Chapter Thirty


**Meagan's point of view**


I snuggled closer to the warmth of the covers, trying to stay in my dreams, fighting the feeling that something needed me. I burrowed my head into the pillow, wanting to stay asleep, but the cries of my daughter kept penetrating into the peacefulness I was in. I lifted my head off the pillow to see Obi-Wan bend over the cradle where Sasha slept.

"What's the matter pumpkin?" I heard him as he gently picked her up, cradling her in his arms. I watched as he sat down in the rocking chair, talking soothingly to her. I felt tears well in my eyes at watching my husband and two month old daughter together, while pieces of my dreams came back.

Sasha must have been about ten or eleven years old. She was working on some martial arts moves with Obi-Wan helping her. But I couldn't recognize the place where they were. It was nothing like the Temple, but reminded me of Earth with the trees, flowers and those gorgeous mountains. I sighed, the pictures of Mom, Seth, Heather, Sean, Danielle, and Lisa floating through my mind, making a fresh wave of homesickness rush through me.

Continuing to watch my husband and daughter together, I wished my family could have met them, could have shared our joy, been there for us during the incident. Sasha was so little, so precious and all I've wanted in the last months was my mother.

I quickly wiped the tears away, wanting nothing more than to see everyone I loved together. A few minutes later, I sighed, rolling over, wanting to fall into the bliss of sleep in order to forget the homesickness. It took me a few minutes to settled down, but when I felt Obi-Wan cuddling me close in his arms, wrapping me in his love, I fell right back to sleep.

*******


It was several days later when I was making my way around the Temple, getting some fresh air and away from our quarters for a little while. Sasha was snuggled in my arms, but was trying her best to look at everything around her. Her blue-grayish eyes were taking in everything. She was more than curious about her new surroundings. It amazed me how much she took in, how much a two month old was learning.

Of course we never made it very far around the Temple before being stopped by someone admiring Sasha. Most of the time I didn't mind another Jedi telling me what a beautiful, cute baby I had and how glad they were that I was back on my own feet again.

Now the first time I stepped back into my office, just to say hello, was an absolute madhouse. I'd seen most of them during my recovery, but what I got was a very warm reception.

"Meagan!" Latrina looked up from the reception desk as I walked in, then turned back to the others, calling out. "Hey everyone, look who's here."

Caitlin, Lexiea, and Corintha, who were working close by came over quickly, reaching out to hug me and Sasha.

"She's grown." Caitlin said as she held Sasha gently. "I still can't decide if she looks more like you or Obi-Wan."

Lexiea agreed as she put a hand on Sasha's red head. "She's so cute."

"Is she sleeping through the nights yet?" Corintha asked as we settled down to talk.

"I wish." I said sarcastically. "She hasn't made it through one yet, but now she's only waking up a couples times verses every other hour. I expect it will happen soon, I hope."

We talked for several minutes when Dede, Jema and several others stepped out of Jema's office from a meeting. They all shrieked with joy and headed over to us.

"Look at her." Dede easily took Sasha from Caitlin. "She looks like you Meagan."

Caitlin grinned. "Well, I can tell she still has a lot of her Father in her."

I acknowledged that one as Jema turned to me.

"How are you feeling?"

"Much better, except I don't always get a lot of sleep."

Everyone was pleased that Sasha and I were still improving. We talked about different things, mostly Sasha, until she started getting antsy about being passed around too much. I gently took her from Lexiea, then left a few minutes later, knowing Sasha was ready for another nap.

*******


During the next month or so, things continued on in about the same pattern. I spent most of my time with Sasha in our apartment. She had finally started sleeping through some nights, but still woke up during others. Anakin was about caught up with his studies, so he and Obi-Wan, not on active duty, had resumed a workout schedule. By this time I had gained most of my energy and was back to normal, except for the tiredness that went along with having an infant. Though the last time Sasha and I saw the Healer's they did give us the final clean bill of health. We all celebrated that one together.

So, it was on one afternoon when I was folding clothes that Obi-Wan came into the apartment after a brief meeting with the Council that a bombshell was dropped on me. "Honey, do you have any plans for Friday night?"

I glanced up to him, then turned to Anakin who was rocking Sasha, then back to my husband. "Why are you asking?"

"I've been assigned to go to the Senate's Inauguration Ball. The Supreme Chancellor has requested several Jedi to be present and I'm one of them."

I raised an eyebrow at this, not really liking where Obi-Wan could take this discussion. "And what does that have to do with me?"

"I do not want to tell you this, but the Council has told me that you are going with me."

I groaned. That was the last place I wanted to be, especially now. Dressing up in a formal gown and everything that went with it was certainly not on my agenda list. "Wouldn't this be a good learning experience for Anakin?"

Anakin was vigorously shaking his head no at that, but Obi-Wan just smiled. "Actually it would be, but the Council thinks it would be good for you to get out a bit."

