Chapter Seventy Three

**Meagan's Point of View**

"Rumor has it, that the main Separatist forces, led by a mysterious general are gathering near the......" I turned off the news report quickly not wanting to hear it anymore. Reports were trickling in about coming battles and I didn't even want to know, to even think about it. But it was everywhere I turned, discussed in every hallway, all holonet reports, the streets, the shops, everywhere.

Sighing, I shifted through a drawer for my night clothes. I still didn't understand why I even tried to sleep. Before, when Obi-Wan was on missions, I tended not to sleep well, having grown accustomed to his warm body holding me and worrying about his safety. But now, with the war, I tended not to sleep much at all, though sometimes Sasha would crawl into bed with me, her small warm body curling into mine, bringing me much comfort.

Sighing again, I pushed the drawer closed, realizing I had sent my night clothes down to the laundry and had yet to get them back. Opening another drawer, I pulled out one of Obi-Wan's shirts. Bringing it to my face, I drew in a deep breath, his scent still lingering, his deep, very masculine scent clinging to the material, bringing a few tears to my eyes. Slipping off my bath robe, I pulled the shirt over my head. It went halfway to my knees, but having my husband's scent on me helped my rather tense body relax.

Without thinking about much, except that the several days since they had been gone had seemed like an eternity, I completed my bedroom routine. Climbing into bed, his side, I wrapped my arms around the pillow, tugging the covers closer around me, feeling cold without my husband's warmth.

I laid awake, staring at the ceiling, thinking that just in a few short weeks, how much everything had changed around us, even in the peace and quiet of the Jedi Temple. For Sasha's sake, I tried to keep everything normal. By now she was quite used to Obi-Wan and Anakin's travels, but even as I pretended that they would be back soon, I knew she felt the difference, that nothing would ever be the same again, that they may never come back.

"Mommy." Sasha interrupted my thoughts as I didn't even try to get to sleep. "Can I sleep with you?"

"Of course." I patted the space beside me, knowing I shouldn't, that when my husband did come home on furlough, he wouldn't be pleased about it.

"Story?" She asked once she had climbed up and settled against me. "About you and Daddy?"

"Mmmm.....about Daddy....." I pretended to be in deep thought for long moments before starting the story. "Once upon a time....."

Sasha had fallen asleep just about the time the story ended, but I still lay awake, hoping and praying Obi-Wan and Anakin would be safe, to come home to us.

It was only a few days later when reports started to trickle through the Temple about some light skirmishes. Since it wasn't from the Council or someplace trustworthy, I didn't put too much stock into it. Though my nerves felt like they were on fire, just waiting, day in and day out.

Luckily the waiting wasn't too long and the first battle exploded and it went out everywhere, even across the holonet. I couldn't bear watching it, knowing my husband and Anakin were right in the thick of things, driving the Separatist from the planet and then the sector. The entire galaxy cheered, the ones for the Republic that is, that we had scored the first victory of the war. Suddenly, as in over night, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi heroes, were household names. After the battle was over, Obi-Wan negotiated a treaty, allowing us to have a permanent base, a close by ally that led into Separatist space and in return, as the fact their planet had been damaged by battle, we would supply them with goods and provide protection. Anakin's fame largely came from the battle itself where his flying capabilities had children all over the galaxy wanting to fly just like him. He had cut the enemy's fleet in half, allowing the rest of Republic's ships to send them scattering.

I knew some of this was exaggerated, but also knew my husband's abilities at negotiations already had him requested quite often and his fame from killing the Sith on Naboo, only made it more so now. All this fame, I knew for certain, wouldn't be appreciated either. Obi-Wan would rather do his job as a Jedi and come home to his family with little or no recognition. Seeing the planet freed or the people defeat an evil, was all he had ever asked for in a reward, Jedi to his very core. Now he was a household name. Oh, the irony of it all, the more he tried to stay away from politics and the press, the more he seemed to be involved.

However, through this all, watching some of the coverage, even though knowing neither of them liked the sudden attention, I felt nothing but relief. They had survived.

Of course with a battle having taken place, quite a major one, I might add, on planet side, left some beings in dire need of assistance. So, Jema, Dede, several others and I spent a couple days, and I mean all day and well into the late hours, finding, sorting, boxing, packaging quite a large number of basic supplies, such as food, water, clothes, medical equipment, blankets and baby bottles.

As I was sealing one box, Jema pulled me aside. "Meagan, I need you to take these supplies to Knoid. You'll be able to take a set of troops with you to help distribute them."

