Hey there. Awesome cliffhanger, huh? Sorry I couldn't update sooner. I just got over the flu. I'm still trying to figure out how I got it in the first place. Friday, I'm fine. Saturday, I wake up feeling like crap. Anyway, I read the reviews you guys left and boy are some of you mad. Most of you thought I killed Ahsoka. Well, slap yourselves in the face cause y'all crazy. I wouldn't kill Ahsoka. She my girl. And I want this to have a happy ending. Enjoy the update.

Anakin and Jaden were back at Luchi's hut. A medic was in the back room with Ahsoka. She was unconcious when they got out of the base. Anakin, Plo, Luchi, and Jaden were waiting in the living room to hear any news. Jaden was asleep on Luchi's lap. Anakin was being impatient. He needed to know that Ahsoka was okay. Plo could feel his anxiety.

"Skywalker, calm yourself."

"I can't. They've been in there for an hour and we still haven't heard anything. What if she doesn't make it?" Luchi gasped.

"Anakin, don't say that. You know as well as I do that Ahsoka is strong. She'll pull through. You just need to have faith." He sighed and walked out to the balcony. "He's so stressed. You think he'll be alright?"

"It only depends on if Ahsoka pulls through."

Anakin leaned on the balcony. He watched below as the Ewoks and clones worked together to fix things up in the village. Anakin couldn't help but think about if Ahsoka didn't make it. How would he go on? How could he live? How could Jaden live without his mother? More and more of these questions boggled his mind.

"Having some problems?" He turned to see Cad Bane standing in the doorway. Anakin sighed.

"What do you want?"

"Hey, I'm trying to help. I know you're troubled and confused. Wondering if she'll make it or not." He came closer.

"That day you found her in the alley, why did you help her?"

"Well, I wasn't going to leave her there. You know how dangerous downtown Coruscaunt can be."

"But, she's a Jedi. Why did you care?"

"Because I'm not the cold-hearted, animalistic bounty hunter you think I am. When it comes to the women, I can be tender. She was unconcious and alone. I helped her out. I wasn't going to leave her to die."

"What is it that you find special about her?"

"At first, there was nothing. She was just another Jedi to me, but that night she changed my view of her. With everything she told me about this life she had with you, the one that's not to be, it showed me that Jedi aren't as perfect as they think. I saw her in her weakness and at her most vulnerable. She reminded me of my wife."

"You have a wife."

"Had a wife."

"Really? What happened to her?"

"It's not something I like to talk about, but I guess someone should know. Twenty years ago, before I was a bounty hunter, I was married to a Twil'lek named Yanna. She was smart, creative, silly, a bit childish, and she had the most beautiful purple eyes. She was one of those innocent girls with a really bad past. Both her parents were killed when she was a little girl and was sold into slavery. She was running through downtown Coruscaunt when I found her. She was running from her master. I took her and hid her. We got married the next year. Everything was perfect, until her master found her. I was at work and she was home alone. I came home and found her in the kitchen, dead. A single shot through her chest. I became a bounty hunter so that I could find him and kill him myself."

"Did you ever find him?"

"Yeah. I found him on Alderaan. Just when I was about to kill him, he told me to spare him because he had a family. I killed him anyway. Yanna was my family and he took her from me. And he didn't know that she was pregnant. He took my family, so I took his life. I had planned to retire after that, but I had a niche for it. It was a basic instinct. Even now, when I'm on a mission that involves killing someone, I still think about that day that I found my wife dead and remember that I do this for her. I don't know if this is what she would want, but this is what I want."

"I'm sorry about your wife. I can only imagine what it feels like to have someone you love taken from you."

"No, you did have someone you love taken from you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ahsoka told me what happened to your mother." His head snapped up and looked at Bane.

"She told you about that?"

"She told me a lot of things about you. I am sorry for what you went through with your mother."

"Looks like we have something in common. We both lost someone we loved."

"True. And we were able to communicate without threatening to kill each other. All because of Ahsoka. I can see why you love her."

"Yeah. She smart, caring, beautiful. I'm lucky to have her."

"And she's lucky to have you." He scoffed.

"She deserves better than me. I've done nothing but hurt her & put her through hell. I don't even deserve her."

"Skywalker, you mean everything to her and I know. She's told me so much about your relationship. You've done so much for her. You gave her love, a life, and best of all, a son. Aside from your agruments and problems, she still loves you. You can't lose sight of that."

"I won't. Thanks."

"No problem." Luchi came to the doorway.

"Anakin, medic's done. Ahsoka's okay." His face lit up. "She's awake. She wants to see you."

Anakin went to her room to see her sitting up in the bed. Her arm was in a cast. She smiled when she saw him. He walked over to her bed and kissed her.

"Hey, baby."

"Hey, Soka. I'm so glad you're okay."

"I'm fine. It was a close call, but I pulled through."

"I was afraid you woudn't. I thought I was going to lose you forever." She kissed him again.

"You'll never lose me, Ani. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

"I love you, Ahsoka."

"I love you too, Anakin."

Like I said, you crazy to think I would kill Ahsoka. She lives. I have some good news and bad news for you. The bad news is Secret Life is almost over. Awww. But the good news is I'm writing a prequel, sequel, and a couple of add-ons. Yay. I still need more votes on my polls. Please vote.
