Chapter Ninety-Nine

AN: Hello again, we hope you have been enjoying these last chapters and the change in the last one with Meagan discovering she is pregnant again! We will tell you a secret, this was a surprise to us as much as it was to Meagan but it's been a fun addition to the story. During this chapter, we will see if Meagan gathers enough courage to tell Daddy and what Obi-Wan's response to this is. Thanks again to everyone who has added this story to their favorites or alerts recently. We appreciate all of our readers. Thanks again and enjoy!

**Meagan's Point of View**

I stood by a crib, watching a small babe, maybe less than a month old, sleeping. The little chest rising and falling gently gave me such a sense of peace and hope and my heart was suddenly filled, knowing this was the child I now carried within.

"Meagan, let the baby sleep." Obi-Wan called from the bed, his voice tired but always the voice of reason.

I gazed back down at the sleeping baby, not wanting to leave this wonderful picture. Until my husband's voice entered the silence.

"Come back to bed, that little rug rat will have us up again in only a couple hours, best get some sleep while we can." I could hear nothing but warm affection in his voice as he spoke about the latest addition to our family.

Knowing he was right, I pulled myself from the crib, walking the few steps to our bed and allowed Obi-Wan to pull me gently into his arms. I settled into a peaceful sleep knowing my husband was in bed beside me, our children in their beds, sleeping peacefully, even for just this moment. Obi-Wan gently kissed me and I sighed, feeling his love, his contentment as well as my own.

I slowly awoke, not wanting to leave the dream, wanting to see more of the baby, but it was quickly fading away. I laid in bed for a moment when I realized sometime in the night Obi-Wan had returned. He stirred next to me, waking slowly.

"When did you get home?" I asked after we shared a few long slow kisses.

He slowly yawned. "Sometime in the night. I didn't want to wake you."

I was glad to see him, thankful he once again returned to us relatively uninjured. Dawn was barely breaking, the morning young and new. Maybe now would be a good time to tell him as he cuddled me close against him, when we were alone, before the day even started.

However, before I could even get started our door slid open, followed by two small pounding feet.

"Daddy." Sasha was clambering up onto our bed.

"Sasha." Obi-Wan pulled away from me to handle our daughter. "You know you should knock before entering a room."

My daughter looked decidedly guilty. "I am sorry, I forgot."

"It's alright." He gently kissed her cheek before taking her back to her room.

As the door started to slide shut behind them, I heard her ask if they could meditate together. Even though I enjoyed watching my husband and daughter together, I held back the groan, my vow to tell Obi-Wan about the new baby the second he got back wasn't going as well as I planned. Of course after our duties were completed for the day, we enjoyed the time together as a family, eating dinner and helping Sasha with her own studies, which was not the time to tell my husband our family was about to become bigger. Once our daughter was put to bed, we sat down to spend some time alone together.

"How long are you going to be here?" I asked him as we cuddled on the couch together and after we discussed recent events, including the Clone bill Padme and I fought against and my speech in the Senate.

"I am not sure." He looked troubled. "There are several spots around the galaxy I could be sent out to."

"This isn't going to end soon is it?" I asked quietly, wishing it would end, wishing I could have this baby in a peaceful time, like Sasha had been.

"I do not think so."

His answer was not at all comforting and it made my stomach turn. Or maybe something in the food he brought home for dinner did it. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan gently pulled me against him and I rested my head against his chest, his chin resting on the top of my head. I was warm and comfortable. Sasha was asleep, hopefully would be till morning. We were finally alone. It was now or never.

"Obi-Wan?" I ventured several minutes later before I lost what nerve I had left.

"Yes?" He asked, looking down at me, looking concerning, as if sensing something.

I briefly debated how to say it but thought maybe the best way was just to say it. "Obi-Wan, there is something…."

His comlink went off. "Yes Master?"

Interrupted once again as he was called out on something with the war or the Jedi or who knows what else. "I'm sorry Meagan, what were you about to say?"

I shook my head. He only had a couple minutes now and this certainly wasn't the time. He needed to concentrate on what was going on with the war, not trying to process this other news. "Nothing important. Go on."

He rose before leaning down to kiss me. "Are you sure? This isn't the first time the war has interrupted us when we've been trying to spend time together."

"And it won't be the last I'm sure." I said, not quite sure what else to say and I'm pregnant wasn't it. "It's fine."

