This is written in first person point of view of Meagan unless otherwise noted.

From Earth to Star Wars

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.

AN: We can't believe that we are at fifty chapters! Wow...landmark chapter! And if we get three more reviews, we'll also have 100 reviews! So thank you to all our readers for reading and letting us know what you think of our story! This story has certainly been fun to write, and challenging as well. Developing our characters, especially as they reveal themselves to us has certainly been an experience. Though this story isn't over by far. Not quite sure how many more chapters, but the story will include Episodes II and III. After seeing ROTS, we got lots of good ideas to use! So, thanks again and enjoy reading chapter fifty.

Manson: Thanks again for reviewing...here's another update for you and hopefully there will be another one shortly.

Aradia Skywalker: Thank you. We are very pleased that you like our story. This chapter does have some Ani/Padme in it, though it does include Sasha. As it gets closer to Ep II and III there will be more of them together. Thank you for that request. We had cut the last scene out of the chapter while they were still on Naboo, but it got put back into the story by way of a flashback. It was quite a fun one to write!

Chapter Fifty,

Meagan's point of view

My fingers traced slow patterns across Obi-Wan's chest. This morning had been so relaxing and so wonderful. "Can we do this every morning?"

Obi-Wan's arms tightened around me, his lips making a trail down my neck. "Sounds good to me."

"Mmmm...please...don't...stop." I managed to mumble, very much enjoying his sweet attentions. Though it was very short lived as one of our com links started blinking.

Obi-Wan raised his head. "Is that yours or mine?"

"Mine." I groaned, sitting up in bed, reaching for it. Hitting it, I only activated the audio. "Kenobi here."

"Meagan were you planning on coming in today?" Jema's voice came over the link. "There are some issues that need discussing."

I sighed. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

Obi-Wan reluctantly let go of me as I rose from the bed and began to get dressed.

"I'll see you tonight." I leaned down and kissed Obi-Wan before leaving the room.

"Good, glad you're here." Jema greeted me when I entered her office close to an hour later. "We need your expert opinion."

I raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"

Jema pointed to a chair in her office. "Why don't you sit down?"

After discussing a rather serious case they were working on, she abruptly changed the subject. "Are you doing alright?"

I nodded. "Much better. I've let most of it go, but when I watch Sasha sleep I can't help but feel a bit scared that someone is still coming to take my baby."

"Meagan, Caddock is dead. No one is going to take Sasha." Jema paused for a moment before continuing, reaching over to squeeze my hands in support. "I think those feelings will fade with time. Why don't you get back into a more normal schedule? Maybe working on a case will take your mind off things."

I sighed. Normal sounded quite nice right now. "Where do I start?"

Jema smiled, then picked up a stack of files and data pads. "You can start with these."

I glanced through them, thinking she was right. It would help getting back into cases.

After completing my work, I left the office, heading back to our quarters. Anakin was playing with Sasha in the living room while Obi-Wan finished dinner in the kitchen.

"Thank you honey." I told him as I started cutting Sasha's portions into small baby bites.

"Your quite welcome." He leaned over, kissing my cheek before going into the small dinning room.

"Owe...Sasha...let go of the braid." Anakin cried out just as we finished dinner and setting the table.

I was trying not to laugh as both Obi-Wan and I went into the living room.

"Let go of the braid Sasha." Obi-Wan told her sternly. "Now."

Sasha obediently let go of the Padawan's braid, but she was beginning to pout.

"Dinner is ready." I held out my hand to Sasha, wanting to smooth things over. "Why don't we go eat?"

After dinner we settled down into the living area. Anakin and Obi-Wan were working on something, mostly likely the former's homework. While straightening up a bit, I made sure Sasha wasn't getting into anything while she played. And everything was going fine, for quite some time, until I saw her little hands reaching for Anakin's lightsaber which was sitting on a near by end table. "Sasha no."

Two heads turned at the sound of my voice and Anakin called his saber to him only seconds before Sasha reached it.

"Come here Sasha." Obi-Wan set the data pad he'd been looking at down. "I should have done this months ago."

"Done what?" I asked as Sasha walked over to him, crawling into his lap.

"Start educating her about lightsabers." Obi-Wan unhooked his from his belt as Sasha stared at it in utter fascination.

"But she's just a baby." I immediately protested.

"She's not going to be running around with one. I'm just going to be teaching her that lightsabers are not toys and that, as a Jedi, this weapon is her life." He shrugged lightly. "Meagan, it's not a big deal. She'll be starting her saber training in just a year or two anyway."

"What?" I was fine with Sasha learning basics of the Force and using it to call toys to her and such, but using a lightsaber?

"Honey, I was handling one by the time I was two." He said soothingly. "I won't let her turn it on, just get a feel for it."

I sighed, not really liking it, but didn't want to start a fight with both Anakin and Sasha in the room. I heard Obi-Wan sigh as I left the room, well knowing he would teach her no matter what I thought.

Anakin's point of view

I wisely didn't comment as Meagan left the room. I learned long ago to stay out of the arguments between Master and Meagan. So, like always, I turned back to my work, hooking my lightsaber back onto my belt, making a mental note to keep it out of Sasha's reach, especially now.

