he looked down to your daughter, “Hello, there. I’m Kix.”
“Do you fight like the others?” D/n wondered.
“Yeah, but I’m also a medic. I take care of my brothers when they get injured.”
“You have a lot of brothers.”
Kix chuckled with a nod, “Yeah, and unfortunately, they get hurt a lot.”
She giggled at his comment, which caused you to smile.
“You must have fun being the only kid your mom has.”
“Not really,” D/n shrugged, “It gets lonely when mommy goes away.”
You looked down at her with sad eyes, but then Kix offered to pick her up which she accepted.
“C’mon, let’s go meet the others.” He grinned while walking over to Echo and Fives who were talking with Dogma. You followed hesitantly, still wondering where Rex was.
“Well, hello!” Fives greeted excitedly, “You’re mini Y/n!”
“No I’m not! I’m D/n!”
Echo looked at her closely, “I don't know… maybe you’re a clone of her. The Kaminoans must be working on a new project.”
D/n groaned dramatically which caused them to laugh. They introduced themselves, then Dogma looked at her with no reaction or comments. She looked back at him, squinting gently before speaking.
“Do you like royal cherries?”
Dogma was taken by surprise before laughing, “Haven’t tried them before.”
Hardcase walked over with Tup, greeting you and their brothers then averting their attention to D/n. She looked at them, still in Kix’s arms. She looked at Hardcase, then Tup.
“Why do you have a teardrop under your eye?” She wondered, reaching out and trying to wipe it away, “It’s not going away.”
Tup stood there awkwardly, but Fives only laughed.
“It’s a tattoo. See, Dogma has one, and I have one. So does Hardcase.”
They continued to talk and introduce themselves, but you were distracted by the thought of Rex not being there. He was so excited to see D/n, now you didn’t understand why he wasn’t there.
“Mommy?”
You turned to D/n, who was now in Dogma’s arms, “Yes, my dear?”
“Can I show them the lanterns? Near the square?”
You nodded, looking to Kix to see if that’s okay. He nodded with a smile before following his brothers, who formed a protective wall around D/n as she walked with them to the lanterns. You then turned to look over the lake, leaning against the stone rail. Footsteps approached behind you, which caused you to turn your head slightly. Jesse took a place beside you and sighed.
“It’s beautiful.”
You nodded, still distracted. Jesse looked at you with a smirk before shaking his head.
“He’s coming out soon. Did the boys take D/n?”
“She wanted to show them the lanterns near the square. It’s one of her favorite places other than the royal cherry orchard.” You explained.
“Well, they better get back soon.”
“Why?”
“Don’t worry.” Jesse smiled before going towards the table to get a drink.
After a few minutes, there was a tap on your shoulder, so you turned to see Rex holding D/n.
“There you are. Where are the boys?” You asked while taking D/n into your arms.
“Fives got this great idea of renting a boat and going on the lake.”
“Should we stay and time how fast they all fall in?” You laughed, but Rex shook his head.
“Not today. I have something to show the both of you.”
You furrowed your brows before following him through the corridors of the pavilion vacation home. Rex was giving D/n a piggyback ride, which caused her to giggle and laugh due to him pretending to be a bantha. He made silly noises just so she would be smiling all the way to your destination. You all arrived at a pair of double doors and Rex placed D/n down before pushing them open. You stood in shock once you saw the room. It was large with flowers decorating it, a table accented with food, and multiple different furniture pieces with decorative and comfortable pillows.
“Rex…” You whispered as he held out his hand to you. You took it graciously, still looking around, “What…?”
“I wanted this stay to be special for you and D/n.”
D/n hopped onto the large bed with a giggle, seeing a stuffed mudhorn plushie, “This is so cute!”
“It’s yours.” Rex smiled before sitting on the bed with her.
“Really?”
“Of course.” He caressed her cheek.
D/n held it tight before looking up at him, “Does… does my mommy have to go back with you?”
Rex sighed with a sad nod, “Yeah… I wish she didn’t, but she has to so you’ll be safe.”
“Will you… will you take care of her?”
“I would give my life for her… and for you.”
“Why?”
“Because… I care about your mother a lot. After the war, I wish to stay with her and take care of the both of you.”
“Like… like a father? Or a husband to my mommy?”
Rex managed a small chuckle, cupping her face, “Yes, ad’ika, very much so. Would you like that?”
D/n nodded before hopping into his lap and hugging him tight. He was caught by surprise, but hugged her back tightly. You grinned, relishing this moment and wishing it could last forever.
