And after several attacks the mother and daughter are taken from the Jedi Temple for their own protection while Obi-Wan chases down the pirate.

Chapter Forty Eight

Third person: Undisclosed Location

"What is thy bidding my Master?" Count Dooku stepped through the door, then bowed to his Master.

"Tell me everything you learned about what happened on Naboo." The Sith Master spoke slowly, weighing the words in his mind.

"Caddock is dead my Lord. " Count Dooku started out. "You were right in believing that young Skywalker would take them to Naboo and they were at the Senator's hidden lake house. He must be more powerful than we've foreseen, for Caddock was killed by his lightsaber."

"The woman and the child?" The old Sith nearly growled.

"Completely unhurt and under guard in the Naboo Palace. I'm assuming that Skywalker or the Senator has contacted the Jedi and they will be arriving there soon." Dooku paused trying to gauze the look of pure displeasure on his Master's face. "What are your plans my Lord?"

The Sith Lord sat there for long moments of deep thought. He wanted to get his hands on that child more than anything, except for maybe Skywalker. But right now he'd lost his way to her. Having Caddock go after her, as to cover the real motives, was a brilliant plan. But that damn pirate had the unfortunate luck of being killed even after the price on Kenobi's head would almost assure him of her capture.

He knew what he wanted, but knew there was no way that he could get a hold of her without tipping the Jedi off to who he really was or to his plans of turning her into a Sith and eventually taking over the entire galaxy. But the timing wasn't quite right. Unfortunately he was nearly forced to let her go for now.

"Take the bounty of Kenobi's head." The Sith finally spoke again. "I don't want to show my hand quite yet. Another avenue to get her will come later."

Dooku nodded and bowed. "Yes my Lord."

The Sith sat there for a long time after Dooku left, seething. Damn Kenobi. First his apprentice on Naboo and now this. And his wife was no better. There was not doubt in his evil calculating mind that she had been sent here for a reason. Though yet to all be revealed, he knew without a doubt that it had something to do with the child. And if he had to kill the great Obi-Wan Kenobi and the child's mother, so be it. He wanted her before her destiny was revealed and then she would belong to him. Then nothing would stop him, not with the power of Kenobi and Skywalker behind him. The galaxy would all be his.

Obi-Wan's point of view

I watched as Meagan put Sasha down on the crib, my heart painfully aware that I nearly lost them all. Though my mind was still whirling. Caddock was dead, but there still was a bounty on her head. And there was still a Sith that wanted my daughter.

"Obi-Wan what's going to happen?" Turning towards me, Meagan was nearly in tears.

I pulled her close, enjoying the feel of her in my arms. "It's going to be alright. Anakin's still out cold, but he is in a healing trance now and will wake up soon."

She sighed, obviously frustrated. "I know that, but what about the bounty on Sasha's head? And is Anakin going to get in trouble for taking off….."

She would have continued, but I put a forefinger on her lips, silencing her words. I knew there was more underneath her worry. "What happened up there?" The only report I got was that Anakin was injured while Caddock was dead.

Meagan became utterly still and looked down. "It wasn't Anakin that killed him, but me." I listened as she told me exactly what happened with her ramming Anakin's saber through the pirate. Though I wanted to applaud her efforts, she needed comfort and assurance more than anything else.

"Honey, you were acting in self-defense. There was nothing else you could have done but what you did. He would have killed Anakin, you and then taken Sasha. You did nothing wrong." We were sitting on the small couch by now and I pulled Meagan closer to me, gently tracing a finger across her cheek.

She still looked doubtful, but wasn't resisting my touch. "But I killed him in anger. Shouldn't that be grounds to kick me out or something."

"No my love, though you might want to meditate with Master Yoda to help you let go of any lingering anger. We all get angry, but it's when you constantly allow it to rule all your actions and act in purely selfish reasons that get you into trouble. That's the mark of the dark side." I paused as I could see it sinking in. "You did act in anger, but your motives were pure and in defense of those you love. You have a wonderful heart Meagan."

She snuggled closer against me and we just held each other for quite some time before talking again. We then got some dinner and settled in for the night. Somehow I even managed to convince her to let Garen watch her so we could be alone.

"Goodnight my little Jedi." I kissed her cheek as I placed her in the crib that we moved into the suit Garen and Ren were staying in. "Daddy loves you so much."

