"Obi-Wan...I'm pregnant."
Obi-Wan at first thought he didn't hear right, maybe the sound of the tide, and the crickets in the bushes blocked his hearing. Did she say she was pregnant?
Pregnant...
Something happened right then and there, something in his thoughts, so fast and sudden, it made his heart jump and he blinked, still looking up at her glowing beautiful face in the moonlight.
Her face looked unhappy, worried and scared.
"Your...what?" He cleared his throat, feeling dry and almost as if he was dreaming.
No, it couldn't be true...they couldn't, she couldn't...he couldn't get somebody pregnant. His thoughts kept jumping...he never knew that he could have the power to make life. Yes, he learned at a young age what it meant to conceive, to make a child, to let it grow and then be born...it took a man, and a woman.
But out of all the powers he now had as a Jedi Knight, it never clicked that he was still a man, and she was still a woman...meaning that there was always a chance of getting her pregnant...even the first time they slept together, so young and scared, sex and sex and this is what happens.
Were they to young to try and be careful, or was their love to strong it became a blur of passion and innocence, before they thought things out and the chances they were to take?
He was in shock, he blinked again.
"Pregnant...two months so far, must have been the last time I came to Corusant..." She trailed off and locked eyes with him, almost on the edge of crying, he felt her shake all over.
A warm breeze went by, and still silence filled the air.
But after a few seconds Obi-Wan looked at her face again, the same face he kissed the night they fell in love, the same face he dreamed about every night...the same face he risked everything for.
Just then such a feeling of joy came over his heart he thought it must have froze up just then and stop. Another set of thoughts came across him.
A baby...his baby.
He never thought he could make a baby, most of all a baby with the most beautiful woman of the stars. Two months ago...two months ago they were still stealing hidden moments together, and one of those nights before she would return home...they made love, and a baby.
The thought of a child, his own child, so beautiful and amazing, a miracle in fact. Yes,...Padme was carrying Obi-Wan's baby. Their baby.
He slowly sat up, sitting face to face with her, as more tears started to build in her eyes. He felt so much fear and anger rush through her just then.
But all he did was smile, such a sudden smile Padme looked at him as if he was crazy.
He never felt so good in his whole life, he looked down at her flat stomach and then back at her, tears were now running down her cheeks, but once he locked eyes with her again and started laughing with joy, she started to laugh to through her tears.
They both laughed together like crazy people, and he then threw his arms around her as tight as he could,
"Oh that's wonderful Padme..." He held her close, kissing the side of her face.
He started to cry to...but just because he was so happy.
He kissed her over and over again until they locked eyes and he wiped the tears away from her face.
"I was so scared you might be mad, you have no idea how uneasy I've felt...I knew the only time I could be happy if you were."
"Why do you think I would be mad?" Obi-Wan said with a smile as he brushed some of her bangs away from her eyes.
She smiled and sniffled in.
"I guess because of what this means."
Obi-Wan held her on the shoulders.
"This only means that this is a happy moment, that we have a baby now, and what a blessing it is for us."
She smiled as he touched her cheek, but still looked worried.
"But what if someone finds out, the senate, the Jedi...do you have any idea what they would do to us?"
He put his finger to her lips and smiled.
"This isn't a time to worry Padme, we should enjoy this time together, with our baby..." He touched her stomach and she smiled.
She then put her arms around him, and with a cry of surprise, as he swooped her up in his arms and started to spin her around on the beach.
She laughed with him and told him to put her down, but right now he was happy, and he just wanted the hold the woman who had his baby inside her, he wanted to feel every inch of her, and thank God a million times for this miracle. And just then tiny rain drops started to slowly pelt down on the two of them, soon it started to built up and it seemed as if a song was playing just for them each time the rain hit the crystal surface of the ocean.
They laughed, soaking wet and pressed their lips against each other before looking up at the dark night sky.
This was their moment.
Later Obi-Wan feared Padme would catch her death in the freezing rain and they both went back to her chambers. That night they just laid beside each other, his hand over her flat stomach, her hers wrapped around his body smiling.
They talked until they could talk no more, and then feel asleep holding each other.
The next day they went to Padme's parent's home and together, side by side brought the news that she was pregnant.
