Chapter Fourteen: New Beginnings

The preparations for the handing over of the throne went well. Then before she knew it Sabe was hugged in turn by each handmaiden and the ex-Queen then was leaving the palace with Obi-Wan at her side carrying her belongings. Her arms filled with flowers; Sabe was going to her mother's home, to live for the duration of her pregnancy and some time after until she found a place to live.

Nine Months Later:

Sabe opened the door, and surprised at who she saw standing there,

"Obi-Wan! You're not due back for another week."

"Hi. Yes I know, but I wanted to be here when our baby was born."

He said as he walked inside.

"But I'm due not for another two weeks."

"Yes I know but I had a premonition and so the Council gave me leave to come here, Anakin cam as well and he is staying with Padme while she's here instead of on Coruscant."

"Oh,"

Sabe said, still rather surprised.

A few days later Sabe went into labor, Obi-Wan was with her the whole time. She gave birth to a baby girl whom they named Charlate. Charlate's midi-chlorine count was not high enough for her to be sent to the Jedi Temple which pleased Sabe as sure was not sure how she would have coped if she had had to give her up.

A few days later Obi-Wan returned to Sabe's house. He had been back to Coruscant to talk to the Jedi Council they had agreed that Obi-Wan would be allowed to leave the Order if he wished, when his Padawan's training had finished, he agreed and they arranged it so that he could have a job as the defense trainer at the main school in Theed.

When Obi-wan told her Sabe was delighted that they would be together, finally but upset for him, the Jedi was his life. There were two compensations to his departure; the Council was allowing him to keep his lightsaber and his title as Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi.
