Jax caught An when she fell back into his arms, surprised when she said that she had seen something. He placed his hands on her belly, wondering if it was perhaps because of their child. He might not be the strongest at using Force Sense, but now, like this, even he could feel that the child would be strong in the Force. It made him happy, despite everything, to think about this, about what the child might be like.<br/><br/>Of course, his happiness was brief, as he was soon pulled back to reality as Jek spoke up again and suggested that they should drop the other Force Sensitives off and then take this ship, rather than the battlecruiser. He couldn’t really disagree with the logic behind the suggestion. It was a pretty decent sized ship, a good size bigger than his own, so he had no real issue with it. It seemed that An-Lok, did, though, as she snapped at Jek before slipping off his lap.<br/><br/>He reached out to steady her when she wobbled a bit before she got herself righted. He stood as she started to head out of the room, apparently set of leaving the ship. He looked at Jek and Aeris with an apologetic look. “We’ll pack,” he assured them before he turned to leave, walking at a faster pace to catch up with An-Lok.<br/><br/>Once he had caught up to her, he took her hand, kissed the top of her head, and headed back towards the lift with her. He wanted to tell her that everything would be okay, but he didn’t really have to words to reassure her, so he just squeezed her hand lightly and, once they were in the lift, wrapped her up in his arms until the lift stopped on their deck and he led her into the room, kicking off his boots and removing his belt, leading her to the bed where he lied down and allowed her to get comfortable, guessing that she wanted to get some rest. He kissed her head and rubbed her back in a soothing manner, wanting to let her know that he was there for her, that he would protect her, and that he knew that somehow, everything would be okay.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Aeris placed a hand on Jek’s hand that rested on her shoulder, trying to draw on his calm. “I love you, too,” she gave him a small smile. She listened as he spoke, telling them all that they would make it through this, not really leaving then any room to disagree. Not that she wanted to. She wanted to believe him, to trust that he was right.<br/><br/>When she told them all about the Sith woman, how she felt that they knew her, she could see the shock on all of their faces. She leaned back in her chair when An-Lok began to speak but suddenly stopped, interrupted by a vision. The younger woman had never had a vision like that before. Aeris knew how draining it could be, especially when it was your first time to experience something like that.<br/><br/>Her attention shifted from An-Lok to Jek when he spoke again, suggesting that they unload the Force sensitives and take her ship to the planet. He then suggested that they pack and leave nothing behind. She gathered that he intended to prepare for the possibility that they would not be coming back to this cruiser.<br/><br/>It was a solid plan, though. They were certainly not married to this cruiser, and if they allowed the Force Sensitives they had recruited to be harmed, they would have gone through all this trouble for nothing. “Agreed,” she nodded to his suggestion. She’d spent the better half of a decade on this ship, so what was a little longer?<br/><br/>An-Lok snapped at him with a snarky comment about the four of them on the ship with a baby on the way. She wanted to defend him and her ship, but she knew that it was probably just the hormones talking, so she kept her mouth shut. She gave Jax a nod and a small smile before he left after An, who had apparently decided that the meeting was over.<br/><br/>It was as good a place as any to stop, and she felt mentally drained after all of that, so she wouldn’t argue with it. She sighed lightly and leaned over, resting her head on Jek’s shoulder and closing her eyes. “This is not going to be easy,” she observed before moving her head so that she could kiss his neck lightly. “I’m glad you’re here. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to handle this alone,” she said softly, “But to be clear, even if being alone meant not having to deal with this, I would still choose you,” she added with a small smile, tilting her head so that she could look up at his profile without moving her head from his shoulder.
