Gif by @wilsonsamt
Requested by my lovely bestie @itsjml and our combined thirst for Kallus and them mutton chopsssss. 🤤
Warnings: (18+) angst, fluff, mention of canon death, kissing, face sitting, PinV unprotected, biting, creampie, swearing.
Pairing: Alexsandr Kallus × F!Reader.
Summary: Takes Place during Zero Hour Part 1 & 2 (,S3:E21&22 of Rebels). You’re an Ex ISB officer who formed a romantic relationship with Kallus and desperately tried to find ways to help him escape the Empire ever since he assisted in your own liberation. He sacrificed leaving with you to cover your trail behind Imperial lines to make it harder for Thrawn to track. You never lost hope that your paths would cross again. After being recruited by a fortifying rebel cell, you found out he was -in fact- Fulcrum. It felt like fate or destiny brought him back to you.

Falling for you🌠
Pairing: Tech x F!Reader
Warnings: fluff, angst, mutual pining, injury from slipping/falling/low voltage electrocution, general awkwardness, insecure, comfort and reassurance, a couple swear words, a kiss.
Summary: You’re new to the Bad Batch crew and quite eager to prove your worth. Unfortunately, you are prone to mistakes and you’ve had your fair share of accidents while being in their presence. Nothing life-threatening or detrimental, but enough for you question your position in the group.

Pairing: Tech x F!Reader x Crosshair
Warnings: (18+) smut, jealousy, brotherly fighting, DP, oral M receiving/ cum play, voyeurism, teeny exhibition kink, slight cuckold situation, cursing, creampie.
Summary: You’ve been dating Tech for a few months after meeting The Bad Batch on Ord Mantell. It’s quite liberating to be with someone so open to new experiences in the name of research. Most of which have been very rewarding. You’ve never been with anyone who’s bothered to have the patience. However, all that changes when you overhear how Crosshair has really felt about you all this time.

Pairing: Tech x F!Reader
Warnings:  Obviously jealous Hunter, slight caught-in-the-middle situation, fluff, angst, anxious mannerisms, body art, kissing, caresses, close proximity nervousness, a few cuss words, implied relations but nothing too explicitly described. 
Summary: You and Tech have been getting more acquainted lately. Much to the displeasure of Hunter and he isn’t even trying to hide it. You unintentionally exacerbate things within your little triangle when you close the gap between yourself and your goggle-headed admirer by bonding over your favorite hobby. Tech takes it a step further by getting creative and making it a little more personal. After all, what is an artist to do with such a compelling muse, as well as an accompanying canvas, fit and primed for painting. You only hope this enterprise goes off without a hitch.

Incapacitated🤕😰
Not so little HC by me. I am sorry in advance for the length. I have big thoughts.
I've seen people pretty open on here about their female difficulties. I was diagnosed with sciatic endometriosis at a pretty young age and it's forced me to adapt to randomly passing out due to pain, weak knees and anaemia. It's happened many times and in front of an array of people so I decided to make little HC senarios on how TBB would react to their significant other passing out in front of them for seemingly no reason that can be diagnosed on the surface. I wanted to have each of their reactions without the obligation of creating a whole plot with a story. I just need this angst and fluffy comfort rn okay? 🥺
Pairing: Each of TBB x Female SO
Omega is included and reader is her caretaker but not dating anyone in TBB for that particular HC.
Warnings: passing out, talk of menstrual cramps, blood - visible spotting, nursing back to health, worry, angst, swearing, confusion, panic. 🙏
Hunter🧐

He would have a hunch that something is about to happen because your scent has been off all night. Looking at the date he remembers what's to come around the same time every month. He'll be concerned with your tossing and turning but doesn't interfere with your restless slumber. With everyone else already asleep he wouldn't want to startle you.

Finally, after hours of monitoring from afar during his shift to keep the Marauder on course, you stroll out from under your covers, drenched in sweat and desperately trying to make your way to the refresher. The color in your face is irregular, washed-out. Hair is plastered to your sickly face. Now that you're in his presence he is hit by the overwhelming aroma of raw, acrid air. The scent was festering.

He can feel your body trembling through the floor of the interior hull. Your fragile footfalls become more determined to compensate for your lack of balance, growing into loud stomps. You feel your concentration fleeting, mindlessly trying to move your body forward through muscle memory like you're on autopilot. Hunter sees you struggling and takes a couple steps in your direction before you drop to the ground.

He's at your side in an instant. He was quick enough to catch you before your head sustained any damage. He knows you get bad cramps but he's never seen you in such a perilous condition before. Your skin is hot to the touch as he feels for your pulse. It's rapid, your breathing is labored as your heart tries to overwork itself to pump blood through the rest of your extremities. You're lifeless in his arms. Everyone else is asleep and he can't find the breath in his lungs to call out. "Ow.. FUCK!" you gasp. The pain was enough of a brutal surprise that you came-to in his arms.

"Hunter? What happened? I was just on my way to- oh, goddamn it, no." you mumble the last phrase under your breath. The familiar stiffness of clotted blood staining your clothes is all you can focus on. You're overwhelmingly embarrassed. It's no doubt you're aware that he can smell you, let alone see you. You push yourself out of Hunter's arms, turning to face him directly, hiding your crimson spot from his view as best as you can before forcing yourself to your feet.

"I-I'm fine. Really. I can make it the rest of the way." You lift your foot to take a step but it feels like you're wading through mud. Your body threatens to fail you once again but Hunter catches you just in time. "You're not fine at all. Let me help you in there-" He offers, only you hope he hasn't noticed the mess forming in your garments. "No!" you cut him off. "I can do it myself!" Why did he have to see you like this? Degraded, filthy and unnecessarily ashamed for not properly preparing yourself before going to sleep. You should have known it was coming. How could you have been so negligent?

"No, you can't. Let me help. If you think I can't handle a little blood you really don't know who you're dealing with. This is no different than dressing a wound on the battlefield. And I can assure you there is much more blood there. So please, take my hand" he holds it out while looking at you with gentle, understanding eyes.

No use hiding anymore. Hunter helps you to your feet and into the refresher. He starts the shower for you and leaves for a moment while the temperature climbs to retrieve a fresh set of your clean clothes. Once returned, he helps you out of your soiled pajamas and into the warm stream of water, relieving yourself of all the sanguineous remnants as well as the lingering discomfort. Once cleaned, he dresses you with proper protection and leads you back to bed with a glass of water and a few painkillers. Soon you're back to sleep, wondering why you were so embarrassed in the first place.

Tech⚕️
Gif by @nahoney22

You both were on opposite sides of the ship making various adjustments to the exterior of the Marauder. Tech is walking you through cleaning off residual carbon scoring from the inside of the durasteel panels without disrupting the wiring beneath it. It's a steady conversation that slowly dwindles until you're no longer responding. He tries time and time again to hail you on the comm and receives nothing. His worry got the best of him as he moves to your position.

There you are, lying belly-up in the dirt like bloated roadkill. He hurriedly ran to you while pulling his scanner out, prepared to get to the bottom of what caused you to faint. The sun was beating down relentlessly on your face. A thick bead of sweat has saturated your brow and a sore knot is forming at the back of your head from the trauma it sustained with the unforgiving ground. Your breathing is labored, a highlight to your unhealthy state. At first he assumes your episode is from the heat. Calm and full of composure, Tech immediately pulls you into his arms and carries you back inside the Marauder to bring your core temperature back down to safer levels.

Wrecker is the first to voice his concern upon your joined entry but not even his booming voice was enough to wake you. "Whoa! What happened?! Is she okay?"

Tech gently lays you down on the cold floor of the hull to properly examine you. "She is merely unconscious." he responds confidently while opening your mouth to ensure your airways aren't obstructed. He uses a small flashlight to observe your pupils and confirms his diagnosis. "Take her back to my bunk. She needs to sleep this off. Speaking of, what's the date- Oh..." Tech looks at the calendar full of grave concern. "I'll prepare some medicine as well. She's never had them this bad." He shakes his head in defeat realizing this was intense heat exhaustion brought on by the rapid thinning of your blood, exacerbated by it's increasing exit from your body. He was silently brainstorming ideas in ways to prevent an occurrence like this from happening to you again.

