Chapter 1
Chapter 2–With the help of his sister, Cassian’s parents video call the next day, cooing over the baby in between scolding Cassian for not buying a house sooner.
“I told you, mijo, didn’t I?” his mother said. “You’ve barely had time to move in– is this angel’s room even set up?”
“Yes,” he says. “Not that it matters, she’ll just be in our room for the first few weeks anyway.”
Jyn takes the tablet back. “We’re using Cassian’s old bassinet, Mamá. Thank you so much for bringing it over.”
“Oh, good!” she claps her hands as Cassian turns the camera towards Amalia again. “It’ll be perfect for this little one– so fat and healthy. Cassian was so small we almost lost him in there.”
Jyn doesn’t even try to hide her laughter.
Cassian buries his face in his hands. “Mamá…”
“The newborn clothes were too big for months. Although it was an easy labor.” She peers at Amalia again. “You said she’s nine pounds? Jyn, tell me those doctors treated you well and stitched you right up afterwards.”
Jyn blushes, but seems semi-used to his mother’s intensely personal questions by now and answers easily, “They did, but the tearing wasn’t too bad, considering. Second baby, I guess.”
Meanwhile, Cassian’s face is burning and he sinks back in his chair, hoping this conversation comes to a swift end. While he took the time to educate himself on the details of labor and paid attention to what was happening during Amalia’s birth, it’s not something he ever hoped to discuss with his mother.
Unable to keep his eyes on Jyn while she continues to answer his mother’s probing questions, he checks his phone and replies to a few responses to the birth announcement email.
He notices one from Galen Erso, the word visit in the subject line. To Cassian, it’s kind of nice to see, especially since he made no such effort when Mira was born.
But Jyn probably feels differently. After a few playdates with Mira, Cassian thinks they’re making some progress with Jyn’s side of the family, but she’s been slow to trust again.
He sighs and doesn’t open the email.
