Ahsoka's POV

After rehearsal was over a long two hours later, I finally got to spend some time with Anakin. I've been waiting five whole years to see him again. With everyone gone and out of the house, there was no one there to interupt us.

"Ani, I'm glad you're back. I've missed you so much."

"I know the feeling. I thought I would never see you again." I then thought of something.

"Anakin, for the last five years, I've been sending letters to you. Why didn't you respond to any of them?"

"It's not my fault. Obi-Wan intercepted all of them and I never got them. I found them in his room and read every single one of them on the way here. I can't believe how much I've missed after all this time."

"So, you know about everything?"

"Yeah. I know about your brother, who tackled me when I came in."

"Sorry about that. He's a bit over protective."

"And I know about Rona getting engaged, then breaking off the wedding."

"Yeah. The guy thought it was Mona the whole time and didn't bother to ask."

"I also know about AJ." I almost forgot about AJ. He was up in his room with Jan. I thought everyone was gone, but I didn't think about them. "Ahsoka, I want to meet AJ. I want to see my son."

"And I've wanted you to see him. He's asked about you many times." His face lit up.

"He has?"

"Yes. Since he started noticing that other kids had a mom and a dad, he was wondering where his daddy was. He asked where Anakin Sr. was."

"When you say my name like that, you make me sound old."

"Well, you're older than me, that's for sure."

"But I'm not an old man."

"I never said you were. AJ did."

"Where is AJ?"

"Come on. I'll take you to him." I took Anakin's hand and led him up to AJ's room. Anakin was finally going to meet his son.

Anakin's POV

I'm finally going to met my son. I can't believe this. I may not have known about him for very long, but I'm just so excited to meet him. Ahsoka led me to a room and opened the door. I saw Jan playing with the little boy. AJ. I couldn't believe it. This was him.

"Jan? Could you excuse us?" He looked at us, nodded, then left. We were left alone with AJ. He went over to Ahsoka andshe picked him up. He looked at me like I was a complete stranger. But to him, I was. He then looked to her with confusion.

"Mommy?" She simply smiled at my puzzled son.

"AJ. Baby, this is Anakin."

"My name Anakin."

"I know. He's your daddy." I smiled at him.

"Hey, AJ. I'm your daddy."

"But Mommy said that my daddy was a Jedi."

"I am and I can show you that I am." I used the Force to lift him out of Ahsoka's arms. I could tell he was a bit surprised at first, but he started laughing and smiling.

"You are! You are my daddy! You came home!" I held him in my arms.

"Yeah, buddy. I'm home."

Ahsoka's POV

Anakin's been with us for a few days now. The twins were extremely happy to see him after all this time. I'm surprised that word hasn't leaked to the press abot Anakin. I'd like to keep it that way. We're on Naboo rehearsing for the concert. We just finished practicing I'm Your Baby Tonight. I saw Jan talking with some human woman who looked slightly familar. He then led her over to the stage.

"Hey, Soka. Come down for a sec." I climbed down from the stage and approaced them.

"What's up?"

"Ahsoka, this is Senator Amidala."

"Oh. I thought I've seen you before. Hello, Senator."

"Hello, Ahsoka. I would like you to know that I'm a bit of a fan of yours."

"Thanks."

"But, I need to talk to you about something important."

"Sure. Jan?"

"I'll give you two some privacy." He walked off and I turned back to the senator.

"So, what is it you need to talk to me about? Trying to get free tickets to the show?"

"No. I'm actually here to talk to you about someone. I know you're familiar with a Jedi named Anakin Skywalker." How does she know Anakin?

"Yes. He was the one that got me out of slavery."

"Yes, but I know you have a closer relationship with him. I know that you two are... a couple, if you'd call it so."

"Wait. How did you know about that?"

"That's not important. I'm here to tell you that Anakin isn't as open to you as you would think."

"What do you mean?"

"Has he ever told you about me?"

"No. Why? Should he have?"

"Well, I would like to know if the man I loved was married to someone else." Married? To her? No way.

"Anakin's not married. I know he's not. He would've told me and not even have tried to be with me. I know he loves me and his son."

"Ah. So AJ is for him? I suppose that's something he can't take back."

"Senator Amidala, I don't know what you're trying to pull, but Anakin's not married. He's with me. If he was married, he wouldn't be." She sighed.

"I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this, but you've given me no choice." She took out a holotap. "This is a recording of my and Anakin's wedding."

She played it and I saw her and Anakin standing at an alter with a priest. I watched the entire wedding from start to finish. I heard every word and saw their kiss. I even heard what he told her at the end.

"No matter what happens, I'll never stop loving you." She turned it off and I was furious. Anakin didn't tell me he was married. And he had the nerve to come back.

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way. It's certainly not the way I would've want to find out." Before I responded, Anakin came over to us with AJ in his arms.

"Hey, Ahsoka. I..." He noticed the senator there. "Padme? What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here as a messenger, Ani." He looked at me and I glared back at him.

"Ahsoka..."

"Don't even, Anakin."

"Ahsoka, I don't know what she said..."

"She said enough. You don't have to explain yourself." I took AJ from him. "But do me and your son a favor and just leave."

"Leave? Why?"

"I don't know. Maybe to be with your wife." He face turned shocked. That just made me angier.

"Wife. Ahsoka, I..."

"Save it, Anakin! I don't want to hear it!" I walked away before I said anything I shouldn't say in front of AJ.

Anakin's POV

I was so confused. Ahsoka thought I was married. There was only one way she would think that. I turned to Padme.

"Padme, what the hell did you tell her?"

"I told her that we were still married. It's for your own good, Ani."

"My own good? Padme, you just made me lose the love of my life and my son! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"Ani, you don't need her. Don't you remember when you said that we would maybe give us another try once the war was over? We still could." I couldn't believe what she just said.

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not going back to you. Especially after what you just did. She may never talk to me again and she may never let me see AJ again."

"I can give you another AJ. One you can see all the time. You'll never have to be away from him."

"Padme, you don't get it. You can't replace my first son. I'm not going to lose him because of you." I ran looking for Ahsoka. I found the twins. "Hey, girls. Have you seen Ahsoka?"

"Yeah. She took her speeder home."

"She said she wasn't feeling well and wanted us to take over practice."

"I'm gonna go check on her." I took my speeder and headed to the house. Hopefully, I'll be able to convince her that Padme was lying. Force help me now.
