Chapter One Hundred

**Meagan's Point of View**

"Are you sure you are alright?" I asked Obi-Wan when he finally contacted me that the campaign was moderately successful and they were returning home. He had been gone for nearly two weeks. It seemed like a lifetime ago I shared with him about the baby.

Obi-Wan humored me, smiling slightly and didn't seem overly annoyed. "Meagan, Ahsoka, Anakin and I are completely fine. We will be home soon."

Though he completely changed the subject, asking to talk to Sasha who was playing in her room. I called to my daughter who then came running. I pulled her into my lap and let her tell her Daddy about her week. Once Obi-Wan had to go, we said our goodbyes and I started Sasha on her normal bed time routine. As I climbed into bed, rubbing my middle, I relaxed, relieved in knowing Obi-Wan would be home soon and was relatively not injured.

I promised myself I would not cry and go into hysterics when I saw my husband. However when he walked into our apartment around mid-day while I was fixing myself some lunch I struggled to compose myself.

"Hello Meagan." He gave me a bit of a smile and I was soon rapidly blinking back the tears as he stepped closer to me. "You can see I am just fine."

He leaned down, kissing my temple and his familiar scent washed over me and completely pushed me beyond my limits.

I burst into tears and threw my arms around him.

I barely heard him sigh as he humored me, hugging me close. "I'm alright, it's okay."

With his arms close around me, I took several deep breathes before I was able to calm myself. Blasted hormones.

"How are you?" He leaned down slightly, his voice quiet but concerned.

I somehow managed not to start crying again. "Despite feeling weepy some of the time and occasional morning sickness, I am fine."

He nodded before kissing me, gently but thoroughly. I clung to him, glad he was home, safe once more, at least for the moment.

Obi-Wan and I didn't talk much about the baby over the next days, though I felt he was feeling better about it or more accepting of it. I was beginning to debate about when to start telling others, at least our close friends, about the coming baby but by the way Anakin greeted me the following morning in the Temple hallways, I guessed Obi-Wan told him. I wondered how we were going to tell Sasha about her having a little sister or brother but he seemed not quite ready to have that discussion yet. I did not want to force the issue but at some point we were going to have to talk about the baby. There was plenty of time but there was still a lot of plans to discuss and changes would have to be made. And the ongoing war would only complicate the situation.

All these thoughts were running through my mind early one morning, worrying about the next months, how much of this pregnancy I would be spending alone, making my stomach turn. I took several deep breathes hoping to calm myself but it was short lived as a roll of nausea suddenly came over me. With a light moan, I headed into the refresher, barely making it before I was sick.

Within moments, Obi-Wan was behind me, holding my hair away from my face with one hand, the other rubbing circles on my back. Once it passed, I curled into his arms, taking slow deep breathes.

"Here, sip this slowly." Obi-Wan held a small cup of water in front of me, encouraging me to take it.

Smiling slightly, I took it, rinsed my mouth out before sipping it slowly. We sat there in the quiet for long moments before he spoke.

"Are you alright?" He asked, looking rather concerned.

I nodded, already feeling a little better.

"Do you need anything?" He asked, still watching me closely.

I shook my head, drawing comfort from his presence. We sat quietly on the floor for a bit longer before he helped me up and then tucked me into bed. I wanted to talk, to ask him if we could talk, but his hand smoothing the curls in my hair, the touch of his lips gently on my face, the soothing touch of his love through our bond, had my body settling peacefully into sleep.

"Get some rest." Obi-Wan spoke quietly as I was beginning to drift off. "I will take care of Sasha and get her to her classes."

I awoke later in the morning, my stomach calmer and feeling a little more rested. I slowly stretched out, wondering how late it was when I spied Obi-Wan sitting in the chair by our bed, working on a datapad.

He looked up as I began to sit up. "How are you feeling?"

"Much better." I said as he rose and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching up to finger some of my curls.

"Good." He watched me for a long moment before rising. "I will be back soon. Stay here alright?"

I watched, a bit puzzled as he left the room. He came back a couple minutes later, holding a small tray in his hands. Tears welled in my eyes as he set it down on the bedside table.

"You should have some of this." He said handing me a cup of tea.

I sipped on the tea before slowly starting on the breakfast he brought. It was really sweet of him to take such good care of me. "Thank you."

He smiled a little before kissing me gently.

"Isn't it about time we talk about this?" After I finished eating, I couldn't help but rub my middle which was just beginning to thicken slightly.

He was quiet for a long moment before asking. "What exactly do you want to discuss?"

So many questions were running through my mind, I wasn't quite sure where to start. "I am starting to get a little further along, when do we want to tell everyone?"

