Ahsoka POV

About an hour later, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and I met in a meditation room to discover where Sidious had fled to. I sat down on one of the chairs and I felt the baby move.

"Oh," I moaned.

"What?" said Anakin.

"The baby's kicking," I said.

"Let me feel," said Anakin, and he put his hand on my stomach. "Wow. That is so weird."

"You are a little over half way," said Obi-Wan. "Do you know the gender yet?"

"Found out yesterday, and told Rex last night."

"What is it?" asked Anakin.

"It's gonna be a girl, but we don't have a name for her yet."

"You have plenty of time," said Obi-Wan.

"Everything happened so fast," I said. "We dated so long that I wanted a short engagement. Then we got pregnant on the honeymoon. Now, all of sudden I have this family. I have to learn how to change diapers, and make home cooked meals. I don't know how to do any of that stuff."

"You'll learn," said Obi-Wan. "When I became Anakin's Master it was because my Master died and I asked to train Anakin. In 72 hours, I went from being cared for to being the decision maker of a ten year old, and the Chosen One at that. I did not have a clue what I was doing. But, you do things by instinct. A child needs food and attention, but they don't care if its gourmet shaak steak you spent ten hours cooking, as long as it fills their bellies, they will love you."

"My advice," said Anakin, "is to use all of your maternity leave, sleep when they sleep, and accept the fact that things are never going to be clean again."

"Yeah," I said, laughing. "You know, I did not want to be a mom so fast, but now that she is in me, I'd do anything for her."

"They're really amazing," Anakin said. "Luke saved my life. I'd be lost without him and Leia, and then Ashla and Jinn. God, I can't imagine my life without them and they're only seven months old."

"It gets even better," said Obi-Wan. "Now that I am technically the grandfather/uncle, whatever you want to call me, you get to spoil them, too. Anakin has to lay down the law, but I get to be a pushover."

"Anakin lay down the law?" I said. "Please, Padme will be the iron fist in that house. Anakin once let me have Iago angel food cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week while we were training. I was so sick."

"But I was loved," Anakin protested. "Besides it was more of a distraction method. We were home on Coruscant on leave, and I was sneaking out a lot to go see Padme. I was trying to make sure you didn't notice, so you wouldn't follow me."

"Oh God, Anakin," said Obi-Wan, placing his head in his hand and laughing.

"He also gave me the password to the adult channels on the HoloNet."

"How old were you?"

"Fifteen."

"These children are doomed."

"Hey," said Anakin, "I laid down the law when I needed to. I yelled at you a lot."

"That's laying down the law?" asked Obi-Wan, "was there any follow through."

"Yeah, I changed the password to the adult channels."

"Gah," moaned Obi-Wan. He turned and looked at me. "Please tell me Padme knows what she is doing."

"Yeah. I think it's a guy thing. I have a feeling Rex is going to be the same way. He will be the one that she runs to when they are sick of me laying down the law," I said while I rubbed my belly. "She is going to be a daddy's girl."

"And as beautiful as her mother," said Anakin.

Obi-Wan sighed. "Well, this may be my depression talking, but we must catch Sidious again to make this galaxy safe for our children."

"Yep, we got a job to do," said Anakin. "It's time to get serious."

We all sat still and concentrated for a minute. I closed my eyes to see better, but I could see nothing but blackness.

"When she is born," said Anakin. "She will be able to grab your finger. Literally the first day while she is in the medical unit. It's the most amazing thing."

"Anakin, focus," said Obi-Wan. "I will make you a deal. No more baby talk until we find Sidious, and then you can talk all you want."

"Okay. Okay," he said, and closed his eyes. "I don't see anything. But I feel the Dark Side. And space, empty, cold. He is not in a temple. He is hiding on a cruiser."

"I see an ocean," I said. "vast and blue. It's covered by endless clouds. It's beautiful."

"Do you see rain?" asked Obi-Wan.

"No, no rain," I said. "Just endless waves. Its mesmerizing."

"I see trees, and foliage, and between them a series of buildings," said Obi Wan. "Its seems simple, structured. A school the force is telling me. But not like the Jedi Temple. It does not foster learning and development. It is a place where self-exploration dies."

"I feel the Dark Side at this place," said Anakin. "It's alive, and strong. There is another building with gold statues on either side of the entrance, but the building is black and cold. This is a nexus of the dark side. This is a temple to the Dark Side, one Palpatine, himself, has been in."

We all opened our eyes. "Okay," I said. "He is hiding in space, but the planet he is orbiting has, trees, an ocean, a Sith school, and a Sith temple. Where is he?"

We all looked at each other and said, "Dromund Kaas!"
