82-We

One month later: 9 months into pregnancy

(y/n)'s POV
I woke up to the feeling of being alone. I turned my head to the side to see that that's exactly what I was; alone.

Anakin was no longer in the bed with me. I checked the time to see that it was in the middle of the night. I sighed as I did my best to get myself up and out of the bed. My stomach was making it incredibly difficult, Im full term now and the baby was going to be coming any day.

Once I was successful, I waddled out of the room in search of my husband. I found him leaning in the doorway of the balcony, staring off into the outside world, "Ani?" I broke the silence of the room and his head turned to face me, a small smile spread across his lips when he saw me, "What are you doing out here?" I asked as I reached him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

His smiled dropped to a frown and he looked away from me, "It's nothing." He sounded sad when he spoke and it made my chest ache.

I grabbed ahold of his chin and pulled his gaze back to mine, "Please tell me what's bothering you." I pleaded softly as I moved my hand up to caress his cheek.

He sighed and grabbed my hand from his face to place a small kiss on my fingers, "I've been lying to you." He admitted, looking guilty.

I felt my heart drop, "About what?" I asked, becoming nervous, afraid of what he was about to say.

He still held my hand in his and he was playing with my fingers, his gaze staying on them as he spoke, "I never stopped having nightmares. I know I told you I did, but I was trying not to worry you, since you were no longer having yours." He looked up to me. I didn't see guilt anymore but instead it was replaced by fear.

"Come here," I walked into him and wrapped my arms around him to comfort him, "Don't worry Anakin, everything is going to be okay. I'm having dreams too."

He gripped my shoulders and slightly pushed me so our eyes could meet, his filled with urgency and worry, "What? I thought-"

"Calm down," I cut him off, "I said dreams, not nightmares." I smiled and caressed his arm, "We're on Naboo with our children. You're running outside with little Hayden and another little boy is following right behind you. While I'm watching with a smile on my face, caressing a new baby bump." His smile grew when I described the dream I've been having for the past month. I see so much happiness in our future. It's filled with love and family. I don't know why I switched from my nightmares to this dream. Ever since I had that talk with Anakin, things started changing. I was less worried, less stressed, and more positive. I'm not saying I wasn't still slightly worried or afraid. But it wasn't like it was before, where I was consumed by it. I was having a much easier time controlling how I was feeling now.

He sighed, still holding a smile, "Why can't I see things like that?"

"You know, someone once told me that our nightmares aren't always premonitions. That they can just be a manifestation of our worst fears." I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his hands on my waist.

He chuckled with a cocky smirk, "I wonder what genius said that."

I rolled my eyes and returned his chuckle, "If I remember correctly, it was Obi-Wan who said it first."

He shook his head, "Nah it was all me."

Little liar.

"This is what I love to see, you smiling," I lightly pinched his cheek, "Everything will be fine Ani, we're going to be happy." I saw an emotion go across his eyes when I said those last words, but it went by too quick for me to know what it was.
