Meagan comes back to Star Wars and meets up with now Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Follows the movies, but is an AU. (Caution.) Ours does have a bit of a twist to it. Obi-Wan and Meagan have now gotten married and are living happily in the Jedi Temple, with Anakin still being trained.


Chapter Twenty,


I stood at the window at my room in the palace on Naboo, staring at the stars. The sky was bright and the lights twinkled in the velvety darkness. I leaned my cheek against the cool of the window pane, missing Obi-Wan terribly. We had been apart many times since our marriage, but now, it seemed harder. Sighing, I stretched out with the Force, feeling comforted by the love I felt with our daughter.

"Meagan?" My thoughts were almost rudely interrupted by a knocking on my door.

"Come in." I turned from the window as Padme Naberrie Amidala walked into the room.

"Jedi Master Jema Deford is on the holomessenger for you." She informed me.

I nodded, wondering what Jema wanted. "I'll be there in a moment."

"Alright." She turned to go, but paused before turning back to me. "Do you know where the communication room is?"

I quickly thought back to my previous trip and found I was coming up with absolutely nothing. "Give me a moment and I'll be with you."

She nodded and stepped outside the room while I found my shoes and robe, putting them on. We spoke very little as we walked through the halls of the exotic palace. When we entered the room, I was guided to a screen and immediately activated it to see my friend sitting by the messenger in our office at the Jedi Temple.

"Meagan, are you alright?" Jema immediately greeted me.

"Hello to you too." I couldn't help but sass back.

"I heard what happened with you being held hostage."

I sighed, hoping that it wasn't all over the Temple. "I take it's going around the Temple."

"Actually, I heard it from the Council after the Jedi teams reported what happened." She paused, sensing my relief. "Are you alright?"

"I'm a little tired, but everything is fine."

Jema knew that was all she was going to get on that subject. "The Council told me that the relocation is going well."

I nodded. "We've already had several groups being settled in Theed and other towns throughout the planet. I'm mostly helping keep things organized and counseling them."

Jema seemed pleased. "Good, you don't need to be doing anything more than that right now."

"Anyway, we have only a couple more groups to go, so that shouldn't take too much longer. Most of the resettling will be a longer process where the natives will help."

"The Council told the Jedi that too, so I believe all of you will be coming back sometime after the last group is somewhat settled."

I nodded. "Thanks for telling me. I hadn't seen the Jedi in close to a week. I've been on Naboo this entire time, while they've been going back and forth."

"Then we will see you when you get back. Make sure you keep a record of what happened. The Council and our office will want a full report."

"I know." Writing reports wasn't my favorite thing to do, nor was it Obi-Wan's, but we did it anyway. "How are things there?"

Our business part of the discussion was over, so I felt it safe to discuss more pleasant things. "Same as usual. The staff says hello and sends their best wishes to you and the team."

"Thanks......have you seen Obi-Wan and Anakin?"

Jema shook her head. "Not since about a week ago. They left planet, but he didn't tell me any details. So, most likely he'll be gone when you get back. Though, he did say that you'd better get your proper rest when you get back and see the Healer's."

I couldn't help but laugh, even though I knew it was going to be a while before we saw each other again. "That sounds like my husband. He's gotten so protective and it drives me crazy."

Jema laughed. "He's just trying to be a good husband and father."

"I know."

"What are you going to tell him when you both get back?"

I sighed. "Not sure. He's going to burst a blood vessel over this."

"He'll find out." Somehow Jema seemed to sense that I was seriously thinking of not telling Obi-Wan about the hostage situation.

"You mean you didn't tell him?" Maybe I could actually get away with it.

"Actually I was informed about this shortly after he left, so, no he doesn't know."

"Good." Maybe just maybe.

Jema smiled slightly as the conversation concluded. "Anyway, I'd better go Meagan. We have a staff meeting in a few minutes."

Though I enjoyed talking to my friend, I didn't want to hear her tell me that I had to tell my husband what happened. "Say hi to everyone for me and thanks for calling."

"Your welcome. May the Force be with you."

"And with you." With that I hit the disconnect button and my friend's image vanished.


