Something in Jyn's expression softens. Even if he doesn't feel the same way about her in any romantic sense, Cassian has always been such a good partner and she is still grateful that he is Rey's father.
"Of course I will." She almost tells him not to sleep on the couch because she has a feeling, but she doesn't like the majority of her feelings at the moment so she says nothing else. She leans over to kiss Rey's forehead, before pushing off the crib and moving to leave.
She scoops one of the comms off the dresser as she goes and slips out the door.
Only later does he notice that she took his comm, when he reaches for the remaining one to see if she's texted anything. Later, because the night goes on and Jyn doesn't come home.
Cassian doesn't really sleep. He dozes, trying to listen for the door opening. Rey wakes up three or four times in the night, sometimes just wanting to be held, sometimes wanting more food, and the fourth time he almost texts Jyn that Rey is at it again when the baby abruptly passes out in his arms. The only reason he doesn't go to the couch is because he doesn't want to leave Rey alone, but the thought is there.
Jyn comes home at dawn, but she doesn't come to bed. Cassian's stomach churns over and he already knows something has shifted. She comes to get Rey when it's time for him to go to work, and his goodbye feels too similar to the earlier days. Rey seems to think so too, and he tries not to flinch listening to her wailing as he leaves.