A part of me wanted to stay here and leaving Sasha would hurt, but I also wanted to help people, that being out and about would keep me busy and tired. Tired and busy enough to forget the worry I carried over Obi-Wan leading men in battle. Then maybe, I would get to see Obi-Wan! "When do I leave?"

"The day after tomorrow." She told me. "Enough time for you to be completely briefed and so we can make sure we have enough supplies to send with you."

We went over further details before we headed back to the big bay area where we were currently sorting donated supplies. Sometime around dinner, I headed down and picked up Sasha. We ate dinner as she described her day, that she was cool since her daddy was a big hero. Soon afterwards, I pulled her into my lap and started to explain that mommy was leaving too.

"Why are you going away?" Sasha asked, obviously trying to understand.

"Well, the people of Knoid, innocent people, don't have food or some of their houses were damaged." I saw that she was starting to understand, so I kept going. "Mommy is going to help them, bringing them food and water. It's what we do Sasha, help others who are less fortunate than ourselves. It's the way of the Jedi."

Sasha seemed to digest this for a moment or two. "Where children hurt?"

"I'm afraid so." Of course I didn't go into any details, but was as honest as I could be with her. "Some of them don't have toys now or even much food."

Her eyes went wide. "No toys?"

I cradled her gently. "Yes. Do you understand that I have to help them?"

Sasha nodded. "Are you going to give them any toys?"

I blinked at my daughter. We had thought of every other thing to take, but it took my three year old daughter to remind me that sometimes children needed something more than food, clothes or water. "Yes, we will."

"Can I share mine with them?" Her face was completely serious and sincere. Her little heart knew someone needed her help and she gave it in the only way she knew how too.

I hugged her close, feeling so proud of her. "Of course you can. I'm so proud of you."

"Mummy." She managed a moment later. "You're squishing me."

"I'm sorry." I stood her up, then reached for her hand. "Before bedtime, why don't we go pick out the toys you want me take?"

So we spent the next while with Sasha pulling out the toys she no longer liked or played with. Once we had them in a box, she crawled into my lap. "I miss you."

"I know honey." I rocked her close. "I'm going to miss you too. But you're going to have a lot of fun with Master Yoda and your friends. Aunt Bant will look after you."

She nodded, her tears warming my neck. "It's not the same."

"I know, but everything will be okay." Sasha cried for a few more minutes before she began to grow sleepy.

"Stay with you." She mumbled as I started to tuck her into bed.

Not being able to resist, I carried her into our room and tucked her into bed. "Goodnight, little one. I love you."

"Love you mommy." She clutched her teddy bear close to her as she succumbed to sleep.

The next day passed by rather quickly with making sure we took toys with us, the debriefing, packing my stuff and Sasha's. But before I knew it, I was leaving. So, after the rather teary goodbye to Sasha, I boarded the transport that took me to the military base not too far from the Temple, the one where Obi-Wan and Anakin must have left from as well.

"My lady?" One of the clones came up to me. "We have the ship loaded and ready to go."

I nodded. "Then let's be off."

We boarded the ship and the men soon settled the ship into hyperspace. Wanting to be alone, I settled into a small room, which I guessed were my quarters and mostly meditated and reviewed what I needed to do. Sure I helped after tragedies of some sort, but nothing on this grand of a scale and I'd never been the one in charge. However, the people of Knoid needed help and I wasn't about to shrink away and I did have a handful of troopers to help me.

We were soon coming in and even as we descended down, I could see the damage. So much destruction, so much devastation. Was it even worth it?

"Orders my lady?" Several of the troopers came up to me.

I took a deep breath, hoping I was making the right choices. "Have we gotten any new reports about the injured?" Previously we had received some numbers and that some had been taken care of, but the battle had completed over a week ago.

"They have taken care of as much of it as they can, but with all the damage they are running out of medical supplies." The commander reported, stating it had come from the troops that had been planet side during the battle and a small contingency remained. "Would you like us to take the meds to....."

"Not yet, but go ahead and make sure it's separated from the rest of the supplies as it will go somewhere else." I paused and thought for a moment before asking. "Is there any center set up for food and water distribution?"

"Two community centers have been turned into such places, but the supplies the troops left as well as other local areas have nearly all been used up." The main commander continued on. "Is that where you want to start?"

I slowly shook my head. "I would like to meet with the leaders first. I know they are already working on helping clean up and such, so I wouldn't want to change what they are doing."

"Very good My Lady." He gave a salute. "Our Commander on planet will be able to make contact and introduce you."

