Chapter Thirty One

**Meagan's point of view**

A baby's cry broke through my peaceful sleep. Obi-Wan rolled over, burying his head underneath the pillow. With a groan, I pulled the covers back and went to the crib, disappointed. This was the first time in a while that she didn't make it through the entire night.

Taking Sasha, I left the room so Obi-Wan could get some sleep. Over the last three and half months, he had done more than his share of night feedings and diaper changes. .

While the bottle warmed, I rocked Sasha back and forth in my arms, soothing her with a lullaby. She smiled slightly at the soft sound of my voice as I reached for her warmed bottle. Sasha's little hand reached out and was helping hold the bottle as I feed her.

As I put her back into her bed, I marveled at all the changes she was experiencing, how much she had grown. How she was beginning to hold onto things, rolling over, babbling to herself and she loved playing peek-a-boo with Anakin. I leaned down to kiss her cheek before going back to bed.

"Sleep well Sasha. Mommy loves you."

*******

"Is Sasha asleep?" Obi-Wan was sitting in the chair in our bedroom, reading, as I walked in one night after putting Sasha to bed several weeks later.

"Out cold." I told him as I picked up my brush before sitting down on the edge of our bed to brush out my hair. "Are you sure about moving her out of our room?" I hadn't been quite ready when Obi-Wan insisted it was time to move Sasha into her own room just a few days ago.

"Meagan, she'll be fine. She sleeps through most nights anyway. Sasha can't get used to staying in here all the time." He didn't even look up from his work.

I sat there for several minutes brushing my hair, trying not to upset myself in knowing how right Obi-Wan normally was. It always drove me crazy.

Then, from across the room, I heard him chuckling. "You know males can be right too."

I set the brush down and turned to glare at my husband. "Rub it in, why don't you?"

This time he laughed out right.

Getting up and walking over to him, I shushed him. "You'll wake the baby."

He shook his head as he reached out and pulled me down into his lap. "Sasha is fine."

I gave him a look as I got up to take a bath. After soaking in a hot tub, I went back into our bedroom. Slipping a t-shirt on, I turned to find Obi-Wan dosing in the chair. I couldn't help but smile at the way an errant strand of his honey colored hair fell appealing over his forehead.

Being as quiet as I could, I gently took the data pad from his hand and was about to cover him with a blanket when he spoke. "I'm not asleep."

I smiled down into his eyes. "Then what were you doing?"

He reached up and pulled me onto his lap. "Just waiting for my beautiful wife to return."

I raised an eyebrow, but didn't complain as Obi-Wan pulled my head down to kiss me. When we pulled away, I found myself snuggled close to him, completely comfortable.

I let my hands run up his chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart. "That was nice."

He chuckled, a hand running up and down my back. "It sure was nice."

I leaned down, kissing him again. He responded warmly, threading a hand through my hair. Several minutes later, we pulled our lips away to hold each other close in the quietness.

It was sometime before his accented voice spoke into the quiet. "Why don't we have cup of tea before going to bed?"

"That sounds good." We talked as we drank our tea before heading back to the bedroom.

"That was a wonderful idea." I told Obi-Wan as I climbed into bed.

He smiled as he slipped his shirt off before following me into bed. "Of course it was. It was my idea."

"Very funny." I playfully swatted at him, then quickly pulled away, sensing his return.

"No fair." He whined as he came at me again.

Giggling, I turned just as he grabbed me by the waist. Tumbling over each other several times we nearly fell off the bed before I pinned him down.

"Pinned ya." I sat on him, straddling his hips, not afraid of hurting him, since there wasn't an inch of fat on his lean, hard body.

He laughed. "Don't you think I let you win?"

"Nice try mister, but I got you this time, again."

He pretend to pout as I couldn't help but laugh. Then suddenly with the swiftness of a cougar, Obi-Wan, in one solid move, pinned me underneath him. I didn't even see it coming as one moment I was on top and the next being grabbed to lay on the bed. "I let you think you won. You madam, dropped your guard."

"I am a little out of practice you know."

He shock his head. "Don't make up excuses Meagan."

We couldn't help but laugh. It had been a long time since either of us felt like wrestling each other. I reached up to stroke his cheek lovingly. "That was fun."

"That was." He gazed down into my eyes and I could see the playfulness along with growing desire. "Oh Meagan."

I felt my pulse rate skyrocket as he leaned down, kissing my neck, his hands on my hips. It had been entirely too long as I melted into my husband, our kisses turning from playfulness to very passionate in record time. Sighing with pleasure, I wanted more than anything else to spend an intimate night with my husband, the first since the incident.

I felt Obi-Wan brush along our bond, feeding it with desire. I couldn't help, but groan as I felt him pull the Force around us, silencing everything outside of ourselves, wrapping us up in a Force bubble.

