Chapter 3

Surprises

So last time we left off with Ahsoka finding out the secret. She's pregnant. And the father-Lux- hasn't returned to her… yet. Btw, this story's rating will soon change to rated M. Just wanted to let ya'll know that you will need to search rated M story's now.

Ahsoka POV

I just sat there in silence when the droid told me that I was pregnant. I'm pregnant…

I then asked, hoping to relieve the tension that had entered my body," Is it a boy or a girl?"

The droid responded," It's too early to tell. Would you like for me to tell yo-"

I immediately said," No! No, um, they probably shouldn't know just yet. Um, just tell them to come in."

I tried to come up with a god lie to tell them. Hmm… I'm not too old to be experiencing late stages of puberty… Am I? It's worth a shot.

"So what's the verdict, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked, laying a hand on my knee.

I sucked in a breath and said," Just a few very late stages of puberty."

Anakin looked confused, as did the rest of the masters. "But how could puberty actually kill you?"

I said in a shaky voice," Um, puberty can be especially rough for… teenage Togrutas… isn't that right, Master Shaak Ti?" I looked at Shaak for help and she immediately understood.

"Yes, Skywalker. Your padawan is right," she looked at me and sent this thought to my head.

What is it really?

I looked down to the ground. I'm pregnant.

Shaak just stared at me in amazement as the other masters started to leave. Apparently, they had a meeting to go to. Soon the only people in the room that were left was Anakin, Barriss, Rex, Cody, Obi-Wan, and Duchess Satine. I was glad that Shaak had left. I could hear the thoughts in her head and they made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Ahsoka, I've studied all about Togrutas and nothing says that their puberty stage would be rough enough to kill them. Tell us what it really is," Barriss said.

I sighed took a deep breath and said," It's related to puberty." When I saw their expressions, I knew that I needed to tell the truth. "Okay I'm not sure how you'll take this, but… I'm pregnant."

Everyone's expressions changed to a mixture of happiness or confusion or… anger. The anger part was my master.

Everyone else was stunned. Anakin was the first to say something. "Ahsoka, what did I say about getting pregnant before marriage?"

I looked down at the ground and said," You said not to."

Anakin's face changed to bewilderment. "Well, me just telling you certainly didn't help at all!"

"Lighten up, General. It's normal for girls to make mistakes and she's just a teenager," Cody said. Barriss smiled at Cody's bravery and Cody probably smiled back at her. He had his helmet on so I couldn't tell. Ah, great. Those two are probably gonna have sex again and Barriss won't get pregnant… again. Lucky bitch.

"Cody's right, Anakin. Ahsoka's just a teenager and this happens all the time," Obi-Wan said, then looked over at Satine and sort of winked at her. Anakin didn't notice and just stared at me.

"Okay, maybe you guys are right. But Ahsoka, you'll need to get an abortion," Anakin said.

My jaw dropped and I couldn't find words to say. But apparently other people could.

"Sir, you can't be serious!"

"It's a freakin baby! You can't kill it!"

"What if it was your baby?"

"Everyone quiet!" Duchess Satine said suddenly. Everyone froze midsentence and the Duchess smiled in victory. "I for one agree with Anakin that she should've been more careful, but it's a baby. You can't just kill it."

I smiled at the Duchess, who smiled back. But Anakin wasn't satisfied yet.

"Well, what if the Council finds out?"

Obi-Wan responded this time. "The Council actually needs more Force-sensitive children and if its Ahsoka's child then I think that it'll be very strong in the Force. Besides, the Council already had a suspicion that this would happen." I blushed when I heard this.

Anakin sighed and said," Ahsoka, do you want to keep the child?"

I thought about for a second. It was Lux's child too and I knew that he would love it. "Yes, I'm sure."

Barriss hugged me and Rex and Cody said," Congratulations." Obi-Wan and Satine smiled at me encouragingly and when they thought that no one was looking, I saw their hands loop through each others.

I shook my head and thought, Does everyone have to break the rules to be together?

After that, we all decided to clear out and head to the mess hall to grab a snack. Or in my case a full course meal.

We were almost there, when we heard alarms blare throughout the Temple. We covered our ears and I screamed in pain. My ears were very sensitive to sound and this was killing me. Then the alarms stopped.

Everyone looked around wondering what was happening and then I felt a familiar presence. Lux.

He was here on Coruscant. I wondered how he had managed to escape from the Separatists, when I heard a loud crash. It was on one of the landing platforms. And it was a Separatist ship.

Anakin, Cody, Rex, Barriss, and I drew our weapons, while Obi-Wan led the Duchess to a safe place in the Temple.

The rest of us headed for the platform, where a lot of the other Jedi were too. We all surrounded the ship and called the pilot out, but I was focused on locating Lux's energy. He was near very near and I…

No, he can't be…

I yelled out," Wait! Stop! Hold your fire!"

Everyone's eyes turned to me, but I could've cared less. I just wanted to know if my boyfriend and fiancé was back.

I walked toward the crashed ship and said," Whoever's in there come out now!"

I heard shuffling and cursing coming from the inside of the ship, but it sounded familiar.

I then watched as a brown haired teenager came from the ship. His eyes were a blue-gray color that always made me melt. He was wearing skin-tight underwear and nothing else. His clothes exposed his six-pack abs that seemed more defined than they already were. He had scars all over him from probably new experiments. It was Lux.
