(Ileema Kenobi's POV)
Two days ago, my brother's former padawan commed the Jedi Temple. He told us that he felt at least one very bright Force presence on the planet nearest to him. And that planet, was his former home. The Outer Rim planet, by the name of Tatooine. A planet covered in sand, controlled by the Hutt crime lord, Jabba the Hutt.
Plo-Koon has decided to come with me to meet Anakin since he is one of the most popular masters among the younglings. He also doesn't look very threatening. Anakin will be landing in the 501st hangar, and we have both volunteered to meet him. And I decided to bring along my clone commander, Logan. Since we aren't sure of how many children he has with him.
A shuttle lands in front of us, and the ramp comes down. Anakin and his clone captain, Rex, I believe is his name, walk out. Both of them are holding the hand of a toddler, and both of the children seem to be strong in the Force. Anakin and Rex walk toward us, Anakin with a smile, and since Rex has his helmet removed, I can see him very nearly scowling. It seems Rex has spent too much time with my brother's clone commander, Cody.
When the two get close to us, I say, "Anakin, Rex, would one of you please explain."
"I told you when I commed the Council."
"No, you gave us a guess as to what was happening. What I want is a full explanation, with all of the details you can remember. Do not leave a single thing out."
Anakin sighs, and Rex smirks. I suppose he told Anakin that this would happen.
"Like I told the Council, we were near Tatooine when I sensed a strong Force presence. Since the Council gave me permission-"
"You would have done it anyway," I point out.
"That's beside the point. But since the Council gave me permission to investigate, I did. I tracked the presence to a moisture farm in the middle of the desert. The farm belonged to my step-brother, Owen, and his wife, Beru. They told me about how the twins had started to levitate things when they were about six months old. And my mother told me that I did the same thing. So I told them that even though the twins weren't on the Jedi's radar, I could still bring them to the Temple. Owen and Beru agreed, and I brought them back to the Resolute. Then brought them here. Both of them are almost three years old now. Owen and Beru also have another kid, a son. His name is Chase Skywalker, he's only about a year old though, so I just brought the two of them."
Anakin then gives the boy's hand to Rex, and turns around to go back inside the shuttle. The little boy seems glad to be closer to Rex, I wonder why?
Plo nods, then asks, "What are their names?"
"Luke and Leeda Skywalker. General Skywalker's mother has been like a mother to both Mr. and Mrs. Lars, so the two of them said that they wanted to honor her by having their ade (ade - kids) have her last name. At least that's what they told us."
Plo, Logan, and I nod. Then I crouch down in front of the two little children that are standing beside Rex. The little girl's hair is very dark, and it looks like her mother did it in a braid just before the two twins left. The darkness of her hair goes very well with her tan skin and dark blue eyes. She's adorable right now, and will most likely be absolutely beautiful when she's grown.
Luke though, has dirty blonde hair instead of dark brown. But he does have tan skin that matches his sister's along with blue eyes the same shade as Leeda's. He's adorable too, and seems to be the one who is more shy since he's nearly hiding behind Rex, while Leeda is standing beside him.
"Hello, Luke. Hello, Leeda. I'm Ileema Kenobi, it's nice to meet you both."
Leeda nods to me, before looking at Logan and tilting her head. Rex crouches down and says to the two of them, "That's my ori'vod (ori'vod - big brother), Logan. He looks mean, but he's really just a fluffy and squishy pillow inside."
Logan scoffs, and says, "I do not look mean, Rex'ika. (Nickname for Rex.) You know that it's insulting to anyone in our batch when we're compared to anyone in Bacara's batch. Our batch is jatnese be te jatnese anyway." (Jatnese be te jatnese - The best of the best)
Leeda looks at her brother, and then starts to giggle. Luke giggles too, and both of them laugh at the two clones. Rex lets go of their hands, and Luke walks over to Plo, while Leeda walks over to Logan and I. She grabs both my hand and Logan's, before turning to face Rex.
"Ret'urcye mhi, ori'vod." (Ret'urcye mhi, ori'vod - Maybe we'll meet again, big brother)
"Ba'slan shev'la, vod'ika?" Logan asks. (Ba'slan shev'la, vod'ika - Strategic disappearance, little brother)
"Cui ogir'olar." (Cui ogir'olar - It's irrelevant.)
Logan laughs before grasping Rex's forearm, and they shake hands. If I remember correctly, Rex, and my captain, Kya, are batch mates. But they were adopted, in a way, by the commander batch that Cody and Logan are in, after the rest of their batch was decommissioned. At least we were able get them more time together since we managed to find a way to stop their advanced aging. All of the clones cried when they learned that their advanced aging could be cured and they could have more time with their vode (vode - brothers). It was sweet, and Plo-Koon and I both cried as well.
"Bye, ba'vodu!" both of them say, waving at Rex as he leaves. (ba'vodu - uncle)
"Ret'urcye mhi, ade." (Ret'urcye mhi, ade - Maybe we'll meet again, kids.)
I smile at Rex and shake my head. It figures that he would teach them Mando'a. Rex is one of the clones who is very proud to be cloned from a Mandalorian, that whole batch is. Plo laughs lightly, then picks Luke up to talk to him. We walk the twin Skywalkers to the creche and find the Clawmouse Clan.
Logan tells the two goodbye in Mando'a, before he heads off to either the the barracks assigned to the men of the 345, or our quarters. Most likely the latter. After talking with Delaney Moor, an old friend of mine from when I was in the creche, about where the twins are from, Plo and I head to the Council room.
When we arrive, the only other master there is my former master. Who is also the grandmaster of the Order, Master Yoda. Plo and I take our seats, and wait for the other members of the council to comm. After the last of the council members have arrived, we begin the meeting.
"Met the children, Ileema and Plo-Koon did. Their names, what are?"
Plo responds, "Luke and Leeda Skywalker."
"Skywalker?" Depa says. "Are there any others aside from the two of them and Knight Skywalker?"
"Two," I say. "One of them is Anakin's mother, and the other is the twins' younger brother. Anakin did not bring him to the Temple today because he is only a year old. But Luke and Leeda are both three, so he brought the two of them but left Chase on Tatooine."
All of the other Masters nod, and we resume talking about the twins. Once the council meeting has ended, I go back to mine and Logan's quarters. When I arrive, I only see a cup set out, though there isn't anything in it but it does smell like caff. Logan must have had some when he came in. I used to only keep tea, but when Logan and I were married, I started keeping caff in my quarters.
I go into the bedroom, and it looks like he only got as far as removing his armor before he crashed. Though, we did only get back from the last campaign a couple of hours before we had to meet Anakin, so neither of us have gotten much sleep in the past... two weeks, I think.
I remove my day robes, and slip into my night robes. Then I lay beside Logan, and he opens his eyes slightly, before rolling over and laying his arm over my middle. I lean my head so that it rests against his bicep. And before I know it, I've fallen asleep.

A/N: If anyone has any names that you would like to see as well that would be nice, because I'm running out of names that I like for stories. But I would happily take character names, bios, and ideas from the comments. I do read them, and I do usually respond to them when I get them. Sorry for the long note!
