Anakin had stayed up all night healing Starr and keeping an eye on Obi- Wan's condition.
"Master, Starr is fine!" Anakin argued with his injured Master. " I can work on you now!"
"NO!" Obi-Wan sat up, his back aching in pain. "I want her healed first, go back to her!" He looked over at Starr who was asleep on the bed.
"Master, you need to be healed, I can't save Padme without you!" Anakin practically cried out.
"Obi-Wan sat staring down for a moment and then spoke up, "The baby.." He sputtered out between tears.
"It's fine." Anakin managed a weak smile. He was happy for his Master, he only wished that the situation wasn't so bad.
"Your sure of this?" Obi-Wan asked worryingly.
"Yes, Master." Anakin took his Masters weak hand in his. "Master what is going to happen with you two?"
"What do you mean?" Obi-Wan questioned.
"Well, Master, you are a Jedi, and a Knight at that... And I know that they changed the code for Knights to have relationships but..."
"But what Anakin?" Obi-Wan cut him off.
"Well, they said that you can't UNTIL you are a Master, and Starr is still a Padawan... I mean, they made an exception for me.. But.. will they... for her?" Anakin explained, his Masters eyes showed awareness, but also a deep sadness.
"Anakin.." Obi-wan paused. "I love Starr, I was going to ask her to marry me when she became a Knight... Things just got pushed ahead of schedule, that's all." Obi-Wan looked up and still saw the concern lingering in Anakin's eyes. "Don't worry Anakin, everything will work out."
"Alright Master." Anakin patted his Masters hand.
"Anakin?" Obi-Wan questioned after Anakin started to walk away.
There was a long pause before Anakin answered back. "Yes, Master?"
Another long pause. Anakin walked back over to the couch that Obi-Wan was lying on. "What is it Master?"
"Can you do me a favor? He asked shyly.
Anakin chuckled a moment at the loss of braveness in his Master, but quickly recovered. "Yes, Master, anything.."
"Anakin, I know you healed Starr and said that the baby was fine, but I was wondering...."
Anakin cut his Master off. "If you could see yourself..?" He smiled again at his Masters shyness.
"Yes." He answered back. "But... I need your help. My link with the Force is still weak, I need you to do it and transfer it to me."
Anakin stiffed back a chuckle and helped his Master get up and go across the room, where Starr lay back down on the soft bed.
"It's ok Master, I will help you." Anakin patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you." Obi-Wan and Anakin sat on the bed, Starr laying in between them, her wounds only leaving a trace of what they were before.
"Ok Master, give me your hands." Anakin placed Obi-wans hands on Starrs abdomen with his resting ontop of his Masters. Starr moved a little at the added pressure to her body but then settled back into a peaceful slumber.
Anakin cleared his mind and the vision of Obi-wan and Starr's unborn baby popped up in his head. He searched the womb, getting in every detail to show his Master, and to make sure the baby was healthy. he could also tell the sex of the baby, so he figured that she was about 2 to 3 months along.
Anakin kept his hands tight around his Masters trembling hands. "Master, you must calm yourself down, or I wont be able to send the vision to you."
Obi-Wan took a deep breath and relaxed his nerves the best he could. "I'm just worried that's all."
"It's ok Master. Now close your eyes." He watched his Master gently close his worried eyes, and when Anakin thought he was relaxed enough he sent him the heart warming vision of his unborn child. Anakin felt a stab of jealousy at not being able to experience this with Padme. Everything happens for a reason... He thought. Right?
Anakin pulled out of his reverie to see his Masters hardened expression of worry turn to one of burning passion. Obi-Wan opened his steel gray eyes when the vision and looked softly at Anakin, their hands still resting on Starr's abdomen.
"I can't believe it." A silent tear strolled down his cheek. "Thanks you so much for letting me see this Anakin. You have no idea how much this means to me." Obi-Wan was now crying freely and Anakin got up and walked over to the other side of the bed where Obi-Wan still sat, just staring at his hands. He looked at the peaceful face of the woman he loved, and the mother of his child.
"Master," Anakin stated as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "You should get some rest, I will heal you in the morning, I am sorry, but we have to leave the ship soon... We need to get to Padme.." Anakin sniffled.
"I am sorry Anakin" Obi-Wan turned to comfort him, he could tell Anakin was hiding a lot of his pain and worry. And not to mention, he felt guilty for everything that was happening.
"Shh." He soothed. He stood up and embraced his Padawan in a fatherly hug. "I am proud of you Anakin. You have done nothing wrong, none of this is you fault. Alright?"
"Master." Anakin sniffled again, "I am just so worried about her... I she cold, or hurt, is he being tortured..."
