A collection of small stories about Jacen Syndulla. It will take place in different times in his life. I plan on 3 stories. The first story is when he was born.

Hera was laying in her bed when she felt a jab in her belly as the child seemed to punching once again. The baby seemed to be a fighter like his father before him. The thoughts of Kanan made her heart ache. Hera desperately wanted Kanan to be her, if anyone deserved to see the birth of his own son it would be him. Yet she knew it could not be, only Sabine and Zeb was still with her, that and of course her unborn child. Even so she was excited about what her son would be like. The only thing she knew was the gender of the child. How much Twe'lik and how much human he was remained to be seen. The wait had been long but in two weeks it would over and she would hold her son for the first time. Suddenly there started to feel wet in the bed, she turned the light on and saw the whole bed was wet. A new punch was felt and pain started to spread.

"Aaarghh" Hera cried and groan.

Sabine and Zeb rushed in and looked at her.

"Hera what is wrong?" Sabine asked.

"The baby, he is coming" Hera cried.

Sabine and Zeb stared at her before Zeb scooped her into his arms and started bringing her to the medcenter of the base. Hera wanted to protest but the pain grew and she could not do much more than cry out. Sabine followed her with a worried look and many people looked worried as they carried General Syndulla through the base.

It took forever but finally they arrived at the med center and Hera cried out as the pain increased.

"Put her down here" the droid said as Zeb put her down on a litter.

"Is there any family you wish to be with you?" the droid asked.

Hera managed to point to Sabine and Zeb.

"Yes and the father?" the droid asked.

Hera felt a sob form in her throat, she knew it was not the droids intend to hurt but it none the less. There was nothing she wanted more than the father to be here, with her and their son.

"He can't be here" she heard Sabine say.

"Okay. Now start breathing, focus on your deep breath through the pain" the droid instructed as it started to prepare for the birth. Hera felt pain that increased as she started to breath and when she had to push she pushed, while crying out in pain, again and again until finally.

A cry was heard in the room - one of the oldest sound in the world, the announcment of a newborn making it into the Galaxy. Hera felt almost high upon hearing it after all the pain. A tiny baby was placed in her arms and she stared at her tiny baby son, he was perfect. No other word could describe it. Crying she took her baby son and took her first of many, many looks. The baby was mostly human but his hair and ears was green and the ears was bigger than the avarage human, his eyes was blue, not blue as Kanan but more like Ezra's. It would have to come from Kanan's unknown physical family. There was other traits from Kanan like the boys nose and cheeks. The tiny human boy was perfect, some of her and some of him.

"His beautiful Hera" Sabine said.

Hera looked and saw Sabine and Zeb smile to her and she smiled back. Once again a small sob worked up. It was so unfair that Kanan could not be here to see it. The two most have seen it because they gave her a light squish around the shoulders.

"Perhaps you can name him after him" Zeb suggested to chear her up.

Hera thought about it before she shoke her head sadly.

"If the empire hears about a boy named Kanan, Caleb, Dume or Jarrus they will hunt him down. The empire knows that a man with that name was a jedi, my poor son will be on the top of the wanted list if I name him as such" Hera replied sadly.

Both Zeb and Sabine hung their head in the truth about that. Then suddenly she remembered a undercover job she and Kanan had, he had gone by the name Jacen. It was a name she had come up with not even telling him it was actually her brothers name. It was perfect.

"Welcome to the world Jacen Syndulla" she said.

"Jacen?" Zeb and Sabine asked.

"An undercover name Kanan once used" she explained.

Sabine and Zeb smiled.

"Excuse me General but there is quite the crowd outside which would like to see you" a doctor came in.

They looked at each other before nodded and suddenly the room was flodded. Rex among with her squadron and high ranking members of the rebellion came to see and congratulate her. It felt like forever before suddenly Kallus stood in front of her.

"May I see?" Kallus asked.

Hera nodded and carefully handed over Jacen. Kallus smiled and cradled the tiny baby with a tender care. The image made her smile, she suddenly felt a rush of hope because the man which once strapped down her love on an interrogation table was now standing holding her and her loves son and looked at him with love. There was indeed hope for the galaxy yet.
