From Earth to Star Wars

Part Two: Is now Post TPM by about seven years. (Anakin is somewhere over sixteen.) Meagan has been back for about three plus years now.

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. Meagan and Anakin have returned from the Temple, waiting patiently for Garen to bring Obi-Wan home.....what are their reactions going to be and when will Obi-Wan wake up???

Chapter Forty One,

Garen's point of view

I stood up and stretched out my muscles. The trip back to the Temple seemed to be taking an eternity. And meditating wasn't helping any either. Of course it didn't help that Obi-Wan showed no signs of waking from the trance. Though his vital signs had started to rise and there was a little more color to his face.

I sighed as I walked over to where he lay. "We're almost home Obi-Wan. You're safe. Meagan, Anakin and Sasha are waiting for you. We're all here for you." That was the daily litany I spoke to him as I reached into the Force, trying to find him.

Then, I heard a beeping coming from the cockpit. Knowing it was a message from the Temple, I got up to receive the message. When I pressed to activate the call, Master Yoda stood before me. Bowing my head slightly I greeted him.

"How doing is he?" He asked, almost immediately.

I sighed. "Not much better, though his heart rate and blood pressure have risen slightly."

He looked down for a moment. "Meet you a medical crew will. Arrive when?"

"Tomorrow afternoon at about 1400 hours." I told him. "How are Meagan and Anakin doing?"

"Hard on them this is, even the little one." He paused before continuing on. "Almost in shock they are, deeply grieving they were."

I nodded. "Is there anything I can do for them?"

Master Yoda smiled. "Did that already by bringing him home."

I couldn't help, but smile back. "I just wish they didn't have to go through that in the first place. That we could have prevented it."

"Not your fault that was. Made his own choice he did." I knew that Master Yoda was right. "In the past that was. Focus on healing him we should."

Nodding my head, I reached into the Force, slowly ridding myself of the guilt.

"Meet you there I will." Yoda's soft voice broke my thoughts. "Settle Obi-Wan we will."

"I'm assuming Meagan and Anakin will be there too."

"No." His tone was sharp. "Go to them after that, you will."

I nodded as we said some closing remarks and ended the contact. Sitting back, I pondered what Master Yoda had told me.

After coming out of hyperspace, being in the middle of the afternoon, I flew the ship down easily. Guiding it around the planet, I headed straight toward one of the Temple's hangers. The Council had given me strict instructions to land in the one closest to the Healer's Wing.

After powering down, I lowered the gangplank and glanced down. There stood Master Yoda and Master Jessie, along with two of her assistants. Meagan, Anakin, Bant or anyone else wasn't in sight.

I was about to greet them before going back for Obi-Wan when Master Jessie started up the gangplank. "Don't move him until I can look at him."

I shook my head, not really surprised as I waited for her and then we headed back to the small med center where Obi-Wan lay.

She quickly examined him before turning back to me. "Go tell Shawna and Casey to bring in the stretcher."

"How is he?" I asked quietly before doing as I was told. I had to know.

The healer smiled slightly. "You found him just in time. He's still extremely weak, but strong enough to pull through. Being back home will help. Have you been able to reach him through the Force?"

I shook my head, disappointed about that, but not for the lack of trying. "I was hoping I could. Meagan or Anakin might be able to."

She nodded as she started to examine his side wound. Remembering my earlier command, I headed out of the ship.

It wasn't that much longer when the three healer's floated the stretcher down the gangplank. They stopped as Master Yoda hobbled over to it and reached up to touch Obi-Wan.

I felt tears prick my eyes as the emotion could be heard in his voice. "Welcome home young Jedi."

Following them, Master Yoda and I watched the healer's settle Obi-Wan into a room and started to work on him.

"Rest you need." I felt Master Yoda poking my legs with his stick several moments later. I couldn't deny that but Obi-Wan still wasn't awake and Meagan and Anakin needed to be told we were back.

"Sleep first then go to them you can." His voice was much stronger, one that I heard many times before. Knowing I couldn't argue, I glanced back to the room where my friend was. "In good hands he is."

Smiling slightly I left the Healer's wing for my own bed, falling asleep immediately.

Meagan's point of view

"Meagan you need to eat, to keep your strength up." Anakin argued with me for the countless time that day. "I'm going to get something for dinner. I'm sure Garen is just running late. They will let us know when they come home."

