Chapter Eighty

Meagan's Point of View:

"Meagan?" Several nights after we returned home from my being rescued from Assaj Ventress, I heard Obi-Wan calling. "Where are you?"

"In here." I called back from the kitchen, at least putting a little something together for dinner.

Obi-Wan frowned at me. "You are still supposed to be off your feet."

"I'm fine." I turned to my daughter, who he picked up on his way back from the Council meeting. "Sasha, what did you learn today?"

She came from around him, throwing her arms around my legs. "We used the training sets. I want to use a real one."

"Someday." I assured her but felt very relieved it would be years before she would be allowed to handle a fully powered light saber. "Be patient." She still looked a little disappointed but I thought to distract her. "Why don't you help me set the table?"

"I can do it myself." Sasha said, obviously taking Obi-Wan's lecture in mind in which he told her to help me, not to mention a toddler's natural strive for independence. So, she scattered off to the table and I could hear her spreading the dishes that were already sitting on the table.

Obi-Wan gave me look. "I'll finish in here, you go sit down."

"I'm fine." The truth was I was nearly going a bit mad waiting for my injury to completely heal. Sasha still went to her classes and came back to us in the late afternoon and Obi-Wan was training with Anakin or doing who knows what else with the war, leaving me alone all day, either on the couch or in bed. After being nearly shot down and hunted by a dark Jedi, I enjoyed it for about the first day and a half. Now I was just ready to get back to work. "It's feeling much better and I'm doing all my exercises."

"Meagan." There was a note of warning in his voice.

I glared back at him, determined to win this battle of wills. "I'm fine."

He raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't we let the healer's be the judge of that?"

I kept glaring at him.

"Meagan, please." His voice gentled a bit. "I can tell it's still bothering you."

Oh sometimes I hated the fact my husband was so good at reading people, especially me. "I'm going absolutely crazy."

He reached out, taking my arm and leading me back to the dining room, sitting me in one of the chairs. "Stay here. Is dinner done?"

"Yes." I sighed, admitting defeat. "We'll still need our drinks and Sasha's glass of milk. Everything is sitting on the counter."

Sasha, who had finished setting the table rather well, piped up. "I can pour it."

Obi-Wan reached over and took her hand. "Why don't we do it together?"

"Okay Daddy." Sasha didn't argue and followed him into the kitchen.

Dinner passed by quickly, the other two not noticing it was a rather simple dish that didn't take too much work. Sasha chatted about her day and her friends, obviously glad to have both of her parents home the last several days. After we ate, Obi-Wan, with Sasha's help, cleaned up the kitchen as I settled on the couch.

"Mummy." Sasha ran back into the room. "Can we watch Galactic Princess?"

It was her favorite animated movie. "Of course."

Obi-Wan helped Sasha put the video in before she practically danced around the living area waiting for it to process from the previews to the actual picture. Smiling slightly, Obi-Wan sat down next to me. As the movie played, Sasha danced around, singing along with the music while I cuddled up against Obi-Wan.

"Is it still painful?" Obi-Wan asked quietly, motioning toward my ankle.

I thought about it for a moment before answering. "Not exactly painful. It's more stiff and sore than anything else."

He was about to say something else when Sasha bounced toward us and jumped up onto our laps. "Easy Sasha."
"I'm sorry." She looked only a bit sorry but she did settle down with us, still singing along with the movie.

We finished watching the movie and Sasha was yawning by the time it was over. I switched off the video as Obi-Wan rose from the couch, carrying Sasha. I could hear her whinnying that she didn't want to go to bed, though it lacked complete conviction. I headed back to the kitchen and put a kettle on so Obi-Wan and I could have some tea before going to bed. While the water heated, I slowly walked down the hallway and then stepped into my daughter's room.

"Not tired." I could hear Sasha still putting up a protest as her Daddy tucked her into bed.

"Goodnight little one." Obi-Wan completely ignored her protest as he made sure her favorite teddy bear was lying next to her. "Mummy and Daddy love you."

