Hai! Okay, sorry for the lack of updates! Enjoy the story! =)

Anakin sighed contently as a healer wrapped bacta around his wounds.

The healer finished and dismissed him, "Now, come back if your injuries get worse or infected, understood?"

Anakin nodded and then bowed. "Yes. Thank you for your service."

The healer was surprised by his humility and smiled. "You're quite welcome, Knight Skywalker."

Anakin walked down the corridor, a huge relief washing over him.

Still, though, something didn't feel quite right.

"Ah, Anakin, there you are. I was worried you'd be at the Healer's all day." Obi-Wan said with a smile.

"Master, I have a bad feeling. Something isn't quite right." Anakin said, in a serious voice.

Obi-Wan's smile faded. "Anakin, what do you mean? You fulfilled your prophecy."

Anakin sighed, absentmindedly scratching his bandages.

"Maybe I just feel guilty..." Anakin trailed off. "...that I let that monster manipulate me for so long."

"Well," Obi-Wan stated. "We shall put him on trial. You shouldn't worry about him anymore."

This is it, Anakin thought to himself. I have to tell him about Padme...

Anakin sighed, clasping his hands together. "Obi-Wan, I have to tell you something. Can we go to your quarters?"

"Of course, Anakin," Obi-Wan said, concerned. "What's wrong?"

Anakin shook his head. "Not here."

And so, they made their way to Obi-Wan's quarters.

"So this is your Master Suite." Anakin started, awkwardly.

Baby steps, Anakin. Baby steps.

"Yes, it's a lot bigger than the one we shared when you were my Padawan."

The conversation luled.

"Would you like some tea?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Do you still have the kind I like?"

Obi-Wan grimaced. "You mean the one that tastes like pure sweetness? Yes, I still do."

Anakin smirked despite his glum mood.

Obi-Wan returned a few minutes later with the tea.

"Anakin, tell me. What's wrong?"

Anakin sipped his tea, a blank look in his eyes.

"I did something wrong." was all Anakin stated.

"Anakin..." Obi-Wan gently prodded.

"Master...I-" Anakin stumbled on his words.

Obi-Wan nodded, encouragingly.

"Remember the Battle of Geonosis?" Anakin started.

"Yes," Obi-Wan responded, curiously.

Anakin sighed. "Just, tap into our bond. I ca- I can't-, You know I'm not good with words."

"Alright," Obi-Wan said, closing his eyes. "I see Senator Amidala, and, you..."

"...I see." Obi-Wan said.

"You kissed the Senator?" Obi-Wan asked, raising an eyebrow.

And more, Anakin mumbled in a shielded thought.

"Just..., dig deeper." Anakin said, shuffling his thoughts.

Anakin watched as Obi-Wan picked apart his thoughts, his frown deepening.

"So you married the Senator..., and now it appears she is expecting." Obi-Wan summarized.

"...Yes." Anakin replied.

"I see." Obi-Wan said, inexpressive.

"Are you going to report me to the council?" Anakin winced.

"No, Anakin, I'm not," Obi-Wan said, stroking his beard.

"Let me guess...," Anakin said. "I have to tell them?"

"Precisely." Obi-Wan said, taking a sip of his tea.

"I suppose I'll tell them at the council meeting in a few hours, then." Anakin said.

"Yes, I suppose you should."

"Are you mad at me?" Anakin asked, noting his cool demeanor.

"No, Anakin, I'm not upset. I'm...disappointed." Obi-Wan sighed.

"I understand," Anakin replied. "I swear, there were so many times I wanted to tell you, but I..." Anakin trailed off.

"It's alright Anakin, I just wish you trusted me." Obi-Wan said, slightly hurt.

"I'm sorry," Anakin replied.

The two sat in silence.

"I wanted to commence a brief emergency meeting." Mace Windu started.

"It is urgent we discuss tonight's events." He added.

"Upset, I am, the Jedi did not sense Palpatine. Deceived, we all were." Yoda sighed, shaking his head.

