Anakin Skywalker Imagines/Oneshots

Little Star

For the angsty oneshot before this, here is some domestic fluff, enjoy!
—————————————————

I stood by the window and held my baby boy in my arms. He was a good baby, rarely cried or fussed. But one obstacle he struggled with was bedtime, just like his father.

But unlike his father who was plagued by nightmares. Your baby boy was just a very light sleeper, and once he was up it was damn near impossible to put him back down. He would go to sleep rather quickly but it was a miracle if he stayed asleep the entire night. I rocked him in my arms as he fussed. I went out onto the porch of our cottage so his whimpers wouldn't wake Anakin and sat down in the rocking chair.

I held my son close to my chest as we rocked softly in the chair. I looked up at the stars that dazzled the night sky and began to sing.

"Twinkle twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?"

I looked down at my sleeping little boy and smiled. My mother would sing me that song as a baby and it had worked on me then too.

I felt a hand brush my shoulder and a kiss be placed on the top of my head. "I figured you'd be out here." Anakin whispered to not wake the baby boy who had finally settled down for the night.

"How long have you been here?" I ask in a whisper.

"Long enough to hear you singing, you truly have the voice of an Angel!" He said leaning over and kissing my cheek.

"We should probably put him down for bed?" I whisper handing Anakin his son gently so I could get up with ease. I walked Anakin and opened the door of the nursery so he could place him down in the bassinet.

I lean down and press a gentle kiss on his forehead. "Sweet dreams, my little star!" I whisper and he twitches in his sleep.

His drool spills out from the side of his mouth and onto the bedspread. I wipe the corner of his mouth and wipe the drool on my sleep shirt.

I feel arms wrap around me and lips brush my ear. "Let's get to bed, Angel!" Anakin whispers and I nod, already exhausted.

I allow Anakin to take my hand and pull me from our son's room to our own. He gets into the bed first and pats for me to lay down next to him. He wraps his arms around me and I nestle into the safety of his arms.

Anakin feels my breath even out on his neck and he knew I was asleep. He pulled me closer and smiled down at me.

His wife and son were the two most important people in his life. Obi wan and Ahsoka were a close third and fourth on that list but mainly it was (y/n) and Hayden.

Goodnight my little star!" He whispered before falling asleep himself.
