"Rena!" Obi-Wan yelled as he raced by startled droids and knelt by his wife's bedside. "Are you all right?"

"You always assume the worst, Obi-Wan," she chided with a gentle smile.

"What happened?" he asked anxiously, while stroking her cheek. "I came as soon as I got C-3PO's message. . ."

Gently, Rena moved her blanket to reveal a sleeping infant at her side,

"Meet your daughter, Arianne Kenobi."

Obi-Wan could only stare in stunned silence at the girl.

"Come on, she doesn't bite, at least I hope not," Rena giggled.

He tenderly took the girl in his arms. "Arianne, most pure."

"Excuse me, Master Obi-Wan, I am so sorry for interrupting, but that confounded idiot R2 insists Master Yoda is calling for you," repeated C-3PO apologetically.

" I am not-" he began, but Rena cut him off.

"Obi-Wan, you must go to your Master. I am fine and there is nothing more you can do here."

"But," he started again, and did not finish.

" No buts, GO NOW."

Obi- Wan sighed and instructed C-3PO to prepare to leave. Then he kissed Rena and Ari and hurried out of the room.

Rena smiled and lifted the baby into her hands. "Little Ari, I know someday you will be a hero in the galaxy-,"

Suddenly a group of stormtroopers marched in and began blasting droids.

"You did not believe droids would keep me away, did you, Lady Rena?" a cold, cruel voice asked.

"Darth Vader, you evil mon-"

"Enough," he stated unemotionally, then he wrapped his invisible hand around her throat. "Tell me were Obi-Wan is."

"Never," she managed to choke out.

"Very well then." Vader removed his hand, and she fell backward dead.

He then proceeded to leave the room, but stopped, hearing a baby crying. He treaded back to Rena and unemotionally threw her dead body in a corner.

His eyes landed on Arianne.

"Hmm, Obi-Wan's offspring. . . The Force is strong with this child. . .

It could be a great ally of the Dark Side."
