2.3K words

summary: a porg sneaks onto a republic base. y/n and her boyfriend fives become attached to the said porg and take it in as their son. the rest is history.

a/n: yes, this fic is bloody adorable. also, this fic is set up where it goes through little moments. it doesn’t actually follow a “plot”

A heap of clone troopers walked down the empty hallways. It was late at night. Nobody else was up except for Rex and the rest of the 501st. Fives couldn’t help but notice that only one room had lights on. The last place where he saw Y/N was also inside the said room.

“Guys, did you see Y/N leave this room?” Fives inquires

The men stop walking, peering curiously at the room. Red light seeped through the door. Rex opened it gently, afraid to awake Y/N. Lately she had been overwhelmed by her duties as Commander. The amount of times they found her asleep on the floor was disgraceful.

“I’ll go in. You guys can head back to the barracks.” Fives says

The clones mutter their agreements and continue their walk down the hallway. Fives ventures inside the vast room, silence settling over him. Low and behold, Y/N was asleep. But this time, she was curled up in a chair, blanket strewn over her petite body. Her face was serene, lips parted open.

“Obi Wan must’ve been in here...” Fives says to no one in particular

A soft mewl sounded from Y/N. However, the sound was not human-like. Five’s eyes widened as he heard the noise again, but amplified. Concern filled his features, wondering what was underneath the blanket.

“Y/N?��

Fives put a hand on her cheek, caressing her soft skin gently. Her eyes fluttered open. Lips smacking against each other, she left her dream state. Consciousness flooded her body as her eyes adjusted to the light. Fives stood over her, brow furrowed.

“Fives?”

Just then, something under her blanket moved. It made a low growling sound. Fives screeched, backing away from Y/N. Panic set in Y/N’s drowsy features.

“Shit! Fives, don’t freak out, okay?”

“Y/N...what the fu-”

As she uncovered the blanket, Fives mouth clamped shut. She revealed to him the most adorable creature alive. It had large eyes and cute little fins to accompany its small body. Their fur was tan around its eyes, the belly being completely white. While the back and fins were brown.

Starry eyed, Fives approached Y/N once again. His steps were careful, calculated even. The last thing he wanted to do was scare away the little creature. He sat beside Y/N, looking at it curiously.

“It’s a Porg, Fives. I nicknamed it Rookie.”

“Rookie? Maker, I’m going to cry...”

Rookie looked up at Y/N, then to Fives.

Y/N lifted the creature and stood it on her palm. It bored into Five’s eyes as she brought it closer to his face.

“Rookie, meet Daddy Fives.”

A blush settled on Fives cheeks, shifting slightly in his blacks. “Daddy?”

“Well yeah, you are the first male to meet Rookie, so therefore you are the father.”

Tears filled Fives eyes. “I’m a dad?”

“Yep. That means no more cusswords. We should also start a stockpile of food for our munchkin.”

“Anything for our little guy.” Fives said fondly. “Hi there Rookie.”

“Why don’t you pet it? Rookie also loves to snuggle.”

Reluctantly, Fives held out his large hand. The Porg nestled into his fingers as he gently pet the top of its head. Shortly after, the Porg laid down in Y/N’s palm. Fives looked expectantly at Y/N, silently asking what to do next.

“Rookie wants belly rubs.” Y/N translated

Fives grinned as the Porg let out a mewl of relief. His hands raked up and down the Porg’s big belly. Its fins hung over Y/N’s palm, completely spread out. Enthusiasm coursed through Fives veins, eyes lighting just as bright as the night sky. Y/N found it adorable.

“Aww, Rookie likes to be spoiled...just like his mama, huh?” Fives baby-talked

Y/N giggled. “Don’t listen to your daddy!”

“Well you don’t have to, but mama always has to listen to daddy. Isn’t that right?”

“Fives!” she scolded, face going red. “No dirty jokes around the kid!”

“It’s not like it can understand us!”

Sensing their discomfort, the Porg leapt out of Y/N’s hand and onto her lap. Fives and Y/N stopped bickering at the sight before their eyes. Rookie snuggled into Y/N’s stomach, head burrowed against her.

