Chapter Twenty One


As the next few weeks passed, Obi-Wan and I were still a bit weary of each other since our big fight concerning the Delford situation, though we were getting through it. Anakin was growing like a weed and was constantly in our kitchen, and being pregnant, so was I. I often wondered how my husband actually put up with both of us or if any of us would make it to the baby's birth.

Anyway, I went back to work after my medical leave was over and feeling like normal again, well as close to normal as I could get being half way through my term. The only thing that bothered me was that I was completely grounded. The Council wouldn't let me go on an away mission, neither would Jema, Master Jessie or my husband. Of course, I didn't mind too much as long as they let me leave the Temple now and then, so I wouldn't go stir crazy before I had the baby.

So, most days I would help the office keep organized and running smoothly and Jema always had lots of paperwork for me to do. Dede, Jema and I often got together and talked about things, especially the baby. It was on of our chat sessions that they told me that Obi-Wan and I needed to pick a name. Realizing how right they were, I decided to bring it up to him that night.

"Isn't it about time that we decide on a name?" I asked as I brushed out my hair that same evening.

Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow. "And do you have any suggestions?"

"I have several names in mind." I straight out told him as we were getting ready for bed. "Besides, we've got a feel for her and I think she wants us to name her. Jema and Dede both told me we had to decide on one soon."

Obi-Wan pulled me against him as he crawled into bed next to me. "That makes sense, but what's your feel for it?"

I knew he was making fun of me, but I ignored it. "Something strong because she is, but something feminine at the same time."

"Like you." He glanced down at me, placing a gentle kiss on my lips. "Strong and independent, but having a wonderful heart."

I smiled as I snuggled close to my husband. "You have any ideas?"

He shrugged. "A few. We can discuss this in the next few days." He told me as I couldn't help, but yawn. It had been a long day.

With soothing waves from the Force I easily feel asleep in warm, strong arms.


So, over the next while we talked about names nearly every chance we could. Of course, I was thinking of the names I liked, mostly being more familiar ones from Earth and Obi-Wan came up with some ones I could barely even pronounce. We argued constantly over this and Anakin got quite a laugh over our stupid fights. Of course, we would often ask him to pick between us.

"Don't put me in the middle." He finally protested one night. "I won't pick. Either way, my Master or worse yet, his pregnant wife, is not going to like it."

Obi-Wan and I glanced at each other in shame, realizing we were acting like children. After we apologized, Anakin calmly suggested to come up with a list and make a decision from that and make a compromise.

"When did you get so wise?" Obi-Wan asked him, noticing the boy that he first met on Tatooine was growing up.

Anakin shrugged. "While you two were arguing like the initiates."

We could both tell by the smirk on his face that he was just playing with us. After having a much-needed laugh, we went back to eating our dinner and started to talk about something else.

It was a day or so later that we sat down like rational adults and discussed the issue.

"Where I come from names are important and often mean something. Not just a bunch of letters put together." I started out as we were getting ready for bed.

He turned and looked at me. I could tell I shocked him with that latest statement. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. It's…just…." I sat down on the edge of our bed, in tears. Sometimes my emotions where constantly swinging from one pendulum to the next. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't control them all the time.

I heard him sigh as he came down and sat next to me. "I know you didn't. You are entitled to a few mood swings."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Only a few?"

He slipped an arm around me and pulled me close against him, laughing at my question. "Meagan, in all seriousness, Anakin is right. I don't like fighting with you, especially now."

"I know." I started out, wiping my eyes dry. "I don't like fighting either, but sometimes comments fly out of my mouth before I can even think. So whatever odd things I say, forget it."

"I know." He leaned down and placed a kiss on my cheek. "I love you."

I looked up at him. "I love you too."

Our lips touched gently and then grew in intensity. Suddenly the baby kicked between us. Instantly we both pulled back and Obi-Wan's hands followed the baby's movements for several moments until she settled back down.

"We still have to decide on a name." He made the comment as I climbed into bed a little while later.

I settled against the pillows, trying to get comfortable, which was slowly becoming harder as my term progressed. "I know."

He lay down next to me and slowly rubbed the small of my back, helping me relax. "You could pick one and I could pick the other one."

I considered this for a second. "That sounds like an idea. How will we decide which name will be first?"

Obi-Wan stopped rubbing my back and pulled it against his chest, keeping his arms firmly around my middle. "I don't know. We could flip a credit."

