Baze and Chirrut are betrothed to each other- that, Baze can handle. Chirrut isn't a bad guy, and as they near the age they're meant to be wed, they actually become pretty good friends. But then, Baze learns of his other duties- Like bearing a child, in times when the temple has few new children. (Let's say this is a few years before order 66, so there aren't near as many orphans) Baze freaks out about this- It isn't fair of them to tell him he isn't doing his fair share unless he conceives for Chirrut. Chirrut tries to talk him into it, and Baze flees the planet.
Years later, he comes back, after hearing that Chirrut was blinded. He figures he has a little responsibility for him, as his former fiance, and he doesn't really feel a blind man can bend him to his whim. Except Chirrut is managing well, all things considered, and he never wanted Baze to be under his control, anyways. What he wanted from Baze was purely out of love, and he would have stood up for his right to not bear children, if he had declined. They get married, but Baze always wonders what his life could have been if he stayed.
++After Scarif, Baze tentatively asks Chirrut if he would still consider a child +++Chirrut has the same ability to be impregnated as Baze, so it makes him even more angry that he's arbitrarily the one chosen to rear children (but realistically, it's because they've all watched Baze nurture, and he would make a good mom) ++++Other guardians who were picked to have babies were envious of Baze, for getting to have Chirrut's babies. Possibly vice versa for the guardians who get to be the dads. ('He's devoted. He'll be a good mother for you' and then they catch Chirrut's hands)
