Chapter 3

Satine POV

Ugh. My head hurts. I sit up and realize I have NO idea where I am. I start to panic. What if deathwatch got me when I was unconscious?

Then I cleared my head and realized I was in the infirmary at the palace. Phew, that was a close one. I look over and see Obi-wan passed out in a chair. I almost laughed. He was so cute. He was far different when he was with me than when he was off being "The Negotiator". He was so sweet when we were alone, always making sure I don't do anything. He literally CARRIES me to bed at night.

I stood up and walked over to where he slept. I knelt beside him, ignoring the burning sensation in my stomach, and ran my fingers through his hair. He moaned in his sleep.

"Siri….."

SIRI?

My entire body clenched. He was still seeing HER? After he married me? I whimpered and slid down to the floor. My head hit the wall with a soft thump, and Obi-wan woke up.

"Satine?"

"What?" my voice was hard. I didn't care anymore.

"You're awake."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious."

"You're welcome, Lieutenant Sarcastic."

I smiled for a minute, and then remembered why I was upset. My face fell. He felt it. Oh crap. Here comes the bloody inquisition.

"What's wrong?"

"You're still screwing Siri, that's what's bloody wrong!"

"No, no I'm not. Why would you think that?"

"You moaned her name in your sleep."

"Oh. Satine, you know that doesn't mean anything."

"Oh yes it does."

"How?"

"Because you were dreaming about her and not me, that's how! How long has this been going on? Since you first slept with her? How long ago was that? Right after you left me the first time?"

I started crying so hard, I didn't even hear him slide off of his seat to sit beside me. He wrapped a warm arm around me and I didn't even realize how cold I was until he did. I shivered.

"Satine, you're cold. Come on, back to bed before you get sick again."

I tried to stand up, but before I could, he picked me up and carried me to bed. As he tucked me in, I started to fall asleep. He crawled into bed beside me. It felt nice to not have to sleep alone for the first time in a month, but something was bothering me.

"Obi?"

"Hmm?" he sounded tired.

"You aren't sleeping with her, are you?"

"No, of course not."

"Ok." I sighed happily.

"Satine?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

I smiled sleepily. "I love you too."

"Mmmmm." He moaned.

"What?"

"You know…."

"WHAT?"

"We still didn't do that 'thing' we were going to do before your nephew interrupted us."

"What are you talking about…..oh."

He chuckled. "Get over here, my dirty little duchess."

I giggled. "Yes, master."

Korkie POV

Ugh. That's so disgusting. Do they have to do IT next to my room? I can him swearing and her saying dirty things.. I can ALSO hear their bed groaning under the combined weight and motion. EW. If they don't stop doing it, I'm gonna have a little cousin soon.

A cousin.

Oh crap.

If they have a kid, what's gonna happen to me? It's obvious that if my aunt has a kid, she's gonna love it more than me. But wait…Kenobi doesn't want a kid. He said so. But my aunt does, and he won't say no to her, or rather he can't, so she's gonna have her way. Crap.

They sound like they're done. But something's wrong here.

"Obi-wan?"

"Hmm?"

"We're not done yet."

"Yes we are."

"Ummm no. we aren't."

"Why not."

"You didn't….you know….finish."

EW!

"That's because I'm not going to."

"What? Why not!"

"Because we don't need this right now. You already have a child to take care of."

"That's not it. You're having a child with Siri, aren't you?"

"No. I've already told you. I'm NOT sleeping with her."

"Then WHY?"

"I'm just worried, alright? Now go to sleep."

"FINE."

I heard the sound of shuffling, and clothes being put back on. Again…gross mental picture.

"Where are you going?"

"To bed."

"Where?"

"MY room."

"I take it I'm sleeping here then?"

"Well…."

"What?"

"If you do that thing I want, you can sleep in my bed."

"No means no, Satine."

"Fine. Have fun with Siri then."

"Satine….."

I heard the door open and shut. My aunt had obviously left the room. Thanks to the thin walls, I heard Obi-wan mumbling to himself.

"Blast that woman…..she knows I can't sleep without her when I'm here….going to have to apologize….child…Siri…disgusting…..as if I would ever even consider having a child with her…..ugh!"

I heard him leave the room and storm down the hall. I contemplated going out there and telling him to stand strong, but decided I didn't want to die.

Finally….alone at last.

I fell asleep.