"Had what this bad?" Wrecker questions, still completely oblivious.

"Menstrual cramps. Now please, Wrecker, take her to my bunk, quickly. She needs painkillers, hydration and most importantly, rest."

Tech hands you over to him with complete and total regard for the condition of your cranium, cradeling you intently and full of protective responsibility. "Watch her head. She collapsed to the ground outside and I am not certain how violent the impact was." Wrecker nods, fulfilling the request while Tech went for the first aid supplies which consisted of a higher grade pain relieving shot, heating pad and an intravenous apparatus to regulate your fluid intake until you wake up. The way he went so logically about your condition was a massive testament to his caregiving prowess. He didn't panic, his mind didn't go straight to irrationalities, the only thing at the forefront of his consciousness was your health and safety.

• • •

"Hey there sleepyhead. How are you feeling?" Tech graces you with his presence as soon as you open your eyes. He's dabbing you with a wet cloth to keep your sweating at bay. Your head is pounding, you feel weak and lethargic, slowly realizing you're in his bunk.

"How- uhm... What happened?" Trying to sit up, Tech pushes you back into bed, tucking you in.

"You tell me. I've seen you nurse these cramps of yours before, but this is unprecedented. I scanned your vitals and they indicated a massive amount of destructive neurological discomfort centering from your pelvic region downward. I would suggest that you stay in bed for the rest of the day. No, indefinitely, until these spasms subside. Do I make myself clear?" His strict orders were completely derivative of his concern for you. "You should have told me you were feeling out of sorts. I wouldn't have brought you outside..." A mask of guilt was forming across his handsome face.

"They honestly caught me by surprise, completely unexpected, so please don't blame yourself. I'm so sorry to worry you." Your chest felt tight as you tried to finish your thought.

"Nonsense. I'm just glad you're okay." Tech responds as he lifts your joined hands to kiss your knuckles. You smiled while nuzzling your head into his lap. Tech reciprocated by soothing you back to sleep in a much more welcoming fashion than you had fallen into it previously, making sure to be mindful of the bruise at the back of your head. He assured you that he would never leave your side in case another painful wave were to come at any point through the rest of the day.

Crosshair🙄
Gif by @kybacrystal

He's been getting under your skin all day. His wise cracks and insensitive humor were enough to already make your blood boil. You can't even remember what it was you were initially bickering over. At this point all you wanted was to get as far away from him and the ship as fast as possible. You felt a sting of pain emerge from the pit of your gut radiating down to your knees. Trying to push through it, you speed walk to the tree line. The last thing you wanted was to give him any more reason to prod at you.

You can faintly hear Crosshair call your name as you push yourself into the thicket. It's getting harder to walk, the pain in your legs is throbbing down to your feet. You brace yourself against a tree before continuing on but your spasms won't let you go without a fight. Using your upper body strength, you pull yourself back up and inch further into the forest. You can hear the twigs snapping underneath Crosshair's footfalls, signifying that he is closing in on you. Even with the tree branches blocking your own vision, you knew that he could pick you out of the entire wilderness with ease.

You quickly find that you're over exerting yourself, your breathing becomes strained and you're suffering from tunnel vision. If you concentrate hard enough you can see stars fading in and out of your peripherals. Your irrational embarrassment about Crosshair seeing you in such an indecent state forced you to pursue a journey deeper into the woods despite your growing discomfort. Unexpectedly, you fall to the ground with nothing to brace yourself but the velvet moss atop a few boulders resting in a sunken patch of soil.

Crosshair finally catches up to you and spots your lifeless body facedown amongst the brush. "Alright, stop faking it. This might work on your other boyfriends, but if this is a ploy for me to be nice, I am not convinced in the slightest."

No response.

"Hey! I am taking to you. I said get up!" Crosshair nudges you with the butt of his gun, he seemed to have never let that thing go. Perhaps that's what you were arguing about after all.

Still, absolutely nothing.

"I'm going to leave you out here if you don't get up. Right. Now." He has a worried tone in his voice but it's disguised with anger. He secretly hopes you're not hurt but he doesn't want his inflated ego driven façade to crumble. But you're dead to this world, at least for the time being.

Crosshair finally drops to his knees and flips you over to see your face. You're covered in dirt, a bruise forming on the bridge of your nose with a couple drops of blood threatening to fall from your nostrils. Your anemia made the tissue beneath your skin very fragile. It's really not as bad as it looks but he doesn't know that. He feels terrible for thinking this was pretend. Perhaps he would do something so dramatic, but he wouldn't expect it from you.

He slings his rifle around his back in order to tend to you more completely. Pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket, he delicately dabs away your nose bleed and moves the hair out of the way of your face. He is wrought with fear and remorse when he catches a glimpse of your ghastly complexion. Crosshair curses himself for being so ignorant, and slowly hoists you into his arms to carry you back to the Marauder. His mind races back to everything he said to you in the heat of the moment, completely regretting all of it. All he wanted was for you to wake up and be okay.

• • •

You open your eyes to the gentle rhythm of his steps, pain coursing through your entire body, pulsing with each placement of his footing. You groan harshly and he acknowledges your consciousness by placing a soft kiss at the top of your head, signifying his presence.

"You passed out in the forest. I am here. I am so sorry. Please.. Forgive me... " Good thing your ear is resting against Crosshair's chest as he carries you inside because he was speaking so softly you wouldn't have been able to hear him. You're just happy to be in his embrace and not fighting anymore.

He places you on his bunk and immediately goes to find Tech to get assistance in relieving your pain. You're slowly slipping in and out of consciousness with Crosshair frantically explaining to Tech what happened, wondering if he can do anything to help. He can be hard to deal with sometimes but you know he loves you.

Echo😨

The two of you were having a simple maintenance day by cleaning up around the ship and giving Tech a break by doing inventory. Once everything else was in order you found yourself helping Echo conduct adjustments his prosthetics. You've been having slight cramps for the past few hours but they've been quite manageable. But finally feeling your body go stagnant, it was as if it was a call to magnify your pain. With Echo's prosthetic leg settled onto your lap, you pause your polishing to rest your head on the cold metal.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" Echo asks, his flesh hand finding its way to caress your back, lightly stroking it to ease your growing discomfort. Echo is no stranger to muscle spasms. It pained him to see you suffering the same fate. "Yeah, I'm fine. I already took medicine a few hours ago. I just... cramps started hitting me bad all of a sudden. It's nothing to worry about. I think I just need to get some water" You responded.

As soon as you tried to bring yourself to your feet your head felt lighter than air. You can't focus on anything due to your blurred vision. You got up way too fast and your body hasn't acclimated properly yet. The pain is growing stronger, agonizing as you collapse at echo's feet, completely overwhelmed.

"Oh shit!" Echo is quick to your side despite his compromised position on his bunk. He unfurls your contorted body and lays you flat on the floor to get a better look at you. He's painstakingly distraught, but that doesn't break his concentration from trying to help you as best as he can. His memory immediately reverts back to his medical guide book he would read in his downtime before becoming an ARC trooper. Particularly the ABCs in performing CPR.

He immediately took note of your airflow and breathing. Granted, it is quite labored but nothing out of the ordinary. He finds your pulse and realizes it's much fainter than it should be. Your fingers are stiff and frigid as he realizes you have incredibly poor circulation. Echo finds that he has leftover iron capsules on hand that Tech prescribed to him after he was rescued from Skako Minor. Taking his pillow off of his bunk, he lifts your head gently to cushion you from the floor of the hull before rummaging through his belongings to locate the bottle of iron capsules as well as acquiring his canteen of fresh water.

• • •

He doesn't force you into consciousness. He quietly waits for your body to slowly calibrate itself. You wake up to his handsome face eclipsing the fluorescent lights from stinging your eyes. "You scared me for a second there. Thought I lost ya... Here. Take this." Echo holds his hand out to give you a couple pills.

