From Earth to Star Wars

Part Two: Post TPM by about four years. (Anakin is about thirteen.)

Meagan comes back to Star Wars and meets up with now Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Follows the movies, but is an AU. (Caution.) Ours does have a bit of a twist to it.

Chapter Twelve

"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" I asked my husband for the zillionth time since we boarded the ship more than a day ago.

He smiled as he ran a hand through my hair. "Of course not. Why would I do that? It takes all the fun out of it."

Sighing I laid my head against his chest, still wondering.

"You'll like it, I promise." It was almost like he was reading my mind, but I guess in a way he was. Yes, we still had our private thoughts and we would never invade them, but we could carry on a conversation without saying anything out loud. Also if we projected our thoughts and feelings loud enough, we could pick them up from each other. It was a little overwhelming at times, just getting used to it, but I cherished the closeness I felt to this man.

"We should get up. " Obi-Wan spoke quietly. "We'll be arriving in a couple hours."

I nodded, but didn't move from his arms. "Are you going to shower?"

He gently set me aside and sat up in bed. "Was going to, but you know what happened yesterday when we showered together."

I smiled. "I wasn't implying that. But you'd better go before I change my mind because if I came in with you this ship would have to land itself."

Obi-Wan laughed. "Don't tempt me my love." Leaning down we shared a kiss.

I gave him a shove once our lips our parted. "Go on. I'll get us something to eat."

He nodded, slipped on the robe from his pile, then left the room for the refresher.

*******

Later, I watched as Obi-Wan guided the ship through the planet's atmosphere. "Close your eyes until I tell you to open them." He told me as I tried to peer through the air at the place where we were taking a honeymoon.

"Okay." I closed my eyes obediently and for the next few minutes, I sat there with my eyes closed, extremely excited.

"Okay, honey, you can open them." Doing as I was told, I viewed a beautiful planet that reminded me of not only the mountains of Colorado to the East, but a beautiful coastline to the West. I couldn't get enough of it.

As Obi-Wan brought the ship down, he was grinning. "Told you you'd like it." I heard out loud and through our bond. If he wasn't driving, I would have thrown my arms around him, but I sent him my love and gratitude.

"I love you too." I felt him tell me.

It wasn't much later when we settled into the resort that Obi-Wan found, most likely through Dexter. So, for the next week and a half, we hiked, swam, played, and just were together, in our love for each other.

*******

**Obi-Wan's point of view**

I slowly awoke, close to dawn, wishing I could sleep in, but all those years of rising with the sun on missions had taken its tool. Though awake, I didn't rise, but lay quietly, not wanting to disturb Meagan or get out of bed.

I couldn't help, but remember the night before when we walked down the beach, hand in hand, and barefoot no doubt. While we walked she insisted I take off my boots. She said she and Lisa did this and nothing feels better than the soft sands between your toes. After first I thought she was crazy, but I humored her and discovered that she was right!

Being with Meagan was like a new world was opening up. She made me consider things, like being barefoot in the sand that I would have never considered on my own. She had such an original viewpoint of life that obviously came from Earth, but it made me look at things just a little differently. There were so many things I was learning from her and she from me. We were equals, completing each other in ways I couldn't begin to understand, but was grateful the Force brought her to me.

Her soft sigh brought me from my thoughts. Glancing down, I'd never seen her more beautiful than last night with the fading light of the sun playing off her hair. It looked like it was on fire and the light danced in her eyes as we walked along the surf, talking.

Presently my wife was curled against me. I loved the feel of her soft curves fitting into me, like she belonged there. I let my fingers trace imaginary lines across her bare back. Her skin was soft and smooth and nothing gave me more pleasure than holding her close.

A part of me couldn't believe she pledged herself to me, but another part knew the strength and love of our union. I gently ran my fingers through her dark curls, enjoying the soft feel of her hair through my roughened fingers. Watching her sleep, a strong feeling of protectiveness swept over me. Never before had it been so strong, so intense and I realized what a jewel she was, how strong, how precious her love was to me, to my life.

