Obi-Wan approached the door ever so quietly, reaching out with his mind to feel the presence of the two angels that slep inside. He reached for the nob, but jerked his hand back as he heard a voice behind him.

"Obi-Wan?"

He turned around slowly, meeting Beru's gaze. "Yes?" he asked.

"I need to go now before Owen realizes I'm gone.." She looked at him regretfully while packing up the last of her things.

He nodded, smiling. "Of course. Thank you so much for coming."

She smiled and reached over to give him a hug. "You take care of yourself now, you hear?" She said it through tears and obi-Wan knew why. They would probably never be able to see each other again. He and Beru had become very good friends through Sora's long pregnancy. He felt as if he was loosing Jalia all over again.

"Ditto for you…" he said in her ear. They both pulled back and Obi-Wan watched her go out the door. I just keep loosing them, he thought. Sora's the only one I've really been able to hold on to…

He walked over to the window and watched her retreating form until he could see her no longer. Another friend come and gone…

"Obi-Wan?"

Another voice echoed his name and he felt the inexpressible joy well up in him as he turned around.

"Sora you should be resting…"

She smirked at him before walking closer. "I've been lying down for a whole day…you expect Sora Jade can do that very easily?"

He noticed the definite limp in her walk and she was still clutching her stomach loosely, though it's size had gone down considerably.

"No, but Sora Jade Kenobi, mother of Mara Jade Kenobi had best know what's good for her when Obi-wan Kenobi is around…" he smiled and proceeded to lead her back in the room.

"Obi-Wan I'm fine. After being on quarantine from you for so long I feel I at least have the right to get up and make myself a sandwich…"

But Obi-Wan wasn't buying it. "Nonsense. You've got a good week to go before I'm letting you out of this room." He laid her gently on the bed and pulled a blanket up over her.

"For a man who says that he isn't overprotective…" she chuckled and laid a hand ontop of his, stopping his work to make her comfortable. He glanced up at her with his piercing green eyes and half cocky grin.

"I just said I wasn't overy overprotective. All fathers and husbands have a right to be overprotective."

He smiled and her heart melted as he reached down to give her a kiss. They both halted when they heard a small whimper from behind them.

"I guess we'll have to be getting used to that," Sora whispered.

"I look forward to it," Obi-Wan gave her a quick kiss before reaching over to the crib and pulling out their small child.

She was a beautiful little thing. Her cheeks were rosy and healthy, her eyes a fantastic mix of jade green, obviously inherited from her parents. But her hair…her hair had them startled from the beginning. Bright red locks of hair shot out form her small crown, giving her the look of a goddess or angel, whichever you like. Obi-Wan and Sora liked them greatly. They had fought for a while over who's genes gave her her beautiful hair, but in the end, Beru had suggested that it was the will of the force. Obi-Wan and Sora had both chuckled from that comment, but had let it rest at that.

So here she was, little Mara Jade Kenobi. And she was perfect.

Obi-Wan brought her carefully over to Sora, who had sat up and was waiting to take her. As Sora rocked her in her arms, Obi-Wan heard her start to laugh.

"What is it?"

She shook her head. "Oh nothing. I was just wndering what my master would say if she could see me right now…she always gave me such lectures about Jedi being in love. If she knew I had a baby, she would be most…distraught."

Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows. "You never did tell me who your master was…"

Sora grinned at him secretively. "Oh didn't I? She told me that she had known you once. She ever said you were one of the ones who had convinced her about her feelings of love for a Jedi."

It dawned on him and Obi-Wan looked astonished. "Vergere?" he asked.

Sora nodded and looked back down towards Mara who had calmed.

"But…but that's not possible…" Obi-Wan argued. "Anakin and I went looking for her…she was dead…we both saw it happen…"

Sora shook her head again and smiled at his lack of knowledge. "Surly you did not think a Jedi as powerful as Vergere could die from a mere planet? No Vergere has been very alive all these years. In fact she is still very alive, though I am the only Jedi who is able to still sense her presence."

Obi-Wan looked flabbergasted towards Sora. "How can she be so powerful that not even Yoda, or Darth Vader can sense her?"

"She has her ways," Sora said simply.

"I guess I'll have to take your word for that…" Obi-Wan said, finally giving up.

"I guess you will." Sora chuckled and reached up to give him one last kiss. "Will you please put Mara back for me?" Obi-Wan reached down and took the small child out of her arms, placing her gently back into her makeshift crib. It wasn't a crib at all, in fact. Merely a basket lined in cloth and propped up on wooden legs. But it worked. And they made due.

Obi-Wan walked over to the door and flipped off the lights. He looked back one more time to see Sora already fast asleep. "Goodnight love." He blew her a kiss before shutting the door behind him and putting on a smile.

Ah yes, if only Vergere could see him now…