"Thank you sir."

The ship soon landed and I disembarked, the handful of troopers following me. I found it quite eerie, but felt completely safe and glad that I had some extra hands along.

"Commander Cody at your service My Lady." A trooper had met us and saluted me. "The Council told us you were coming."

"Meagan Kenobi." I nodded at him. "Now, what can you tell me about what's happening here?"

Commander Cody gave me a run down, a bit more detailed than what I'd already been told. "Your orders?"

"Well, first I would like to meet with who is in charge of relief efforts. I want to coordinate their work with ours." I told him.

"Yes, we alerted them to your coming and they were quite pleased with the Republic's extremely quick assistance." By now we were walking toward a nearby transport. "They would also like to meet with you."

"Thank you." We settled into the transport and soon took off.

As we drove through the city, I noticed how much damage there was, how all their lives would never be the same again. After a bit we stopped in front of a building that had obviously been turned into their headquarters.

"Ah, Commander Cody, I see the help has arrived." A man with salt and pepper hair, looking aged beyond his years came to greet us as we were climbing up the steps. "Who is this lovely lady?"

"Antwan Djinu this is Meagan Kenobi." Cody turned to me and introduced me to Sir Djinu the city's administrator.

"As in General Obi-Wan Kenobi?" I wasn't too surprised he had asked. After all, he had been here only days before.

"My husband." I admitted before asking. "So you met him?"

"Yes I did." Djinu said, escorting us inside. "I was a part of the team he negotiated with. At first we didn't want this place turned into anything, but he managed to convince us."

I couldn't help but smile. "Yes, he has just a way of doing that."

He was about to make another comment when we were soon greeted by several others. "I'd like you all to meet Meagan Kenobi, General Kenobi's wife and she is here with some much needed supplies." He then in turned introduced me to the others.

We entered a room they must have been using for meetings and sat down around a long table and started getting everything more organized in what needed to be done.

"Now Lady Kenobi...." Someone started to say.

"It's Meagan." It was bad enough the troops were addressing me as my lady, but I didn't want everyone else to.

"But you are General Kenobi's wife are you not?"

"Yes I am, but I'm not titled or anything. Obi-Wan's the one with the title." I tried to assure them, but as I looked at all their faces, them obviously thinking my husband was a hero and perhaps he was, but I knew I would never be able to talk them out of calling me anything else. "Now, I'm sorry, you were about to say....."

After our meeting was over, we went back to the transport and with the troops help we were able to start helping the people.

So for the next couple days, despite our meetings, everything was a mass of organized confusion. People were everywhere. Sometimes I didn't know who was helping and who was receiving as the many who came often ended up helping us or taking things to their neighbors. I didn't get much sleep or even a moment to myself, but I preferred it that way, and I finally felt like I was doing something again, something that would make the war a bit more bearable. Plus I worked hard enough to where I didn't have to think about my husband and what he could be doing. Though it didn't help when young boys, once they heard I was General Kenobi's wife, usually started asking me questions about him or even a few wanted his autograph. Their mothers often apologized for it, but it seemed to help them deal with things, so I often told them quick heroic stories that would give them hope in so much destruction and devastation.

Of course, much to my delight, Sasha's ideas about bringing toys was quite useful and very much appreciated.

"Hello there." One afternoon I knelt down to a little girl not too much older than Sasha. "And what's your name?"

She mumbled an answer so I couldn't quite understand it while she still clung to her older brother, who was only a couple years older, as their mother got what they needed

"How old are you?" I asked her as the two stared at me as the little girl with her free hand started sucking on her thumb.

She didn't answer and neither did he, so I tried another tactic and reached over to where I kept a good size box of toys always in my reach. "How about a toy then?"

The two suddenly didn't look quite as shy and slightly peered into the box.

I began shifting through it and began describing what I had, what I thought they might like as they began to watch with more and more interest and several others in the area began to creep close as well.

I finally won a reaction as I pulled out a stuffed animal that sang a tune when you touched its arm. Her face lit up in a bright smile as her thumb came out of her mouth as she reached for the toy. I glanced up to the mother and by the tears in her eyes, I knew this was the first time this little girl had smiled in weeks.

"Thank you." She managed as she watched her son pick out his toy as several others began shifting through the box. "I didn't think toys would be high on the list."

"Actually they weren't." I glanced down at the kids before reaching for another box they could look through. "It was my daughter's idea to bring them. She seemed to know they would need them."

