It is a most excellent kiss that he does not really want to end, which is why he stays close, or maybe it's because she does too. Either way, he's just glad to know they are definitely on the same page.
The way she says captain sends an unexpected shiver down his spine, even as he smiles at the sight of her smile. It's so familiar to him, so teasing and bright and full of faux innocence.
"You need to let her go in order to put her in her crib." He would also like to put his daughter to bed. He loves her snuggles and her sleepy noises, but he also very much would like to keep kissing Jyn. He pries at her arm to untuck it from around Sofia, because as much as he appreciates the break and trusts Jyn to do it, it's been a few hours since he held her, okay. He wants to settle her in bed. Her real bed. So he can get back to his bed with Jyn.
Cassian scoops her up very gently, and she makes another tiny squeak in her sleep in the transfer to his chest, but it's a happy sound and she doesn't seem bothered by the movement. He sits up slowly and her head tilts sideways, completely conked out. He looks at Jyn, and maybe some of his nerves are back. This part isn't like their youth. There was no baby then. "You can come, if you want."
But she is also very warmly burrowed into blankets, so he would not begrudge her for staying. Sofia's room is only right next door. It won't take long either way.