Obi-Wan watched me for long moments before speaking. "I think we should not tell anyone."

I blinked, trying to figure out what he exactly meant. "You mean we should wait another few weeks?"

He shook his head. "At all."

I stared at him in shock before finding my voice. "You already told Anakin."

He sighed. "While I was still in shock, but I have had time to think about it and I think we need to keep this quiet. I can ask Anakin not to say anything and he won't."

"No, Obi-Wan, I am not keeping this from our friends. Besides everyone will eventually know anyway, a pregnancy can be hidden only for so long."

Obi-Wan looked like he was contemplating something but I cut him off before he could continue, sensing where my husband was going. "Absolutely not! I am not hiding on some distant planet waiting to give birth and then give up our baby."

Obi-Wan watched me for long moments before pacing around the room, almost proving my assumptions were correct. "It would keep the baby safe."

He had been seriously considering this! "No, I am not giving up my baby. After raising Sasha, how can you even consider this? How can you be so cold?"

Obi-Wan turned around, his eyes a strange mix of sorrow and determination. "If it keeps the child safe, then yes."

I stopped and stared at my husband, wondering what was behind this, nearly amazed I somehow was not falling into hysterics. "Obi-Wan what's wrong? What is really going on?"

He didn't say anything for the longest time. When he walked closer to me, I reached out to pull him down beside me. Hoping to comfort him, I reached up, running a hand through his hair.

"Meagan, Sasha has nearly been taken from us several times now and she is barely five years old."

"I know." I hoped to sooth my husband. "The children will be safe and protected in the Temple."

Obi-Wan looked so troubled, that I knew it was more than that. Finally, he spoke. "There is a Sith after Sasha, possibly more than one. I do not think he will stop hunting her until it is decidedly over one way or another. I do not want our enemies to know we have another child."

I certainly understood his reasons, the line of thinking behind his decisions, but there must be another way. "Obi-Wan, I do not think this is the answer."

He pulled me against him and we held each other for several long moments until he spoke again, tentatively and quietly. "Meagan, I have been meditating about this, I feel this strongly. This is the right decision."

I pulled back and stared at my husband. "I am not giving up my baby, ever." We stared at each other and I knew I could not completely dismiss his instincts, but could not do what he was wanting to do. "Obi-Wan could you really, in the end, do this?"

He was quiet for long moments, looking away. "It would not easy but if the baby was better protected, I would. She or he would be at the Temple so at the very least we would be able to quietly check on the child."

"This is not the answer." I ventured several minutes later. "Our family is strongest when we are all together, including this new little one." Obi-Wan sighed, not speaking but I felt he was troubled, though felt I had spoken some truth on the matter as well.

Some moments later, I spoke into the silence that had fallen between us. "Did you consider seeking counsel with Master Yoda or Windu? One or both of them may see or feel a path we do not."

My husband looked at me sharply for a moment but soon turned into a thoughtful one before nodding his agreement.

We held each other in quiet for some time before I began to nod off, suddenly feeling tired again. After he tucked me into our bed again, he leaned down kissing me rather sweetly. As he began to pull away, I felt his hand brush across my lower middle for a brief moment. It was just a moment and I did not feel he felt for the baby but it was enough to give me peace.

"Talk to me you two want?" Master Yoda greeted us as we entered the meditation room he was in several days later.

Both of us nodded, suddenly nervous like we were in trouble at school. It was silent for a long moment, Obi-Wan and I not sure of where to start.

"Sit down, discuss it we can." Master Yoda hobbled over toward one of the cushions and sat down.

Obi-Wan squeezed my hand before we followed his lead, sitting down across from him.

"Tell me you are or guess it should I?" Master Yoda said after another moment or two of silence.

Obi-Wan and I glanced at each other before I spoke quietly. "Master Yoda, I'm pregnant."

The older Master did not seem overly surprised. "Felt something different around you I have." He gazed from one of us to the other. "Concerned about this you are?"

Over the next few minutes Obi-Wan explained his thoughts and ideas while Master Yoda listened intently.

It was a tense silence before Master Yoda spoke again. "Agree with you Obi-Wan I do." I was shocked, hoping I would not have to give up my baby. "Keep this quiet to protect the little one we should."

I blinked away the tears, trying to fight the sudden panic welling within me when Master Yoda began to speak again.

"But raise this little Kenobi you should." I felt nothing but relief at his words.

"Then what should we do?" Obi-Wan asked, leaning forward.

Master Yoda sighed, his ears laid back, looking slightly troubled. "Happy news this should be, but dark times these are."

