Nightmares

Celebration

As the Jedi's ship landed, they were greeted with a celebration. Civilians were all over the landing platform, cheering for the ones who ended the War. Many had even brought gifts to show their appreciation. "Everyone looks so happy." Ahsoka remarked. "The War is over. There's a lot to celebrate." Obi Wan told her. Suddenly, Anakin sprinted off into the crowd. "Master. Where are you going?" Ahsoka asked. But she was too late. Anakin had already left. "Do you know where he was going?" Ahsoka asked Obi Wan. He just shrugged his shoulders. They continued to make their way through the enormous crowd. As they neared the entrance on the landing dock, they saw many Jedi and Senators waiting for them. Off to the side, away from everyone else, Ahsoka saw Anakin.

He was hugging someone, probably Padmé. She smiled at how happy her Master looked. "What is it?" Obi Wan asked. "I found Anakin." she said, gesturing to him and Padmé. Obi Wan smiled too. When they got to the group of Jedi/Senators, Ahsoka noticed Rex and Cody were there as well. "It's good to see you Commander." Rex greeted. "Not anymore. The War is over now, so it's just Ahsoka." she corrected. "Where's General- I mean..." Rex seemed confused on how to address Anakin now that the War was over. Although he called Ahsoka by her first name, he never called Anakin by his. Ahsoka knew what he was thinking. "Anakin saw a friend of his and ran off." she said, answering his question. "That sounds like him." Rex commented. Meanwhile, Obi Wan was conversing with Cody.

"Glad I am, to see you Master Kenobi." Yoda said. He was one of the Jedi in the group. The others were Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Shak Ti, Ki Adi Mundi, and the other members of the Jedi Council. "I'm just glad the War is finally over." Obi Wan said to the small Jedi. "Where is your Master?" Plo Koon asked Ahsoka. "He ran off with a friend of his." she replied. "Did you see who?" he asked again. "Someone he met a long time ago. They're very close." Ahsoka responded. Technically she wasn't lying. He met Padmé a long time ago, and they were very close. They continued to talk with the rest of the group until Ahsoka noticed Anakin leaving. "Excuse me one second." she said, running off to where he was.

When she caught up to him, she asked "Where are you going?"  "Back to our apartment. Padmé isn't feeling well." he replied. "Everyone is waiting for you. You can't just walk out." she shot back. Obi Wan came up as well. "Anakin where are you going?" "To our apartment. Padmé isn't feeling well." he repeated, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "She can fly herself." Obi Wan said calmly. "No she can't." "Why not?" "She's-" He was cut off by Padmé grabbing her stomach. He quickly went over to her, holding her upright. "I think I'm going to puke." she said. "Let's get you home." Anakin whispered to her. She nodded. "Wait, what's wrong with her? How did she get so sick?" Ahsoka questioned. "It's just morning sickness." Anakin said. "You should take her to a hospital." Obi Wan said. "No. We can't do that." Anakin said firmly. "Why not?" "Because." Anakin glanced around to make sure no one could hear him. "Padmé's pregnant." he whispered.
