Chapter 5

Weight of the World

One Week since Last Chapter

Ahsoka POV

It's been about a week since I forgave Marina and Lilo, and it has been the best week of my life. Marina, Lilo and I have been getting closer as sisters, and Lux and I have been growing closer every day. It's gotten to the point where every time I'm around him I feel a tingly feeling in the pit of my stomach. Whenever he touches me I just want to grab his face and kiss him. And whenever I think about him my head starts spinning and I feel like Lux and I are the only people in the world.

Marina's baby was due in about two days. Lilo's excited, Marina's scared, and I'm not so sure how I feel about it.

I was on patrol in the underworld, and it could be dangerous down here if you lost your way.

As I walked down the streets, I could feel several eyes on me. And I could sense they intended to do me harm.

I kept my expression neutral, so that way they wouldn't bother me.

I saw a Trandoshan leaning on the side of a building about two hundred feet away. I calmly turned into an alley half way between us.

But what I didn't account for was three more Trandoshans stepping out in front of me, blocking my way. "Kriff off." I said simply.

One of them hissed. "A pretty little girl like you shouldn't be down here at this hour." He said evilly. I'm usually not intimidated by people, but these guys were putting me on edge. They were much bigger than me and they could take me out if they wanted to.

I heard hissing behind me and I froze. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" I felt a pair of big hands grip my shoulders from behind.

Don't show fear. . . Don't show fear. . .

"I think we've caught a Jedi." One of them hissed in front of me.

"Aw, that's too bad." Another one hissed. "And she's so pretty, too!"

The one behind me pushed me forward. But I caught myself before I could crash into the Trandoshans in front of me.

One hissed. "If you come quietly, this will be quick." He pulled out a stun blaster and the one next to him pulled out a giant bag.

Fantastic. Skyguy, if I get out of this alive. You're going on underworld patrol from now on!

I glanced up desperately. The buildings were too high for me to jump up to them, and if I started to run I would get shot.

The one behind me jumped at me. I hit the floor and he rammed into the one holding the blaster. I flipped backwards and took a few steps back. "Get her!" One of the Trandoshans hissed.

I turned to run. But yet another Trandoshan stepped out of the shadows. He seized my arms and pinned them behind my back. "Shoot her!" He shouted.

I struggled against him. Then I heard a voice come from the shadows. "If you dare hurt her you will regret it for the rest of your life!" Lux?

I heard a blaster fire five times and on the last one the Trandoshan holding me let go. All of the Trandoshans were lying unconscious on the ground. There was a dark silhouette in shadows holding a blaster. Then he stepped out of the shadows and I saw it was Lux, and he looked worried. "Are you following me!?" I accused.

He ran to me and started examining me. "Oh, my God. Ahsoka, are you okay? Please tell me you're okay!"

I pushed him off me. "I'm fine! I could've handled myself." Don't kiss him. . . Don't kiss him. . .

"Well, what did you expect me to do? Stand back and watch to see how things play out?" He asked, crossing his arms.

I sighed. "I guess I owe you a thank you, then."

"That would be much appreciated." He said.

"Fine, thank you." I said with a grin.

Lux rolled his eyes playfully and then he hugged me. "Why are you down here, anyway?"

I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him back. "I was on patrol to see if there was anything suspicious going on."

Lux pulled back and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Promise me, from now on, you will take a speeder. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you."

I looked up at him. "You care about me, don't you?"

"Well, duh." Lux said with a smile, he stroked my cheek. Pinch me, I'm dreaming.

I smiled at him. "Um, we should probably get out of here. It's not exactly safe."

Lux looped his fingers through mine and I could feel my montrals darken. "Good idea."

Lux POV

I was looking for some speeder parts in the underworld, and so far I was unsuccessful. I knew the underworld wasn't the best place to look, but I couldn't find anything on the upper levels either.

I was about to give up and head back to my apartment when I heard someone hissing in the alley across the street. "If you come quietly, this will be quick."

