POV: Ahsoka Tano-Skywalker
For two weeks, I did not go anywhere. I stayed in the dorm, only getting up from the bed to use the refresher. Barriss ended up having to stay with me for those two weeks, to make sure I ate. She had to force me to eat.
"Ahsoka, you have to eat better," she scolded as I refused to eat.
I pushed the bowl of soup out of her hands, and it hit the wall, splashing.
"I don't want to eat!"
"Do you want to die, Ahsoka?"
"What's the point of living? Anakin's dead," I moaned.
"Ahsoka! Think of Crystal! She needs her mother!"
I groaned, realizing that Barriss had a good point with that. I couldn't just give up and die, because I and Anakin's daughter needed a mother even more than ever now that Anakin was dead.
"Damn it Barriss. You're right."
I punched the bedside table, tearing my hands bloody. Barriss winced.
"Ahsoka! I'll go get some bacta," she said, kissing my forehead.
She headed into the refresher. I started to sob.
"Oh, Anakin. I miss you so much," I groaned, "why did you have to die?"
Barriss returned and saw me sobbing.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Ahsoka," Barriss said sympathetically, as there was a knock on the window.
Barriss looked and smiled. I turned my head and peered out. Rex was hovering outside with his helmet tucked under one arm. Barriss opened the window, allowing the captain in.
"Hey, Barriss. I came as soon as I could."
Barriss and Rex stole a quick kiss.
"So, what happened, Barriss," the captain asked quietly.
"Well, Rex, remember the attack on the temple three weeks ago?"
"Yes."
"Well, Senator Padme Amidala and Count Dooku led the assault."
"Senator Amidala?"
"Yes. Apparently she's a Sith. Don't worry. It was a shock to me as well. Anyway, during the battle, Master Skywalker was slain. He and Ahsoka were married. In fact, they have a baby daughter named Crystal Tano-Skywalker."
"What do you want me to do, Barriss?"
Obi-wan came in as Barriss explained her wishes to Rex.
"How are you doing, Ahsoka?"
"Horrible," I snapped.
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
"Unless you can bring Anakin back from the dead, no," I yelled.
"I know you're not doing well, but the council wishes to speak with you, Ahsoka. Do you feel like going?"
"No. But I probably should."
I got up and headed for the council chambers.
