Light in the Darkness
Chapter Nine
-Six Months Later-
Anakin let out a sigh of relief in as the moving droids unloaded the last of the boxes in the foyer of their new apartment in 500 Republica, the most sought after apartment building in all of Coruscant. Obi-wan opened a box and started shelving boxes full of holodisks and holocrons onto the selves in the corner of the sitting area. Anakin skipped around the spacious apartment towards the kitchen opening the cooling cabinet to see it filled to the brim with a various selection of food from all around the galaxy.
"This place is just full of surprises," said Anakin happily.
Obi-wan looked up at Anakin with a look of utmost exasperation, "Only you can get excited over food in an amazing apartment like this Ani," he replied rolling his eyes. Obi-wan carried a small box into the refresher and left it resting on the counter returning to the sitting area piled high with boxes.
"I still can't believe Bail gave this to us as a wedding gift," said Anakin glancing around the spacious apartment.
Obi-wan nodded and set out some sculptures (also wedding presents) from all over the galaxy. Anakin sauntered over to Obi-wan to help with unpacking. He opened the box with a wave of his hand and with the help of the Force pictures glided over to the walls attaching themselves to it with minimal effort.
"Cheater," hissed Obi-wan struggling to move a massive vase into the corner.
"Genius," corrected Anakin with his classic smirk.
Anakin unloaded another box with a wave of his hand and one of the little jars fell to the floor shattering, "Yep, quite the genius," replied Obi-wan cleaning up the ruined jar.
Anakin pretended to pout and continued unloading the boxes. A Nubian lamp found itself to rest on an end table constructing itself and luxurious curtains glided over to the windows, created out of the finest silks from Serenno.
Anakin peered out the window seeing the Jedi Temple in the distance. He stepped out onto the main veranda of the apartment and leaned against the marble railing watching the skylanes stream by far below. Anakin turned towards Obi-wan joining him and felt his calloused hands slide effortlessly around his muscular frame pulling him into a close embrace.
Anakin turned towards Obi-wan kissing him gently, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"What is so special?" asked Obi-wan raising his eyebrows.
"We finally can be carefree, hold each other close forever, this is exactly what we wanted," said Anakin breathlessly.
"Only took saving the galaxy a few times," replied Obi-wan begrudgingly.
"Oh shut up. You're ruining the moment."
Obi-wan's eyes bored into Anakin's for a while.
"Fine."
Anakin followed Obi-wan back inside and down the hallway leading toward the apartment's bedrooms and sealed the door to the master bedroom in case of any other movers bringing more furniture in. Anakin turned around to see Obi-wan lying on the bed without his tunic, garbed only in his leggings, his lightsaber resting on a nightstand. Anakin laughed at Obi-wan's attempted seductive stare and jumped on the bed beside Obi-wan, kicking off his boots. Obi-wan rolled on top of him his coppery hair falling into his face as he kept his lips barely away from Anakin's. Anakin pulled Obi-wan down to meet him from a passionate kiss, his spare hand running through the older man's hair.
Obi-wan gently eased Anakin's tunic over his shoulders and resumed their kiss claiming Anakin's mouth as his own. Anakin ground his hips into Obi-wan's sending a jolt of pleasure through Obi-wan. Obi-wan let out a low moan. Anakin laughed and inched his leggings down slowly marveling at the older man's hairless body.
Obi-wan stood up removing the rest of his clothing and tossed it down to the rug in front of their massive bed and undressed Anakin as well. Anakin smirked up at Obi-wan as the older man straddled his hips, trying to ignore Anakin's arousal prodding him as he resumed their kiss.
"Ob-wan," groaned Anakin as the older man fondled him with his right hand.
Anakin's comm began to chime on the side of the table. Anakin quickly slid under the cover of the sheets along with Obi-wan before answering the call. The pixelated image of Bant appeared, "Grand Master Skywalker I have some news for you. Surprising as it may come too you both."
"This isn't really a good time," grumbled Obi-wan irritably.
"I can tell," smiled Bant, "Anyway, this came as a surprise to me as well."
"Get out with it already Bant," laughed Anakin.
"I think it may concern Padme…" she started sizing up Anakin's reaction as the smile slid off of his face, "A few days before her death, a pregnant patient was admitted into the maternity ward and twins were conceived. I glanced over the files and I noticed that the twins shared your DNA Anakin. You're the father. Padme gave birth just before she died."