*******

The next week passed by fast as the last groups came to Naboo. I was enjoying helping these people, but I was ready to go home. I didn't know if I was just homesick, tired, missing Obi-Wan or terrified that something might happen, hurting my baby. Having Dede around helped and I know she missed her husband Marlo. So, it was on a rainy day that Dede, the Jedi and I were leaving, with Padme and several others seeing us off.

Padme and I hugged goodbye "Despite what happened it was good to see you again."

I smiled. "That it was."

She pulled back. "When you see Obi-Wan and Ani, give them my best wishes." She handed me a small data pad. "Can you give this to him?"

Though she hadn't told me that she received a letter from Anakin, the data pad told me otherwise. "I will."

"And congratulations again. I didn't tell Anakin that you told me before he did."

I laughed. "Don't worry, I won't tell him either."

She laughed with me as I turned to go. "I'm assuming we will see you when I'm on Coruscant next time."

"We'll look forward to it." With that I boarded the transport and left for home.

On the way home, we mostly talked, wrote reports and slept. After getting back, reported to the Council and my office, I went straight to bed. The Healer's could wait another couple hours. Besides Jema nearly ordered me to go get some much needed rest.

So, it was later when I wound my way down to the Healers, knowing I had to go, being ordered from the Jedi Council. It wasn't my favorite thing to do, but it was for our best interest and Master Yoda seemed especially concerned.

Master Jessie, the head Healer, greeted me in the front waiting room. "The Council told me that you would be coming down."

I nodded as she led me through the center to an examining room. "I just wanted to get a little settled back in before heading here."

"That's understandable." She paused as she glanced at me. Well, it was more than just a glance. "How do you feel? They gave me a brief report so I could know what to look for."

"I'm just a little tired, but I feel pretty good considering what happened."

She believed this as she helped me sit up on the table for the exam. "Good."

We talked about what happened during the trip and such while she examined me. "She's starting to respond to me in the Force." I had just told her what I felt during the major shoot out at the end of the hostage situation.

Master Jessie glanced up from the notes she was scribing. There was a mixture of surprise and pleasure on her face before she quickly masked it. "Really?"

"She's been doing it since then. I've been feeling her physically too."

She stood up from where she was sitting and came to stand by me, putting her hand on my stomach. She reached out into the Force toward the bright light that was our daughter. The baby was immediately startled and began reaching for me. It was like she was calling for Mommy to help her. I could physically feel her move as if she was trying to hide behind me, expecting me to protect her.

Master Jessie retreated, trying not to laugh. "Well, she obviously knew I was there, but didn't like it. Of course, I can't blame her, she doesn't know me."

I rubbed my middle with affection, calming my little one down. "How is she doing?"

"She's strong in the Force, that much I know for sure." She paused before going on. "Like you, she's tired and just needs some down time. You two, other than being tired, are just fine."

I sighed with relief, glad that the situation didn't cause any problems that I didn't feel. "That's good."

Master Jessie looked at me seriously for a moment before speaking again. "I want you to get a couple day's worth of rest. No working. Come see me again if you don't feel any better in several days."

I nodded, immediately knowing I would have too, but after what happened, I didn't mind. We talked about other things and my medical leave before Master Jessie handed me a date pad.

"Unless I see you sooner, I want you to come by in several weeks, like we've talked about before. You can set up an exact time with one of my assistants. Take this to them and they'll get you set up."

I nodded and turned to leave, glad that besides getting some rest, we were fine.


Obi-Wan's point of view


As Anakin and I walked through the quiet, sleeping halls of the Temple I couldn't help, but feel glad that we were home from this mission. I did enjoy leaving and helping others, but there was something calm, something peaceful about the Temple that was home to me. Of course, it helped that my wife spent a good part of her time at home.

"Master...." I turned, realizing Anakin was talking to me. "You're thinking about Meagan, aren't you?"

I raised an eyebrow, amused that my young Padawan could read me so easily. "Why do you think that?"

"You just looked lost in thought for about a second and that's usually when you are thinking of Meagan." He nearly smirked.

"Is that so?" I mused more to myself than to Anakin.

He laughed as we turned down the hallway toward our separate quarters. "Yes Master."

