" why are they not on the same finger?" hiro sked quietly

Shiloh instantly blushed, the red of her blood turning her blue skin purple, and Estelle burst out laughing.

"I'll tell you, because I know she won't," Estelle said when she was done laughing. "When this silly Twi'lek proposed, she was so nervous that she put the ring on the wrong finger!"

"It was an accident!" Shiloh insisted, her face turning even more purple.

Estelle laughed again. "I just liked it so much I kept it."

Winter smirked.
“I was gonna say bc she likes to flip people off with some class, but ya know that works too. Elias here didn’t even really propose. We skipped right to the marriage part. The funny thing that I witnessed however, was him freaking out the entire time I was pregnant with Frost. I couldn’t move without him losing his mind. And then Frost decided he was going to come say hello on Coruscant and several Pantorans and Leia’s husband had to work overtime to keep him from having a meltdown and barging down the door to get to me. It was quite the show. Leis still says she has the monitor footage by the way Elias.”
Elias frowned.
“Hey. I was just worried about our kid. He’s the first Hothian born in almost 16 years. I was so worried we were going to screw something up. And when I held him for the first time, I was so scared I was going to hurt him. And then you grabbed him, took our poor son, wrapped him in cloth and submerged him in artificial snow, because ‘he had to develop his weatherproofing’ to the cold. I was so worried about that and you were chilling with it the entire time. I was paranoid for about three days until you brought him out very sarcastically said and went, ‘well he’s finished cooking.’ And he acted completely normal. The Pantorans were so confused and Leia just looked at you and said alright then and walked off. It was a weird experience.”
Winter rolled her eyes.
“Sorry you weren’t cultured in the ways of cold weather proofing a child. Watching your reaction though was immaculate the entire time. I’ve never seen you so anxiety ridden in my entire life.”

while hed been trying his best, the poor boy had fallen asleep with the child in his arms. and announced to him, he'd set up some sort of shield around them both with his power.

Winter had noticed that Hiro had started to fall asleep. She kept talking amongst Estelle and Shiloh and Elias, until Elias tapped her shoulder.
“Win… Look. There’s our reason. I’ve never seen a Force Wielder create a shield around more than one person. They can protect themselves, but to widen it out enough to protect others? It’s unheard of. How are we going to help this boy?”
Winter got the attention of Estelle and Shiloh and tilted her head in the direction of Hiro.
“I have no clue how to help him Elias. The only thing I can do right now is treat him like our son. He has no family. He has nowhere to go. And I’m not going to let him go without anything, when we’ve been privileged enough to have an abundance of everything. He’s special and we all see that. But it’s late, the poor boy is exhausted, and Frost is asleep. Can you get through the shield, or are you going to move to Frost’s room?”
Elias rubbed his hands together and smiled.
“I’m going to move both of them to Frost’s room. Just a little bit of force wielding. Just gotta focus and levitate them there. Shouldn’t be too bad.”
Winter watched as Elias lifted Frost and Hiro off the couch and floated them to Frost’s room. She rolled her eyes at Elias.
“Wow. I’m so impressed. What a neat trick hun.”
Elias just laughed and sleepily looked at Winter.
“I think it’s time for two tired parents to go to bed. We’ve had a long day. Goodnight Estelle and Shiloh. See you guys tomorrow morning!”

"Goodnight," Estelle replied, leaning on Shiloh lovingly. "Want to get back?" she asked quietly.

"Sure," Shiloh murmured, looping an arm around Estelle's waist and pulled her to her feet. "Chini, wachamio." (Come, let's go.)

