The Duchess spent the next three months working with her good friend Padmè Amidala in Coruscant to create a peace treaty the Republic could agree with, and one the separatists could honor. Their marriages had been the talk of every gossip in the city, but both women were well practiced in ignoring their critics, and had no issues. Their husbands, on the other hand, on the rare occasions they were able to spend time together, were nearly getting into fights every few minutes because someone said something to insult them.
It was a joyful day for them all when they finally were free. New Jedi had been ordered to replace Kenobi and Skywalker commanding their ships, which were suddenly very devoid of any men to crew them. Anakin and Padmè returned to Naboo, with many promises to visit often. Ahsoka traveled with Obi-Wan and Satine back to Mandalore.
They returned home to a great celebration. The people of Mandalore were thrilled to finally meet their Duke, especially once they had learned that he was the one who had defeated the Kyr'tsad and rescued the Duchess. It was also the first time that Satine was able to publicly recognize their son, Korkie, as heir to the throne, instead of as her nephew, as she had claimed all his life. The men they brought with them only caused greater rejoicing. Any clones who had wished to had been allowed to leave, to make their own way, or to join other professions on Mandalore. But most of them had chosen to remain in the army. They had known nothing else in their lives, and preferred to stay with something they were familiar with.
Ahsoka took over the daily training of the army, since Obi-Wan was now busy helping Satine rule the system, keeping the peace between them and the republic. And if their son, Korkie, spent most of his time watching Ahsoka train, no one said anything. Satine and Obi-Wan watched the two with delight. They loved Ahsoka as their own daughter, and secretly hoped that one day she would truly join the family.
Mandalore truly did not need as large an army as they had. But the galaxy was in a precarious place. The newly ratified peace treaty was followed, but only barely. Mandalore took over the Jedi's place in the galaxy as peacekeepers, traveling wherever needed to assist in rebuilding, or reminding any particularly obstinate systems of their obligations. Anakin and Obi-Wan went along on some of these missions, but Ahsoka and Korkie headed most of them, leaving the two men to be able to stay home with their wives and play their parts as leaders of their planets.
The people of Mandalore rejoiced. Death Watch was no longer a threat. The war in the galaxy was at an end, leaving them with peace. Their Duchess was home and safe. And with a former Jetti as the mand'alor, and at the head of such a large army, Manda'yaim was finally a force to be reckoned with.