A soft sigh brought me from my thoughts. Meagan's soft arms rested on my bare chest, her breathing soft and even as she called my name in her sleep. "Oh, Obi-Wan." Settling down closer to her, I closed my eyes and kissed her gently, greatly anticipating another day with her.

*******

**Meagan's point of view**

Sighing, I turned to gaze at the man holding me. His eyes were closed in sleep and several loose strands of ginger colored hair fell on his face. I gently reached up and pushed them away, wishing I could sleep. But the events of the today still had me wired.

Obi-Wan surprised me by taking us on a trip to the mountains. We had hiked through the hills before, but this time we got on a speeder and went up into them. I loved the smell of the pine and all the plants blooming in the summer. We were about to go over a ridge where a valley lay below when Obi-Wan suddenly stopped. "What?"

He took out a piece of cloth, tying it around my eyes. "Trust me." He told me when he felt my protest.

I sighed, not pulling at it, knowing he'd never given me a reason not to trust him.

"Good." With that we drove on and I tried to visualize what the valley looked like, but for some reason I couldn't. Something he did, I assumed.

"Meagan don't you trust me?" He asked as he helped me out of the speeder.

"Of course I do, but my curiosity gets the better of me every time." We laughed as we walked, the tall grass brushing against my bare legs, with me completely leaning on him since I couldn't see a thing.

"Okay, don't move honey." Obi-Wan let go of me briefly as he set something down, our picnic basket, I assumed. A minute of so later, he slipped off the cloth. "Open them."

My eyes flew open to view a field of wildflowers, a kaleidoscope of all colors, surrounded by the snow-capped purple mountains. Tears flooded my eyes, as I watched something that resembled an elk drink by a stream. Nothing looked so beautiful and so much like my home than I'd ever seen in this galaxy. And he gave it to me. He slipped his arms around me as we enjoyed the beauty.

"I don't know what to say…."

He kissed me deeply. "I know Meagan."

The rest of the afternoon was filled with fun as we ate, talked, played, and romped in the field. So, it was quite late when we returned and went straight to bed, but I was still awake, gazing at the man I'd married, extremely grateful that I had this man's love. I loved him with everything that's in me and I vowed I would take care of this man, even if it took me across the galaxy and back.

I let my fingers trace patterns across his bare chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart and the iron strength in him. As I gazed at him, I knew how strong and powerful he was, I'd seen it myself, but since our wedding night, I known nothing, but tenderness from him. I was still amazed at how gentle and loving his touches were. I've heard women, from both galaxies, talk about their fear of intimacy, but I knew I had nothing to fear. Obi-Wan would never hurt me, or let anyone else either for that matter.

My fingers traced along his arms, the muscles twitching beneath my touch. I laid my head against his chest and snuggled close. Nothing felt so right than being in his arms. Since I was a little girl in my Father's arms, nothing had made me feel so safe, so loved and so protected as I did now. Closing my eyes, I finally fell asleep to the steady beat of his heart and the gentle rising and falling of his chest.

*******

"Meagan." I felt Obi-Wan gently shake my shoulder several days later. "I'll be leaving for Naboo in two hours."

That woke me up. "Naboo?"

"Routine." He said as I sat up in bed, taking the covers up with me. "Escorting a new senator to Coruscant. I'll pick up a ride and you can fly this ship back home."

I shook my head. "Don't worry about catching a ride, I'll just go with you."

"You don't mind?" He sat down besides me, pulling me close against him. "I know this is cutting into our time, but…"

I slowly pushed the hair that had fallen into his eyes, away. "We are leaving tomorrow. Besides, I've never seen Naboo anyway."

He smiled. "You're wonderful."

"Of course, I am." We gently kissed and Obi-Wan left, allowing me to get ready.

With in two hours, we were on our way to Naboo. During the ride, Obi-Wan updated me on what the Council told him and about Naboo.

"Are you all right about this?" I asked him quietly when he was done.

He looked down and then back to me. "Of course. Why do you ask?"

"Maybe because you haven't been back since Qui-Gon's death."

The room grew quiet. I laid my head on his shoulder, reaching my hand up to caress his cheek. "I know how hard this is. It took me a lot of courage to go see the spot where Daddy died…It helped me…." I forced away the tears that threatened.

