POV: Ahsoka Tano

We've been on Mandalore for a week and a half. Anakin and I have become even closer than before and I can believe him when he says he can't hate me. He definitely loves me and he continues to show it. Just the other day, he took me out to watch the sunset and we laid in the grass for a few hours after that just to talk.

I woke up this morning to see that there was an empty space beside me. I got up off of the bed and dressed myself. Satine was generous enough to lend me some clothing I could borrow for a while. Obi-Wan said that I could keep them if I wanted to, but I was going to return them. They were her maternity clothing that she's only worn a few times during her pregnancy. She's had no use for them as of recently though.

I left the room and went downstairs. Nobody was anywhere to be found, not even a bodyguard of Satine's. "Anakin?" I whispered. "Where are you?"

I continued to walk around the hallways, finding nothing and more nothing. Where was everyone? I walked into Airi's room to see if she was all right. She wasn't even in there. I was now beginning to worry. Anakin, Satine, Obi-Wan, and Airi were all missing. Had someone captured them all? Wait, how am I still here then?

Everything was slightly dark, even though it was morning. None of the lights were turned on. I pushed a door open, listening to the creak, and expected to find nothing. Well, I was certainly wrong. As soon as I pushed the door open, the lights flew on and the missing friends I'd been searching for all yelled in unison, "Happy Birthday, Ahsoka!"

I jumped when I heard them all. This was the last thing I expected Anakin to do. I didn't even think he was capable of doing this. The baby kicked in surprise, too. There were balloons and decorations all over the room. I looked at my friends and saw large smiles on all of their faces. Anakin walked over to me and kissed my forehead. I pulled him closer to me, not wanting him out of my sight again. He and I were going to have a very, very long conversation later. "Happy Birthday," he whispered.

I laughed and leaned against his chest. "You, my love, are in so much trouble."

I felt him stiffen, but then he relaxed and began to chuckle. "Do what you will."

Obi-Wan interrupted us. "Come on, Ahsoka. You have presents awaiting your arrival."

I laughed and so did Anakin. We both separated and walked hand in hand to the table full of presents. I was unsure of which one to open. There were several small ones that I could only assume came from Anakin. I began with the biggest one, seeing the way Satine's eyes lit up. What came out of it was a large case of Mandalorian perfumes. I had no idea that there were various kinds of perfume on this planet. "Thank you, Satine," I laughed. She smiled and nodded, staying with Obi-Wan. They looked adorable, his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

I opened one of the smaller boxes from Anakin, who was now standing in the doorway, leaning against the side. I looked up at him and he smiled widely. Inside of the box was a necklace with two hearts crossing each other.

I turned to thank him but he shook his head and nodded toward the remainder of the presents. He probably wanted me to wait until the end before I thanked him, meaning there was more that he had to torture me with. I opened every last present there was within ten minutes. I received plenty of jewelry and clothing from both Obi-Wan and Anakin. "Thank you all, for everything. You have no idea how amazing you all are."

Satine and Obi-Wan smiled and hugged me. Anakin was the last to hug me. He kissed my cheek and whispered, "I love you."

I laughed and hugged him tighter. "Thank you for everything, Anakin. As much as I didn't want this to happen, I kind of appreciate it now. You love me so much that you'd buy all these gifts and have Obi-Wan and Satine crowd around me."

"I told them that they didn't have to buy you much. I knew that you'd be upset with me for having a bit of a party for you, so I went crazy when I was shopping."

I laughed. "All the credits in the world to spare."

"Definitely," he whispered. He turned back to Obi-Wan and Satine. "Now, who wants some dessert?"

We all laughed and eventually joined together in Satine's dining hall for plenty of the Mandalorian desserts that she had lying around to offer. Obi-Wan and Anakin looked very, very suspicious today. It's almost like they've got something planned and are secretly discussing it with the looks they give each other. Great, now Anakin is going to kill me. Even better, Obi-Wan is helping him.

We chatted about many different things while eating. It was really relaxing, until the baby kicked extremely hard. I even gasped out loud. I looked down at my stomach. Everything was fine.

I felt Anakin's hands on me, assuming that I was probably about to go into labor. I looked up at him and smiled, "I'm okay, Anakin." I looked at the other two who were now standing very nearby. They had been worried, too. Airi started to cry from her room. Satine smiled and left the room to go get her. Anakin looked worried and felt very tense. I looked up at him again, "Anakin, I'm all right. Are you?"

He shook his head and blinked. "Sorry, I'm good."

What was that all about? Obi-Wan's face was now full of concern for us both. "Obi-Wan, I'm all right. You both seem like you're hiding something. I want to know what it is."

Anakin laughed. "Oh, you'll know soon enough." I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest, attempting to get him to tell me now. He laughed and shook his head again. "Be patient, Ahsoka."

Now it was Obi-Wan's turn to laugh. I had a feeling he might if Anakin ever used that phrase in front of him. As it turns out, I was right.

Hours passed by and the sun went down, allowing the moon and its children to arise.

We were all sitting in the large living room in silence while Satine fed Airi. I kept watching Anakin and Obi-Wan to see what they were doing, but they were doing absolutely nothing. They were watching me as intensely as I was watching them.