"Okay Sasha." Master Obi-Wan's quiet calm voice nearly echoed in the room a few minutes later. "Sit still and I'll teach about what this is."

Despite the earlier confrontation, I couldn't help but watch as Sasha sat still, still eyeing the saber in her Father's hands. After all this was her first lightsaber lesson.

"Sasha this is a lightsaber." He held the hilt out in front of her. "This is a Jedi's weapon, this is our life. And it is not a toy."

He stopped for a few moments allowing Sasha to gaze at the saber in front of her. And for being so little, I could tell that she was already grasping onto what he was teaching her. I watched as Obi-Wan guided her small hands to where she could touch it. Sasha's eyes were unusually solemn as her still tiny fingers stroked the hilt of the saber.

"A lightsaber becomes a part of you, an extension of your hand." Obi-Wan helped Sasha actually hold the saber, her small hands not even circling completely around it. "We use it in order to defend ourselves. And one day, when the time is right, you'll make one yourself. It's a part of becoming a Jedi."

He let Sasha take that in before pulling it away from her. "Now, if you sit back and stay still, I'll turn this on."

Sasha nodded and scooted back, snuggling into his chest. And with a snap hiss his lightsaber came to life. Sasha's eyes were wide with complete awe as he twirled it in front of her. A moment or two later he turned it off and told her a few more things about lightsabers before letting her go play again.

It wasn't too much after Sasha's first lightsaber lesson that I left the apartment for my desk duties. One of the extra chores the Council had given me was minding the front desk. And this time I was assigned to a night shift. I sighed, this sure was going to be fun. And after settling in for the shift that lasted several hours, I started sorting out some mail that hadn't been gone through yet. And finding something addressed to me, knowing it was from my Padme, I couldn't wait to get off work to go and read it.

And of course, time passed very slowly, but it did none the less. So when I was finally in the privacy of my quarters, I eagerly opened the envelope. I flicked the data pad on, quickly devouring what Padme wrote to me.

Dear Ani,

It was good to hear from you so soon after we parted company. It was such a relief to know that you arrived at the Jedi Temple without further complications. And despite that horrendous ordeal it was wonderful to see you, Obi-Wan, Meagan and that precious baby again.

And Ani, please don't continue to blame yourself as to what happened. You did everything you could that was in your power, to protect Meagan and Sasha. They don't blame you, so neither should you. It's all over now and you should concentrate on other things and not dwell on what you cannot change.

Now, onto brighter things. I really enjoyed getting those holo-pictures of Sasha walking. It was such a joy to see how much she's grown in only a few weeks. I passed them around the Palace and everyone enjoyed seeing them, especially since half of my staff have fallen in love the little one and probably spoiled her a bit more than her parents thought necessary. And the other half find it such a pity that Obi-Wan is married as they all seem to have crushes on him. Though you might not want to mention that to Meagan right now. And I wouldn't mind getting some more pictures of her, especially when she starts talking. I expect that it will be soon, as intelligent as she is.

Anyway, I also wanted to tell you that I'm not quite sure when the next time I'll be on Coruscant, though whenever I do, we'll have to meet sometime while I'm there. I do hope your arm and head have completely healed and that you are getting back to your more normal self. Give my best to Obi-Wan and Meagan and give Sasha a kiss from Aunty Padme. Write me again for I adore hearing from you. And May the Force always be with you.

Your Friend always,

Padme

I sighed, picturing her dark beautiful eyes and thick curly hair. I quickly read the letter several more times before remembering the one night, while still on Naboo, when we gave Sasha a bath...

I smiled as I adjusted Sasha against me as Obi-Wan and Meagan left the dinning room for a stroll through the moonlit gardens. Spending some time on Naboo was certainly quiet and peaceful. And very healing for all of us.

Sasha suddenly spit out her bottle, breaking my thoughts. I glanced down at her, grabbing a napkin, knowing what she really needed was a bath. She must have gotten more on her than what got into her stomach. "If you excuse me, I think it's time to give this little one a bath."

The others smiled as Padme stood up. "I'll help you."

I couldn't help but smile. She looked more exquisite than I'd ever seen before and was certainly still the Angel I dreamed of, but wasn't meant for bathing a baby like Sasha. "Sasha will actually give us a bath."

She waved a hand, dismissing the concern. "Oh, I'll go change into something more appropriate and meet you in the refresher in just a few minutes."

With that she turned and left the dinning room. And after exchanging glances with the others, I carried Sasha from the room.

"Now, let's see what you need." I let Sasha crawl around on the floor while I gathered the necessary supplies and set them up by the bathtub. Making sure Sasha was still alright, I heated up the water, making sure to get just the right amount of soap in. Sasha loved playing with the bubbles.

"Everything looks about ready." Padme commented as she entered the room several minutes later, this time wearing a simple outfit that was almost like the one she was wearing in Watto's junk shop on the day we meet.

"Just about." I said as I made sure that the water wasn't too hot. "If you could get Sasha for me."

Padme was back in a matter of seconds, and then helped me undress the baby.

