They arrived at the park on hour later. There were other people with their friends, families, and pets. Ahsoka and Tom started walking along the trail. Tom started the conversation.

"So, Ahsoka, how've you been? How's life at the pregnancy center?"

"It's calm and quiet most of the time. Aside from babies being born, it's very peaceful. This is the calmest I have ever been. Can't say the same for this one here." She rubbed her belly.

"Been kicking alot?"

"A lot? Try every hour. These babies never run out of energy." Tom stopped in his tracks.

"Did you say babies?"

"Oh, yeah. I had an ultrasound yesterday. I'm having twins."

"Twins?"

"Yep. Two babies. I have a picture of them for you." She pulled the picture out of her purse and gave it to Tom. He looked at them in awe. He saw two little babies in the picture. One was a little smaller than the other.

"That's great, Ahsoka. Congrats."

"Thank you." He handed the picture back to her. "No, Tom. That one's yours. Keep it."

"Thanks." He put the picture in his pocket.

"So, what about you? How's life on Bespin?"

"It's been better. I lived with an aunt who loves to cook, an uncle who's barely ever home, a cousin that's happy all the time and her twin who always has a bad attitude. Life's perfect." She giggled at his sarcasm.

"I imagine it is." They past a fresh honeybun stand. The salesman yelled to him.

"Hey there, young man. Why don't you buy the pretty little lady a honeybun. Fresh baked for only five credits."

"Ooh, I would love one."

"Alright. One honeybun." He paid the man and handed the bun to Ahsoka.

"Thanks. You didn't want one?"

"Naw. I don't really like honeybuns anymore. Remember that incident with Brock when I was ten?" She inhaled sharply.

"Oh, yeah. He tried to shove it down your throat. If that happened to me, I would never eat another honeybun either."

"Yeah. That was not a good day for me. Although it was funny when Master Yoda hung him upside down from the ceiling in front of everyone in the mess hall."

"Oh my Force! That was hilarious! I love Master Yoda. He may be the oldest and wisest Jedi, but he does have a great sense of humor."

"Yeah. Unlke Master Windu. He's serious all the time. I don't think I've ever seen him smile. Not once."

"Me neither. I don't think he's smiled a day in his life."

"I second that statement. I pay a million credits to who ever can get that man to smile."

"I don't think even my babies can get him to smile."

"Not even your magic can get him to smile."

"What do you mean?"

"You have this special power where you can light up a room just by walking in. I swear, everytime you walk in a room, every one is suddenly in a good mood by seeing your beautiful face." She blushed and went back to her bun.

"That's not true, Tom."

"Yes it is. You just don't see it."

"I can't see something that isn't true, Tom."

"Seventeen years old and still so naive."

"I am not naive!"

"Yes you are!"

"Am not!"

"Whatever you say." She rolled her eyes. "So, the twins. Do you know what they are?"

"No. Anakin and I decided we wanted to be surprised."

"But wouldn't it be better to know ahead of time so you could plan ahead? So, when it is born, you'll already have all the things you'll need."

"The girls at the center have already started buying things for the babies whether it's a boy or a girl."

"Well, what do want them to be?"

"Well, Anakin wants a girl that looks like me and I want a boy that looks like him. Since we're having twins, we might get both."

"Do have any names planned?"

"Not really. We exchanged a few names, but we never agreed on any."

"What names do you like?"

"Well, for a boy, I really like the name Lila. It was my mother's name. For a boy, either Anakin Jr., Kasey, or Luke." Tom fliched at the last name. "What? you don't like Luke?"

"It's not that. It was just something Lea told me."

"What?"

"I really don't want to talk about it."

"Was it about your father?"

"What? No. Why would you think that?"

"I'm just guessing. You said yourself that you didn't know your father and I thought you heard something bad about him."

"No. It wasn't my father."

"Then what was it, Tom? You can tell me. I won't say anything."

"Ahsoka, just drop it. Please." She stepped in front of him and looked deep in his eyes.

"Please, Tom. Tell me." He knew he couldn't resist Ahsoka.

"Fine, but you can't tell anyone this. Especially Nia."

