Anakin's pov:
I came back to coruscant after a mission. My padawan had stayed in the temple this time, because she had gotten injured on our last mission and hadn't been fit enough to go with me. I hoped she was better by now, but it didn't seem like that. I could sense her. She wasn't fit and she hadn't slept last night. With a ship I flew to the temple from the landing stage we have landed with the cruisers. In the temple I headed directly to Ahsoka. I opened the door to our room and saw her sitting on the couch. Her legs up to her body, her arms wrapped around them and her head put between her knees. I came to her and noticed some tears in her eyes. She had cried. And that's the time I knew I should worry about her. I've never seen her crying before. My strong padawan didn't cry. I sat down next to her and didn't say something for the next minutes. I knew she did notice me, but she didn't care about me right now. "Ahsoka", I tried to get her attention, but she ignored it. "Ahsoka, hey, what's going on?", I asked her. She started sobbing and I wrapped my arms around her. "Ahsoka, I just want to help you, but you have to tell me what's making you so upset.", I told her again. She tried to speak a few times, but she couldn't because of her crying. "Okay, calm down first, and then try it again.", I tried to calm her down. "My, my mo...mother and my fa...father had died.", she finally said.
I was shocked and didn't know what to say, so I just held her in my arms and let her cry. "I'm so sorry, Snips. I really am. Tell me if I can help you somehow." "Just hold me.", she cried and I held her like she wanted it. "How do you know?", I asked her after a while. "I've felt it.", she answered quietly. "Is this why you couldn't sleep?" "Yeah. I've had this vision and woke up...", she started to explain, but I stopped her. I knew how painful this was for her and i didn't want her to go through it again. "It's okay, Snips, I know this feeling you have right now." "Really?", she asked me then. "Yes, really. As I was around your age my mother died and I came too late to safe her.", I told her even though it was hard. "Does the feeling go away?", she asked hopefully. "The feeling of being helpless will go away in time, Ahsoka, but you will always ask yourself what could you have done better to safe them.", I explained not wanting to lie at her. While listening to me she stopped crying and we sat there in silence after I had finished speaking. A few minutes later she yawned and I picked her up and carried her to my bed bridal style. She looked at me in confusion as I laid her down on my bed.
I laid down next to her and covered her up. "You will sleep in my arms if you want.", I said to her simply and she nodded. Smiling I wrapped one if my arm around her and she grabbed my had. "Just concentrate on your sleep and the nightmares will stay away.", I told her before she drifted into a peaceful sleep. I stayed awake not wanting Ahsoka to have another nightmare and while I hadn't anything else to do, I thought about my mother again. I was as helpless as Ahsoka is now and I will do everything to make her feel better, because I knew what she's going through now and nobody was there to help me. She shouldn't suffer as much as I did. In time I fell asleep as well and I dreamed of Ahsoka, a happy Ahsoka.
The next morning I woke up and as I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Ahsoka. She laid still in my arm exactly the way she did before I closed my eyes last night. "Are you awake?", I asked her quietly and she answered with a simple "Yes." "Did you have another nightmare? ", I wanted to know. "No, I didn't.", she answered quickly. I sat up and told her I will make breakfast for her and so I left into the kitchen.
