Siri and Obi-Wan ate peacefully not saying much. Siri was still worried about her father but as long as Obi-Wan was there she supposed she would be fine.
The next seven months went on as normal, nothing big happened, neither Siri nor Obi-Wan were sent on missions for a while, maybe a few here or there but no big one's. Siri mostly spent her
time teaching Cheyenne lightsaber skills and force powers that Cheyenne learned quickly. Obi-Wan taught Tyrone his favorite move in a lightsaber battle.
Cheyenne and Tyrone were fighting well, they were both equally matched but Obi-Wan had this glint in his eyes that Siri couldn't quite figure out. Then just as it looked like Tyrone would get
beat he reached up with his left hand and grasped Cheyenne's left wrist. She was shocked that he had pushed through her guard and done that, which gave Tyrone time to then use the force
and knock Cheyenne's lightsaber from her hand. He then brought his lightsaber up to her neck and touched her lightly. "That's not fair!" Cheyenne said.
"What isn't fair?" Tyrone asked while still holding her wrist.
"Let go!" She said as she pulled her wrist from his grasp and used the force to call her lightsaber back to her.
"Nothing is against the rules in a lightsaber battle." Tyrone said defensively.
"Master, was that legal?"
"Yes Obi-Wan, was that legal?" Siri asked her smirking husband.
"By all means Siri, it was. I use it often." Obi-Wan replied.
"Wipe that smirk off your face Obi-Wan Kenobi." Siri said sternly.
Obi-Wan's smirk left his face defensively. "Don't get so upset, should I show you that move?"
"No!" Siri said. Obi-Wan and Tyrone were trying so hard not to laugh. Siri and Cheyenne walked off without saying a word. Obi-Wan and Tyrone burst out laughing.
Siri sent Cheyenne to her room and then she started for her room. Master Windu then caught her arm, "Siri, there is someone here to see you." Siri looked surprised. "Who?"
"Your father." Mace said with a smile on his face. Siri turned pail.
"He he is?" she stuttered.
"Yes." Then a man walked down the corridor towards Siri. He had a smile on his face but Siri saw right through it.
"Thank you Master Windu." He said kindly.
"Your welcome." Mace said as he walked away and was out of ear shot and around the corner in a few more seconds.
Then her father looked at her with an angry face and he said, "You thought you could get away from me by coming to the Jedi. Well you can't get away that easily." Siri gulped back tears.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked, trying to confuse him. She needed to buy herself some time so she could get to Obi-Wan.
"What? Why are you asking me that?" he said confused. Siri started to panic.
"I have to be somewhere, can we settle this some other time?"
"No we're settling it now." He said as he slapped her across the face. "I don't care if I get thrown back in prison as long as I get back at you." Siri was scared.
Obi-Wan and Tyrone walked towards the cafeteria. They got plates of food and sat down. They started to eat silently; they were both trying not to laugh. Then Obi-Wan looked up from his
food and his face paled. He got up from his seat and ran out of the cafeteria. Tyrone sat confused.
Obi-Wan ran towards his and Siri's room then he stopped in his tracks. He saw a man hitting Siri and talking to her quietly. Neither of them made much of a sound. Obi-Wan took his
lightsaber out and went towards the man. The mans back was to him, but Siri saw him. Tears sprang to her eyes as she was hit again. Obi-Wan grabbed the mans shoulder and turned him
around. "If you touch her again I will put my lightsaber through your torso and laugh as you fall to the ground and die." Obi-Wan said with anger evident in his voice.
"Who is he?" the man said directing the question to Siri.
"My husband." She replied.
"Oh, I see. So he's your body guard." The man said with a hint of sarcasm and humor in his tone.
"Don't hurt him Obi-Wan." Siri almost pleaded with him.
"Don't hurt me? I would be hurting him my daughter." The man replied with confidence.
"Daughter." Obi-Wan repeated. Siri nodded.
"Why is that a shock to you? Didn't she tell you that her father would come looking for her, of all the people I would think you would be the first to know." Siri's father said. Obi-Wan looked
ashamed that he hadn't believed Siri, obviously she would know better than he on aspects such as her own background. He could kick himself for not listening better. Siri started to back up
but her father grabbed her and pulled her back harshly. Obi-Wan couldn't take it, he put his lightsaber back on his belt and lunged at the guy. He turned just in time to see Obi-Wan flying at
him. He tried to block but his reflexes were no match for a Jedi. Obi-Wan slammed into him and they toppled on the floor. They were fighting but it was obvious that Obi-Wan was winning.
