Obi-Wan stood in front of the door debating on if he should ring the bell or just go in. he went with the bell, it was only polite to do so. After waiting for what seemed like hours the door was answered. Only it wasn't who he thought it would be.
"Sauna, hi, is Aaron around?" He asked.
"Well it's nice to see you too." The women replied. She had long brunette hair that traveled down the middle of her back; she was almost as tall as Obi-Wan save an inch or two.
"Sorry, it's great to see you." He leaned closer to hug her.
"It's been too long Obi-Wan, you should come more often." With a tight squeeze she went back to her standing position. "Aaron's in the back room playing with Kara." She turned around to lead the way and Obi-Wan followed.
After a few halls the two had made it to their destination. A man who Obi-Wan knew was Aaron saw him and got to his feet from the floor where a little girl with blonde hair sat playing with toy starships.
"Hey, look who it is!" Aaron smiled. He went and gave Obi-Wan a manly hug. "It's been a while, why haven't you come and seen us? Kara's missed you." He pointed to the small child.
"As I have her." Obi-Wan smiled.
"Kara, come over and say hello." Aaron looked at her; she got up and ran into Obi-Wan's arms. He scooped her up and twirled her around. When he stopped he kissed her little forehead. She looked in his eyes and said in a small voice:
"Hello, Uncle Obi."
"Wow, look at you. I'd say you grew a whole meter since the last time I saw you. Are you sure you're my niece? Because she was much smaller then you, why you're practically a little lady." He teased.
"No, it's me."
"It's you?"
"Yeah."
"So I see you've got starships and Jedi fighters over there?"
"Daddy got them for me."
"No matter how many times I tell him he has a daughter not a son he still gets her these wings." Sauna told Obi-Wan.
"Well, I say that ever little girl needs a least one set right? Why don't you go and play I've got to talk to your daddy for a minute." He set her down and she went back to her little space war.
"So little brother, what brings you here? Other then coming to see your family?"
"I came to ask you for advice."
Sauna could see it was a manly conversation and let herself disappear.
"Me, advice? Why would you want that?"
"I need a non-Jedi aspect on it, and a brotherly one."
"Well, I'll do my best to help, have a seat."
They sat down across from each other on the couches.
"So what kind of advice are you looking for?" Aaron asked sitting in an overstuffed chair.
"Well as you know Jedi aren't allowed to have fall in love and get married." Obi-Wan reminded him.
"Yeah, kind of makes things a little difficult with certain situations." Aaron smiled.
'Well, there's nothing against physical relations but, it is frowned upon. By having them it can lead to love."
"So what's the problem then, some Jedi girl want to get with you?" Aaron smiled. "Not exactly, more like there is a Jedi girl I've gotten with."
"What that's not a good thing?"
"No, it was a good thing…it was a great thing, but now I fell in love with her and its threatening my future."
"I still don't understand why you're coming to me with this."
"If I ask someone inside the Temple then I'm going to get the same answer. That it's wrong and I'm risking everything."
"I don't have the answers either Obi-Wan, but I know someone who does."
Obi-Wan looked at him with hope.
"Who's that?" He asked.
"You're self." He said simply. "Obi-Wan, I can't tell you what to do. I'm your brother not your conscience, only you can decide what is right to do."
Obi-Wan looked defeated.
"Who is she?" Aaron questioned.
"Um, her names Siri, she's few years younger then me. Blonde hair, green eyes…the stubbornness girl I've ever met…but I love her. I also love my life as a Jedi, helping people…if I were to leave it would break Qui-Gon's heart I couldn't do it." He looked at his feet.
"From what your saying either way someone's heart is gonna get broken. Now the question becomes whose is more important to you?"
Obi-Wan didn't have an answer…yet.