Estelle giggled and let Shiloh lead her through the airlock back to their ship.

hiro stayed with the kid until what would be a Tatooine morning. he got up and got to work helping around the ship. sweeping, figuring out how to cook a decent breakfast for the crew

Winter and Elias slept like rocks. They were dead to the world. That is, until mischievous giggling came from the kitchen. Winter bolted upright and narrowed her eyes. She smacked Elias awake.
“Get up. Frost is laughing and I smell food cooking. Either the kitchen is a disaster or Frost is levitating something partially dangerous.”
Elias rolled over and grabbed Winter’s waist and pulled her closer to him.
“At this point who cares. I’m still exhausted… Let the kitchen be in shambles I’m not going to stop anything. I’ve got to regain every amount of energy that I lost.”
Winter rolled away from Elias and got out of bed and changed out of her pajamas and put clothes on.
“I’m sorry hun. I’m going to go see what has happened in the kitchen. Sleep in for a few more minutes. But if the food is ready, I’m dragging you out here myself.”
Elias grumbled.
“I’d like to see you try…”
Winter rolled her eyes and walked out of her bedroom and towards the kitchen, where the giggling was occurring. She saw Frost levitating ingredients, and Hiro trying to make a breakfast with said floating ingredients. She smiled at what was going on.
“We’ll good morning to both of you!”
Frost turned towards his mother and jumped out of the chair he was in.
“AMA!”
Winter caught the ingredients with the Force before they hit the floor and gently set them down on the counter beside Hiro.
“Good morning Frost darling. What are you helping Hiro cook?”
Frost smiled and shrugged his little shoulders. Winter knelt down and ruffled his hair.
“Frost I have a mission for you. And it’s so very important. I need you to go jump on Ada and wake him up. Can you do that?”
Frost nodded and ran off as fast as his little legs could carry him. A muffled ‘oof’ was heard from the room, followed by joyful squealing.
Winter laughed at the shenanigans that were being caused. And then she turned towards Hiro.
“What are you cooking? And do you need any help? I’d be more than happy to help you if you ask.”

" I'm supposed to be making muffins but with Frost's help they turned out to be more like hotcakes. and yes, help would be amazing. " he checked the oven, levitating the things out and putting a new batch in " the batter on the counter needs more flour and I still have to add eggs. in not sure if people wanted regular or blue berry and frost has specially made chocolate ones by request. "

Winter laughed.
“Of course Frost asked for chocolate. He’s his own little person. And don’t worry about flavors. Just throw them in there and they’ll get eaten. Elias isn’t a picky person, and neither are Estelle and Shiloh. Food is food. But yeah this batter is missing just a little bit of ingredients. I’m going to assume Frost was the one helping with this batch. But not to worry, nothing a little mom magic can’t fix. Just a little bit of flour, some eggs, and some milk, and voila! We have an acceptable batter for some muffins. I’m going to throw blueberries in this one. Now is there anything else you want to go with the muffins? I can make it while the muffins are cooking.”

" ahm I'm not sure what els frost will eat… these were his idea"

Winter put her hands on her hips.
“Well that little rascal. Of course he wanted muffins. Well then. I guess we’ll have chocolate and blueberry, and I know there’s some other type of berry that Shiloh likes, but I have no clue if I have it. Maybe she has some.”

"Do you mean bellberries?"

Shiloh's voice preceded her as she came through the airlock with Estelle trailing her. Their fingers were intertwined, and the Twi'lek was pulling her Hothian partner along with her as they made their way over to where Winter and Hiro were talking.

"Bellberries are her favorite," Estelle chimed in.

"When I ran away, I lived on Endor before I joined up with everyone else," Shiloh explained. "I ate bellberries for practically every meal."

" alright, wanna get them out?" he asked and gave a gentle smile to the two

"I'll get them!" Estelle suggested, and she darted back through the airlock onto her partner's ship.

Shiloh chuckled. "So how long have you all been up?" she asked, preparing herself a cup of caf. She didn't like it much when she was younger, but Estelle did, and Shiloh had grown to like it.

"since about a tattooine morning "

Shiloh's eyebrows arched. "Damn, I'm impressed. I can't get up that early. Neither can Estelle."

"What did you say about me?" the girl in question asked, skipping back into the room holding a container of bellberries in her hand.

"I said you're not a morning person," Shiloh explained with a knowing smirk.

"Oh, no!" Estelle agreed quickly. "I'm not."

