The Untold Chronicles Of The Kenobi's Chapter 15, a star wars fanfic

A chapter a day… Yes I do have a life and no don't expect this to continue. Believe it or not I was actually going to do my health homework, but then I had that wonderful sensation of "I can do it later. There will be time next week" accompanied by "What about later tonight when there's nothing on TV for around an hour". Well, I think we can all see that never getting done can't we? But yes, this chapter had to happen right now so I could get the boring stuff out of the way and that means in an up coming chapter there will be action. You know that annoying lag in the middle of 'The Revenge of the Sith'? Yeah, that part sucks and that's what we're up to kiddies.

You know what else sucks? Humidity. After 1 perfect day it all goes to the cruds. Oh I hate spring, it just likes to tempt you.

But enough of me and now for you beautiful treasures who reviewed:

adame shmi skywalker vader dobsonfam56: What a name! By the way, you're either telepathic or you hacked my computer. Things will be happening soon and secrets will be exposed. Yes Obi is going to be a father but that may end up a little agnsty. Remember your Revenge of the Sith plot and try to think of a happy ending. Being a little nuts myself I can totally relate to jumping off of roofs with lightsabers. Have fun but don't break any bones. That wouldn't be fun and you wouldn't be able to renact anything for a while.

"What's wrong? You seem… distant."

Obi-Wan sighed. He had come to Keitha's apartment after a disturbing conversation with the Jedi Council to talk to her and to gain some comfort. The talk had drained his blood and made him feel like someone had dropped him in a vat of ice. So now he stood there behind his love, arms wrapped around her holding her close.

"I'm worried about Anakin. Every time I see him I find it harder to find the boy that I once knew, the boy that Qui-Gon found on Tantooine. Now when I look at him I see an unfamiliar man, a man who I fail to understand. It… scares me. Profoundly."

Keitha looked at him from over her shoulder.

"This war has changed everyone in some way. Some people it's harder to see the changes but with others it's easy."

Keitha turned in his grasp to face him, her hands braced on his shoulders watching his eyes.

"It's changed you and me. With us it's good changes but we were raised far differently to Anakin. He was found as a boy, already wise to parts of the world. But you led him through it. It will be your training which shall save him."

Obi-Wan kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I hope you're right. By the Force I hope you're right."

Keitha stayed there and made a decision. She would get to the bottom of this.

"Milady."

Keitha bowed to Senator Amildala as the obviously pregnant woman rose to her feet.

"What can I do for you Master Jedi?"

"It is just Jedi, Milady. I wished to speak to you, woman to woman. I do hope you can spare me the time."

"Of course. Have a seat. What did you wish to talk about?"

Keitha sat, grateful to have taken her newly found weight off of her feet. The seats were plush under her body. She eyed the protocol droid just off to the side and decided that she would talk garbage until it left.

"Milady, I was wondering about many things. The one at the tip of my mind is the path to which you will be taking Naboo."

Senator Amidala shifted slightly in her seat and the gold machine left the room.

"The path I will be taking Naboo down?"

Keitha allowed herself a smile. It was obvious the Senator had not expected a Jedi to come all of this way to talk shop.

"I'm sorry. Is that not a question you were expecting me to ask?"

"No. It's just I…"

The Senator's normally strong voice and demeanour faded as she looked at something just past Keitha's head. Keitha did not turn her head but instead reached out through the Force. The presence behind her… it left as it had arrived, with speed. It was tantalizing, seductive and infinitely strong.

"Does Skywalker come here often?"

Amidala flushed slightly, barely noticeable but vivid through the Force.

"You're pregnant. I'm assuming he knows."

Amidala again flushed, this time though it was rage that coursed through her.

"And he hasn't told Obi-Wan."

"If you are trying to…"

"I'm not trying to do anything. I had to find the source of his trouble. His worries. And now I have found it. It feels better, being out of the dark."

Keitha stood up and moved towards the window. She turned slightly, giving the Senator a half view of her face. The light played on her gold hair.

"Would you like to be taken out of the dark? Can I trust you enough to tell you?"

Amidala looked towards her curiously yet ready to play the political games.

"What do you mean 'taken out of the dark'?"

Keitha turned back towards the window fully.

"No-one can know. Obi-Wan trusts you and so must I. A secret for a secret. This way you will always know I will never tell a soul for you will be able to hurt me just as much as I could hurt you."

She moved away from the window and sat down on the seat again, next to the Senator.

"I too, am pregnant. Though I am nowhere near as far along as you it is still true. And their fathers are close."

Keitha moved her robe slightly, revealing her small bump under her tunic. Amidala gasped slightly and shuffled on her seat. Keitha stood and walked to the door. Amidala called out to her from her seat.

"The father… Obi-Wan?"

Keitha turned, a slight smile on her lips. She replied in a whisper.

"Now we both know something about each other. Let this stay our secrets and we can help our lovers through this war. And maybe we can hide these blessings of ours together."

Keitha smiled again and bowed, sweeping her robe across her body again.

"Good day, Milady."

Amidala stood, a smile on her lips as well.

"Good day Master Jedi. May you hide your secrets well."

Anakin had returned later after the Jedi had left and he had come home in a right mood. He had spoken harshly and just like every other time Padme had seen him recently she tried to appeal to his better judgement and involve the Jedi Master that they both knew so well.

"Obi-Wan worries about you. He cares for you. Why can't you ask him for help?"

"How do you know he cares? How do you know?"

Padme looked away feeling guilty knowing as she did so Anakin's interest would rise. Anakin stood, a fire burning in his eyes the only indicator of the inferno in his heart. His voice rose to a near shout.

"What have you done?"

Padme winced as if she had been hit. Surely it wasn't betrayal if she told Anakin, was it? Her voice came slowly; quiet, near whisper, a stark contrast to her husband before.

"He has a dilemma similar to our own."

Anakin was silent as he processed this new thought.

"He told you? You are in his confidence?"

Padme's shoulders dropped.

"No. It was another Jedi who came here. She knows about us but swore not to tell."

Padme's face dropped and her head lowered.

"She said our fates are similar and that's why she felt safe telling me."

She brought her face up abruptly as she noticed Anakin leaving. He turned to her but stayed near the door. His face was set in stone and his voice was strong.

"I won't say who told me. I promise.

And he left.

"Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan had been walking down one of the large halls in the Jedi Temple towards the library in search of some new wisdom to help the war effort. He knew that he probably wouldn't turn up anything but it was something to do. He heard the voice and stopped, turning to see his former padawan walking down the same hall towards him. Anakin had a determined look on his face and it made Obi-Wan wonder what was wrong.

"We need to talk."

Another chapter will come soon but maybe not tomorrow. ;)

Review.