"What about Sasha? I just can't leave her Obi-Wan."

"Anakin can watch her."

"I don't have a dress." I knew it sounded lame, but any excuse would work.

Obi-Wan just looked at me as Anakin voiced up. "Doesn't Dede have something you could wear?"

I turned and glared at him as his smirk turned sheepish. "Are you sure Anakin can't go with you?"

"I have homework." He immediately interjected.

Obi-Wan and I turned back to him before my husband spoke. "Homework Padawan? On a Friday night?"

The young man's face started to turn red. "Jerome and I were going to go check out the new programs on the flight simulators on Saturday."

Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow, but didn't press the issue as he walked close to me. "Honey, I know this isn't something you normally do, but it's an assignment. If you stay close to me, you won't have much to worry about."

I sighed, realizing I didn't have choose.

*******


The next day, I went over to Dede's and she helped me sort through her dresses. I tried on several while she played with Sasha. I finally settled on a light purple one that didn't show the scar on my shoulder and wearing long gloves covered the one on my arm.

On the day of the event, I had several bottles prepared and left out everything that Anakin could possibly need for the night. I still hated the thought of leaving Sasha, even for just a few hours. Though Obi-Wan had reminded me again that Anakin would take care of her and that the separation would be good for us. I didn't like his normal rational practical thinking, but deep down inside I knew he was right. Someday,.after Sasha started her training, I would go back to my own job and Anakin and Obi-Wan to active Jedi duty. Though I really didn't like that thought too much.

It was that same evening when I was rocking Sasha that Obi-Wan stepped out of the shower. "Meagan, honey, you best put the baby down and start getting ready." He straight out told me before he went into our closet to pull out his dress uniform.

I sighed, finally putting Sasha down into the cradle by our bed, then finished getting ready myself.

"Meagan, you about done?" I heard Obi-Wan's voice call out to me, nearly an hour later. "Just about." I called back, putting the finishing touches on my hair. "Is Anakin here yet?"

"Meagan, everything is going to be just fine. You really need to stop......:" He stopped, speechless when I stepped out of the refresher before finding his voice several moments later. "Your breath taking."

I felt my cheeks growing warm, thinking they easily became the color of my hair. "I'm just a mommy in a pretty dress."

He chuckled slightly as he came over, pulling me into his arms. "No, my darling, you are much more than that."

I mumbled a thank you as I pulled back and started to straighten his shirt a bit. "You don't look too bad yourself. I've always liked this outfit of yours." The dark shirt coupled with beige pants with a gold sash brought out his ginger colored hair and those indescribable eyes.

He gave me a half grin as he offered his arm. "Shall we go?"

I sighed, then nodded.

When we entered the living area, Anakin was already holding Sasha in one arm, and eating a sandwich with the other. "Wow."

Obi-Wan gave him a quick look before I stepped toward them. I leaned down and kissed Sasha. "Be a good girl for your Uncle Anakin. Mommy will be back soon." Standing up, I gave Anakin some basic instructions. I was just about done, when I turned back to my husband. "I can't do this Obi-Wan. I can't leave her."

"She'll be fine." Obi-Wan came over, gently taking my arm, leading me away from Anakin and Sasha. I was about to protest when he said. "Meagan, it's alright, it will be okay. Trust me."

I gazed at him, not quite sure how to take that. My mother always taught me that when a guy said trust me to a girl, it usually wasn't something good. Of course this was also Obi-Wan Kenobi we were talking about.

"Meagan, Anakin can call us if he needs us and we're only going a few blocks and be back in a few hours."

"Promise?"

He kissed my head. "I promise."

With that we left the room for the Senate Complex.


*******


When we arrived at a banquet hall in the Senate Complex, we were greeted by all sorts of humans and different species. It was a lot bigger than I expected it to be, but Obi-Wan and the other Jedi didn't seem too surprised. So, with me nearly hanging on my husband's arm, we did the mix and mingle thing for quite a while. Everyone seemed to know us. Of course, I knew Obi-Wan was quite known among most circles in the Senate and the rest of the Government, but was surprised when they knew me and the shooting incident.

"How do all these people know about it and Sasha for that matter?"

He shrugged. "Well, technically you're not a Jedi, but are considered one. And when one gets involved in something like that, it gets around. That shoot out was the talk of the town for weeks."

"Wonderful." I couldn't help, but smirk as I heard someone calling my name and Obi-Wan's through the throngs of the crowd.

We both turned as Padme Naberrie Amidala came towards us. We exchanged a hug like old friends before my husband greeted her.

"It's so good to see looking so well." She told me after the initial greetings were over. "I heard what happened."

"We're fine now." I told her before giving Obi-Wan a slight smile. "We're just glad it's all over."

She nodded her head before speaking again. "Is Anakin here with you?"

At the sound of Anakin, I immediately thought of Sasha.