Sasha fought another yawn as Obi-Wan switched off the light. I watched with a smile as he leaned down, kissing her gently, tucking a few loose hairs behind her ears. Sasha yawned again, her eyes blinking rapidly.

"Sleep well." Obi-Wan tucked the blankets up a bit more before rising from the bed. "See you in the morning."

I couldn't help but smile as Sasha dropped off to sleep before Obi-Wan even reached me at the doorway.

"Come on." Obi-Wan motioned me away from the room. "We'd better let her sleep."

I nodded and we headed back toward the kitchen.

Of course my ankle finished healing, much to my relief, and I went back to helping organize relief efforts. Obi-Wan was just as busy with the war efforts, Council meetings and training Anakin. I didn't leave the Temple too much, not unless I was with a bigger group heading to the relief center, especially since I knew those reporters were still trying to get the scope on the wife of the famed Jedi hero, including Pierce. Thankfully I hadn't seen him or even sensed him near me, but I well knew he wouldn't give up easily and sooner or later he would find a way to me.

On another score the escape of Assaaj Ventress was all over the Temple. The Council certainly wasn't happy that not only was Dooku and Grievous on the loose, but another dark Jedi. Obi-Wan told me she must be strong in the Force, having more training than previously thought for her to hide her presence and follow Obi-Wan and Anakin when they came to rescue me. For now, according to Clone intelligence, she had disappeared back into Separatist territory. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan thought, we wouldn't be seeing her again until she caused trouble or in battle. After meeting her, I certainly hoped she wouldn't be facing my husband, but something told me our interactions with the sith witch were far from over.

On another note, based on some of his performances of late, Anakin looked to soon be knighted. Obi-Wan had only mentioned this briefly with not a lot of details and I swore not to mention it to Anakin. From that brief conversation, I did pick up Anakin, though not sure how with the war, would still have to go through the trials. As exciting as that was to see how far and how much Anakin had been growing lately and to see his all his hard work rewarded, it also made my stomach drop. Sometimes the only comfort I could take with the two in battle was they were always there to cover each other's backs. Once Anakin was knighted and out on his own, I shuddered to think of everything that could happen. Oh how I longed for this war to end soon, but no one thought it would.

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

Having gotten our assignment, after contacting Anakin, I hurriedly threw a few things together with Meagan standing by in tears. I hated to leave her so abruptly with no time to say anything expect a short goodbye and it was already eating at me that I wasn't going to see Sasha at all. But Ventress had been detained by Stegera authority when her ship had crashed, most likely due to technical difficulties. We had to leave immediately. They could only hold her for a couple days unless we came for her. This was our best shot at taking her out so soon in this war. Time was of the most importance.

Meagan didn't say a word, well knowing I had to go and any protest would only make things more difficult. Though I could tell she was struggling to keep herself together. "Please be careful."

"I will." I set the bag on the bed and then reached over to pull her close. I could only stay for another moment or two but I needed to hold her, at least for a moment, to remind myself why I was doing this. "I'll be home soon. I love you."

"Oh Obi-Wan." I could feel her face was wet with tears. "I love you too."

With that no more words were spoken. After a long kiss, I pulled away, wiped her tears, grabbed my bag and left.

Anakin and I were standing on the bridge of the Sassy orbiting around Stegera when the call in. Ventress had escaped. They had grounded all transports, but we felt that wouldn't last too long.

"Cody, take a company down, just in case we need back up." I told him. "Rex stay here and keep alert, she may find a way to escape."

"Yes sir." With that Anakin and I left.

Since she had just escaped, Anakin and I were able to pick up her trail. We chased her down main street, her making it rather difficult with people running everywhere and she was creating much havoc. She certainly did have a lot of power, but we also wanted to catch her.

"Well, we meet again, Kenobi." She taunted me, holding a lightsaber in each hand. "How's the wife? I would have liked to get to know her better."

"I'm sure Ventress." I couldn't help but notice her arm, though healed, where Meagan had left her mark. "She sends her regards."

