Anakin waits for Ob-Wan outside of the Council's Chamber.
All of the Masters begin to leave and Anakin sees Obi-wan talking to Masters Yoda and Windu.
After what seems like an eternity to him, his Master walks out.
"Master what is going on?" Anakin asks.
"What do you mean Anakin?" Obi-Wan said with a smile.
"I broke the Code. Why am I not being kicked out?
"Because young one, I brought up a few good points on the benefits of a Jedi having attachments."
"Really?"
"You did not think that I would let them throw you out without a fight did you?"
"I did not even think about that. I am sorry Master. I should have had more faith in you."
"Think nothing of it. I do believe that your stubborn and controversial side is rubbing off on me." Obi-Wan said with a laugh. "Come on let's go to Dex's. Lunch is on me."
"Sounds good because I have more to tell you."
"Do I really want to know?"
"Padme is pregnant."
"You are kidding me?"
"No I found out just last night." "It is one of the reasons I decided to resign"
"Well, that is great news. I am happy for you Anakin."
"Thank you." Anakin says with a smile. "But I do have one more thing to tell you."
"Force knows what that will be." "Are you trying to give your old Master a heart attack?" Obi-Wan laughs.
"Well then I would not have to listen to you complain about my flying." Anakin says returning the laughter. "I would like you to be the child's Godfather."
"Anakin I would be honored."
Once the make their way to Dex's Anakin tell Obi-Wan about his dreams of Padme.
"Anakin, all I ask is that you don't do anything crazy. Let me help you. Together we will insure nothing happens to her."
"Thank you Master"
Darth Sidious is not happy. With Anakin not killing Dooku in cold blood his plan to turn him is proving difficult. Even the dreams he was forcing Anakin to see are not having the effect he desired. The Naboo Senator is now constantly protected. The Jedi have changed their Code to allow marriage and even children. It seems that the young Jedi as told the Jedi Council of the dreams and they are taking them seriously. They have also started taking on older children to be trained as Jedi.
"Time for a back-up plan." The Sith Lord said to himself.
Without an apprentice he dares not in act Order 66. He will need a strong ally to help dispose of the Jedi. The clones will not be enough. A good apprentice is worth a thousand clones.
"I will have to be patient. The time will come when it is right to strike." The Dark Lord thinks.
"If I can not turn Skywalker, then I shall create my own apprentice." He says to no one.
His Master Darth Plagueis taught him how to manipulate the Midi-Chlorians to create life. This is not the way he would like to head but does seem the most promising. If he succeeds then he may have the perfect apprentice.
He chooses a woman that no one will miss once he is done with her. After consulting the Holocron that his Master had made of how to manipulate Midi-Chlorians he then proceeds to create a child. After days of constant meditation and emersing himself in the Dark Side, Darth Sidious can feel the life of his future apprentice begin. One month after he has completed all that he has learned, his secret doctors inform him that the woman is indeed with child.
After a few months the woman begins to show. After 6 months Sidious can only barely feel any of the Force from the child. He waits till the 8th month but still does not feel any significant Force presence in the child. He decides it was a failure and sends the woman away (she and the child are not even worth his energy to kill).
The woman is found later and taken to a hospital and gives birth. She dies in childbirth without naming the child. The hospital workers do not even know her name. Will no idea what to call him one of the nurses names him Lorzin. After he is checked out and deemed healthy enough he is turned over to an orphanage.
Darth Sidious begins a new search for an apprentice, but still has hopes of somehow turning Anakin Skywalker.
A/N: This is where we really go into the AU. The next part of the story will be 6 years down the road. The Clone Wars end with the death of General Grievous. Order 66 has not been giving but is still part of the clone's programming.