The rest of the Jedi nodded in agreement.

"It is a good thing we had Knight Skywalker, he defeated him." Plo Koon said, a slight nod in Anakin's direction.

"Knight Skywalker, tell us, did you sense anything wrong with The Chancellor?"

Anakin shook his head. "No."

The Masters began to discuss the evening's events, when Anakin suddenly interrupted.

"Masters, If I may," Anakin said, standing up and walking to the center of the room.

"Please Anakin, go on." Windu said, his newfound respect of Anakin showing.

"What I'm about to say may...shock you."

There were whispers and murmurs among the council, the only one silent was Obi-Wan, who smiled gently at Anakin, urging him to go on.

And so Anakin proceeded to tell his tale, about how he had married Padme and broke the code, gaining many disapproving looks from the Masters.

"Knight Skywalker, this is serious. You have broken our code; our way of life. What do you have to say for yourself?" Mace Windu asked harshly, his respect for Anakin all but gone.

Yoda held his hand out, effectively silencing everyone.

"Knight Skywalker, discuss this we will. Dismissed, you are." Yoda said, conveying no emotion.

Anakin bowed. "Yes, Master."

Then, he left.

"So, what are we to do?" Mace Windu sighed.

"Well," Started Kit Fisto. "I don't believe he is very trustworthy. I believe he should be expelled."

Shaak Ti shook her head. "I agree... however, Anakin should not be expelled. Perhaps, banned for a period of time."

Mace Windu sighed. "Yes, perhaps a probation could work."

Stass Allie disagreed. "I definitely think he should be expelled. He broke our code."

The council argued about Anakin's fate.

Mace Windu sighed, "Master Kenobi, what do you think?"

"You want know what I think?" Kenobi said, standing up.

"Stand down, Kenobi." Mace said in a warning tone.

Obi-Wan ignored him.

"You want to know what I think? I think Anakin doesn't deserve this. Anakin saved all of us from Palpatine, and now you have lost your respect for him because he's broken an ancient rule? Times are changing. It's time for the Jedi to change with them."

The Jedi were shocked.

Obi-Wan began to leave the room, but paused.

"If Anakin is expelled...then I'm leaving the Order."

And with that, Obi-Wan left.

Obi-Wan didn't really know where he was going.

He simply let the Force guide him, not really caring where he was going, simply letting his frustration and annoyance melt into the Force.

When he arrived to wherever he let his feet take him, he found himself outside Anakin's quarters.

He knocked on the door.

No answer.

He knew the Knight was in the room, he could feel the Force flowing around him just on the other side of the door.

He tapped on Anakin's mental shields.

Anakin, it's just me. Let me in, please.

He heard the door unlock, and Obi-Wan palmed open the door.

When Obi-Wan walked in, he found Anakin in the midst of packing a suitcase.

"So," Anakin said monotonously, "Am I expelled?"

"I don't know, I left the meeting," Obi-Wan said, somewhat embarrassed.

Anakin cocked an eyebrow. "Sounds like something Master Qui-Gon would do."

"Yes, I suppose," Obi-Wan replied. "Anyway, Anakin. I take it you'll be going away?"

"Padme and I, are... going away, for a little while."

"I see," Obi-Wan replied. "Will you be back for Sidious' trial?"

A range of emotions flickered on Anakin's face. "We'll see."

"Alright." Obi-Wan said.

The two sat in silence.

Anakin had finished packing his suitcase, ready to go.

They walked outside together, silently.

When Anakin reached the steps, it was time to say goodbye.

"Well, Anakin," Obi-Wan started (he was never good at goodbyes). "I guess this is farewell."

"I suppose." Anakin said. "Thank you, Master. For everything."

"May the Force be with you, Anakin." Obi-Wan said, shaking Anakin's hand.

"And with you," Anakin replied.

"Goodbye, Master."

"Goodbye, Anakin."

Alright, whooh. This chapter took a LOOONG time to write. R&R!
