The Hero Without Fear
I think you knew I would be your wife and the mother of your child the first moment you saw me. The first question you asked me was "Are you an angel?", after all. But I didn't think anything of it at the time. It was only when you left the only home you had ever known that I started to feel protective of you.
I still feel protective of you when the Holonews calls you "The Hero Without Fear." You're only human, Ani, as much as you like to pretend otherwise. That nickname makes me afraid you've forgotten. You will go too fast and too far and soon you will be to far away to ever come home again. Which would leave me without you and our child will be left without a father.
When I met you again, a passion awoke in me that I had never known. I had crushes before, but now I don't think I had ever truly been in love. Now I can't imagine life without being in love. What we have when you can get away from your duties is something I don't want to be without again, and I know you feel the same way. You have my heart, and never fear that you could ever lose it. Please don't gamble with it by needlessly putting yourself in danger.
It hurts to not be able to tell anyone how much I worry about you. But I won't let you leave the Jedi Order for me. I can still see the excitement that was on your face when Qui-Gon told you that he would train you to become a Jedi. I won't let you give up what you've wanted and worked so hard for. Something that is so much a part of who you are should always be a part of you.
But we may not be able to keep our marriage a secret for much longer. On your last visit home, we conceived a child. Another secret I've had to work so hard to keep. I've wanted this for so long, to feel a baby of my own inside me. I want to announce my new family to the entire Galaxy! But I can't, and I won't, not yet.
For the Jedi say that you are their Chosen One. Because if you can rid the Galaxy of the Sith, I won't be the one to keep you from doing that. I'm sure you have an amazing destiny, and I'm happy just to be on the sidelines of it. But never give up your duties for me. It wouldn't be fair to ask that of you.
