Chapter Text
Bly let out a tired sigh as he swiped the keycard into the fob of the door of the small apartment Aayla had gotten for them in Coruscant’s underworld. Fighting alongside a General that was different from the woman he loved really took its toll on him. Now he was finally happy to be home with his wife and their baby. Thinking about her but the pep back into Bly. Aayla had called him as soon as Lyn had been born and Bly had gotten the chance to look at his daughter for the first time. Since then he hadn’t had the chance to see her because they were always on guard when it came to their relationship. One wrong move and he would be thrown into the Brig and Aayla stripped of her Jedi title.
Slowly, the door wooshed open and Bly stepped inside before locking it. Then he started stripping himself of his armor and piling it in neat stacks by the door. He had only finished pulling off the armor on his upper half when he saw a beautiful Twi’lek woman come into his line of vision carrying a baby in her arms.
“Welcome home, darling.” Aayla said as she leaned up and kissed Bly.
“It’s good to be home.” Bly responded as he got his belt off and started working on his knee pads. Once his armor was completely off and he was in his blacks, he turned back to Aayla and gestured to the baby, “Can I hold her?”
“Of course, she is your daughter.” Aayla said softly as she handed Lyn to Bly.
“Hello, cyar’ika.” Bly said to Lyn. Immediately Lyn reached out and touched him and Bly saw images of himself walking through the door, “What was that?” Bly asked Aayla.
“I told you she was gifted in the Force.” Aayla insisted as she headed back to the kitchen, “She probably wants to know who you are.”
“Well little Lyn, I’m your father.” Bly introduced himself. Lyn blinked up at him before she leaned into him, seeming to accept the information. This surprised Bly, “Are all babies this smart?” Bly asked in disbelief, “Or is it the Force?”
“I want to believe that our child is naturally gifted.” Aayla hummed as she returned to the meal that she was making.
“That smells absolutely amazing.” Bly said as he came up behind his wife.
“Good. Because it is almost done.” Aayla hummed again before turning to look at her daughter still in her husband’s arms, “After we eat, I’ll show you how to feed and change her.”
“How long do you have before you have to go back to the Temple?” Bly asked.
“Two days. I figured that would be enough overlap without anyone getting suspicious.”
“I wish it could be more.” Bly said.
“I do too, darling. But all of these stolen moments make our life together seem more special.” Aayla said as she leaned up again and kissed him, “Now, it’s time for dinner.”
