Two months have gone by since Mina's birthday. Ahsoka's almost five months pregnant and Mina's happy because she found out she's going to have a little brother. She and Ahsoka went out to the store to get thigns for when he's born.

"Mommy, what's my brother's name?"

"Your Daddy and I haven't decided on anything yet."

"Can we name him Benji?"

"Mina, we're not naming the baby after your little boyfriend."

"Well, when we have a baby, we're going to name him Benji Jr."

"You never know. Over time, your opinion on that will change."

"Not it won't. I want my son to be named Benji. I can't wait to have a baby."

"Oh, yes you can. You shouldn't even be thinking about that right now. You're only three. You won't be having one until you're married."

"But you and Daddy had me before you were married."

"That's different, Mina. Your Daddy and I thought we weren't going to see each other again the night you were conceived."

"What's that?"

"That's when you make a baby."

"How are babies made? And where do they come from?"

"That's a conversation we're going to have when you're older."

"How much older?"

"A lot older."

"Mommy, how old do I have to be?"

"Mina, your Daddy and I will have this talk with you when you're at least thirteen. When you start going through puberty."

"What's that? It should like it hurts."

"No. It doesn't hurt. It just means when you start becoming a young lady."

"I thought I was a young lady."

"No. You're a child right now. You become a young lady at thirteen. Some Togrutas mature early, like I did. Some mature late."

"I'm human and Togruta. Where does that put me?"

"I'm not sure. Most mixed species depends on how fast their parents' matured. I matured early. I don't know about your father. You'll have to ask him about that."

"Mommy, will the baby look like me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Will it have orange skin and hair like me?"

"I don't know. There's no telling how he'll look. He may look more human, more Togruta, orange skin and hair like you or white skin with montrals. No way to know."

"How did you find out I would look like this?"

"You were born."

"Mommy..."

"We didn't know how you would look. All we knew is that you were going to be an adorable baby, a cute little girl, and in the future you're going to be a beautiful woman."

"You think so?"

"I know so, baby. And we know that you're brother will grow up the same way."

"He's going to be a woman?" Ahsoka laughed at her daugther's silly question.

"No, baby. He's going be an adorable baby like you were, an cute little boy, and grow into a handsome young man like your father."

"Mommy, I wanna know what he'll look like."

"So do I, but we have to wait until he's born. There's a lot of ways he can look. He may have my blue eyes or your father's brown eyes. He could have montrals like me or hair like your father. We can't know for sure."

"How much long until he's born?"

"At least four more months. He may be late or early like you were."

"I was early?"

"Yes. You were two weeks early."

"Mommy, if he's here in your stomach, where will he come out?"

"Mina, we'll talk about that when you're older. Why are you so eagar to grow up?"

"I'm not. I want to know these things. I'm just..."

"Nosy?"

"I was gonna say curious. Is that a bad thing that I'm curious?"

"No. That just means you're eagar to learn. That's a good thing. At least we know you'll do well in school."

"I'm already well in school."

"Mina, as you get older, the school you'll be exposed to will be different every year. Each year you'll learn something different. Some will be harder, some will come easy to you."

"Math is something that will be harder for me."

"Don't worry. You have Benji to help you with that. He seems very good at math."

"Benji's good at everything."

"Mina, you're a smart girl. You're three years old and you speak as if you're eleven. Not a lot of children are that special. Who knows? You may skip a few grades in the future. You may graduate at an early age."

"Did you?"

"Mina, you have to remember, I spent most of my life at the temple. We were taught in the way of the Jedi. We don't learn what everyone else learns."

"What about Daddy?"

"He graduated when I was five months pregnant with you. A few months after you were born, the Senate wanted him to represent your grandma Mina. He saw it as an opportunity to support us. He wanted you to have a great childhood. You're Daddy's little girl. He only wanted to keep both of us happy."

"I'm happy. He's the best Daddy ever. Are you happy, Mommy?"

"Yes, Mina. He's the best Daddy to you and the best husband to me. I couldn't ask for anything more. I believe that leaving the temple to be with him is the best decision I've made."

"Don't you miss being at the temple?"

"A little, but I have more important things do like be a wife to your father and a mother to you and your future brother. If I didn't leave the temple, you wouldn't be here."

"What do you mean?"

"If I had stayed at the temple and you were born there, the Council would've taken you away from me. They would've sent you to Shili."

"Why Shili?"

"I was born there. They would find my family and leave you with them. I left so Lux and I could keep you. Your Uncle Ani and Obi-Wan came to Rexus months later and tried to convince me to come back to the temple. Instead, you ended up being born and they changed their minds about taking me back and about taking you away. I'm glad I came back."

"I'm glad you didn't let them take me."

"I would never let them take you. Ever." Mina was about to respond, but she had a weird feeling. Ahsoka could sense her conflict. "What is it?"

"I... feel something. Someone's here and I don't like him."

"Mina, what..." She then saw what Mina felt. "Jack, what the hell are you doing here? I thought I said I never wanted to see you again."

"I know, but I can't stay away from you."

"Well, you better learn to. I don't want you around me or my family."

"You big meany. I'm not a freak." She went over and kicked him in the shin.

"Ow!" Ahsoka just stood there as Mina hid behind her mother's leg. "You're not going to say something to her?"

"Why should I? You insulted her by calling her a freak." He sighed.

"Look, I never meant any of it."

"Don't tell me. Tell her."

"I shouldn't have to explain myself to an insolate child."

"Hey! She's my daugther and you will not talk about her that way! Especially, not right in front of her!"

"Well..." He sighed. "Look, Ahsoka, I didn't come here to argue with you. I just want to apologize. You and I both know how bad my temper is. I say things I don't mean."

"Like when you called me a stuck up bitch?"

"I didn't mean it. I just want you to forgive me."

"Forgive you? Last time I forgave you, you kissed me! You know I'm married and have a child! I don't want to forgive you. I don't want to see you, talk to you or even think about you. I just want you out of my life. Come on, Mina. We're going home." She took the little girl's hand and walked away. Jack refused to give up that easily. He caught up to them and got in front of them.

"Ahsoka, I don't want to fight with you."

"Then leave."

"I just want to talk to you."

"What part of I don't want to talk to you do you not understand? I don't want to talk to you, see you, or think about you."

"But I think about you all the time. You're always on my mind because I know how much I hurt you those years ago. Everytime I see your face in my mind, I get upset because I know what I did, or tried to do, to you and I'm sorry that I did. Please, forgive me and bring me peace. If you forgive me, I promise I'll never bother you again. I'll never come back and bother you." Mina looked up at Ahsoka.

"Mommy, can you just forgive him so he can leave us alone?" She looked down at her small daugther.

"It's not that easy, Mina. You're too young to understand why." She looked back to Jack. "I'm sorry, Jack, but I can't commit myself to something I don't mean. You can't just come back and expect my forgiveness just because you ask for it. You have to earn it and my respect, and so far you're not deserving of it."

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me for what I've done to you?"

"Unless you can change the past, I will never forgive you."

"Ahsoka, please. There has to be something else. Please. I don't want you to be mad at me anymore. Please. I will do anything just so you can forgive me."

"There's nothing you can do, Jack. Just leave me and my family alone."

"Ahsoka..."

"No! I will never ever forgive you." She pulled Mina along as they left him. Mina turned and saw him still standing where he was, watching them leave. she looked up at Ahsoka.

"Mommy? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mina."

"What about him? Now, he's never going to leav us alone."

"Don't worry, baby. If he knows what's good for him, he'll stay away." They got in their speeder and went home.