The woman blinked away the tears again as she gathered her children. I was about to tell her goodbye when she reached out and hugged me, her voice nearly a whisper. "Thank you my lady, you're an angel of mercy."

Tears stung in my eyes. I didn't think I deserved it, but all I could whisper, knowing she needed this, that these people did need a hero, needed to see goodness and hope. "You're welcome."

After another long moment she pulled away and she and the little ones left. After waving goodbye, I turned slightly and wiped the tears.

"Cody, if you could load up a large transport for me." I said as I entered one of the help centers one morning. "I need to take some basics up into the mountains. Djinu said they haven't gotten near enough supplies."

Cody just stared at me for a moment before protesting. "Lady Kenobi, you can't do that."

I stopped short, setting my bag down. "Excuse me?"

"It's dangerous my lady." Cody seemed very firm in his stance. "There could be wild animals or lone droids for starters."

"Cody, thank you for your concern." I told him, glancing around the big room, wondering how long it would take me to pack everything I would need. "I'll be fine. I'm quite capable of taking care of myself."

Cody shifted from one foot to another, growing nervous about something. "Um...I'm sorry Lady Kenobi, but I'm under instructions not to let you wander off by yourself."

"Well, Cody, I'm overriding that." I briefly wondered who had given him that order, but these people were nearly starving. "Those people need help and it's easier for me to go since the others need to stay here and run things. I'm the most logical one to go."

"My Lady, that does make sense, but these orders came from General Kenobi and that order I can't disobey."

That damn over protective husband! Well, we were just going to see about that. "How about if I took some troops with me? That way, you are not disobeying orders and those people get supplies. Then, if Obi-Wan still bursts a blood vessel, I'll handle him."

Cody still looked slightly unsure, but he could see that my mind was made up. "I'll put a team together and get your transport loaded."

"Thank you Cody." I smiled. "I'm going to find Djinu and tell him that I'll be gone today. Anything I need to know, you can brief me later."

"Yes Lady Kenobi." Cody turned away and started calling the others. I watched him go for a moment, glad that he was here, even if I was getting rather annoyed at being called Lady Kenobi or my lady all the time.

Leaving turned out to be a bit quicker than I thought, mere days after the two I spent in the mountains, but most everyone was situated with basic survival needs for the moment and my presence was really no longer needed. And as troops came and went on the base, they would be bringing refills as the needs arouse especially as we had set everything up. Of course the long haul was the rebuilding of their communities, but one of the best parts of the agreement that Obi-Wan negotiated was that a certain amount of troops would help with the rebuilding on certain times for a certain length of time, which would greatly speed along the process. So I wasn't too surprised when Cody told me that he received orders from the Council that when the next small unit came in, we were to leave, reporting to the Sassy.

"That includes me?" I asked, wondering why I wasn't just sent back home until some other planet needed aide or evacuation.

"Yes ma'am." Cody didn't know much more than that. "Once onboard the Sassy, I'm sure General Kenobi will have further orders."

"The Sassy is under Obi-Wan's command?" I stopped boxing up some left over supplies as my heart nearly stopped.

Cody smiled, nodded his answer, before moving on. "Now which items do we need to take with us?"

We spent a few minutes going over the details of leaving before I went to start my goodbyes to the towns people.

So it seemed like in no time at all, I was climbing up into a small carrier to take me to the Sassy, the ship and command that had fallen to Obi-Wan and according to Cody I should be seeing him shortly. I could almost barely believe it! So soon into the war and I would be able to see my husband!! My attention was stolen as we flew up into the huge cargo bay of the largest cruiser I'd ever seen. My mouth nearly dropped open. I'd never seen a ship so large, not even the ones that took us home after the Battle of Geonosis.

"Lady Kenobi?" Commander Cody had approached me, interrupting my thoughts. "What should I do with the extra supplies?"

I stood there for a moment, suddenly unsure of myself. "Um....I guess find a corner somewhere where they won't be in the way. I'm sure I'll need them again and I will need to sort and reorganize them, so make sure I can reach them." As Knoid had everything they currently needed, I was ordered to take some things with me as the troops would resupply things and just in case I needed them somewhere else as well.

"Very well." Cody agreed and then went back to commanding the troopers that were with us.

Once the ship was docked, I walked down the gangplank, the clones doing whatever they were doing and I didn't worry about a thing, not even my bags. After the last week or so, I just wanted a shower and a bed. I was about halfway down the ramp when my eyes caught sight of Obi-Wan, looking over one of the terminals not to far away. My heart began to race. He must have sensed me because he turned, smiled and then took half of a step towards me. That was all it took. Not even caring the bay was nearly full with men, I ran the rest of the way down, literally throwing myself into his arms.

