"Snips, are you alright?" I asked her.

She nodded. "I'm fine, Ani." She did a fake yawn. "Just a bit tired." Ahsoka told me as I embraced her. Suddenly, the baby kicked which made both, Ahsoka and I, flinch away from each other by a few inches. "Whoa!" She laughed.

I hugged Ahsoka again and chuckled. "I guess someone doesn't like liars." I teased.

She arched an eyemark. "I am not a liar." Ahsoka giggled, smacking my shoulder playfully.

I shrugged. "Well," I, then, lifted her (Bridal Style). She screamed in surprise and happiness. "If you're really that tired, you, my beautiful wife, should rest. If you don't Plo would probably beat the crap out of me."

She laughed. "He wouldn't dare. Unless I'd let him. But I'll never do that to you. Ever." Ahsoka whispered, touching my cheek as I laid her in bed.

"I know that, Love." I admitted lying down as well.

She gazed outside the window, playing with my fingers after I wrapped my arms around her, eyeing the moon. I heard her sigh. "Why is the moon so… alone?" She questioned

I smiled, kissing her cheek as she began to drift to sleep.

The next morning…

Ahsoka came along with me to say goodbye at the lower landing platform. She glared down the entire time not meeting my gaze.

"Ahsoka? I sense you're uneasy. What is it?" I asked.

"Oh…uh, err…" She sighed, finally looking up. "Oh, nothing… Ani let me come with you. If I'm not with you who else would have your back?"

I gazed down to smile at her. "Stay here, be careful, get some rest."

"What if I get lonely?" Ahsoka asked, tears forming and leaving her beautiful cyan eyes.

I immediately wiped them away, embracing her afterwards. "Shh, Shh, don't cry, love." I pulled away slightly. "Just look at the moon every night. Think of me, cause I'll be doing the same thing every night."

She nodded, sniffing. Her eyes were red, swollen, and tired. "I love you, Anakin."

I hugged her again, trying to hold back the tears. "I'll see you soon, Snips. When I come back we'll have each other again. We can run away… together. Just you and I. The baby…" I promised her. "Keep the bond open, alright?"

Ahsoka nodded. "'Kay, love you."

"Love you, too, sweetheart."

Ahsoka smiled. "Get going, Ani. Obi-Wan's getting annoyed."

I burst into laughter. "Alright, see you, love." I kissed her cheek again. "I love you."

Again the tears came running down like a waterfall. "I love you, too."

I let go of her hand, slowly, (not wanting to) and headed towards the Republic Gunship. I kept my eyes locked onto her as the ship rose from the ground. "I love you!" I called back, before the ramp finally closed.
