Xox-Anakin's POV-xox

The sunlight seeped in through the smoggy cover over Coruscaunt, and the blinds, leaving soft lines of warming yellow light across the bed. The soft hum of machines outside of the apartment was almost soothing after three days in bed. The soft and warm sheets were incredibly inviting after three days in that dreadful hospital. The soft sound of giggles carried from the living room as Kiara played with Luke and Leia, allowing me my sleep. I was currently on my stomach because it still hurt a good deal to sleep on my back. This was most likely why I had come to find it difficult to sleep. I only had two ways to sleep, on my stomach and my left side. I finally gave up and shifted to my left side, watching the blur of moving speeders in the air, their path unknown to me. My finger began to absentmindedly trace patterns on the sheets. I'd only been here a couple of hours and already I was bored. There was a soft knock on the door.

"Anakin, are you awake still?" Kiara asked.

"Yeah, it's impossible to sleep" I muttered.

"Well, I just put Luke and Leia down for a nap after their lunch, I could fix us something to eat if you like, then take a nap with you?" she asked, her voice sweet and caring.

"Hmm… actual food, yes please" I said, turning to see she was sitting on the edge of the bed. She got closer and kissed me lightly on my cheek before disappearing.

I sighed and looked back at the window, trying to remember the last time I actually went out for some fun. Mostly then fun had been talking to Obi-wan and Anna, but lately, I was missing riding my beloved speeder. The wind in my hair, the angry drivers beside me cursing me out for going too fast, it was exciting and fun. Kiara walked in with a plate filled with two sandwiches, two bowls of soup, and a couple of carrots.

"Dig in!" she exclaimed, setting the food down in front of me before taking a bowl of soup and starting. I picked up a sandwich and took a rather large bite out of it. "Hungry much? I know hospital food sucks, but still" I noticed the sarcasm was thick.

"hmm… yeah, I missed your cooking. Can I have some coffee?" She gave me a look that said 'are you serious'

"Not a chance" she muttered, picking up her sandwich and nibbling on it.

"Even if I do this?" I asked, nudging her sandwich down and kissing her softly.

"Sorry Anakin, but you need to sleep" she said, placing emphasis on 'need'. "You'll go insane if you don't sleep"

"I thought we had already discussed this. I am insane" she laughed. I missed her laugh, she'd been so worried about something while I was resting in the hospital, she just wasn't all there. I kissed her again, enjoying her full presence.

"hmm… how's your back anyways?" she asked.

"Fine" I said

"Liar" she muttered.

"Maybe," I said, finishing my sandwich now. I moved onto the soup as she ate a carrot.

"Eat a carrot" she said, handing me one. I made a face.

"It'll help, and it'll make me happy" she said. I took the carrot and ate it quickly.

"Stupid evil carrot" I mumbled.

"Don't call the carrot names, save that for the broccoli Obi-wan will force you to eat tonight" Kiara said.

"He'll have to shove it down my mouth for me to eat it" I told her.

"hmm…" she said, deep in thought. She finished her soup and handed the last of her sandwich to me. I ate it and she cleaned up. When she walked in, she snuggled up as closely to me as she could manage without worrying of hurting me in anyway. Her warm breath was soothing to the point I was fast asleep in a matter of minutes. We must have slept for a while, because when I woke up, it was twilight and Kiara was still asleep. I struggled silently to sit up, not wanting to wake her up. When I finally succeeded, I pulled her close, her head was resting on my shoulder.

She stirred occasionally but always became still again, her warm breath warming my skin, occasionally she mumbled in her sleep, mostly "Anakin" and "Luke" or "Leia" and quite often the beautiful "I love you". She was so lovely when she slept. A soft smile whenever she sensed someone she loved nearby, her hair going this way and that, curls falling softly around her face. Finally she stirred and woke up, her eyes fluttering open. She sat up and stretched with a muted yawn. Turning to me she smiled and kissed me softly.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"About six, love, the twins have been quiet all night" I told me, smiling.

"Really?" she asked surprised.

"yep, not one peep" I told her.

Her face changed, she became panicked and ran out of the room to the twin's room. "Kiara? Kiara, what's wrong?" She came back, a relieved look on her face.

"Sorry, it's just, since the last incident, I'm not too easy when they stay quiet for long periods of time" she said. I immediately understood.

"Completely understandable, why don't you bring them in here?" I asked. She smiled and nodded, walking out with soft, happy leaps. A few minutes later she reappeared with Luke on her left hip, Leia on her right. She handed me Luke and held Leia close to herself. Leia contently watched as Luke giggled, rolling on his stomach. Luke, finally getting bored, crawled over to Leia, touching the bridge of her nose, causing Leia to cross her eyes. Luke giggled at her sister.

"Hey Luke, watch" Kiara said as she knelt close and crossed her own eyes. Luke giggled again. "Sweet child" she murmured to him.

She began twirling Luke's soft locks of hair while Leia hid her hand in Kiara's loose curls, fingering each strand. Finally, getting bored, she held her hand out to me. Picking her up from Kiara's lap, I held her close. Kiara smiled at me.

"How'd we get so lucky?" she asked.

