I'm sorry I couldn't post this chapter up sooner. I've just been busy is all, but I made a promise that I wouldn't abandon my stories. I just like finishing things I started. Again, sorry it took so long.

Disclaimer: Star Wars the Clone Wars doesn't belong to me and if it did there would be some changes. I think you guys know what I mean. :)

BTW: Ahsoka is wearing her second outfit, the one that mostly covers her.

PART THREE

Ahsoka's POV

I squealed in happiness as my father threw me in the air and caught me when I came down.

"Tey, be careful." I heard my mother scold my father playfully.

Father threw me up in the air again but this time when he caught me he didn't let me go. I pouted and he laughed along with Mother. He walked back to where my mother stood, in front of our hut and when they kissed, I made a disgusted face.

"Ewww."

Mother and Father separated and smiled in amusement at me.

"Oh, little Soka, one day you won't think kissing is gross. You will find a boy you will like and…"

Mother was cut off by father who had a slight angry face.

"And he would have to go through me to be able to date you." father continued.

"Don't worry, dad. I won't ever date a boy you don't approve of."

I smiled showing my missing left tooth.

Father laughed. "That's my girl."

"Come on, dinners ready." Mother informed motioning us inside.

Before father and I could walk in we head an horn blow not far.

"Ahhh." I yelled when father suddenly gave me to mother.

"Quickly, hide." he yelled at mother.

I started crying. He never yelled at mother. Mother nodded and ran inside carrying me to my room. She opened a small square door in the wall and pushed me inside. I was confused since only one person could fit.

"Mom, what's happening? Where did dad go? What was that sound?"

Mother began crying and putting a finger to her lips silently telling me to be quiet. She stroked my small headtails.

"Listen, Ahsoka, I need to go help your father. Okay?" she whispered soothingly despite her tears.

"Why?" I continued crying but quieter this time.

"Everything will be okay. We just want to play hide and seek. So, I need you to be quiet and not let your father or anybody find you."

"There's going to be other people playing." I asked.

Mother nodded and she seemed to cry harder. "Yeah, but you have to promise me that you won't ever let them find you. Okay?"

I nodded. "Okay, mommy."

"Good. Goodbye, my little Soka."

I frowned a bit but before I could ask why it sounded like I would never see her again, there were crashing sounds downstairs.

Mother quickly closed the door and stood up.

I noticed a small hole on the door and peered through. I saw my room and mother running out the door. My eyes widened when I saw her get pushed back inside by two men. They looked like pirates. I saw father also be pushed in. I started crying even more when I saw the cuts and bruises but I promised mother that I wouldn't let them find me.

The pirates kicked father and mother screamed. I covered my ears. I didn't want to hear the screams. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I wished I hadn't.

I screamed when the pirates stabbed my father and mother . The pirates looked around and one pointed at my hiding spot. Another pirate started walking towards me and opened my door. I tried getting as far away as I could but the place was too small.

The pirate grabbed me and dragged me out. I kicked and screamed.

"What do we do with her?" the pirate that grabbed me asked the one that pointed at me.

The pirate looked me up and down. "We take her with us."

I kicked my captor in the face and he let me go. I ran towards mother and father and hugged them. They weren't moving. I pulled back to see them with their eyes closed.

"Dad!" I screamed shaking him but he didn't wake up. I did the same to mother who laid next to him. "Mom!"

"Take her." I heard someone say but I didn't know who.

Someone grabbed me from behind but I held on to father and mother. It wasn't enough.

"No mommy, daddy!" I screamed crying struggling to get away from the horrible pirates.

The last thing I saw were the dead bodies of my parents as they lay in their own blood. The blood that was now on me.

I screamed as I sat up in my bed. I looked around frantically forgetting where I was. I saw the familiar walls of my quarters in the temple.

A hand on my shoulder made me scream again.

"Shhh. Ahsoka, its me. Anakin." the soothing voice said.

I turned to see Anakin sitting next me on my bed and I threw my arms around him, crying.

"Its okay, Ahsoka. It was just a nightmare. It wasn't real." Anakin comforted me.

I shook my head. "Nmph." came the muffled reply.

Anakin lightly pushed me back placing both of his hands on my face so he could tilt my head up to look at him.

"No." I whispered. "It wasn't a nightmare. It was a memory."

Anakin's blue eyes softened. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Through the force, I felt his curiosity and his sadness that I had to feel the pain again.

"It was the day my parents died."