With that I burst out laughing.

"And why do you laugh at that? Do you have a better idea?"

"Yes, I do." I managed to quit laughing and couldn't resist teasing him. "We could flip a quarter."

"What's a quarter?" He asked me, seeing the laughter in my eyes.

"Twenty-five cent coin on Earth. We flip them like you flip credits."

"Well, do you have one?"

"Did you see anything with me when I first appeared?"

"Actually no. But I didn't see you appear anywhere."

"I still don't have one. So, if we can't decide you can flip a credit."

"Then why did you even bring this up?" Obi-Wan asked me, annoyed, but I could hear the smile in his words.

"I just couldn't help myself." I snuggled close to him, yawning.

He shook his head and kissed my temple. "Get some rest Meagan. We can talk about this later."

It was only a few minutes later that I fell into a deep sleep.

*******

The next morning I awoke quite early, not liking it at all. I changed my position slightly, trying to give the baby some more room. However, she was awake and wanted her mother up too. I gently rubbed my swollen stomach, sending calming waves to her through the Force. It worked at first, but it wasn't long before she was kicking me again, letting me know she wanted her breakfast.

Groaning, I sat up and was about to climb out of bed, when Obi-Wan reached out to me.

"Meagan, what are you doing up this early?"

I tried not to glare at him. "You might want to take that up with your daughter."

"Come here." This time he did reach me and pulled me back into his arms. His hands gently massaged my back and middle. He didn't say a word, but I could feel the hum of the Force flowing between all three of us. Feeling warm and comforted at the strong connection that included our daughter, I easily feel back asleep.

*******

Through the next month or so, we wrote down names and tried putting our ideas together, but nothing sounded just right. The baby continued to grow inside of me and in the Force. The Healers told me that both of us were strong and healthy. Obi-Wan and I continued to work on fixing the spare room up for her, having already got some things for her. We weren't done with it yet, but would be by the time the baby came several months later.

Late one night when I couldn't sleep, which was becoming more common than it used to be, I felt the child move within me, readjusting herself. Sighing, I rolled back over, snuggling closer to Obi-Wan, trying to fall back asleep.

"Can't sleep?" He quietly asked me.

I nodded my head as he reached out and touched my cheek.

"She keeping you awake again?"

I shrugged, rubbing my middle, hoping our baby would settle down. "A little. Neither of us can sleep."

Obi-Wan covered his hand over my own. "I love you."

I smiled, blinking away sudden tears. "I love you too."

He leaned over, placing a kiss on my lips. "Try and get some rest."

I yawned as I felt the Force connection between us hum softly. It was almost as if I could feel her reach out her small fingers and curl them around my own. I could almost hear her laughter at her Father's gentle touch. It wasn't long before I feel asleep, but I awoke suddenly not quite an hour later, sitting straight up.

"Sasha Cyrilla Kenobi." I said out loud.

"What?" I heard him groan I repeated her name and glanced at Obi-Wan, who was finally coming awake again. "It was almost like I could see her and it fit."

He sounded the name out on his own lips, smiling. He pulled me back to bed. "I like it." He gently rubbed my stomach. "Where did Sasha come from?"

I thought for a second and then it dawned on me. "My great, great grandmother's name was Sasha. I never met her, but she was one of the bravest women I'd ever heard about. After her husband was tragically killed, she picked up her six children and moved across the country into a somewhat explored area and managed to support herself and the children. And there were times were she defended and stood up for what she believed in, despite what others thought."

Obi-Wan remained quiet while I talked. Then he asked quietly. "What does the name mean?"

"Defender of man kind."

"Sounds more than appropriate for a Jedi."

He pulled me close again, and I smiled, knowing we found the right name.



AN: Well, Sasha is now officially in the store since they've finally named their baby!!!!! Were any of you wondering when Sasha would come into story?????? Anyway, we thought a shorter, more sappy chapter would work good here to balance out the more previous chapters that were a bit more tense with the hostage situation and the fight between Obi-Wan and Meagan....Hope you continue to read and review!!! Thanks for sticking with us despite the fact we haven't updated in a while.


And just for laughs....our LOTR quote for the chapter......"You couldn't have picked a better spot. What's going on? I can't see..." "Would you like to me describe it to you or do you want me to get you a box?" Gimil and Legalos during the Two Towers Helm's Deep scene.....(though the quote might not be exactly correct.....though we both love that part!)