We pulled away from each other several moments later to get some air.

"Let's get you out of these clothes." Obi-Wan's voice was low and husky in my ear. I smiled seductively as he reached over, his hands figuring the edges of my shirt before he started to pull it off. I was about to slip into a bliss of pleasure when Sasha began screaming. Now this wasn't a normal I'm hungry cry or my diapers wet, but it was one no mother wants to hear.

In one second, Obi-Wan nearly flew off the bed, calling his light saber to him, running out of the room, calling over his shoulder. "Stay here."

Of course, hearing the terror in my baby's voice, I followed him into the room, adjusting my shirt as I went. Sasha's cries lessened as I picked her up and held her close. Her eyes were wide as we watched Obi-Wan, saber ignited, search the room.

When Obi-Wan turned off his saber, I sat down in the rocking chair, looking Sasha over, thinking something had bit her.

"Is she alright?"

"I don't know...." I started to say, but as I let down my shields and reached toward Sasha, it all fell into place. "Oh, Sasha, no wonder you got scared." I pulled her close, sending her love and comfort through our bond.

Obi-Wan watched, a bit confused, as Sasha leaned back and reached up to touch my face.

"I'm here and so's Daddy. It's all right. Everything's okay." Sasha clung to me as I rocked her back and forth.

"Care to enlighten me?" Obi-Wan's curiosity finally got the better of him.

I glanced up at him. "When we raised our shields, she couldn't sense us through the Force and then completely panicked."

He gazed down at her for a second before kneeling in front of us to touch her head. "Poor thing. It's all right pumpkin. We're still here."

It took a bit more time to get her settled and back asleep. I stood by her crib for a while before leaving.

When I went back into our bedroom, Obi-Wan was sitting up in bed, his legs stretched out in front of him. "Is she asleep?"

I nodded, still concerned for her. "For now at least. She's still a bit scared."

He nodded as he reached out and pulled me close. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine. I just don't want to hear her scream like that again. A mother's worst nightmares."

"I know." He mumbled as his lips began making trails along my neck. "Now where were we?"

Though still turned on, I knew I couldn't chance scaring Sasha like that again. Pulling away from Obi-Wan, I asked him. "How can we even consider it? She's still clinging to me in her sleep."

The hand that was working its way through my curls suddenly stopped. "Please don't tell me you are serious about this."

I gazed down into his eyes before pushing away from him. "I can't do this. Not after what just happened."

"Meagan." My name was nearly a growl in frustration that I felt myself. "We haven't had sex in close to six months. And now that you're healthy enough too......" His voice trailed off.

"Please don't remind me." I was just as frustrated but couldn't go through with it now. "You'll just have to teach her that just because she can't sense things, doesn't mean their not there. Then we can pick up where we left off"

He gazed at me. "Oh, no. I'm not waiting several months when Sasha can learn that so I can make love to my wife." He rose off the bed and stomped across the room. "There's got to be a better way."

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

He turned back to me. "To take a long cold shower and maybe if I mediate for an hour after that, I'll feel better. And honey, when I get back, please be wearing something besides that shirt or what I'm going to do will all be for naught."

I nodded, trying to calm myself down. This was going to be a long night.

*******

After that long night finally passed, things seemed to go back to normal for us. Though, with a baby, I don't know what normal really is anymore. Anakin and Obi-Wan continued to work out a lot more, getting back into shape from their time off. Anakin, seemed to be getting a little restless, though he adored playing with Sasha.

So, to help combat that, when Sasha and I went to visit Padme, he came along. We had a delightful tea together. Padme instantly fell in love with Sasha and Sasha seemed just as taken with her. Anakin was very pleased about that and talked about it for days until Obi-Wan finally told him to shut his mouth. Though my cultured, refined, highly trained husband didn't put it quite like that.

Well, anyway, besides the higher sexual tension between my husband and I, things were calm and peaceful. Though, one evening, things began to change.

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

Anakin and I were working on school work one afternoon when Sasha started crying rather loudly. Knowing she was hungry, I went into the kitchen to get a bottle for her. While it was warming, I gently picked Sasha up from the crib she was in.

"It's all right pumpkin. Daddy's here." I rocked her gently as her cries lessened. However, just as the bottle was warmed, Sasha sensing it, started crying again. Once I got the bottle, I held Sasha in one arm and guided the bottle to her with the other. She easily reached out, a little hand curling around the width as she hungrily sucked on it.

"Easy little one. It's not going anywhere." She relaxed against me as I went back into the dining area where Anakin had his work spread out. "How's it going?"

He shrugged as I quickly glanced over his work. "Just a couple more problems and I'll be done."

