POV: Anakin Skywalker

Two weeks have gone by. We're still on Mandalore, but the Council is looking for us. We have been gone for almost a month now. Obi-Wan and I were sitting in the living room area. I was feeding Kaimi a bottle. He was watching me and silently laughing. I chose to take Kaimi from the room we were staying in so Ahsoka could get some rest.

Kaimi was more human than Togruta. She was beginning to grow more brown hair, but her skin was orange. "Why didn't you tell me that we'd never get any sleep after she was born?" I whispered to Obi-Wan.

"It's a learning experience. You finally get to learn some responsibility, Anakin. Satine and I found out after the first few nights that our life was going to be completely different. Yours and Ahsoka's will be the same." I sighed. Ahsoka and I were getting the same amount of sleep each night. That's pretty close to nothing at all. Kaimi is always crying, so we're always up. I was able to sneak out of the room before she woke up, allowing Ahsoka to stay asleep. I'm sure she'll appreciate it in the morning. "Anakin, I never thought I'd see you holding a child."

I laughed quietly. "Me either actually. I didn't want Ahsoka to even go through this once I found out she was going to have a child. I wanted it, but I thought she was too young for the entire process. You know, Master, I could actually say the same about you. Why did you go against the code in the first place?"

"I felt that the rules were... guidelines, as you like to call them. They weren't meant to be completely followed. Satine and I were in love a long time ago and we finally came to our senses and got together. I remember our first –"

"Okay, Obi-Wan, thank you. Do not get graphic. I'm not telling you about my personal time with Ahsoka."

He laughed and I rolled my eyes. "It was amazing."

"Ugh."

Again, he laughed. "I don't mean that. I mean when Satine and I first brought Airi home, it was amazing. How did you feel when you brought Kaimi here?"

"Well, this isn't really home, but it felt nice. This is a safe and stable home for her to be in. I just don't know what we're going to do once we have to go back to Coruscant."

He paused for a few moments, allowing silence to fill the air. "I could ask Satine if she'd be willing to –"

"No," I interrupted. "You both have already done so much for us. You've allowed us to stay here and you've given us full hospitality. We both appreciate it, but I can't put your wife through anything else."

"Oh, really? Do I have a say in it?" Satine came in wearing her nightgown, smiling. Obi-Wan jumped and I chuckled.

"Satine, would you be interested in keeping Kaimi here?"

"Obi-Wan, no," I said angrily. "Satine, please tell him you can't do it."

She smiled warmly at me. "Anakin, you're family to us, making Kaimi part of it. I don't go out much anymore now that I have my own child. I'd be willing to take on both of them. I know you won't abandon her forever."

I sighed. "You've done enough for us, Satine. I can't push my daughter on you."

"What are you going to do then?" Ah, she had me there. I smirked. "Anakin, let me take her. You can come back and visit whenever you like. I will treat her as if she is my own. Of course, I'll tell her that she isn't my daughter. I'll tell her what wonderful and powerful parents she has."

I bit my lip, not knowing what to say. If I left my daughter here, I'd feel terrible. My daughter may never get the chance to know her parents. "I'll have to talk about this with Ahsoka first. Thank you so much, Satine. I have no doubts as to why Obi-Wan chose you to be his bride." She smiled and I saw a blush creeping into her cheeks. Obi-Wan chuckled and stood, walking toward her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. They both looked so happy. "Get a room," I said jokingly.

They both laughed and said good night to me. I remained in the room with my daughter. I began to rock her slowly to sleep and hummed a song that my mother sang to me when I was a child. I could never get the words right, but I knew the tune. I felt Kaimi fall asleep and began to drift off myself. I continued to hum as I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. "That's beautiful, Ani."

I jumped slightly and opened my eyes. Ahsoka's beautiful form was standing across the room. She was in a purple nightgown. She smiled and walked over to me. "I tried to let you sleep..."

She kissed me. "Thank you. I love you. Where is that song from?"

I returned her kiss, but made it longer. I pulled back a little and smiled. "I love you, too. It was a song my mother used to sing to me. I only know the tune..."

"Come back to bed with me, love," she whispered. I didn't want to move, but I didn't want to hold Kaimi all night. "I've never seen her so calm when she's been held, Ani."

I smiled. "She's going to be a daddy's girl."

Ahsoka laughed quietly. "Let's hope so. You teach her how to wield a lightsaber and I'll teach her all the feminine things."

I smirked. "I'll teach her how to fly a starfighter when she's able."

"You are not going to –"

I shushed her and smiled. "I'm kidding. I'd never to do anything to harm her."

I went into our room and laid Kaimi in the crib. As soon as I turned around, Ahsoka's arms were wrapped around my waist. "You're so amazing."

I bent down to kiss her and she smiled. Her arms wrapped around my neck and mine wrapped around her small body. She pulled me back onto the bed. I was on top of her, but she was definitely in control. Our kiss continued to deepen until it led into other things.

POV: Obi-Wan Kenobi

I swear I just heard Ahsoka scream Anakin's name. Satine laughed beside me. What they were doing was completely obvious. "Oh, young love."

