Satine Kryze was a force to be reckoned with. There was nothing hidden that she couldn't dig up. She put these skills to use when they were needed. Whether it was to get back at ex's or finding long lost relatives.

Right now, she was doing it to find her friends Prince Charming.

Satine had known Ben Kenobi for almost all her life (really they had known each other for 10 years, but it felt longer than that) and she had grown very fond of the man. She was there when he met Quin. She was there when he called her sobbing into the phone with joy at the new ring on his finger. She was there when they said their vows and Ben was a sobbing mess again. She was there when they adopted Anakin at the age of 5 and again when they adopted Ahsoka as a baby.

She was there when she got the call from the hospital saying there had been an accident. She was there when Ben woke up after surgeries. She was there when he got the news and she did her best to hold him as he cried.

"I don't think I'll be able to do this without him." Ben's watery voice said. "I can't raise two kids by myself."

"You won't be by yourself." The conviction in her voice was strong and she knew Ben could feel it. "I'll be there. I'll help you with the kids."

Ben sniffs loudly in her ear and she chuckles as she brushes his greasy hair from his forehead.

"You don't like kids."

Satine rolled her eyes and gave him a smile.

"I like your kids." She admitted to the man in the hospital bed. "It's going to be alright."

She was there when he left the hospital just a week ago. He could barely walk and Ahsoka begged to be carried by him.

"Your dad can't carry you right now," Satine told the 3-year-old. The girl kicked in her arms and squirmed as she tried to get down.

"Ahsoka, I can't hold you right now." Ben's eyes were dull and tired. Satine knew the walk from the car to the door took far more energy than he thought it would have. However, it did nothing to stop him from giving his little girl a soft smile. "Do you see this?" He gestured to his cane.

Ahsoka nodded and sniffed loudly.

"I can't let go of it and my other hand isn't strong enough to hold you." He held up his trembling left hand to show the girl the problem.

"Cold," Ahsoka stated shortly.

Ben chuckled and shook his head.

"Ahsoka, dad's been hurt real bad," Anakin explains. "He can't hold either of us right now."

Ahsoka's face falls and Anakin is quick to try and cheer her up.

"That's why Aunt Satine is here! She's gonna help dad!" The small family paused at the steps that led up to the front door.

Ben sighed as he examined them.

Satine placed a hand on his arm and he looked at her with a strained smile. She knew he was hurting. She could see his legs shaking and the exhaustion pulling at his limbs.

"I'll go get the kids inside then help you up the stairs." She tells him softly before sending the kids inside. She comes back out to find Ben on the ground with his eyes shut tightly. Kneeling next to him, she touches his arm to get his attention. "Ready?" She asks, watching as he examines the stairs in front of him. He nods and pulls himself up.

Satine bolsters his right side and he sags into her. She doesn't complain.

It's a draining task that leaves both of them dead tired after they've made it into the house. Ben's legs buckle and Satine does her best to keep him from crashing to the floor and doing more damage to his knee.

He lets out a sob that tugs at her heart.

"It's alright." She whispers against his hair. "I've got you."

Satine was fiercely protective of the single father and therefore wanted the best for him.

That's what led her to this moment.

She was sitting across from the brother of the man Ben had fallen in love with.

"Twins?" She asks as she regards the man and thinks back to the picture she had managed to dig up of Cody. The man nods.

"I'm Rex."

"Satine." They slip into a sort of awkward silence before Satine manages to speak up. "Ben is awfully fond of your brother." She starts, watching his face to gauge his reaction. He just smiles and laughs. He runs a hand over his close-cropped blond hair.

"Cody's awfully fond of Ben." He admits. "I think you have me at a disadvantage though."

Satine raises an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Rex nods and doesn't lose his smile.

"You know what my brother looks like, but I don't know what Ben looks like."

"That can be fixed with a few taps on my phone." She pulls out said phone and finds the first picture of Ben that she thinks is the best one. The picture was candid. The man had no idea it was happening and that was the beauty of it.

In the picture, the sun was setting and Ben's hair was lit up with the last rays of the sun. His glasses were snug on his face and his blue eyes (blue? green? gray? Satine would never really know) were filled with joy and lined with laughter lines. The soft sweater he had on wasn't his own. It was Quin's and therefore didn't fit him that well. The sleeves were over his hands and nearly covered them completely. She knew his left hand had scars on it and remembered it was shaking rather badly that day. His cane rested against his leg on the ground as he sat back against a tree stump.

Satine knew that if you were there, you would see he was watching his children play in the last remaining light of the day.

"This was taken two days ago." She informs Rex. "He doesn't smile as much as he used to, but his children always seem to know how to make it appear." Her own smile is loving as she turns the picture back to her eyes.

"I can see why Cody likes him." Rex's voice is soft and Satine stares at him.

"You've never met him."

Rex shakes his head.

"I haven't."

"Then how-"

"That picture? That unbridled joy in his eyes?" Rex shakes his head in a kind way. "My brother described him to me. When he talked about him," Rex huffs out a soft laugh. "I've never heard my brother talk about anyone like that. He cares so deeply for him. He loves him."

"Ben feels the same," Satine interjects.

"It's settled then."

Satine nods. Ben and Cody were going to get together. All it took was their friend and brother to set things in motion.