What Anakin said made perfect sense, but my heart didn't want to believe it. All I wanted was to see my husband, walking through the door, tall and strong. His arms would come around me and hold me close. I could almost smell his deep masculine scent, the rough fingers making trails through my hair, the soft lips touching my face before finding my lips.........

The sound of our doorbell broke me from my daydreams. Sighing, wondering who it was, I called to Anakin. "I'll get it."

His answer was muffled as I palmed open the door to find Garen standing there. "Hello Meagan."

I stood up on my tiptoes to look around him, trying to locate my husband. "Where is he?"

"Down in the Healer's Wing." He said quietly as I slowly allowed him to enter the apartment as Anakin came around the corner.

"Where is he?" Where the first words out of his mouth.

Garen smiled slightly. "Why don't we sit down so I can explain everything to you at one time?"

I nodded, not being able to stop my hands from shaking, the worst thoughts of what could have happened going through my mind.

Anakin tightly grasped my hands as we sat down on the couch, scared and nervous as I was. "Please tell us how he is."

Garen sighed as he sat down in the chair. "He's still in the trance and is in a room at the Healer's wing. Master Jessie, nor I have been able to reach him. She believes he's strong enough to pull through. We've had him well monitored and he's fairly stable though his vital signs aren't that strong."

"But he will wake up and be alright?" Anakin asked, the fear very evident in his voice.

"As far as I know." He glanced from one of us to another before speaking again. "You two are the ones he'll more likely sense the most, that can help him come out of the trance."

"When can we see him?" I asked.

"Whenever you want. I talked to the Healer's before coming here and they said your welcome anytime." He paused and my heart nearly stopped. "Though I should warn you of his appearance. He doesn't have many injuries, but he's almost a deadly pale and looks dead. I wouldn't even want you to see him, except you might be able to reach him. Even though he's stable, he can't stay in the trance for much longer."

I sighed, making an instant decision. He stayed by my side through my entire ordeal and I would do the same for him in a heartbeat. With my heart pounding, and everything else shaking, I answered Garen. "I want to see him."

He nodded and glanced at Anakin. "He's my Master. I won't let him down. He would do the same for me."

So we headed down to the Healer's wing and Garen led us to where my husband lay. I held my breath as I looked into the room and saw Obi-Wan, pale and eyes closed as if he were dead. My hands started shaking as I started toward the room.

"Meagan, I'm coming with you." Anakin's voice, wavering with emotion, as I felt his hands grasp mine.

I nodded before stepping into the room. I immediately went over to one side while Anakin took the other. I couldn't help, but reach up and touch his face, still barely believing he was even alive. You couldn't even tell he was breathing. All that gave us a clue that he was alive was the beeping of his heart from a machine.

Stroking his cheek, I felt the tears start down my face. "Oh, Obi-Wan, please come back to us."

Anakin took his hand and held it. "Master you promised to make a Jedi out of me. You can't teach me like this."

We both sat there for a while, in the quiet, just sitting there.

Sometime later I stirred, realizing I had fallen asleep, my body in a chair by the bed, my head resting next to Obi-Wan. I slowly stretched up, seeing Anakin sprawled out across the couch just a few feet away. Giving Obi-Wan a kiss on his cheek, I left the room for a second, wanting to work the kinks out of my system. When I reached a waiting room down the hallway, I couldn't help but smile at seeing not only Garen, but Bant, Reeft, Jema, Dede, Siri and several other friends spread out and sleeping. Their support touched my heart.

Quickly brushing the tears away, I poured myself a cup of water and sipped it slowly, making sure to keep quiet as not to wake them. Heading back to the room, I saw Master Jessie standing outside the doorway. She turned as she saw me.

"How are you doing?" Her voice was soft and her dark eyes caring.

I shrugged lightly, not quite sure how to respond to her question.

She smiled as she placed a hand on my shoulder. "He should be alright."

I managed a nod afraid that I might start crying again.

We stood there for several minutes before speaking again. "Meagan, in the morning I want you and Anakin to try and see if you can't reach him. I don't think you two can bring him out of the trance, but at least where he knows he's safe and we can take it from there."

I smiled. "We'll try."

"Try and get some sleep." With that she turned and left, leaving me to my thoughts.

