?

(Anakin's P.O.V.)

Have you ever felt like you were a winner, but screwed up at the same time? Like you technically should be happy, but you're angry at the same time? Well, I was angry.

At myself.

Good news: I'm gonna be a father! Bad news: Ahsoka saw me and Padme together. I didn't even have time to get to her and explain, she ran away so fast. But the hurt I saw in her eyes just after the shock, will probably hunt me forever, if I won't do something with that quickly.

I knew I should have told her earlier… But the was the mission with the Chancellor, it lasted longer the I expected… She was already mad at me that I didn't let her go. But I couldn't, what if something happened there? For example, with Dooku? He had knocked even Obi-wan out, so I don't want to think what could happen to her… I knew that Ahsoka was strong and really brave. But sometimes I still saw those little fourteen year old girl, and I just couldn't deal with the fact that, someday, she may not be strong enough and… there won't be her with me anymore.

'Where was she?...', I thought, walking into our quarters. She weren't in her room, maybe somewhere else in the Temple? 'Force, better won't she do something stupid…' It was all my fault! I would have now sat with head in my hands, but Ahsoka was there, somewhere. I needed to find her and explain. Hopefully.

She must have had completely broke down, 'cause her mental shields were down. They quickly guided me to Ahsoka. She sat near the window… there was someone with her.

Baylee, I recognised the presence, which almost matched Obi-wan's. They sat together, and Baylee had her arm around Ahsoka. They must have both felt my presence, but only my Master's daughter turned her head to me.

Baylee bit her lip, than slowly stood up and walked back to me. I saw conflict in her eyes, and I immediately realized, that she also knew.

-Master Skywalker, I… Ahsoka told me. I-I don't really understand much, but… I won't tell anybody, I promise- she managed a smile, and somehow I knew I could trust her- you should talk with Ahsoka- her smile faded and she carefully got out of my way, than walked away.

I sat beside Ahsoka in some distance. At first there was only silence, but then I heard Ahsoka's whisper:

-Why?

I sighed.

-Snips, listen, I know it's a bad example and I shouldn't have broke the rules, but…- she cut me in mid sentence.

-You really think that I'm talking about the kriffin' rules?!- Ahsoka snapped, turning around rapidly, and I saw tears in her eyes. I hated seeing her cry, I didn't wanted it to turn out like that- I can't believe you never told me! I thought you trusted me…- she almost whispered the last part.

-Ahsoka…-I started. She wanted to turn around again, but I caught her chin and forced her to look at me- Ahsoka, don't you ever think that I don't trust you… Snips, I trust you with my life!

-That's what you always say…- she huffed-'I trust you!'… But Padme is a part of your life, and you never told me about her… Why?- she asked again the same question. The one that I didn't know the answer to.

-I… I don't know, Snips, it's just… The weight of this whole thing was too much for me. When we got married, we decided to not tell anybody… But I didn't suspected that, someday, there will be a person in my life who I could share this secret with…

-Does anybody else know?- she asked quietly.

-Yes… Obi-wan- I told her- but I have told him just before those mission. Ahsoka, I was going to tell you too, I swear!

She was silent for a moment, like rethinking something.

-So… if it was supposed to be a secret, why would you decide to tell us? Now?- she asked. In her tone I caught something what sounded like unbelieving. Ahsoka was right, why would I tell them…

I know why. But she doesn't. She can't know. I don't think Obi-wan would mind if she knew, but it was just the fact of a secret. He was keeping mine, I needed to keep his.

Not answering was a bad idea.

-Well… I knew it- Ahsoka's voice got to me- the fact that even Obi-wan broke the rules finally got you the confidence to do it, huh?...

-Snips, I don't need any confidence to… wait, what?!

Did she just said that Obi-wan broke the rules?

When Ahsoka turned her gaze to me, despite huge sadness, there was a glimpse of amusement in her eyes.

-Skyguy, I'm not blind, you know…- the fact that she used my nickname lightened my mood a little bit- you two seriously thought hat I didn't notice? They've got the same eyes, besides, there's also the same force presence…

-And the red hair- I added jokingly. We both laughed.

Ahsoka stopped and looked into my eyes.

-Will you forgive me?- I asked quietly.

She put on a serious face. But slowly, slowly, her expression turned into a smirking one. And before I could object, she bent forward, arms wrapped around me.

-Sure, Skyguy… just don't keep things like that from me again, okay?- she looked up at me with her blue eyes.

-I won't Snips, I promise- I hugged her back tightly- oh, and… I'm gonna be a father!

-Really? That's great!- her smile seemed to brighten up even more.

I don't know how long we sat there, but when I helped her up and we started walking to our quarters, the moon was already noticeable on the dark sky.

-Sooo… I'm gonna be aunt?- Ahsoka joked, grinning at me.

-Yeah, Snips, you'll be auntie 'Soka!...- I laughed, putting my arm around her shoulders.

It's going to be just fine.

Hi everybody! Sorry for updating so late! I kinda lost my ideas about this story, and there was school, of course… (Worst. Timetable. Ever!) Anyway, I'm wondering about posting a clone wars fanfic with one-shots basing on the alphabet letters, but I'll need your ideas for each letter. What do you think?

Review! Even one word, it's really motivating! (:

See you later!
