Chapter 43 – Snips and Skyguy
Ahsoka just sat down on one of the couches of the Skywalkers living room, covering her legs with the warm blanket and watching the screen in front of her, going through the many channels.
She got a message from Luke and Ines, telling her that they just left Mon Mothma's home, and the Senator driver was the one taken them, while their parents still decided to stay at the party for a little longer, so they would be there in less than 20 minutes.
Looking at the windows, she saw the drops of rain on it, showing that it would be another rainy and cold night.
She was ready to wait for Luke and Ines to return, when she heard some noises towards her left. Looking at that direction she saw Alli, in her pajamas that had her father's green lightsaber pictures on it, rubbing her right eye and hold on her left hand the stuffed toy of Luke that her uncle Han had gave to her and her sister years ago on Life Day.
"Aunt Ahsoka," she said in her still sleepy voice, as she approached her.
"Alli, sweetheart, what are you doing out of bed, in the cold?"
The little got closer to her.
"Mama and Papa are not home yet."
Ahsoka couldn't help to smile while she took Alli's hair away from her eyes.
"They are about to arrive sweetie. Don't worry. You can go back to bed cause I'm sure when they arrive, they will go there and give you a goodnight kiss."
"I want to wait for them," she pouted.
Ahsoka knew that no matter what she would say, Alli would not change her mind, even know the little girl was sleepy.
"Come here," she said and putting the blanket aside, Alli sat right beside her, and covering the 4 years old girl, Ahsoka just wrapped her left arm around her smiling when she rest her head on her torso.
Looking at the toy that Alli was hugging, Ahsoka smiled.
"May I see the toy you are holding?"
Looking at her, Alli nod and handle the toy.
Ahsoka examine the toy, which was Luke in his Battle of Endor black suit, with the poncho, and had his lightsaber hanging on his waist.
"That's Papa when he was in the Ewok planet," Alli explain looking at the Togruta.
"Really? And you know the Ewoks planet?"
"Yes," she replied. "We camped there and I celebrate my birthday there too."
"That's nice. Did you like it?"
"Yeah," the 4 years old nod.
"And who gave this toy to you?" she asked handled the toy to Alli, who hugged it right away.
"Uncle Han as a present on Life Day. Padmé has mama with her."
"You got a lot of presents on Life Day, didn't you?"
Alli nod.
"Yeah, but I don't think the Ancient Wookiee will give me presents this year," she said out of nowhere.
"Because of what you did back in your Papa's planet? Running away towards the canyon?"
"Yeah, and also the big tantrum I did too."
Ahsoka glare at Alli with wide eyes.
"You made a tantrum!?"
"I know. Shocking right?" the little girl said shaking her head, making Ahsoka laughed and pulling her closer she kissed the top of her head.
"Indeed. Normally is your twin sister who makes tantrums. Not you. Why did you do a tantrum?"
"Cause I didn't want to do my chores," she said looking at her.
"I'm sure your Papa was not happy, wasn't he?"
"No," Alli reply shaking her head. "I was in time out until I accept to do my chores."
"So you did at the end? And said sorry?"
"Yeah, the two times," Alli answered showing her two fingers at Ahsoka, which made her giggled at the little girl.
"Then I'm sure the Ancient Wookiee will forgive you and will give you presents this year. If you behave for the rest of the year."
"Really? I will," she said, and started yawning.
Ahsoka knew that the little girl was fight the sleep so she could be awake until her parents arrived, but she knew that sooner or later she would be fall asleep on her lap, and minutes later that was exactly what she was doing, resting her head on Ahsoka, the little Skywalker twin was asleep, making Ahsoka smiling at her. She was happy that she had return to Coruscant and stayed with Anakin's children and meet his grandchildren that she loved like they were her nephews and nieces.
"I'm glad you are here to help not only my own kids, but to watching and helping protecting my grandchildren."
Looking up she smiled when she saw her old master.
"Anakin," she said, and looking back towards the sleeping 4 years old girl, she ran her left hand on her girl's blonde hair, while Alli was still sleeping peacefully cuddling into her. "I love these kids like they are mine own nieces and nephews. And I have to say I'm happy when they called me Aunt Ahsoka. Besides I see Luke and Leia like my nephew and niece, so of course their children are that too. And let's be honest, how can we not see these cute kids and fell in love with them right away?" she giggled looking at Anakin, who nod a sat next to her, looking at his sleeping granddaughter.
"And they makes us laugh with their answers too."
"Well, children at this age are always honest, but yes, sometimes the answers they give. But no surprise on that, after all they are Skywalkers," she said looking at Anakin.
"I take that as complement, Snips."
"You know I don't like when you call me that," she replied. "Do you know how is little Ani?"
"Still with a fever, but he is getting better. But seeing him so quiet, when we all know he is the troublemaker of the two boys, it makes me sad."
"I agree. I prefer to watch him running around non stop. But kids recover fast, so in no time he will be fine. After all he took after his mother and father too."
"And what happened to this little cutie?" Anakin asked looking at Alli.
"Well apparently your granddaughter can't sleep without her parents being at home."
"She is very attached towards them, and towards everyone," Anakin smile.
"This galaxy will be such in good hands."
"That I agree. And let's face when she gets older, it will be my son and my daughter in law who will be in this position." He replied with a smile but the he got serious while he looked at Ahsoka and she what he was about to say.
"Anakin, nothing will happen to her. Luke is right now, one the most powerful Jedi that exist, and Ines is pretty powerful too and don't mess with a mother's kid. I'm on their side and more Jedi will appear. Leia is getting better and better. And his students are pretty damn good. She will be fine. We have gathering strong allies. Thrawn will not touch a single hair from her."
"I know. I know she is very well protected and I know everything will be fine at the end. But I wish I could do something. I feel useless being a Force Ghost and know I can't do anything to protect my own granddaughter." he sighed frustrated.
"We are here. You are a great grandfather, even in a form of a Force Ghost. And I'm glad you are here. These children need their grandfather, since only Luke's kids have one physically in Ken Talia. And both have their grandmother in Padmé. Ines's mother is dead, but you can be here, talk to them."
"But I can't hug them and kiss them and play with them."
"But you can say you love them every time. I think that's enough for them. Seeing their grandfather and know he loved them," Ahsoka said. "And be near your kids too."
"True. I'm glad I'm here thanks to my son."
"He looks like you but he has his mother personality. Your daughter on the other hand she looks like you in terms of that for sure," she laughed a little cause she didn't want to wake up Alli.
"That means nobody will mess with her," he winked. Standing up, Anakin took a last look on his granddaughter Alli. "I have to go for now. Tomorrow I will return cause I promise my grandson Ben I would watch the series with him. Goodnight Ahsoka, and sleep well my sweet Alli."
With a smile he vanished, making Ahsoka looking at Alli. She would not allow anything happened to this little girl or any of Luke and Leia's kids.
Alli can't sleep without having her parents at home. And what did you think of the talk between Ahsoka and Anakin?