“Now I want real ones!” Fives whined

“You’ll have to find someone who is willing to be get pregnant first.” Y/N replied

“I already know who it is. And she’s sitting right next to me.”

Y/N smiled at Fives, pulling his head closer to hers. Their foreheads met, settling against each other.

“Perhaps one of these days.” Y/N murmured

“Wait, seriously?”

Y/N giggled, kissing Five’s cheek. “Yeah! I wouldn’t be against it after this whole thing is over.”

“What about the Jedi Code?”

“I wouldn’t be a Jedi for that long, Fives. Especially when there is someone like you.”

And that’s when Fives knew that he was completely in love with Y/N.

“Me? Out of all men in the galaxy?”

Y/N shook her head at Fives insecurity.

“Well yeah silly! Who else would I be unconditionally in love with? Rookie needs a stable home life too, so if you aren’t interested then you need to leave soon.”

“I love you too, darling. We will make a beautiful family one of these days.”

Fives looked down at Rookie, who slept blissfully in his helmet. Softly, he stroked the top of its head. Rookie snuggled into the side even more, tipping it gently. Fives hands shot out just in case Rookie were to spill out of his helmet.

“What the hell are you doing, Fives?”

Rex walked over to Fives, attempting to look inside his helmet. Fives quickly hid it from him.

“Fives,” Rex warned. “what do you have there in your helmet?”

Fives refused to budge.

“I command you to tell me what’s inside that damn bucket of yours!”

Rookie let out a screech. It crawled up Fives back and onto his shoulder. Captain Rex stood rigidly, jaw on the floor. Rookie let out a low hiss. Fives expressed his disdain at his child, as he did not want Rookie to injure Rex.

“Rookie, you stop that! It’s Uncle Rex. He won’t hurt you!” Fives tutted

“U-uncle?”

“Well since the cat is out of the back, Y/N and I are its parents. We call it Rookie.”

Fives picked Rookie up, letting it stand on his palm. “Be nice, kid.”

Captain Rex observed the creature. Its webbed feet imprinted against Fives palm. A much softer sound came from the creature. Curious, Rex pet the creature gently. Grinning, the Captain peered up at Fives.

“I like it. Does anyone else know about Rookie?”

“Just the four of us.”

“Well, your secret is safe with me then.”

The Porg padded down the hallway. Chasing after the swift creature, Y/N and Fives were coming closer to the escapee.

“Rookie, you better stop walking!”

“We won’t give you dinner!”

Fives paused in his movements, looking over at Y/N. It was obvious who was the good cop and who was the bad cop.

“Wait, we aren’t gonna feed it dinner?”

“Fives, it’s just a threat. Parents do this all the time.”

The Porg stopped in its tracks, turned around, then let out a defiant squawk. Y/N and Fives gasped in horror.

“I think Rookie is talking back to us!” Y/N exclaimed

Another squawk came from the Porg. Taking evasive measures, Fives dove onto the floor in attempts to catch the Rookie. Fives scooped up the Porg, holding it with his hands. Letting out a soft coo, it snuggled into his palms once again.

“I don’t understand you, Rookie.” Fives said to the Porg

Y/N giggled at the two. Fives was on the floor like an idiot, while Rookie was in his own paradise. Over the course of the past few weeks, Fives has learned to become a total gentle giant. It was melting Y/N’s heart in ways she could not describe.

Fives stood, placing Rookie back into his helmet. “Let’s get you back to Y/N’s quarters.”

Y/N set down her holopad.

“So apparently Porgs like to swim.” Y/N said to Fives

“Where can we find water on this planet?” Fives inquired immediately, wanting nothing more than to make his son full of joy

“I was thinking we could just fill my bathtub, stupid.”

“Can we invite Rex to watch? He hasn’t spent enough time with our son lately.”

“I don’t care as long as he doesn’t have any other prior engagements.”

A few hours later, Rex, Fives, and Y/N gathered around her bathtub. Rookie stood at the edge of the tub. With a splash, he dove inside the tub. Y/N cheered him on as he swam around. Floating on his back, Rookie looked up at the three humans.

