They hadn't focused on the couple for a long time. In part to grant them privacy, but more because their focus was on more difficult matters.
But that unsteady moment in the Force sent a ripple. It made them glance and look closer to see what was happening. The holo images disturbed the two of them almost as much as it disturbed the offspring who now watched it for the first time.
One reached down with his patience and love and touched Kess on her sleeping head.
Noting the gesture, the other did the same to his own. The couple was at relative peace only because they were wrapped around each other in support, even in sleep.
"They're going to be okay," one assured. "She takes good care of him."
"And he takes good care of her."
"They have questions."
"Of course they do." A gentle smile, "But we cannot give them any answers. We can only point them in the right direction."

"I wish you wouldn't."
"Why not?"
"Because this is theirs to figure out, Anakin. And for what little experience you have in it, forgive me for saying so, it did not end well."
The other considered that with humility.
"Come. Help me with Nikolai." The voice faded. "He is your path to further absolution."
