A/N: Hey guys! So, I decided to move this chapter from the main story and decided to make a new one. In this story you'll see how Kanan adapts to his new life as a father but you'll also see how Depa and Kanan formed a strong bond and how they became mother and son.


Special Chapter

Takes place in chapter 2, Ezra's first night at Kanan's place...

After making sure Ezra was asleep, Kanan finished putting the groceries in the cupboards and in the fridge. After that, he went to his room and got changed in his night clothes. Taking care of a baby can't be hard, right? He thought and fell asleep.

Around three o'clock in the morning, he heard someone crying; he thought he was hearing things until the memories of the case came flooding into his mind and got up like a spring and went to check Ezra. "It's okay, bud. Everything is okay." He said lifting the little boy in his arms.

"Are you hungry or do you need a diaper change?" He asked.

"Let's see your diaper first, okay?" He placed Ezra in the changing table and checked the diaper, when Kanan saw Ezra's diaper was dry and clean, he took him downstairs to prepare him a bottle of milk. "I guess this will be a long week." He said and indeed it was a long week as a foster parent.


Takes place between chapters 6 and 7...

"There, all done." Kanan said after adjusting Ezra's seatbelt. "Are you ready to meet the place where daddy works?" He asked, the little boy only gave a smile.

Once they arrived at the station's parking lot, Kanan took Ezra's car seat and diaper bag and walked into the station. "Hey Kanan." An officer said.

"Hey."

"Hi Ezra."

The baby boy smiled at all the attention he was receiving from the officers and detectives. "Now, this is daddy's desk." The young detective said as he placed the car seat on the desk.

"You know he's not going to answer you, right?" Zeb asked from his desk.

Kanan rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to your uncle Zeb, I know you understand me." He said and Ezra giggled.

"What is the kid doing here, anyway?" Zeb asked.

"Mrs. Andrews and her husband went to visit their children and grandchildren, so I asked Riker if it was okay to bring him and he said yes." Kanan answered.

"Aahh." Ezra babbled and started to fuss when his dad didn't pay him attention.

"Oh…sorry Ez. Daddy's here, I'm here." He said and unbuckled Ezra from the car seat and held him closer to his chest.


An hour later, Kanan was spending some free time with Ezra in the breakroom. "Ba." The baby boy babbled and Kanan chuckled.

"You're having fun, huh?" He asked while the little boy suckled his hand and smiled at his father.

The young detective chuckled and stood Ezra on his lap. "You are a beautiful boy."

"Uh…Kanan?" Zeb asked from the doorway.

"Yeah?"

"Riker wants to see you."

"Can you take care of Ezra while I talk with Riker?" The young detective asked.

"Uh…sure." Zeb said unsure.

Kanan passed Ezra to Zeb and left. "Uh…hi kid." The older detective said to the baby boy and he smiled in return. Zeb smirked and sat the little boy on his lap. "How's Kanan as a dad?" He asked and Ezra clapped his hands and Zeb chuckled.

A couple of minutes later, Zeb placed Ezra in his car seat when he saw the baby boy trying to keep his eyes open, but as soon as Zeb left him in the car seat, Ezra started to fuss.

"Oh, no! What did I do?" Zeb asked freaking out, and then Ezra started to cry. "Hey kid, calm down, please?"

Kanan is going to kill me. He thought and took Ezra in his arms and started rocking him until he was fast asleep. The older detective sighed in relief when he heard a chuckle and turned around seeing Kanan leaning on the doorway. "You're pretty good with kids." The young detective said.

"How long you were there?"

"Long enough."

"And you didn't do anything?"

"He calmed down as soon as you started to rock him, so I wanted to see how you dealt with it."

Zeb raised an eyebrow and sighed. "I thought the kid didn't like me." He answered.

Kanan smiled. "When he doesn't like people, he fusses and squirms and starts to cry when he doesn't see me around, but he calmed down as soon as you took him. He likes you."

Zeb smiled and looked down at the sleeping baby boy in his arms. "Can I spoil him? You know, since I'm his godfather."

Kanan smirked. "Leave that job to me." He said. "You can spoil him when I'm not around."

Zeb smiled. "Sweet." Both men heard a knock on the door and turned around.

"Hey, I hate to interrupt, but we have a case." Kallus said.

"I'll go." Zeb answered and handled Ezra to Kanan, but the young detective shook his head. "You stay, I'll go."

Zeb eyes went wide. "What?" He asked confused. "What if the kid wakes up or is hungry or needs a diaper change?" He asked.

Kanan rolled his eyes and smirked. "There are three clean bottles in his diaper bag, along with the formula and some mashed fruit and vegetables he's starting to eat. The kettle is over there; just make sure the water is not too hot or too cold. The diapers are also in the diaper bag as well as the wet wipes and the baby powder."

Zeb nodded and left. The rest of the afternoon, Zeb and Ezra bonded. The older detective was glad to have an extended family.
