I Need You
Chapter 20
Anakin walked into the entrance of the famed Jedi temple. He was greeted by the sight of a beaming Obi Wan Kenobi.
"Hey, Master," he greeted, gazing suspiciously at his former Master.
"Morning Anakin, what?" he asked, noticing Anakin's intense look.
"What happened to you, Master?" he asked, "I've never seen you so happy."
"Well," the other man started, looking like a tiny child opening his birthday presents. Obi Wan glanced away, slightly embarrassed.
"Master," Anakin chided, "come on, you can tell me."
"I'm in love," Obi Wan said, proudly.
"Love?" Anakin asked incredulously.
"Yes, love," Kenobi confirmed.
"Wow, Master, So who's the lucky lady?" Anakin asked, patting his Master on the back.
"Sabe Knightly," he confided.
"Really? Congratulations, Master, she is a fine young woman," he said.
"Yes, she certainly is and has saved the life of your lover many times," he replied.
"We better go to see the Council," Anakin said, "they'll be annoyed if I'm late yet again."
"Anakin, you've grown up."
"Thank you, Master."

"Morning, Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi," Mace Windu greeted as the two entered.
"Morning Masters," Obi Wan said, bowing before sitting in his seat.
Anakin stood there, confused, "Master Skywalker?" he asked.
"Yes, done well you have, Anakin, grant you the position of Master, the Council does. Take a seat," Master Yoda said.
"Thank you, Masters," Anakin said, taking his seat.
"Another matter this brings up," the little green Master continued, "the Senator, takes away your anger she does, the code shall be relaxed, attachments shall be permitted."
Obi Wan smiled, "Master Kenobi, a bride of your own you shall have soon." Yoda said.
"I love her very much, Masters," Obi Wan said.
"When is your wedding, Master Skywalker?"
"Not soon enough, after the children have been born," Anakin said, brushing his fingers through his hair.
"Very well, the Council has no more to say, everyone is dismissed."

"Ani, you're home," Padme exclaimed, as he came in the door.
"So it would seem," he said, dryly. They kissed as he sat on the sofa and ran his hands through her dark curls.
She smiled as they pulled apart, "what did the Council want?"
"They wanted to see Master Skywalker," he replied.
"They made you a Master," she grinned, pulling him closer, "well done, Ani." They kissed again, deeply.
"And they have relaxed the code, so attachments are no longer forbidden," he grinned, playing with her diamond engagement ring.
"Anakin, did you know Sabe…" Padme started.
"And Obi Wan…" Anakin continued.
"Are together?" they both finished together, before bursting into giggles.
"Listen Angel, we're not even married yet and we're already finishing each other's sentences," he grinned.
"This is how it's meant to be, Ani. No Jedi code, everyone can know how much we love each other," she whispered.
He smiled once again and breathed against her lips, "You're right, Angel, I love you."
"I love you too," she replied, before Anakin's lips came crashing down on her's.

Sabe grinned, watching Obi Wan as he lay out on the grass next to her. His blue eyes were glittering, in that way that was so attractive to the young handmaiden.
"You look so beautiful tonight," he said, gazing at her.
"So do you," she said, shyly, "well not beautiful but more handsome, very handsome."
He moved closer to her, taking her slender hand, "I…uh…have something to ask you, Sabe," he started. She nodded, encouraging him to continue. "Sabe, I can still remember the day we met, how we all thought you were the Queen, but to me you'll always be a Queen, the Queen of my heart. Sabe Knightly, my darling, will you marry me?" he asked, bringing a golden diamond encrusted ring out of his robes.
She looked shocked and Obi Wan feared it was not what she wanted to hear. "Sabe?" he asked, fearfully.
"Oh Obi Wan, of course I will," she grinned, launching herself into his arms, "you won't be able to keep me away." As their engagement was now set, the young couple kissed under the twilight sky.