I agreed with his statement but did not think my husband thought so as he rose and began to pace around the room, his hands laced together behind his back. Though after a moment, Master Yoda motioned him to sit down again.

Once Obi-Wan was seated, Master Yoda closed his eyes and I felt the force suddenly swell around and through me. Just as quickly as it started it was over and there was a twinkle in the older Master's eyes, making me wonder what he felt or saw but did not ask.

"Created this baby together you two did, find the solution you will." With that he got up and began to leave the room, while Obi-Wan and I stared at him. Halfway to the door, he turned. "Trust each other's instincts you should."

Once the door closed shut behind him, we sat there in silence for a long time, Master Yoda's words soaking in.

"I guess I should have expected that." Obi-Wan ventured.

I agreed, rubbing my middle, feeling the baby, suddenly wishing Obi-Wan would start to bond with the little one.

"Meagan." I looked up in surprise to see him on his feet, reaching a hand down to me. "We should meditate together, Master Yoda is right."

I placed my hand in his, allowing him to gently pull me to my feet. "But after lunch, I am famished."

Obi-Wan chuckled as he led me from the room.

After several sessions of meditation and discussions, where I shed some tears, we came to an agreement of some kind. Obi-Wan, much to my relief gave up the idea of completely hiding away but was staying firm on keeping it as quiet as possible. I agreed with as long as we could keep the baby with us and did go along with not telling a lot of people with the exceptions of Padme, Ahsoka, Jema, Dede and Bant as they were all very suspicious of my behavior as of late and were our closest friends. Handling the rest of my pregnancy was something we would cross as it progressed but I did not have to worry about losing my baby.

Much to my relief Obi-Wan remained on planet, coordinating battle plans and helping teach classes, allowing us some time together and able to begin to make some peace with the coming baby and the decisions we had made. However, it was short lived as I, not my husband, was going to be called away from the relative safety of the Jedi Temple.

There was going to be some relief efforts events and rallies which I was invited to. I had known about one as I had worked with one of the groups even before the war and was well acquainted with the leaders and felt rather honored they requested not only my presence but wanted me to speak a few words. The other was a week or so later not too far from the first. I did not know this group as well as the other but knew how hard they worked to help other sectors that had been ravished by war to recover and rebuild. I was so excited to hear about this, that there was some good out there, despite the growing darkness.

Later that evening, I told my husband about it, who was not as excited about it as I was. In fact, he had the exact opposite reaction when I explained my plans of leaving.

"Absolutely not." Obi-Wan nearly growled at me. "You are not going anywhere in your condition."

"Obi-Wan, I am only pregnant." I stood firm, we were standing nearly toe to toe, glowering at each other. "I am not an invalid. I am perfectly capable of traveling and doing things still. This isn't the first time I've been pregnant you know."

"And look what happened then." He didn't look to be backing down at all.

Knowing he was referring to the incident where, just a couple months along with Sasha, I was held hostage and then months later was shot in a fly by shooting, forcing a premature birth. But, trying to make a point, I only said. "It all turned out well considering Sasha is a healthy happy little girl."

My husband glared at me. "I am trying to prevent something from happening again that could harm you or the baby."

"Obi-Wan, the conference is on a planet that the CIS have never shown an interest in and are not in a sector that they are even close to. It's not a war zone."

Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed. "That does not mean it never will be."

"I think you are being overprotective."

"Meagan, you are pregnant and we agreed no one outside of a few people are supposed to know and now you want to go promote relief efforts?"

"I am not showing and I am not feeling as tired or sick, no one will know."

He raised an eyebrow as his gaze dropped to my chest, then to my middle. My body was certainly changing but not enough where I could not hide it with clothes, but the night clothes I was wearing did show them at least enough for my husband to notice.

"It's not like I am going to be wearing this." I indicated my current attire.

"Meagan, you are not going anywhere, not until the baby is born."

I stared at my husband. "Obi-Wan, I will go absolutely crazy being locked up here. There are so many people that need help, I am not going to sit around and do nothing."

Obi-Wan sighed, his gaze softening. He took my hand, leading me over to the couch. He sat down, then tugged me into his lap. "You have done amazing work with relief efforts and had you not become pregnant I would not have had any issues letting you go."

I opened my mouth to protest but he put a finger over my mouth.

"This has nothing to do with your condition affecting your capabilities but with the Sith completely loose in the galaxy. It is also my job to protect my family."

I nodded. I understood it, didn't like it any more than Obi-Wan did that the Sith wanted our daughter, but I didn't want to feel useless. I turned quickly so he didn't see the sudden tears but was not quick enough.

"I'm sorry." He said quietly, reaching to wipe the few tears. "This really means a lot to you?"