"Meagan, wake up." Anakin shook my shoulder as I came awake. "I got us something to eat."

I shook my head, my stomach turning at the thought of food. "I don't think I could keep anything down."

He looked at me with sympathy. "I know, but you need something to help you through this morning."

I sighed, accepting his advice and the small tray of fruit and bread he handed me. Managing most of it, after I finished we stood in the corner of Obi-Wan's room as Master Jessie examined him.

When she finished she turned back to us. "Okay, all I want you to do is try to reach him in the Force. Let him know he's safe and back home. Once you reach him, we'll take it from there, if he lets us."

I found myself reaching for Anakin's hand and squeezed it tightly. I was so scared, but managed to find my voice. "How can we reach him with our bond broken?"

She sighed as she answered. "You're just going to have to reach past that, but I'm assuming that his are still intact."

I shook my head, but watching him lying still on the bed, motionless, nearly dead, gave me the courage to try. And if it hadn't been for him, I would have died. He was my husband. I could do this.

Anakin was standing next to me, came to the same conclusion. "Let's do this."

Master Jessie nodded as I went and sat on the edge of the bed, taking Obi-Wan's hands into my own. Anakin sat down beside me. Taking a deep breath, I reached into the Force, letting it surround me while Anakin joined, feeding the connection with his strength.

Finally feeling ready, I tentatively reached toward the warmth that was my husband, but found nothing but broken and jagged edges. I whimpered in pain, not being able to reach past that, no clue to where my husband was. The union that was ours was gone, destroyed by that pirate.

"Don't let him take anymore Meagan." I could hear Anakin tell me, as if he was telling himself that too. "We can do this."

Gathering my courage, Anakin and I grabbed a hold of each other and stretched into the Force, past the pain. The Force swirled around us and I could feel Master Jessie and several other Jedi sending us their strength.

"Master." I could hear Anakin call out.

"Padawan." The voice was weak, but soft and gentle.

"I'm here to make sure you can still turn me into a Jedi."

It was almost as if I could hear him chuckle as I reached toward him.

"Don't leave us Obi-Wan." I held unto him as I could feel the Force swirling around us. "Let us help you."

"I'm ready." I could hear him as I felt the Healer's work through us toward my husband.

I wasn't aware of much for the next several minutes except that I held onto Obi-Wan, letting the Healer's work. The Force swirled around us, feeding off of Anakin's strength and power, healing my husband, giving him the energy to come back.

As I felt the Force waves slow, I brought myself out of it. I glanced around the room before down to my husband. His eyes were closed, but his chest was slowly beginning to rise and fall and some color was beginning to come back.

"Give him a few days to come around." Master Jessie told us as she shoed everyone but Anakin and I out of the room. "He's going to be fine, but pretty exhausted for a time. The trance stole a good amount of him."

I nodded, still holding his hand and started stroking his fingers. Anakin sat next to me, his hand tightly grasping my free one. I could feel how tired he was, how much work he put into helping Obi-Wan.

"Meagan, why don't you two get some rest?" Bant had come into the room. "I'll stay with him for a while."

Anakin and I glanced at each other before leaving the room. The next day passed by slowly, but the next morning as we sat with him, I felt a gentle squeeze on my hand.

Glancing down, I found Obi-Wan's odd colored eyes watching me. He looked tired and drained, but very much alive. "Hi."

"Meagan." The gentle, very accented voice sounded quiet in the room. "Padawan."

"Welcome back Master." Anakin's voice was a bit gruff and tears dotted in his eyes as he leaned closer in "I thought I lost you."

Obi-Wan managed a smile as I could feel his exhaustion. "You won't be able to get rid of me that easily."

Anakin and I both laughed a little as I reached up to stroke his cheek lovingly.

Obi-Wan closed his eyes wearily.

"Rest my love." I told him.

He managed a nod as he drifted back to sleep. Anakin and I watched him for several long moments, both us wanting to make sure he still kept breathing.

"You two go get some rest. We'll keep him closely monitored." Master Jessie spoke from a corner of the room. I had forgotten she was even there.

Anakin and I glanced at each other before he helped me up. He held unto me for several long moments before we left the room for our quarters.