He gazed at me with love and compassion. "I know my love." We both held each other, feeling and sharing in each other's grief and pain.

*******

About four hours later, we landed in the palace hanger. Obi-Wan was pleased to see an old friend, but nervous about returning to the place of his Master's death. I gave his hand a squeeze as we powered down the ship and went to disembark. He stopped before going down the gangplank.

"It's all right, Obi-Wan, I'm here." I leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Remember what we discussed last night."

He smiled gently at me. "I know my love. Let's go."

I nodded and hand in hand we walked down the gangplank. Padme Naberrie stood, dressed in a nice, but little too gaudy dress with a few handmaidens robbed besides her. She smiled at us, but I could tell she wasn't pleased with the extra protection. She, like me, could take care of herself.

Obi-Wan bowed briefly to her and took her hand in his, kissing it gently. "It's good to see you again my lady."

Padme smiled at him again. "Yes, it is nice to see you too, except I don't require the use of an escort." Before Obi-Wan could say a word, she turned to me. "You're Meagan aren't you? Welcome to Naboo. Ani has told me so much about you."

"Yes I am." The two of us hugged like old friends. "Anakin is always talking about you."

"How is he doing? I haven't heard from him in a few weeks." By now we were heading toward the palace, a couple guards and the handmaidens following us.

"He's good. They just finished another term and get about a couple week break before classes start again."
"He mentioned that you two were getting married after his finals. I would like to see him when I get to Coruscant."

Obi-Wan and I glanced at each other, then turned back to the Senator. "He would like that very much. "

"Wonderful." She then showed us our quarters. "Now I was planning on leaving the day after tomorrow, if that's all right. We can leave sooner if you need to get back to the Jedi Temple."

Obi-Wan shook his head. "Meagan and I weren't due back for another couple days. Besides, the Council is one that asked us to stop on our way back home."

Padme nodded. "I have a few things to attend to this afternoon, so feel free to wander around the palace grounds." We both nodded as she continued. "Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?"

"We would love to." With that we went into our room and Padme went about her business.

After Padme left, Obi-Wan and I stepped into the room, more than amazed by the grandeur of it all. "Wow, this is better than the White House."

"White House?" Obi-Wan turned from gazing at the window at some waterfalls to me.

"The house where the leader of the country I'm from live. They give guided tours through the non-residential sections. It's huge."

"Well, it is the palace." My husband placed our bags on the closet floor, then turned back to me, pulling me close. "You are much prettier than any royal personage."

"Well, if you insist, but if I was royalty, I probably would make the guards go insane. I definitely understand why the Senator doesn't like having extra security. "

"Oh really? And what's your theory on this?"

"She's just about as independent as I am. From what little I know of her, she can take care of herself. I think I would sneak out at night just to be alone."

Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows. "Does that mean I might catch you climbing out of our bedroom window now and then?"

I kept my face free from laughter. "Of course not. That's entirely too obvious. I might try the front door for fun."

"Maybe I should sleep by the door every night."

"Sorry, but…." I ran a finger around his lips. "I prefer you to stay with me at night."

He gently kissed my finger. "You're going to have to convince me of that."

I looped my free hand around his neck, and ran my fingers through his hair. With that I reached up and kissed him soundly. "Convinced?"

"On the contrary, far from it." He nailed me with those deep color-changing eyes.

Two could play at this game I thought as I pulled away from him. "On second thought, maybe you sleeping by the door was a good idea. I might just get into the habit of going bar hoping in the middle of the night."

He didn't move an inch, but his eyes followed me. "Bar hoping? Really Meagan, you can find a better excuse than that. Anakin could come up with a better one."

I grinned. "Does that mean you want me to go pod racing?"

He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes, but I could see the challenge. I had wondered when the hard to get or four-play action would come into our marriage. He didn't say a word at my question, so we eyed each other for a minute before I continued.

"Of course I could always sneak off planet and do something really evil. You just might want to make a permanent bed in front of the door. "

He took slow steps toward me. "Nah, I just might let you run and get thrown in prison for speeding across space in a stolen ship."