"Here goes nothing." I set Sasha down into the tub and she immediately starting splashing.

I pushed a few toys toward her as I held onto her back, making sure that she didn't fall backwards. Sasha grabbed one of the toys, holding it in her hands before bringing it down on top of the water, sending water and bubbles straight onto my face.

Padme laughed, a rich joyous sound that nearly sent my heart racing. She reached up and gently brushed several suds off my face. "You weren't kidding were you?"

Before I could even answer her, Sasha started kicking her small legs, nearly soaking us with water.

"You like doing that uh?" I asked Sasha as she clapped her sudd full hands together, giggling in glee. "She likes when I do this." I told Padme as I, using the Force, squirted some water towards her.

Sasha laughed, her hands dipping into the water, and then turning slightly she reached for me, water and bubbles getting everywhere.

Padme laughed as she reached for a toy, a squeaking duck. Sasha watched as Padme played with the duck before trying to imitate the sound.

"She's so precious." Padme said a moment or so later as Sasha took the toy from her and preceded to squeeze down on it, sending nearly a cascade of water on me again.

"She's a little hoodlum." I had to say, but a smile slid across my lips at seeing Sasha's smiling face.

"Yes they can, but we cherish them no matter what." Padme said as she reached for the wash cloth and soaped it up and then proceeded to wash Sasha off.

I sat back a bit, watching as Padme gently washed her, talking in soothing tones, touching her gently. My heart melted at the sight of both of them together. Padme was so gentle and tender that I knew she would make a wonderful mother to our children someday. She seemed so different, so motherlike with her face dripping with soapy water, the curls lining her face clinging to the side of her smiling face.

"Do we need to wash her hair?" Her sweet voice brought me out of my daydreams.

"Probably should. It's been a while." I grabbed a cup and the baby shampoo. "Close your eyes Sasha."

At my words she squeezed her eyes shut as I dumped the cup of water over her head. I took the bottle that Padme was now holding and put a couple drops of shampoo on my hands and then washed her curly red head.

"Close your eyes again." I directed to Sasha, filling up the cup again. And being careful to avoid getting soap in her eyes, I rinsed it out.

"Hand me one of those towels will you?" I asked Padme once I was done.

Padme turned and handed me one. "Why do you have so many?"

"Well, one for her, one for each of us and several for the floor."

She laughed as I picked Sasha up, wrapping her in the big towel. She snuggled into the soft warmth as I dried her off.

"Let's get you into your pj's." I murmured quietly as I left the refresher for the main room to where I left a clean diaper and her night clothes. "And then it's time for bed."

Padme stood by my side and helped me slip Sasha into them. "Are those lightsabers?"

I nodded as I cradled Sasha close, her head drifting sleepily to my chest. "Yea, they are. We saw them and thought they would be cute for her to wear. After all, she's going to be a little warrior someday."

"You going to put her in bed now?" Padme quietly asked as she removed some of the toys from the crib. They seemed to have multiplied since half the Palace bought them for her.

I sat down in the rocking chair, careful not to move Sasha too much. After all the activity around the Palace and the bath, Sasha was tiring quite easily. "In a moment. She likes to be a rocked a bit before going to sleep."

And once Sasha was asleep, I slowly rose and gently laid her down in the crib. And well knowing she would awaken soon without it, I found Sasha's favorite teddy bear, tucking it in with her. Leaning down I kissed Sasha's soft cheek. "I love you my little Jedi."

"Goodnight honey." Padme adjusted a soft blanket around the baby's small sleeping form.

We watched her sleep for several moments before turning to leave the room. I flicked the light off before going back into the refresher to clean up a bit. "You know you're going to make a good mother someday."

Padme looked up from drying off the duck, making sure it didn't squeak and wake Sasha up. "Maybe one day."

I looked into her deep brown eyes. "It would be such a pity not to share your obvious love with your children."

She smiled slightly as she set the toys aside. "Thanks, but we'll see."

I hid a smile as I finished drying the floor, she just didn't know about our future together.

And after everything was cleaned up and put away, I tiptoed back into the room and found Sasha still sleeping peacefully, as if her world hadn't nearly fallen into ruin.

"Ani are you alright?" Padme's voice came from behind me several minutes later.

"It's all my fault." I managed to say. "Maybe if I'd done something different, didn't act the way I did, they wouldn't have nearly lost their lives."

Padme shook her head, but took my hand, leading me away from the crib. "Anakin, you did everything you could to protect them. It isn't your fault. Sometimes these things just happen, even if they are horrible."

I was about to protest, but her soft hand was still on my hand, calming me. "I don't know."

"Give it time and I'm sure you will feel the same way." She reached up and kissed my cheek. "It's starting to get late. Why don't you go get some rest?"

"Alright my lady." I offered her my arm. "At least let me escort you back to your room."

She nodded her head and we walked through the Palace...

Coming out of my memories I couldn't help but smile at the memories of that night, how she helped me bath Sasha, and also helped me deal with Caddock nearly getting his hands on Meagan and Sasha. And how it reminded me that she would someday be my wife and what a wonderful mother she would make to our own children.