He kissed me again before leaving the room. After he left I sat back, placing a hand on my middle, right over where the baby was growing. "Well little one, maybe next time I will tell your Daddy about you."

Before the sun rose the next morning, Obi-Wan was gone. It was quite frustrating. At this rate, I could give birth before I would find a moment alone with the man to tell him about the baby. Thankfully this particular mission only lasted a handful of days and he returned safely. Though a confrontation with General Grievous left him a little bruised and more than a little cranky that the droid escaped him again. I, once again, was planning on telling him the moment I had a chance, but seeing his darker mood, rethought my intentions. I knew he was not going to be altogether pleased with this, so trying to find the right moment was rather difficult.

Thankfully, the moment finally presented itself a day or so later after his return, when his mood was improved.

Obi-Wan was putting Sasha to bed and I could hear them reading a story together and it warmed my heart to hear it. I felt the tears rush to my eyes. He was a wonderful father and would be again, once he adjusted to it.

A little bit later, when I could hear him leaving her room, he joined me in the kitchen where I was finishing cleaning up. "Is she asleep?

Obi-Wan smiled. "Soundly and hopefully will be till after dawn tomorrow." He paused, gazing at me thoughtfully before speaking again. "Alright Meagan, I think we need to talk." Obi-Wan led me into the living area, sitting us down on the couch.

"What's wrong?" I asked, though I had an idea of where my husband was going. Maybe I would finally be able to tell him.

Obi-Wan watched me for a moment as he sat down. "Well, unless I am completely wrong, you have been trying to tell me something for at least a couple days."

So he had noticed. My stomach turned. "You know we are probably about to be interrupted."

"Before putting Sasha to bed I talked to Master Windu and some of the other Masters, so unless there is a fire in the building I think we are safe."

"Oh, okay." I hadn't expected that but it did give me hope we would not be interrupted this time and I would finally tell him about the baby.

"Meagan, love what's wrong?" I felt my eyes well up at seeing the concern in his eyes. Blasted hormones. I turned my face, hoping to hide them from Obi-Wan, but I wasn't quick enough. "Meagan. What is it, what is wrong?"

I took a deep breath, in knowing I couldn't avoid it anymore. I was pregnant and I needed to tell my husband. "Nothing time won't cure." I paused, thinking he might catch on, but when the confusion stayed in his eyes, I managed to stutter. "It's just... the...reason...Obi-Wan,... I'm… pregnant."

He stared at me for long moments, his face slightly paling before it was covered by his mask, hiding everything from me. It took him several minutes to speak. "But how...we haven't...are you sure? You thought you were pregnant before and weren't."

I nodded, forcing the tears away, relieved that it was finally out and not too surprised by his questions. "I feel the baby and Master Jessie confirmed it."

Obi-Wan still stared at me, but I could tell he believed I was in fact, pregnant again. "How is this possible?"

"Obi-Wan we have a daughter you just put to bed, I hope I don't have to explain that to you." I couldn't help but try to lighten the mood a bit.

"Not that part." Obviously he wasn't allowing it to as he stood and began walking around. "How could this have happened again?"

This was almost going to be the harder part. Taking another deep breath, I explained. "You know how I started having the injections every several months?" Once he nodded, I continued. "Well...with the war and everything going on, I forgot."

"Wait a moment." He paused my speech, as if he was trying to understand. "You are telling me, your injection expired and was no longer effective?"

I nodded, the tears leaking past, knowing what was coming.

"How far along are you?"

"Over five weeks." I waited for the bombshell, watched his face as I could see him mentally counting back. Then he turned before he spoke again, his back towards me.

"Our trip to Arnasas I take it?"

"Yes." My voice was barely above a whisper as I could feel some tension grow slightly in the room.

He suddenly turned back to me and it took me a moment to look up at him, almost afraid of what I would see. His gaze was soft as he sat down next to me again, pulling out a handkerchief, as if knowing I would need one. "Don't cry, Meagan, I know you didn't seduce me thinking you could trick me into getting you pregnant."

I wiped my eyes, nodding, feeling instant relief. "Thank you."

He gently kissed me before speaking again. "Is this why there is no coffee in this house or that there are crackers everywhere?"

I couldn't help but laugh. I should have known he would notice. "Yes, the coffee was making me sick and the crackers are a light snack that helps with it."