I awoke again several hours later, just lying in bed, thinking about the last several hours, how we brought Obi-Wan back. I still didn't know what to feel, how to react to everything. I felt so confused about how he managed to live through it all, why he faked his death, leaving us alone in our grief and the anger that went with that. How could he do that to me? I'm his wife for goodness sakes! On the other hand I felt so relieved that this was over, that I didn't have to raise Sasha alone, that I no longer had to grieve the loss of a spouse. And the guilt, that I didn't know, didn't feel like Master Yoda did, that he was really alive. That I didn't do anything to prevent any of this, to help him.

I sighed as I sat up in bed, deciding that I might as well go check on him, despite my mixed emotions. A long hot shower helped relieved the drained feeling I was experiencing and having a bit to eat revived me a little more.

Not sure where Anakin had taken off to, I went back down to the Healer's wing and found Obi-Wan still sleeping. Not wanting to disturb him, I left the room and headed down another hallway to find a couch where I could mediate a little, hoping to sort out my feelings. However, what I got was a waiting room full of people! Jema immediately got up and threw her arms around me.

"Are you alright?" She asked when I pulled back.

I nodded my head, wanting to talk, but not in front of everyone. "I'll make it."

Her gaze showed she didn't quite believe me, but she didn't question it as someone asked.

"How is he?"

I shrugged lightly, as I accepted the cup of coffee Dede gave me. "Asleep for now."

They all nodded and started to settle back down as Master Jessie came into the room and turned to me.

"I've been looking for you." My heart suddenly seemed to stop, but Master Jessie smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder. "It's alright. Let's go find Anakin. There are some things we need to discuss."

I nodded and followed her from the room. After we found Anakin with Garen in another area, we sat down. Master Jessie told us, much to our relief, except for being exhausted, Obi-Wan was going to be fine. All the tests that they had ran had come back clear. All he required was a lot of sleep, food, water and tender loving care. She also told us we might be able to take him home to finish recovering within the next few days.

So, feeling a least a little better, while Anakin went back to Garen, I went to Obi-Wan's room. As I sat down on the edge of the bed, he opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you?" I asked, hating to think I disturbed him.

He wearily shook his head. "I was awake."

I nodded. "Would you like anything?"

"A glass of water." His throat must have been still raw and rough if his voice was any indication.

I got up and poured a small glass from a nearby pitcher. Helping him sit up a bit, I handed the glass to him. "Slowly."

After completely draining the glass, he leaned back, closing his eyes before asking me.

"Where's Sasha?"

I lapsed into quiet before speaking, realizing I didn't know where she was. "Bant's been watching her lately, but I just saw her out in the waiting room."

His lips turned into a slight smile. "You mean you don't know where my daughter is?"

I shrugged lightly. "I've been preoccupied and Bant drew a lot of comfort from taking care of her. She might be in the nursery."

He nodded. "I'd like to see her."

I sat back down on the edge of the bed. "Is that even allowed?"

"Does it matter? I haven't seen her in nearly a month." He sighed deeply and I thought he'd fallen back asleep when he spoke. "Bring her tomorrow?"

Not being able to tell him no, I nodded my head. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you." He reached over and stroked my hand before falling back asleep.

After getting a good night's sleep, I woke early the next morning. Knowing Sasha would be awake, I left Anakin sleeping on the couch and headed down to the creche. Because of her more moody behavior, they usually kept her away from the others, in a room reserved for when kids got sick. When I entered, one of the Healer's was rocking Sasha as she worked on a bottle.

I tried to hide in a corner, but she knew I was there and spit out the bottle, and tried to get away from the creche nurse. Stepping forward, I took Sasha and cradled her close to me. "It's alright. Mommy's here."

After talking to the creche Healer for a few minutes, I left the creche and headed toward the Healer's Wing. Tucking Sasha into my robes, I headed straight for Obi-Wan's room. Sasha, as if sensing the need to stay quiet or the quietness of the place, stayed very quiet.

I stepped a bit uneasily into his room, seeing his eyes closed. I didn't want to wake him, but didn't want to keep Sasha here for very long. She couldn't keep that quiet for very long.

"Meagan?" I heard Obi-Wan's voice, slurred a bit with sleep.

Stepping close to the bed, I answered him. "I'm here."

He glanced toward me. "Is it morning?"

"Yes it is." I sat down on the edge of the bed, trying to adjust Sasha against me,

but she had started wiggling. Glancing around to make sure no one was walking by, I sat her more fully on my lap.