"Ahsoka, you don't have to talk about it if you really don't want to."

I looked at Anakin's caring blue eyes and knew I could trust him with anything.

It had been three years since he had taken me as his Padawan when I was fourteen. Time and time again, he had proved that I could trust him. He had told me about his past already and I did too except the day my parents had died. Although he never pushed me to tell him, I could always sense his curiosity. I never told him because I wasn't ready to talk about them, to remember their deaths but looking at Anakin now, I knew I would never feel at peace with my parent's death if I kept it in.

So, I told him everything. Tears continued to stream down my face as I did and Anakin tried to wipe them all away.

"Ahsoka, I'm sorry you had to go through that." Anakin said after I finished. "But you have me and the other Jedi. We are your family now."

My tears slowed down and I looked up at Anakin's face. The face of the man I learned to trust and love. A year ago, I had fallen in love with him, but I knew that I loved him the day he took me as his Padawan.

"Promise?" my voice broke.

Anakin smiled. "I promise."

"Why?" I yelled annoyed at Anakin.

"Because it's too dangerous."

I sighed deeply. I turned my back to him and walked away intending to cool off.

"Hey! Don't walk away from me." I heard Anakin run up.

I let him grab my shoulders and pull me around. I saw Master Luminara and her Padawan Barriss watching the exchange. Master Luminara looked amused while Barriss looked confused. Probably because she expected all Padawans to listen to their Masters but that relationship certainly didn't apply to me and Anakin.

"Ahsoka, it's just too dangerous and…" I cut him off.

"And you don't trust me." I stated looking down.

"Ahsoka, no, I do trust you. I just care about you and…"

"Then let me go. If you trust me, then let me go. I can do this."

Anakin looked at me for a moment and I looked back defiantly. He sighed in defeat and nodded.

"You won't regret it Master." I yelled back at him as I ran towards Barriss.

"Ahsoka." Barriss whispered sadly.

I looked at her mirroring her sadness. "I guess this is the only way to destroy the factory."

"We will be saving thousands of people doing this."

I nodded and raised my comm to my face.

"Anakin."

"Ahsoka, what's going on? The factory's going to blow up any minute."

"I'm sorry, Anakin, but we won't be able to make it out." I replied sadly.

"Wait! Ahsoka!"

I looked at Barriss one last time and when she nodded I clicked the fire button. The last thing I felt was being blown back and pain. I woke up feeling as if I couldn't breath.

"Nice to see you awake, Ahsoka." Barriss's familiar voice whispered.

I looked at where we were. We were buried, how far down I didn't want to know.

"Hand me that power cell, would you?" I asked Barriss.

She handed me the power cell.

"Mind holding the light?"

She grabbed the light saber when I handed it to her.

"At least we saved thousands of people."

I smiled at her and whispered, "Well, I'm about to save two more."

I relayed a signal to Anakin. "Anakin, I know you're looking for me."

"You care for your master a lot don't you?"

"More than you know."

My hand grew weak and I dropped it still holding the power cell. As I closed my eyes, I saw Barriss put away our light sabers. Fresh air flowing in brought me back to my senses. I coughed sitting up. I turned to Barriss, but I didn't see her moving.

"Barriss, Barriss, wake up. Come on." I shook her. I may have know her for a short while but she became a good friend.

I sighed in relief when she started coughing. I pulled her arm up and over my shoulder and began half carrying her out. When we made it out, I looked up to see Anakin and Master Luminara.

They both instantly came to help. Master Luminara took her Padawan and they shared a moment. I turned towards Anakin to see him glaring at me with his arms crossed.

"Master, I…" Everything else was muffled.

Anakin had grabbed me pulling me into a hug. I felt his face pressing onto my headtails making me shiver when he spoke again.

"Don't ever, ever make me worry like that again."

"I'll try."

He didn't argue. He knew the life we lived and that that was the best reassurance he would get.

I sighed happily as we returned back to the temple and into our quarters.

"Mmmm." I moaned feeling the my comfortable bed and I laid back down on it.

The dip on the right side of my bed brought me back and I turned to see Anakin sitting there. I sat up and we sat next to each other on my bed. I knew what was going to happen next.

"Skyguy, look I know you want to yell at me but…"

"Stop. It's not that. I need to tell you something."

I frowned a bit. He sounded so nervous and when I looked closely at his face, his eyes had some fear. I turned fully towards him and placed my hands over his which were on his lap.

"Anakin, what is it? You can tell me anything."

