Chapter Five: After the Battle

"Where have you been?"

Sache asked as she gave Sabe a hug.

"It's good to see you. I've been in Obi-Wan's room and no before you say anything we haven't been doing anything. How are you and Yane?"

"All right, tell me about it later. I'm fine and so is Yane."

"Okay I'll tell you. We've kissed a few times, but he's really upset right now, his master has just been killed. He's so lovely but I don't want to do anything while he's in such a delicate state. What's happening with the Jedi Council?"

"Is he a good kisser? Ami contacted them and they will be arriving tomorrow for the suitable burial."

"Yes he is, thanks. I'm going to have a shower and have some food. I need to get some for Obi-Wan too."

"All right. See you later."

When Sabe returned with food, to Obi-Wan's room he was awake and up.

"Sabe?"

he asked when she entered the room.

"Were you here all night?"

"Yes. You looked so peaceful asleep so a left a little while ago and not I come baring food."

"Thank you," he said, smiling gratefully. "When I was sleeping last night, all dreamt about was the battle. If only I hadn't fallen behind Qui-Gon would still be alive. It's my fault he died."

"It's not your fault. You could have done nothing to prevent it and even if you had kept up with them, you might not have defeated the Sith and both of you might have died,"

Sabe paused then continued.

"Queen Amidala, contacted the Jedi Council and they are arriving the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, I didn't know what to do or what was happening,"

Obi-Wan said and hugged her tightly.

"Thanks for the food,"

he said and kissed her on the check gently. Sabe leaned in and kissed him passionately on the mouth, he responded in the same way. They started undressing each other but Obi-Wan pulled back,

"no, I'm sorry. This is the wrong time. I care about you a lot but I don't want to do something that I might regret later."

"That's okay,"

Sabe said smiling,

"thank you for being honest,"

they kissed again and he sat down to eat the food Sabe had bought him. She smiled, watching him eat, she felt very calm and content.

When he finished he led Sabe over to a soft large chair which they curled up in, Sabe rested her head against Obi-Wan's shoulder and he planted a light kiss on her head. Obi-Wan lent his head against hers and they dozed off for half an hour of so. They woke suddenly when Sabe's com-link beeped.

"Yes,"

she answered sleepily.

"I'm presuming that you're with Jedi Kenobi,"

Rabe's voice said.

"Yes, I am. Why am I needed?"

"Not really, Sache and Yane are the main organizers of the celebration. Ami said that you can have some time off to rest your ankle and because we need a favor."

"All right, what?"

Sabe asked, sitting up.

"Look after Anakin. He's feeling left out because Ami can't spend time with him."

"Okay, bring him here,"

Sabe said and turned her com-link off. She stood up carefully and winced as she put weight on her ankle. The door chimed and she answered, Anakin walked in looking uncomfortable.

"Hi."

"Hello Sabe. How's your ankle?"

"A bit better thanks, do you want to sit down?"

"Sure,"

Anakin said and sat down on the sofa. Sabe went and gently shook Obi-Wan awake.

"Anakin is here,"

she said smiling down at him.

"I'm going to get a drink," then turned to Anakin asked,

"would you like one?"

"Yes please Sabe. Could I just have some water please?"

"Sure,"

Sabe said smiling at him, kissing Obi-Wan lightly on the forehead and limped out.
