41-Hope

(a/n Before you read this chapter I wanted to start off by talking about the test results. I understand that everyone has mixed feeling about what they want to happen and it's something I completely understand. But wether you agree with the results or not, so bare with me. Just keep in mind that despite what the test will say, not everything is going to turn out how you think it will.)

(Song on top starts here.)

Obi-Wan's POV
I sighed as I opened my eyes, "I don't think this is going to work." I whispered frustratingly to myself. It's been days and I haven't been able to reach Ahsoka, but it almost felt like it's because she didn't want to be reached. But I had to keep trying. I closed my eyes and focused again, "Ahsoka please, if you can hear me, I really need to talk to you."

"Go away Kenobi."

I finally heard her and even though I felt relief, I was also confused, "What; why? I don't know if you know what's happening but I need your he-"

"I know what's happening and I don't want to help you."

Why the hell wouldn't she want to help? This is Anakin we're talking about, she loved him more than anything, "I don't understa-"

"Open your eyes." She instructed and I did, she was standing in front of me with a blue glow around her. She stared down at me with a solemn expression.

I stood up and her eyes followed me, "Ahsoka." I whispered, almost like I couldn't believe she was really here. This was the first time I'd seen her since..

"I only showed myself so I could tell you to give up already. I do not wish to help you." She shook her head as she sighed.

I eyed her confused, "Why? I'm trying to help Anakin, he's being deceived by-"

"He was deceived because you allowed him to be!" She shouted in anger, "I was there Obi-Wan, I watched everything. I saw how you turned your back on him like you turned your back on me. I sat in that cell with him the entire time, hoping he would feel me so he didn't feel so alone. But he couldn't, because you decided to cut him off from the force." She eyed me with so much anger and sadness, "Do you know how hard it was to watch him cry like that for an entire week and not be able to do anything about it; how could you, of all people, do that to him?"

A tear fell from my eye as I felt the pain and guilt over what I had done to him, "I tried to change their minds, I tried getting him out of there, but Master Windu convinced the council otherwise and also they had the influence of Palpa-."

She shook her head to cut me off as she took a step forward, "You didn't try hard enough. If I was alive, I wouldn't have bothered with the shitty council, I would have gotten him out myself." She growled and I knew she was right. I could have tried harder, but I was afraid of going against the council. It's the biggest mistake I have ever made and I know, I will never forgive myself for it. My brother needed me and I failed him.

I sighed sadly as I dropped my head down, "I know; but it's too late to change anything. All I can do now is try to save him," I looked back up to her, "I have to know who killed you."

"You already know the answer to that question." She responded as she looked away from me, "When he found me, I thought he was trying to help me, but I was wrong. Next thing I knew, my whole body felt like it was on fire," She flinched at the memory as she met my eyes; tears were falling from hers, "Force lightning hurts a lot more than you think."

"I'm so sorry Ahsoka, we should have believed in your innocence. It is our fault that you were killed, I can only hope that one day you will forgive me." I let out a regretful sigh.

"I wouldn't hold my breathe," She eyed me up and down, "I hope you know that I rooted against you that day." She revealed and I already knew what day she was talking about, "Don't get me wrong; The whole attack on the temple, it hurt me to watch. It hurt to see what he had become and what he was doing, I screamed and begged for him to stop, but even through all of it, I blamed you most off all. He needed you Obi-Wan, I wouldn't have blamed him if he did kill you."

Flashback
The ashy air of Mustafar was burning my lungs as I gazed into the yellow eyes of someone I loved, someone I lost, "I hate you." He growled as he stood above me with his crimson lightsaber to my neck, "I should kill you for what you did to me." A tear fell from one of his eyes and his hand was shaking as he contemplated his next move.

"I'm so sorry," Was all I could say as I kept my eyes locked on his.

He shook his head with a look that was mixed with both sadness and anger, "Sorry isn't good enough." He growled as he lifted his blade up and I closed my eyes, waiting for it to happen. But it never did. I opened my eyes to see him struggling, "Why can't I do it?" He spoke low, like he was talking to himself and not to me.

"I know you said sorry isn't good enough, but I am. And despite everything that's happened today, I do still love you." I spoke soft and low, hoping I could reach him.

He looked down at me sadly, his eyes shifted from blue to yellow, until finally landing back on the sickening yellow, "I don't believe you anymore." He lifted his foot, "Next time I see you, I'll be strong enough to do it." He kicked me in the face, then everything went black.

Flashback

I woke up later and he was already gone. Back then I didn't understand why he didn't kill me, he easily could have. I do now though, a part of his old self was still there, the part that loved me. But over the years, it all changed as the darkness in him grew. The love was replaced by hate, and it was very clear that he had every intention to kill me that day on the Death Star.

I nodded with another tear falling from my eye, "I was rooting against me too," I sighed sadly and decided to move on, "Why haven't you tried talking to Anakin and telling him about Palpatine so he could know the truth; Surely you don't think the life he has now is any better than what he had before?"