"No no no, I can't take more pain medicine yet. It hasn't been 6 hours-"

"It's not pain medicine. They are vitamins. Iron to be exact. I'll help with your circulation." he nods at you in affirmation while dropping the capsules into your palm. He is already prepared with water for you to wash them down.

"Looks like I'm helping you with adjustments now aren't I? You can hold on to those iron caps too. You seem to need them more than me " Echo smiles at you before helping you up into his bunk so that you may rest more comfortably, surrounded by his scent.

"Echo? Can... you lay down with me?" You beg, eyes full of love. How could he possibly deny you?

"Only because you asked so nicely. But please, if my prosthetics start to hurt you, let me know." With you in this condition the last thing he would want is to cause you any more unnecessary harm.

"You could never hurt me Echo. Come lay down." He complies and the two of you sleep together for the remainder of the night having felt extremely accomplished with the condition of the ship, as well as each other's well-being.

Wrecker🥺
Gif by @amisdalas

Wrecker noticed you weren't feeling well and he tried to make you smile as much as he could. He loved to attack you by pretending to be a tickle monster. The two of you would play fight for hours on end in his bunk, never stopping for a time out. All the activity really did have you feeling much better. That was of course until your aches came back with a vengeance. In the middle of Wrecker's vigorous tickles, you slip out of consciousness in a frightfully unexpected way. The pain that shot through you, you couldn't have possibly prepared for it. Within seconds you were absent in mind, body and soul.

Wrecker grunts in confusion, jostling you just a little bit to see if he can elicit a response. You're out cold. "What... What did I do?! TECH! COME QUICK!" Poor Wrecker thinks he hurt you but little does he know that he had nothing to do with your incapacitation. Tech enters the room and immediately asks what happened. "I-I don't know! We were just playing and I was tickling her and then she just... I don't know... "

"Wrecker, I promise you, you didn't hurt her." Tech says, consoling him. "Has she been complaining of cramps or pain at all today?"

"Yeah she-" he sniffles before clearing his throat, "she said her tummy hurt and I tried to make her feel better but now I think I made it worse... Is she going to be okay?" He asks while wiping tears from his eyes.

"On the contrary." Tech replies, putting Wrecker at ease. "Your playful distraction kept her pain at bay for most of it's duration. It is actually quite a thoughtful tactic. I guarantee you she appreciates your efforts." Tech smiles, giving Wrecker an encouraging pat on the back. "Just, with certain spasms stemming so suddenly, especially from someone with her condition, she has a tendency to go into shock. It's her body's defense mechanism in order to ride out the discomfort. I'll be back with some painkillers." Tech's logical attributes worked wonders to ease the irrational thoughts brewing in Wrecker's gentle mind.

• • •

Once Tech is back with medicine, Wrecker tucks you into his bunk and snuggles Lula up beside your head. The softness of the plushie rubbing against your cheek was a welcoming gift to be woken up to. You faintly see Tech's silhouette enter the room from your peripherals but you can't focus on anyone else just yet.

"Take it easy. Tech is here with medicine." Wrecker's voice is shaken as he speaks. You lock eyes with the massive clone and see that his are slightly bloodshot and swollen.

"Oh you poor thing... Did I scare you? I'm so sorry..." Your frantic apologies filled the room but they would not stand for it.

"Yes, you gave him quite the scare. But you needn't apologize. These things happen and I'm glad we're here to help you. Isn't that right, Wrecker?" Tech teases.

"I thought I hurt you..." He explains, wrought with worry.

"You had nothing to do with this. I promise. I'll be fine." You tell him while caressing his cheek. Now here you are consoling him instead of the other way around. Tech leaves the two of you to enjoy each other's company after administering your medicine. Wrecker lulls you to sleep by softly telling you silly jokes, a worthy adaptation to still have fun with you without triggering a harmful response. The last thing you remember before falling back to sleep was his adorable giggle, coupled with him softly tracing Lula's arm across your cheek.

Omega👩‍⚕️
Gif by @captainrexs

Omega had a idea that's something was wrong with you because you weren't as chipper as you typically are and she wasn't going to hide her blatant concern.

"You're not feeling well today, are you?" She inquires while her tiny hand reaching up to your forehead, seemingly checking your temperature.

"You noticed that, huh? Smart cookie." you tell her while chuckling to yourself. "You would be correct. However, I'm not sick in the sense that you're thinking."

"It's your period, isn't it?" Her deadpan respond caught you completely off guard. She was so young! Did she already know about all that?

"How do you know about that?" She laughs at your surprise.

"I was a medical assistant, remember? It would be counterproductive if I only knew about one side of the human organ systems." her adorable voice tells you matter of factly. Omega had such a way of making things seem so obvious that you feel silly that you didn't think of that before. For her age she really contained a massive amount of intelligence as well as common sense combined with her immaculate intuition.

"You are absolutely right. You never cease to surprise me, Omega." while struggling to finish your phrase, you could feel your spine tighten with every second that passed by. You let out a few distressed groans as you doubled over in agony, supporting yourself with your palms on your knees.

"You need to sit down! Get off your feet! You might pass out!" Omega is frantically trying to guide you up into her bedroom fashioned out of the gunners mount. It's her only place of comfort and solace and she wants to bring you into a much better environment. She climbs the steps and begins pulling you in with her. Despite her age and stature, she really is quite strong. She manages to help you inside only for you to collapse onto her cloud of pillows and blankets.

• • •

You don't know long you were out. It must have been a while because the sun was already setting and the lighting was dim in her room. You wake up to the sound of her voice saying "No! I'm staying until she wakes up!" Slowly opening your eyes, you see that everyone, including Omega, is at the foot of the gunners mount entrance, patiently waiting for you to awaken.

"What did I miss?" You laugh nervously.

"She's awake!" Omega exclaims before throwing herself at you for a hug.

"You had us worried for a moment there." Hunter tells you, smiling. "Luckily, Dr. Omega here knew exactly what to do and wouldn't leave your side for a second."

"Is that true?" You ask, clutching your hands to your heart.

"Of course it is." She confirms while placing Lula thoughtfully in your arms. "Because I know you would do the same for me!"

She insisted that she not leave your side for the rest of the night and Hunter couldn't possibly deny that. The two of you relaxed underneath her twinkly lights, talking about your favorite creatures you've encountered on different planets and what each one would be like to have as a pet. Agreeing to watch this unique little girl really brought out a wonderful motherhood connection in you that was dormant until she entered your life.

As You Wish

To commemorate 6 years and counting with my wonderful husband, I painted us. I didn't want to attempt something this challenging without practicing as much as I possibly could beforehand. Painting The Dad Bad Batch these past few months have really broadened my capabilities and gave me the confidence to tackle such a piece. I was originally wanting to attempt to Paint Boba in this scene below, using it as a reference, but my husband suggested that I use his color scheme for the Mandalorian Armor we are already making together. So I figured if I'm already inserting him into this art, I might as well insert myself.

I have really long hair so I fashioned it in one of Padme's hairstyles. I also styled my top and head accessories to match his armor. We will be getting married with our helmets to share a Keldabe Kiss at the altar before we remove them from each other and I can't contain my excitement.

I worked really hard on this and we want to use it as our registry photo at the ceremony. 😖🥺 I love my Mandalorian Husband.

