Anakin loved Ahsoka with all his heart. He would never let anyone hurt her ever again. Minutes later, Rex burst through the door.

"You bitch!" Ahsoka woke up with a start. Rex's eyes went from angry to shcoked when he saw Anakin and Ahsoka together and became furious. "You're cheating on me?"

"Rex, leave her alone."

"Shut up! I dont' have to take orders from you anymore. I just got discharged because of this slut!"

"Rex, please just leave me alone." he grabbed her by her neck again and pulled her off of Anakin. He got up and used the Force to make him lose his grip on her neck. Ahsoka fell to the floor, gasping for air.

"Rex, just leave."

"Not until I'm finsihed with her pregnant ass." Ahsoka's eyes widened. "Yeah, I know. You think you could hide the fact that you're pregnant with my child? I would've figured it out eventually."

"More of a reason for you to leave. You are a threat to your own child, Rex."

"I have a right to be there for my kid."

"That can be rearranged." Anakin said.

"Are you threatening me?"

"If you don't leave, it'll be more than a threat."

"I'm not going anywhere without her."

"She's not going anywhere with you."

"Ahsoka, let's go." She shook her head no. "I said let's go!"

"Captain Rex," a voice said. Mace and Yoda were standing in the door way.

"A problem, is there?"

"No sir. I was just leaving." He walked past them, but stopped at the door and turned around to Ahsoka who was standing behind Anakin. "You better sleep with one eye opened tonight."

He left without another word. Ahsoka was really scared now. She fainted and Anakin caught her before she hit the floor.

"I'll take her to the Medical Wing." He picked her up in his arms.

"Alright. Report her progress and the baby's." Mace said.

"Yes, Master." He left the room and headed for the med wing. Mace and Yoda headed down the hall in the opposite direction.

"A threat on Ahsoka's life, there is."

"Yes. Rex seemed furious with her. He may try anything to get to her.

"Protected, she must be. With his child, twice the reason to come back, he does."

"Skywalker has an unusually strong attachment to her. As protective as he is, it may not be enough to keep her safe."

"Test your theory, we will. Protect her alone, he will. If unsucessful he is, more protection will be issued."

"I shall go to the Medical Wing and inform them."

Med Wing

Ahsoka was laying on the bed in the med wing. Anakin was at her side the whole time, never leaving. Ahsoka was still unconcious. Siri Tachi walked in.

"Hey, how is she?"

"She hasn't woken up yet, but she can har us. I've been talking to her to make sure she's still with us and she's responding physically."

"Well, may I speak to you in the hall for a moment?"

"Sure." They stepped out of the room and closed the door. Ahsoka woke up to find herself in the Med Wing. She sat up a little. She saw Siri and Anakin outside her room talking. She smiled seeing him. His face turned sad and Ahsoka became worried. He looked through the glass and saw her up. he flashed his infamous smile that she loved so much. She couldn't help but smile back. He exchanged a few more words with Siri and came back in the room.

"Hey, Snips. How you feeling?"

"Okay. I have a headache, but I'm fine."

"That's good to hear."

"What were you and Master Tachi talking about? You looked worried."

"It was nothing, Snips. Don't worry about it."

"Anakin." She said his name as if it was in a completely different language. She flashed her big blue eyes. She knew he couldn't resist them. That's how she got away with most things in the past. He sighed.

"Okay. You may or may not want to hear this but..." Mace walked into the room.

"I see you're awake, young one. How are you feeling?"

"Fine, Master."

"What did the medical droid say?"

"Medically, she's healthy. She fainted because she was in a state of shock. She needs to be on bedrest for a couple of days and she'll be fine."

"And what of the baby?"

"That's actually what I was telling Ahsoka about. The baby's gone."

"What?" Ahsoka held her stomach with tears welling up in her eyes.

"How?"

"Master Tachi said because of all the stress Ahsoka's been under, she's had high blood pressure. The pressure suffocated the egg." Mace looked over at Ahsoka.

"I see. I'm sorry for the loss of your child." He turned back to Anakin. "I need to speak with yo in private."

"Yes, Master." They both walked into the hall and closed the door. Ahsoka was still in shock. Her first child was dead before it was even born. This was all Rex's fault. She felt hatred towards him now. She laid there and cried over the loss of her unborn child. She blamed herself for lefting the abuse go on for that long. Anakin came back and saw Ahsoka crying. He sat on her bed and hugged her. She buried her head into his chest again and cried. He stroked her montrals gently trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, Ahsoka."

"Anakin, I know being pregnant at my age wasn't right and not having it would be for the better, but..."

"But you loved it and wanted to keep it."

"Yes. Is that wrong?"

"Of course not. It was your child, your baby. It's never wrong to love your child."

"My child shouldn't have exsisted in the first place. I'm such an idiot."

"Ahsoka, you are not an idiot. You are an intellegent, beautiful young woman. You're not the one to blame for your child's exsistance or it's death. Rex knew how fragile you were. He knew how you get when you're scared. He knew you wouldn't try to do anything. He was taking advantage of you. Don't blame yourself for anything that happened."

"But Anakin..." He put his finger on her lips. He moved his hand behind her back montral and brought her lips to his and kissed her deeply. She lifted herself so she was leveled with him.

"Come on. Let's go back to the room. It's getting late and you need to rest for the next couple of days."

"Okay." Anakin helped her off the bed and they walked back to her quarters. When they got there, Ahsoka changed into her bed clothes.

"Anakin, would you mind sleeping with me?"

"Uh, Ahsoka?"

"I meant stay with me for the night. Nothing sexual."

"Yeah, I'll stay with you."

"Thank you. Besides, I just lost a child. I'm not really in the mood for sex." They both laid on the next. Ahsoka put her head and hand on his chest. Anakin put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer into him. They kissed again.

"Goodnight, Ahsoka. I love you."

"I love you too, Anakin." She immediately fell asleep. Anakin smiled when he heard her say his name again. It started to become a regular thing. This was a sure sign that they were in love. He eventually feel asleep.