Obi-Wan's eyes lit up in awe as he gazed at her and I could already see the tears forming. "She's grown."

I couldn't help, but smile as Sasha sat quietly on my lap for a moment, not quite sure at how to react to seeing her Father again. "She can nearly stand on her own too. It's only going to be another couple months before she's walking."

He reached out touching her face gently. "I missed you my little Jedi."

Whether it was the touch or what he said, sparked a reaction out of Sasha and she nearly flung herself toward him. I reached out to steady her, as not to hurt him, but he shook his head.

I watched for the next several minutes as the two interacted. Sasha had reached up, touching small hands to his face, patting it as if asking where his beard was. Obi-Wan, though obviously exhausted, took great joy from seeing her. When it became obvious that Sasha was ready to go play, no longer content to snuggle against him, I took her from him.

I could see his disappointment, but he was about to fall back asleep. "I'll bring her back later."

He nodded as I leaned up, kissing his lips gently. "Thank you."

I smiled as I watched him succumb to sleep before tucking Sasha close again and left.

Anakin's point of view

When I found Meagan gone, I found something to eat and got ready. I then went down to the Healer's wing to find Meagan sitting on the bed with Sasha on her lap. Smiling at seeing them together, I crept away, keeping watch as I knew Sasha probably wasn't allowed.

After I heard Meagan leave with the baby, I poked my head back into Obi-Wan's room to find him sleeping. Quietly sitting down in the corner, I reached into the Force, trying to sort through all my feelings of anger, guilt and relief. Having him back with us helped, but both Meagan and I had a long way to go in dealing with all of this.

"Padawan." A weary, but familiar voice broke my mediation nearly an hour later.

I rose from my spot to sit on the edge of the bed. "I'm here Master."

He reached up to touch my face and gently tugged on my braid. "I've missed you Anakin."

"Me too." I smiled, trying to speak through the sudden lump in my throat. "I have something for you."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "A get well present?"

I unhooked his lightsaber from my belt. "Sort of, but this is actually yours."

He stared in disbelief as I put his lightsaber in his hands, leaving my hands over his.

"Meagan gave it to me after we thought you died, knowing that's what you would have wanted. But now you're back, Master, it's still yours."

He blinked several times, but the moister was still in his eyes. "She was right, but thank you for taking care of it."

I tightened my hands on his. "I wouldn't have lost this one."

He smiled slightly, well knowing my tendency to go through sabers. "I know Padawan."

I couldn't help, but smile slightly back, still so confused about all of this.

"Give yourself time." He said, gazing at me with a keen understanding and sympathy. He set the lightsaber aside, reaching up to pull me down to him.

I nodded against his chest, relishing in the fact, that unlike him, my Master had lived. After a few minutes I pulled back, feeling how tired he was becoming. "Get some rest. We'll be here when you wake up."

He nodded and closed his eyes briefly before speaking. "Thank you for taking care of them."

"Your quite welcome, but she took care of me just as much."

"That figures." Master Obi-Wan smiled slightly before falling back asleep.

I watched him sleep before curling up on the couch, to keep watch over him.

AN: The saga continues on as they all start to heal from recent events. However, we will be going on vacation during the next couple weeks and since Sasha will be studying abroad for a while, we're not quite sure when the next chapter will be out. But rest assured we are continuing the story, but the chapters (through January or so) won't be posted as often as we usually do.

To IrishHeart: As of right now, we are planning to take the story to the Clone Wars. The real question is if our story will be posted before the movie is released!!! If it comes out before we get there, we'll probably end up following the movie and of course, changing it here and there to fit our added characters. It will be exiting to see what happens!!

And now for the quotes one from the "Fellowship of the Rings" and another of our favorites movies, "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Frodo....Frodo.....Frodo......I thought I lost you...."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's just something Gadalf said."

"What did he say?"

"Don't you lose him Sam Wisegamgee and I don't mean to."

"Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?"

And of course we know what happens when Merry and Pippin come charging into the scene. And of course ya'll might have caught the same kinda of line between Anakin and Obi-Wan right after he wakes up. Meagan had put it in without realizing, but when Sasha had caught it, we just had to put this quote at the end of the chapter!

And one of our favorites from Pirates.

"Stop blowing holes in my ship."