I pretend to pout. "And you would allow me to be arrested in a foreign galaxy? I thought you were better than that."

"Aren't you the girl that said she could take care of herself?"

I put my hands on my hips, backing up. He was going to get it now. "Yes, I can take care of myself, Mr. I'm so cool Jedi and I can prove it to you."

He raised his eyebrows in interest, still having the calm demeanor he was famous for, but just beneath that was an extreme desire to continue this game and as it would lead to something else. "You know, we really need to spar again sometime. You just might come up on top."

"Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't. Why don't we find out now?"

His eyes began to gleam as he took steps toward me. I dropped down to the defensive position as we began to parry around each other. At one point in time, he came up from behind me, grabbing me tightly around the waist.

I tried to pull away, but his grip was like iron.

"Sorry sweetheart, but I got you and that means I won."

Then I remembered the move I made to get out of this hold before. "And you think you won?"

His grip loosened and I got my chance. I flipped him over and felt his instance surprise. I peered down at him as he gasped for breath. "Didn't Qui-Gon ever tell you not to let down your guard until the bad guy was locked up?"

"Yes, he did, but he also taught me never to give up." With that he reached up and pulled me down on top of him.

"Ahh…" I let out as I landed on top of him. "But I still won." I couldn't help but smirk once I got my breath back.

"Care to make a wager on that?"

I raised an eyebrow as I sat up. "And what would I get out of it Kenobi?"

We stood eye to eye as we both rose from the floor. "And what makes you think you would get anything out of this?"

"I flipped you fair and square. Admit it, I got you this time."

He stepped closer to me, but didn't hold me. "Maybe the game isn't over with yet."

I took a slight step backwards and felt the bed brush against my thighs, but I knew the challenge spoke volumes in my eyes. "Then let's find out."

He took another step toward me and dropped his lips onto mine. Several long minutes later, he eased me down onto the bed. "Let's see who's going to win this."

Several kisses, minutes and such later, I traced patterns across his bare chest. "What are the rules?"

I felt his fingers run down my hip, sending shivers of pleasures up and down my spine. "Then why don't we come up with some?"

"You know?" I mused, still enjoying his gentle touch. "The real question is who is going to decide who wins this game of ours."

Obi-Wan turned slightly, pulling me closer to him. "Meagan, you're always going to think you win every game."

"I always win."

His eyes glistened with the challenge. "We'll see about that." With that he lowered his head and everything but him was lost to me.

*******

Later, Obi-Wan and I got dressed to take a walk around the palace. We were enjoying seeing more of this huge, exotic palace when we ran into Captain Panaka. After Obi-Wan introduced the two of us, when they started talking about security of the Senator, I made a quick exit.

"That's one of my favorite paintings." I heard Padme come up besides me in one of the rooms that was rather extravagant.

"I can see why." I smiled at her as we stood quietly together for a few minutes.

"Where's Master Kenobi?"

"He and Panaka are talking somewhere back there." I waved a hand indicating the direction. "We were looking around the grounds when we met up with him."

I could tell she had a hard time not rolling her eyes. "Sometimes I feel so confided. They are so overprotective."

I had to try not to laugh. "I know my lady, and I'm sure you hear that they are just doing their job."

She nodded, laughing. "And it's for my own good."

I smiled back. "How long are you going to be on Coruscant?"

Padme turned serious. "Depends on how long it takes me to get settled into the new session. I do tend to work better at home, so I probably won't be there for very long."

"I would invite you over for dinner, but it's against the rules…."
"I'm sure we can work something out. I do want to see Anakin again." Padme smiled and I got the impression she thought of him as a little brother. "Now, tell me about this place you are from. Ani has only given me a little description of it."

For the next while, the two of us talked about my home, the Temple, her work, my marriage. We were laughing about something when my husband finally decided to join us.

"Ladies." Obi-Wan greeted us and sat down by me. "I see you two have something to talk about."

"We were just getting to know each other." We smiled at each other as she continued. "I still don't require an escort. I can take care of myself."