I paced around a little as Sasha worked on her bottle. She was about asleep when I put her back in the crib. However, the second I set her down, she woke up, crying in protest. Sighing, I leaned down and picked her up again. Sasha immediately quieted and snuggled close.

"Master?" I heard Anakin's voice call to me. "Can you come here?"

With Sasha tucked close I went back to my Padawan. After studying the last problem for several minutes, Anakin put down the data pad and glanced to Sasha. "You want to learn physics?"

I chuckled. "I don't think she's quite ready for that."

He laughed, leaning over to kiss her forehead. "Well, someday, I'll teach her everything I know."

She gurgled a little, reaching a small hand up toward his face.

He kissed a finger before turning back to me. "Have you told Meagan yet?"

I sighed, keeping myself calm, not wanting to alarm Sasha. "Not yet. Even though she's capable of taking care of herself and Sasha, I"m afraid she's gotten too used to having us around. I'm sure she knows that we will be gong back to active duty, but she doesn't want to handle it."

"But we're leaving next week." Anakin brought up a fact that I was dreading to tell my wife. "She needs to know."

I eyed him for a second, wondering how he got to be wise so suddenly. "I know, I do, but....." I let my voice trail off.

Anakin sat still for a moment or two before he started to gather up his work. "Why don't I take Sasha for the night, so you and Meagan can spend some time alone?"

I immediately liked the idea, though I had my doubts of what Meagan would say to that idea. I thought on this as my Padawan continued.

"You're not going to be able to tell her without Sasha sensing something's wrong and ruining your discussion. Besides, I'm sure since we will be gone for a while, that you want some time alone with your wife right?"

I had to give him that and my patience to be intimate with Meagan was beginning to run thin. Cold showers could only go so far. "We'd better go pack a bag for Sasha before Meagan comes back or she'll never let you leave with her."

Anakin smiled before asking. "She won't come get her will she?"

I sighed, knowing I might have to do some fast talking to prevent that one. "I hope not."

It wasn't that much later that Sasha was happily settled with Anakin and this was a good way to allow Anakin some responsibility without getting into too much trouble. There wasn't much he could do with her in the Temple. Besides that, Jema lived only a few doors down from Anakin.

After letting Jema know what was going on, I made dinner and it was just on the table when Meagan came into the room and stopped short. "Obi-Wan what is going on?"

I walked over to Meagan and pulled her into my arms. "I thought it was about time for the two of us to spend some time alone together."

She smiled, but pulled back. "Where's the baby?"

I tightened my arms around her, knowing exactly what was coming next. "She's with Anakin.... for the night."

She didn't move for a moment or so, but then nearly pulled away so fast that only a Jedi's reflexes would have stopped her. "Obi-Wan."

"Meagan, she'll be fine. Anakin can take care of her and this is one way you and I can get some uninterrupted time alone."

She frowned before looking over my shoulder at the candles on the table. I could feel her relax in my arms, but sensed that she was still uneasy. "Are you sure about this?"

I lowered my head to let it rest gently on her forehead. I gazed down into her eyes as she finally looked into mine. "She's fine. Jema knows she's with him for the night and is only a few doors down in case Anakin needs anything. Besides, with Sasha gone, we don't have to wait for her to learn how shielding works to spend some time alone." As I finished, I began making a trail of kisses down her face. She gasped with pleasure and surprise as I worked my way around to her lips.

I felt her arms slid around my neck and through my hair as we continued to kiss. After I pulled back, she snuggled against my chest, the last protest leaving her.

"Did you really make dinner?" She asked long moments later.

"Yes I did."

She gave me a skeptical look as we headed into the kitchen for dinner.

*******

It was much later that we lay in each other's arms, still relishing the joy we finally shared with each other. I felt Meagan's hands make patterns across my bare chest as she sighed with pleasure.

"Thank you for not letting me run across the Temple to get Sasha."

I chuckled at her words. "Thank Anakin. It was his idea for us to spend some time alone together."

She smiled, snuggling against my chest as I cradled her closer. I really didn't want to tell her the news and ruin the moment, but I had to tell her. Luckily she felt my dread and opened the conversation.

"Obi-Wan what's wrong?"

I gazed down into her eyes. "Meagan, my love, there's something I have to tell you."

She raised an eyebrow in wonder before letting me continue.

"You know how I was called to the Council about a week before?"

She nodded her head in agreement.

I tightened my arms around her, knowing she wasn't going to like this. "One thing we discussed was that it's time for Anakin and I to go back to active duty."

I let the words sink in as I continued to hold her. Several tense moments later she nodded her head before speaking again. "I knew this was coming sometime, but at least I have some time to deal with it before you two actually go anywhere."

Just great I thought to myself. "Meagan, love....."

She raised her head, looking into my eyes, beginning to realize that she wasn't going to have that time to adjust. "No, you can't....."

