AN: This story is the sequel to my story The Princess and the Padawan. Because of the fact that this story is highly AU, it would be a good thing to read that one first. I hope you enjoy this!
The Knight And His Queen
Chapter 1
When Obi-Wan Kenobi remembered his younger days as a Jedi Padawan, oftentimes he would be surprised at how dramatically life changed when you least expect it. There was a time when all Obi-Wan knew was being a Jedi, and following the Code. He never would have strayed from it either if it wasn't for the Princess of Solera, Siri Tachi. She changed his views on life and love and they truly became soul mates meant for each other.
They overcame many threats to their relationship and came out of it better people. Obi-Wan married Siri, despite the disproval of the Jedi Order and Siri's parents. Sometimes Obi-Wan found it hard to believe that he even got out of that situation, for he believed at the time that things were so incredibly hopeless. As Obi-Wan looks at his life now, he saw clearly how miracles can happen when you rely on the Force.
"Father!" exclaimed a child's voice, interrupting Obi-Wan's musings.
The Jedi turned his attention to look at his daughter, who in so many ways reminded him of her mother. "Yes Adi, what is the matter?" he asked patiently.
"Ral-Gon made fun of me!" the little girl wailed.
Obi-Wan sighed; he never would've imagined that parenthood could be so trying. Then he sensed someone eavesdropping from the doorway and without looking up, he spoke to the intruder.
"Ral-Gon, you must stop making fun of your sister," he said sternly. "Jedi never pick on ones younger than them," he reprimanded gently.
"Sorry, Father," Ral-Gon said.
"Yes, son, but it isn't me who you need to ask forgiveness," Obi-Wan continued.
Ral-Gon understood his father's meaning and turned to his sister. "Sorry Adi," he said.
"You're forgiven," Adi answered, grinning.
At that very moment the front door opened. Obi-Wan looked up, and broke into a smile to see his wife of ten years standing there.
"Mom, you're home!" Ral-Gon declared as he and his sister pounced on Siri, hugging her around the knees.
"Yes, it's good to see you both again too," Siri said chuckling.
"I missed you!" little Adi declared.
"I missed you too Adi. Now, did you both obey your father while I was gone?" Siri asked, glancing up at Obi-Wan and smirking.
"Yes," the two of them chimed in.
Siri reached into her robes and pulled out two small packages. "Well, if you were good then I have presents for you," she said and handed the gifts to the kids. For each there was a new holo. Both of them excitedly hugged and thanked their mother before rushing out of the room to go and show their friends.
Obi-Wan's lips were quirked in a smile as he moved towards Siri. "Spoiling the children again, I see," he said.
"Oh, Obi-Wan, don't be such a stick in the swamp. A present won't make their commitment to the Jedi any less," Siri replied, rolling her eyes.
"Yes, but you know what the Order's standing on possessions is," Obi-Wan answered.
"I also know what their standing on attachments used to be," Siri said, trying not to laugh.
"You're impossible you know," Obi-Wan said, irritated.
"I do," Siri replied. "And that is why you love me." Obi-Wan growled in frustration, but then the next moment his lips met hers in a soft kiss. He hated it when she was right.
