Five Months Later
Ahsoka's POV
Since my master finally got it through his head that I wasn't going to change my mind about my baby, he's stop torturing me with hard training. He's let up a lot, but I still have to do somthing with my free time. Or so he tells me. He sends me to different meetings with Senator Amidala. Every now and again, I think about that dream I've been having for months. I still had all the same questions that didn't have answers. I was getting impatient about my big day to see if it'll come true or not. I'm nine months pregnant with no sign of seeing Lux again or being on some frozen planet.
There was a peace meeting between the Republic and the Seperatists on Mandalore. They had to choose a neutral planet for things to go smoothly. I've always hated these meetings. They were so boring. I was only half listening to the conversation. There was talk about ending the war, the Republic's coruption, and the Separatists legitimacy.
"I have something to say about the legitimacy about the Separatists." That voice. I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes. It was Lux. He looked almost the same except for a few changes. He looked stronger, more mature than when I last saw him. His hair was different too. I liked it. It wasn't as stiff looking as it was before. I couldn't believe he was actually here. He walked down the aisle to approach Duchess Satine. I leaned over to Padme.
"You didn't tell me Lux would be here."
"I...didn't know." My happiness soon faded as I remembered my pregnancy. He was here to see me while still carrying this baby. His baby. I was still afraid of him finding out. There was no hiding it now. He bowed to the duchess and she let him speak.
"Fellow senators, I stand before you as son of Mina Bonteri, a loyal Separatist, friend." He looked at me and I couldn't help but smile at him. There was no worry or shock in his face. Maybe he didn't notice my belly yet. I don't see how he couldn't considering how huge I was. "I am here to say that my mother was murdered by Dooku in cold blood."
A Separartist senator stood up. "That is a lie. Remove this traitor at once."
I wanted to help him, but Padme held me back as two droids grabbed Lux's arms and tried to pull him away.
"I will not be silenced." Satine stood up.
"Stop this madness at once." Another stood up.
"We ask that you respect our wishes and let us deal with this matter ourselves." They lead Lux out.
"Dooku is a murderer! He'll betray you, just like he did my mother!" I couldn't let them take him. They would do more than "deal" with him.
"I apologize for the rude interuption. Let us continue." I leaned over to Padme again.
"We can't just let them take him. He'll be killed."
"Do what you can, Ahsoka, but be descrete." Descrete is my middle name. I nodded and snuck out. I followed the droids and Lux back to the Separatist ship. I snuck across a railing on the side of the platform. I waited for them to board, then went after them. I used the Force to sense where they were. I found the room and listened to what was happening. Lux was speaking to Dooku through a transmission. It wasn't until I heard the certain phrase to attack.
"I think it's time we reunite the young senator with his mother. Kill him!" I opened the doors and they turned to me.
"Ahsoka?" I took out the droids with no trouble. I turned to Lux and held out my hand.
"Lux, I think it's time to go. Don't you?" He took my hand and led him into the elevator. I contacted R2 and told him to fire up the ship. The doors opened and we ran out. I took out two more droids and we kept running. We went to the other platform where my and Padme's ship was waiting. I spotted Captain Taggort and lethim know about the droids. He covered us as we made our escape. When we got on the ship, Anakin contacted us.
"Ahsoka, Padme just contacted me. She said negotiations have all but collasped. Where are you?"
"I'm on route to Coruscant. I have Lux Bonteri with me." Since when do I use Lux's full name?
"Master Jedi, I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused you."
"It's fine. You'll be safe once we get to Coruscant." I was a bit worried what Anakin would say.
"Alright. Bring Bonteri to Coruscant. We'll discuss giving him amnasty."
"Yes, Master." Once the transmission ended, I turned to Lux and was met with a kiss. I returned the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. I've missed Lux so much and now here he was, in my arms again. We broke apart and he looked into my eyes.
"I've missed you so, Ahsoka."
"I've missed you too, Lux." He looked down and saw my heavily swollen belly. He looked at me with confusion and concern. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see his anymore. "I know I should've told you, but I was afraid."
"Afraid of what?" I opened my eyes and made contact with his.
"I was afraid what you would think. Afraid that you didn't want it. I just...couldn't."
"Ahsoka..." He held me closer and put his hand on my belly. "What would ever make you think I didn't want to have this baby? I love you. And the love I have for you would be no different than the love I would have for my own child. This...this is wonderful."
"I-I didn't think..." He put his finger to my lip.
"It's okay, Ahsoka. Nothing will ever make me not want this baby." I hugged him.
"I'm so glad you feel that way." We broke apart. I got up and sat in the front seat. "We need to get to Coruscant."
"I'm sorry, Love, but I can't go with you." I turned and he pointed a small gun at me.
"What?"
"I can't go with you. I have a plan." I stood up and quickly took the gun from him.
"Shooting me is not going to be apart of it. What are you doing with a gun anyhow? You're not a fighter."
"But I'm no longer a Separatist and I will not join the Republic."
"What other choice do you have, Lux?"
"There is a different way."
"Lux, listen to me. I know that you feel abondoned. I know that you feel alone, but the Republic can and will help you."
"Like they helped my mother?" This was the first time he ever raised his voice at me. I knew he was seriously upset. "I've already made contact with a group on Carlacc that are in line with my cause."
"And what cause is that?"
"To kill Dooku."
"The only one you're going to get killed is yourself. You almost did ten minutes ago." He looked at me with a stern face. I wasn't going to let that get to me. I sat back in the pilot's seat. "I'm sorry, but I'm taking you to Coruscant. Your plan hasn't exactly worked out. Without me, how did you think you were going to get past those droids?"
"Like this." That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
