DISCLAIMER: Sabe, Rabe, Eirtae, Yane, Sache, Corde, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme belong to George Lucas. They are just playing in my world for a little bit.

"How's the search coming?" "Not good. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary." "I thought so. We've tried everything - it just doesn't seem to be working. I don't know if we are missing something or not." Obi-Wan, Sabe, Eirtae, Rabe, Sache, and Yane were walking up the Jedi Temple stairs as they were greeted by Mace Windu and Master Yoda. They all bowed out of respect for the Masters. "Welcome, girls," Mace said nodding his head. "We have three rooms which we could spare. Will that be a problem?" "No," they said shaking their heads. "Great." "Obi-Wan," Master Yoda said after his counterpart was finished. The young knight turned to the little Jedi and said, "Yes Master Yoda?" " The senator found, we have not. Time is closing in." Obi-Wan looked at Sabe and the other girls and saw their forlorn faces. Master Windu, sensing the younger knight's feelings, motioned for them to go on in. All six people bowed and made their way in.

"Here we are," Obi-Wan said as he stepped out of the turbolift. "Your rooms are right here. If you have any problems, just let me know." "Thank you, Master Kenobi," Yane said as they began to disperse. Rabe and Sache went into one while Yane chose the single room. Eirtae and Sabe went into the only room left followed by Obi-Wan. As the girls chose their beds for the night, Obi-Wan began to talk to them. "I want to apologize for the crisis you must be going through. I can't imagine what it must be like..." The room was silent before Eirtae cleared her throat. "Obi-Wan," Sabe said, "We've got to talk. Is there some place where we can be alone?" "Yea, actually," he said, "Qui-Gon and I used to go there a lot to talk. Come on, let's go."

~*~*~

Stepping off the turbolifts, Sabe drew in a gasp. "This is beautiful." They were overlooking the city of Coruscant as the sun was setting. "Now, Sabe, what is it that you want to talk to me about?" "Do you remember our last night together before you left with Anakin for the Byss mission?" "How could I forget? The threat of death was very real. I thought about you the whole time." She smiled at his words, but her smile didn't last long. "Well...something...um, something came out of it." She started staring at the skyline, trying not to catch his gaze. "What...what do you mean?" "Obi-Wan...you're the father of a healthy son." She didn't have to be a Jedi to know his feelings. "What? Sabe, you've got to be kidding. I'm a father?" "Yes." "Why didn't you contact me on Coruscant?" "Think about it, Obi. You were gone on the Byss mission for a long time. After I tried to contact you, the Council said they had sent you on another mission to the planet Corellia. Around that time Padme left office and we moved out to the country." He stayed silent as she continued. "Around the time he was born, Padme took up the Senatorial position and moved to Coruscant. She wanted me to come with her..." "...but you were in no condition to travel..." "Exactly. Rabe, Eirtae, Sache, and Yane helped me raise him." He closed his eyes in silence for a few minutes. "Obi?" "Sabe, I really need some alone time for awhile." She tried to put her hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off. She pulled back and, nodding her head, quietly turned around and left.

Back at the room, she found that Eirtae was reading a book. "How did it go?" "I don't know. He seemed to take it okay but he wanted some time to himself." "We'll be here for you, Sabe, if everything doesn't work out." "I know you guys will," she said as she flopped down on her bed, looking at her friend. Eirtae smiled, but that disappeared as she noticed Sabe get up. "What is it?" "Did you know we have a message?" "No..." Figuring her friend would take care of it, the blonde turned back to her book. She didn't even take any notice when Sabe grabbed her cloak and ran out of the room.

About 15 minutes later, she heard a knock at the door. "Sabe?" She went over and opened it, revealing Obi-Wan. "Eirtae, have you seen Sabe?" "She left about...15 to 20 minutes ago. Why?" "Do you know where she went? I really need to talk to her - I fear she thinks I'm mad at her." "I don't know. She came over here to the hologram projector," she said as she walked over. Noticing that the message hadn't been deleted, she looked to the man. Nodding to press the play button, the blonde did. An image of Corde appeared.

Sabe...I really hope you get this message - this was where I was told I could reach you. I just remembered something which I wanted to push out of my mind. Before I got on the turbolift in the apartments heading to the Chambers, I noticed a man wearing a Senatorial uniform nearby. He was young and had black hair. I just remembered it awhile ago and thought I should tell you if it can help. Good luck.

The image flashed off the screen and the two looked at each other. "Why didn't I realize it before? Padme must be hidden in the one place we wouldn't think to look - the Senatorial Chambers!" "I'll go get the girls, Obi-Wan. You go alert the Jedi Council." "Quickly. We don't have much time."

Well...that was fun. So, Obi-Wan FINALLY knows about his son. I'm planning one more real chapter and an Epilogue. You are going to hate me - I want 7 reviews total; the two new ones must be from two different people! I don't care if they reviewed before or not.

Coming soon:

"Journey to the Past" Another Sabe/Obi-Wan fic told through the eyes of Sabe. More detailed plot coming soon!
