...

Qui-Gon opened his eyes. He was in a lit room, the walls were white he smelled disinfectant. Where was he? He wasn't on Hahlow anymore. That's right. He had been shot. He touched his chest. It was bandaged. It didn't hurt. He looked down to his side. Something had his arm occupied. Lying next to him was Obi-Wan. He tightened his grip on his apprentice. The ceiling was getting boring. He looked to his left. Tahl, Clee and Garen were sleeping on a couch. He smiled. To his right he could make out figures in a door way talking. He recognized Mace speaking with a Medic. Kit was standing listening. Who was the other man? Thomas, that's right. Qui-Gon stared back up at the ceiling.

He closed his eyes momentarily. When he opened them Thomas was looking down at him. Qui-Gon jumped slightly. Obi-Wan stirred then got comfortable again.

Thomas smiled sympathetically. "Sorry. I thought I saw you look over."

Qui-Gon nodded then looked down at Obi-Wan.

"He's been so worried. You lost a lot of blood. Kaoru....Obi-Wan gave as much as they would allow but it still wasn't enough so they got more from another source. Obi-Wan was so tired out from it he fell asleep in the chair leaning on your arm. So I hoisted him up to make it more comfortable for both of you. He's a heavy sleeper." Thomas said brushing some bangs out of his son's sleeping face.

Qui-Gon chuckled then saw the bandage on Thomas' arm. "Where did the blood from the other source come from?"

Thomas looked at him. "I gave it. It was the least I could do for saving my boys and so much more." He smiled.

Qui-Gon was touched. He smiled back and grasped Thomas' arm. "What happened to Alexander?"

Thomas' smile lessened. "He got the sacrifice he wanted. He was the last sacrifice made."

Qui-Gon shivered. His own people sacrificed him.

"Thomas." Mace called from the door way. Mace looked over to Qui and smiled before leaving with Thomas.

After about an hour Obi-Wan finally woke up. He sat confused on the bed. "How did I get up here?" He was still pretty tired.

Once Garen reassured him he wasn't sleep walking Clee shooed the boys out to get some food and Qui-Gon was left alone with Tahl.

She sat at the end of the bed. Qui-Gon was sitting up now.

"So Thomas is the boys' father." Tahl started.

Qui-Gon nodded taking his cup of juice.

"And Kana was his sister. So then Obi-Wan is your Nephew."

Qui-Gon began to choke. "W-What?"

"Don't deny it. You mentioned her unborn baby. Was it yours?"

"I-I...I" Qui-Gon didn't know what else to say except the truth. "Y-yes." He looked down at his cup of juice.

Tahl nodded.

"But Obi-Wan isn't my nephew. Kana and I never married."

"You certainly didn't need to be." She said with a smirk.

Qui-Gon blushed. He NEVER blushed. He looked away.

"I'd say Obi-Wan is good enough as your nephew. So does Thomas."

Qui-Gon's head snapped at her. "What?"

"I forced him to tell me everything. He even thinks Obi-Wan may as well be your son not his. I kind of threatened him to tell me this stuff. Don't Tell Master Yoda okay?"

"Already heard I have." The Jedi master entered the room.

Qui-Gon sighed. Time to face the music... and it wasn't going to be a beautiful orchestra.

Tahl was too afraid to ask the question. But Yoda already knew it was coming. "Known about Qui-Gon's secret I have."

Tahl froze. "So then Qui-Gon isn't in trouble?"

"Already had his punishment he did."

Tahl looked at Qui-Gon who answered. "Suspension."

"At peace are you?" Yoda asked.

Qui-Gon was silent a moment in thought, then looked his Master in the eyes. "Yes. So is She and the boy."

Yoda nodded placed his hand on Qui's then left.

When he was out of ear shot Tahl turned to Qui-Gon. "You were suspended?"

Qui-Gon nodded. "For a year."

Tahl nodded but continued to stare at Qui-Gon. Who had calmed down dramatically since she last saw him awake. He was much more relaxed. "About Kana." she said sitting next to him. She was serious now. She placed a hand on Qui-Gon's. His was so relaxed now. Before, he would always be so tense.

"On Hahlow, when I fell unconscious after I was shot, I saw her and my son." Qui-Gon smiled as he remembered her.

"You did?" Tahl asked unsure.

"Yes. We were finally able to name our son. He looked so much like Obi-Wan. We decided to name him just that."

Tahl smiled. She looked to the door. Obi-Wan ran in and leaped on to the bed. Qui-Gon caught him just in time. Garen followed tackling Obi-Wan on the bed. Qui-Gon laughed and began to tickle them. Thomas ran in and joined in on the fun. Laughing the boys were soon swept off the bed and onto Thomas' shoulders. Clee came in and began scolding the lot of them for not resting when they should have been.

......

~One Week Later~

Qui-Gon, Clee, Obi-Wan, and Garen were seeing Thomas off. Tahl, Mace, Kit and Yoda stayed back and watched. Qui-Gon was pretty much fully healed from the incident on Hahlow.

Qui-Gon had finally agreed that he was Thomas' brother-in-law marriage or no, and that Obi-Wan and Garen where his nephews.

"What will you do now?" Qui-Gon asked.

Thomas smiled cheerfully. "Well I was thinking of starting a quiet life here on Coruscant. I've always wanted to have my own bakery. I'm a pretty good cook, not that I want to brag or anything."

"Then we'll come visit!" Clee said cheerfully!

"Sounds good to me." Thomas said happily embracing Clee. He then bent down and pulled the boys into a big bear hug. After patting them on the head and ruffling their hair, much to Garen's complaint, he turned to Qui-Gon. "I'll see you around my brother." He held out his hand not sure if an embrace would be too much.

Qui-Gon looked at the hand and smiled. He shook his head, pushed it aside and pulled Thomas into a firm embrace. "I'll see you around my brother." He repeated.

Thomas returned the embrace.

Finally they parted and Thomas made his way off into a new world.

The Family was together no matter what. Even Kana and baby Obi.