"We know that my lady, but we feel that coming to Coruscant might put you in some danger." Obi-Wan said and I more than heard his serious tone.

"Why would I be in any danger? I've never been introduced as a Senator before."

"I don't think many have forgotten what happened during the Trade Federation Conflict. Many in the Senate lost some of their assets and don't care much for you."

I could see and feel her rile up. "But I was doing what was right for my people."

"I didn't mean to upset you my lady, but just explain why we feel extra protection is necessary." Obi-Wan's voice was calm and eased the tension in the air. "Sometimes when we do what's right, it opens us up to being sought against. The Senate is growing corrupt."

The two gazed at each other before she spoke again. "Believe me I know about the scandals, but that's one reason I choose to serve was to bring compassion and justice back to the Republic's Government."

"I do wish you best." My husband commented as someone came in to announce dinner was ready.

Dinner was a grand affair with that included the Governor, Queen, and other staff. They were nice people, but the talk did center on Padme becoming a Senator and politics. Though, there were a lot of questions about the rumors about a girl from another galaxy marrying the famous Obi-Wan Kenobi.

It was later that evening that Obi-Wan and I finally made our way to the hanger and melting pit. As we walked through the main hanger and catwalks, we talked about what happened. It wasn't till we walked through the pathway to the melting pit deep in the hanger that everything came out. Obi-Wan's face was serene as normal, but underneath it was a grief and sadness, knowing in this place, his Master died in his arms. It was like I could see it, like I was watching it on screen, but seeing it how Obi-Wan did, tore at my heart.

He griped my hand tightly as we gazed at the hole where he nearly fell and where the Sith did fall. "Ah, Meagan." I could see a few tears well up in his eyes and feel his pain, the moment the saber pierced Qui-Gon, physically and emotionally. I had to bit my lip from crying out. What he had gone through.

He suddenly tore away from me, going down on his knees, about the spot where Qui-Gon died, his shielding stronger than anything I've ever felt from him. In a few quick steps, I knelt besides him, throwing my arms around him.

"Meagan, I…." I knew what he was trying to say that he didn't want me to see and feel that.

"Oh, my darling." I soothed him, running a hand through his curls then kissed his cheek. "I just wish I was there for you."

We remained quiet for a long moment, both of us honoring Qui-Gon's memory, before he spoke again. "I guess in a way you where."

I looked down into his troubled eyes. "How so?" I was puzzled, but a faint memory tugged at me.

"After his funeral I went back to my room and you were there." He paused, as if sorting through his memories of that time. "You didn't say anything, like you knew exactly what I needed, which was just you. I fell asleep, weeping in your arms. Then when I woke up you were gone, like it was a dream, but it was so real." He stopped as he saw the look on my face. This was sounding so eerie. "What is it?"

"Maybe that wasn't a dream." I dared to venture. "I barely remember waking up one morning on Earth, feeling sad because I held you after Qui-Gon died, that somehow I knew what happened, what you went through, but always thought it was a Force dream."

The two of us stared at each other before Obi-Wan ventured into the quiet. "Well, whatever it was, whether we had the same dream or if you were really here, I needed you more than anything."

I managed a smile as I pulled him against me. "I'm glad in some small way I could have helped you as you helped me."

He nodded as he grasped onto my hands, taking comfort from my presence, our souls reaching and grieving with each other after losing our Fathers. It was sometime later when he asked me. "Can I have a minute?"

"Are you going to be okay?" I asked him as he pulled away from me.

He nodded as I kissed him briefly.

"I'll be back in our room." With that, knowing he was already beginning to mediate, I rose and went back to our room to wait for him.

It was quite late when he came back to the room to find me reading. I went to him, throwing my arms around him. We stood there for a while, just holding each other. "Thank you Meagan."

I reached up, kissing him. "That's what I'm here for."

He smiled and I could see the peace in his eyes. "You will never know…"

"Yes, I do." We gazed into each other's eyes, then got ready for bed.

*******

It didn't seem like two days later that we left Naboo for Coruscant. Obi-Wan, the Senator, and I rode in one ship, while her decoy and other guards took the other one. So, for most of the trip back, Padme and I spent a lot of time together, while Obi-Wan flew the ship.

