Chapter 8

AmyAmidala & Jedi X-man Serena Kenobi: Thank you for your reviews. I love hearing what people think lol!

Back to the story!

A/N – I think this chapter is gonna be a long one lol!

Tahl and Selena met Siri outside at 01.30 hours. The blonde hugged her best friend and smiled at Tahl.

"Congratulations Mistress Tahl, I heard you're expecting twins."

Tahl smiled and the three women walked down the busy main street.

"Right here we are." Tahl said aloud as they stopped outside a small shop which was full of gorgeous ball gowns that sparkled and shined in Siri and Selena's eyes.

"Shall we go in?" Tahl enquired.

Siri and Selena didn't reply they just walked into the shop with awe. A plump friendly middle-aged woman beamed when she saw them.

"Tahl! Tahl! Oh, heavens above look at you! You're pregnant again! That's fantastic." The woman gushed as she hugged her best friend who smiled.

"Ella! I'm so happy to see you!" Tahl cried as they hugged each other.

"This must be Selena and young Siri." Ella said as they walked in.

Siri and Selena smiled and sat down on a sofa beside Tahl.

"Now I suppose you'll want dresses for the ball?" Ella said as she walked over to a rail full of gowns. Ella picked out a green velvet dress and showed it to them.

"This was specially made for you Tahl, Qui Gon came down here earlier and told me you were pregnant so I made this for you."

Tahl took the dress, waddled over to a small cubicle, and changed into it.

"Mum? Mum are you ready?" Selena called.

"Yes, but I look like I'm wearing a parachute!" Tahl grumbled and the three women laughed.

"I'm sure its not that bad Mistress Tahl." Siri replied kindly as Tahl stepped out.

"Well what do you think?" Tahl asked them.

"You look great mum." Selena told her with a smile.

Tahl looked at herself in the mirror and then she smiled slightly.

"I guess I don't look that bad." Tahl admitted.

"So girls what colour of gown were you thinking of?" Ella asked the two younger girls.

They both shrugged and Tahl shook her head with a smile. Ella walked over and pulled out a pale blue gown which had a long skirt that trailed and a corset style top with three quarter length sleeves.

"Siri try this on." Ella instructed and Siri took the dress and went in to change.

Ella handed Selena a gown that was similar to Siri's only it didn't have sleeves and was a pale pink colour. Selena went to change and when both girls came out, Tahl had changed back into her normal clothes.

"Girls you both look beautiful." Tahl awed as they both twirled and laughed.

"Now go change girls and then you can pick out shoes to match." Ella told them as they headed off to change.

Tahl picked out a pair of flat green shoes to go with her dress, Siri and Selena both picked out shoes that had a small kitten heel and were the same colour as their dresses. Ella wrapped up the dresses and put the shoes into boxes and they paid for everything.

Ella opened the door and bid them goodbye.

"Thanks for everything Ella." Tahl shouted as they headed back to the Temple.

Qui Gon and Obi Wan were not in when Selena and Tahl returned later that afternoon.

"They're probably in the training room." Selena suggested to her mother as they put the boxes away.

"Talking about training, I won't be able to train you soon." Tahl said and pointed to her huge belly.

"I'm sure the Council with think of something." Selena told her mum with a smile.

Just then Qui Gon and Obi Wan entered, both of them were out of breath as they had finished training.

"No Master I think you'll find I won." Obi Wan playfully teased as he flung his bag into his room.

"Padawan I think you'll find I beat you besides I am more powerful than you." Qui Gon argued back with the same playfulness as Obi Wan.

Tahl looked at her daughter who shook her head and muttered.

"Men."

Qui Gon and Obi Wan looked at them and they both grinned. Qui Gon walked over to his wife and they shared a tender kiss. Both Obi Wan and Selena shuddered and pulled a face.

"Master's please! We still have to eat dinner!" Obi Wan groaned as he walked over to Selena and they hugged.

"You two have some cheek! Beside I love your father and we may be older but we have feelings too." Tahl retorted with a smile.

Selena rolled her eyes and Obi Wan looked in her room since the door was opened and noticed the boxes.

"What's that?" He asked puzzled.

Selena spun around and then looked at what he was staring at.

"That is what I am wearing to the ball next Saturday." She answered with a small smile.

Qui Gon turned to his wife and asked softly.

"Did you get the dress?"

Tahl looked up at him and replied quietly.

"Yes I did."

Selena and Obi Wan said goodbye and he grabbed her hand and they ran giggling to her room and locked the door.

"You two better not be doing anything un-Jedi like in there!" Qui Gon shouted.

Tahl smiled then Qui Gon frowned he sensed great sadness coming from his wife.

"Tahl what's wrong?" He asked concerned.

"Nothing, well when I tried the dress on I felt so happy but after I seen Selena and Siri I felt like I was extremely fat and useless compared to them, I mean I'll probably have to give up training Selena." Tahl then broke down.

Qui Gon smiled sadly and held her the pregnancy was playing havoc with her emotions.