I'll tag some of my fellow mutuals who I think would appreciate this. Some we've only spoken in passing and I love your art. Some of you I've been keeping up to date with the progress for weeks now. Tysm for your encouraging words. You know who you are. @schlorbe @justalittlecloud @allhailkingboba @archisstically-done @by-the-primes @buffnatalieportman @captxin-rex @fangirl-goes-nova @gospelofme @hockeyjedi13 @itsjml @kratosfan6632466 @lydiag77 @latenightsthoughtsnstuff @nahoney22 @naboosunset @only-a-simp-deals-in-absolutes @pala-din-djarin @radbatch @sstarwarsss @whirlybirbs @whatanoof @zabrak-show @echoy-naak @aveskestis @howie-ner-cyare @xsherryberryx

A Weight Off Your Shoulders🌦️

~ 💙 ~

(Top gif by @captainrexs) (Bottom gif by @beanabouttown)

I'm all up in my feels with this one so fair warning beforehand. This is basically a bit of deep and personal therapy that I needed to cope with and I feel like the best way for me to do that is write about it. This is Post-O66 Rex but he's not as old as he is in Rebels. Basically smack-dab between the ages of both gifs above. The second gif implies he has a child by then🙈

Pairing: Post O66 Rex x Jedi Knight Reader
Warnings: Surfacing fears, lingering medical complications, talk of parental death, slight mention of miscarriage, comfort through conflict, breeding kink, PinV unprotected, edging, trying for pregnancy, exhibitionism.
Summary: Rex saved you from definite execution back when things drastically changed. You tried as you might to put your past behind you. Everyone you knew and loved was killed during Order 66 and it was still a painful, festering wound, though slaved by Rex's tender love and devotion to you upon your first interaction. The Republic collapsed as well as the rules and stipulations that went with it. It's been years since you've been on the Imperial radar. Rex wants to settle down. Make a proper life for you. Only your subconscious and underlying medical condition isn't going to let it be that easy.

The sun was setting low on the Sorgan horizon, shining like blaster rays through the clouds. It was going to rain soon, you could smell the sweetness in the air transpiring from the thick foliage. The big, green rock you've grown to call home was a breathable, forested swamp planet located in the Outer Rim Territories; far enough away from any Republic or Imperial radar. You've been here with Rex, Wolffe and Gregor since you convinced them to leave the barren wasteland that is Seelos. Coming here was your best bet at a life. A real life. One where you weren't constantly looking over your shoulder in fear of your identity being revealed to the wrong person. A life where you could live happy and proud like you truly belonged.

For once.

"There you are, my love." Rex's gruff voice sounded off behind you. You felt his strong, muscular arms slither around your waist and pull you in close, careful not to break your gaze from the golden beams of light. He knew how you loved to watch them paint the sky every dusk and dawn, now dulled by the overcast.

"I hope you're hungry. Wolffe and Gregor will be back soon with today's catch. I making your favorite." He nuzzled his face comfortably into your neck and you could feel his warm smile tickle you with light stubble, but the painful dagger of memories still lingered. Even with his intoxicating presence, your mind wandered to years past. You let out an exhausted sigh, and Rex caught on immediately.

You were in town with him earlier today gathering ingredients for the upcoming meal when you noticed Rex's face light up at the sound of little giggles coming through the hustle and bustle of the market. Parents who brought their young ones to experience the diverse sights and smells of the commonplace were casually perusing the stalls while the children congregated in a festive play area. The silence was deafening when you found your home was empty. Not even the sound of Wolffe whittling away at one of his many wooden figurines that graced your fireplace, nor Gregor making the deliciously eccentric flower tea you taught him to make with the nearby flora that grew around your home. The absence of life weighed you down abundantly.

"Hon? Is... everything alright?" Your eyes are still fixed on the horizon, warmth fading with the sunlight when the cloud cover hits perfectly. You shake your head in admittance and finally look down in defeat. The guilt of making him leave Seelos wasn't the only thing weighing on your mind.

"Are you really happy here? With me?" The question hit him like a drop kick to the chest. He would feel insulted if he hadn't been down this road with you before, but that doesn't mean it still didn't hurt. Luckily, his navigation skills were a marvel to be rewarded.

"You already know the answer to that, don't you?" Rex slides one of his large, immovable hands along your body in and upward mission to reach your chin. He firmly grasps it and easily turns your head to look at him, square in his earthy brown eyes. His smile fades at the sight of tears running down your face.

"Hey, come on," he whispers gently, "What's all this now? What's got you so desolate all of a sudden?" He uses his thumb to wipe your tears away faster than more can fall. You can't form words just yet, so you decide to drop your head against his shoulder to hide your shame. The smell of his clean, civilian clothes you both worked together to sew did wonders to calm you even in your immense distress, but it still wasn't enough. You tried to focus on the day you spent with Rex, picking out fabrics, color coordinating them and deciding on where to hem. He was more than happy to be wearing something other than his blacks. And the fact that these were garments woven and stitched by your joined matrimonial hands gave him an overwhelming sense of pride every time he fit them to his body. The leafy chroma hues he settled on suited him well. But even surrounding yourself with the labor of love couldn't break your attention from the lingering devastation.

"Cyar'ika.. you know I can't help you when you don't talk to me. You might have the force driven intuition but I have my limitations." His attempts at humor were usually enough to pull you back down to reality, but it would take a bit more than that. "Tell me what's bothering you. Please?" Rex is putting his foot down. You love that about him. Even when you're wrought with self loathing he still manages to highlight your inherent worth and dignity. You deserve to be heard and you had his undivided attention.

It felt like you had one of the swampy frogs native to the planet in your throat, coating your wind pipe in mucus while impeding your speech. It was hard to let out any sound other than muffled cries and whimpers. Thank the maker for Rex's patience, he held you through every painful wave of your exhausting episode. Periodically he would stroke your hair, pet your back, press his lips against your forehead, anything to assure you he would never leave you to wade these dangerous waters alone. Finally, he soothed you enough for you to speak.

"Don't you ever feel like we're missing something? We have all this space, all this freedom, but who to share it with? Sure, the boys get a kick out of hunting the local game as well as warding off the occasional band of Klatoonians.. " your voice grew hoarse with the next thought forming in your head, "but who will remember us? Remember you?"

"I-uhm..I thought you said you didn't want kids? Is that what you're talking about?" Rex has you caged against his chest now, eyes searching your face, trying desperately to read your expression. He's painfully confused and you have no one but yourself to thank for that. It's no surprise that Rex has always wanted children with you since day one. You've just always found an excuse to postpone their consideration. But his kind and thoughtful nature never pushed the subject onto you. Your word was final in his eyes. Though, in a way, you think he knew you would come around to the idea.

"I know that's what I said. But... I am slowly realizing that I do, but I also don't. Does that make sense?"

"I'm afraid I uh.. don't follow." Rex lowers his head to look past you at the ground. He doesn't want to get his hopes up, but it's obvious he can barely contain his joy at your pending revelation.

"What I mean is," you struggle to find the right words, "I would love to have a child with you. I want to know what they would look like, if they resemble you more than me, watching our son, our daughter grow up..."

"But?" Rex knows you too well. You can't hide a thing from him.

"But.. I am.. terrified." You admit. "I'm terrified I won't be a good mother. That they will be force sensitive and I'll have no choice but to let their abilities fade." Tears are flooding your eyes once again, obstructing your vision. "I don't want them to live with the fear that I did." Your tone is raising to a yell with the growing strain of trying to keep your composure enough to enunciate your final thought.

"But most of all, I am terrified that my condition will prevent me from having them in the first place.. Or that if we try, I will be putting myself or their lives at risk. That my selfish desire will simultaneously give me the gift of life but rip it away from us as well. Thanks to Order 66, I never got as far in my jedi training as I should have. We don't have the Republic's medical equipment just hanging around. No amount of power I possess would be able to prevent my death or theirs.. I just.. I can't do that to you, Rex. I just can't.." You're a full on blubbering mess again. All composure lost as you crumble into his arms. It's out now. Everything you've been hiding and lying to yourself and Rex has finally boiled to the surface. You were so quick to discount yourself and make a decision that affected your future and his. How could you take something like that away from him without even giving yourself the opportunity to try? It was selfish, unforgivable, and you could never forgive yourself for the trauma you've caused him as he silently accepted his fate with no protest. He respects you enough to never pry.

Rex lets out a deep sigh. He was never one to discredits your feelings. The way he validates your sudden and violent outburst gives you faith that you know he would be an amazing father.