None of us realized that Satine had left the room and come back empty-handed. Her laugh broke the silence and caused all but Anakin to jump. "You three look rather hilarious. Obi-Wan and Anakin staring at you, you back at them."

"I'm watching every move they make." Satine laughed again and I knew this was going to happen sooner or later... Anakin and Obi-Wan slowly rose from their seats and began to slowly walk around the room, doing some weird movements in the process. "Men..." I sighed. Satine laughed and nodded.

"You have to admit though. We can't live without them. They definitely brighten our day."

I nodded. "I completely agree with you."

They continued their slow walking pace for a few minutes until I laughed and told them both to relax. Anakin came over to me and kissed my forehead. He looked back at Obi-Wan, who nodded. Uh oh, here comes the torturous act I've been waiting for all night... "Ahsoka, there's something I've been meaning to do." I looked up at him, clearly confused. I remained silent, allowing him to continue. "Ever since we've been together, I've tried to make you the happiest life form alive. Yeah, sure, we have our ups and downs, but what relationship doesn't? Every night that we've spent together was amazing in its own way, whether I got to lay beside you and watch you sleep or I got to kiss you passionately to show my love for you. There are so many things that I still want to do for you and that we'll have to come closer for. You are my beautiful angel, Ahsoka. I never want to lose you or our child. A moment without each other could kill us both. I love you with all of my heart and will even after I'm gone." He pulled me to my feet carefully and I looked up at him, still confused. Slowly, he knelt down onto the floor and looked up at me. He produced a small black box in his hand and opened it. "Ahsoka Tano, will you marry me?"

I felt myself tearing up, even more due to hormones, and I couldn't help the big smile that was now plastered on my face. There was no second thought about it. "Yes! Yes, Anakin! Yes!"

His smile was the most magical thing in the universe. I absolutely loved the happiness he was showing right now. He pulled me in for a tight hug and kissed me. He pulled back and slipped the silver ring with a diamond heart onto my finger and smiled again. "Thank you, Ahsoka. I love you so much." He kissed me again and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was great until I felt something wet drip down my leg. I realized that my water had just broken. I gasped. "Ahsoka? What's wrong?"

"Ani, my water just broke."

His eyes widened and he picked me up, bridal style, carrying me out into his speeder. Obi-Wan ran out behind us, leaving Satine with Airi. He jumped into his own speeder and Anakin was getting me situated. I could feel the contractions and they were beginning to become really painful. "Ahsoka, relax. We're almost to the medical station. Just hang in there, all right?"

His voice was shaky, but his focus was clear. We arrived at the medical station and he picked me up, carrying me into the emergency area. I felt the baby kicking and the contractions were intense. I cried out as Anakin had to place me on a stretcher that began to move quickly.

POV: Anakin Skywalker

I felt so nervous about the baby coming right now, but my heart broke into several small pieces when I heard the pain she was in. All of this happened because of me, not that I regret impregnating her, but I didn't want her to go through this right now.

I was in the waiting room trying to regain myself. Obi-Wan ran in and put a hand on my shoulder. "Anakin, are you okay?"

I shook my head and placed it in my hands. I could hear her inside of the room. She yelled, "Where's Anakin?"

My head lifted and I looked at Obi-Wan. "Get in there," he laughed.

I got up and ran into the room. I went right beside her and held her hand. "I'm here, Ahsoka. I'm here."

She smiled at me for a brief moment. I could see that her contractions were getting slightly closer to each other. This meant that our son or daughter was getting ready right this moment to arrive.

A few hours passed and the baby still wasn't here. Ahsoka was still in labor, but the medical droids were waiting for her contractions to be extremely close. "Anakin, I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"I saw how wrecked you were earlier. I'm sorry that I put you through that."

I laughed nervously. "This is our first child. I didn't think that you would be in that much pain and I'm extremely nervous."

"Hey, you aren't the one giving birth to it," she laughed. I caressed her cheek and smiled. She began to moan and groan. "Anakin!" she cried out. "My contractions... they're too quick! Get the droid!" I ran to the other side of the room and hit the button that would summon the droids into our room. Within moments, a droid showed up and asked Ahsoka how close her contractions were. "They're too close!" she yelled at the droid. I smiled and moved closer to her. Even in labor she was the same Ahsoka I'd always known.

The droid helped her into the position that she needed to be in to give birth. "You are very close." The droid was telling Ahsoka to relax before she began to push. I held her hand the entire time, allowing her to tightly grasp my human hand. Ahsoka did as the droid commanded and eventually, the cries of a baby were heard. "It's a girl."

Ahsoka sighed and began to breathe in and out slowly. "Let me see her." The droid brought our daughter to Ahsoka and she showed the face of a loving mother. I knew she'd be a great mother when the time came. "She's so beautiful."

"Kaimi," I whispered. Ahsoka looked up at me with tears in her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you so much, Anakin." She turned back to our daughter and laughed. "Welcome to the universe, Kaimi."

I kissed Ahsoka's forehead and whispered, "Happy Birthday to you both."