"I don't know"

Xox

I woke up to see Kiara sleeping soundly next to me, Leia in her arms, Luke in-between her and I. I stroked his soft, young head with my good arm, causing him to stir slightly. I attempted turning, wincing as a bit of pain followed. I continued to stroke Luke's soft blond hair. After a while, I heard a soft knock. I reached out with the force, sensing it was Obi-wan. I used the force to open the door. He must have found his way here, because I heard him walk in.

"How is everyone?" he asked. I turned to look at him.

"Good Master, how are you?" I whispered.

"Fine, Anna's going to the hospital for a check-up. Would you like anything to eat?" he asked.

"I would, but you're cooking sucks" I told him in a matter-of-fact tone.

"You're one to talk" Obi-wan stated.

"And that is your fault" I told him.

Obi-wan laughed and walked towards the bed, picking Luke up. "How is it you woke up before Kiara?"

"She's exhausted. I just wish that stupid doctor would let me walk." Obi-wan opened his mouth to say something, but I held my hand, saying "I know Master, I have been listening to the doctor, I just don't like it"

"Well, I can make eggs, I'll fix something up for you two" he said, handing me Luke.

I held my sleeping child, as he walked off. Time passed easily. I timed it with Kiara's long, steady breaths and kept myself occupied entertaining Luke. After a while, Obi-wan walked in with a tray and some food. He sat it down in front of me and sat on the nearby chair. I looked at the plate with disgust.

"What? It's eggs sunny side up and toast" he complained.

"More like eggs raw side up" I muttered. I took a piece of rather burnt toast and took a bite, the bread practically turning into dust. "and the toast tastes like cardboard and dirt"

"How would you know what that tastes like?" Kiara asked groggily. I hadn't taken notice of her waking up. She looked up at me with tired eyes, her head still on my shoulder.

"Um… let's just say Obi-wan got revenge on me for one of my many pranks" I explained. I felt a slight heat against my cheeks, she smiled and let out a soft, musical laugh.

"Yes, and still he never learned better" Obi-wan commented.

Kiara murmured something to the effect of "why would you expect him to?" but I just grinned down at her.

I ate quickly, trying hard not to taste the food. "Obi-wan, why are you trying to poison my husband?" Kiara asked eventually. I burst out laughing, for Obi-wan was at lost for a come-back. Pain ripped through my back, bringing Kiara's worried face back when I winced. She sat up on her own, afraid it was her doing I winced in pain. I pouted, earning a carefree laugh from her.

Xox-Kiara's POV-xox

I looked upon the two adults in front of me. I could clearly tell who they were. One was a tall, young man, maybe nineteen, with deep blue eyes and sandy blond hair, the spitting image of Anakin, which meant this boy was none other than Luke. The woman beside him looked so incredibly like me that I found it frightening. The only noticeable difference was she was at least an inch or two taller than I was, and she had warm brown eyes. Her hair cascaded down her back, flowing in soft waves, without my child's curls. She had to be Leia. They looked back at me and smiled.

"More like eggs raw side up" an angel's voice murmured. I opened my eyes to find Anakin sitting up, leaning against the headboard, while I was somewhere between laying down and sitting up, my head resting against his strong shoulder. Luke had curled up with Leia, who was now beside me. "And the toast tastes like cardboard and dirt"

"How would you know what that tastes like?" I asked. I looked up at him, his electric blue eyes peering deep into my cores.

"Um… let's just say Obi-wan got revenge on me for one of my many pranks" he told me. His cheeks flushed in a muted color of pink, but I still had the satisfaction of his lovely blush.

"Yes, and still he never learned better" Obi-wan commented.

"Why, did you expect him to?" I muttered to myself. Anakin looked down and grinned at me, earning himself one of my own. He took a bite of his eggs, which looked disgusting, and the toast was burnt so badly I feared it was thick cardboard coated in black mud. He took another bite, and I noticed he wasn't taking time to taste it. "Obi-wan, why are you trying to poison my husband?" I asked him. He turned to me, at lost for what to say. Anakin burst out laughing, but I could feel pain from him rip through me and I saw him wince. My mind went into panic. I sat up and repositioned myself so I was a few feet away, facing him. His lips formed a pout, and an irresistible pout at that, making me forget the last moment and laughing.

Anakin managed to eat his "meal" without complaint. When Obi-wan went to clean it, I put the twins in their cribs and walked back into the bedroom.

"What now?" Anakin asked.

"Read?" I suggested bored. He shrugged with one shoulder and I brought him some reading material.

Xox-three weeks later-xox

I was sitting there in the living room, Leia and Luke were asleep, and I believe Anakin was sleeping, but I was never sure these days. The sun was pouring through the balcony and into the living room, leaving me opportunity to wrap myself in its blanket of warmth. I sipped my tea quietly, the warm liquid swirling along my throat, leaving a peaceful presence even after it had long left. I heard soft steps, but thought nothing of it, I was too far in my meditation to care. The soft thuds came closer and stopped. I didn't look up. Warm hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who?" a playful voice asked. My smile grew and I turned around to see Anakin standing behind the couch. I got up and ran to hug him, careful not to hurt him.

"You're okay to walk?" I asked. He grinned and nodded.
