"Why did you buy so much stuff?"

Ahsoka smiled as she watched her master carry many of the shopping bags(as in all of them, at least thirty) of all the things she bought at the many stores in the underground of Courasant.

After Ahsoka was accused wrongly of a murder case, in which Barrius was the true assassin of the scene, she left for awhile but decided to come back. In which Anakin greatly was overjoyed of her return.

Now though, he kind of didn't like spending his money on all the things Ahsoka bought, he barley even knew what she got, he lost track after the three foot knife.

"Cause with spending your money why not? Besides while hiding here, I never got to see the many great shops around here."

Anakin sighed as he checked his comm from the corner of his eyes as he lifted the bags now realizing it was super heavy, "Well times up, we got to go apparently the council wants to speak with us."

He turned to see Ahsoka sigh, "Fine...but after this one more store."

Anakin was about to retort when they both stopped to hear a cry and not just any, a baby cry.

They both looked at each other, knowing without words they had to find out what was going on, cause judging from the sound of the crying it was serious.

"You get the bags back at the ship and bring it here, I'll go see what's going on." Anakin opened his mouth but Ahsoka already left leaving him to mentally sweat drop before heading back to the ship.

Meanwhile Ahsoka tracked down the crying to see in a dark, abandoned alleyway a baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket, on him a note in one of his chubby, tiny hands as she picked him up gently trying to calm him down.

"Shh shh don't cry now it's ok your safe now." But he won't stop crying making Ahsoka groan, "Ugh, where's Padme when I need her?"

She already knew of Anakin and Padme being secretly married, and seeing Padme read a ton on babies(kind of shown what was coming-she thought at that time), so somehow she knew how to calm this baby down.

"Ahsoka what...?!" She sighed turning to her master coming over now empty handed gazing upon the baby bundle in her hand, "Ahsoka what did you do? Have you been secretly hiding this boy as your son?"

Ahsoka's cheeks went red as she slapped him on the arm with the one hand she handed the note, "Anakin...of course not I'm not you! I just found this boy abandon here, and with a note."

She handed him the note before looking back at the baby who was still crying, gazing now on his pale, tan skin, his sea blue, shaggy hair, but most of all his electrifying blue eyes that seemed to glow as if as he looked upon her in tears.

Anakin crumpled the note and stuffed it in his pocket before putting a hand on Ahsoka's shoulder, "Come on Snips we better go, we can't be more late as we already are."

Ahsoka turned to him coldly holding the boy tight, "We can't just leave uh..." She turned to the boy then back at Anakin, "You didn't happen to find his name on the note did you?"

He nodded not looking once at the boy , "His name is Ezra Bridger."

Ahsoka nodded, "We can't abandon Ezra Anakin, he's alone and until his parents come back..."

"Their dead."

Ahsoka's eyes went wide, even Ezra now after all this stopped crying as he whimpered a bit like a lost dog.

"What? Anakin how do you know for sure?"

He didn't look at her as they walked back to the hover ship which was waiting for them along with R2 and the many shopping bags, "I quickly scanned the note and it said, they won't come back for him so it's best we leave him till someone comes and..."

Ahsoka stopped as Anakin got on the ship, clutching tightly on Ezra as he was wrapped in his blanket gazing on Anakin.

She looked up at him coldly, "Till what Anakin? Till someone kills him?! Till someone throws him away like garbage?! Anakin we can't leave him, think for a second...would you have wanted Obi-wan to have abandon you back on Tatooine? Just leave you as you were until someone would kill you or even put aside like trash?"

He looked at his padwan and frowned, his eyes seemed clouded remembering those times on Tatooine. He then looked down at Ezra who still had his eyes on him, and actually smiled, despite him abandoning him.

He then sighed, "Fine we'll bring him back, but if anyone ask why your to blame."

Ahsoka smiled as she got in the back holding Ezra tight, "Your the best Skyguy!"

He sighed, "Yeah best at keeping even more secrets to everyone way to go me."

He could sense her rolling her eyes, "Oh calm down, let's just drop him off at Padme's, go to the meeting, then come back to Padme's place and figure this out."

She then keep going on and on of the many things she wanted to do with Ezra. I guess I couldn't blame her, like me she is a orphan and never saw a actual baby until now, after all most younglings were at least six when they came to the temple so no baby time for us.

I just sighed as I concentrated as much as I could on driving, Padme was pregnant so I guess this was ok, why not get practice early?

"Beep boop boop!" I gazed slightly at R2 who seemed to be in a jam with Ezra. He was grabbing onto R2's robotic hands and sucking on them like a pacifier, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha seems like he likes you too buddy."

R2 just beeped a bunch of ugly language, and since Ezra couldn't understand, understandable, but Ahsoka, who seemed not to know that, stood up a bit and whacked R2 in the head shouting at him, "Language!"

I shook my head as we were on our way to Padme's, this day just got a bit more exciting.

'Well,' I thought, 'Isn't like any other day.'
