He's so worried she's going to leave. It's an idle thought that lingers the whole time he changes Sofia's diaper, while he hums softly to her until she falls back asleep. The whole thing doesn't take much longer than ten minutes or so, because the baby really is a very good sleeper.
Cassian comes back into his own room, and finds a wave of relief rolling over him when he sees Jyn is still there. She's tidied up, which worries him a little because she doesn't usually care about that sort of thing. She's dressed again, so he tugs a t-shirt on too and walks a little slowly over to the bed while he tries to figure out what he wants to say.
"Thank you." That's a good start. He climbs into bed beside her, sitting up against the headboard. Thank you, for not leaving yet, for helping with his daughter, for the very enjoyable if quick make out.
But what if that's it? What if she's realized what involving herself with him to that level really means and she doesn't really want it? He would understand, but it's still anxious to think about it. He really does want her to stay in his life this time. "I am sorry. I have not - I have not had anyone over, since she was born. I don't know how to navigate it well."
