71-So Be It

Anakin's POV

We stood at the window as we watched the droids marching up the steps, Rey stopped for a moment and her eyes lifted up and she met our gaze.

Give me (y/n), refuse, and I kill everyone inside. I only want her.

Her voice came to me and I looked to (y/n) who was eyeing me sadly. She heard it too. "She won't win." I assured her. Rey was insane, the temple still held clones and Jedi, not a lot of Jedi due to them being off world , disposing, and cleaning up the droids scattered everywhere. But it was still enough. I could feel her grief, she was being driven by the death of Maul, she has thrown everything out the window and now all she wants is my wife, and she's crazy if she thinks I'm going to let her have her. I saw (y/n) lift her hand to her stomach, I knew what she was thinking, if she wasn't pregnant she would have surrendered herself. I grabbed ahold of her hand, "I need you to go to my quarters and stay there, you lightsabers are in the back of my closet for protection. We will handle Rey."

Tears were in her eyes, "I don't want to leave you, what if something happens to you?"

I cupped her face gently and looked into her eyes, I didn't want to leave her either, "I know baby I don't want us to be apart either but trust me when I tell you that I'll be okay." I pressed a kiss to her lips before pulling away to look back into her sad eyes, "But I need you to protect yourself and our baby, so please go." I pleaded and she was hesitant for a moment and nodded. "I love you." I kissed her again roughly.

"I love you too." She responded after breaking away and she left to go hide in my quarters. I watched her leave and my heart ached for her, I'll see her again soon, but for now I need to keep her safe. I looked back out to the window and Rey was still there watching me like she was waiting for a response.

I refuse.

I saw her lips twitch in a smile like that was the answer she was hoping for before her and the droids began marching again.

That's when the alarm started blaring throughout the temple to let everyone know we were under attack.

(y/n)'s POV

As much as it hurt to leave him, I knew he was right. I ran down the hallways that were filled with people rushing to their speeders due to the sound of the alarm, everyone now knew the temple was under attack. I rushed past them in the opposite direction and they were all giving me funny looks. I stopped for a moment when I felt a pain in my chest, multiple pains all hitting me at once, I panicked and reached out to make sure Anakin was okay and to my relief I could feel him just fine. Then where did that pain come from?

 I had almost made it to Anakin's room when I bumped into Obi-Wan and Satine. "What in the blazes is going on?" He asked me when he saw my nervous state.

"It's Rey." I informed him.

He nodded, "I figured it was." He looked to Satine with an expression filled with worry.

"Don't worry Obi-Wan, I'll keep her safe." I held Satines hand and started to lead her to Anakin's room. "Now go, Anakin is already on his way to her!" I shouted as I rushed down the hallway.

Thank you.

Don't thank me, just return the favor by protecting Anakin.

You know I will.

I pulled Satine in the room and made sure the door was locked, "Are you sure we'll be safe in here?" She asked with worry in her voice.

"As long as Obi-Wan and Anakin don't let Rey or the droids get past the lobby." I sighed as I walked to his closet and pulled out my lightsabers, my beautiful white ones that I missed so much.