He pulled me close and I took in his much missed scent, the feel of his bearded cheek tickling mine, the iron strength in the arm that was holding me but the gentleness of his roughened fingers feeling their way through my hair. I could feel the pounding of his heart against my own as I felt him breath my name.

I struggled to control my emotions, feeling the tears slip past my control. "I've missed you."

"Me too love." He held me for another long moment before slowing pulling away, but was soon tucking me into his side as Commander Cody reported in. I only halfway paid attention, just glad that his arm was firmly around me. Though I was brought back in as Obi-Wan thanked him for keeping me safe.

"Your welcome sir." Cody saluted us. "It was my pleasure Lady Kenobi."

"Finish unloading and let your men get some rest." Obi-Wan finished up, making sure my things got to my quarters. Once Cody left, Obi-Wan looked down at me. "Lady Kenobi?"

I just shrugged as he began to lead me from the bay. "When the town heard I was your wife, they started calling me that. I tried to explain that I'm not titled, but they did it anyway. Apparently the troops caught onto it and it's stuck I'm afraid."

Obi-Wan just shook his head, amusement showing in his eyes. "Well then, Lady Kenobi, shall we go then?"

"Alright, General Kenobi." I clung onto his arm as we started down the hallways of the ship. "Lead the way."

We silently walked along the corridors until Obi-Wan stopped and turned to me. "Are you up...." His voice trailed off and he just watched me for long moments. "Why don't I take you to the quarters so you can clean up and get some rest?"

I nodded, relieved I didn't have to spend time on a long tour when what I really wanted was a nap. "Though I would like to see Anakin. Is he alright?"

"He's fine." Obi-Wan assured me as we started down another hallway. "He's on the bridge. It's nearly on the way anyway."

As we walked I was quite overwhelmed by this huge ship and especially as the clones were addressing him as General.

"This is the bridge." Obi-Wan said as the lift opened and we stepped out, my mouth nearly hanging open at the sheer size and efficiency of it all.

"Meagan." Anakin ran over, giddy as a school boy, picking me up and swinging me around.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Anakin, put me down."

"What do you think of her?" He asked, once my feet were on the ground again.

I could only imagine of how much fun he's had flying this ship, despite the fact it was in a war. "Quite impressive and I've only seen a part of it."

Anakin started talking about it, but Obi-Wan quickly stepped in. "I'm going to take her back to her quarters so she can get some rest. I'll be back shortly. Can you not cause any trouble between now and then?"

Anakin pretended to pout as I laughed, giving him another hug before we left again. So, after going down the lift several floors, walking across the ship, going back up a few floors, we finally stopped at a door.

"Please tell me you have a map. I just know I'm going to get lost."

Obi-Wan tried not to laugh. "You'll be fine."

Shaking my head, I didn't have the energy to argue, but watched as he entered a code. I smiled, knowing I could at least remember that particular code....our wedding date. The door soon slid open and he ushered me in, and I immediately sensed his presence. This was his quarters and if he was here, this place would be home. The door slid shut behind us as I looked around. It was small, but I wouldn't complain about it if I was sleeping in his arms.

"Cody or one of his men should have your bags brought in shortly. If something needs to be cleaned, just put it through here." Obi-Wan pointed toward the laundry shoot and was starting to explain something else when I realized that we were completely alone.

Taking a few steps, not caring I was interrupting, I stepped up close, standing right in front of him. He stopped mid sentence, giving me an inquisitive look as I reached up, tugging him down for a kiss. It only took him a second or two before his arms pulled me flush against him, his lips moving against mine in a deep passion.

Finally, only the fact my lungs desperately needed air, made me pull my mouth away from his. Both of us gasping we continued to hold each other close, one hand firmly around me, the other in my hair, my arms wrapped around his neck.

After sharing several more kisses, Obi-Wan finally pulled completely away. "I should let you get cleaned up and I need to report back to the bridge."

I nodded, more than ready to relax.

"I'll come get you for the evening meal." He paused, his eyes twinkling. "Unless you can find the mess hall."

"Obi-Wan you'd better come and get me or you'll be on the floor tonight." I threatened, but he knew after being separated for a while, it wouldn't last five minutes.

"Very well Lady Kenobi." After one last kiss and a wink, he left the room and I headed into the refresher.