Before he palmed open his door, I placed a hand on his shoulder. "Except for going to your classes, you have a free day tomorrow. We can resume our regular schedule the day after." After his wide smile, I continued. "However, I highly suggest you to use your time wisely."

He managed to keep a straight face, well knowing what I meant. "Thank you Master."

I smiled. "Good night Anakin."

"Good night. Say hi to Meagan."

"I will." With that I walked the rest of the way to our quarters.

Meagan was already asleep when I got home. As I climbed into bed a little while later, I marveled at the joy I felt in having Meagan as my wife. Just watching her sleep, her dark red hair fanned across the pillow, her arms wrapped around it, was amazing. I reached out and placed my hand on her soft check. Even in her sleep she was beautiful. Sliding in next to her, I curled my arms around her middle, feeling the small bulge that indicated her condition. I sighed deeply, glad to be home with her and holding her close once again.


The next morning I awoke early. I quietly climbed out of bed, letting Meagan sleep. After my usual routine, I ate a light breakfast. Sometime later, I went back to our room, sensing that Meagan had woke up.

"When did you get back?" She asked me as I sat down next to her on the bed.

"Late last night." I told her, pushing some stray curls out of her face. "You were asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you."

She smiled as she snuggled close against me. "That was nice, but you still should have woke me."

I shook my head. "You need your rest."

She fought to not roll her eyes. "It wouldn't have taken much to say hello and got a kiss."

Not wanting to start an argument, I leaned down and kissed her soundly. "Feel better?"

"Much." She grinned, kissing me back.

"How was your trip?" I asked her as she rose out of bed, remembering my unease about her going to Delford. "Anything interesting happen?"

She shrugged as she went into the refresher. "No, everything went fine. It's just that those poor people, having been through so much, and losing their homes."

"How are they doing?" Relocations were never easy.

"On the whole, the people of Delford are fairly well. Some were ready to start a new life and some weren't. Though, they will be mourning their losses for quite a while."

I could tell she was a bit emotional about it, so I decided not to press the issue. If there was more, she would have told me. "How's Dede?"

"She's fine. It was good to have her along with me. Made it a bit easier."

I nodded, coming up from behind her after she changed clothes, pulling her back against me. "You feel okay?"

She turned in my arms. "Just a little tired, but I'll be fine."

We kissed again and held each other for a long moment, just glad to be near each other. She looked like she was about to say something when my comlink started blinking. She stepped away and left the room as I answered the call.

Several minutes later, I found her eating sliced fruit in the dinning area. "I'll be back . The Council wants a report of the mission since we just checked in last night."

She nodded. "Okay."

I gave her another kiss before leaving the room.


The next couple days passed by quickly as Anakin and I picked up our regular Temple schedule and Meagan did her thing, though she said Jema wanted her to rest after her trip. I asked her directly if something happened and if she was alright. Meagan shook her head, saying Jema was overly concerned about her and the baby. But she went along to appease her since she was a little tired. Though, this sounded a little odd to me, Meagan had never lied and I didn't think she would start now. So, I threw it off. If they weren't concerned, I shouldn't be either.

It was one afternoon when I was heading back from a training session when Master Jessie and I nearly ran into each other. After the initial greetings, she placed a hand on my arm. "How's Meagan doing?"

I smiled slightly. "She's fine."

"Good. I told her to get some rest after what happened while she was on Delford."

Now that threw me for a loop and it took me a moment or two to find my voice. "What do you mean happened on Delford?"

"You know the hostage situation....." Her eyes went wide. "Oh, no, she didn't tell you?" "Held hostage?" I couldn't help, but blurt out barely before the Healer finished her explanation about how Meagan and some others were held by some radicals who wanted to take the planet over. "What did she tell you?"

"Actually the Council briefed me about the situation since they told her to come see me. I have her on medical leave till the beginning of next week."

"Is she alright? She's been a little tired, but she's looked fine" I was hoping that she was alright, not lying to me on that issue as well.

"She and the baby are fine besides just being tired. I thought a few days worth of rest would be good for them."

Well, I felt a little bit better. "Thanks for telling me. She didn't mention anything the last day or so."

