“The girls were great,” Goose smiled softly as he took a seat, holding onto his coffee, “it was nice to see Star again, even though I suppose being 16 she probably won’t be visiting again unless she’s from my future and we find the lab she was created in,”

Star had been very vague about how she had been found but he supposed he would find out soon enough if it was the same timeline.

Goose took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.

“I …well I …speaking of labs …I …I found out Commander Walsh, I mean my CO …is my father,” his cheeks felt wet and he realised to his horror that he had started crying.

He never cried and here he was blinking back tears talking about Walsh.