He looked concerned. "Have you been sick a lot?"

"Less than I was with Sasha but I think this one might be more particular things that will make me sick. The teas have been helping too. It hasn't been too bad, at least not yet."

He was watching me closely. "Did the Healers say anything?"

"Not much." I told him how the appointment went. "The baby and I are fine."

"Does anyone else know? Besides the healers?" Obi-Wan asked me several minutes later.

"No." I shook my head. "Though I think Padme is suspicious and Master Yoda may sense it. I wanted to tell you before someone else accidentally told you."

"Thank you." He said quietly and I could tell he was still contemplating this news, still processing this change in our lives. "And for telling me. You could have simply let the baby tell me and after our last discussion concerning children, I cannot blame you. It couldn't have been easy."

I shook my head. "Why do you think I kept not telling you?"

"I'm sorry Meagan." He smiled a bit sadly before pulling me against him.

"It's alright." I murmured as I settled into him.

We spent the next several minutes sitting quietly together, I know he was still trying to wrap his mind around it, so I didn't push it. Though after a while, when I was nearly asleep he spoke.

"Meagan." I felt he gently nudged me. "I think it might be time for you to get to bed." He gently set me up before rising from the couch and then bending down to pick me up into his arms. "You my lady are going to need your rest."

"Obi-Wan, I…" I started to protest, but then decided against it. I smiled into his neck as he carried me to bed. Obi-Wan whether he knew it or not, slipped back into the same over protective mood he had while I was carrying Sasha. Hope began to spring in my heart. Despite his desires, despite his initial reactions or his tough no emotion Jedi exterior, beneath all of that, beat the heart of a man who loved deeply. He was a wonderful husband and father. He adored Sasha and whether he knew it or not, she had both him and Anakin wrapped around her finger even before she was born. Seeing his protective instincts come out reminded me he would come around, whether it be next week or when my belly would begin to show or when he would feel his own child kick for the first time. Obi-Wan had a good heart and it would only be for so long before he could no longer deny the feelings that would come. After all, it took him several days before he was pleased we would have Sasha.

Obi-Wan setting me down on the bed broke my thoughts and we were quiet as we prepared for bed. We settled into bed together and even with him nestled besides me, it took a little while to fall asleep. He hadn't been too happy about the news but he seemed to at least accept it where I knew one day he would love this child as much as he did Sasha.

I awoke early the next morning, my stomach churning more than a little. I took a deep breath, hoping to calm it, hoping I would not become sick. I lay there for several minutes, breathing deeply, hoping it would fade away, but unfortunately it did not.

"Meagan." From beside me came my husband's voice, quiet but laced with a little concern. "Are you alright?"

I nodded. It wasn't that bad.

"Have you eaten anything since dinner yesterday?" He asked and I felt him lean over, closer to me.

My eyes still closed, I shook my head.

I heard him sigh before I felt his weight leave the bed.

Another moment or so, I thought I heard a drawer open and close. I almost jumped when Obi-Wan's fingers made traces across my cheek, forcing my eyes open, to look into the concern in his.

A bag of crackers was in his other hand. "I am going to make you some tea. Start eating these, you will feel better."

I wanted to argue with him, but knew he was right and took the bag from him. He watched as I slowly started on the first one.

"What kind of tea would you like?"

When I told him what to mix together, he could not hold back the wince. "Are you sure?"

I nodded, feeling another wave of nausea come over me.

He leaned down, kissing my cheek softly. "I will be back soon, please eat some more of those."
I watched as he left the room and slowly kept munching. When he returned I was already beginning to feel at least a little better. He helped me sit up and I sipped the tea between taking more bits of the crackers.

His nose wrinkled as I drank it. "Does that taste good? It certainly did not smell good when it was brewing."

I took another deep breath, finishing a bite of cracker before answering him. "It does, but then again, I doubt I would have tried this combination if I wasn't pregnant."

The topic of the baby was suddenly sitting between us, making my husband tense. It was obvious he wasn't ready to discuss it further.

I was about to speak when noises from outside our room interrupted it. Sasha was awake.

"No, Meagan." Obi-Wan put a hand up, sensing that I was about to get up. "I can see to her this morning. You stay put and get some more rest if you can."

I agreed to it as he leaned down to kiss me.

"If you need anything, please contact me." He said as he rose from the bed. "I'll bring you something light for breakfast before Sasha and I leave."

