This is the REAL chapter 4. Again, sorry for the mix up.
The next day, Anakin woke up with a strange feeling. For some reason, he felt that shouldn't leave Ahsoka home alone that day. He wasn't sure why, but he assumed that since her due day was so close, her water might break. She woke up after him and he smiled at her.
"Morning, sunshine. Why did you sleep?"
"I did a bit of tossing and turning, but other than that, I'm fine."
"Good. That's good. Look, about last night..."
"It's okay, Ani. I know that seeing your father was a bit of a ride for you and I wasn't as supportive as I should've been."
"No, it's my fault for over reacting to it and I didn't mean to snap at you. I want to make it up to you and spend the day with you."
"That's sweet, Ani, but we both know that you can't afford anymore days off at work. All these false alarms and doctors appointments with the baby really took up your days."
"I can afford one more." Ahsoka knew her husband well enough to know when he was hiding something. She sat up against the headboard.
"Okay, Ani. What's really going on?"
"Can't a man spend a day with his beautiful and pregnant wife with whom he just had an argument? I just want to apologize."
"You can, but I know that man well enough to know what he's not telling his wife everything. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just..." She took his hand in hers.
"Ani, just tell me what's on your mind. Whatever it is, I promise I won't get mad."
"I'm not worried about you getting mad."
"Then what are you worried about?" KNowing that she wasn't going to give up on this, he decided to tell her.
"Okay, I'll tell you. While I do really want to make up for yesterday, I don't want to leave you by yourself today."
"Why not?"
"I don't really know. I just feel that something is going to happen today. I don't know what it is. You might get hurt ot your water might break or..."
"Or maybe I have an over protective husband. Ani, you know that not all of your feelings mean something's going to happen. If something was going to happen, you would've had a dream about it. Did you have a dream about something?"
"Well, no."
"Then maybe you're just being paranoid. You're under a lot of stress with the bills and the baby and then your father coming back in your life. All is just a bad combination for you."
"I suppose you're right."
"Of course I'm right. I'm always right." He playfully rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Now, you need to get ready for work."
"Are you sure you don't need me to stay."
"Completely sure. Go to work. I'll be fine. I'm going to go back to sleep for a while." She laid back down.
"Alright. Sweet dreams." He kissed her forehead and got out bed. He grabbed his uniform and went to the refresher. He took a shower, brushed his teeth and changed into his uniform. He came out minutes later to see Ahsoka fast asleep. He went over to her side of the bed and kissed her. He went to the front and fixed himself a cup of coffee, then left for work.
He got to the garage minutes later. He went to the locker room and saw Bert, his co-worker. He and Bert had became friends over the few months he'd been working there.
"What's up, Ani?"
"Hey, Bert. Haven't seen you in a while. Where you been?" He opened his locker.
"Mary's sister bumped up the wedding, so we had to leave as soon as I got home. I hated when she hits me with that crap."
"Hey, women are very complicated creatures."
"You're telling me. Speaking of, how's Ahsoka doing? She popped while I was gone?"
"No, not yet."
"Still? When is that little bastard gonna get here? He's been cooking long enough."
"He's due in a couple of days. She'll pop soon."
"You better hope so. Pregnant women are worse then women in general. Trust me. I've gone through it three times already."
"Well, who's fault is that?"
"Yeah, yeah. So, did anything happen when I was gone?"
"Nothing of importance." Bert closed his locker and walked over to Anakin's.
"Okay, spill it."
"Spill what?"
"Dude, when you say 'nothing of importance', that means something did happen that you don't want to talk about."
"The whole part of not telling you is I don't want to talk about it. It's nothing big."
"Look, man. I'mma tell you now. Mary and Ahsoka talk and, for some reason, my wife feels I want to know every single detail of what they talk about. Whether you tell me or not, I'm gonna find out what it is. You might as well tell me what it is." Anakin sighed knowing this was true. Ahsoka couldn't keep something to herself to save her life.
"Fine, but if you tell anyone else, I'll kick your ass."
"Alright. I won't tell anyone."
"The other day, this guy comes to my house..."
"Ahsoka's past lover?"
"What? No. He claimed to be my father."
"Oh. I thought you didn't have a father."
"So did I, so of course I didn't believe him. Ahsoka convinced me to take a paternity test because she believed him. Results came back positive."
"Wow. That's heavy, man."
"You're telling me."
"So, where is he now?"
"At a hotel. I don't know what to do about this. I've gone my entire life thinking he didn't even exist."
"I don't blame you. That's a lot to take in."
"Well, what would you do if it were your father?"
"Well, since I actually knew my old man and saw how horrible he was, I'd kick his ass to the curb. Since you never knew him, I don't think that's the best choice for you."
"What do you think is the best choice?"
"Give him a chance. If he came back, he must want to prove that he wants to be a father to you." Anakin thought for a minute.
"Maybe I should give him a chance. I mean, he's come so far to find me. Maybe I should give him the benefir of the doubt."
"You should. Not a lot of fathers would come back after abandoning their families."
"That's what Ahsoka keeps telling me."
"It's true, and think about this: what other reason does he really have for coming back other than to spend time with you and make up for lost time? You're not rich or famous, and you have nothing that he could possibly want that's worth any real value. He has to be for real."
"I guess I never thought of it like that. I'll give him a chance. After work, I'll go see him."
"That's a good idea. Now that this is settled, we have to get to work."
"Alright. Let's go."
Later That Day
The work day had ended and Anakin and Bert were ready to leave for the day.
"Alright, so you're off to your father's, right?"
"Yeah, but I have to stop home first to check on Ahsoka."
"Okay. I'm gonna head home too. I'll see you later."
"See you." They went to their speeders adn went their separate ways. When Anakin for home, that bad feeling he had that morning had come back stronger than before. Something was wrong. He walked in the door slowly and on his guard. "Ahsoka?"
He then saw her. She had a bandana tied around her mouth and her wrists were shackled to the back door. Her screams were muffled as she tried to warn him. Before he knew it, he was stunned and knocked unconscious.
Alright, that was the real chapter 4. I messed up big time with this. Sorry guys, but I at least hope you liked it.