"Very young." I looked over at Airi, still sound asleep. Our daughter was beautiful, as was Anakin's. "Satine, are you sure you want to take Kaimi? I'm not sure that they'll be able to visit often. You'll have a lot to handle between the two."

She smiled and caressed my face. "Obi, I'm sure. Their daughter will be here, waiting for them to arrive. Plus, this is experience for a bigger family. If I can take care of both children, then I'll be able to take care of two of our own."

I laughed. "I know you can take care of two, Satine. Well, if you want to try this, I'll support you. We have to wait for those two to discuss it though. They should probably take her to Coruscant to get tested as Force-sensitive. Both of her parents are Jedi, so she might be, too."

"We can't let her go to Coruscant! If she is Force-sensitive, they'll keep her there for further training."

I held her close to me. "It will be a few years before they can actually train her, Satine. The same could be said about our daughter, too. She may be Force-sensitive."

"How are you going to explain Airi? Anakin and Ahsoka told the Council that they were having a child."

"I will tell them that a friend of mine passed away and asked me to take care of his child."

"Why can't you tell them? I know you don't want to be expelled, but, Obi, doesn't our daughter mean more than that?"

I sighed. "Of course Airi is more important than being a Jedi. I would give it up in a moment's notice."

She smiled hopefully. "Would you?"

"Yes," I responded without hesitation. All that hope in her face clearly showed that I would be resigning from the order once we returned. I would actually have the chance to be with my daughter for as long as I wanted. "I will speak with the Council when those two are ready to go. I'll be joining you and Airi afterward, my love."

She smiled and kissed me. "The time for that will come, but now we must rest. I hope those two are going to sleep soon..."

We both laughed. Anakin and Ahsoka were definitely two of the loudest lovers I'd ever heard. Anakin hadn't even known about Satine and I when he was in the room next to ours. Those two were clear across the building. Satine cuddled up against me and closed her eyes. I leaned back onto the pillows and wrapped my arms around her. "Good night, darling," I whispered. "I love you."

I saw her smile, but comfortable silence hung in the air afterward until we both fell asleep.

POV: Ahsoka Tano

"I think we were a little loud," Anakin said, laughing.

I smirked. "Possibly. I'm just hoping they don't say anything about it in the morning. What do you think they're doing?"

His eyes widened. "I'd rather not think about them. Let's get some sleep. I think Obi-Wan might want to get back to Coruscant sometime soon. We've been away for a while, especially you."

"Has anything new happened since I left?"

He sighed. "No. Everything is still the same. I'm just happier now that I've got you beside me."

"Well, hopefully you'll still be my master when you bring me back." His face paled and he frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"I... I forgot about my... new Padawan."

"You have a new Padawan? Who is she?"

He laughed. "Why would you assume it's a she? Actually, his name is Jaele."

"What's he like?"

"He's like Obi-Wan. He always wants to train and learn."

I laughed. "That's something new for you. Did you teach him anything?"

"Well, I taught him that I have no control on my emotions..."

"What happened?"

He looked away from me and frowned. "I completely lost it. He was putting me down for not teaching him anything. I told him about you, about us."

I pulled his face back to me and kissed him lightly. "That just shows that you have feeling. You aren't steeled to the point where you feel nothing, Anakin."

"I've always had feelings. They get messed with sometimes or I completely lose them."

He pulled me closer to him. I could feel a bit of fear inside of him. "What's wrong?"

He sighed and kissed my cheek. "I just don't want to lose you again. I lost you to the dark side and I left you behind on Mustafar. I've felt empty all this time, but now that I have you again, I feel complete."

"Anakin," I began, kissing him. "I knew that you'd come back for me. I never lost hope. The thought of being with you again was what kept me going. Sure, things were a little hard after I made you leave, but your face and voice got me through everything."

"I will never leave you behind again. You or Kaimi. I need you both to survive."

"I won't let you leave us behind. We need you, too. She is going to need her father and I need you because I love you too much."

He laughed and sighed. "We're almost inseparable now. I'm going to have to figure out what I'm going to do with Jaele when we get back. You and I need to discuss Kaimi. Satine doesn't mind watching her for a while, but I'm leaving the decision up to you."

"Do you think it would be better for her if we left her here?"

"I don't know," he said, shaking his head. "It might be, but she won't get to know us as well as she would if we kept her with us. I just don't want the Council to test her for Force-sensitivity. I want her to have a normal life."

I laughed. "With two Jedi as parents, I don't think she'll have a normal life. We'd have to give everything up for her if we wanted that. If she becomes a Jedi, she could always be with us. Huh, maybe she'd be my Padawan."

He smirked. "That's if you become a Knight before she's a Padawan."

"I'll become a Knight one day. Once you become a Master."

"I'll never become a Master, Ahsoka. I'm not a very good teacher. I can't hold down a Padawan or teach them the proper techniques that they're supposed to learn from me."

"You'll become a Master. I know it," I said, kissing him. "I'm tired, Ani."

He kissed my forehead and smiled. "Good night, my love." He laid back down and I cuddled against him. His arms wrapped around me and we fell asleep.
