Ahsoka Skywalker's POV
I sat on the gigantic bed, waiting for Anakin.
He grinned as he scrubbed his wet hair with a towel before slipping on some pants. He didn't mind being shirtless as long as nobody but me was here.
"Ani..." I breathed, looking down at our hands. "What are we going to do? What are we going to do with the Council?"
Anakin hushed me, taking my hands into his. He sat down next to me, eyeing me as he spoke. "Love, don't worry about it. We'll find witnesses to help us in this situation. We've been through worse, haven't we?"
He had a point. "Well... Yeah, we have. But I mean... How can they see our children as a threat? They aren't killers... They are barely babies! And Shmi wouldn't do that, she's too involved into life without actually knowing the Jedi."
Anakin frowned, looking away from us. "I know... I don't like the fact of the Jedi wanting to execute the kids but, love, I promise you that I will protect them and you at any cost." he told me, his voice taken over by pain and anger. "Ahsoka, just being away from them hurts my heart... Imaging them away from me forever hurts even more... Possibly it will hurt enough to kill me."
I held back the tears as I stared a him and, then, at our babies. Zevark started whimpering which slowly turned into a wail. Anakin rose up to his feet and picked up Zevark into his arms, patting his back softly. Our son began to quite down as Anakin bounced him up and down carefully in his arms and hushed him. When it didn't work, Anakin laid Zevark on the bed.
I watched in awe when I knew what he was planning to do. He sang the song that I dedicated to my mother so many years ago when she was in the hospital.
"White walls surround us,
No light will touch your face again.
Rain taps the window,
as we sleep among the dead.
Days go on forever,
but I have not left your side.
We can chase the dark together.
If you go then so will I.
There is nothing left of you.
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels,
and say the last goodbye.
Cold light above us.
Hope fills the heart,
and fades away.
Skin white as winter,
as the sky returns to grey.
Days go on forever,
but I have not left your side.
We can chase the dark together.
If you go then so will I.
There is nothing left of you.
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels,
and say the last goodbye.
I keep holding onto you,
but I can't bring you back to life.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels.
Then say the last goodbye.
You're dead alive,
you're dead alive.
You're dead alive,
you're dead alive.
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels.
And say the last goodbye.
I keep holding onto you,
but I can't bring you back to life,
Sing the Anthem of the Angels,
and say the last goodbye.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels,
and say the last goodbye.
Sing the Anthem of the Angels."
Zevark was passed out within seconds. He quivered his lower lip as we watched him. His hair looked pitched black underneath the moonlight, his skin was paler and when his eyes were open, they glowed the beautiful blue.
Anakin picked him up, carefully and placed him back into his crib.
I began to lie down as Anakin climbed on top of me. He rested his head on my chest while I played with his hair.
I continued humming the song which always brings tears into my eyes. The song is just so... I couldn't even describe how beautiful it was.
"Soka... What are you thinking about right now?" he asked me, his head remaining on my chest.
"The song you just sang to Zevark... Why?" I interrogated, smiling.
I felt his shrug. "Just curious." he told me, looking up to see me with his beautiful blue eyes.
I arched an eyemarking, giggling as he touched my lips. "What are we going to do, Ani?"
He knew what I was talking about. "Right now nothing -" I was about object but he stopped me by continuing. "Tomorrow we will contact the Jedi we truly trust."
I nodded, stoking his cheek. "I love you."
He smiled. "I love you more."
Anakin kissed my cheeks before devouring my lips. I giggled before Anakin joined in and chuckled as we separated for breath.
He hitched my leg up around his waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Anakin started to thrust his lower half against me, sending warm chills all over my body.
I closed my eyes as he continued to do that. We both moaned quietly as his pace began to speed up.
"Anakin..." I gasped, my hands roaming all over his wet chest.
His hand slid up my nightgown, rubbing my bare leg. Anakin kissed my neck hungrily as I whimpered.
He pulled back; his face was clearly overtaken by worry. "Are okay? Do you -?"
I shook my head. "No..." I whispered, leaning up for his lips.
The entire night was a beautiful bliss of happiness. A happiness love that I would never forget.
