"Hey."
Leo looked up at Kira, setting his datapad to the side. "Hey. We off for another mission?"
"Not quite." Kira sighed, coming to stand in front of him, her body hidden by her robe. "Uh, I'm going home, back to Alderaan."
"What." Leo blinked. "Why?"
She swallowed, shrugging. "It's time."
"What, is your husband annoyed at you stealing his thunder--"
"No!" Kira snapped, pointing a finger at him. "That's not it at all. And he doesn't think that. It's just...I'm..." She glanced around before whispering the words at him. "I'm pregnant. I'm having another baby."
Leo froze and wrinkled his nose. "What the kriff? Are you like the unluckiest woman ever?"
"It's not unlucky." Just...untimely. But not unlucky. Kira growled at him. "I love my children."
"Yeah, yeah. This is great, but look, it's crap timing." Leo grumbled. "You're just gonna go home, abandoning your duties because your precious husband doesn't want you to risk anything, have any fun, just sit around having his kids, barefoot and getting fat--"
She slapped him, hard. The sound reverberated in the library and caught the attentions of studying Jedi around them. Leo looked shocked...sheepish, and then a little angry.
Kira just looked angry, no littles about it. "You shut your kriffing mouth," she muttered, low. "My husband does not own me. I can do as I like. My duties however, are my family. I will never give my entire self to the Jedi again."
She stepped back. "They only chew you up and spit you out in the end." Her head bowed forward, quickly before she turned and walked out, leaving Leo there.
