When Anakin woke up, he found himself in a dark room. He barely remembered anything. He remembered coming home and nothing after that.
"Anakin? Anakin! Over here!" He looked across the room and saw Ahsoka in a cell like his.
"Ahsoka! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Are you? You've been out for hours."
"I'm okay. What's going on? Where are we?"
"We're on a ship. Some bounty hunters took us. They kept saying something about a score to settle with your father." As soon as she said that, Anakin became furious.
"I knew it! I knew we shouldn't trust him! He's nothing but trouble!"
"Anakin, we have a bigger problem. How are we going to get out of here? My water could break any minute."
"Dammit! Okay, just stay calm. Stress will only make your water break sooner. Do you know where we're heading?"
"No. They didn't say. Anakin, I'm scared."
"Don't be. We'll be fine. We'll get out of here. I promise." About an hour later, the ship started to shake.
"What was that?"
"We must be landing. No matter what happens, remember to stay as calm as you possibly can."
"I know, Ani. The more you tell me, the more stressed I get."
"Sorry. I'm just trying to help."
"I know you are." A gree Twi'Lek man entered the room. He wore a black muscle shirt and brown pants with a utility belt. He went over to Ahsoka's cell.
"Time to go, preggers." He unlocked her cell and yanked her to her feet. She yelped in pain.
"Don't hurt her!" The man looked over at Anakin.
"What are you gonna do about it, huh?" He pulled Ahsoka's hands behind her back and snapped a pair of binders on her wrists. He pushed her out the door, leaving Anakin furious, confused, and worried. Minutes later, the same man came back for Anakin. "As for you, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Make this easy and we won't hurt your precious pregnant wife. Make this hard and you end up a widow."
Anakin didn't have much of a choice. He didn't want to risk the lives of his wife and his unborn child. He had binders put on his wrists as well and was led off the ship into a speeder. He didn't see Ahsoka and became worried.
"Where is my wife?"
"You'll see her soon." He put Anakin in the back of the speeder and got in the passenger seat. A masked man drove the speeder. Anakin took in his surroundings to try and figure out where he was. They were in a forest, so it could be a number of places: Naboo, Alderaan, Endor, Dantooine. Any of them. Half an hour passed before they came into a camp. There were tents and bounty hunters everywhere. All of different species, both male and female. They all watched as Anakin was driven through. They stopped at the biggest tent in the middle of the camp. He was pulled out and led inside. There were bounty hunters on either side of the tent. They approached a human man sitting in a throne-like chair. He leaned forward as Anakin approached. He was pushed to his knees in front of him. The Twi'Lek that brought him in spoke.
"Here's the Skywalker you requested." The man in the throne stood and walked up to him. He grabbed Anakin's face and examined him closely. He slowly smirked as he released him.
"Looks just like his father."
"Where's Ahsoka? What have you done with my wife?" Before he spoke, another voice answered.
"She's fine, for now." A Zeltron woman emerged in the tent. Her hair fell down to the small of her back. She had dark purple eyes and pink skin. She wore a black tank top that stopped right above her navel and tight black pants with brown boots that came to her knees. "She's being held safely."
"Who are you? Why are we here?"
"You really are Clyde's boy. Always wants to get right to the point, so let's get to it. I'm Selma and I use to date your father." Anakin's eyes widened, but part of him wasn't surprised. His father was a bounty hunter after all.
"What does that have to do with me and my wife?"
"How else do you expect me to get back at him for leaving me?"
"But why take Ahsoka? She has nothing to do with this."
"If you're anything like your father, you wouldn't cooperate without a little... motivation."
"You bitch! My wife is nine months pregnant! She could go into labor at any moment!" Another bounty hunter ran into the tent and whispered something to Selma. She smirked and sent him away.
"Well, aren't we psychic? Her water just broke." Anakin's eyes widened in shock.
"What? Let me see her! Now!" She took a blaster and pointed it at him.
"I'm the one giving orders around here, pretty boy. If I have to remind you again, I won't hesitate to shoot you and then your wife. Are we clear?" He glared daggers at her, but held his tongue. She smirked and put away her blaster. "Good. You're a quick learner."
"Why do you even care about Clyde anymore? It's been years since you last saw him."
"Your father ruined my life and my career when he left me for your slave mother."
"What are you talking about?"
"Before he left, your father and i were the best and most dangerous bounty hunting duo the galaxy's ever seen. We would go on missions others wouldn't dare. We did everything and made a lot of money doing it. After one of out missions, we went to Nal Hutta to collect our bounty and celebrate a little. We were having fun, laughing and drinking as usual when he saw her. A young human slave, no older than me at the time. She served us drinks all night and he eyed her like a hawk. Since he was drunk, I didn't think much of it. The next day, we went to spend some of our new wealth on some new equipment and weapons. We heard the Hutts has some good stuff, so we went to their place. She was there stacking blasters on the racks. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. I confronted him about it and, of course, he said it was nothing. Like a fool, I believed him.
"I got more suspicious of him when we kept going back to Nal Hutta after every mission. We usually only went if we had a mission for the Hutts. He had an excuse for everytime. They had a deal on new weapons or gear or ships. He only wanted to go see her. After a few months, we started going on separate missions. I was tired of always seeing him drool over that slave. We were doing fine on our own, but I missed the duo action, so I told him we should get back together as a duo. Then, he started talking about getting out of the hunting business. Talking a bunch of bantha crap about he's too wanted and should lay low from now on. He was going to go to Mulo the Hutt and quit. Clyde loved bounty hunting, so I knew there was another reason behind it. Turned out that your mother was pregnant. He was going to buy her from Gardula, free her, marry her and raise his new family. I wasn't going to let him get away that easy.
"I knew the Hutts, so I knew they wouldn't allow certain things under circumstances. I told Gardula about Clyde impregnanting her slave and him wanting to buy her. Gardula wouldn't allow it, so she had her get an abortion and refused to sell her to him. Mulo heard about this as well and refused to let Clyde quit. We were back in business. Clyde and I were back together and Shmi was out of the picture, or so I thought.
"About a year later, I found out that Clyde was still fooling around with Shmi and she had you. What pissed me off was that Gardula knew about it and allowed it this time. While I was trying to come up with a way to separate you three, I found out I didn't need to because I wasn't the only one your father pissed off. Other bounty hunters wanted Clyde's skin. Plus, if Mulo ever found out, all three of you would've been dead. Since he wanted to protect you, he left and cut off all communication with Shmi. I had him until Mulo was taken out a couple of years ago. He quit bounty hunting and went looking for you and your mother. Since Shmi's already dead, that just leaves you, your wife, and your new son."
"Revenge won't change anything. This is pointless."
"Your father took everything from me. My career, my future, my life. We were going to start a family of our own if it hadn't been for your slave mother. He took away my everything. Now, I'm going to take his." She punched Anakin hard in the face, knocking him unconscious. "Put him in the cell with his expecting wife. He won't want to miss the baby."