"How lovely." Ventress pretended to gush as she launched her attack.

The three of us fought, up and down a side street, across the building tops and so forth, her showing a great aptitude at controlling the dark side of the force. By watching her moves I could see where Dooku had trained her but yet the dark side hadn't completely taken over her either.

"Give it up Ventress." I told her at one point. "You have no way off planet, come with us and turn yourself in. Come back to us."

"Oh, the Great Negotiator, is trying to turn me good." She taunted, eyeing the empty street below us. "Isn't that sweet?" With that she jumped down, swinging off a light pole and landing lightly on the street before looking back up to us. "Wonder how this will go over. A mere girl managed to beat two Jedi."

Anakin and I gave her chase, once again up and down the streets. By this time, the townspeople had cleared the scene, locking themselves up into the shops or homes. I was grateful they were safe. We ended up chasing her to the outskirts of town where there was an abandoned plant. Ventress wove us through and around everything, wondering if there was some sort of reason and did she have something in mind?

The battle continued as we parried around and through the equipment of what I thought was some sort of chemical plant. A plant, I could clearly sense hasn't been cleaned of its powerful chemicals. Chemicals I supposed could endanger or seriously injure thousands. Venterss kept us quite busy, paying more attention to the canisters she was throwing around than to her, which gave her the definite advantage. To be honest, I wasn't sure how Anakin and I would get out of this one.

"Come now, Kenobi, your wife could almost do better than that." She taunted me, but taking a deep breath, I stilled the instance upset.

"Oh I'm sure she could." I parried back. "She has a lot of talent and a heart, something I'm sure you have somewhere."

Ventress just rolled her eyes as she parried back against Anakin's blade. "Oh please, this is really disgusting." With that she pulled down another canister, sending it straight towards me. Already balancing on a thinner ledge, the thing slammed into me, knocking me down to the ground. I tried to twist my body to get on top of it, to jump back up, but though it felt empty, it was too large. Moments before I hit the floor, I had at least managed to push it slightly away, enough where I rolled my body to avoid serious injury. A warning from the Force came too late as another flying container hit my head, causing everything to go black.

**Anakin's Point of View**

"Master." I saw the second canister hit his head, knocking him out as blood began to spread around his head.

Ventress laughed. "One down, one to go. You'll be much easier to kill."

I took a deep breath, somehow stilling the instant anger, anger that would get me into trouble and wouldn't help defeat her. After all, I could clearly sense my Master's strong presence, which reassured me he wasn't hurt that badly, just temporarily knocked out. Head wounds I guess just tended to bleed a lot, but he could be in serious trouble if we didn't get out of here shortly or if this sith did something with these chemicals.

"Are you so sure about that?" I eyed Ventress as we continued to circle around each other. I was hoping she would make a mistake so I could disarm her, but she had fought nearly perfectly, barely leaving any room open to gain much ground. I glanced around at the chemicals, wondering what her plan was, what this stuff might do to us or to the innocent back in town or even to the entire planet.

"Come on boy, you can do better than that." She continued to taunt me, but I didn't let her effect me.

I watched Ventress carefully, trying to gauge her next move. "Now the little boy is all alone, without his Master." She held both her lightsabers toward me. "What are you going to do now?"

"I hope you think it's a rhetorical question." I sassed back to her, parrying quickly to avoid both of her swinging blades. "I really don't want to tell you my plans." The truth was I had no plan, but if I could just work my way out of the building, then things might get a little easier.

Though it didn't work out the way I had envisioned. Ventress, still in the building, suddenly Force threw a container, close to where Master Obi-Wan lay. I advanced on her quickly hoping she would be distracted, but she still managed to toss one of her lightsabers toward the rapidly spilling chemicals that could ignite everything on flame.

I tried to call her flying blade back but between concentrating on where her other blade was swinging and her pull on it, it wasn't quite enough to stop the fires from starting. I was only slightly pleased when the flames caught some distance to where Obi-Wan was. Acting quickly, seeing Ventress eyeing her exit through the open windows, I gave her a Force shove away from it, but it wasn't enough as I began to advance on her. She still managed to make it to the window, once again managing to escape into nearly thin air.

