Annual Clone reunion
“Are we there yet?” Jesse whined from the back of the speeder. He was restless from sitting in the transport from Coruscant to Naboo and then now more sitting in the rental speeder.
“We’ll get there when we get there.” Kix replied to his oldest. He was ready to be done with the travel portion of the trip as well.
“Jesse, why don’t you, Kaia, and Louise play a game?” Kix’s wife suggested. Thankfully that placated the whiny kids for now.
An hour later they arrived at Vale Island, a private retreat owned by Padmé Amidala-Skywalker. She had converted it into a retreat for clone soldiers, with numerous cabins being build to rent out. Anakin had reserved one that had enough rooms to accommodate the group that was arriving for a relaxing reunion. It happened to fall on Life Day, so instead of just making it for the guys, they invited families.
“Oh, look who has finally arrived!! Time to start doing dumb shit!” Fives announced once the medic and his family walked in the cabin.
“Well Anakin has already choked on an olive, so I think the dumb stuff has already started.” Obiwan said from a lounge chair, Anakin avoided his gaze.
Wolffe and his crew arrived while Kix was herding his kids towards the rooms upstairs.
“Grandpa Plo!!” The three girls squealed as they charged towards Plo Koon, who hugged all of them tightly.
“Oh! You’re wearing the shirt we made you!!” Fern pointed out, Plo proudly wearing his “Cool Grandpa” shirt that was a birthday present earlier in the year.
“Kix just got here with his kids.” Plo told the Commander, who looked visibly relieved.
“Hear that, you can play outside with your cousins!” Wolffe’s wife said. Just as she said that, there was the sound of kids running down stairs. Kix greet Wolffe and the two wives hugged.
“Oh, did you find out what you’re having?” Kix’s wife asked Wolffe’s.
“Girl number 4!” Wolffe’s wife announced. The two women squealed.
Within an hour, Jesse and Fives had arrived with their families, all the children playing together. Fives’s son Darr hung out with Kix’s son Jesse and Jesse’s son Kasen. Kaia and Wolffe’s daughters all climbed up into a tree house.
Sinker and Boost arrived, Wolffe breaking off from the 501st squad to spend time with his brothers. They all considered each other brothers, but there were some they were closer to than others.
Cody showed up later in the afternoon, followed by Echo and Rex. Their spouses joining the crew of women that had commandeered the comfortable swings and rocking chairs on the large, wrap-around front porch.
“Did Anakin already choke on something?” Cody asked when he and Echo walked in.
“Yup.” Obiwan and Padmé replied in unison.
“Damn.” Cody muttered.
“Pay up.” Echo held out his hand for the 5 credits Cody had lost.
The day wore on nice and slow, the children had paired off into groups. Louise was the youngest child present, she stuck close to her father Kix.
“I swear, all the kids love Kix more than me.” Kix’s wife, Coruscant Detective Holtz lamented. She of course knew they loved her too.
“Well, Jesse is hanging out with my Jesse and Kasen, so that should be interesting.” Jesse’s wife commented. As if on cue, the girls in the treehouse screamed and Jesse, Kasen, and older Jesse came bolting from that direction with grins on their faces.
“We just threw water balloons at the girls!” Kasen yelled to his mom.
“This means WAR!!!!” Fern, one of Wolffe’s daughters yelled savagely.
Fives’s son Darr was down at the beach front by the house with Rex’s sons Gregor and Orvin. The women kept a close eye on them, but Rex and Fives soon joined the boys at the beach.
“Don’t go out too far, okay boys? That’s far enough Gregor.” Rex said to the boy as he stood in water to his mid-calf. The weather was nice and mild, the overall temperature was comfortable but perhaps too cold to swim.
Sarion sat on the steps, reading a holozine, when four girls approached her.
“Want to join us in getting your brother and cousins with water balloons?” Fern asked, she wanted a good number of recruits. Her two sisters, Mira and Jailyn, stood behind her with Kaia.
“Yeah okay.” Sarion shrugged. She hadn’t been hit with a balloon but Kasen did purposely annoy her on the trip over. Thus began an epic water balloon fight between the children and one adult.
“About you using my kid as a human shield.” Fives shook his head at Jesse later. The other ARC Trooper just shrugged.
That evening after dinner, the group all gathered around the large fire pit in the backyard of the cabin. Louise examined Jesse’s wife’s lekku, the other children roasted marshmallows.
“Ew Uncle Fives, why do you burn yours like that?” Kaia asked Fives as the clone blew out the flaming marshmallow.
“Because I like them super gooey!” He replied.
“Ooooooo!!” Kaia exclaimed once she saw all the melted sugar, quickly shoving her marshmallow back into the fire.
“Anakin, it’s going to take forever for yours to roast like that.” Padmé said as her husband gently cooked his marshmallow.
“I’m trying to get it perfectly browned.” The Jedi replied, concentrating. Padmé watched him with a pitying expression.
“So that’s where Rex gets it?” Rex’s wife spoke up, as her husband was doing the same thing.
“No, I’m just not a savage like those two.” Rex gestured to Fives and Jesse. Anakin laughed.
“Anakin, your marshmallow.” Obiwan spoke up.
“Nooooo!” Anakin whined, holding up his marshmallow that was now on fire and blackened to a crisp.
Once the kids had all been tucked into bed, the men gathered in the living room while the women sat on the front porch. There was a pop and a chorus of soft cheering, Fives turning to look.
“Oh damn, Padmé is getting our ladies boozed up.” A couple guys laughed, but a few sat quietly.
“Did any of you think we’d have this?” Wolffe spoke up. “Wives and kids?”
“Well, Sinker and Boost are still bachelors. Do either of you have kids?” Jesse asked.
“None that we know of.” Sinker laughed.
“Same! I don’t have time for kids.” Boost added.
“But, I get what you mean Wolffe. And no. If it wasn’t for Fives and Kix, none of us would have this.” Jesse said, seriously. Fives had discovered the plot with the inhibitor chips, and Kix had confirmed their existence with medical scans and digging into classified Kaminoan files.
The group sat in silence for a bit? Enjoying the gentle laughter happening outside. Knowing that their futures were safe and sleeping upstairs. They shared moments from the last couple weeks, what they’re planning to do. They shared memories with each other, finding ways to remember the good times with men who have since passed.
After two hours, the women came inside. They each gave their husbands a kiss and said they were heading to bed. The guys followed suit a little later. Each checking on their kids beforehand.
“Wait! Can you tell Tevyn goodnight?” Darr asked his father.
“Goodnight Tevyn.” Fives replied, shutting the door quietly behind him.
“Who’s Tevyn?” Cody asked.
“Darr’s imaginary friend, which the wife says is normal at his age…but, I don’t know…it’s creepy.” Fives whispered.
“Why?” Cody asked.
“Well, this one time we were walking passed a cemetery and Darr said Tevyn lives there.” Fives confessed.
“Oh yeah, that’s creepy as fuck.” Cody agreed.
“Right!! Still want kids after that?” Fives teased Cody. The Commander shuddered.
That evening as Kix laid awake, he listened to the silence. This was perfect. His brothers around him, their families, his kids, his wife. Life was perfect.
“Daddy?” Kaia’s voice whispered from the doorway.
“Yeah baby?” Kix whispered back.
“Can I sleep with you and mom? Jesse is snoring.” Kix gave a small laugh, scooting over in the bed.
“Of course sweetie.”