I steadied her shaking head with a hand. "It will be alright. We've been away from each other before."

"I know, but it's been nice having you two around, especially after having Sasha. How can you leave her?"

I slowly made trails through her hair with a hand before starting to speak. "Meagan, I don't want to leave, but it is time for us to return to active duty. This galaxy is changing and needs all the help it can get and Anakin needs the mission experience. We both know he's getting restless and that it's unrealistic that we would never leave the Temple again."

She sighed, seemingly accepting it, but sure didn't like it. "Please don't tell me that you and Anakin are leaving tomorrow."

I shook my head. "Early next week and we're negotiated a peace treaty, so hopefully we'll be gone for a few weeks, maybe a month."

"A month." A near panic was in her voice. "Do you know how long a month is?" She tried to pull away, but I didn't let her.

"It'll be alright, Meagan." I soothed her gently along our bond. Taking comfort from that, she settled back against me. "Everything's going to be alright baby......" I began to kiss her again.

She slowly started to return the touches as I stroked our bond lovingly. She called my name softly as I turned, pulling her into me. Leaning down, I placed a gentle kiss on her lips before I softly spoke. "This is our night my lady love."

She smiled, lacing her arms around me. "I love you."

"I love you too......."

*******

**Meagan's point of view**

I watched as Obi-Wan cradled Sasha close to him, rocking her to sleep. I knew it wold be hard on him, on both of us, since he was leaving. I loved having them around so much, but I knew the galaxy needed them and was important for Anakin's training. As hard as it was, I knew that this was right.

"Oh, my little Jedi." Obi-Wan gently put his cheek on her own. "Daddy loves you so much."

I felt tears come into my eyes watching my husband and daughter together. Suddenly, I got an idea. Going over to my jewelry box, I dug through it and finally drew out the locket Qui-Gon gave me all those years ago. Going to my computer, I took the holpictures of myself and Sasha, sizing them down, managing to somehow fit them into the locket.

"What are you doing?" Obi-Wan's voice was low as I finished my work. Sasha was sleeping soundly in his arms.

"I thought you might like this." I reached up and slipped it around his neck, clasping it together in the back.

After he put Sasha down in the middle of our bed, he took the locket in his hands. "Meagan." His voice was husky as he opened it, gazing at the pictures I put into it. "Qui-Gon gave this to you."

"I know, but now I think he would want you to have it." I adjusted the locket underneath his clothing. "That way we will always be with you."

He pulled me against him. "You and Sasha will always be in my heart."

I laid my head against his chest, feeling his love. "I know, but I thought it would make things easier with you and Anakin leaving."

"We won't be gone for long and will be back before you know it."

I nodded against his firm chest as we just held each other. It was sometime later that he pulled away in order to finish his packing.

Then, only a few hours later, Anakin came over to say goodbye and then the two were gone.

*******

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

After leaving Meagan and Sasha, Anakin and I headed toward the ship. The Republican Cruiser had its own crew and flight plan, so despite Anakin's disappointment, everything was fine. The two of us settled in our quarters, reviewing the information we studied before hand.

After a while, I could feel Anakin growing bored. I glanced up at him, knowing he needed a break. "We can finish this later. You can go explore the ship."

His entire face lit up and I fought a smile. "Really?"

I nodded.

He got up and headed for the door. "What about you?"

I smiled, knowing exactly what I was going to do. "Sleep."

He laughed, completely understanding. "You just want me to leave uh?"

I chuckled. "Go on Padawan, before I change my mind."

He easily turned and left. I climbed into bed, immediately falling asleep, dreaming of a little infant with red hair and blue-green eyes, missing Meagan and Sasha already.

*******

**Meagan's point of view**

After Obi-Wan and Anakin left, I rocked Sasha, humming a tune to soothe both our nerves. She was obviously feeling my sadness at the fact Obi-Wan was gone for a while. I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself, besides hoping and praying that nothing would go wrong.

Though, just as I was about to fix dinner, my doorbell rung. Palming it open, Jema and Dede stood there.

"Have you made anything yet?" Jema asked me, not wasting any time.

I shook my head. "I was about to. Why?"

The two smiled at each other. "Let's go out. It'll be fun."

I smiled. "I hope you two don't mind me bringing Sasha."

Dede smiled. "Of course not. Girls night out."

I laughed. It had been a while since we'd spent some time together and Force knows I needed a distraction. "Just give a few minutes to get Sasha and I ready."

It was close to twenty minutes later when the four of us left, heading toward a restaurant, helping me let things go, at least for a while.

Author's Note: We hoped that you enjoyed this chapter as much as we enjoyed working on it. We thought it was quite an appropriate chapter for upcoming Valentine's Day.