Anakin stared at Bant in utter shock, the world stopping around him, "My children are alive?! Where are they?" asked Anakin nearly jumping out of bed before using his good judgment and deciding against it.
"Thank you for not jiggling you genitals in front of my artificial face Skywalker," said Bant still cheerful as ever, "Anyway, the kids were taken by Sola to Naboo."
Obi-wan forced Anakin back into bed again, "Thanks again, Bant. You have no idea what this means to me."
"I think I do," she said with a smile, "Put some clothes on Skywalker, first impressions are everything." She ended the call and Anakin leapt out of bed throwing on his tunic. Obi-wan sulked behind him and redressed. Anakin turned around, "We'll finish off later," smiled Anakin.
It took over a day through hyperspace travel to finally arrive above Naboo. Anakin piloted the Jedi shuttle down into Naboo's atmosphere and descended upon the outskirts of Theed landing in the meadow by the lake retreat.
Anakin headed down the ramp bearing down on the house before him as Sola opened the door peeking out curiously, "Anakin?" she asked inquisitively, "Why are you here?"
"Where's Luke and Leia?" asked Anakin, unintentionally brash.
"How did you know-"
"Because I'm their father Sola," replied Anakin firmly.
Sola's eyes widened at this, "She never told me."
"Why didn't Padme tell you we were married?" asked Anakin bewildered.
Sola shrugged beckoning for them to come inside. Anakin ducked into the house and immediately crossed the sitting area over towards the infants resting on a blanket absentmindedly playing with toys. Anakin scooped up his children, tears welling in his eyes, "I can't believe you guys are alive!"
Obi-wan smiled standing beside Anakin staring at the girl, who completely resembled her mother. Luke stared up at Anakin with a curious stare. "Luke, I am your father," whispered Anakin, "Oh, I'm your dad too Leia."
Obi-wan turned to Sola walking with her into the kitchen, "Please let him take back to Coruscant."
Sola nodded, "I was planning on it. This is just what he needs."
Anakin gathered the children tightly in his arms. Obi-wan took them in his gentle caress as Anakin embraced Sola, choking back a sob. "Thank you so much for raising them and for all you've done."
Sola nodded blinking away unshed tears. Anakin took his children back from Obi-wan and walked up the landing ramp of the Jedi shuttle and Obi-wan followed close behind waving good-bye to Sola. The ramp sealed behind them and Obi-wan settled into the pilot's chair and yanked the yoke back lifting the shuttle up into the sky. Obi-wan guided the shuttle away from Theed and up into space plotting a return course to Coruscant.
Obi-wan sighed with relief as the familiar blue streaks of hyperspace filled the viewport and he turned towards Anakin watching his children crawl around the cockpit with a smile on his face. Obi-wan wrapped his arms around Anakin, watching them play as well, "They're beautiful Ani."
Supreme Chancellor Bail Organa held up his hand for silence, quelling the deafening war of applause from the Senators gathered in their pods in the Congressional Hall. "On to another matter that has come to my attention as of late," began Bail, "After the recent Alderaan-Coruscant crisis, I have decided that perhaps it is best for the Grand Army of the Republic to be reinstated to discourage others from threatening the peace and prosperity that has recently befallen the Republic."
A roar of approval filled most of the hall. The pod from the Neimoidian faction of the Trade Federation descended towards the Chancellor's podium circling around it slowly, "Chancellor Organa, the peacetime protocols must be upheld! The Ruusan Reformation Acts disbanded any form of galactic military millennia ago."
"The Ruusan Reformation Act was disbanded with the start of the Clone Wars, Senator," reminded Bail flatly, "All in favor of the return of the Clone Army?" asked Bail.
A thunderous roar of consent carried through the entire hall and Rex bear-hugged Cody from one of the observation platforms the Jedi usually used to oversee meetings.
Cody smiled at Rex and their fingers intertwined for a moment. Rex headed outside already seeing the Venator-class warships rising from the Works in the distance. "That was fast," commented Captain Rex. They stared down at the military staging ground and vault that had been constructed at the start of the Clone Wars. The great doors slowly opened and millions of Clone troopers marched out in a uniform line, free of their imprisonment in carbonite for later use.
Cody held Rex close, "I wonder if Stone and the others heard anything about this."
Rex shrugged his shoulders before kissing his lover passionately. Cody wrapped his arms around Cody's waist watching felling the last rays of sunlight die away.
