Ahsoka needed some time. She needed to be alone to think. She loves Cardek and wants to be with him, but doesn't want to risk him falling to the Dark Side because of her. She stayed up most of the night contemplating this until she finally came to a decision. It was the middle of the night, but this couldn't wait. She had to tell him now. She went to his room and walked in to see him asleep. She walked over to his bed and kneeled next to him and gently shook him.

"Cardek. Cardek, wake up." He stirred and slowly opened his eyes.

"Ahsoka? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. We need to talk. It can't wait." He sat up.

"What is it?"

"It's about what happened eariler. I've thought about this for a long time and I've come to a decision."

"What?"

"I love you and I want to be with you, but..."

"But what?"

"I don't want to risk you having anymore attachments."

"Ahsoka, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that... it's probably best... if you weren't around for the twins." He was shocked.

"What? Why would you even say that? What would..."

"Cardek, I love you and I don't want to lose you."

"And I don't want you to take care of the twins by yourself. You're only sixteen and barely can take care of yourself. Ahsoka, I'm not abandoning the twins like Bane did."

"I don't know what else to do about this. It's almost impossible for you to break your attachment from me. I'm trying to prevent two more from happening."

"Ahsoka, come here." He pulled her into his lap and rubbed her belly. He was silent for a moment, then he spoke. "Ahsoka, you are carrying two wonderful children that will have bright futures. I know you'll be a great mother, but you can't care for them on your own. I want to help you raise them because I love you and I don't want your angel children to be devils like their father. Don't push me away because you're afraid for me. Don't be."

"I don't know what else to do."

"Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together. We'll do this together." She looked in his eyes with tears in hers. She kissed him. He kissed her back. They broke apart after a while.

"Promise me you won't turn. Promise you won't leave me."

"I promise, Ahsoka. I'll never do anything to hurt you." She kissed him again and pushed him on the bed. She lifted her head and looked at him.

"Make love to me, Cardek." He nodded and stroked her cheek.

"If that is what you want."

"Yes. It is"

"Alright then." He leaned up to kiss her again. She kissed him back. He deepened the kiss as his hand reached to the back of her head. Finding it uncomfortable on her stomach, Ahsoka flipped them so that he was on top of her. He pulled away with a smirk. "So you want me to be the dominant one right now?"

"Well, it is a little uncomfortable for me to be on top with my stomach poking out like this. Plus, I like it when you're in charge."

"Of course, you do." He leaned into her ear and whispered sexily. "After all, I please you best when I'm in charge." She smirked.

"Then, I guess you'll have to be in charge for the next five months. Better make them count."

"Oh, I will." He kissed her passionately. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and deepened the kiss. He groaned into the kiss. She smirked against the kiss and slipped her hand under his shirt and rubbed his chest. He groaned a bit louder as he explored her mouth eagerly, rubbing her sides. She moved her hands down to his pants. His hand reached into her shirt and kneaded her breasts. She moaned as she started to pull down his pants. He pulled away and took off his shirt.

"Cardek, I love you and I need you inside me." He took off his pants and threw them to the side.

"This won't hurt the babies, will it?"

"As long as you don't put too much pressure on my stomach."

"Alright." He helped her take off her shirt and her pants. "Any time you want me to stop for the babies, let me know." She nodded.

"I will." He positioned himself at her entrance and slowly entered, groaning loudly.

"Damn! I forgot how tight you were!" She moaned.

"I forgot how big you were!" He fully entered her, sighing contently.

"I'm in heaven every time we do this."

"Me too." She gridded her hips against him. He groaned at the actions, and slowly began to thrust. She grinded harder. "Cardek. Move faster."

"With pleasure." He sped up his thrusting as he began to suck on one of her breasts.

"Yes. Yes! Oh, Cardek!" Turned on by her screams, he sucked on her nipple, swirling his tongue around it as he thrusted a little faster. "CARDEK! GODDAMNIT!"

He hit her sweet spots and began to hit over and over again, pulling away from her breasts to groan and scream loudly. "OH! CARDEK! I'M GONNA CUM!"

"ME TOO! GODDAMMIT YOU'RE SO TIGHT!"

