Chapter 3: A Decision to be Made

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars in any way, for your information

Revan sat with Bastila at the kitchen table one morning finishing a breakfast that had helped easy her pain. It had been a full ten months since her children where born, and day after day she thought about how she was going to tell them that their mother and their aunt where Jedi. She knew that there where some secrets that she could not keep from them and others that she was not sure of.

" I know what your thinking." Bastila replied to her thoughts

" So you plan to tell them the truth about their mother? All your little secrets?" asked Bastila

"Yes, I do plan to tell them that we are Jedi, they have a right to know. I want them to have the most normal lives that they can, when they get older I want to start taking them on vactions and have them visit different plants. They should get to know the galaxy, Rakata is beautiful and all but they can only learn so much from the locals here." said Revan

" Your even going to tell them about our little trip to the Dark Side?" asked Bastila

"When they're a little older, yes. I have nothing to hide." replied Revan " They need to know about the important things, for knowing sake."

"Even about there father? Are you going to tell them about Carth?" asked Bastila

Revans jaw tightened, she didn't have time to react when there was a disturbance in the Force. She had been totally distracted by her feelings that she wasn't even paying attention to her surroundings. She had to stop that, it could start to prove dangerous.

" Something's out of place." she told Bastila. But she couldn't put her finger on it, then it struck her " the twins."

Revan ran to the nursing room. She found Alianna sleeping peacefully, but when she looked for Pompay she couldn't find him any where. " Where could he be?...". She knew there was only on way to find him. She started to look all over the house, she looked in every room, every closet, every trash bin, and she still couldn't find him. She across one room and then she stopped, she looked back and saw that her son was climbing a seven shelf bookcase trying to get the toy that was at the top.

"Pompay." she said to him. She quickly went to grab him and took down they toy and gave it to him. He gave a little laugh and started to chew on it immediately. Revan knew that he was too awake to put back in the nursery. So she carried him back to the kitchen.

" You'll never guess where I found him." she told Bastila at the table " He was climbing that bookshelf in the study, it just so happens that there was a toy he wanted in the top of it." she said

" He's so persistant." Bastila said " Just like his dad."

" Bastila, I don't think it'll be a good idea to tell them about Carth." Revan said

Bastila took Pompay from Revan's arms as she went to get herself a cup of jucie. Bastila started to play with him and made funny sounds, he made the cutest baby sounds back. Revan was just so proud of him. She wanted the best for him and her daughter, even if that meant not talking about Carth.

"Whatever you say, but make sure that there are no surprises when they grow up," Bastila said " I mean they look just like him in their ways."

Pompay started to drift to sleep and Revan took him and started to rock him gentle and hummed a little tune to help him sleep. She knew that it would be hard to try and hide the truth from them but she had to try. What good would it do them of they had feeliings about why their father left them. That wouldn't be good for their well being at all especially if their force sensetive.

" Revan your children are not ordinary children, they're very intellegent for their age and can do things now that normal children couldn't for two years. It won't be easy to hide things from them, and you know this." Bastila said

" Well I won't tell them nothing, I'll tell them everything they need to know, and nothing more." Revan said " And I'm not the only one who can keep secrets, Bastila?"

Bastila turned a very bright red, she had been caught red handed. All she could do was tell Revan the truth, she could not hide it anymore.

" Where do you go and you won't come back for about a week? When you don't show up for a small glass of juma jucie you know something's wrong." Revan said

" What they duty of a Jedi, Revan?" asked Bastila

" To protect the innocent, bring justice to where it is needed, and not to drink on a regular basis. Why?" Revan asked

" Because it's calling to me Revan, and I have to answer it." Bastila said

"What are you talking about Bastila?" Revan asked

"Why did we leave the council again?" asked Bastila

" Because if we stayed they would have been sure to make us go on some type of stressing mission, and after the Civil War we couldn't handle that. Not to mention that I was unknowingly pregnant with the twins. If we had stayed we probably would had got something worse than a stressing mission." Revan said

" Well, I found some planets that where in need of assistance and I helped," said Bastila " I know that you must think that we could give ourselves away, but it quite safe, and very filling." said Bastila

" I don't know, but if you say its ok, then have fun." said Revan

" You should do it too, Revan. You'll enjoy it and it'll give you something to do, then just sit around the house all day." said Bastila

" I don't know, I mean the twins, I don't know if they're ready to be without me." said Revan

" C'mon Revan, they twins will be fine, they do everthing without you already." said Bastila

" I have to think about this, I mean really think." said Revan

Revan heard slight baby snoring, when she looked Pompay was fast asleep. She took him to the nursery and put him in the crib. When she looked over at Alianna she saw that she was stirring, she would be awake soon and all this would start over again.

" Both of you are so different," Revan said " I wish there was a way I could protect you,but I see now that I cannot, and that my life will be detrimined by what you do." Revan stroked her children softly. " I just hope you do the right thing." Revan turned out the light and left them to sleep. All there was the sound of the lullbye, and the sound of babies sleeping.
