Author's Note: I feel so lucky! I can thank another person now!!! Ok here it goes. I would like to thank SithTahiri for her review. I'm glad that you think that it's cute. And I had hoped that it would come out that way. My mom just thinks that it's just stupid.  Thanks again. Now down to the serious stuff. In this chapter the boys are around 13 years old. It's my birthday, and it was Qui-Gon's about three days ago. Thanks. Space

Chapter Three

"Mom," Why did this boy have bad timing? "Mom. Mom mom mom mom momomomomomomom!" "What Obi? And stop jumping on the sofa. You're gonna break it." Why must he be hyper at six in the morning? Why can't he just zonk out like Maul? "Maul?" no answer. "Maul???"  Still no answer. "MAUL!!!!!!" Finally I see a little black and pink head find its way around the corner. Last night Maul's markings just started to show up. It'll only be a matter of days until he's completely red and black. The only problem is that to a thirteen year old, days seem like weeks. "Momma, I don't want to go to class. Bruck Chun will make fun of me. And I don't want to get in trouble." He looks so cute when he's scared. Maul's only problem is that he has a temper. A very bad temper. He's only a teen but he knows words that Yoda wouldn't even say if he broke his back. And did I mention that he bites, too. I think I can remind some people of the seatbelt incident in previous years. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys. It's just that they're just a pain in the butt. Hyper-active Obi-Wan and little mister 'I bite everything that I don't like'.

I get them all headed out for their classes and under control just until they get to their classes. Me time. Actually, not really. More like clean time. I started by cleaning the front room, then the kitchen, as I headed down the hall, I decided to take a look into Maul's room. All clean, except for the dirty clothes. So I gathered clothes up and started to do his laundry. Then I went to Obi's room, let's just say that I couldn't take a step into it. I couldn't see the floor. I couldn't see the sleep couch. I couldn't see the shelves. I am going to have to have a talk with that boy. And soon! I didn't know that one person could have that much clutter.

After I got all of my chores done I started to think back to my past.

Eight years ago…

"Hey! Shetahl, Shetahl over here!" I could hear Mace Windu a light-year a way. "Hey Shetahl, that's the guy that I was telling you about, Qui-Gon Jinn. I thought you would like him. He seems like your type." Mace Windu is like my best friend for like, forever. The only problem was that you couldn't have a private conversation with the dark skinned human. He was just so loud. When he whispered, he talked at normal volume, when he talked he yelled. But we loved him anyway.

We were the out crowd. Not like all of those perfects. They were the best at everything. We were odds and ends. There was me, Shetahl Kenobi, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Tahl, and Eeth Koth, the comic relief. Eeth always found some sort of way to embarrass himself. Either dropping his tray, to tripping over a chair. And most would be embarrassed but Eeth would just laugh it off. Eeth also had a knack for saying the right thing at the right time. He and Qui-Gon were inseparable, and they still are. Well anyway, that day Mace introduced me to Qui-Gon Jinn. He looked up from his lunch and those eyes. Midnight blue. They were the most gorgeous eyes I had ever seen in my whole life. He had this look in his eyes that made them sparkle. Like he was up to something that wasn't good. I fell in love. After that Qui and I were that talk of the Temple. Everyone knew about us. Even the masters knew about our relationship, but they didn't say anything. Everything was perfect. So perfect that Qui-Gon and I had some fun after out knighting ceremony. And that's how Obi-Wan came to be.

After our night Qui-Gon wouldn't even talk to me. I couldn't even get a hold of him to tell him that I was going to have his child. He just wouldn't listen. So I told Adi. She told me to go back to Wayland and raise my child there away from the Temple. So I did. And Obi-Wan grew up learning the ways of the Jedi.

*~*

I still have yet to tell Qui-Gon that Obi is his son. If Qui-Gon takes Obi as his Padawan then I'll take Maul. If Qui-Gon doesn't take him, I take Obi, and Mace takes Maul. And that's the end of that.
