Hello everyone! This story is a sequel to my first fanfic, Old Friend. I recommend reading it first if you haven't already. Most of this story will be fluffy and romantic with little drama but I hope you all can give it a chance anyway! I will be posting updates/new chapters on Fridays. Please read, review and let me know your thoughts! Enjoy!

Home:

Anakin watched as the light slowly begin to dim in the sky above. He'd been working out in the garage, that was positioned behind their home, for the last couple hours. This was where he kept all the small projects he'd tinker with, items that he'd come across since settling on this planet.

But recently Anakin had a new project, a surprise for the woman he loved. Carefully he worked to build a small crib for the child she carried, wanting to make sure it was perfect before showing it to her.

From the hunger he felt, along with the late hour, Anakin decided to put the work on hold for the time being. Moving the piece back into the corner of the room before covering it with a trap to keep it hidden.

As he locked up the garage, Anakin was soon drawn to the house by the wonderful aroma emanating from what he assumed was their dinner. Walking through the yard, he thought back over the last few weeks. It had been a full month since they arrived at their new home on Shili.

After leaving Coruscant, the pair traveled to the capital, Corvala, before boarding a shuttle to bring them to the outskirts of a small town prominently ran by traders. The house resided far enough from the town where they could have privacy but close enough so that they'd be able to walk to and from within an hour.

Anakin hoped he did the right thing by choosing this location. He hated not telling his partner of his plans originally but wanted to surprise her. He was happy to find she loved their new home and all the features.

When you entered the home you were met with a large common room with tall ceilings, much different than the cramped apartment they'd shared over the last few months. There was a kitchen along the back wall while a staircase flanked the right side of the room, this led to an upstairs bedroom. Below the staircase, closer to the kitchen, a hallway held a refresher and another bedroom.

The house came with simple furniture, enough for a good start but since this was their first place together, the couple spent the next few weeks making small adjustments so that it could truly be their home. Both were very pleased with the outcome.

They took the room downstairs for themselves, leaving the upstairs for their child once they were old enough. The baby's room was the only part of the house that hadn't been touched since they arrived. Knowing it was still early they decided to wait until farther along in the pregnancy.

Anakin however was already excited about the incoming arrival of their first born, which is why he'd recently spend his spare time working on the crib. He couldn't wait to complete the project and show it to the mother of his child.

His thoughts then switched to her... Ahsoka.

Anakin had come to learn that he had… almost… everything he'd ever wanted. He'd been trying to muster up the courage to ask her to marry him. He wanted to make it official, to call her his wife. He knew chances were high that she'd agree but his irrational fears got the best of him. What if she said no? What if she didn't want to make the full commitment?

As Anakin made his way inside, he found Ahsoka sitting on the couch in the common room. She held a book in one hand, the other covered the small bump forming on her abdomen. She was softly humming to herself, unaware of Anakin's presence.

He was taken aback by how beautiful she looked in that moment, and all those fears in his mind disappeared. Anakin thought about how lucky he was to have this second chance at life, one they had begun to build together.

"Hey." Anakin's voice was soft, not wanting to startle the young woman.

She looked up from her book and smiled as Anakin made his way towards her. "Hi." Ahsoka set the book beside her on the table before moving her legs off the couch to make room for him. "I was about to come find you, dinner should be ready."

"Yeah, sorry, I got a bit sidetracked. But I am yours for the rest of the night." Anakin said with a smile, but it soon faded once he got a whiff of himself. "Well, after I shower." He laughed.

Ahsoka giggled. "Take your time, we'll be here." Anakin soon disappeared down the hall and into the refresher by their room.

Ahsoka stood from the couch, placing her book back on the nearby shelf before making her way to the kitchen. She brought down two bowls and utensils from the cabinet, placing them down on the counter.

She'd made a stew from local produce she found at the market earlier that day. Ahsoka knew she wasn't as good a cook as Anakin but was learning more every day.

By the time Anakin emerged from the refresher, Ahsoka was serving up the stew and bringing it to the table that was set beside the kitchen. The couple then joined together to enjoy the meal while making idle conversation.

Once the stew the gone and the bowls empty, Ahsoka moved to collect the dishes but was stopped by Anakin.

"Hey, I'll clean up, you just relax." He said with a smile.

Ahsoka stood and followed Anakin into the kitchen, leaning against the counter beside him. "You know I thought we agreed even though I'm pregnant I'm not fragile." She retorted, raising an eye marking.

"I know but you made dinner, so I thought it was only fair that I clean up." Anakin moved towards her, taking her into his arms. "Plus, I like being able to take care of you... both of you." He reached between them, placing a hand on her stomach.

"You always know how to sweet talk." She said as a small smile formed on her lips.

"It's one of my strengths." Anakin laughed, reluctantly letting her go so he could finish the dishes.

After releasing her and knowing he wouldn't let her help, Ahsoka made her way to the couch, grabbing her book off the shelf.

Once everything had been put away and the kitchen cleaned, Anakin joined Ahsoka on the couch. It was getting late and he could see she was fading fast.

Knowing it was as good a time as any to ask his burning question, Anakin took a breath.

"Ahsoka?" His words were unusually quiet.

She looked up from her book, noting his nervous expression. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing! I just..." His words trailed off and Anakin immediately regretted his decision to bring this topic up.

She placed her book on the table in front of her before fully facing Anakin.

'It's too late to go back' he thought. Anakin moved closer, taking her hands in his before speaking.

"Ahsoka, you have made me happier these last few months than I would have ever dreamed possible. You are carrying my child... a child I never thought would be possible in this life. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much." He paused before dropping to a knee beside her. "So, I want to ask... will you marry me?"

Ahsoka was speechless, she'd never expected that question to leave his lips. Was this real? Maybe it was a dream... a dream she didn't want to wake from.

A smile broke out across her face and she slowly nodded. "Yes."

Anakin stood, placing both hands on either side of her face before pulling her into a deep kiss, only breaking away for air.

"I love so much." Anakin said after a few passionate minutes.

"I love you too." Ahsoka replied breathlessly.

-•-•-•-

"If were getting married, I hope we can do so before the baby comes." Ahsoka said as they got ready for bed later that night after the earlier excitement began to subside.

Anakin nodded. He would have agreed to anything she'd said, he was still over the moon that she even accepted his proposal.

"Maybe something small." Ahsoka continued.

"Sounds perfect." Anakin added with a smile. "Next time we head into town I'll find a minister or officiant who can perform the ceremony."

Ahsoka nodded as she climbed into the bed. "I know we don't have many friends but there is someone I hope we can invite."

Anakin laid down beside her. "Who?"

"Obi-Wan." She replied.

"I think that's a great idea." Anakin leaned in, placing a kiss on her lips. "We can work out the details in the morning."

"Now I think that's a great idea." She softly giggled. "Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too."

The couple fell asleep in each other's embrace, knowing everything was falling perfectly into place.
