Ahsoka's POV
"We should leave. Now." Anakin told me coldly.
He already had the suitcases on the big white bed. Anakin threw any clothes from the drawers, placing my clothes neatly stacked. He, then, threw me a fresh pair of clothes. Something comfortable for my body.
I take the gray sweatpants and navy blue shirt to change and then I brushed my teeth. When I came back, Anakin was arguing with Obi-Wan.
"OBI-WAN! IT'S A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION! WILL SHE BE OKAY? THAT'S ALL I ASK!" Anakin roared, slamming his fist on the table.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and touched Anakin's hand.
He jerked from my touch. I immediately flinched, taking a few steps back. His eyes had red rings around them. They were swollen, full with anger, confusion, sadness, and worn out.
The air hitched in his throat. "Ahsoka, please. Leave us. I need to talk to Obi-"
I rubbed his shoulder and arm. "You're weeping." I noticed that from the light reflecting off his wet skin.
"Love, please." He breathed.
"Ani, don't shut me out." I whispered. "I want to help. Please?"
He shook his head. "You can't."
Those words pierced through my heart. My expression was full with hurt and depression.
"I can do something, Anakin… Don't worry." I said, defending myself.
"THAT THING INSIDE YOU WILL MAKE YOU A TARGET FOR THE SEPARATISTS, AHSOKA!" He yelled
I shook my head in disbelief. He has never yelled to me like that before.
"What-?"
"JUST LEAVE US TO DISCUSS!"
I stormed out of the room, sobbing on the loveseat. I got up and glared out the window.
Moments later, I heard footsteps coming closer. I didn't turn around to face him.
"Ahsoka-"
"I don't want to talk to you, Anakin." I hissed
Anakin took a grip on my shoulders so my body wouldn't turn away from him.
"Sweetheart, you need to understand that I had to force Obi-Wan to tell me what's going to happen to you." He explained as I didn't meet his eyes.
I jerked away from him and glared outside at the dark island. I crossed my arms above my chest. "So," I shrugged. "What did he say?"
Anakin's eyes dropped to the floor. "He… he doesn't know yet."
My eyes were moist, one tear finally fell. "Can't we ever just love one another without starting another reason for war?" I questioned, my head turning to face my worried husband.
He came to me to wrap his arms around my waist. "I wish, Love."
"Or start a family?"
Anakin stiffened. I probably shouldn't have said that.
Anakin's face was still as stone even after we left Shili and were at hyperspace.
We both didn't speak during our trip back home. But I did vomit and slept. Anakin, though, just talked to R2-D2 or Obi-Wan, but always either helped me as I vomited without saying a word or always staring straight outside. Once though, as I glared at the planets and stars with a depressed expression, Anakin eyed me with a sad look before looking forward again.
We arrived at the rainy day on Coruscant. We grabbed our cloaks and walked in silence, but then I stopped in the middle of the pouring rain.
"Ahsoka! Please stay with me! Please. Don't leave me!" I heard Anakin yell, pleading.
Then I heard my dying cry, before I saw a baby being held. After that the vision disappeared.
Anakin turned around, alarmed. "Snips! You okay? Are you hurting?" He asked.
I nodded. "I'm fine… it's just that… I'm scared, Ani."
"We all are, my love. Especially me, I don't want to lose you."
I glared down, trying to hold back the tears. I was causing him to be in so much pain.
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan yelled from the temple.
We ran to the warm indoors with Barriss and Obi-Wan waiting.
"Shall we enter the Medical Wing?" Obi-Wan asked.
We all nodded and went straight to the Medical Wing. The doctor droid assured us that the fetus was fine and so was I. But I noticed Anakin wasn't convinced one bit.
Later that night…
I was… in a dark place with no signs of life or light. Suddenly, I saw the same nightmare I dreamt during my honeymoon.
"Ahsoka!" Anakin cried, holding me tightly. He was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Anakin, she's dead. She-"Obi-Wan began.
"NO!" Anakin roared, glaring at his former master with hatred filled eyes. He, then, eyed our baby who was crying. "I will destroy it!"
"ANAKIN, NO!" Obi-Wan screamed.
My eyes flew open as I gasped. I glanced around me and found out I was in the Medical Wing again.
"Ani? What's going on? Why am I here?" I asked.
Anakin was gazing outside to see the lights of Coruscant. "I saw you… in my dream. I saw you…" He hesitated, Anakin glares down before at me. "I saw you and our baby… dying."
I gasped. "It's not… real. It's just a dream. Nothing real." I told him, trying to convince him.
"It was a… premonition. But I promise you I won't let this one become real, Love." He vowed, holding my hand tightly.
"I know you won't." I smiled, half-heartedly.
He let go of my hand and turned back to Coruscant; hands behind his back.
I waited for him to speak more as I think. "Will I die? Will I make it?"
"I don't know." He answered my unspoken thought. "But my dream… my dream was so real. I thought it was real myself… what can I do to prevent this from happening?"
I didn't answer.
