Padme is pregnant. I'm so excited, I'm going to be a father. Padme says that it will be a boy, but I believe it's a girl. It will be a girl, and she will have her mother's brown eyes and hair.
I am also happy that the war is nearing an end. Dooku is dead and soon General Grievous will be captured. Once he's captured then the fighting will cease.
The fight with Dooku was…interesting. When my Master got knocked unconscious I had to fight Dooku by myself. I kept my anger at bay this time and managed to gain the upper hand. I had Dooku cornered and he surrendered. However, while I had him cornered the Chancellor told me to kill him. When he did, the darkside seemed to grow stronger in the room.
Dooku made a desperate lunge at the Chancellor and fell dead at my blade. After I freed the Chancellor, he wanted me to actually leave my Master behind! Okay, maybe he was panicking because of the ship breaking apart, but that weird feeling came again right then.
We took a side trip when we uh…kind of, accidentally walking into a trap. My Master and I encountered General Grievous and his droids and had a bit of a battle. Afterwards I had to pilot…more like crash land the ship without killing anybody.
It's good to be home, but the darkness seems to like this place. It is stronger here then it was when my Master and I left here a couple of months ago.
I had Healer Bant come over to check to make sure Padme and the baby are doing all right. Bant knows our secret because my Master told her. I was skeptical about him doing so at first, but in time I saw the wisdom of his decision. With Bant's help, we managed to get little Ximun-Tae Cevin Kenobi into the crèche without anyone discovering that he was my Master and Master Siri's child.
They planned it so well that I doubt even the old troll noticed. Siri spent a year on her home planet helping her people defend themselves against pirates. My Master didn't like the idea of her doing that while pregnant but Siri told him that it was the best way to avoid suspicions.
It worked but my Master missed seeing the birth of his child because we got called to one of the battle fields. We managed to get to Siri's planet a month later and from there take Ximun-Tae Cevin to the Temple.
I've been told that the name Ximun-Tae Cevin means keeper of peace and truth. It sounds kind of big for the little guy. I think I'll give him a nickname. How about Jamie? It's short, and is a good name to fall back on if he gets too embarrassed with his first names in the future. Little Jamie Kenobi. Now that's much better. I'll see what my Master thinks.
Padme has already though of some names for our child. Luke if it is a boy and Leia if it is a girl. Nice and short names.
My Master told me that Master Windu has traced the Sith Master to 500 Republica. I feel that we are getting close, but I also feel that we may be heading into a trap.
The Chancellor wants me to be his representative on the Council, but this only serves to further unsettle me. I'm not sure what my Master will think of this. I know that Master Windu will not like this at all, that's for sure. I'm sure I won't be granted the title of Master. It is up to the Council to grant this rank, not the Chancellor.
Ah, I was right and I humbly accepted their wisdom. Master Windu looked a little surprised when I did. I guess he thought I might put up an argument. He really needs to focus on the positive some more.
After the Council adjourned for the day, my Master informed me of some things that the Council had instructed him to tell me. He would have told me anyway, permission or not. I am more informed then the Council is led to believe since my Master talks about most of the meetings with me.
The Council wants me to spy on the Chancellor because they believe the Sith is within the Chancellor's inner circle. I got that feeling again too when my Master told me this. Now I have an excuse to figure out what this feeling is that I get around the Chancellor.
General Grievous has been found and the Council is sending my Master to go after him. I don't like this, they are splitting up The Team. This feels all wrong. There is so much darkness here on Coruscant and yet most of the powerful Masters of the Order are away. I have a very bad feeling about this.
I told my Master this and he told me that it is best that I wasn't going with him then. He told me that he trusts me to keep the darkness at bay, and even though I am not yet a Master, he told me that the title is not what matters. What matters is the ability to protect the innocent and drive back the darkness. I am needed here, for when the Sith Master makes an appearance then I will be needed.
My Master is wise and he is right. I will not fail him or the Jedi. I had only one last complaint after that. Master Windu. My Master told me that I should listen to Master Windu, but! If the Force says otherwise then I can do what I must. That does not make me feel any better, but I manage a smile.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
