Obi-Wan wandered around the Jedi temple looking for his young apprentice. He was no fool, he knew Anakin rarely slept at the temple, but Obi-Wan needed to talk to Anakin urgently. He couldn't help but feeling concerned for his Padawan since talking to Master Yoda and Master Windu last week, about the danger they sense in Anakin. It was still the early hours of the morning and Obi-Wan was fairly certain he'd catch Anakin at this time in the morning. If he was there that is, as he often liked to make an early start to his day. Obi-Wan pondered about his Padawan's attitude since the battle of Genosis. He was more secretive, yet just as open as before, he certainly had a lot more control over his emotions, and that worried the master to some extent. The extra practice Anakin had put into his focus training indicated that there could be something he was hiding, prehaps the secret that Master Yoda spoke about. After checking the training room, Obi-Wan sighed in defeat.

"Master Kenobi," a small voice from behind him said. He looked round to see a padawan sitting in the centre of the floor, a meditation position.

"Sorry disturb you, I was looking for my Padawan, he's an early starter like you," Obi-Wan didn't need to say anymore, the pair were quite known throughout the Jedi temple, the chosen one and his mentor. Of course Obi-Wan was respected as a great Jedi master, even without his apprentice.

"I heard that Anakin stayed in the city again tonight, there was a rumour that he had stayed at Senator Amidala's for the night last week," the girl said as she stood up and moved towards the exit, a little intimdated by the look in the Jedi master's eye. Obi-Wan smiled and nodded his thanks before pacing the room. What had Anakin done now? Coming up with no other solution, he pulled out his communicator in an attempt to talk to his padawan.

Anakin was meditating in the middle of the penthouse suite that he now shared with his wife, Padmé. Although his official residence was still the Jedi temple, no one noticed he didn't stay there anymore, as he only stayed there on rare occasions beforehand anyway. He was trying to focus on controlling his emotions, Anakin had never given this practice much thought before. He found it a waste of time trying to control the very emotions that made him want to be a Jedi in the first place. However, with his new guarded secret and unease at the temple he thought he should practice it a little more to avoid suspicion. It was still very early in the morning, the sun was just beginning to show through the dense clouds that covered Coruscant. His breathing was slow and steady as he meditated, focussing on controlling his emotions. A small beeping sounded, Anakin quickly picked up the communicator and hurried to the balcony, desperate to avoid waking his wife, who slept peacefully in the bedroom.

"Hello," he answered, curious as too who was callling him this early. Obi-Wan's hologram appeared on the small circular device. Anakin maintained his composure, despite the shock and confusion he felt.

"Anakin, where are you?"

"I couldn't sleep Master, I went out," Which was technically half true, the only reason Anakin had come away from his beautiful wife was because he was restless and didn't want to wake her.

"I need to talk to you about something, something important,"

"Yes Master, I'm on my way," Anakin cut the transmission and threw the device onto the floor, it skidded along the balcony from the power of his anger. 'Why am I so angry? It's a perfectly reasonable request.' Anakin thought. He picked up the comminicator and scribbled a note to Padmè. Even if he left the appartment in the early hours he was usually back for breakfast, but he had a feeling that he would not see her until much later. Pulling on his Jedi robes he made his way over to the Jedi temple.

Obi-Wan was waiting at the entrance for Anakin, he stood up from his leaning position as Anakin ran up the stairs.

"Master," Anakin bowed his head respectfully. "You wanted to speak to me."

Obi-Wan nodded then looked round. "Not here Anakin," guiding his young apprentice away from the temple. As the pair walked down the long steps of the temple a confused Anakin queried his master on what he wanted to speak to him about.

"What is going on with you? You've never been this focussed on controlling your emotions,"

"That's what this is about? Master surly we could've had this conversation later at the temple..."

"I'm not finished Anakin. I had heard a rumor that you stayed with Senetor Amidala earlier this week," Anakin stayed silent. They had come to a stop across the way from the temple. Obi-Wan looked at his padawan and shook his head slightly "Anakin..."

"Since when did you listen to rumors Master? Besides, what does it matter that I saw Padmè, she's an old friend, the only thing I have left apart from you Master,"

"Be mindful of your thoughts, you are not supposed to have emotional attachments," Obi-Wan reprimanded. It was clear to him that he wasn't going to get anything out of his padawan yet, instead he suggested that they start their training now rather then later in the morning. Anakin nodded and silently followed his master into the Jedi temple.

Padmè woke up fairly early compared to her usual habits. She instantly noticed the absence of her husband's comforting body heat. Assuming he would be waiting for her, she got up and wrapped a soft silk robe around her small frame, her head throbbing as she stood up. She clutched her head and softly padded into the main room of the appartment, finding the note that Anakin had left for her.

Gone to talk with Obi-Wan, hopefully won't be too long - Ani X

Padmè smiled softly and got a glass of water. Sipping it she thought about what she had to do for today. She wasn't feeling up to doing alot today, her head hurt and she wasn't feeling the best. The only thing she could find in her mental diary was a compulsory medical exam. After the assassination attempts the Senate thought it would be best to be sure that everything was okay. Padmè had been reluctant to go but with how she felt this morning she was beginning to think it was a good idea. She managed a small breakfast whilst talking to C-3PO and soon began to get ready to start her day.

She sat in the waiting room of the doctors waiting for the results to comeback. They had offered her a phonecall later that afternoon with the results but Padmè preferred face to face contact, especially since she had nothing else to do. As she was a Senetor she had top priorty so she wouldn't have to wait all day. Half an hour later the doctor called her back to discuss the results.

"Sorry for the wait Senetor," She began.

"No worries, I had nothing else to do for today, a rare occasion for my life. I welcomed the peace and quiet to be honest," Padmè smiled. The doctor scanned over the notes and smiled.

"Well everything seems to be in order Senetor, congratulations,"

"Congratulations?" Padmè asked in confusion.

"Yes, you're pregnant Senetor,"