Siri was frightened. She didn't want her father badly hurt, no matter how much she wished she had never met him, but she also didn't want her father to hit her anymore and she didn't want
Obi-Wan to get into trouble. She looked down the hall and saw Mace Windu walking towards them. When he saw Obi-Wan and Siri's father fighting he ran towards them. "Stop! What are
you doing Obi-Wan!" Mace yelled.
"He can not come near Siri!" Obi-Wan said angrily.
"What happened?" Mace asked.
"He hit her."
"Is this true?" Mace asked looking straight at Siri's father.
"I have no idea what he's talking about." Her father replied. Obi-Wan looked stunned that he just lied so easily about something he had seen himself.
"He did Master Windu." Obi-Wan said, "Siri didn't he." Siri was quiet for a minute, and then she nodded yes. Siri's father's eyes darkened as rage filled him. Mace looked stunned. "You did?
What kind of father hits his daughter?"
"Obviously he does." Obi-Wan said exasperated. Mace grabbed Siri's father by the arm and escorted him away. "I'll be back!" Siri's father yelled down hallway towards Siri. Siri flinched.
Then he disappeared into a cloud of dust. He wasn't a Jedi or a sith, so how did he do that? Siri didn't care as long as he was gone. Obi-Wan walked over to her and pulled her into his arms.
"I'm sorry. I love you so much, please forgive me."
"I forgive you." Siri said with a far away look in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked looking concerned.
"Nothing…I just…." Siri went limp in Obi-Wan's arms.
"Siri! Siri, wake up. Siri." Obi-Wan said with a worried tone in his voice.
Obi-Wan sat in the waiting room at the hospital. He still didn't know what had happened. The doctor hadn't told him anything since he had rushed her to the hospital. Finally the doctor walked
over. "Obi-Wan Kenobi?" the doctor asked.
"Yes, that's me." Obi-Wan said as he stood up.
"Siri went into labor and the trauma of the moment made her faint. We had to take her into surgery to get the baby out."
"Is Siri alright?" Obi-Wan asked worried.
"We got the baby out fine but it doesn't look good for Siri. The trauma of it all has put her in a bad state; we don't think she is going to live." Obi-Wan felt a great pain from that statement.
How could he live without her?
"What can you do? What can I do? I can't live without her. There has to be something you can do, anything you can do, please!" Obi-Wan was on the brink of tears.
"There isn't anything we can do for her now, but you can go in and say your goodbyes"
Obi-Wan hurriedly walked into his wife's room.
"Siri, can you hear me?" Obi-Wan asked as tears ran down his face freely. Siri turned her head towards him.
"Obi-Wan…" she said, "How is our baby?"
"It's fine."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask. I was to worried about you."
"Please ask." Obi-Wan walked out and came back in a few seconds later.
"It's a baby girl."
"Obi-Wan…" she was having trouble breathing, "I love you so much."
"I love you to Siri." Obi-Wan hit his knees next to her bed and prayed, "God, if you're there, please don't take her. Take me, take my life, take my soul, but don't take Siri. Don't take my
love. Take me in her place. Please God…please…I'm begging you."
"Obi-Wan…" he looked up from his praying.
"Yes, baby I'm here."
"Promise me, that…," he could tell it was getting harder for her to breath, "promise me that you will take care of her."
"I promise, I promise you Siri."
"I love you Obi-Wan…tell her that I love her to and…give her…my lightsaber…when she gets old enough…goodbye my love." Her breath went in then out, then it didn't resume. The monitor
went from jagged lines to a straight line and it let out a loud beep. Doctors and nurses rushed in and tried everything they could to save her. Obi-Wan let a cry of pain, a cry of sorrow as he laid
his head on her chest and cried into her breasts. All the doctors and nurses backed out of the room fully knowing that they couldn't do anything to save her and they weren't about to try to
move the sorrowful man that was crying over her.
Obi-Wan lifted his head ten minutes later as the doctor touched his shoulder. "Please sir, come away." Obi-Wan stood and placed Siri's hands over her heart. He then looked at the doctor
with dead eyes. "May I see my daughter?"
"Yes sir, follow me." The doctor motioned for some people and whispered to them and they walked into Siri's room as Obi-Wan followed the doctor to a lower floor. They walked over to a
glass window and the doctor pointed to a cradle holding a sleeping baby girl. Obi-Wan smiled slightly. "That sir, is your daughter.