"He's at home with the baby." Obi-Wan told her as I glanced up at him, giving him a silent question. "Meagan, don't even think about it."

I wanted to pout, but thought better of it. I then turned to Padme, who looked a bit confused. "This is my first time away from Sasha and I know Anakin can watch her, but I can't help but worry."

Padme put her hand on my arm, looking at me with sympathy. "I wouldn't want too either. You'll have to bring her over to my office one day. Anakin sent me a few pictures, but I would love to meet her."

I immediately liked the idea, though I could feel Obi-Wan's concern since Anakin's crush on her hadn't diminished. "I would like that. It would give us a chance to get out for a bit. Just let us know when a good time for you would be and we can work something out."

"Good." She smiled. "Is she sleeping through the nights yet?"

I grimaced. "Some, but not all of them." The three of us chatted for a while, old friends catching up on our lives.

Obi-Wan and I were still talking with Padme when another politician came up to us.

"Senator Amidala, Master Kenobi, it's good to see you." The man was rather tall with dark hair and eyes. He looked friendly enough, especially given my husband smiled back as did Padme.

"Senator Organa, let me introduce you to my wife Meagan." Obi-Wan started out before turning to me. "Meagan, honey, this is Senator Bail Organa."

He smiled. "It's good to meet you and I'm pleased to see you doing so well."

"Thank you and it's a pleasure to meet you as well."

With the introductions over, we discussed different issues about the happenings around the planet, nothing too serious though. It was sometime later that we were all called into the main room, where all the special presentations were made. You know the bit where the new senators are introduced and speeches made. Overall, it wasn't that bad since there was only a couple short speeches and seeing the new senators introduced was interesting, but just looking at the Supreme Chancellor gave me chills.

It was sometime later when I was standing by myself that Chancellor Palpatine actually came over to me. "Well, my dear, it's good to see you looking so well."

I raised an eyebrow, wishing Obi-Wan would get back from the bathroom. "Thank you Chancellor."

He was about to speak again when an aid called him over to somewhere else. "You must excuse me. Another time perhaps. I do look forward to watching your daughter's career as a very promising Jedi."

Deeply shaken, but hiding it well, I managed a polite nod as the Chancellor turned and left. I stood there, calming myself for several minutes before Obi-Wan returned.

"What is it?" Obi-Wan leaned down and whispered in my ear.

I looked up, taking a sip of the drink he brought me. "I'll tell you on the way home."

He nodded, sensing that this was not the time to discuss something potentially serious.

Obi-Wan and I visited with some others for a bit longer, before making our way home. We had ridden in a taxi on the way over, but after all the political talk, we both needed some fresh air.

"Meagan, are you going to tell me what's bothering you?"

We were already halfway back to the Temple. "Chancellor Palpatine approached me." He waited as I told him what the conversation was. "I can understand how the shoot out was a media event, but the fact he'll be watching Sasha. I'm quite disturbed by that."

He was silent for a moment or two. "The fact that Sasha survived the ordeal, makes anyone realize she's special. And his interest might be in the fact, Qui-Gon, Anakin and I were all involved in the Trade Federation Dispute that was on his home planet." He shrugged helplessly. "Palpatine has always had an interest in the workings of the Jedi Order, so I'm not too surprised."

"But doesn't it disturb you?"

He palmed open the door to one of the entrances to the Jedi Temple. "A little, but there's little we can do right now. I wouldn't be too considered since this is all recent. Most of everyone will forget about the incident in a few months, especially with the Senate about to go into another session."

I followed his lead into the building, still a bit disturbed by it, but comforted by the fact Obi-Wan seemed to have a handle on it. We walked the rest of the way to our apartment in silence.

When we entered the apartment, all was quiet. Anakin was doing some studying on the couch.

"Is Sasha asleep?" I immediately asked, wondering how my baby was doing.

He nodding, smirking. An "I told you so" look written on his features. "She's just fine Meagan."

Without a word, I hurried into my room while Obi-Wan updated Anakin about the evening. I soon found Sasha fast asleep in her cradle, her tiny hands clutching the light purple blanket. All I wanted was to pick her up in my arms, cradling her close, but I didn't want to wake her. So, I had to be contented with kissing her soft cheek before getting ready for bed.

AN: Sorry this update took a little long......we were trying to find something interesting to put into the story, besides midnight feedings and everyone cooing over a new baby!! So, we thought what we actually wrote might balance it out a bit......Hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner than later with maybe Obi-Wan and Anakin actually leaving planet on another mission................



LOTR quote from the "The Fellowship of the Ring," where Merry and Pippin take the dragon fireworks from Gandolf.


"Quickly."

"No, no the big one."

"Ah.....the big one......"

(Several minutes later and away from the wagon.)

"Done...."

"You're supposed to stick in the ground."

"It is in the ground."

"Outside....."

"This was your idea....."

"Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......." (Firework shoots up in the air.)