"CARDEK! TOUCH ME!" He grabbed a breast and massaged it while his other hand reached down and began to rub her womanhood, thrusting as fast as he can the whole time. She screamed louder and louder. He joined in her screaming as he continued hitting her sweet spot over and over, waiting for her release. "CARDEK!"

She came as hard as she could.

"AHSOKA!" He came as hard as he could with her. She breathed heavily as her body shook from both of their releases. He trembled with every heavy breath as he fell to down to her side. She cuddled up closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back caringly. "I love you, Ahsoka."

"I love you too." She was silent for a moment. "Cardek?"

"Yes, Ahsoka?"

"You do know after I have the twins we won't be able to do this as much."

"How so?"

"Caring for twins is a lot of work. It's not that easy."

"Yeah, I'm sure it won't be. They're definitely going to take up a lot of our time."

"And most of our energy. Taking care of twins is a fulltime job."

"Yeah...it's definitely going to be hell. Yet somehow...I get the feeling we're going to enjoy it through it all."

"I'll admit parenthood has its perks, but it's not all fun and games."

"No, it won't. But I think...that being a parent...will be the most satisfying feeling in the world."

"I don't know what to think of it. I shouldn't even have to think about this. If I had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened. I'm so stupid."

"You're not stupid, Ahsoka. Yes, you made a mistake, but we all do. There's nothing we can change about it, but what we can do is get through it and make the most of it. I'm sure that when it's over and you'll hold the children in your arms...it'll be the most wonderful experience you've ever had."

"But what if I don't? What if I look at them and see Bane?"

"You won't Ahsoka. He is not their father..." He was silent for a moment. "I am. I will be their father, and even if one of them looks like Bane, I refuse to see him in the babies. They are not him, and I will make sure they never will be."

"Cardek, are you sure you want to do this? Being a teen father isn't as easy as it sounds. I don't want you to regret your decision."

"It probably won't be. Hell, I may even be broken down at some points. But...I've made my decision. I don't want you going through this alone. I love you too much to abandon you or these children like that. They are going to have a father, and I will be just that."

"I wish Bane would've thought like you. He's such a..." She sighed. "I just wish he would've at least cared about the twins."

"What else would you expect from a bounty hunter? They're too carefree, too selfish. They don't want anything holding them down. All they care about is themselves and what they want. Bane is the epitome of that. Still, I hate how he just casually brushed this all aside in your face."

"There was a side that was nothing like that. He actually cared about me. I thought he loved me. When he found out about the twins, he changed."

"I think that's sort of the reaction one gets when there's a unplanned pregnancy in your face. Still, it really doesn't excuse for what he's done. It really shows what he really felt for you. If he truly loved you, he would've helped you through this. I can only guess that the side you saw of him was just a smooth act to get you in bed." She lifted her head and looked at him.

"What are you saying? That I'll get in bed with any guy that smooth talks me?" He stuttered.

"N-no! That's not what I meant! It's..." He sighed. "I meant that Bane liked what he saw in you, but knew that you probably wouldn't go for who he truly was. So he probably created the facade you saw of him to get you, probably observed what you from afar to get your tastes in men. It's all guessing anyway. I know you wouldn't get into bed with just any smooth talker. Bane just simply knows how to play women, I guess. Please forgive me if I said anything wrong."

"Cardek, you have to be careful what you say to me when I'm like this because I will bite your head off in an instant."

"Because of you mood swings?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry I snapped at you. I'm just not myself."

"It's okay. It's kinda my fault as well. I should've been better with my words."

"I wouldn't expect you to know that would happen. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." He kissed her forehead. "It's going to happen at times."

"I know, but I don't want you to think it's your fault." She got an idea. "I think I need to apologize in another way." She slid her hand down his chest. He was surprised.

"You want to go at it again? So soon?"

"That's not completely what I had in mind." She ran her finger up and down his chest. He groaned softly at her touch. She giggled at his reaction as she grabbed him and slowly stroked him. He groaned louder.

"Damn! That feels good..." She moved down to his shaft and stroked him faster. He gasped and groaned even more. She whispered to him low and seductively.

"Tell me what you want, baby."

"I...I want you to take me with your mouth...I want you to make me come as hard as I can."

"Your wish is my command." She took him in her mouth.