Picking you up like he did on your wedding day, he steps off the creaky wooden porch you both were standing on and walks over to a nearby tree stump in the front of the house that Gregor utilizes as a chopping block and takes a seat with you comfortably on his lap. Rex tenderly cleans your face of tears and strands of hair to get a better look at you, eyebrows furrowed with longing intent. Once your surface is cleared he begins to kiss your damp eyes, cheeks, tip of your nose, covering you in his love before he finally meets your lips. His hands cup the nape of your neck to hold you closer, but also to keep your eyes fixed on his so he could tell you everything you so desperately needed to hear, seemingly already prepared with an agenda in mind.

"Do you remember when we met?" Rex asked while lightly stroking your face.

"Of course I do. I could never forget." You sniffle while trying to clear your throat and leaning into his touch, "I was surviving on my own after the fall, trying my best to impersonate a vendor on Saleucami. I forged my own chain code and it was flagged by the imperial database when someone ratted my discrepancy out to the officials. You stayed with me. Hid me. Protected me. Kept me safe until we were off the planet. I would have never made it out of there if it weren't for you." Your gratitude easily morphed to love within the first day of knowing your knight in plastoid armor.

"Yes.. But do you recall what I told you when we finally made it offworld?" Rex tilts his head. He knows the answer. He just loves to hear it.

"You said.. when it comes to me, you would lift up the planet and throw it directly into the sun." You smile at his vow. The metaphor of course wasn't literal. But it still rang true after all your trials and tribulations together. The protection turned to passion and it cloaked you both in an unbreakable love bond that would transcend lifetimes. Galaxies. Entire dimensions.

The dewy air of the coming rain was nearly upon you. You could feel the occasional sprinkle of water fall upon your radiant skin, giving you chills. Rex attempts to cease your tremors and calm your troubled mind by shielding you from the ever changing forecast.

"That goes for any child you bear for me. I would make it my personal mission, no- my core drive to give them the best life I know they deserve, my love. And enough talk about wanting to conceal their abilities. No matter how they come out, we're going to teach them to never hide a single thing about themselves." He lowers his forehead to touch yours. However, the guilt you're feeling is going to take a little more nudging to remedy.

"B-but..." you stutter "what if I can't give you anything? What if I can't take the pain or if something happens to the baby and we don't have the necessities to fix it? My condition... it's hereditary. I already feel the tell-tale signs from my regular menstruation. If cramps are enough to incapacitate me or make me unable to walk then how in the Hell am I going to handle labor?" Your emotions were in full force as you tried to communicate your final confessions as to exactly why you denied yourself and your beloved husband children all these years.

"The doctors told my mother that childbearing was impossible for her. And when she finally fell pregnant, she miscarried and she barely survived it. She bravely tried again and sacrificed her precious life bringing me into this forsaken world. I'd be leaving you alone with the survivors guilt eating away at your soul-"

"Hey-hey-hey," he raises his palms to each of your ears in an attempt to shush your raging thoughts. "Enough of that." His eyes are soft and full of tension. They hold a sternness with a glimmer of vulnerable moisture begging to fall from his eyelashes. You couldn't help your strenuous exhibit and it always pained Rex to see you so distraught. He continues with a slight quiver in his tenor voice that threatens more tears to fall when you see the effect your episode has on him. "Whatever happens is no fault of your own. I don't want you to blame yourself for anything, okay? And you're not going anywhere. You're staying right here, by my side, for the rest of our lives. I promise." With each word of his expression you just hoped and prayed it to be true.

The fear of widowing your husband drowned you in hopelessness. You begin to shudder uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the breakthrough you've shared. "Cyare! Look at me!" Rex grit his teeth, shaking you slightly, desperately trying to ground you to his reality, only you couldn't fight your way out of it. Your eyes were completely engulfed at this point, stinging with your deeply suppressed phobia. The coming rain you sensed before was finally upon you and it manifested with your grief, melding with your tears and making it even more difficult to see the silver lining decorate the clouds above you. Surrendering to his embrace, you sob into his chest as you ride out yet another wave of anxiety. You know what this is and you're in wretched denial. You're finally coming to terms with what you wholeheartedly desire deep down: you want to try for a baby. You want to start a family. You want to live the dream you know Rex has longed for his entire life.

"I'm here. It's okay. You're okay. Just breathe, dear. Just breathe." With each passing second the rain is picking up. The light trickle against the singing leaves makes for a calming white noise. Combined with Rex's steady breathing, you successfully start to calm down to tell him your revelation.

"Rex..." Your face is still hidden against his shoulder, your call to his name cuts through the summer showers and he pulls away to let you know you have his undivided attention. Droplets wet his face and you're not sure if they're tears or rain either. You admire his darkened features but they're hidden behind a mask of shared detriment. You and Rex were a prime representation of quantum entanglement. Your suffering was his suffering. In that aspect, your bliss was his as well. Even if you were on opposites sides of the galaxy, if something effects one of you, if effected the both of you. Without this torment, you two would have never know such immense, unconditional love.

"What is it cyare? Are you okay? Please, talk to me..." He begs, breathing shakily.

"Rex, I want to try." You manage to utter the phrase at no more than a whisper.

"You- wait, what?" Rex tilts his ear to you in order to understand your hushed dialogue better. He's already in disbelief.

Looking down you explain quietly, "A family. A child. I want to try for a baby. With you." You raise your head slowly to meet his eyes, "Could we do that, Rex? Please? I'm still scared... B-but I can't live my life without trying." Your delicate hands are aggressively fisting his shirt, pulling him closer. Rex can tell that you're serious. He pulls you in for the biggest, warmest love filled hug you know only he is capable of offering before responding.

"Cyar'ika, you don't have to do anything just to please me. I've come to terms with not having children when I first asked you. I would never want you to feel like you absolutely have to do this in order to make me happy with you." His voice is gentle, but you can still hear the forced disconnection he's trying to push himself through. The years of living with this fact really took it's toll on Rex. He was already prepared to keep going without the hope of offspring. You could just punch yourself for being so selfish and poisoning his malleable mind with your harsh insecurities. You take his face in your hands in an attempt to quiet his thoughts like he so gracefully did for you just moments before, "Forget everything I said. This is what I am telling you now." The frog in your throat is back as you try to hurdle to your next statement, "Let's try for a baby, Rex. After everything we've been through, we deserve the right to preserve our family line. A Mandalorian clone and a Jedi? We'd be the best parents in the Galaxy." You look down at your last phrase. It was a hopeful gesture but Rex can clearly see it was cloaked in altruistic self preservation. He knows your fear of the pregnancy is still at the forefront of your mind.

"Cyar'ika, you know you don't have to put on a brave face for me. I know you're scared. Hell, I am too. But I will be right there with you every step of the way. Wolffe and Gregor included. They'd be the best uncles our child could ask for. Nothing could get through them." Rex's face contorted to concern before continuing, "Now, as for the pain in delivery, we can get with the locals and see if they know of any natural sedatives to make the process easier for you and help boost your fertility. If we're lucky, they might know a thing or two about your condition. I'm sure sciatic endometriosis isn't a disorder borne by people in just the Republic. Maybe women here experience it and have found a natural remedy or two." His confident faith in talking your health and wellbeing into consideration was unlike any mission objective he's had before, but he knew he could conquer it with ease. "In any case, I'll scream with you. We'll scream together. You will never experience a second of this alone." He holds you closer to his heart, resting his chin on the crown of your dampened head, taking in the moment you began the rest of his life.

After years and years of a long, drawn out compromise, the both of you were inching closer to your happily ever after. It felt like the metaphorical world weighing on your shoulders had successfully been lifted by none other than your invincible Dad-To-Be, and effortlessly hurled into the setting sun.

