isn't mine (though I'll keep wishing! Hayden, call me!!)
A/N: Just a quick story for some fun. Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers of my past stories (Broken Hearts, Shattered Dreams and Rebuilding from the Ashes). This isn't a sequel, but maybe I'll get around to writing one someday (or a prequel as someone had mentioned). So, hello to all you old readers, hello to all you new readers, and enjoy!!

Married. Anakin Skywalker had gone against everything the Jedi had given and taught him, and he'd gotten married. The guidelines to being a Jedi were firm in prohibitions, and Anakin has surpassed them. This left Obi-Wan feeling the shame and guilt of having lost his padawan, the Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force.
"Master, please, let me explain…." Anakin attempted futilely. Obi- Wan stared at him, his face passive, and his mind still reeling from Anakin's confession.
"It is out of my hands, Anakin. I will inform the Council, and they will decide what is to be your fate." Obi-Wan replied softly and turned on his heal to slowly walk away. He felt the need to meditate, to learn what mistake he'd made in the training of his apprentice. He had always tried his hardest to be like Qui-Gon, but Anakin was not the same Padawan that Obi-Wan had been. Anakin had more potential than he had, but was also firmly ingrained with emotions that Jedi had been taught to resolve. He had been too old to train, and Obi-Wan too young to teach. Still, it was difficult for Obi-Wan to absorb the immensity of his failure. He couldn't accept that he'd failed so incredibly. He needed to meditate, he needed to escape.
Anakin watched his Master turn his back and walk away. He'd known all along that Obi-Wan would be disappointed in him, and he had dreaded telling him, but he knew it was the right thing to do. In some ways, he'd hoped that Obi-Wan would yell at him, would scream and show emotion, but instead Obi-Wan had listened to his explanation, told him what he would do and left. He didn't comfort the fallen Jedi or try to talk him out of his decision, he had just left. The agony Anakin felt was beyond anything that he'd felt before, and he felt his eyes begin to tear as his Master, his father, turned his back on him.
Was it a mistake? Was following his heart, and loving another, a mistake? He knew it would have him expelled from the order, and he knew it was likely the end of his Jedi career, but would the Council let a Rogue Jedi go so easily, especially the Chosen One? What would happen to him, to his wife, now that they'd gone against the vows of the Jedi? Would Anakin ever be as happy?
Anakin slowly slid to the floor, leaning against the wall and burying his head in his hands to sob at what he'd done. He loved Padme, and living without her was torture. He'd made the supreme sacrifice for her, his dream, but was it worth it? As he sobbed in the Temple Hallways, he questioned everything he'd ever done.