Master Jessie nodded. "She was probably a little nervous about telling you what happened, and just hadn't figured out how to tell you."

I sighed, wondering why Meagan deliberately hid it from me. "Then I'd best go to her."

She nodded and we both went our separate ways.


Meagan's point of view


I was fixing dinner in the kitchen late one afternoon when Obi-Wan came back in from the training session with Anakin. I turned to him as he entered the room, wanting to ask him what he wanted to drink and if the Padawan would be joining us when I saw the tightly controlled emotions in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" He managed through clinched teeth. "You should be telling me that."

I was truly puzzled as I stared at him, thinking he and Anakin had fought and was taking it out on me. "Obi-Wan what are you talking about?"

He took a step closer and I was starting to shake at what I was reading in his eyes. "Does the words hostage situation mean anything to you?"

I nearly dropped the glass I was holding as I managed to sit it on the counter. I was in trouble now since I had decided not to tell him. I thought I was home free, but now he knew I lied to him. "I'm guessing you found out what happened on Delford."

He nodded. "Meagan, what were you thinking in not telling me what happened?"

"Maybe because I didn't want you to get upset like this. I didn't think you needed to be troubled about this. You have enough to worry about without throwing me in there too." The second the words left my mouth I knew it was the wrong thing to say.

"Meagan, we're married, why wouldn't I want to know? What happens to you happens to me too." He placed his hands on his hips, eyes furious. "Why did you lie to me? I straight out asked you if anything happened on the trip and you told me nothing did."

I looked down. "How did you find out?"

"Master Jessie. We nearly ran into each other and she asked me how you were doing." Obi-Wan took me by the arm, leading me to the couch in the living room. "I didn't want to tell her that I had no idea what she was talking about."

"So, I guess she told you everything."

"She told me enough." He quickly repeated the conversation between them.

I sighed, my lips trembling. I didn't know what was worse, feeling so emotional because he found out, that maybe I should have told him or scared of what he was going to do with me now.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He looked into my eyes, still furious, his voice low and husky. "I'm more upset that you lied to me than with what happened to you."

"Do you tell me every detail of your missions?"

"I tell you everything that I can. Most of the missions Anakin and I go on are classified information that I'm sworn not to divulge to anyone, including my wife"

"That's precisely my point." I hoped that was right on this case.

He just glared at me. "And in this instant, yours wasn't classified. You don't have that excuse."

I crossed my arms across my chest, thinking it was completely unfair that I would sit at home, trying not to worry about missions I would know nothing about and he got every detail concerning mine.

"Meagan." His voice was nearly a growl and I've never seen him this worked up before. "What happened?"

I sat there quietly, trying to decide what to tell him. Finally, I was about to tell him all of it when I felt the life stir within me. She had been cowering in fear during the fight, not only feeling my emotions, but Obi-Wan's as well. She immediately reached for me in the Force, trying to find comfort.

Obi-Wan must have sensed it as I rubbed my stomach, trying to calm both of us down. "What?" He reached toward her and she immediately grabbed onto me as hard as she could.

"It's alright." I sent her. "Mommy's here."

The little one seemed to settle down somewhat as Obi-Wan stared at me for a moment or two. "And when where you going to tell me about that?"

"If you'd hadn't come in here yelling at me, I just might have." With that, I got up, leaving the room, wanting some time alone and time to comfort my little one.

After soaking in a hot tub, and changing into something comfortable, I ventured out into the main area, realizing Obi-Wan wasn't in the apartment. Glad that he was gone, I ate a good-sized meal, knowing that I could wake up in the middle of the night, extremely hungry. I read a bit that evening and went to bed early, trying to sort out the fight. I finally fell into a deep sleep, barely hearing Obi-Wan come in and go to bed.


I woke up slowly the next morning, feeling the baby move in me, and I could feel that she was ready for Mommy to get up and get something to eat. I sighed and rose. After spending a moment in the refresher, I went into the living area. Obi-Wan was in the corner, meditating.