Neither of you cared for the current exposure to the elements. There was only one task in mind as you still sat on Rex's lap getting pelted with moisture, and he didn't need to wield the force to take that hint. You pull back slightly to try and focus on his face through the droplets of rain landing heavily on your eyelashes, causing the subtle weight to drift them closed. Rex uses his eloquently groomed head to umbrella himself over you, landing his mouth directly onto your lips to breathe your scent in along with the humid atmosphere. You could distinctly pinpoint his familiar flavor, now enhanced by the quickening downpour. You felt a new passion, a fierceness in him taking you like this in order to fill you with his seed and make his dream a reality, out here in the open for the gods and all the wilderness to spectate. He said it himself that Gregor and Wolffe will be back soon with the spoils of the land. Probably sooner with the sudden weather changes. Though, in this moment, he didn't care who witnessed this pure act of love. You are more than a person to him. You are his life. Soon to be a beloved mother.

"Mesh'lahh..." Rex groaned that effervescent mando'a monicker into your ear. Suddenly you're aware of his rock-hard member throbbing into the seat of your outfit. He was already stiff as the wooden trees that erected around the wilderness from the revelation of impending fatherhood alone. The rain cooled your flaming skin with each translucent drop. It could have just as easily evaporated with the contact of your heated flesh.

"Right here. Right now. I need you, cyare." To his elation, you were only wearing a sheer, off-white evening gown fastened with cobalt laces woven around your midsection. The hem of your skirt stopped just a hair below your knees. It was a gloriously feminine likeness to Rex's own 501st armor he donned for the GAR. You felt immensely inspired by his selfless acts of service, you just had to commemorate it into your own personal fashion. Rex was absolutely lovestruck when you surprised him with it's completion. You managed to successfully hide the project from him for months while you sneakily crafted your ornamental tribute in the wee hours of the night. And with the fluctuating climate, you took it upon yourself to forego undergarments to more fully liberate your senses. Brilliant.

Rex shifted your weight on his lap to have you straddling his waist. You roughly ground yourself against his protrusion to relieve the aching absence of him inside you. His leathery palms trace the mounds of your thighs, thumbs teasing at your center as he lifts your gown out of the way, now soaked and heavy with the rain. He admires you for a moment, glancing at your delicate form peeking vibrantly through the drenched window of clothing.

You've got your hands on him now, applying pressure to his warm rod through his coarse canvas pants. You free him from his constricting waist band and he slightly winces at the touch of cold rain to his exposed head. You immediately remedy his shivers by scooting closer on his lap and knocking him against your already seeping entrance.

Rex's breath hitches in his throat at the sensation of you finally on him. Using your accumulated slick, you vigorously paint yourself up, using his throbbing and awaiting cock as a utensil of choice.

"Cyare?" He begs, breathless and eager. "I can't wait... Please..."

"Yes but... wait a little longer for me, Rex." He is incredibly impatient, finally on the threshold of paternity, about to walk through the door. Only you're drawing it out for as long as you could, savoring the moment. You wanted to permanently file this memory away for safe keeping: your first attempt at conceiving a child. And what an artistic scene it was. The sun was too low to be obstructed by the patchy clouds and their coming rain. It decorated the sky in luminous hues of red, orange and yellow. The glow made the two of you look heavenly, entranced and full of burning desire.

With Rex's pulsating length still in your grasp, you begin revolving his firm head around your clit, using him as a play-thing to initiate a solo climax. He sits back on the uneven chopping block to further assist in your writhing ecstasy. With each stroke of him against the sensitive bud, you could feel your muscle systems clench with an unrelenting force, spasming and trembling as your mewls are drowned out by the ever apparent thunder. Rex needfully awaits his turn for ecstacy, but is absolutely smitten by your sinful utilization of his appendages.

"You're absolutely breathtaking, cyar'ika..." Rex is more than ready to plunge himself into you now that he's captivated by your alluring display. He's staring at you, dying to feel your soft walls glove themselves around him, now exponentially moistened by your currently fleeting orgasm. Your teasing is only driving his ravenous appetite even further. Rex lowers his head to rest on your chest, generously planting kisses and vicious love bites atop your shimmering bosoms. You can feel his hips jolt upward, getting himself off on your velvet palms still wrapped around him. Using your other hand, you bring his gaze up to meet yours before finally giving your captain his command.

"Make me yours forever, Rex. Make me yours forever." You finally lower yourself onto his shaft and Rex gasps from the sudden warmth of your welcoming lips sliding against him.

"You already are, cyar'ika. As I am yours." You lock eyes to admire the shock on Rex's face of finally seating yourself on top of him. He lets out a trembling breath at the radiant contrast you were to the cool air of the fields. You put your hands around his neck as you quicken your pace and ride against him, hips pounding into his torso.

Adjusting his position, he's not leaning back on the heels of his palms anymore. He's sitting upright and holding you in place as he forces himself deeper into you. His work-worn hands are aggressively loosening the neckline of your gown to further reveal your goddess image to him. You can feel that he's inching dangerously close to climax at the sight of your immodesty, but you're not through with him yet. That's when you halt his movements with a determined and sudden slamming of your rear against his thighs.

"By the gods, cyare! What are you doing to me?" He's confused by your sudden assertiveness, but it doesn't go unwelcomed. "D-do that again. Slower. Harder..." you happily oblige, earning a couple more forceful grunts to slip from his mouth as you punch the oxygen out of his gut with each and every one of your thrusts. Your thighs land in an audible slap against him, now louder with the pooling condensation. All previous apprehension you felt fighting within you has long since been rinsed clean of your conscience. All that matters now is milking your husband for all he was worth.

"You like when I'm in control, don't you, Rex?" Already privy to the answer, you lift your hips to start again, feeling every ridge and vein of him slide out of you and tickle your clit before lowering back down at an almost painfully slow rate. All the while Rex is smitten by your efforts to please him, falling apart at your touch, or rather, lack of it. You're hovering over him as he tries, and fails, to stay still. He's desperately lifting your gown out of the way to watch himself vanish into your celestial form. You truly mirrored enchantment before him, full of picture-perfect fertility. You're not sure how much more of this he can take but you have faith that this soldier still has some fight left in him.

"Do you love me, Rex?" Caught off guard by the question, he wastes no time in telling you exactly what is on his mind.

"Love you? Cyar'ika, what I feel for you is transcendent of love. It's goes beyond anything that a four letter word could even classify." Rex takes one of his hands off your gown to cup your face and tenderly brings it down for you to passionately kiss him. He's fully sheathed inside of you, like a sword in it's scabbard, stopping to admire the feeling of two bodies becoming one.

"Then don't stop. Even when you cum. Fill me to the brim and don't waste a drop. Do you understand, my darling Rex?" His eyes widen at your devious wishes. The reflection of the fading sun peeking through the rain is casting a glare in his eyes that make them shine gloriously. Rex takes advantage of your permission to the furthest degree, lifting you just so that he could rest your back on the tree stump. But not before he courteously removed his shirt so that the uneven and splintery surface would be shielded from your delicate skin. Even when all he wanted to do was ravage you in this inclement weather, he still made sure to preserve your comfort and integrity of the gown you worked so hard on.

With you now on your back, flush against the stump, it fashions as a natural stool with which Rex can use to support himself as he aims to fulfill your requests. Your calves are resting against his flexing pectorals, cut shoulders peeking through behind your legs. He was a remarkable eclipse to shield you from the sun and rain. You felt him finally plunge himself further with the force he was deprived of before, slowly building his pace back up, gradual and certain.

"I can't believe you're all mine... I-I can't believe you're going to be the- ugh... the mother to my child, cyar'ika." The way he's speaking to you. You can't help but shed a few tears at the thought of his painfully awaited elation. The happiness you shared in this moment made everything that kept you up at night seemingly insignificant by comparison. He's inching closer and closer to his beloved future, with each thrust you feel him slowly but surely faltering. "I love you, mesh'la. I love you so..."

Rex shoves his callous palms into the crooks of your knees, pushing them to your chest in order to better complete the most important mission of his life. It has your rear slightly raised off the stump, folding you in half and squeezing high pitched, scandalous cries from the depths of your lungs.

He's grunting your name through clenched teeth, pounding out his release and spilling himself completely into your womb. The position ensures that he is coating every supple inch of your walls, draping excessively through the interior and doing exactly what you commanded: never wasting a drop.

