Author's Note: Ok I know that I left you on a cliffhanger so here's the first chapter! Be excited this will have dialogue! Reviews are appreciated, but you don't have to leave one if you don't have time, or you don't really want to because you think this story stinks. This is perfectly fine with me, but know that they are appreciated and loved. Oh just FYI I was out of town this Saturday which I didn't remember until we left, so sorry for the wait. Ok I think I've kept you long enough, here's the chapter enjoy! Miss Pippin OUT!

"Master!" Anakin cried out through the noise. As much as he loved his wife, his main focus at this point was keeping Obi-Wan alive. Briefly he thought as he checked for a pulse "No please don't leave me like my mother. I don't know if I could handle another person dying in my arms!" Obi-Wan was like a father to him, losing him would be just as difficult as losing his mother, and he knew he wouldn't be able to control his emotions. Finally after moments that seemed like years, Anakin felt a faint pulse.

Quickly gathering his former master into his arms he rushed toward the exit forgetting the attackers, chaos, and even his wife. He ran towards his speeder racing past the law enforcement, and avoiding the traffic signals telling him to slow down.

The rush to the Jedi temple was a blur to Anakin. He was running on pure adrenaline, and he didn't come to himself until he reached the healers with Obi-Wan in his arms. Quickly he called out for help. A nearby healer who heard and felt his panic quickly got a stretcher for Anakin to lay Obi-Wan on, and pushed Obi-Wan towards the Intensive Care unit. Anakin followed as far as he could, but was pushed back by healers.

"I'm sorry Knight Skywalker, but you can't come back here. We've done a force scan and he must go under immediate surgery if we are to save his mobility."

"I understand," Anakin said calmly though he was screaming on the inside, "Please can you call my com when he comes out of surgery?" Sensing the desperation in him, the healer said gently:

"Of course, don't worry. Although the surgery is complicated and might take a long time, I promise to call as soon as he is out."

"Thank you" Anakin said, leaving the healers, he headed toward one of the only places where he found peace these days: Padme's penthouse.

oOo

She had seen him enter the Senate building, minutes after the attack. She had seen his panic and had felt his fear at his Master's fall, though she was not force sensitive. She also knew that Obi-Wan had protected her from an imminent death with his own body. What she didn't know was why. After the attack, all the senators had been dismissed from the senate hall. No one knew the heroic act that the famed Negotiator had done since he had been quickly removed from the scene by the Hero With No Fear.

Padme quickly made her way home replaying the scene in her mind. The chancellor had been speaking about how the Republic was doing their best to win the war, but that they had yet to capture Count Dooku when the first shot was made. Miraculously it hadn't hit anyone, but it was enough to cause panic throughout the Senate Hall.

Experience with battle had shaped Padme enough to always carry a blaster with her. Padme's first experience with battle on Naboo had been enough to convince her to always have some sort of weapon that would be sufficient in defending her. Though she had been through battle, she still felt a brief moment of fear before pushing it back getting out of her pod to go help other Senators escape. Pulling out her blaster she looked to where the first shot had come from before realizing that it was futile. Trying to shoot down the attackers would only create more chaos, besides the fact that there were too many innocents in the way. Although she didn't put the blaster away, instead keeping it with her to shoot at any threats she did discover.

Padme had noticed when Anakin and Obi-Wan had arrived, but she was occupied by trying to escort other Senators out. It all happened in a moment. She heard Anakin cry out for her to move when she felt herself being pushed out of the way by a strong somebody. It was only when she noticed Anakin's panic when she realized who had pushed her. Padme had looked down to find Anakin cradling Obi-Wan Kenobi's head in his arms, frantically feeling for a pulse. Padme had tried to make her way towards them, but had been pushed into a corridor by more frantic senators. By the time she had made her way back to where Anakin and Obi-Wan were, they had left.

It had been a long day, after being interrogated by the law enforcement; they had finally let her go home. Padme knew not to expect Anakin home, figuring that he'd be with Obi-Wan therefore she was surprised when she entered to find him sitting on their couch. Before saying anything, she was crushed by a bear hug from Anakin. Knowing how Obi-Wan had saved her life, she understood his need to hold her and returned the favor by holding him until he was ready to face her.

"Padme when I saw that bullet…" Anakin said, eyes tearing.

"Shhhh it didn't happen. I'm perfectly fine, there's no need to worry for me. I thought you'd be with Obi-Wan tonight?" Padme comforted her husband.

"I would be, but they banished me from the healers. He's going to be in surgery for hours they said." The tears in his eyes overflowed down his face. Ashamed to be crying, he turned away from Padme to hide his tears. He felt a hand on his shoulder offering silent sympathy. He grasped that hand like it was a lifeline before turning towards his wife again, burrowing his head in her shoulder. She held him knowing that he was hurting. Padme knew how that felt, knowing someone might die but unable to do anything about it. She felt it every time Anakin went on a mission. Padme lead him over to the couch just holding him, offering silent comfort knowing that no words would help him at the moment.

They both sat there like that until Anakin's comlink rang.

Author's Note: Ok how's that? You like no? Ok I know this isn't the best ending either and a short chapter, but I do not classify it as a cliffhanger. The next chapter won't be up until Thursday. I'm sorry, but you'll just have to wait to find out if Obi-Wan will be ok.
