(y/n)'s POV
"If you plan to be Mrs.Skywalker, you're going to have to do better than that." Anakin teased me as he held his lightsaber to my neck. I rolled my eyes as he retracted the blade and offered me a hand. As soon as I got to my feet; I smacked him on the arm and he gave me irritable scowl, "What the hell was that for?"

I shrugged as I called my lightsaber to my hand and placed it on my belt, "For cheating."

His annoyed expression dropped into an amused one and he shook his head with a chuckle, "We both know I didn't cheat, you're just a sore loser." He pushed my against shoulder playfully; causing me to chuckle as well. My head slightly pounded from the constant headache I've been having lately. No matter how many times I take a pain killer, it barely dulls the pain. The best way to describe what it feels like is; someone clawing at my brain constantly. It was aggravating and it's been putting me in a sour mood lately. I rubbed my temples slightly to help ease the pain, "Again?" My fiancé asked in a concerned tone as he stepped in front of me. He brought his hand to my chin to lift my head up; bringing my gaze to his crystal blue irises.

I don't know how it's even possible, but his gaze alone is enough to soften some of the torment. I nodded, "Yes and I don't know why it won't go away." I sighed in frustration.

He rubbed my shoulder with his other hand, "Maybe you should go back and see the doctor, you have had quite a few concussions." He spoke to me a soft and caring tone, "We can go now if you want, I'll take you."

I shook my head, "No, they're most likely just going to give me more pain killers and then Master Yoda is gonna think I'm ill again or something." I rolled my eyes. I removed his hold from me and walked over to the side of the mat to pick up my water.

"Ah here, you two are." Master Yoda walked in with a little ginger haired youngling next to him.

"Hey Master Yoda," I smiled at him weakly to hide my discomforting condition, but I didn't acknowledge the child. I don't know what it is about younglings, but I'm not a fan. Probably from the endless classes I've had to teach and they drove me completely insane. I'm not saying I wouldn't want any of my own one day, sure, but only one. And that is only if Anakin wants any, if not, then zero is cool too.

He smiled in return with a nod, "Have something for you I do." His smile looked a bit mischievous and it was making me incredibly nervous. My eyes darted between him and the boy. Oh this better not be what I think it is, "This is your padawan." He gestured to the boy and my smiled immediately dropped.

"Hi I'm Cal Kestis." The kid smiled and held a hand out to me.

I shook my head and waved my hands in front as I heard Anakin laughing from behind me, "Hold on, hold on, no I did not order one of these." I pointed to the boy who's hand dropped with a confused look.

Yoda scowled at me with a head shake for the response I gave, "Next step to becoming a Master this is. Have a choice, you do not. A wonderful Jedi you are, a wonderful teacher you will be."

I sighed in annoyance as Anakin continued to laugh, "This is too good." My fiancé placed a hand on my shoulder, "I know how much you've always wanted one." He teased sarcastically, he knows how much I've never wanted one. I smacked him roughly on the arm; which only humored him more.

Master Yoda began to laugh too; causing us both to look at him with furrowed brows, "Funny is it? Come in you can." He spoke a little louder and stepped to the side; a young Togruta girl came into view from the doorway, "Yours this one is." He smiled happily up at Anakin who's jaw dropped to the floor. Now it was my turn to give him a smug grin.

He shook his head instantly and wagged his finger, "Oh no, never mind. I'm with (y/n) on this, we didn't order these." His gloved finger pointed between the two children.
(I really made y/n and Anakin talk about their Padawans like they're Amazon packages LOL)

I gave him an amused look,"Oh? But I thought you've always wanted one." I teased him just as he teased me only moments ago, he glared daggers at me with his eyes.

The Togruta stood next to Cal and smiled up at us, clearly not reading the room, "Hi, I'm Ahsoka Tano." She held her hand out just as Cal did earlier; invoking him to try again and so he held his hand out to me once more.

Anakin and I both sighed together, knowing we had no say in the matter. As well as not wanting to get hit with Yoda's cane, who was holding it right now, ready to go if we didn't accept these younglings hands.

So reluctantly, we both reached forward and gripped the hands of our new inconveniences.

~*~•~*~

"Where are we going Master?" Cal spoke to me from my side, where he's been stuck at for the past two hours.

I let out a heavy sigh, as much as I didn't want this. I had to at least try, it's not his fault after all, "I'm introducing you to the battalion Cal, you're their new Commander." I half-smiled at him; his eyes brightened with excitement and I couldn't help but let out a little smile in return.

So far he hasn't done anything to irritate me, he actually seems like a sweet, well-behaved, genuine kid. Maybe I just got lucky. Oh god I hope I didn't just jinx it by thinking that.

"Hey don't get snippy with me!" I heard Anakin shout from behind me and I stopped to turn around to where his voice came from. He was currently scolding his new Padawan, it seems he wasn't as lucky as I was, "You could have gotten me killed!

"But I didn't!" She argued back with the same tone as him and I pressed my lips together to hold in a laugh, this was fun to watch.

Anakin rolled his eyes which caused his gaze to meet mine and he scowled at my obviously amused expression, "What's so funny?" He snapped at me and I raised my brow at him. He'll be sleeping alone if he thinks he's gonna give me that attitude.

I stepped towards him; Cal following obediently by my side, "Excuse me?" I asked in a threatening tone.