"I feel bad." She told me one morning.

I gave her a puzzling look. "Why do you say that?"

"I'm taking you away from your husband and honeymoon." When she let down her shields, Padme Naberrie was a very nice, fun loving, compassion, caring woman. One, I doubt many saw.

I smiled at her. "You're not. I got myself into this when I fell in love with and married Obi-Wan. I was warned that his duties would often take us away from each other."

"But doesn't that bother you?" She looked puzzled, but there might have been pressure for her to marry either from her family or government.

I shook my head. "Not really. If he wasn't a Jedi that dedicated his life to serving others, he wouldn't be the same man I love."

She smiled. "I'd guess that would be true. Now can you talk him out of calling me my lady every time I turn around? We've known each other…" She stopped as I shook my head.

"Sorry, Padme, but he still calls me my lady." I laughed at this.

She sipped her tea. "Guess there is no hope for me then uh?"

I shook my head again as we sipped our tea and began talking about different things.

*******

About a day or so later, we landed, with no problems, at a main hanger near the Senate. We were met by the Supreme Chancellor and his aids, then escorted Padme through to her assigned quarters. Once she was settled we were released and headed back to the Temple.

"Let us know when we can get together." I told her as we hugged goodbye.

"Give Anakin a hug for me." She said before Obi-Wan and I left.

*******

It was just days later that we all met at her place for a nice dinner. Anakin was jumping up and down with excitement, having gotten over the fact we stayed at the palace in Theed with her for a day or so. Now they were finally going to see each other for the first in several years.

"You know if I knew you were going to Naboo I would have come along."

Obi-Wan just looked at him. "On my honeymoon, Padawan. I don't think so."

We all laughed as we were greeted by Padme as we rang her doorbell. She and Anakin hugged, with Obi-Wan and I following them in. Dinner was a lot of fun, with Anakin and I bringing down the other's two shields. We all talked and shared about some missions, especially Anakin telling Padme about his lightsaber and Padme's recent commitment to the Senate.

It was quite late in the night when we made our way back to the Jedi Temple. Anakin, though still worked up, went back to his own quarters, leaving Obi-Wan and I alone in ours. I settled down into his bed as he slipped off his robe, changing clothes.

"You okay?"
"Just tired." I was a little tired from the long night, but was still just a little unsettled with trying to make his small apartment ours.

"What is it Meagan?"
I knew he wouldn't accept being tired again. "I guess I'm just a little unsettled about being here." The shock I instantly felt made me rush at the next words. "It's just that in my mind, this is your room, your bed and I'm invading your very personal space."

He looked a little relieved at that, but shook his head. "Meagan, this place was mine, but it's ours now. It will just take a little time to get used to it." He reached over and pulled me against him. "And believe me when I say you're not invading my space."

I sighed as I pulled away from him. "But…."

"Meagan, come here." His voice was incredibly soft, but very firm. I bite my tongue wondering what his next words were going to be. "Come here my love and I'll show you."

Whether he pulled me over or if I moved, I wouldn't know, but after that night, sleeping in his bed wasn't as unsettling as it had been…

*******

AN: Just for a note, now that Obi-Wan and Meagan are married, there will be a few more sex comments and innuendoes, etc. but not explicit sex scenes. Though this chapter was a lot fun to write, adding in the little love stuff between our main couple. We added the scene in the hanger, manly to tie the interlude together with this part and Qui-Gon. (The dreams they were referring to are in the Interlude: Somewhere out There, posted in part one.) We also think that as much as Obi-Wan helped Meagan, that she would want to do the same thing for him and we didn't think he couldn't be affected by being in Naboo again only after a few years.

Another reason was to bring Padme Naberrie more into the story (though the main focus wasn't on this) since both us think the love story in Episode II would have flowed better knowing the two had kept in touch in someway or another, so that's why this was added.

The next few chapters will more than likely focus on them trying to deal with being married and living like Jedi. Maybe they will all go undercover together sometime!!! Stay tuned….this isn't over yet!!!!!!!