I nodded. "I have been helping coordinate relief efforts with so many of them since the war started and a couple of them I have known from other projects before that. To turn it down now without much of an explanation would be considered rude."

He was quiet for long moments. "How long will this be?"

I explained the current plan again, wondering if he was changing his mind. He looked extremely thoughtful for the next few minutes before speaking again.

"No more trips off planet after this." He said, becoming almost stern like again. "And I am going with you to keep you…."

I did not even let him finish as I reached up to kiss him. "Thank you. And I do not get into trouble."

He gave me a look that clearly said yeah right. "This does go against my better judgement but I know you probably should be there and you are still able to hide it."

"Thank you." I said again before turning a bit more serious. "I know it is for our safety but I feel like we are letting them win being locked up in the Temple not able to help those that really need it."

Obi-Wan brushed a few loose curls off my face and shoulder. "I think you should be able to move around the planet, helping coordinate relief efforts, for as long as you can hide the baby." He gazed down at me. "You will not be useless and we will make sure there are things you can help with."

It was a fight not to burst into tears right then and there but I somehow managed and kissed him again. "I think I will go finish working on my speech then. We leave next week."

I was already beginning to get up when his hand tightened on my hand. "Did you already schedule another appointment with the Healers?"

"It's for after the trip, I believe. Why?"

"I would prefer you have a checkup before we go, just to make sure."

Knowing he would insist, I agreed.

A couple days later, I had a scheduled appointment in which the healers approved my trip, as long as I did not overdue it and was careful as the baby and I were doing fine. As we were beginning to pack one night, I decided to venture another topic to my husband. Once in flight, as there would be others around us, we would be unable to discuss the baby much, not wanting it to leak out.

"Obi-Wan, before we go, we probably should discuss telling Sasha she will not be an only child for much longer."

He looked up from his bag, surprised. "Do we have to discuss this now?"

"Well, we are not going to have much time to talk about it on the trip." I pointed out, placing some clothes in my bag. "Besides I am not sure when she may start to sense that I am feeling different."

Obi-Wan sighed, sitting down on the bed. "I guess you are right, I just had not thought about that."

I sat down next to him. "I figured that. I am not sure how she will react, if it will be anything like her reaction to Ahsoka."

"Well, she gets along with her now, so maybe it will not be so bad." Obi-Wan ventured. "She has learned she will always be loved and cared for."

"But when should we tell her?"

Obi-Wan shrugged. "I am not sure the concept of a baby will be real to her."

"She has been around babies and children younger than her in the crèche." I pointed out.

"Yes, but Meagan, the baby is not here yet and will not be for some time, it might be hard for her to understand that. Maybe we should wait to tell her."

I could see his point but knew we had to tell her sometime. "Yes, but should we not prepare her for it? This is a big change for both of us and will certainly be for her too."

He was silent for some moments before agreeing. "Hmm. You do have a point."

We did not seem to be getting anywhere with this as we went back to packing. It was later as we laid in bed together, the topic came back up.

"Meagan, we are leaving in two days, we do not have much time to tell her." Obi-Wan pointed out. "It will be a change for her but we should make sure we have the time to spend with her to talk to her about it."

I nodded in agreement. "It will give us time to think about how to answer her if she asks where babies come from."

Obi-Wan groaned. "Not that already."

"She will probably ask, you know how curious she is." I mused as I cuddled next to my husband.

"I know." He grumbled again, nearly making me laugh. He leaned over, kissing me gently. "We had better get some sleep, we have some work to do before leaving."

As if on cue, I yawned as Obi-Wan settled the covers around us and turned off the lights. We rested in each other's arms as we drifted off to sleep.

Now for the quote, continuing with our current topic of babies and pregnancy, from Three Men and a Baby. (For those of you who have not seen it, it's a great movie from 1987 and is absolutely hilarious.)

Peter Mitchell: [reading a review of a boxing match in a hushed, storytelling way] The champ caught Smith with a savage left hook...

Michael Kellam: What are you reading her?

Peter Mitchell: [responding to Michael in the same tone] It doesn't matter what I read, it's the tone you use. She doesn't understand the words anyway, now where were we?

AN:

Dimonah Tralon: Hello there! Congratulations on the changes in your life, but it's so good to see you again, that you still love our story and did a lot of reading to catch up! The sleep story was fun to put in and we could hear Obi-Wan's accent reading to her! Sasha has been such a fun character to create and build part of our story around and glad you took meaning from it. As for the latest plot, Obi-Wan was certainly shocked but figured getting upset wouldn't help them now as Meagan was already pregnant. It's going to be a fun ride with a new Kenobi on the way. Thanks again and hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