His expression fell into an apologetic one, "I'm sorry (y/n), I didn't mean to snap at you," He sighed as he rubbed his forehead, "I'm just mad at this little irresponsible child." He glared down at her and she rolled her eyes.

"I didn't even do anything." She whined at him then looked up to me with sad eyes. I started to feel bad for her, he was making it too obvious that he didn't want her around.

"It's been two hours, what could she have possibly done?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.

He laughed humorlessly, "Where do I start? First," He held up the end of his robe up to show a piece of fabric that was singed, "She burned my robe."

"That was an accide-"

He held a finger up to her, "Shush, second," He pointed to a very small mark on his chin that I didn't even see until now, "She nicked me with her lightsaber." Drama queen, you can barely see it; I doubt it even hurt him. This guy has lost a hand, a small burn should be nothing comparison.

She shrugged, "You should've ducked."

I'm actually really starting to like this girl.

He shot her an irritated scowl, "Third, she almost crashed my speeder, thankfully R2 was with us and he stopped us from colliding with a building." My jaw dropped before I finally buckled over and burst out laughing, why would he let a kid drive a speeder?  "It's not funny!" He shouted at me; annoyance clear in his voice.

I stood up straight; recovering from my laughter, there were even some little giggles from Cal next to me, "That is so on you, why would you let a child drive a speeder Ani?" I shook my head at him with a raised brow.

He sighed as he rubbed his temples, "She said she knew how." He groaned and closed his eyes like he was trying to push the traumatic moment out of his mind.

"And I do know how, but it was hard to focus with your constant nagging." She rolled her eyes with a sigh, poor girl is clearly trying, but he's barely giving her a chance.

"You two get aquatinted," I gently nudged Cal in Ahsokas direction, "You'll be seeing a lot of each other since Anakin and I tend to work together quite often." I informed them and Cal looked extremely shy when his eyes met Ahsokas, then he looked back up to me.

"What about the battalion?" He questioned in his soft innocent voice.

"I'll take you to the battalion later Cal, I'm gonna talk with Anakin for a bit. You two go do whatever kids do and we'll come find you later." I waved them off and they both nodded before walking awkwardly next to each other down the hall. They'll get comfortable and become friends eventually.

I turned to Anakin who was staring at the two younglings as he shook his head, "Please tell me you're having as hard of a time as I am." He faced me sigh.

I turned to the side to see a storage closet and I nodded towards it, "Get in." He raised his brows with excitement in his eyes. I shook my head with a snort, "Not for that, just to talk privately." I opened the door to the closet and gestured for him to go inside.

We both stepped in and I closed the door behind me, "So were not gonna have sex?" Is that all that's on this mans mind? Who am I kidding, of course it is.

"No Anakin, I want to talk about how you're treating your padawan. I didn't want one just as much as you didn't , but that doesn't mean you should take your anger out on her." I folded my arms across my chest as I scolded him.

"I'm not." He responded in the same frustrated tone I was giving.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes you are, you're not even giving her a chance. Shes still just a kid."

He leaned against the shelf as he crossed his arms, "Yeah a kid that doesn't belong in a war zone (y/n), this is not a good time for us to be getting this responsibility." He snapped at me. This is the reason I brought us into the closet, I knew it'd become a fight and I didn't want word getting to Yoda or Obi-Wan.

"I don't disagree, but that doesn't explain why you're being so harsh on her. You're hurting her feelings." I snapped back as I remembered the sad look in her eyes. I may not be a fan of younglings, but I still have a soft heart.

He shrugged with an annoyed look in his eyes, "She was being careless, and it shouldn't matter to you. It's my fucking padawan, not yours." His tone became harsher and I took a step back.

I took a deep breathe, "You clearly forgot who you're talking to, so until you decide to apologize to both me and that girl. You can sleep alone." I growled as I turned around to leave.

"Fine with me." He remarked back as I pushed the door open and stormed down the hallway.

~*~•~*~

I sighed sadly as I stepped into my room and dropped onto my bed. I was already regretting that stupid fight, but I know I was right and he shouldn't have spoken to me that way. After that happened, I went to find Cal and introduced him to the battalion. They all seemed to absolutely love him and I even left him with them to come here and sulk.

My head was still pounding, so I got up from my bed and stepped into my bathroom to get the pills I was all too familiar with. I opened it and eyed the almost full bottle, it was a new one since I was going through these so fast.

Take them all

I jumped and looked around the room. That didn't happen, it's not happening again. I'm fine. I took a deep breathe to calm myself down and took three of the pills. It's just from the headache, It's all going to be fine.

I walked out of the bathroom after turning the light off and closing the door behind me. Ever since all that stuff happened, I only feel comfortable with it closed now. And since I'll be alone tonight, it's definitely staying closed.

Or so I thought. The door behind me opened, I didn't see it; I heard it. I froze in the spot I was in and swallowed nervously. Please tell me I'm imagining this. Please tell me this all isn't happening to me again.

I slowly started to turn around and the corner of my eye landed in the darkness of the now opened bathroom. Then I heard dripping from the faucet, was that dripping the whole time? No, I only started hearing it now. I know it turned it off fully.

Suddenly my head started pounding worse than it has and I gripped it in pain as I fell to my knees, "Hello my daughter." I heard a whisper in my ear as well as the faint blow of a cold breathe on my neck, "The time to come home is approaching."