"So long Skywalker." She called as she flew towards her freedom.

I barely even heard her parting words as the Force surged through me, and instinctively I jumped towards the ceiling, pulling down the plant's water piping system. Reaching deeper in the Force, the water flowed right toward the flames. Easily dropping the floor, I raced over to where my master lay.

I patted his face, gently applying the Force to our bond, noticing his wound was still bleeding but not as much. "Master, I think it's time for you to wake up."

He did, a bit groggily, but didn't seem to worse for wear as I pressed some material to his wound. Once that was settled, and seeing the flames were finally doused, I radioed into Cody and Rex, telling them in which direction she was headed as there was no way I could reach her now and for one of them to contact the planet's security to have someone that knew something about this plant to come and clean this up without making more of a mess. Despite his protests, I told Cody to send Obi-Wan to a transport so his wound could get taken care of.

"Anakin, I'm alright." He protested as some of our men came for him but I could feel his trust in me and could sense he was quite proud of the way I was handling things.

"I have to admit, I'm doing this for myself." I couldn't help but smirk a bit. "I promised Meagan I would look after you, please don't make her come after me."

A bit of a smile crossed his face. "Alright, I'm going. Come and find me when you are done. I'm sure Ventress is long gone and we will be heading back home."

I nodded. "I'll just wrap things up and be along in a few." I watched the transport leave toward the Sassy. Relief washed over me that he was safe.

"Commander." Cody interrupted me. "We just received the report that Ventress stole a transport and left the area." I certainly wasn't surprised to hear that and he went on, saying there was some minor structural and property damage to the area, but no civilian casualties.

Once everything was cleared up, the team and I headed back to the Sassy.

I soon found Master Obi-Wan, sitting on a med table, having his head bandaged by a droid. He didn't look too happy.

"Is he alright?" I asked the droid and earned a scowl from my Master.

"He lost some blood but not enough to be too damaging and there was no concussion. I recommend several days of rest and drinking fluids so the body can replenish the loss." The droid explained as he finished his work. "I will also give him some pain medication."

Obi-Wan closed his eyes and I could sense he was in some pain. It was quite a blow he took. "Am I free to leave?"

"Yes." The droid stood back. "Come back tomorrow so I can check the bandage sir."

"He'll be here." I assured the droid as we left the med center. As we walked through the ship, I updated him to everything that had happened. "I just wish Ventress hadn't escaped."

"You did well." He told me and felt he was being completely honest. "You kept your head, saved me as well as everyone in the town. We had no idea whether that chemical could do a lot of damage and luckily it wasn't one that did. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you Master." I paused at the doorway to his quarters. "Do you need anything?"

"I need to contact the Council and inform them of what happened." He entered his code and we stepped inside his room.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" I asked, not wanting to overstep my bounds, but wanting to show responsibility as well. "I think I can inform the Council especially since, no offense, I was the one that saw Ventress escape and stopped a major explosion."

He thought about that for a moment or two before sitting down on this bed. "Alright, you can. Besides, maybe you're right and I do need to rest. My head is still pounding."

I placed the small bottle of pain killers the droid had given me on the small table. "You should take one of those."

He nodded. "Thank you Anakin, for everything."

"You're welcome." I turned to go. "Do you want me to come back later?"

He shook his head. "I trust you to follow the Council's orders." He paused as he tugged off his boots. "Though stop by in several hours and make sure I'm still breathing."

I couldn't help but laugh at his sarcasm. If he was making jokes, he certainly was okay. "Alright." With that I left his room to let him get his much needed rest.

I reported to the Council and as we expected, we were ordered back home. I could sense they were disappointed we were unable to contain Ventress and that she was growing in her darkness. Though I could somewhat tell they were pleased or maybe impressed with how no one had gotten hurt and that I had taken over and acted responsible after my Master had gotten hurt.