"I know you are worried Anakin, you have a right to be." Obi-Wan pulled out of the embrace. "We will get her back." He looked at the 20 year old man standing in front of him. He though of him as a son in every way. Anakin was his kid to him, and soon he would have another, and that made him happy in such a way he never thought possible.
"Get sleep Master." Anakin tried to help his Master back to the couch where he was sleeping earlier.
"No," Obi-Wan argued again. " I want to stay here with Starr, keep an eye on her."
Anakin sighed in forfeit and turned to exit the room. "Alright. I will be in the next room if you need anything." He enter his room and plummeted to the bed.. It had been a long day.
Obi-Wan slowly eased his way down and laid gently next to Starr's still sleeping body. His back ached the whole way down, but it was the price he was willing to pay to be near her.
"I can't believe it Starr." He said in barely a whisper, knowing that she really couldn't hear him. "We have a child."
"We have a daughter."
Anakin woke up early and ready to find Padme, his face was filled with grim determination and hope. That is until he remembered the day before. Obi-Wan needed to be healed and Starr was pregnant. Obi-Wan will NEVER let Starr help us, I am going to have to do this with just him?! I guess Starr could always fly and pick us up if we get in trouble....
Anakin walked into the cockpit and sat heavily in the pilots seat and looked out at the grassy plain they had landed on. It was then that he realized that this was where they had their picnic and where they stayed the night before they told the Council of their marriage. It was where their love was, and always would be. Free. It was almost a years ago since they had gotten married and all the events leading up to it and after were still burning fresh in his mind.
It was 8 months today to be exact, and he couldn't believe all the things they had been through together. But he was glad he could share all the good things with her... Even if they came in few.. And the troubles were always there... They lived for the happier days.
He stared out at the Sunrise that had illuminated a perfect glow on the tall, dew soaked grasses of the meadowy field, with the Waterfalls just meters away. He wished so bad that Padme could be here to see the beautiful site with him. What am I thinking.. She has probably seen this a thousand times! She lived here Anakin... be smart!
He got up from the pilots seat and walked over to the kitchen area and got himself a steamy cup of Caff, and then returned to the beautiful view he was at before.
He sipped quietly at the hot liquid and turned when he sensed a familiar presence enter the cockpit. It was Starr.
"Don't worry about her Anakin, she's tough. She will make it, and we will get her back." She sat next to him in the Copilots chair and swiveled it around to face him.
"I know she is, and we will." He answered back. "But what if we find her and it is too late?!"
"It's alright Anakin. You have the right to worry." Starr told him back with pleading eyes.
Her body had returned back to the healthy normal state as it was before the injury to her stomach. Her eyes strong, her face filled with the color that she adorned before, instead of the yellowish pale color she was succumbed to.
"I know... Thank you Starr." Anakin turned to face her. He shifted his legs and sat Indian style in the wide chair. he leaned his head back against the chair back and let out a long and exasperating sigh.
"I forgot to congratulate you Starr." He looked down to her and managed a weak smile. "I am happy for you both."
"Thank you Anakin, I'm happy too.... You can't doubt that..." She paused and Anakin looked up, worried that her next words might not be good ones.
"I.. I mean.. I love Obi-wan." She finally stuttered. "I love him with all my heart. But this is going to complicate things. I mean, I am a Padawan, and he is a Knight. I'm not even allowed to be in a relationship with him. And even if we were allowed, we are not married. Force! This is going to make his life even busier!"
After she spoke Anakin just looked at her. He could tell that she loved his Master, but she was afraid. Afraid of their future. "Everything happens for a reason Starr." Anakin finally spoke. "Maybe this will... Change the Code."
Starr let out a small snort. "I just don't want to ruin his dream.... He loves being a Jedi."
"Being a Jedi, is all Obi-Wan has ever known, of course he is going to love it. And Dreams change Starr. Look at me." Anakin pointed to himself. "I am living proof of that, my dream is to be with Padme now."
"Yea I guess so... It's just.. Well I mean its a baby, how would he like having to take care of it?" She looked down halfway embarrassed.
Anakin lifted her chin up and looked her directly in the eyes. "He wont leave you if that's what your afraid of, he loves you too much. And of course he would want a child ... especially with you."
Starr smiled and a small tear stroked down her cheek. "Yea I guess."
Anakin looked at her, she was perfect for Obi-wan, and they would be happy together, with their daughter. which reminded him. "Oh Starr?" He announced as she got up to get a cup of Caff and then returned.
"Yes..?" She answered back.
"I forgot to tell you.. Congratulations on having a girl!" He managed a smile and laughed a bit. "Another girl we will all have to deal with.."
That comment was reward with a quick whack on his head and a moody Starr falling back into her seat.
"So.." He asked. "Think of any names yet?"
