Ahsoka: Return of the Sith

Chapter 3: Family

Jedi Master Ahsoka Tano and her Padawan Ashla Tami rescued, having barely escaped Count Dooku, the Jedi rush back to Curoscant. When they make it there, will life get better, or will a new threat snuff out the light?

Anakin point of view

I was pacing, I mean, actually nope. I'm pacing, and probably gonna go insane. Ahsoka was so badly injured, but we saved her. Just getting her into the cruiser seemed to help her drastically, like, really.

Her vitals have skyrocketed, and she's now stable. She just looked awful, but I can't blame her. Lux was with me, holding Ahsoka's hand. While Ashla was asleep on the medical bed next to him, I've alerted Padmè that we're on our way back to Curoscant.

I looked at Lux, and noticed he had an expression of agonizing pain on his face. And I sighed, he was probably just as worried as I am for Ahsoka. This was far more torturous than when she got hurt as a Padawan!

"Master Skywalker, please sit down. Pacing isn't gonna do either of us or Ahsoka any good, it just makes the waiting worse." Lux Said, and I sighed.

"You're right Lux, I just can't help it. Old habits I guess, from back when she was my Padawan." I told him, and Lux nodded.

"I know, she's told me about those times. She always spoke about them with passion, she only regretted that she hurt you." Lux told me, and he sighed.

"She's something else, isn't she?" I Said, and Lux chuckled.

"That She is." He Said, then Ahsoka opened her eyes.

"Skuyguy, Lux." She Said weakly, and both where helping her instantly. She looked around and sighed, and her force signature radiated relief.

"Snips, how are you feeling?" I Asked, and she sighed.

"Hurt, but I'll manage. How's Ashla? Where is she?" She Asked, and Lux placed a hand on her shoulder. Then pointed to the bed next to her, so she turned her head. She visibly relaxed when she saw her padawan asleep on the medical bed, and the pod floating by Ashla.

"You saved us, I wasn't sure how much longer we were going to survive." Ahsoka Said, and I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Snips, you had your baby. Well, babies." I Said sadly, and she nodded.

"I know, but I never even got to see them." Ahsoka Said, and I turned to Lux. Lux nodded, he got up, and walked to the pod. I got up, and kissed Ahsoka on the forehead.

"I'll leave you four alone, I'm just gonna contact Padmé and the council." I told her, and she nodded. When I left, I turned and watched as Lux sat down next to Ahsoka on the bed, and handed her her one of their daughters.

"Lux, they look like you." Ahsoka breathed quietly, and Lux wrapped Ahsoka into a side hug.

"Did you name them?" He Asked, and she shook her head no.

"No, but I know the perfect names." Ahsoka Said, as she stared down at her daughters. Then Ahsoka looked up at Lux, a smile graced her features.

"Mina, Mina Bonteri." She Said, and Lux smiled.

"After my mother, it's perfect." He said, and then he kissed Ahsoka on the forehead. She smiled and looked at the child in his arms, and she had a content smile on her face.

"Kalifa, Kalifa Bonteri." She told him and he raised an eyebrow at that and a tear slipped down her face, "that was the name of a Jedi youngling I met on Wassak that the trandosians killed before we managed to escape." She clarified and he nodded.

"It's perfect," he told her and Ahsoka yawned. "Rest, you need to rest now." Lux Said, as he picked up their children. Ahsoka nodded, then lied down and slept. I smiled, she was safe. As where her padawan and children.

I made my way to the bridge of the cruiser, and then contacted the Council. They answered, and looked nervous. Don't blame them, Ahsoka's condition was still delicate.

'Rescued Master Tano, have you Skywalker?' Master Yoda Asked me, and I nodded.

"Yes Master, we successfully rescued both her and her Padawan Ashla Tami. As well as her newborn daughters." I told them, and they grew saddened by this news.

'How is she?' Master Ti Asked me, and I sighed.

"When we first rescued her, she was bad. However, her condition is improving every minute. Her padawan and Ahsoka herself are extremely weak, both are sleeping as we speak." I told them, and they nodded.

'Good, good to hear, that news is. To the halls of healing she will go, to get treatment and rest. Prepare for you, we will.' Master Yoda Said, then the call ended.