She yawned a little before tucking her favorite teddy bear beneath her chin and succumbed to sleep.

"She'll be fine." Garen's voice was soft. "I won't let her out of my sight."

"I know." I reached over and turned the light off that was sitting nearby. "Thanks again….."

"Don't mention it." Garen waved it off as we stepped out of the room. "Go on. I'm sure Meagan is waiting on you."

I didn't hesitate to go on down the hall to find Meagan brushing out her hair.

"Is she asleep?" She asked when I came to stand behind her, slipping my arms around her waist.

"Nearly the second after I put her down into the crib." I tightened my arms around her. "She was quite tired with most of the Palace fussing over her."

Meagan turned in my arms, scuffing slightly. "As long as they don't leave the room with her."

"She enjoyed the attention." I mumbled, leaning down, touching my lips to her soft skin. "You smell wonderful."

She pressed herself closer to me, her fingers tracing the beard that I was growing back. "You're growing it back."

"Do you mind?" I hadn't thought to consider what she might think when I stopped shaving.

She shook her head, her lips hovering above the cleft in my chin. "Actually I find it quite sexy."

"Do you?" I asked quietly, not taking my eyes off her.

I could barely make out her answer as I titled her chin up, pressing a deep kiss on her sweet lips. Several minutes later, I waved the light of with the Force and carried her to the bed.

Anakin's point of view

I slowly opened my eyes to a white stark room. Where was I? What happened to... The cabin. Caddock had found us. Meagan. Sasha...

I sat up in bed, my head swimming. I took a deep breath trying to clear the fog I was in. I had to find them. What if Caddock had them? Ignoring the pain, I swung my legs over the side of the bed. Seeing that I had several iv's attached to my arm, I started to pull them out, followed by loud beeping noises.

I managed to make it to my feet, still swaying a bit and heading towards the door when I was intercepted.

"Easy there." One of the techs put a hand on my shoulder, trying to get me back to the bed. "You shouldn't be out of bed."

"No." I struggled against his strong arms. "He has them. I have to do something. Now."

"Back to bed young man." They said a little more forcefully, pushing me back.

Not having the physical strength to fight back, I continued to protest as they nearly forced me back into the bed. "No, please let me go. I have to make sure they're okay."

"I'm sure they are fine." The voice was soothing, but I knew these guys didn't have a clue to what really was going on. "Why don't you lie back down again? You'll feel much better."

"No, you don't understand." I tried to explain through the pounding of my head. "I have to find them."

"I think he should be sedated." One of them said to the other.

"No." I struggled vainly as one turned to a nearby cabinet and began pulling something from it.

"What is going on in here?" A voice spoke above the noise. The voice of my angel. "What's wrong?"

"Padme." She would know for sure. She would help me find them. "You have to have them let me go. I have to find them. He has them."

"Anakin settle down." She came forward and placed a hand on my forehead. "Everything's alright. The pirate is dead and Meagan and Sasha are just fine. Obi-Wan and some others arrived yesterday afternoon." I could feel her soft fingers in my hair as her words were sinking in. "You just rest for now. I'll tell them that you woke up."

I tried to ask some more questions about what happened, what I had missed, but sleep soon overtook me.

Sometime later I awoke again, my mind a bit more clear. Instead of jumping straight up, I slowly allowed myself to wake up, becoming aware of my surroundings. I was still in the Naboo Med Center. Meagan and Sasha were just fine. Everything would be alright.

"How are you feeling?" Master Obi-Wan's cultured voice lilted towards me.

Nearly groaning, I pushed myself up to find him sitting on the chair next to the bed. "Except for the bantha parade stomping on me, I'm just fine."

"You have concussion, along with a pretty good sized bump on your head." He stated simply. "But, as long as you take it easy the next few days, you should heal just fine."

That did explain the current headache, but there was more pressing on my mind. "Where are Meagan and Sasha? Are they alright? And what happened up there after I got knocked out? I thought he'd taken them. How did he find us anyway?"

I could tell he was holding back a grin. "First of all, Sasha is taking an afternoon nap and Meagan's with her. Meagan is still a bit worked up about the whole incident, but I think she'll be fine. Luckily this hasn't affected Sasha too much." He paused and went on to explain that after depositing Sasha in the ship, Meagan came back and killed Caddock herself. "And the only theory that we've been able to logically apply is the fact that the Sith must have sensed Meagan and Sasha's more unusual Force signatures and told Caddock to look there for them."

