Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Epilogue

(y/n) POV:

~ 7 months later ~

"Anakin, you know that's not where that goes." I sighed, scolding my boyfriend who was currently attempting to put utensils into the medicine cabinet.

Like I've said before, his brain really can become a block of lead sometimes.

"They all look the same." He grumbled in response, and this time opened the correct drawer to place them in.

I rolled my eyes, but couldn't keep a smile from forming on my lips. If there's one thing Anakin could probably never be good at, it's house arrangement.

He sighed happily as he walked over to me, finally done with the chores I made him do around Padmé's lake house that she was kind enough to let us stay in.

"How are my loves doing?" He murmured as he held me gently by the hips, before sliding his hands over the dress I was wearing to hold the round lump that my stomach had become over these last few months.

All those months ago when we were stuck in the cave and had our alone time—as I call it—it didn't occur to us until about a month later that we didn't have any....protection with us at the time, which resulted in two very unexpected consequences.

When I first found out I was pregnant—after having thrown up almost every morning—I was terrified. Neither Anakin or I knew the first thing about parenting, and we were certainly not ready to jump into parenthood after having almost died and saving the galaxy.

It was a wild day altogether. Thankfully, both Yoda and Ahsoka's health and energy were restored the moment Palpatine had perished. And although much of Obi-Wan's energy had been consumed that day from his exertion during his force projection, he felt much better after a few days of rest.

And after the panic had subsided, the idea of having kids started to grow on me. The image in my head of Anakin and I raising a family together warmed my heart. From the beginning he promised me he would take care of me and our expectant twins. He has put so much dedication into ensuring we have the proper materials, and studied every parenting book there is.

And I started to feel more reassured when all of our friends agreed to pitch in and help any way they can. As of now, Anakin and I are living at the lake house, which we consider a safe place for the babies to be born.

After the other Jedi were freed, and the Temple was reclaimed, the galaxy slowly but surely began to pick up its broken pieces and rebuild itself. Padmé and Elijah are back in the Senate, with a new Chancellor, and an all around new Republic. Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Ahsoka went back to the Temple and worked together to change the ways of the Jedi, hoping to make it less controlling and apathetic, and more peaceful and progressive. The goal is to make a way for Jedi to be able to express their emotions safely instead of bottling them up.

And though Ahsoka still doesn't consider herself a Jedi anymore, she was more than willing to aid in changing their corrupt ways, seeing as that was what drove her out in the first place.

"We're perfect." I responded sincerely, wrapping my arms around Anakin's neck, running my fingers through his soft hair.

He gazed down at me with a look of so much love and awe, like I was the most precious thing in his entire world. "Do you know how beautiful you are?" He suddenly asked.

I shrugged, "I know." I responded simply, as if it was a well-known fact.

He smirked and leaned down to kiss me, slowly and passionately. Even now, after all this time together, I still found myself all but swooning from the effect his charisma has on me.

He chuckled against my lips, "You're still just as beautiful, even when you're fat." He teased, pulling away with a devious grin.

I scoffed, "You realize I have not only one, but two other force sensitive beings inside of me that will help me kick your ass?" I questioned with a head tilt.

"I am very well aware." He murmured amusedly, leaving me to finish washing the last of the dishes on the other side of the kitchen.

It's moments like these I often think how crazy it is that we've come this far. From the very beginning, our relationship has been such an adventure. Our whole lives we've only ever been just friends, until that one night where everything changed. There have been so many ups and downs, so much pain and heartache, so many lessons learned, but in the end we still found each other again. And rekindled our love into one stronger than it was before. We saved the galaxy, and we saved each other. And now we're going to have a family, and live out our dream of building a life together.

To think, everything that has happened is all the result of that one mistaken kiss that night, which led to us breaking the code.

(a/n): OMG I can't believe this book is done!🥺 I'm so so so happy and proud of myself; not only is this my first Anakin book, but it's the first book on here that I've ever finished! It makes me so emotional to think about because this story has a special place in my heart, and though I am sad it is over, I am also very glad to have seen it through❤️ It's been such an adventure from the very first chapter and I want to thank you all for staying this far, especially and-the-children-too