I darted across the street and looked down the alley. I saw four Trandoshans forming a circle around someone. One of them was holding a stun blaster and the other was holding a bag. Who's their victim this time? I thought, getting ready to jump in and help out whoever it was they were looking down on.

I saw one of them jump forward and ram into the one holding a blaster. That's when I got a clear view of, Ahsoka!

I immediately sprung into action and pulled out my own stun blaster. I saw a previously hidden Trandoshan pin Ahsoka's arms behind her back. "Shoot her!" He yelled.

"If you dare hurt her you will regret it for the rest of your life!" I growled; making sure I was still hidden in the shadows.

I fired my blaster on everyone except Ahsoka. When the Trandoshans were down, I stepped out of the shadows. At first, Ahsoka looked happy that I was there, but she quickly narrowed her eyes into a glare. "Are you following me?"

I ignored her and rushed over to her, examining her to make sure she was okay. "Oh, my God. Ahsoka, are you okay? Please tell me you're okay!"

She pushed me off of her. "I'm fine! I could've handled myself."

"Well, what did you expect me to do? Stand back and watch to see how things play out?" I asked crossing my arms. She's so beautiful. . .

She sighed. "I guess I owe you a thank you, then."

I grinned. "That would be much appreciated."

"Fine, thank you." She smiled her beautiful smile.

I playfully rolled my eyes and hugged her as tightly as I could. "Why are you down here, anyway?" I asked.

I felt her arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer to her, "I was on patrol to see if there was anything suspicious going on." She said.

I pulled back and placed my hands on her shoulders. "Promise me, from now on, you will take a speeder. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you." It was true; I would probably die without Ahsoka.

She looked up at me. "You care about me, don't you?"

"Well, duh." I smiled at her and stroked her soft cheek. I think I heard her stop breathing for a minute, but she started breathing again.

She smiled at me. "Um, we should probably get out of here. It's not exactly safe."

I grabbed her hand and I saw her blush. "Good idea."

I led her around a corner to my speeder and I climbed on. She got on behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her chin on my shoulder. I knew we were meant for each other, but I also knew I could never have her. And truthfully, that hurt a lot.

I drove back to the upper levels of the city and stopped the speeder. I climbed off and extended my hand for hers. She took my hand and hopped off the speeder.

For some reason, the streets were completely deserted. So I had Ahsoka all to myself. I never let go of her hand, and she never let go of mine. We stopped and looked over a railing at the city lights below us. "Lux?" She asked.

I looked into her sparkling eyes. "Yes, Ahsoka?"

She threw her arms around my neck and said. "I'm so glad you're in my life."

I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly. "And I'm glad you're in mine."

She pulled back but kept her arms wrapped around my neck. I felt myself leaning down, and I saw Ahsoka moving onto the tips of her toes. Both of our eyes were closing. Our lips were less than a centimeter apart when Ahsoka's com-link went off.

Both of our eyes shot open and we both backed away from each other. Her montrals turned a dark shade of blue, and I looked away, blushing madly. Ahsoka answered her call. "Ahsoka, here."

"Ahsoka! Marina has gone into labor and she needs you there!" I recognized her sister, Lilo.

"What!" Ahsoka's eyes widened. "The babies not due for two more days!"

"Well, the baby doesn't care!" Lilo said frantically. "Now come on, we're at the hospital! Hurry!"

"The hospitals two miles away! And I don't have a speeder!" I could tell Ahsoka was getting worried.

"I can drive you, Ahsoka." I spoke up.

Ahsoka looked at me. "Really?"

I nodded, "Come on!"

"Hurry!" Lilo said before ending the call.

I grabbed Ahsoka's hand and we ran back to my speeder. I started it up and Ahsoka wrapped her arms around my waist. I drove off in the direction of the hospital.

Ahsoka POV

As soon as we were close enough to the hospital, I jumped off of the moving speeder. "Ahsoka!" Lux called. I ignored him.

Lux stopped the speeder and ran in with me. "How do you know where they are?" Lux asked.

"I can sense them." I answered.