Hiro laughed "it's my routine "

Estelle's eyes widened. "Really? Do you actually get up that early?" She sighed and shook her head. "Stars bless you…"

"I had a job ya know. it was mandatory"

"Ah, I see," Estelle murmured. "I never had to get up that early. Only when I met this one." She hip-checked Shiloh, who growled under her breath.

Winter grabbed the bell berries from Estelle and threw them into the batter.
“Ya know, I never was a morning person until after I had a kid. Frost gets up ridiculously early. And if we had a day like we had yesterday, it’s hard to get up. Frost has boundless energy. We the tired parents do not. Anyways Frost is currently tormenting Elias. I taught him well in that category.”
Sudden giggling caught Winter’s attention.
“Speaking of which, here they come now.”
Elias rounded the corner with his hair pulled up in a messy ponytail, wearing shorts and a t shirt, holding Frost upside down by his ankle.
“Alright everyone get a good look. It takes effort for me to wear decent clothes and have my hair pulled back in whatever I decide to do to it. From braids to flowing free, it takes effort. Effort that I do not possess right now. So you’re stuck with a ragged looking light blue skinned man with a toddler as a weapon. Come at me and I will release the boundless energy this four year old possesses.”
Elias laughed and gently set Frost down on the floor. As soon as Frost touched the floor he squealed and took off running around the ship.
“Something smells good. What’s cooking? From my point of view it looks like muffins and I am stoked. And don’t mind the toddler he’s just got the equivalent of the zoomies. He’ll chill out. Probably.”

hiro chuckled "frost, come here," he called and held his arms open for the child. hed let frost braid and unbraid his hair all morning which in turn kept the tot busy

Winter finished the muffins, and put them all on the counter of the kitchen.
“Alright everyone dig in. Chocolate muffins for Frost, and Stars help us all if he eats all of them, blueberry for Elias and probably Estelle, and bell berry for Shiloh, and Estelle if she wants them. I think I’ll eat some of the chocolate ones to prevent Frost from devouring them all. Hiro, just eat what you want. Go for it. Nothing is gonna stop ya. And thanks for keeping Frost busy. His braids are a little messy, but he’s pretty good at it. He likes to do his dad’s hair. I would love to say I taught him how to braid, but alas, my hair doesn’t like to braid because it is very curly. Elias taught him. He does Frost’s hair most days. I braid Elias’ hair when he doesn’t feel like it, and he tries his best with mine. My hair doesn’t cooperate with anyone, and that includes me.”
Elias stood up stiffly and grabbed some blueberry muffins.
“Hun, your hair isn’t that bad. It holds itself together pretty well and your braids can last for days. It’s just time consuming to braid your hair. As for Frost, I didn’t do much with it today. I’m surprised it’s stayed up this long. That pony tail is holding on for dear life.”
Winter laughed and patted the couch.
“Come here son. Let Ama do your hair today. What do you want? Braids? A pony tail? A bun like Ada?”
Frost scurried over from Hiro with a chocolate muffin in hand.
“A braid please Ama! The dragon looking one!”
Winter patted her son’s head.
“Alright. It’ll take some time. Can you sit still for me? And Hiro, if you want your hair braided you can ask me or Elias to do it. Or if you don’t know how, either of us can teach you. Elias more than I because he’s got similar hair to you. All you have to do is ask.”

" thank you, ive never learned more complicated ones except for the simple braid," he said and sat, eating a muffin he chose randomly

Estelle plucked a blueberry muffin and a bellberry muffin eagerly from the array. She kept the blueberry one for herself while giving the bellberry one to Shiloh. The Twi'lek took it gratefully and pecked Estelle on the lips in thanks. Their way of showing affection wasn't subtle, but it was quiet and less noticeable in other ways.

They kept to themselves during the others' conversation, speaking quietly and coming up with excuses to brush against each other in little ways. Estelle leaned her head on Shiloh's shoulder, closed her eyes, and smiled. Her partner accommodated her and gently ran her fingers through Estelle's long and soft blue hair.