That, unfortunately made some sense. Though I was still reeling from the fact Meagan killed the same pirate that nearly killed both myself and my Master. "Is the bounty still on her head?"

He sighed. "In some parts, yes. And before you ask it, we are going to stay here until the Council deems it safe to return to the Temple. We have to wait to see what the Sith's next move will be, especially since Caddock is dead."

I nodded, trying to process it all. I still couldn't believe that Meagan used my lightsaber to kill that damn pirate. She was the one that saved us, not me. "Master I'm sorry."

He raised an eyebrow. "For what Padawan?"

I looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes. "I let you down. I didn't protect them like I should have."

"Anakin you did everything you could to protect them. You figured out how they found you the first time and tried to find a place where they wouldn't be found. And you purposely fought Caddock so they could escape. You did well and did not let me down. You have nothing to be sorry for."

His words eased my mind but the gentle brush of the Force through our bond eased my heart. "Can I see them?"

He nodded. "They'll come back after Sasha wakes up. Meagan isn't too fond of letting just anyone watch Sasha right now. I had to do some pretty fast talking just to let Garen watch her last night so we could have some time alone." I couldn't help but laugh a little as he continued. "Though I can't say I blame her."

I nodded and yawned, already feeling tired again. "Why am I so tired?"

He smiled, putting a hand on my shoulder. "You lost a lot of blood, Anakin. Get some rest."

Yawning again, I, with Obi-Wan's help, eased back down into the bed, falling right to sleep.

A strong painful yank on my braid brought me wide again. I struggled to sit up as I heard Meagan scolding Sasha.

"It's alright." I couldn't help but smile as Meagan was trying to hold a wiggling Sasha on her lap. "Come here my little Jedi."

"How are you feeling?" Meagan asked as she placed Sasha in my arms, careful not to hurt my injured arm.

"Still feel pretty tired, but at least my head's not pounding anymore." Sasha actually settled against me, snuggling close and I ran a soft head through her soft curls, so relieved that both she and Meagan were safe and unhurt. "Are you sure you're alright Meagan? And I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you two like I should have."

"I'm fine Anakin." She told me. "You did nothing wrong. That pirate may not have the Force, but he's twice your age and has three times the experience. You did everything you could do. Don't blame yourself."

"But you killed him."

She shrugged it off, but I could tell it was still bothering her. "Lucky shot I guess."

There was something more going on, but I knew that she wasn't going to tell me any more. "Where's Obi-Wan?"

"Meditating somewhere." She said as Sasha started reaching for my braid again. "Sasha don't even think about it."

I held back a laugh as Sasha gave us an innocent look, her small hands stopping mid-air. "You little rugrat."

Sasha turned big blue-gray eyes to me, her face an innocence as if to say who me.

Meagan rolled her eyes as we continued to play a little before she grew too active forcing me to put her down. She crawled straight toward Obi-Wan who had just entered the room. He leaned down picking her up.

"Well look who woke up again." He stepped further into the room. "Feeling better?"

"Much. When can I get out of here?"

"Hopefully soon. Though I expect they'll keep you for another day or so."

I tried not to groan. I really didn't want to lie here while there was a Sith most likely still after Sasha. But it looked like I didn't have a choice in the matter. "Do I have to?"

"Yes Padawan." I sighed, well knowing I wasn't getting out of it. "Come on Meagan. Let's let Anakin get some rest. We'll come by later."

Meagan leaned down and kissed my cheek before leaving the room.

Obi-Wan's point of view

I watched as Sasha crawled across the room where Anakin was seated. He'd been out of the med center for about a day and was enjoying his freedom. I had to hold back a laugh as Sasha pulled herself up, yanking on his braid. She sure had developed a fascination with that.

Anakin grimaced, but managed to pry her hands off his hair. And when he started tickling her she grew quite distracted. I watched as she moved around Anakin, using him for balance. She was growing more steady on her feet and it wouldn't be too long before she could take off on her own.

"She has quite the playmate." I felt a pair of arms slid around my waist.

I chuckled, drawing Meagan close to me and watched as the Senator came into the room, sitting besides Anakin and joined them. Sasha seeing someone new, stared at her for a moment before giggling and throwing herself towards her. "I think our daughter must have most of the Palace wrapped around her finger."