"FUCK!" He gripped the bed sheets tightly. She slowly sucked on him, then picked up her pace. He groaned and moaned in pleasure, his hand finding its way to the back of her head. She took as much of him in her mouth as she could, sucking harder. "Damn! Ahsoka, your mouth feels so hot and good!"

He groaned louder. She bobbed her head faster, sucking as hard as she could. "GODDAMN! THAT FEEL SO GOOD!"

She continued her actions even faster. "AHSOKA! I'M SO CLOSE!"

She took him out of her mouth and into her hand, stroking him at an erratic pace. He screamed as he came all over her hand. She chuckled lightly. "Someone's satisfied."

He was breathing heavily. "I sure am. Although, I do wonder why you took me out of your mouth. I was really enjoying your mouth."

"I'm pregnant, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Swallowing my come wouldn't be good for the babies, would it?" She shook her head.

"No. Maybe after I have the twins, I'll try it." He smirked.

"I'm sure you'll enjoy the taste of me."

"Like you enjoy the taste of me?" He blushed with a chuckle.

"Yep. I can't get enough of your taste. It's really delicious." She blushed and looked away from him.

"Cardek..." He leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She looked back at him with a smile. "I love you, Cardek."

He smiles as well. "I love you too, Ahsoka." Her smile faded as her face became serious.

"Cardek, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"Do you think... that I'm doing the right thing by keeping the twins?" He frowned.

"Of course. Why would you ask such a thing?"

"Well, I am only sixteen and like you said I can barely take care of myself. I don't think I'll be able to care for them properly."

"Ahsoka...you will. It will be tough, but you will. We can'tjust give them away to anyone. What if the people who taken them in turn out to be abusive, and hurt these children and scar them for life? Or what if the people aren't able to teach them right and they end up like Bane? With us, it may be tough, but we will make sure they have a great life, and that they have the right teachings and morals."

"If the Council were going to make me give up the twins, they would send them to my family on Shili. They'll be able to give them more than I ever could."

"But they can't be a true mother. If they grow up without you, a proper mother, then they will be lost. They'll always be asking where they mommy is, and they'll always be met with silence. Yeah, they could meet you in the future, but we can't let them have a life with no parents. It's too cruel, and no one can take your place." He placed his hand on her stomach. "These children...as parents, it is our duty to give these kids the best lives they can."

"But what if I mess up? I don't know how to take care of a child. Let alone two."

"We will make mistakes, there's no doubt about it. But what we must do is learn from those mistakes, and be the best parents we can. And if you give those children away, you'll regret it for the rest of you life. You'll be always be wondering what if? You'll feel empty, sad, at the loss of your children. They're your babies, and your their mother. It's your duty to take care of them, and I will be there every step of the way as the father." Tears started to form in her eyes.

"I just want what's best for my babies." He kissed her softly on the cheek.

"I know, Ahsoka. And I feel this is what's best. We can't just give up just because it will be tough. We can do this, and through it all, it will be worth it in the end. I can feel it." She hugged him.

"I hope you're right." He sighed as he hugged her back.

"Me too, Ahsoka."

"Ooh." She pulled away from him.

"What is it?" She chuckled lightly.

"The babies kicked." His eyes widened.

"Th-They...kicked?"

"They're moving. Look." She put his hand on her stomach. "Do you feel them?"

He felt the kicking through her stomach. "I...I do. It's...It's..." She smiled.

"Amazing?"

"Yeah...It's like...nothing I've ever seen or felt before...It's unreal."

"It's life. Tiny life inside me. I never thought I would feel something like this."

"It's truly a wonderful, unreal experience. It must be surreal for you."

"You could say that. I think as they grow, it'll get more annoying and painful. Especially if one's a boy." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess. But the first time it happens...it's really something special, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is. I know they're okay. I know they're still alive. Gives me peace of mind." He leaned his forehead onto hers and softly grabbed her hand.

"I love you, Ahsoka, and I promise to be the best damn father I can be." She chuckled.

"I know you will. You might want to learn to watch your language around them. We don't want them picking up any bad words from their daddy." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I got a pretty foul mouth when I want to. I'll tone it down when they're born."

"I know you'll try." She kissed him. He kissed her back deeply before pulling away with a smile.

"I'll never leave you, Ahsoka. And that's a promise."

"I know you won't. I love you, Cardek. With all my heart."

"I love you too, Ahsoka." He kissed her passionately.
