Secret Flame Ch.3 By. military627

The next morning Anakin awakened to the sight of the sunrise over the skyscrapers of Couriscant. It was silent and the city had not began with the usual hustle and bustle. Barriss was asleep in their soft bed. Anakin liked to wake up early and watch his lover sleep. The sun shining on her long black silky smooth hair and her lush light green skin made her look like the most beautiful thing in the entire universe. Her face tattoos were perfect with every black diamond shape across her nose and cheeks. "I am so lucky to have a partner like Barriss." he said to himself. He then got up to get ready to go to the Jedi Temple. He had just noticed the he had gotten up late again. "Obi-Wan will kill me if I show up late to the presentation again." said Anakin. He had no time to shower which meant that he had no time to wash off the smell of sex and his lovers perfume.

Later at the Jedi Temple Master Plo met Anakin at the landing platform.

"Greetings young Skywalker"said Plo as he shook Anakin's hand. "Always a pleasure to see you Master. Am I late for the presentation on the planets under attack?"asked Anakin hurriedly. "Actually you are about an hour early."replied Plo, "Anakin that is an unusual scent you are wearing. If I am not mistaken that smells like the kind of perfume Padawan Barriss Offee would wear."said Plo with great interest. Anakin thought that he had been found out. He thought that he would get expelled from the order fur sure now. A Grand Master had caught onto him. "You dirty little devils you two."Plo said as he laughed. "How did you find out about me and Barriss?"asked Anakin. "Its not very hard to read Barriss like a book. She is terrible with secrets. Master Yoda is allowing this to go on because you two are doing so good together."finished Plo.

When Anakin returned home he was blind sighted. Barriss was pale and said to him "Ani...I'm pregnant." Anakin passed out and fell to the floor.