"My lips are sealed." He sighed as he began telling Ahsoka the story of why Nia is the way she is. When he was finished, Ahsoka was almost in tears. "I can't believe it. I always thought Nia was born with a bad attitude."

"Yeah, I did too. Now that I know this, I'm trying to be more compassinate towards her. She's been through too much."

"I know how she feels. Having someone you love die in your arms."

"You do?"

"I never told you this for a reason. It was too painful. A few years ago, I was on a mission on Shili. My old village was being attacked by the Separatists. When we showed up, they ran off. We settled in the village for when they came back. I found out my father still lived there. I spent a lot of time with him, catching up. A couple of days later, the Separatists came back. We fought them off the best we could. When they retreated this time, they left the planet. I thought everything was going to be okay. I went back to my father's home and found him severely wounded. I called for help, but he told me he was going to die. They last thing he told me was that he was proud of me. He told me to keep fighting for him. Then he was gone." She tried to hold back her tears. Tom put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I had no idea." She sniffled.

"It's okay. No one knows except for you, Anakin, and Master Plo. And intend it to stay that way. Don't even tell your family."

"I promise I won't." She dried her face.

"Good. Let's talk about something else."

"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" She smiled weakly.

"How about you and Clare?" He sighed and rolled his eyes. "I saw you two talking earlier. You seemed really interested in her."

"She's a nice girl, but I wouldn't necessarily say I like her."

"Uh, I would. I know two love birds when I see them."

"Well..."

"I knew it! You like her."

"Fine, you caught me. I do like her."

"Then ask her out. She'll love to."

"I don't know, Ahsoka."

"It's because she's pregnant isn't it?"

"Of course not. I don't care that she's pregnant."

"Then what's the problem?"

"I know nothing about her."

"That's the whole point of a date, Tom. You got out, eat, and get to know each other better. I mean, you didn't know me when we met and we got to know each other."

"That's different. We were kids. It was easier back then. We are older, more mature young adults. There's more pressure and tension."

"Just talk about things that you like. She'll reply and then you get a conversation started. Or to be more classy, ask her what she likes."

"Okay. I'll ask her out tonight."

"Great."

"Ahsoka, I've been meaning to ask you something."

"What is it, Tom?"

"About your ring." He lifted her hand and touched the ring.

"What about it?" She pretended to be oblivious about it. She knew the question was coming.

"Where did you get it?"

"Anakin got it for me. He gave it to me the other day."

"Is that all he gave you? That ring?"

"Tom, Anakin proposed to me and I said yes." She expected him to be mad or extremely upset, but he wasn't.

"That's great, Ahsoka!"

"You mean, you're not mad?"

"Why would I be mad? Ahsoka, I've accepted the fact that you've moved on and I had to move on."

"So, you don't love me anymore?"

"Of course I still love you, Ahsoka, but I know that we can't be together. If you're happy, then I happy. All I want is for you to be happy."

"Well, thanks."

They spent the rest of the day at the park. When it got around 8:00, Tom drove Ahsoka back to the pregnancy center.

"Are you forgetting something, Tom?"

"I don't think so."

"Tom, I'll give you a hint. It starts with a C and ends with a Lare?"

"Oh yeah. I said I would."

"Yeah. Come on and don't be nervous." Tom followed Ahsoka inside. Trekkie met them at the door. "Is there anywhere you're not?"

"Nope." Ahsoka rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, where's Clare?"

"Clare!" Clare came from the main room.

"What?"

"Tom has something he wants to ask you." Tom approached her. She blushed.

"Clare, would you like to go out with me?" She gasped.

"Yes. I would love to!"

"Great. Tomorrow night?"

"Sure."

"Alright. I'll pick you up at 8:00."

"Can't wait."

"See ya later, Soka."

"Alright. Bye." Tom then left. Clare turned to Ahsoka.

"Did you tell him to ask me out?"

"He said he liked you. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?"

"A horrible one."

"Exactly."

"Oh my Force! I have a date tomorrow!"

"Come on. We'll help you find something to wear."

Love? Hate? Wanted Tom to have a different reaction? I was going to make him mad about Ahsoka getting married to Anakin, but I wanted to have him move on from Ahsoka. Tell me what you think, but no flames please. I worked really hard on this chapter. I had to change a lot of things to make all of this make sense.