I nodded as I settled back into the bed. Watching my husband leave, I could not help but smile a little. Obi-Wan clearly was still unsure and had not completely processed the baby as yet, but one thing was completely clear, no matter what he thought or felt about the baby, he would make sure I was taken care of.

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

My wife was pregnant. Days after she shared the news with me, I was still nearly in shock, not sure what to think about it. It came as quite a surprise, more so than the first time and so much had occurred within our family and the galaxy at large since then. I wanted to react more than what I did when she told me, knowing on some level she was happy about having another child but I just could not. The last days, Meagan sensing I was still adjusting to this change, had given me some space. Meanwhile, she continued to have some morning sickness and mood swings as she was crying when she burnt the toast for breakfast, leaving me to wonder why I had not picked up the changes in my wife before this. I hoped by making sure she was okay before leaving in the mornings and getting up with Sasha so Meagan could rest was showing some support.

Unfortunately the war once again intervened in our lives, and Anakin, Ahsoka and I were sent out on a campaign. Before leaving though I made sure Meagan promised me she would not go anywhere off planet without checking with not only myself but the healers first and that she would not overdue it. She gave me a sweet smile, saying she would. It was almost as if she was humoring me but I knew she would not do anything that could potentially harm the baby.

Now we were traveling through hyperspace and I was sitting in the little office off the main bridge of the Sassy, knowing I should be concentrating on the campaign but my mind kept going back to the coming baby.

My door soon chimed and Anakin walked in and sat down on one of the front corners of my desk.

Nearly glad for the interruption, I looked up to my former apprentice. "Yes Anakin? Any new updates?"

"About the new mission? No." He watched me for a moment before asking. "Is Meagan alright?"

"Why do you ask?" I asked him, wondering if he had noticed anything.

"Padme is concerned about her, asking me if you had said anything." Anakin explained and I wondered how much Padme really knew. "She said Meagan had been looking tired and pale lately."

"Meagan is perfectly fine." Which was true, she wasn't feeling well but morning sickness and tiredness were normal for this stage of pregnancy.

"Are you sure?" Anakin questioned. "I mean, no offence, but she has looked tired lately, more so than normal and you've seemed off the last couple days."

I marveled at his perception but still didn't speak, not quite sure what to tell him. He watched me for a moment or two before sitting down in the chair in front of me.

"Now what are you working on?" He asked, changing the subject back to our objective, giving me a little space, at least for the present moment.

We discussed that for a little while, but I just could not seem to concentrate.

"Alright, that's it." Anakin set down his datapad and stared at me. "What is going on? I have never seen you so distracted."

I leaned back in the chair and sighed, wishing I wasn't so obvious but then again, Anakin knew me better than most. It took me moment or two to speak, as if speaking it out loud made this even more real, a fact I wasn't sure if I was ready to face quite yet. Finally I managed to whisper. "Meagan is fine, but she is pregnant."

Anakin leaned forward, his brow furrowing slightly. "I'm sorry Obi-Wan, you may have to repeat that, I thought you said Meagan is pregnant."

I ever so slowly shook my head. "No, you heard me correctly. She only told me several days ago."

Anakin stared at me for a long moment before speaking. "But she's doing alright?"

I nodded. "She saw the Healers who said she and the baby are doing well, but having some normal morning sickness."

Anakin nodded before asking what I was afraid he would say. "I would say congratulations but feel that is somehow not the right words."

I felt he wanted to say more but decided to hold his tongue, which spoke to me on how much he had grown and matured lately.

"Having a child is a huge responsibility, during a war or not." I ventured out several moments later, feeling the need to at least say something, but was finding difficulty finding the right words.

"I know that, especially now with training Ahsoka. She can be quite a handful, more so than I feel I can deal with sometimes. Padme is great with her, so that helps."

At his words, I could not help but laugh, making me feel at least a little better.

"I know, I know, you don't have to say it." Anakin grumbled but then speaking more seriously. "Obi-Wan, you have nothing to worry about, you and Meagan helped raise me and I turned out pretty good and you are doing a great job with Sasha. She's a wonderful little girl."

I fought the smile at the mention of my daughter and I was enjoying seeing Anakin, as well as Padme, train and raise Ahsoka. He turned out better than I thought he would when I first took him on, Meagan's help being especially beneficial to all of us. "Thank you." I managed to speak quietly, but the raising of a new child was only a part of what terrified me.