They were scared and uneasy at what their reaction would be.
Padme's mother and sister had a shocked look about them, as if they had no idea what to even say. Sure it was one thing, Padme only fifteen years old to rule the planet...but to be pregnant with a Jedi Knight's baby?
Padme's father had a set cold look in his eyes, he looked at the two of them and then cleared his throat.
"I'm taking it your the father?"
"Yes, sir." Obi-Wan said in a lower voice as Padme squeezed his hand.
"You do know my daughter is just a child herself...do you?"
Padme looked at Obi-Wan so helpless, he felt anger and shock all around him.
But he kept his calm, and looked at Padme's father with a respectful voice.
"Yes, sir, I do understand Padme is still of a young age, but two years before this she was taken in as queen...a job that many couldn't handle, nor wanted in the first place."
"Being a queen is one thing, a mother is very different."
"I understand this, and I know it comes as a great shock to you all...but you must understand I love your daughter and would do anything in my power to keep her and my unborn child safe."
"How do you know it's yours?"
Obi-Wan looked at Padme, who was on the edge of tears.
She looked at her father.
"He is the only one papa, and I do love him."
Her father crossed his arms.
"Do you have any idea what they would do to the two of you?" "I mean I know of queens in the past that have had children even younger then my daughter is now, but it being yours makes everyone in danger, in the first place you shouldn't have even been with her, it's against the Jedi code...I do know that much."
Obi-Wan spoke again.
"It is against the Jedi code to not love, it always has, and trust me the Jedi have been my whole life ever since I can remember...but I couldn't help it, that I swear to you sir, I couldn't help falling in love with your daughter the first moment I laid eyes on her during the recuse mission, just as if you couldn't help loving her mother when you first saw her."
Padme's father was silent, he looked at the two of them and Padme's mother gave a weak smile, moving close to him and putting her arms around him.
"Oh honey, don't be angry with the children...you said it yourself just a day ago that they belonged together and what a shame it was that he was a Jedi."
Obi-Wan looked at Padme who looked worried and winked at her, she smiled feeling a tad better.
Padme's father turned towards his wife and sighed.
"Then...we should try and work this out."
Everyone then felt as if a great weight was taken off, they all sighed and Padme's sister cried out with joy and ran to Padme hugging her tight.
Padme's mother hugged Obi-Wan who felt caught off guard, then her sister. As they fussed over Padme Padme's father shook Obi-Wan's hand.
Later they all sat down together, making sure the younger ones were still outside and talked things over for what seemed like eight hours.
Padme's mother said Padme would still rule as queen here, in fact just about every queen on Naboo has children through the ages of ten, to twenty, and most of the time the father is never known.
She would give birth to the child and raise it with their help here.
Obi-Wan, even if he wanted to give everything up for his love and child, was talked to...and said that he was stay in the Jedi and train his young padawan, they would try to get him missions here as much as possible, so he could visit his child.
The time Anakin reached master, Padme and her family would come to the council, and tell them the truth...either they would accept it, or dismiss Obi-Wan, which he said he wouldn't even care at that point since he would have his family.
But it was important to Padme if he trained Anakin, she thought of that small child as a friend and wanted Obi-Wan of most people to take care of him.
They also planned, with much susprize, that Obi-Wan would marry Padme once the baby was born...he had to ring to offer her, but asked in front of everyone, and with tears in her eyes she said yes and they hugged each other and everyone clapped.
The plan seemed fine enough, and whatever would happen, Obi-Wan wouldn't let any harm come to Padme or his baby.
That night Obi-Wan and Padme spent the night together, all over the city...they talked and held hands under his robe, and then returned later to her chambers.
"What do you wish for...a girl or a boy?"
Obi-Wan kissed the top of her nose.
"Dosn't matter to me, as long as it's healty."
Padme smiled and kissed him, they made love again, this time knowing there baby was there with them.
The next morning Obi-Wan had to leave, with great sadness this time he told her he would come back as soon as he could, and told her to rest as much as possible.
They kissed strong, and he touched her stomach before leaving with a smile.
And the whole ride back, he couldn't help but laugh...in less then seven months he would become a father.
