In An Instant
On the far away planet of Tatooine…
Shmi Skywalkers body heaved as she prepared to give birth to a son, she did not know how, but some how she knew that it was male.
//But he will be a slave!// She thought //perhaps I should kill it before it has to go through so much misery...//
In the Jedi Temple on Courucant….
"Good morning Master, time for morning meal" 14 year old Obi-Wan Kenobi said with a yawn.
"Good morning Padawan, you're hungry as usual! How did the practice duel with Bant go?"
As the two continued on there way discussing various things the force stirred around them, neither Jedi could detect it yet, but something was about to happen, something that would change everything, forever…
"You have a son!" The mid wife declared, "Tomorrow I will take him to get a transmitter placed in his body," she dropped her eyes, "Its not that I want too,but my children also need a mother."
Shmi nodded,"I know, thank you, I just wish, not for me but-"
"Wishing, never give up wishing Shmi, never, and never let your son, let him dream for a better life. What are you going to name him, by the way?"
"I- I don't know, something with meaning, something with hope…"
The same instant on Curuscant….
"Remember, when you are facing an opponent-" Qui-Gon stopped suddenly, a look of amazement on his face.
"Master, What's wro-" Obi-Wan stopped suddenly as well.
"What in the galaxy was that?" Qui-Gon Jin said, after getting over the shock of whatever that was.
"Something horrible, evil, the darkside," Obi-Wan Kenobi said, still in shock staring straight ahead,"But yet there is good, kindness, love…But an evil, so much hate…
Back on Tatooine…
"Now what is your name little one?" Shmi Skywalker asked her new son
//I can't kill him, even though he will have to go through anguish he will always know that he is loved, always//
The baby cooed softly, there was something about him, something different, it was on the edge of Shmi's mind but she couldn't figure it out, something told her that maybe she didn't want to know.
"Anakin, It means giver of life, how do you like that, Ani?" She asked lifting him into the air.
He giggled and it looked as if he was nodding.
//But of course he was only a few hours old and couldn't understand what she was saying// Shmi thought //but still it looked as though...//
She put it out of her mind.
Back on Curuscant…
"Feel this the rest of the council did not," Yoda told Qui-Gon and young Kenobi.
"But how could they not? It was amazing! It would be impossible not to!" Obi-Wan Kenobi said shocked.
"Calm, Obi-Wan, but I agree, how could they not?" His master said quietly.
"Felt this I did, from far away it did come, the outer rim, perhaps."
"Why did it only effect the three of us?" Kenobi wondered outloud.
"Effects us it does because in the future has to do with us it will."
"But how-"
"We don't know yet, Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon spoke for both himself and Yoda," We will wait and when the time comes, we will know.
Tatooine…
"Good-night my Anakin. Dream away…