Meagan laughed, laying her head on my chest as most of the room's attention was on the trio on the floor. "Most ladies like to fuss over babies. It's too natural."

I raised an eyebrow, not really getting it. I still didn't get what Garen had told me that the Queen's and Senators handmaidens were nearly following him when he was feeding and playing with Sasha the other morning. What was the big deal about a man and a baby?

"Actually." Meagan's soft voice let me knew that she knew my thoughts. "Women tend to find men quite sexy when their playing with babies. It's hard to explain, but it shows a more gentler side that's very attractive."

Now this had me quite intrigued. "Really?"

She nodded, her fingers tracing a pattern on my chest. "Mmhm. I find you quite attractive while watching you rock Sasha back to sleep in the middle of the night."

I stared at her for a moment, never even realizing it. "I guess I know how to get out of trouble when you're mad at me."

"Obi-Wan." She playfully slapped at me as I could see Garen coming towards us.

"I hate to interrupt, but the Council is on a transmission and wants to speak with both of us."

I nodded and kissed Meagan gently. "Hopefully we'll hear whether the bounty's been taken off or not."

"Good. I want to go home." Meagan said before we left the room, entering the communications room.

And it was quite a relief to hear that the bounty had been taken off Sasha's head. Though the Sith had disappeared back into the shadows again. Our link to them was gone. Sasha was safe for now. But if they wanted my daughter, they would be back again.

"Come home you can." Master Yoda's assurances brought my mind back to the transmission. "Safe they will be."

"Thank you Masters." We told them before closing the connection down. "May the Force be with you."

After telling Anakin and Meagan the good news, we made plans to leave the following day.

After saying goodbyes and thank you's to the Senator, we boarded the ship and headed for home. The ride itself went by quickly and we arrived back at the Temple with little fan fair. We did have a meeting with the Council. While assuring us that Sasha was safe, but hadn't decided if Anakin would be punished for his "rather impulsive actions." Though Meagan was quite adamant that he had saved her and Sasha's lives and he was following my orders. Not completely swayed by our arguments, the Council said they would meditate on them.

Receiving the dismissal, we headed back to our quarters, enjoying the quiet peace of the Jedi Temple. It was good to home again.

Several days later, I opened the door and immediately heard.

"No, Sasha, let go of my braid."

Stepping into the main living area, I couldn't help but laugh as Sasha, standing on her own two feet, was tugging on Anakin's braid. Meagan sat in a nearby chair, half laughing, half trying to scold.

Though as Anakin looked up toward me, he grinned. "Look who's home Sasha."

Sasha turned and stood still for a moment before taking a step away from Anakin. She held onto his hands for a moment before letting go, taking tentative steps towards me.

I knelt down, encouraging her to come to me. "Come on Sasha you can do it."

Sasha glanced from one of us to the other before taking another step. Meagan had risen and sat down next to Anakin on the floor. They were both watching in silent awe.

Sasha took another step, smiling at her new found talent. She took another step before falling forward. She let out a howl, more out of frustration than of pain.

Meagan made a move to get up, but I spoke as Anakin gently pulled her back down. "She needs to do it herself. Come on my little Jedi."

Sasha gazed at me for a moment before determination glazed in her eyes. She picked herself up from the floor, then toddled into my open arms.

"That's my girl." I praised her before setting her on the floor. "Why don't you go to Mommy?"

Sasha took a breath and slowly but surely walked over to Meagan. She clapped her hands together, quite pleased with herself. I looked at Meagan's teary smile and then down to my daughter who was, once again reaching for Anakin's Padawan braid. I sighed. Everything would be alright.

AN: Hey hope you've enjoyed another chapter and with a very happy ending! We have had some inspiration from seeing the third movie, as you can see in the first scene. We couldn't help but put that in there! Of course, it's been a bit of a challenge writing this chapter when we keep seeing things we could do during the Clone Wars and EPIII. But I guess you'll just have to wait for that! LOL. Thanks again for reading and reviewing. It might be a little bit before we get another chapter up as we might do a few chapters for our Harry Potter story and then come back for another few for this story, etc. Thanks again for being patient! Have a good weekend.

And now for our quotes:

from LOTR: The Return of the King:

"No, Mr. Frodo, not that way."

"Not that way...What's he doing?"

And from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, one of our fave's lines.

"Can we panic now?"
