challenge, "Anakin's First".
Summary: Shmi thinks about
her son's first.
If there had been a time when I dreamed of a family, I had long forgotten it. I may not have been born a slave, but the years of freedom have been pushed too far back in my memory. And so in my life of servitude, I never expected to one day bear a child. But it happened nonetheless. After nine months of alternating anticipation and worry, I finally laid eyes on my beautiful son, and named him Anakin.
My boy learned speech months later, and for his first achievement, he gladly bestowed upon me a new name.
"Mom."