He nodded shakily and sighed looking me in the eyes. I saw something in his eyes, but I couldn't tell what. Even though, I couldn't tell, I started to feel all the love I had for him building up inside me.

"Ahsoka, I've known you for three years and those years have been the best. You make me happy and I care about you a lot."

"I care about you too."

Anakin rested his palm on my cheek and slid his thumb over my lips effectively silencing me.

"Let me finish, will you, Snips."

I nodded shivering at his touch.

"I care about you more than I have about anybody. It's because, Ahsoka, I love you."

I froze. My eyes widened and tears welled up. What was with me and crying today?

"I-I don't know what to say." I whispered lowering my eyes.

Through the force, I felt Anakin sadden.

"You're scared." So, he sensed it. "Of me."

My eyes snapped up. "No. That's not it, it's just my entire life has been filled with pain."

"I swear that I would never hurt you. Haven't I proven to you that you can trust me?"

"You have." I reassured slowly. I moved closer to him. "And, Anakin, I love you too."

We both felt the happiness radiating off of us through the force.

Anakin slid his left arm around my waist pulling me closer. I slid both my arms around his neck pulling him even closer. His right hand that was still resting against my cheek moved slowly so he now rested it on my back headtail. He leaned down slowly and I helped him by leaning up. Our lips met and we kissed lightly at first but we started letting our love show. I sat up on my knees giving me some leverage so now he had to tilt his head up to kiss me. His right hand moved from my headtail down my back and rested on my waist. He lightly began pushing me down until I lay on my bed with him hovering over me. Anakin slid his lips down to my neck. My breathing increased and I moaned.

"Anakin, stop." I managed to moan out.

He pulled back, kissed me one last time, and sat up. Before I could explain why, he spoke first.

"I know, don't worry."

I felt he was telling the truth through the force.

"I guess we should go to bed now." Anakin moved to get up but I grabbed his hand pulling him back down.

Déjà vu moment.

"Don't. Stay, please."

"Always."

I moved over giving him space. Anakin laid down next to me and I wasted no time in placing my head on his chest and resting my left hand on his chest. He, in turn, wrapped his arms around me.

"I love you, Anakin."

"I love you too, Ahsoka."

We both drifted off into peaceful sleep.

8 years later

I looked at my daughter as we waited for her father. She looked a lot like him with her brown hair and blue eyes. The only thing that she inherited from me was her skin color and face markings. She had a beautiful light orange color and her markings were like mine but with her own uniqueness. Instead of a triangle on her forehead like me it was a circle and on both sides of the circle were solid ovals. She had no cheek markings like me and if she wanted, she could cover her markings and pass of as a full human but her father didn't like that. Her father didn't want their daughter having her face markings being covered.

I smiled thinking about my husband. I smiled even wider when I heard the front door opening.

"Ahsoka, Luna, I'm home." announced the man I loved with all her heart.

"Daddy." their five year old daughter yelled running up to Anakin who opened his arms.

They talked for a few minutes when Luna suddenly wanted crackers so Anakin let her down.

"Hey." I whispered happily to him as he made his way over to stand in front of me.

"How is my beautiful wife?"

I laughed and kissed him with all my love. I loved him and our new home on Naboo. Padme visited us sometimes to babysit Luna and Luna took a liking to her godmother. What more could I ever ask for? The war ended eight years ago, a few months after Anakin and I had gotten together.

"Woah." Anakin breathed surprised pulling back.

I laughed lightly. "You felt it to?"

Anakin nodded placing his hand on my bulging stomach.

"Our baby." he whispered looking at me lovingly.

"Our baby." I whispered back.

Anakin kissed me.

"Ewwww." a voice squealed.

Anakin and I pulled back to see Luna covering her eyes. Anakin laughed.

"Come here, Lu."

Luna removed her hands covering her eyes and jumped into his arms.

"Are you happy with a new sibling on the way?" Anakin asked our daughter.

Luna nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, so I can play with her."

"Who says it will be a girl?" Anakin raised an eyebrow.

"I do, obviously." Luna stubbornly said.

"Hey, don't get snippy with me."

I laughed remembering him telling me that time and time again. Luna joined in and soon after so did Anakin.

What more could I ask for? I loved my life and it was all thanks to Anakin.

So this is the end. I won't be adding anymore since I'm happy with this ending and if I were to continue it then I would never stop adding. It would become a never ending story. :)

Review if you have the time. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