Winter braided Frost’s hair and she watched the chatter around the room. She smiled at Estelle and Shiloh, and looked at their happiness. Then she had an idea.
“Hey you two love birds. I got a question. When are you going to decide to take on a kid? If you ever want one that is. You two would make wonderful parents. And I am absolutely dying to become an aunt.”
Elias butter in.
“I’m not necessarily dying to become an uncle but it would be fun. Means I could hype your kid up on sugar and not have to deal with the consequences. And that’s the fun part. Now about you Hiro. Anyone in particular you looking for? A pretty girl? A fashionable boy? A hot alien? Who cares! I can guarantee you’ll see them all on Coruscant. And speaking of which, we all know the most fashionable man in the galaxy. That Lando fella, who hangs out with the wookie and Leia and her husband. The Solo fella.”
Winter laughed.
“Yeah if you consider pink and green mixed together in a wild outfit to be fashionable, then yes Lando is the most fashionable man in the galaxy. I’m not going to lie, he has good taste sometimes. Other times it’s wild. And I can almost guarantee what’ll happen on Coruscant when Lando sees all of us. He’s going to want to take us shopping to buy new clothes because we aren’t fashionable enough for the high class Coruscant people. It happens every time. I know for a fact that he’s going to look at you Hiro and try to give you a whole makeover.”
She looked at Elias and they both laughed.
“Don’t worry though. He’ll make you look like Tatooine royalty. That Skywalker fellow may notice you and come over to speak with you if you’re wearing the colors of his home planet. Wouldn’t it be cool to finally meet him? A real Jedi master.”

hiro flushed at some things said, turning his cheeks a dark crimson. " I've just stuck with the 'male' gender so it's going to be harder to find.." he mumbled but sighed " and I'm not honestly sure now… i have a great family here and I know that if I go with that Jedi, I may never be able to see you again. you guys are the only thing I have to family, and what about frost? i still have to figure out what the hell is going on between us… it's not fair for him to be left in the dark while I go off to go be some wanna be hero.."

Both Shiloh and Estelle blushed heavily at Winter's ask.

"I'm not sure," Estelle finally answered for the both of them. "We've talked about it, but never settled on anything. I've quite liked being the 'cool aunt' for now." She was grateful, however, when the conversation quickly changed topics. "Speak for yourselves!" the blue-haired woman scoffed. "We look fabulous." She settled a hand on Shiloh's knee and nuzzled her nose against her wife's neck.

Winter rolled her eyes at Estelle and Shiloh.
“You two are absolutely wild. But when we get to Coruscant, Elias and I have to get out of our normal everyday dress, and put on the royal crest and royal garb of Hoth. Estelle, you’re probably going to have to wear the colors of Hoth as well. And poor Frost here will have to dress as the crown prince of Hoth. He absolutely hates wearing the outfit but he behaves himself well. He knows that when he wears it, he has to behave. But between all of us, he enjoys watching people back away and bow to him when he runs through the halls of the senate building. Most of the water planet senators think he’s absolutely wild. It’s not his fault that he can run and screech while their kid is trapped in a floating bubble because they can’t regulate their temperature. We’ve taught him well. And as for you Hiro, you can find anyone you want on Coruscant. Don’t worry, Elias and I will make sure you look presentable, before you meet any nice gentlemen. Just run around with Frost. He catches everyone’s eye. We’ll just have Lando or the Pantoran senators make you the protectorate garb for Hoth. You’ll get free reign wherever Frost goes. You never know. You may meet someone that catches your fancy. And don’t worry about losing us, or Frost. We don’t even know if the Skywalker fellow will be there. It’s just a hopeful guess. We won’t worry about splitting up, until we reach that bridge. Okay?”
Elias groaned.
“Gah. Those outfits are always so ridiculously uncomfortable. I don’t understand why we can’t just walk around in our armor. I mean I do, because we’re also the protectorate of the senate and when we’re out of royal garb we’re in our armor which means something is going down. I just wish we could just walk around in whatever we want. But it’s the senate.”
Winter patted Elias on the shoulder affectionately, and kissed his cheek.