"Very good young Skywalker." Windu said as the conference was winding down. "Come back to the Temple and we can get Ventress some other time."

"Yes Master." I bowed slightly as the transmission ended. After informing and commanded Cody and Rex to take us back home, I retreated into the radio room, a small office for Master Obi-Wan's use off the bridge. He told me he didn't mind me using it and since I was the only Jedi not injured I thought to stay close in case something happened. But I still relaxed on the small couch, meditating about the day.

And for the part I'm sure you guys are waiting for: The quote from one of our favorite movies, Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant. It's a bit longer, but it is too funny to cut. (Cary Grant is Mortimer Brewster and he is talking with his two aunts). Enjoy!

Mortimer Brewster: Look, Aunt Martha, men don't just get into window seats and die!
Abby Brewster: We know, dear. He died first.
Mortimer Brewster: Wait a minute! Stop all this. Now, look, darling, how did he die?
Abby Brewster: Oh, Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive. The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it.
Mortimer Brewster: How did the poison get in the wine?
Martha Brewster: Well, we put it in wine, because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea, it has a distinct odor.
Mortimer Brewster: You mean, you... You put it in the wine!
Abby Brewster: Yes. And I put Mr. Hoskins in the window seat, because Reverend Harper was coming.
Mortimer Brewster: Now, look at me, darling. You mean, you mean you knew what you'd done and you didn't want the Reverend Harper to see the body?
Abby Brewster: Well, not at tea. That wouldn't have been very nice.
Mortimer Brewster: Oh, it's first-degree.
Abby Brewster: Now, Mortimer, you know all about it and just forget about it. I do think that Aunt Martha and I have the right to our own little secrets.

Fantasyfreak133: Yes, it has been a while since we last updated and we're sorry about that, but thanks for keeping up and watching for our story anyway! We are glad you are enjoying it. We hope you liked this chapter.

Darkangel133: The Princess Bride has always been one of our favorite movies and we've have managed to sneak in several quotes from it! Hope you enjoy this chapter and what's coming up soon!

Optigirl101: We are glad that you love our story. That's always nice to hear. As for Anakin and Padme… there will be a wedding in the future, the Wedding of the Century. So, there may be more of them in a chapter or two.

Anaika Skywalker: Thank you! We are so glad you have enjoyed reading our story. Meagan has been a great character to get to know and she does compliment Obi-Wan quite nicely in a lot of ways. She will certainly be keeping him on his toes. We have also thought he would be a good dad, so it's been nice to see him with a wife and child, unlike him sacrificing those things in Star Wars canon.

Chaos: Yes, adversity is quite familiar to them and they usually will come through it. As for Ventress, she once again slipped away but she will be making future appearances. It is interesting how in the comics, Clone War movie/tv show and such, Ventress does seem to have knack for avoiding capture, especially with Anakin and Obi-Wan. As for her turning to the light, though our characters do try, we have other plans for her that go down a different path and it would be quite interesting if Ventress did capture Meagan. Yes, not picking up Sasha wasn't quite natural, now that you mentioned it, but he also knew he would never get Meagan to rest when Sasha was around! He was really saving his own sanity! LOL! Thanks again!

Sharnorasian Empire: I'm sorry you couldn't find it, but after you asked, I also tried to find it and didn't have any luck either. It would be nice to read it again. Hopefully maybe it will turn up someday again. We do hope you have enjoyed this chapter.

PTFZ: I hope you really didn't have one during that part! We were originally planning on having a normal pregnancy and such, but then thought that might be a bit boring and wouldn't ignite our readers' interest, so we spiced it up! Of course, we knew they would make it through. We hope you enjoyed reading our story and will continue to do so!

Thunderfearie13: Yes, the sex slave bit wasn't the best persona for Meagan to be, but it did keep her safe. Though it did take Meagan a while to recover from the entire ordeal, learning that being married to a Jedi does involve a lot of sacrifices. Anyway, we hope you are enjoying the story anyway!
