Ten years later, Napaj Prime . . .

Obi-Wan held back tears as he held his eight year old daughter close with one arm and held his three year old son in the other.

Siri Tachi, the Jedi Knight that he had admired for years, bad been killed.

He had tried to talk her into either leaving years ago but she had said that she could be pretend to be his wife. He had considered telling her no but the thought that his daughter, Mara, no longer had her mother was an incentive.

He had reasoned that Mara would need a female guide in her life. After a time he had considered telling Siri to take Mara and leave him; but when he had asked her Siri had refused. She had told him that Mara had already lost her mother; she didn't need to lose her father.

The thought of Satine pained him. He had taken refuge on Mandalore and they decided to rebuild their relationship. Mara had been born less than a year later.

Obi-Wan had stayed there for nearly two years when the Empire came. It had been decided that they would take separate escape routes.

Obi-Wan had reached the ship where the guard that had Mara was waiting: Satine was nowhere to seen. The guard had given little Mara to him and the guard had told him to board the ship with her.

Shortly after they had boarded he had felt Satine's distress than felt her life force start to dim. The gangplank was shut when he had tried to go to her aid and then the ship lifted off.

"She ordered me to take you to safety if this was to happen." The guard had said as they broke the atmosphere.

A short time later Mara had started crying as Satine joined the Force.

He had shed more tears than he remembered ever shedding for anyone.

Siri and him had met on accident but he needed help watching her since the guard that had taken him and Mara to safety had taken the ship elsewhere in an effort to lead the Empire away from little Mara and him.

"Momma?" little Rayvon whimpered.

With tears running down his cheeks he led headed away; half dragging a shell shocked Mara.

Shili . . .

Soka Sci-Fi held her daughter Asha close as she walked through the streets of the village she and her husband, Tesel, lived. No one would recognize her as Ahsoka Tano; wanted Jedi Padawan. With face paint that barely came off and more conservative clothes no one would be the wiser.

Asha was only a few weeks old but now Ahsoka understood that she would die to protect her little girl.

A squad of storm troopers came around a corner and Ahsoka held her head up and showed a little fear as possible.

After they passed she continued to peruse the contents of the open air market.

She headed for a stall that sold things for babies and toddlers. After looking at a few baby quilts she selected a pretty yellow one with green flowers on it.

With that she headed home.

She loved Tesel but he had a deep dislike for the Empire and she didn't wish for him to be injured or worse if he wasn't careful.

She thanked the Force the the Imperial big shot would be gone in a few days.

Anakin watched as Luke and Leia helped organize boxes of produce with one of their cousins, Aryaih, in all ways that counted in the courtyard of the Lars' Moisture Farm. Jinn and Riely were drawing pictures and giggling at something. Kai and Seria were playing with their dolls in the shade of a canopy.

Anakin headed for the kitchen to kiss his wife before going back out to help Owen and Cliegg harvest some more crops.

He smiled at the sight of Mikayla, Manish and Dayvyd in a child pen with some toys. They all smiled at him as he walked by.

He planted a kiss on Padme's forehead.

"We'll be back in time for the evening meal." He told her.

I know that it's short but as I said it's a bridge chapter so of course it's going to be a bit on the short side.