“Our son has so much talent!” Fives said happily

Rex chuckled, shaking his head. “I can’t believe you guys have been able to keep Rookie a secret for so long.”

“Me too. But Rookie likes to entertain himself with the objects in my room. Lately, it has been obsessed with my mirror.” Y/N says

“He keeps on taking it and leaving it in my helmet.” Fives adds

A few moments of silence linger on. The subtle sound of Rookie’s splashing ensue. Fives had nothing but pride in his heart for his little boy.

“Imagine if you guys had a real kid.” Rex teased

Fives and Y/N shared a knowing smile.

“Yeah, it would be fucking awesome!” Fives exclaimed enthusiastically

“Fives! Rookie can still hear!” Y/N chided

Fives awoke to Y/N’s gentle voice.

Sunlight streamed in onto Y/N’s King sized bed.

Rookie was hiding somewhere underneath the white duvet.

“Hmm...I wonder where my little Rookie went?”

The Porg squawked playfully as Y/N lifted up the duvet. It jumped out from under the duvet and back into her lap. Y/N giggled, petting Rookie.

“Good morning, darling.” Fives groggy voice sounded

Y/N practically begged Anakin and Obi Wan to give the 501st and 212st legions a break. After much convincing and blackmail, they finally agreed.

She leaned over, placing a kiss on his cheek. “Good mornin dear. Could you go make us some coffee?”

He stood, stretching out his tired arms. A yawn left his lips, soon replaced by a smile. “Of course.”

It was on that Sunday that they did nothing but cook, eat, and love.

“Fives..I know you aren’t going to like what I’m about to say-”

“You wanna break up with me, don’t you?”

“No, dumbass...”

“Then what is it?”

“I think that we need to let Rookie go. He hasn’t been back in the wild for over 4 months now...as much as I love our boy, we can’t keep him.”

Fives eyes filled with tears, as did Y/N’s. Rookie looked up at his fake parents then waddled over. With a nudge against Fives arm, he was picked up and placed back into his helmet.

“You’re right Y/N. We will just have to make new ones to replace ol’ Rookie over here.”

“Fives I swear to Maker-”

He silenced her with a passionate kiss. “I’m just joking. For now.”

“When are we going back to his home planet?”

“Soon, I think. A few days?”

“Well, we will just have to make these last few days count, huh Rookie?”

The Porg mewled sleepily in reply.

Y/N and the rest of the 501st stood at the edge of the forest.

“I still can’t believe you guys waited this long to tell us about Rookie!” Echo said

Y/N and Fives stood sadly, leaning against each other. Their eyes were glossy as they looked down at their son.

“Are you guys crying?” Hardcase inquired

“No!” they defended in sync

Rookie sensed their discomfort. He mewled, shifting in Y/N’s palm.

“I think I see more of those guys in the distance.” Rex states

Sure enough, Rex was right. A small group of Porgs gathered at the edge, along with the Clone Troopers and Y/N.

“Well, I guess this is goodbye Rookie.” Y/N said tearfully

Lifting the Porg to her cheek, it affectionately nuzzled against her. Fives was up next for saying his goodbye.

“Bye bye kiddo. I know you will do great things.”

“Uncle Rex, do you have anything to say?”

“Uncle Rex?” Tup inquired, face turning red from amusement

The rest of the 501st broke out into laughter. Rex sent them the best glare he could muster.

“This is why we didn’t tell you lot about Rookie!” Fives proclaimed

“Consider your Uncle titles revoked!” Y/N yelled

“Wait, we are Uncles?” Jesse spoke

“Well yeah, I am the daddy after all!” Fives said

Their goodbye ended up to be much longer than expected, as all the other clones insisted on giving him farewell wishes.

Rookie was set on the ground. He stood, cooing in a confused manner. With a gentle push, Y/N attempted to propel him forward.

“Go ahead, Rookie. We love you.”

That’s all the Porg needed to hear. He set off, scampering over to his Porg friends. Together, they began to coo a song. Y/N buried her head in Fives chest, tears threatening to pour out. The music the Porgs made was incredible. Once the song died out, Rookie gave another squawk then faded into the woods.

“I think we did pretty good as parents, Fives.”

“Me too, darling.”