As if sensing my thoughts, Anakin leaned forward. "Have you discussed all this with Meagan?"

I shook my head, not sure if I could speak about it yet, put it into words, even to my wife.

"If you want some advice that I've learned being married…."

"Anakin, you know I have been married much longer than you have."

He glared at me, though there was not much heat to it. "That is beside the point. You need to talk to Meagan about this, communication is one of the keys to a good relationship I hear."

I sighed, well knowing he was right. "Thank you my friend."

"You are quite welcome." He stood up and looked to head for the door, but quickly turned back to me. "I can get with Cody and Rex about the plans and you can meditate or talk to Meagan before we are in battle."

I nodded, glad he was along on this mission, to help me keep my mind where it needed to be.

Anakin turned and began to leave the room but paused. "No matter what happens Obi-Wan, I will always have your back."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and left the room. Grateful for his confidence and friendship, I settled down to meditate. By the time we arrived at our destination, I by no means, had completely adjusted to Meagan's unexpected pregnancy but had accepted it enough to focus on my duties as a Jedi. There would be time enough later to deal with the changes in our lives. But as the battle started, my last thoughts before pushing it completely from my mind, were not only of Meagan and Sasha but the unborn one as well.

For the quote, though longer than normal thought it was fitting. From the show Reba. During season two, Cheyenne thought she was pregnant but turns out she wasn't.

Reba: "So you are okay? Everything turned out fine?"

Cheyenne: "Absolutely."

Van nodded, sitting next to her, rubbing her back. "Just a little scare."

Reba: "That's a relief. I want you to feel your best when I do this." She hits them with a magazine.

Cheyenne. "Mom calm down."

Reba: "Little scare! How could this have happened? You swore to me you were using protection."

Cheyenne: "We are."

Van, clearly unsure. "We are?"

Cheyenne turns around and stares at her husband. "Yes Van, I am on the pill."

Van, assured. "That's good."

Cheney and Reba, after staring at Van turn back to each other. "So what? Did you forget to take it? Why else would you be worried?"

Cheyenne: "Because I am positive I always took it but maybe one time I forgot."

Reba: "No, no see you don't forget when there is an eight month old baby in the crib next to you to remind you."

AN:

ColdOnePaul: Yes, Obi-Wan would be more than content with just Meagan, feeling Anakin is his legacy. But as Sasha came along he grew rather attached to her and was happy they had a daughter. When Meagan thought she was pregnant but wasn't, it was more a dream than a vision but it did include two children. Good memory! As for Meagan running for office, we didn't have a particular position in mind, except for maybe senator of Corscant. I think Bail and Padme were seeing if she would be interesting in something along those lines. The Council, may not be too pleased if Meagan did run for an office of some kind at this time but during a more peaceful time and depending on exactly what it was, they might not have such a bad reaction. Palpatine would take Meagan out, something he probably would like to do regardless of her job. As for the future, the ending is coming soon and we will get to see what happens. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Lady Iscea: Yes, Meagan had a dream that included two children during part two, a little before the Clone Wars when she thought she was pregnant. Good memory. We are glad you are enjoying the Clone Wars plot lines we put in and yes there will be a few more before this story is over and they might be while Meagan is pregnant. We hope you enjoyed this chapter where Obi-Wan learns about the next Kenobi and we will see more of his adjustment as the story moves along. Thanks again for your thoughts.

SPDrAnger006: Yes Meagan finally gathered enough courage to tell Obi-Wan, though in her defense, she was interrupted several times. We were contemplating stretching it out for another chapter but thought that might be a bit much and Obi-Wan might have sensed something himself by then! As for knowing more about the baby, we are sorry but we are not divulging anything too soon! Anyway we are glad you have been enjoying these last chapters and hope you continue to do so, especially as Meagan is pregnant again. Thanks again for your thoughts.

Tauriel Skywalker: We are glad you are still reading and enjoying our story, even though you might not read this note till later! Anyway, Sasha has been quite a character to get to know, especially as she is getting to be more of a little girl verses a toddler and loves getting into things with her beloved uncle. Writing a lot of those scenes were rather fun and a good comic relief to the presence of the coming war. We hope you keep reading and get caught up soon. We appreciate your thoughts.
