Running fast, wide eyes, fast breathing. You could tell Mace was in a hurry. He had gotten a call from Obi-Wan saying to meet him at his quarters saying it was an emergency. He knew he wasn't hurt but the real question was… Why was he asking him for help? Normally he would ask Anakin for help when there was a problem. Mace Windu sighed I wonder what they got into this time. He thought silently. Seeing a bright red door got Mace out of his chain of thought. Obi-Wan's quarters is the only one with a red door. So this had to be his quarters. Mace knocked on the door waiting for an answer.
"You may come in, the door is unlocked." Obi-Wan yelled.
Mace Windu opened the door to find Obi-Wan in a chair with a toddler in his lap.
A toddler? The child looked about two or three, he had a scar on the right side of his face, brownish/blonde hair, big blue eyes, and was wearing black robes.
That description sounded a lot like ….. Oh no it just can't be.
"Anakin" Mace Windu breathed out.
"Well I see you figured it out." Obi-Wan sighed
"We had a mission, but half way through it somehow he managed to get captured. I was able to find him, but I found him like this. I do not know who did it." Obi-Wan explained.
"And you need my help because…."
"Because I need you to watch him for me." Obi-Wan said simply
He needed him to what?!
"Please Mace? I cannot take him with me if I am looking for who did this." Obi-Wan pleaded
Mace sighed "Fine." He grumbled.
"You will?! Thank you." Obi-Wan shouted.
Mace went over to the chair and scooped up Anakin in his arms. Obi-Wan gently put a hand on his shoulder.
"Be good Anakin." Obi-Wan said softly
The boy just nodded before being carried away by Mace.
"Wait!" Obi-Wan called out.
Mace stopped in his tracks. What did he want now? Obi-Wan handed him a bag and a carrier.
"Here is a bag of stuff he needs, and it might be easier to carry him with a carrier."
Mace took the bag from him and put on the carrier. Slipping Anakin inside. Anakin rested his head on Mace's chest, falling asleep instantly. Mace thanked Obi-Wan before leaving his quarters. Once they were gone, Obi-Wan began to laugh loudly. The grand master looked ridiculous with a baby carrier on.
Mace Windu began to walk to his quarters. He was nervous for what was to come. He had never taken care of a child before. Mace stopped to a halt. He had just realized that he had a council meeting to go to. Mace huffed angrily. Today was not his day. He turned around and began to run in the direction of the council meeting room. Anakin didn't even stir. Mace hoped he wouldn't wake up until the meeting was over. He opened the door to the meeting room. The council members turned around to see Mace Windu, the grand Jedi master, babysitting! Some people smirked, other people chuckled, and Yoda just laughed.
Mace sighed.
This was going to be a long day.
