Ahsoka's POV
The sound of the ship's turbo rang in my ears as I exited the Resolute. Anakin was supporting my left arm as I stepped down the landing steps, groaning in pain each time I lowered myself. I was glad when my feet finally touched the ground of the temple's courtyard. Masters Yoda and Plo were waiting by the huge silver doors of the temple, a familiar sight for me. I always returned back to temple after a mission, but not necessarily in this situation. Rex was due on Ryloth with Master Mundi, so R2 accompanied us to the temple.
What worried me was that my master was due to leave for Felucia, so that would mean I would be without a regular companion until he returns. I would have to find someone around the temple to stay with me. He had tried many times to get out of his leave, but the council disagreed, whatever the circumstances. I actually agreed with the council. My pregnancy was already affecting my jedi training; they don't need another being disrupted.
Master Plo took my hand as I entered the temple. The large beige columns were exactly as I last saw those months ago. A few ceremonial candles were lighten, which the jedi only did when an important occasion had occurred. I wanted to be modest but I chuckled to myself.
"The Chancellor would like to have a word with you Ahsoka," Master Plo stated, showing us to the east tower's turbolift. "and after that, I believe Master Skywalker will show you to your room."
Anakin took my arm from Plo as R2, he and I entered the lift. The doors shut and the figures of Master Plo and Yoda shrunk before the lift went into complete darkness. The gravity unbalanced me and I leaned on Anakin more, bumping into R2 in the process. I swallowed deeply and took a breath as the turbolift came to a halt.
The doors opened with a slow hiss and the communications room appeared out of the darkness of the lift shaft. The scarlet room had large oval window in the front, showing the busy daytime streets of Coruscant. Two short chairs and a transmition pod sat in the middle of the room, like the one back on Nilban.
Anakin lowered me slowly into one of the chairs. I clutched onto the back of his robe until I was comfortably in the seat. R2 pulled up beside me as Anakin stood in front of the transmition pod.
He pushed a black button, and the aging face of the Chancellor appeared before us.
"Hello Anakin." The Chancellor greeted my Master with a warm grin.
"Hello Chancellor." Anakin answered back. "What is the urgent message you wanted to tell my padawan?"
"Ahh yes, the message is about your pregnancy, Tano." The Chancellor then turned towards me. I always felt intimidated around the Chancellor. I don't know why but I did. "I heard that the droid taking care of the fetus was destroyed in the ambush on Nilban."
"That is correct, Chancellor." I sat up a bit in my chair, trying not to look weak.
"Well I would like to introduce you to Dr. Kayril, I licensed physician back on Nilban. The Chancellor motioned off to a blue skinned man who walked on the hologram. He was wearing a long white robe with numerous tools I could not identify. He had dark maroon eyes and a square chin. He looked quite friendly and experienced. The type of doctor I wanted.
"I have arranged him to assist in the following months of your pregnancy." The Chancellor motioned towards the man. He nodded slightly in agreement.
"I look forward to helping you through this situation, Miss Tano." The doctor's voice was low and sharp. I was happy I was referred to as something other than "padawan"; even if it was someone other than a jedi.
"I also am looking forward. Thank you doctor." I finished with a subtle smile.
"The doctor will leave for the temple momentarily, Anakin." The Chancellor turned back to Skyguy along with Dr. Kayril.
I began to feel for the child's kick around my stomach. I had found out from my "previous" doctor that since the fetus was incrusted with midi-chlorians, that its actions would be more hyperactive then a regular child. Sure enough, a soft, comforting motion pushed against my hand.
"Yes, Chancellor. I will stay in contact with you aswell." Anakin answered. The two nodded before Anakin waved his hand over the transmition pod.
Skyguy turned to me and clutched my hand helping me up from the chair. The Coruscant sun had now begun to set, illuminating the room in amber orange. We entered the turbolift slowly. My lower legs had started to ache. I told Anakin this on the way back to my dorm. He merely decided I should get some rest. He sat me down on my bed with ease. He gently pulled the covers up to my waist. Before he started for the door, he kissed my forehead.
"Thanks for being so honest with me Snips, It makes my job helping you and the child a lot easier." He spoke over his shoulder as R2 followed him out the door.
His thank you had been true. I never though telling him minor aches and pains could be so helpful. However, there still was one thing I had been hesitant to tell him; my experience back in the medical ward on Nilban.
"Master, I have to tell you about a dream I had." Tears had started to well up in my eyes before I began to talk.