I kept running, narrowly avoiding running into patients and doctors. I finally stopped at one door and opened it. Marina and Lilo were inside and Marina was screaming her head off. Lux closed the door behind us as I ran to Marina's side. "Is she okay?" I asked Lilo frantically.

"I think she's almost there." Lilo said.

I grabbed Marina's hand. "Marina, push!" I ordered. She screamed even louder.

"Come on, Marina!" I said. "One more push!"

The sound of a baby crying replaced Marina's screaming. I saw Lilo wrap the baby in a towel. "Congratulations, Marina." She said handing the newborn to her. "It's a girl."

Marina took the baby girl and cradled her in her arms. "She's beautiful. Ahsoka, would you like to hold her?"

"Um, okay." I said cautiously. I took her and cradled her in my arms. Her skin was a shade of orange you only see when the sun sets, and her eyes were a misty blue. She had the smallest montrals I have ever seen, and she was adorable.

I could sense Lux standing over my shoulders and smiling.

I gave the newborn Togruta girl back to Marina. "What are you going to name her?"

Marina smiled at her daughter. "Rosette."

I felt Lux grab my hand. "That's a beautiful name." I said.

Marina stroked Rosette's montrals. "Rosette Yuae Tano."

My throat started to burn. Yuae was the name of our mother.

Lux and I stood watching Rosette. She had stopped crying and was now playing with her Marina's fingers.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and met Lux's gaze. "Yes?" I asked.

"Can I talk to you out in the hallway for a second?" He asked.

Ahsoka looked at Rosette real quick, and then back to me. "Sure."

I grabbed Ahsoka's hand and led her into the deserted hallway. "What is it, Lux?" I asked.

Lux sighed then looked down; I could tell he was deep in thought. "Ahsoka, I. . ."

"Ahsoka! Lux!" We both turned and saw Padmé running down the hallway towards us. "Is Marina okay? I just heard about the baby."

I spoke, "Marina and the baby are fine, Padmé. Come see." We're having a conversation here, Padmé!

Lux and I walked back into the room with Padmé.

Padmé ran to Marina's side. I stood in the corner and smiled as I watched Rosette. I was actually starting to think about what it would be like if I had a baby one day. But my smile faded as I remembered that I never could. With me being a Jedi and nobody caring about me in that way.

I felt Lux place his hands gently on my shoulders. "Rosette is beautiful, just like her Aunt Ahsoka."

I felt my montrals darken the same time I thought, Huh; I guess I am an aunt now.

I heard Lux sigh. "I wish I could have a child one day."

I turned to face him. "Why can't you?" I asked.

"I only love one person, and it would be impossible for me to be with her." Lux said looking down.

That hurt me, here I was. Listening to the man I love saying that he was in love with someone else. "Who is it?" I asked, keeping my facial expression the same.

Lux looked around, "Come on." He grabbed my hand and led me back out into the hallway. But we didn't stop there; he walked up a few flights of stairs until we came to the roof.

It was about midnight, and the stars were out. The lights in the buildings were still on, and it actually looked beautiful. It was cold, though.

I shivered. "Here." Lux said, draping his jacket over my shoulders.

I shook my head, "No, Lux. You need it."

"Ahsoka, I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about." Lux said smiling sweetly at me.

I sighed, knowing Lux wouldn't take the jacket back. I turned back to the city lights and then looked at Lux again. "So, who is the one that you love?" I asked.

The funny thing was; I never got an answer. Lux just grabbed my shoulders and brought his lips crashing down on mine. My eyes were wide open, and I was shocked.

I pushed him off. "What are you doing?!" I asked breathlessly.

Lux looked away; I could sense that he was embarrassed. "I'm sorry Ahsoka, but I just can't fight it anymore! The reason I joined the Republic was so I could be with you. And I just haven't been able to fight the fact that I love you."

I was stunned. He loves me? I'm the one he loves? And truthfully, I was happy about it. But I think my facial expression said otherwise.

Lux turned away from me. "I'm sorry, Ahsoka. I promise I won't bother you ever again."

I reached out for him. "Lux, wait. . ." But he was already gone.

I slumped to the floor and thought out loud. "What have I done?"
