* I have kept you waiting, now hurry up and read!
The familiar surroundings and faces of the Jedi Temple warmed Obi-wan and made him feel at home. The same way it did every time he returned from his missions. He welcomed this feeling because he had always felt so lost and alone when he traveled by himself.
As he and his Master walked through the exquisite halls of his home, he listened to the happy tone of his companion's voice. But in his mind, the words seemed to blur, as he was concentrating on something else. Or rather, someone else.
Since he had arrived there had been an unnoticed presence. Once that Obi- wan had not focused on, or even bothered to think about until now. This presence seemed so. . .
"I have done nothing but talk since you have arrived! Please tell me, how was your voyage?" Mace Windu said suddenly, interrupting Obi-wan's thoughts.
"It was good, the problems were resolved. . ." he replied with no feeling. He was itching to find out who his mystery visitors were. And as if he had been reading his mind, which he most likely was, Mace began talking again.
"I know you are anxious about this visit. You may be a little worried, bit I assure you, nothing bad will come of this." Mace spoke these words with sincerity. "Just try to relax . . ."

As the three of them followed the practically running Corrine, Arsinoe's hand was gripped tightly to his own. In these few short hours, Anakin had grown close to this little girl, and she had become very attached to him. He liked the feeling.
But something bothered him. Just thinking about it depressed him just a bit. These two had popped into his life so suddenly, and he had a feeling that they would be leaving just as quickly. And possibly, they would never see each other again. He would hate to see them go.
Whenever he looked at either Sabe or Arsinoe, he got a strange feeling. And he wasn't sure if it was good or bad. It loomed above him, just out of reach, making it difficult to understand or make any sense of. He did not like this feeling.
There was also that strange familiarity in his little friend's eyes. They reminded him of . . . Obi-wan's! He looked up quickly at Sabe, and notice how happy she was. Then he looked at dear Arsinoe, and there it was. Until now he hadn't realized how alike they looked. But it couldn't be . . . Could it?

She had tried to hide her emotions, and she had been successful. Although it was hard, it was well worth it. After all, what was a couple of hours of secrets compared to seven years? And she was about to seem him again, so none of that mattered.
All she could think about was him, Obi-wan Kenobi. Lately he was always on her mind, and especially today. Sabe was about to see the man that she hadn't seen in seven years. But she had never forgotten the picture of his face. It was etched in her mind and nothing could make her forget.
They turned down a familiar hallway, the same one she had been down that morning. She glanced at Anakin and Arsinoe, who were walking beside her, and she was amazed at how fast they had bonded. Right now, they were walking hand and hand, and it made her smile.
It will be hard for them to part she thought. But she hoped that they didn't have to leave right away. It all depended on what was about to happen.
Their guide, Corrine had stopped which meant they had arrived at their destination. "Well, here we are! Just go in and seat yourselves and Master Kenobi will be here shortly. I must be going now." She turned to leave, but stopped and spoke to Sabe, "It was nice meeting you, I hope to see you again!" With that she turned and left as quickly as she had come.
Sabe looked at the door and then at Anakin. For a moment, she looked into his eyes and stared. Before she had felt Anakin's Penetrating eyes on her, like he was staring right through her. She could feel it now. He knew her secret; there was no denying that now. She just hoped he wouldn't say anything about it now, because she was saving her voice.
They entered the room and Sabe noticed that it was much smaller, and more inviting than the last one. She dropped herself in the nearest chair, and watched Anakin and Arsinoe as they sat across from her.
In a few minutes she would see the man whom she had loved since she met him. The same man who had left her alone to care for a child he didn't know he had. He was her first and only love, and she still loved him. He was the father of her beautiful little girl, their daughter, Arsinoe.