Not wanting to disturb him, I crept into the kitchen, making a cup of tea. I thumbed through the cabinets, trying to decide what to eat as the baby was becoming impatient with my indecision. "It's all right. I"m getting something for us to eat." I sent to her along with a wave of my love. I felt her sigh and settle down, knowing I would take good care of her. Finally settling down with some fruit and cut ham, I ate my breakfast, curled up into the kitchen chair.

"Meagan?" I was just about finished when I heard my name.

"Yes?" I turned to face my husband as he came into the room, knowing I couldn't avoid him for forever.

He sighed as he took a sip of his coffee. "Are you sure you are alright?"

I raised an eyebrow, wondering where he was going to take this. I wasn't in the mood for another fight. "I'm fine. Master Jessie said we just needed some rest and I've been doing that."

He didn't say anything as I got up, washing my dishes, then putting them away.

"Did you eat?" I asked him as I straightened the kitchen.

He nodded, watching my every movement "I just cut up a few pieces of fruit."

I smiled slightly as he washed his coffee cup, then reaching around me to put it up. "Thanks, I quite can't reach things anymore."

He glanced down at me as his arms pulled me close. "I don't mind."

I sighed, then leaned against him, some of the tension melting away. "We should talk. What are you doing today? I'm still on medical leave."

"Anakin and I have some sessions this afternoon after his classes. So we have time."

"Can he swing by here? I have something for him."

Obi-Wan looked puzzled for a second as I explained that I ended up on Naboo.

"Did you know that before you left?"

I looked down. "Afraid so. I was thinking that if he knew where we were going, he would have insisted to come along. And considering your worries, you might have let him too."

Obi-Wan chuckled. "I would have too."

"That would have been interesting....anyway, Padme has a letter for him. She found out about the baby and then Anakin wrote her about it."

"And I take it, she nor you would tell Anakin that she found out before he wrote her about it."

I smiled as he led us into the living room, sitting us comfortably down. "It's our little secret."

Obi-Wan slipped his arms around me. "I'll tell you what, why don't you tell me what happened on this mission and then I'll tell you what occurred on ours?"

It was only fair, besides now that he had heard I was held hostage, he deserved to hear all of it. Besides refusing to disclose it to him now would put a strain on our marriage, one that I probably didn't want, especially now.

Leaning up against him, I told him about the trip. I left out the parts where the guards made passes at me. He didn't need to hear that and it didn't effect the outcome of the mission anyway.

"Meagan I wish you didn't take risks like that, especially now." He commented, quite calmly I might add, after I was done.

"The Force was guiding me and I couldn't sit around with all those innocent women and children to get hurt or killed. You know you would have done the same thing."

He nodded. "I know, but I'm a little attached to you two."

I smiled coyly. "Only a little."

"Very funny Meagan."

I pulled back. "Okay, where did you go and what was your and Anakin's assignment?"

He went on and told me all about their mission. Then for the next little while, we just talked, mainly apologizing for lying, yelling and such. At one point he tentatively placed a hand on my middle. "So she really is responding to you in the Force?"

I nodded, covering his hand with my own. "When the bullets starting flying, it was like she wanted to grab a lightsaber and fight those goons. Or that she was sensing what was happening. It's been wonderful, feeling her like this."

He was quiet for a moment or two. "Will she know me? I mean with that fight and all?"

I shrugged. "She knew Master Jessie was examining her the other day and she, like last night, reached for me. I don't know how she will react to you now."

He remained quiet as he pulled me close. I sighed, glad to back in his arms and that we weren't mad at each other. Closing my eyes, I easily drifted asleep.

I woke up sometime later, wondering how long I was asleep when I felt the baby move. She knew I was waking up, so she did too, stretching as she did. I smiled, reaching for Obi-Wan, placing his hands where the baby was. His eyes widened as he realized what that was.

He reached into the Force toward her slowly, thinking it would make this easier. However, she was immediately startled and hid herself behind my Force presence. "It's alright little one. He won't hurt you, that's your Daddy. He loves us." After a few moments of gentle coaxing, I was able to help her reach toward Obi-Wan. I felt the Force swirl around us as Obi-Wan was more than awed by the strength of the baby and the brightness of the Force. I sighed, glad things were now alright.