Anakin laid Leia and Luke in the recently built crib in the bedroom adjacent to their own master bedroom. Obi-wan leaned against the doorway smiling down at Anakin, clothed only in his underwear. Anakin rose from the crib and walked out of the room feeling Obi-wans arms wrap around him protectively.
He leaned in his coppery locks tickling Anakin's cheek, "You have a promise to fulfill," he whispered with a seductive purr.
Anakin smiled and closed their door behind them before turning on Obi-wan kissing him with renewed passion. Their lips fit together so perfectly, two pieces of a puzzle meant to be joined. Anakin pulled Obi-wan close drinking in his scent. Obi-wan ground his hips into Anakin's earning a sexy groan as a reward.
Anakin picked up Obi-wan his hands around the older man's ass, Obi-wan smirked at Anakin's lust-filled expression and wrapped his legs around Anakin's waist feeling the soft touch of the fabric of their bed sheets welcoming him graciously.
Anakin stripped Obi-wan's underwear off of him freeing his entrapped arousal. Anakin trailed his tongue up most of the shaft and took in several inches of his cock at once working around the shaft with his tongue as he did so. Obi-wan ran his fingers through Anakin's hair, forcing him down further gently. Anakin adeptly slid his lips down further, kissing his abdomen now. Obi-wan moaned loudly, "More Anakin!" he pleaded.
Anakin obliged deepthroating his husband again and again earning moan after moan, each increasing in volume and their intensity. Anakin pulled off of Obi-wan finally and flipped the older man over eager to claim his own reward.
Anakin gently slid into the older man at first, fully sheathing his massive length inside of him. Obi-wan moaned quietly feeling ecstasy take its beautiful hold.
Anakin placed his hands on his Master's waist and began to thrust in and out Obi-wan at a faster pace. Obi-wan balled his hands into fists his fingers clinging to the bed sheets. Anakin kept at it, encouraged by Obi-wan's moans.
Obi-wan panted, "F-Fuck Ani."
Anakin clenched his eyes shut tight feeling wave after wave of pleasure wash over him. Anakin pounded relentlessly into Obi-wan feeling the both of them on the verge of no return.
Obi-wan cried out after a few moments, "Ahhhh! ANI!" he roared as he released his hot seed all over the bed. Anakin grunted, seriously turned on and released his own load inside Obi-wan filling the man up consequently.
"That was worth the wait!" panted Obi-wan, running his fingers through his messy hair. Anakin smirked at the comment and jumped out of bed heading to the refresher. The sound of running water filled the bedroom. "Are you joining me or not?" asked Anakin peering out from the doorway at Obi-wan still sprawled out on the bed.
"Sure."
Anakin smiled closing the refresher door behind Obi-wan eagerly shoving the older man into the shower playfully.
Ziost
The skies above the desolate world of Ziost raged in an eternal war, lightning raining hell down on the planet below it leaving deep scars in the surface.
"The dark side is strong here," commented a woman standing beside a man concealed by a black cowl.
Her Master nodded taking a breath to let the dark energies circulate through him. "Adonnexus and Sidious failed in executing the Grand Plan. We will have to bide our time my apprentice."
"And why is that milord?"
"Luke and Leia Skywalker must have the time to mature to adulthood. Then the boy will fall sway to the dark side," replied the man turning towards his apprentice.
"Why not Skywalker's daughter?" asked the apprentice curiously.
"I sense she will have too much of her mother in her."
"What is thy bidding my Master?" asked the woman her feature concealed by the hood draped over her face.
"If we are to bring the galaxy to its knees once more, we are going to need chaos to spread. Take the Relentless to Hypori. I'm sure the droid factories are inactive, but still functional. We need to occupy the Grand Army if we are to enact our plan in an accelerated fashion," he began, "After you have activated the factories travel to Mygeeto, there you will find a power generator, providing energy to the deactivated droid factories. Bring me the crystals found inside the generator."
"As you wish."
A/N: A shorter chapter than usual. I hope that part of it didn't disappoint you. On the bright side, Anakin and Obi-wan had sex and Anakin found Luke and Leia. So that makes up for it…
Review, follow, favorite, the usual.
Oh, and PM me with feedback if you're review shy.
Bant formally requests that you do not jiggle your genitals in front of her face, artificial or otherwise.