"Tahl listen to yourself, your fine trust me! You'll be the belle of the ball and Selena loves you she'll understand if she has to have a new Master for a couple of months, she would want you to be safe and happy." Qui Gon reassured her.

Tahl looked up at him lovingly and he wiped her eyes.

"Oh Qui Gon I'm so lucky to have you, I love you so much."

He kissed her and she took his hand.

"I'm feeling kinda woozy."

He smiled and they went into their room and fell asleep in each others arms.

Obi Wan and Selena meanwhile were making out. They were trying to outdo each other, Obi Wan planted trails of kisses down her neck, and she moaned then they stopped in shock as Tahl banged the wall.

"PIPE DOWN IN THERE! WE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!" Tahl roared.

Obi Wan looked down at Selena who bit her lip to stop from laughing, he grinned and she kissed him tenderly.

"I guess your mum heard us?" Obi Wan asked quietly as they lay down beside each other.

Selena snuggled closer to him and replied softly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for her outburst, the pregnancy is playing with her emotions and she's tired."

Obi Wan smiled and he looked at the chrono on the bedside table it was 04.48

"Look you wanna go see if we can catch up with the others?" Obi Wan suggested as he sat up.

Selena nodded then grabbed him and flipped him over so she was on top.

"Yeah but after I do this."

She kissed him like she had never done before and when she pulled away Obi Wan was shocked but happy and she scrambled off him and grabbed her cloak and flung his at him.

"Are you just gonna lie there or are you gonna come with me?" Selena raised a brow at him and he shot up.

"Are you ok? You look a little shocked?" Selena frowned as he got up and shoved his cloak on.

"W-When did you learn to kiss like that?"

Selena grinned and shrugged.

"I have no idea I just did it there but by the looks of things I guess you liked it." She grinned seductively at him and they walked out hand in hand.

Siri, Kit, Bant and their other friend a male Padawan called Rey Ursa were standing in the room of a thousand fountains.

"Hey guys." Bant greeted as she hugged them.

Selena and the Mon Calamari rushed over to Siri who sighed.

"Siri you seem unhappy." Bant said as they sat away from the guys.

"I'm not well I am a little." Siri told them truthfully.

"What's the matter?" Selena asked kindly.

"Bant you know how Rey asked you to the dance?"

"Yeah." Bant answered.

"Well you see I kinda l-like him." Siri admitted in a small voice.

Bant shreiked with joy and the 3 males turned to look at them stunned. Siri blushed and Selena smiled and told them.

"Its nothing to worry about, just ingnore us."

They shrugged and Siri hissed.

"Bant! I wish you would stop doing that."

"Sorry Siri, I wish you would have told me I would never have accepted his offer its just well Kit asked you and I kinda like him." Bant told her and blushed as the two humans started at the green nautolan who nudged Obi Wan and muttered.

"Siri and Selena are staring at me and it's freaking me out!"

Obi Wan and Rey exchanged puzzled glances and looked over at the three young women.

Siri and Bant were both bright red and Selena was smirking.

Care to tell us what's going on? Obi Wan asked Selena who replied.

Oh nothing don't worry about it and tell Kit we're sorry for scaring him.

Obi Wan smiled and put his hand on Kit's shoulder and told him.

"Don't worry Kit."

Kit giggled nervously and Rey just smiled and then Siri caught his eye and he smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Did we miss something?" Kit asked.

"N-no I-I just like smiling.."

"At Siri?" Obi Wan interupped with a grin.

Rey went beetroot and murmured.

"Ok I admit it I like Siri and I want to go to the ball with her only Kit asked her and I asked Bant and I don't wanna hurt their feelings."

"You like Siri!" Kit blurted out.

"I'm sorry Kit I know you asked her…" Rey began but Kit laughed.

"Rey I'm not mad at you! I'm actually glad you said that, you see I like Siri too but just as a friend I actually have feelings for Bant and I was hoping to ask her but she is going with you." Kit replied sadly.

"Hey I know how we can fix this." Obi Wan told them.

"Siri! Bant come over here a minute." Obi Wan yelled.

Selena looked at them both and nodded, stunned the two walked over.

"Ok we have a teeny tiny problem." Obi Wan declared.

"What is it Obi Wan?" Bant asked confused.

"Kit likes you Bant but you're going to the dance with Rey."

Selena rejoined them at his side and continued.

"And Siri here likes you Rey but you're taking Bant to the ball."

"So what do you two suggest we do?" Rey frowned.

Obi Wan turned to his dark haired friend and grinned.

"Simple you go with Siri and Bant should go with Kit."

The four looked at each other and Bant spoke up.

"I wouldn't mind swapping."

Siri's eyes lit up.

"Me neither."

Kit looked at Rey and he nodded.

"Ok we'll swap then." Kit replied happily.

Selena smiled at Obi Wan and then they watched their four friends together.

A/N- Ok the next chapter will be the ball and then after that I think Tahl's birth.