She shook her head, "Of course not, I've tried reaching him, I try almost everyday." She sighed heavily, "But you and I both know, this connection is a two-way street, a street that he has completely closed off. I can still see him though," She let out a small smile, "I've been watching over him, sometimes, I avoid being around there when he's doing things I don't want to see," She shivered at a memory I'm sure she had that she'd rather not think about, "But it's nice seeing him happy for once. Despite being a slave to the Empire." She looked sadly to the ground.

"Listen, I know you're angry with me."

Her eyes shot up to give me a hateful glare, "Thats an understatement."

I sighed, "I know; but I can't do this without you." I pleaded to her and her expression remained a solemn one, I knew she wanted to get Anakin away from Sidious as much as I did, "I think you know what will happen if Palpatine finds out about her. He might not kill Anakin, he's valuable to him. But he will definitely kill that girl and make Anakin watch as he does. So please, put aside your hatred and help me, I know you want to save him." I begged and I waited for her to respond.

Finally she sighed, "Of course I want to save him, it's what I've been trying to do everyday. It's you I don't trust.. I've watched you try to kill him twice; can I actually trust you to want to help him and not hurt him?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

I nodded, "Yes you can, I promise. I only tried those methods back then because I thought all hope of getting him back was lost, but now I know, there is hope."

She nodded back, "This isn't going to be easy."

(Song ends here.)

(y/n)'s POV
Everything began to move in slow motion when those words left Pietts mouth, "You're pregnant." He said, I instantly felt sick and I buckled over the sink to let out the contents of my stomach. Anakin grabbed ahold of my hair and held it back for me.

"It's okay," He gently rubbed my back as the tears poured from my eyes, "We'll figure it out." I know he was hoping his words would be soothing, but the shakiness of his voice completely defeated the purpose. He was just as freaked out as I was.

I finished throwing up and breathe heavily over the sink as I turned on the water so I could brush my teeth, "Give me a minute." I told both of the men that were currently eyeing me with concern. I saw them nod in the mirror and they left so I could brush my teeth in peace, once I finished, I set the brush aside and turned off the water, "Fuck." I banged my fist against the sink. What the hell am I going to do? I can't raise a kid here, can I? And what happens if people find out it's the baby of Darth Vader? They'll most likely come after him or her. Or even me, to stop it from being born. To everyone, they're going to see this baby as a product of pure evil.

I know what the smart decision would be, it would be to get rid of it. But a part of me didn't want to. To me it wasn't Darth Vader's baby, it was mine and Anakin Skywalker's baby. A product of our love, proof that he's still good.

I placed my elbows on the sink and dropped my head into my hands as I began to softly cry. I was afraid to make a decision I would regret.

I had to talk to him, to see what he believes we should do, maybe he will be able to think more clearly than me, I am much more emotional than he is. I sighed as I stood up straight and wiped my tears away before going for the door, that's when I heard shouting.

I opened the door to see something I never thought I would see. Piett was scolding Anakin, "Did I not warn you?" He folded his arms over his chest as he stared down at Anakin who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glaring up at Piett with an irritated look, "If I remember correctly, I did, like twenty times!" He sighed as he ran his hands through his hair. Anakin lifted his hand up like he was about to do the thing he was famously known for and Piett pointed a finger at it, "Don't you dare, I'll tell (y/n)." He threatened and Anakin instantly dropped his hand down with a sigh of defeat, I leaned in the doorway of the bathroom and watched them with amusement, "What happened to the condoms I gave you?"

Anakin pointed to his dresser, "Top drawer."

Piett walked over and pulled them out, "Wow unopened, I'm not surprised." He tossed the box behind him and it fell to the floor.

"You don't need to yell at me, I know we fucked up." My fiancé dropped his head into his hands with a sigh.

Pietts annoyed expression dropped into a sincere one, "What do you want to do?"

Anakin responded without looking up at him, "I honestly don't know. I want it because it's part of me and her, someone I love more than anything and I know being a mother is something she always wanted and she gave it up to be with me. But then if I think logically, I don't, because how would that even work? I'm not normal and neither will that kid be normal. They will never be safe here, life on the Death Star is not a life for a child. And I can't leave here to run off and have a family either, as much as I would like to, but I'm bound in chains to this place," He sighed as he looked back up to his friend, "But it all comes down to her and what she wants, I won't make this decision for her, it's her choice."

"What if I don't know what I want either," I spoke up and both their heads turned to me at the same time. I mean, I do know what I want but.."I'm really scared to make the wrong choice." I felt the tears return and Anakin jumped up and rushed to my side to pull me in a hug.

"No choice is the wrong one as long as it's what you want." He whispered as he gently caressed my hair in order to soothe me, "I'll be with you through whatever you decide, and I will make it work."

I pulled away and looked up to his calming blue eyes, "Anakin, I want it."

(a/n These next few chapters are going to be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster so I hope you're prepared 💕)
