Hey, everyone. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this update and I thank you for your patience. Some of you had more than others, but I've been preoccupied with other stories. I'm finally getting to this one. Enjoy.

Three Months Later

It's been almost three months since Ahsoka saw Barriss. Three months since she was expelled from the Order. And also three months since Ahsoka found out she was pregnant. Ahsoka was a strong girl. Anyone who knew her knew that, but since Barriss' departure, Ahsoka has been on a road of self destruction, as Anakin called it. He was afraid to ever leave his Padawan by herself. Everytime he did, Ahsoka was either trying to start drinking again or trying to kill herself. This was one of those days.

Since Barriss left, Ahsoka hasn't left her room and Anakin has been keeping a close eye on her. He brought her some food from Dexter's Diner and tried to get her to eat.

"Come on, Ahsoka. You need to eat something. You haven't eaten in days."

"I'm not hungry, Master."

"Now, I KNOW that's a lie. You're three months pregnant. You're always hungry. You not eating isn't healthy for you or the baby. Do you want your baby die?"

"Master, I don't know if I even want this baby anymore."

"What are you talking about?"

"Barriss isn't here. What's the point of keeping it? I have nothing to live for and this baby would be better off dead than with me as it's mother."

"Ahsoka, don't say that. You don't mean that and Barriss wouldn't want you to kill this baby or yourself. It's her child too. I know you don't want to admit it, but this may be the only thing that you and Barriss will ever have together. You need to keep it alive and strong." She said nothing. "Please, Snips. I don't want to lose you and I don't want you to lose your baby. I know you don't mean any of the things you said. I understand that you're hurt and that you feel alone, but you aren't. There are people that are still here that love you and care about you. I do, Obi-Wan does, Padme does, Master Plo does, even Master Unduli."

"Now, I know THAT is a lie. Master Unduli doesn't care about me. She hates me. She blamed me for getting Barriss expelled. She thinks I'm nothing but a wild child with no morals or responibility and she's right! I am nothing and this baby is better off without me and I'm better off dead!" She buried her face in her pillow and cried. Anakin was shocked at every word his Padawan said. He gently rubbed her back, trying to comfort her. He figured he needed to have a little chat with Luminara, but he couldn't leave Ahsoka alone. He tapped his comlink and contacted Obi-Wan.

"Kenobi here."

"Obi-Wan, I need to step out for a minute. Can you come down here and keep an eye on Ahsoka?"

"Sure. I'll be right there. Kenobi out." A minute later, Obi-Wan showed up to the room. Anakin stood up and walked over to him. "How is she?"

"Still bad. She fell asleep, but I still don't trust to leave her alone."

"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on her."

"Thanks. I owe you one." He walked out and headed for Luminara's quarters. He saw her coming out. "Master Unduli."

"Young Skywalker, how are you?"

"Pissed as hell. Why did you say all those mean things to Ahsoka?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"You told her that she was a wild child with no morals or responsibilities and that she's nothing! Why would you say that to her? Why would you tell her those things?"

"She needed to hear it. Someone had to tell her the things she was doing were out of line and an embarrasment to the Jedi."

"Ahsoka is not an embarrassment to anyone! She has different ways of having fun and entertaining herself and others! Just because you don't approve of it doesn't mean that she's a horrible person! Barriss being gone was bad enough! Since you said those things to her, she's been going down a road of destruction!"

"You're over exaggerating."

"Am I? She hasn't left her room since Barriss was expelled! She refuses to eat anything! Anytime I leave her alone she tries to kill herself! She is wisking away to nothing because you blame her for something that Barriss chose to do on her own! Ahsoka didn't pressure her to do anything! You look at those facts and look at Ahsoka and tell me I'm over exaggerating!"

"I stand by my words, Skywalker. She brought this on herself and I suppose that she's the one over exaggerating about this whole ordeal. If she wanted to avoid all this self destruction and 'broken heartedness', she should've kept a strictly friendship status with Barriss. Barriss had a lot going for her and your Padawan took all that from her. Come back to me when you have a real reason for me to care about her." She simply walked away. Anakin was beyond mad. The woman didn't even care that she was the main reason Ahsoka was like this. He wanted to go after her. He wanted to cut her up into pieces with her own lightsaber. He wanted to feed her to a rancor. He couldn't do any of those things. It wouldn't look good as a Jedi. Instead, he went back to Ahsoka's quarters. He walked in and instead of finding Obi-Wan, he found Master Plo.

"Master Plo, what happened to Obi-Wan?"

"He was called in by the Council. He asked me to watch her."

"How was she?"

"I was able to get her to eat a little. She then went back to sleep." Anakin sat down in a chair by her bed.

"Well, at least she got some food in her system. I've never seen her like this. So... vulnerable."

"Yes. It seems that the old Ahsoka we once knew is gone." Anakin sighed.

"I just wish that there was something I could do to get the old Ahsoka back."

"Have you tried taking her to a healing session with Master Unduli? She may be able to help." He scoffed.

"She won't help. She's the main reason Ahsoka's like this."

"What do you mean?"

"Three months ago, when Barriss was expelled, Luminara told Ahsoka a lot of things that made her act this way. If Barriss being gone was bad for her, Luminara just made it ten times worse. I went to confront her about it and she just brushed it off like it was nothing. She doesn't even care if Ahsoka dies."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. If Ahsoka or this baby dies, nothing is going to keep me from killing Luminara."

"You don't mean that."

"Yes, I do. Ahsoka is my best friend. It pains me just to see her like this. Seeing her dead..." He clentched his fists. "Seeing her dead will cause all hell to break lose."

"Skywalker, revenge is not the Jedi way."

"I know. Which is why, no matter what, I am not going to let her die. I will do everything I can to make sure that she and this baby stay alive. I don't care what it takes. I am not going to let her go."

Kinda a short chapter, but it's an update. If this chapter doesn't make you hate Luminara more, then I don't know what will. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. If possible, the next one will be with Barriss and you'll finally find out where she is. Be ready for that.
