I'm back


The Counsil Meeting

Obi-Wan Kenobi fell onto his bed with complete exhaustion. This was the first moment since his trip that he had been allowed to relax. Yoda had called for an emergency council meeting that did not go well. No, it had not gone well at all.

"You do realize this goes against the code and all the Jedi stand for." Mace had said.

It could have gone muck better. Perhaps Yoda could have allowed Obi-Wan a moment of rest and meditation to better prepare for the council meeting. Perhaps he could have reminded Mace that the Jedi stood for peace, not lack of human connection. So many things to consider, but Jedi did not focus on the past.

Worse yet, Yoda once again brought up that he take on a second apprentice.

Yoda didn't consider that maybe Anakin still needed a teacher to look to, and Obi-Wan still had to help his former padawan, friend and brother.

Three months had past and there was finally a light at the tunnel. Half the council members were seeing Obi-Wan's proposition as a good idea. It wasn't until the final council meeting before the members took off for a leave that Obi-Wan saw his progress make up a result.

"The council will allow attachment, allow Jedi to have families live within or outside the Jedi Temple, the Jedi with allow for regular rotation of personal leave for every Jedi to see their family." Mace read the data-pad.

"Agree, do we all?" Yoda asked.

There was finally an animus nod, though Mace however grudging.

Obi-Wan looked at the blue planet below. His family, he had a family. His brother Anakin, sister-in-law Padmé, niece and nephew Leia and Luke, but Dormé, where did she stand?

"Uncle Ben!"

"Uncle Obi!"

He was assaulted by two one year olds, learning to speak and walk, hugging his legs.

"Where did you get Ben, Little One?" Obi-Wan asked Luke

"Anakin told him your many code names from various missions." Padme said with a smile.

"Welcome back, brother." How had Anakin heard.

As if knowing what Obi-Wan was thinking, Anakin tapped into the bond and sent warm feelings of belonging.
