Obi-Wan or Ben Kenobi flew the ship 'One Destiny' towards the yellow of Tatooine. This was where he was going to spend the rest of his life. However, it was what he deserved. He had failed Anakin, when he turned to the darkside. When Obi-Wan failed Anakin, he failed Amidala, Qui-Gon, the Jedi Council, and the whole galaxy. Nevertheless, he would not fail little Luke. Anakin's son was the only hope for the galaxy. If Vader and Paplentine do not find him and make Luke also turn. That was why he was taking Luke to his brother and sister in-law, Owen, and Beru, to grow up and be safe.
Obi-Wan landed on the outside of Mos Espa. Then he went to the small room where baby Luke slept. Obi-Wan picked up the small child. He felted the force flowing threw the tiny baby. Luke was so much like Anakin, with his sandy blond hair, and blue eyes. Obi-Wan prayed that Luke would not be like his father in every way. He covered the child's head with the blanket that Amidala had given Luke.
Obi-Wan remembered the painful moment in which he had to take Luke from his mother. Luke had cried, and so did Amidala and Leia. He had told Amidala that Luke would be safe and that he would watch out for him. This was what he was going to do.
They were out of the ship in the middle of a huge desert. However, Obi-Wan saw a small farm in the distance.
Owen and Beru had just purchased a farm on Tatooine, when Paplentine had declared himself Emperor. They did not want to live somewhere, which he had power under. Therefore, Luke could grow up unnoticed a perfect place. Until he was the age to be train as a jedi. However, Obi-Wan was not going to tell Owen that part.
Obi-Wan had gotten to the door and knocked it. Owen answered it.
"Obi-Wan go away." He said meanly as he was about to close the door. However, Obi-Wan caught it.
"At least hear what I have to say"
"Alright," Owen said as he let Obi-Wan inside. The brothers went a small room, where Beru was.
"Hello Obi-Wan", she said with the cheerfulness that Obi-Wan remembered. Then she notices the bundle in his arms. It started to cry. Obi-Wan looked confused. He was a jedi and knew of many things, but not how to get a child to be quiet. Beru like a mother scooped the baby out of Obi-Wan's arms and rocked the child. Luke became quiet right after her touch.
"Who's?" she motion to the baby.
"Amidala's and Anakin's", Obi-Wan answered. Owen looked in horror, while Beru looked with love.
"I have a favor to ask. Will you keep the baby?" Obi-Wan asked not sure, what the answer was going to turn out to be.
"No," was all Owen said.
"But Owen this may be our finally chance to have a child to raise." Beru said to her husband. She had to have this baby. She had already fallen in love with his blue eyes and warm smile.
Owen realized that what his wife was saying was and it was true. He knew she always wanted a child to raise.
"Will Vader find him?" Owen questioned.
"No he wouldn't, it's too painful for him to come back to this planet." Obi-Wan answered.
"Does he have a name?" Beru asked next.
"Luke"
"Oh what a beautiful a name. Hello baby Luke." She said to the child in her arms. Luke cooed and smiled at Beru.
"There is one more thing. Amidala last wish was to Luke to have the name Skywalker." Obi-Wan said, "So you two would be his Aunt and Uncle".
Beru just nodded. She looked so happy. She was just about to ask Obi-Wan another question, but he was gone.