Then you feel something you've never, ever felt before. A combustion of swelling. The give of flesh within your center, opening up to his fertile and extremely abundant iridescence. The sudden ignition of fluids combining with your own make you feel bloated and fuller than you could have possibly dreamed of. It's an ocean within you, sloshing around without resistance like the fiercest, most turbulent rivers of the planet.

Due to your self-conscious fears, you've never given yourself the liberty of experiencing Rex's spend in any other way than through your mouth or various canvas points across your body. The fact that you had foregone this heavenly experience for so long felt like an unforgivable crime to yourself. With your newfound revelations, this was a genesis of opportunity. You felt as eager as Rex to try for not only one, but maybe more children if it meant feeling this way for many, many more illustrious days on end. You dearly appreciated the way this man made you finally confirm that you are more than invincible. With him by your side, surely you could vanquish anything that came your way.

After countless strained breaths and affectionate caresses, he lowers himself to lick the accumulated rain off your lips before driving his tongue into your mouth. Gruffly exhaling against your face, Rex is still deep inside, plugging you with the full intent to see you plump to bursting just a mere few months away.

"Do you think this is going to work?" You ask intently, eyeing himself still bound within your walls.

"If it doesn't, we'll try again and again and again..." He pauses to look at you, worshipping your disheveled state," I'll never give up. We'll keep trying until I see you round with my little one. I swear it, my precious love." His smile is nothing but a thorough rendition of his entire psyche in this moment. Serene, prominent and gleaming like the dusk through the clouds. The rain was letting up. You could feel the rhythm of waterfall slowly fade away into the evening as a symphony of croaks and ribbits crescendoed with the waking of sleepy reptiles.

Just then, you could hear the adorably loud and distinct cackle from Gregor reverberate somewhere in the distant wilderness. They were nearly home with the main ingredient for Rex to prepare the lovely meal the four of you would soon hungrily share. Mealtimes, especially dinner, are a particularly joyous activity. It gave your little growing family a sense of wholesome normalcy. You couldn't wait to hear the added laughter of your own babies as well as the pitter-patter of teeny feet across the deck in harmony with Gregor's giggles. The absence you felt upon returning to an empty home would soon be a thing of the past. You and Rex would be able to think back and laugh, wondering whatever it was you were so afraid of.

You could tell your bountiful hunters were still a ways off, giving time for you both to preserve your charades of the rich environment . Leisurely pulling his now softened member out of your sinful lagoon, little to no ejaculate follows. You're clutching onto his pious gift for dear life. You want to see this come to fruition but you'd be lying if you didn't want to take as many attempts you could to get there.

"What do you think Wolffe and Gregor will think about a new little trooper running about?" You ask Rex as he helps you to standing. The viscous contents within you jostle with the sudden movement, but you lock your thighs together, trying your best not to let a single remnant of it escape.

"I think they'd request we make them a whole battalion." Rex smiles widely as he notices your struggle to retain the gift he's given you. In order to ensure none of it drips down your legs, he lifts you into his arms once more, only this time he is walking you through the doorways of your home, safely in his capable embrace. Loving him was as easy as breathing. Whatever can happen will happen. And you had faith that Rex would make sure you both come out the other end of it even stronger.

The residual fear you had is no longer chastising you. It felt like you and Rex had renewed your ceremonial covenant with this divine interaction, finally able to have a proper honeymoon. Your little but flourishing ménage was already isolated on a distant planet, no pending obligations or responsibilities, and surrounded by the abundance of wholesome community. The conditions were more than perfect.

They were meant to be.

I decided to make a rough little self-insert sketch for this fic too like I did for The Love Of Science and it's counterpart. I decided to color in my skin this time to highlight the real and parallel contrast to my husband and my skin tones. I'm half European Spanish and i am very light complected. My husband is native American and German and he is significantly darker than I am. It's clearly not my best work by a long shot. Some of my colored pencils, particularly my browns, (go figure) were all waxy on my paper, causing Rex's skin to come out more streaky than I wanted. 😩 However, after getting a few opinions from a couple of my favorite Rex Stans (you know who you lovely ladies are) they convinced me it was not in my control and that it looks fine regardless. So thank you for your love and support! I hope you all enjoy this fic straight from my heart. Like, comment, rb. I love and appreciate it all!

Sick Days🦠🤒

a little TBB HC by me - completely self indulgent- also my first one so go easy

I've had a history of nursing my fair share of sickly partners back to health to have an idea about how each of TBB would act around reader if they contracted a head cold/stomach bug. I've seen a bunch where TBB comforts reader when they're cramping or sick so I thought I'd flip the script. Also I'd be lying if I said I didn't absolutely love seeing them depend on me. Caretaking is my love language.

Wrecker🥺

  • He would be the easiest to diagnose. Already complaining to you like the massive baby that he is. He wouldn't even attempt to hide his symptoms, telling you exactly what he's feeling and how much of a buzz kill it all was.
  • A stomach bug or head cold puts a damper on his mood and he's not able to have fun or enjoy himself if he's having to make for a trip to the refresher every half hour or wipe his snot-ridden nose. (most of the time you had to do that for him just to stop the river of boogies)
  • At first he would be embarrassed to tell you about the less obvious symptoms he's suffering from (diarrhea, gas or bloating) but would quickly get over it to feel some relief.
  • He would also BEG to be babied. Like, full on coddled like a child. As soon as you give in and convince him to be confined to bed rest, he would pull every card in the book.
  • He would request for Lula at all times and freak out any moment he accidentally threw her on the ground.
  • He would resort to yelling at you in his booming voice, whining in a higher octave in order to convince you to fulfill his every whim.
  • He would refuse medicine and give you a manic struggle in order to administer anything to him, asking why can't soup and water be enough.
  • But in the end, he would request you lay down in his bunk to keep him company until he feels better, even if you were aware of his possible contagion. You would happily oblige.
  • You would stroke the lines of his scar that webbed out along his face, soothing him to sleep.
  • When he wakes up the next morning, he'd feel right as rain, steady on his feet and ready to take on the day with no one to thank but you.

Hunter😬

  • Now he's a tricky one. He would try and hide it as much as possible before you even noticed. And he'd get away with it too if it weren't for his obviously green face and constant use of breath freshener.
  • You would jokingly tell him that even without heightened senses, you can put two and two together to come to the conclusion that something is wrong.
  • Through your humor, he would still be reluctant to receive help. Eventually, he'd give in because his tracking skills have diminished due to his stuffy nose and pounding head. He can't handle not being hyper aware of his surroundings. He feels like he's submerged in Kaminoan waters.
  • He would play it off like he's fine but deep down you know he's in pain, clammy and dying to stop resisting the urge to upchuck/swallow nauseating drainage from congestion.
  • He would be a little standoffish to you for "thinking he's helpless" but you'd eventually convince him to believe it when you say things like this happen to the best of us and it's no use to feel ashamed. He may be an enhanced clone but he's still human.
  • Upon hearing that, he's putty in your hands. He requests you make him some warm broth and refill his canteen with fresh water. You wholeheartedly agree and add that he is bound by bed rest until further notice, with which he logically complies.
  • He would DEMAND that he be left alone until he recovers. He's okay with you witnessing his vulnerability. But tries to refrain from revealing that side of himself to his brothers. That means no visitors. Not even Omega and she can't stand to be away from Hunter so this is a toughie.
  • When you ask if he wants you to leave his bunk, he will tell you that you can stay with him, but only if you want. He will always put your comfort and priorities first, but will smile when you reveal to him that you want to stay.
  • If you choose to stay (which, of course you do) he would reach for your hand to place it atop his head, a nonverbal gesture begging to have his hair played with. It's something you started doing when he felt uneasy, and now he wants it any chance he gets.
  • You'd sit down with your back against the wall of his bunk and allow him to fall asleep to the soothing sound of your joined breathing as your fingers gently ran through his hair.