The shower was quite nice and my hair felt actually clean. I was beginning to dress when my bags were dropped by. Realizing nearly everything needed to be cleaned, I dumped the majority of it down the shoot and then slipped into one of Obi-Wan's shirts. Climbing into the bed, I was out nearly the second my head hit the pillow.

"Meagan." I heard someone calling my name what seemed like minutes later. "Meagan, wake up."

Not wanting to wake up, I buried myself into the covers, ignoring the voice.

"Meagan, you'll be up all night." The voice of logic kept penetrating my dreams, but I buried myself even deeper into the bed.

"You've been asleep for several hours." Now there was a hand on my shoulder, shaking me before he started to pull the covers back. "It's nearly dinner time."

I blinked as this slowly sank in as Obi-Wan began stroking my hair and face.

Several minutes later, I yawned and slowly stretched my muscles. "I guess I was more tired than I thought."

"Some dinner will do you good." He said, still sitting on the edge of the bed. "Come on. Anakin is waiting for us."

I yawned again, finally sitting up. "Well, he can just wait then. I need to get ready, my hair is an absolute mess and who knows....."

His eyes softened as he reached out, touching my face, quieting my thoughts. "You're beautiful."

I didn't argue, only throughly enjoying the long slow kiss we shared. Once he pulled away, I heaved myself from the bed.

"I'll be as quick as I can." I promised, pulling out something I could wear until the rest of my clothes were cleaned.

"Is that my shirt?" I heard him tease as I began to dress.

I nodded, throwing it onto the one chair that was in the room. "Mine were dirty."

"Do I wear your clothes?" His tone was heavily tinted with sarcasm.

"Honey, if you could wear my clothes, I think I would kill myself." I grabbed my brush and stepped into the small refresher, Obi-Wan's laughter following me.

It took me several more minutes to wash my face and do something with the mass of tangles that was my hair. But finally, Obi-Wan and I left the room, my arm tucked into his. We had a nice dinner with Anakin, catching up on how things were going in the Temple, how Sasha was doing. After that, Anakin went back to his quarters, catching up on some of his studies, while Obi-Wan gave me a complete tour of the ship. (And I still think I'm going to need a map!) Once that was done, we headed back to our quarters where he showed me how to use the small terminal or as I called it a laptop so I could do any work while on board and send it back to Jema at the Temple.

Obi-Wan eventually went to do final rounds and make sure everyone reported for the night duty shift. I however, started unpacking my things. I didn't have much but some of the toiletries I brought along, I managed to squeeze into a small shelf in the refresher, next to Obi-Wan's straight edge razor.

After that I pulled out my datapad and started shifting through it, making a list of things I needed to start working on tomorrow and organizing it all. Finally, knowing I had completed everything that I could do without keeping myself up all night, I set the datapad down and laid my head back. I wondered where I was going to go next and how long I would be stationed with Obi-Wan.

Sometime, knowing Obi-Wan could be a while I got ready for bed and climbed in, scooting over to the far side so he wouldn't have to crawl over me. It was a bit smaller than our bed at home, but it would be nice to be cozied up next to him, especially since I always got cold when sleeping on ships. I was already asleep when Obi-Wan came and climbed up next to me, his arms coming around me. Only coming somewhat awake, I turned in his arms, our bodies automatically wrapping around each other. Feeling so safe, loved and protected I slept deeply, better than I had in a long time.

Now for your favorite part: The Quote: From one of the best Christmas movies of all time: White Christmas:

"Miss Emma I'll make my own decisions. I got along very well in the army without you."

"It took 15,000 men to take my place." Don't we love that house keeper!!! LOL!!

Dimonah Tralon: Luke isn't quite in the story yet, but he might be making his appearance by the end! LOL!! Of course that was his rank in the originals! Anyway, thank you for noticing we add just the right amount of fluff. So many stories put too much in and it doesn't add to the story and it can be disgusting, but on the other hand, we do like showing some as there is still passion in their marriage. (And if I had a husband like Obi-Wan, I'd be all over him too!! LOL) Thanks again. We hope you've enjoyed this latest chapter.

Jedi Angel: It's sometimes so hard to find an Obi-Wan story where he isn't missing being a husband and a father because of the blasted Jedi code, so we decided to write our own rules!! Sasha of course, is a lot of fun to write where she keeps her calm, serene Jedi Master father completely on his toes! As for Anakin and Padme....in canon, it was so fast and so crazy, we decided, despite the war to give it a bit more. (Though the Clone Wars tv show isn't doing too bad of a job filling in the holes.) Thanks again!

Azura: We are so pleased you are still reading and enjoying our story!
