Anakin's POV
I finally got to take my daughter home after 2 months. (Thank god!) To me… staying there was like going to hell for who knows how long. I'm just glad I get to go home and… awe damn!
Obi-Wan was there in my dorm, sitting on the couch, drinking his herb tea. I hate tea, ugh! It's just hot water with plants in it to add flavor. Of course, that's what Mr. Negotiator calls it, I just call it crap.
He rose from his sitting position, placed his tea down on the coffee table, and eyed the sleeping child in my arms.
"Anakin, I need to talk to you." He announced, meaning every word.
I hesitated, but nodded. I strolled to my daughter's room, (that Ahsoka planned for months) and placed her to sleep. I left quickly, but quietly. I, then, turned to face him. "What's up, old man?" I joked, though I stopped laughing when his face became dead serious.
"Anakin, I'm sorry to tell you this…." He trailed off, looking away.
I froze and stared solemnly at him. "What is it?" I demanded, my voice deepened.
He took a deep breath, but final answered. "Shmi is leaving tomorrow at the start of dawn."
I began to tremble in fear, anger and depression. Tears filled my eyes. "No! She will not be taken away from me! I won't allow it!"
"She has no right to see you in misery!"
"Oh, so you think taking her away from me will make me better?" I asked with sarcasm. I began to laugh darkly.
Obi-Wan came to place his hand on top of my shoulder. "It's better this way, Anakin."
I jerked from his touch. "Yeah, right." My frown deepened.
"Ahsoka wouldn't mind this."
I froze, my fists balled up tightly on my sides. I turned around to punch him in the face. "Don't you dare drag Ahsoka into this!" I barked as he rubbed his chin.
"I'm sorry, Anakin." He began to walk away.
My emotions were all mixed up I actually shot lightning out of my fingers. Obi-Wan yelled in pain as I threw him out the door, still electrocuting him. "It's not your decision! You will not take her from me!"
Obi-Wan's POV
'What in the blazes just happened?' I asked myself. I didn't know… well actually I did know he would react like this. He's too loving and caring, especially when it comes to Ahsoka and Shmi.
Then, I heard something…
Anakin's POV
I leaned against the balcony, eyeing the city as the tears began to pour again. "I won't let them take Shmi away, Love." I, then, smirked and let out a small laugh. "I'll love you every day, 'Soka. Until I die…"
I began to coo quietly to her as I remembered our moments together until our last.
"Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me one last time
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright, let's give this another try
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright, let's give this another try
It's alright, it's alright.
It's alright, it's alright.
It's alright, it's alright.
It's alright, it's alright.
It's alright."
I began to sob.