Echo😷

  • He would be the least resistant patient of them all. He'd feel the symptoms arise the night before in the form of a tickle in his throat as well as the occasional heat flash while he slept. Since his time on Skako Minor, he's been very in tune with every subtle change in his body and will notice every slight difference.
  • Understandably, he would wake up in a less than stellar mood. You'd notice something is amiss when you see that he hasn't left his bunk yet, still buried in his blankets.
  • You softly touch your palm to his head to find that he's burning up, sweating and stiff. He feels bad that he's still in bed and assures you that he'll be fine after a couple more hours of sleep and maybe a bacta shot.
  • You tell him that some fresh air, water and a little food in his stomach would help exponentially if he hasn't already self medicated. Upon standing, it turns his stomach and he has to sprint to the refresher, pinpointing that you may have to dig into your arsenal of apothecary expertise to remedy his symptoms.
  • Echo is no stranger to feeling out of sorts, but that doesn't mean it's any less disparaging to him. To his surprise, you never abandon him through his sickness, even when he is constantly embarrassed by whatever emissions his body is making. A silent agreement between you two allowed him to shameless accept your help without protest.
  • Echo is extremely resilient. However, with his muscle spasms and pains, the agonizing shockwaves radiating from his prosthetics are enough bring him to his knees. His only request is that you massage his aching appendages to soothe his desperation.
  • The only thing he would absolutely refuse to be subject to is hooked up to any medical machinery. But for something as practical as this, you promise him there is no need. You would never do that to him.
  • It's a dead giveaway that he would want/need your company to get through this dilemma. It's no question that you're automatically welcome to closely monitor him, speaking to him in a hushed tone, helping him relax.
  • Echo's occasional phantom limb syndrome requires a need to cloud his mind with distraction. You easily achieve that by stroking the rivets along his scalp and rubbing his temples to give him something better to focus on.
  • Selflessly putting his recuperation over your comfort, you let him use you as a warming body pillow. At first he is afraid the weight of his frame would make parts of yours fall asleep, but you pacify his troubled mind by resting his head on your chest until you finally hear him fall deeply into a restful slumber.

Tech🤧

  • You wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of cute but repetitive sneezing. If it weren't for it's growing frequency, you would have thought it was part of your dream. You sneak over to Tech's side of the ship to see that he is furiously tapping away on his datapad, eyes swollen and glazed over in his goggles, used tissues strewn about with an opened medpack beside him.
  • With an adorably stuffy nose, he complains that you're out of bed instead of mentioning his obviously disheveled state, showcasing his concern for your own health when he's the one in need. He thinks that if he keeps talking you wouldn't be able to notice. But what he doesn't realize is that you can see through his ruse from a hundred clicks away.
  • He's dumbfounded at the fact that he contracted an illness with his "meticulously careful" health regimen he supposedly follows. Though all he can do is smile and shrug when you tell him that none of that means a kriffing thing if he doesn't get enough sleep. Which means any and all tinkering or research had to wait until he was fully recovered.
  • He puts up a weak fight when you reach for his datapad, confessing that he's only using it to search up every diagnosis and medication on the holonet but to no avail. His frustration kept him up all night and he failed at neutralizing his symptoms miserably. You give him a hard time for not asking for your help sooner, but he is certain there would have been nothing you can do. At least so he thinks.
  • Luckily for him, your mother was an herbalist and she taught you a thing or two that didn't require modern medicine as he knows it. You set him up with a steamy shower, opening his sinuses with some peppermint/eucalyptus oil you brought from home, as well as a healthy dose of your homemade cure-all tincture containing a natural steroid from dandelion flowers found on your home planet. It would open up his airways allowing him to breathe clearly again.
  • Once his congestion has subsided, he acknowledges his defenseless condition, shakily standing before you in the shower. One thing he did make note of during his holonet surfing was the benefits of a full stomach and proper hydration. Happy to see that he's finally thinking straight, you fulfill his request on one condition: to try and rest his eyes after his meal.
  • The only thing he doesn't want is to subject you to his contagion. All the while through his recovery, he will be spouting off about the risks you're taking, exposing yourself to clone pathogens, they could be mutated blah blah blah. But you humorously assure him that a head cold won't start a galactic-wide pandemic. You will be fine.
  • Upon finishing the meal, he will comply with his promise to try and rest. Unexpectedly, he will ask that you stay to read him a few chapters from the many books he's downloaded to his datapad, a lovely compromise to leaving it in your possession for the time being.
  • After reading a few passages on the molecular theory of combustion in space and how it differs in an oxygen-borne environment, he is finally more relaxed than you've seen all night. You remove the goggles obstructing his face and begin tracing the contours of his nose up to his forehead into his hairline, stroking him to sleep. The occasional wince at your touch confirmed his sinuses put up a hard fight.
  • You notice the distinct sound of his snoring beneath your informational rambling. Tucking the blanket under his chin, you climb into bed to spoon him from behind, wrapping him up with your warm, healing embrace knowing he will feel better in the morning. Hopefully sealing his thanks to you with a kiss.

Crosshair👿

  • Much like Hunter, but increasingly more aggressive. He will outright deny help even though he is unquestionably suffering. (flushed, dehydrated, body aches, the works.) You will have to threaten to take his toothpicks away to get him to even address his symptoms. He lies through his clattering teeth, saying the tremors are derivative of the "cool temperature" in the hull of the ship. But you get him to agree when you say holding on to the same toothpick keeps cycling bacteria into his system which is keeping him sick. You bargain with the promise of a fresh one.
  • As for his mood, he will be furiously on edge. Already annoyed with everyone and everything. You'll have to come at him like taming a rabid animal, but the purity in your voice allows him to calm down enough to at least take a singular dose of medicine. No more no less. yet. Though, you may have to sternly raise your voice a few times to get him to comply.
  • He's embarrassed to see you make such a big deal out of a "measley virus", but you have to remind him that being an unstoppable force of nature doesn't exempt him from airborne illnesses. There's nothing to be ashamed of for experiencing normal bodily functions like cramps and vertigo. Though he constantly expresses his displeasure in the form of angry moans and groans.
  • At first, he will want to navigate this on his own, mountainous pride getting in the way of logic. But due to his lack of medical know-how, he will come grovelling to you in fear of receiving unintended ridicule from Tech. You will start with asking when was the last time he had anything to eat, drank fresh water, if he's suffering from indigestion, temperature check him for a fever, etcetera.
  • He prefers to eat alone, at least in the beginning. He needs time to completely absorb the fact that you're here to help and not make fun of him. Halfway through his meal, he will make up an excuse for you to join him like "needing a toothpick" even though he's on a strictly liquids diet. You reveal to him that you never took them away, they were in his bunk the entire time. But you're still happy to keep him company.
  • Similar to Hunter as well, his only request is that you keep everyone away from his bunk. His perceived image is a major part of his confident persona. He couldn't bear for anyone other than you to see him in this fragile state.
  • Once he's absolutely comfortable with you, he is extremely clingy, but in a sarcastic kind of way. He gives you a hard time by saying you're hovering like the nurses on Kamino, but absolutely hates to hear you threaten to leave him, even if it's only to get a rise out of the fearful sniper.
  • His exhaustion slowly catches up to him. Putting on a constant façade of indifference certainly was tiring, more so when you're sick. You begin clearing the area to take away his used dishes when he unexpectedly reaches for your arm, not allowing you to even leave for a moment to quickly clean up.
  • Your heart immediately softens at the sight of his need for you by his side. He pulls you into his bunk where you both lay down in each other's arms. He doesn't say anything, and you understand not to address it either. You wanted to savor his confession without his antagonizing remarks.
  • He's able to find solace with you and sleep comfortably through the night, allowing for an easygoing evening for the rest of his brothers. You feel his tremors fade away as he falls deeper into dreams. His core temperature reverts back to normal and the color returns to his face in a matter of hours. Accelerated growth apparently meant accelerated healing too.

I hope everyone likes it. I have had these rolling around my head for a while but after my husband was sick earlier this week I needed to make it a thing.
