"I can't let you do this." Mira warned. "Padme is pregnant. This is the last thing she needs."

"The last thing she needs is to come into contact with a power hungry Sith who killed her husband." Obi-Wan retorted.

"He's not dead. There is still good in him. I know it. You believed in me…why don't you believe in him?" she asked.

"You were not given a choice. You were controlled like a puppet. Anakin, he made these decisions of his own free will. He let the dark side invade his being."

"No! You never understood him and you don't now. He lost his mother because he wasn't there to save her…he's always had a fear of losing Padme because he wouldn't be powerful enough to save her. The Chancellor preyed on that. It's not his fault." she pleaded.

"He was overly emotional and too hard himself despite everyone around him trying to help. These are flaws that he could have dealt with differently." Obi-Wan said.

Mira could feel the boiling pit in her stomach starting to spread through her entire body. She force reached for his lightsaber and it landed in her hand, blade ignited.

"Mira, what are you doing?" he asked cautiously.

"I'm consciously making this decision. Am I a lost cause now too?" she hissed.

She lunged at him with the blade, he jumped out of the way.

"You can't do this Obi-Wan. They are going to be a family. You'll be taking a father away from an innocent child. He loves Padme. Let her go talk some sense into him. He would never hurt her."

"And if he does? If he in his anger kills her and their poor child?" he said.

"No! He would never. Ani is good." she took a swing, but he ducked and caught her by the hand.

"Anger does terrible things to good people." he stared at her. "I have failed the both of you."

The lightsaber switched off.

"Do you remember the first night of your possession?" he asked.

She didn't. She only remembered waking up on the floor of Anakin's quarters alone.

"No." she said.

He brought her hands gently down to her sides and let go.

"I felt true anger that night and lust and I did something terrible." he said.

Her cheeks grew hot.

"You were alternating between terrified and belligerent until the total take over happened. I didn't know what to do with you and i couldn't go to the council. Staring into your soulless eyes, not being able to see a trace of you inside made me feel simply mad. So I took you to Anakin and asked him to watch you while I ran to the record room to do some research" he said.

"I returned to find you and Anakin partially clothed and engaging in mouth to mouth activity on his bed." he said.

Mira was embarrassed. Anakin had never mentioned this to her.

"Although I assumed that it had happened between you two on several occasions, that time, when I saw it, I became very jealous." he said. "I lashed out at Anakin for the first of what would be many times over you."

"Me?" she asked.

"Yes. I would find another reason and cover it well, but whenever I felt that you two were getting too close I would take it out on him."

"But you knew about Padme." she said.

"I had my theories, but that was love. I couldn't have love. He had with you what I wished I could have with you."

"You could have had it Master."

"No I couldn't…because I knew you loved me and it wouldn't be right." he said, "but that night after I sent Anakin away as punishment…you turned your sights to me." he said, "the Sith knew what it was doing. It wanted to break me and it did."

"You stroked my hair and kissed my neck and my restraint snapped." he said. "I felt hypnotized. I threw you on Anakin's bed and had my way with you. It wasn't until the real you broke through for a moment and begged for me to help you that I fully realized what I had done."

"I felt so sick that I threw up. You started to battle against them shortly after and I tried to comfort you and keep you still as your thrashed about on the floor until you fell asleep. I felt myself wanting to kiss you again and that was when I realized that I loved you and I had just been fighting it for ages."

"Master.."

"I will never forgive myself for how I acted. I felt the dark side that night and I gave in for a brief moment."

Mira wanted him to shut up. She didn't need to hear anymore. He loved her and he wanted her, that was all she wanted to know.

"You hypocrite." Mira spat. "You're going to stop lecturing and listen to me for once."

She threw his lightsaber to the floor and force pushed him against a wall.

"I know you care for us, but here is the truth Master. You are not very good at it." She said.

"Your version of caring is controlling and trying to make decisions for us...but you don't even know how to make the right decisions for yourself." She continued.

"Mira-"

She pushed him and held him there.

"I said shut up." She hissed.

"You try so hard to be perfect and follow all of the rules in the book to the letter which is great...but we are humans Obi-Wan. It is in our nature to feel emotion. No matter how hard you try to shut them off...you can't."

She looked away from him.

"This is where I don't agree with the Jedi Order. I mean look where it has gotten us. Just the three of us. Anakin was so full of love and emotion that you fluffed off like it was nothing. You knew about his mother and you knew about Padme but what did you do? What did the whole order do? Pretend it wasn't happening instead of accepting it and helping him work through his problems. Me? I lost my mother, I had to beg to be trained and when I fell in love with my master what did he do? Condemned me for it every step of the way."

Obi-wan opened his mouth to speak again, but bit his tongue.

"Anakin and I found comfort in each other because we readily accepted our emotions when we were around each other and tried to help each other work through them. You were jealous? You could have been a part of it! But what did you do instead? You kept yourself locked up so tight that when the opportunity for true happiness came your way...you rejected me even though you knew you wanted me. And then how did it finally manifest itself? By you taking advantage of me when I wasn't in control of my own body. Do you see what I'm getting at Obi wan?"

Still pinning him against the wall, Mira stepped toward him.

"You indulged in the dark side because you couldn't be honest with yourself about your feelings and now you want to take Anakin life because you think you know what's best for him? Best for Padme and their baby? No. You need to meditate on this and look at yourself before you decide you know what's best for anyone."

She let him go.

"But who am I to be telling you about your life? I'm just the idiot who still loves you after finding out you took advantage of me."

Mira couldn't look at him and left the room. Obi-Wan was left alone in shock, with a million thoughts flooding his mind.
