Four months have passed and throughout them the tension between the Republic and Separatists grew. Along with my pregnancy.

I'm now nine months pregnant, but I'm not quite ready to give birth yet. I've gotten baggier clothes to hide my bump that's bigger than what we expected. Anakin nor I want to know the gender until I give birth.

"Caleb, you have improved. Your ability to focus is almost mastered. I'm proud of you." Caleb hopped off the rock pillar and landed in front of me. "Thank you Master. If it wasn't for your teachings, I wouldn't be here."

"You have done this yourself, I only gave you the distractions." I replied. "Master, you've given me directions and advice. This is all because of you."

"Alright, go get lunch. We'll practice some more after." I chuckled. Caleb went inside the Jedi Temple while I stayed outside. That's when my com link went off.

"General, we need you up here immediately. We're on board General Yularen's ship." Bodhi spoke. "Alright. I'll be there in a bit." I responded before turning the com link off.

Then, I sent a message to Caleb. "Caleb, Bodhi needs me. I'll message you when we can resume training." Shutting it off, I put it in my pocket and hopped into a speeder and went to the military base.

"Pilot, can you take me to the cruiser General Yularen is commanding?" I asked the man from outside the ship. "Yes sir."

"Thank you." I nodded and stepped inside. Grabbing the rope on the ceiling, the doors closed and we took off.

I felt the ship shake as we left the atmosphere, causing me to feel uneasy. Then it hit me. The food I ate for breakfast quickly came up my throat. Holding it in the best I could, I placed my free hand over my mouth.

"Almost there General." The pilot announced. Instead of responding, I kept quiet in fear of anything happening.

Finally, I felt the ship land. When the doors opened, I ran out and went to the closest garbage can to throw up. Once I was done, Bodhi came up to me, "You okay General?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Just not feeling well." I replied. Turning around to walk with him, we made our way to the command room. "What is it, Bodhi?"

"I think you should take a look for yourself." He said as the doors opened. The command room had Anakin and Obi Wan circled around the table.

Walking up to them, I saw what was shown on the table. The planet Coruscant. "What is this?" I asked.

"There are rumors that General Grievous is planning an attack on Coruscant." Obi Wan explained. Crossing my arms, I questioned, "Any idea when he will?"

"No, not that we know of." Crossing my arms, the ship alarm began blaring. "Separatist ships have come out of hyperspace." A man working in the command center yelled.

Clones that weren't working ran out of the room. Bodhi along with them. "I guess he is now." Anakin acknowledged. "Generals." A Clone spoke. "Yes?" We asked. "They have the Chancellor."

"No." I spoke under my breath. "We have to go now." Anakin declared. Running out of the room, we went to the hangar bay and got in our ships. Closing the door on my ship, I spoke to my droid, "Let's go, R7."

Lifting off, we left through the door over the hangar bay with other Republic gunships. Flying higher towards the Separatist fleet, I put on my headset. I hope I don't get sick.

"We have to get lower if we want to have a guaranteed landing." Obi Wan said. "Copy that." Anakin and I replied.

In formation, we went lower and flew alongside another Republic cruiser. We veered to the left and flew down towards the battle beneath the cruiser.

Stabilizing our ships, we flew towards the fleet, dodging debris and shots from other ships. "Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead. The one crawling with vulture droids." Anakin announced.

"Oh, I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy." Obi Wan replied. The vulture droids saw us and launched off the ship and came towards us.

"Oddball do you copy?" Obi Wan asked in the headset. "Copy, Red leader." He replied. "Mark my position. Form your squad up behind me."

"We're on your tail General Kenobi." The squadron grouped up behind us as the droids came in shooting distance. "This is where the fun begins." Anakin said. I could feel his smirk while he said that.

"Let them pass between us." Obi Wan advised. Shots began firing between the Clones and droids. "They're all over me. Get them off my-" the Clone's mic went static.

"I'm gonna go help them." I spoke. "No, they are doing their job so we can do ours." Obi Wan responded. Another Clone over the headset screamed.

Vulture droids ahead of us released four missiles towards us. "Missiles. Pull up." I told the others as I did. They obliged and the missiles missed us. "They overshot us." Obi Wan said. "They're coming around." I replied after looking behind and seeing the missiles turn around.

Two of the missiles came after me. "All right R7. Surge all power units. Stand by reverse thrusters." The engines roared as the immense power distributed throughout the ship as I started spinning the ship. Surprisingly, I didn't feel sick.

The missiles hit each other and blew up. "We did it." I smiled as the droid beeped. "I'm hit. Y/n?" Obi Wan asked. Looking next to me, I saw what hit his ship. "Buzz droids."

The droids were taking his ship apart but by bit. They even tore his astromech's head off. "Oh no." I whispered.

"They're shutting down all the controls." Obi Wan said. Moving behind his ship, Anakin told him, "Move to the right so I can get a clear shot."

"The mission. Get to the command ship. Get the Chancellor. I'm running out of tricks here." Obi Wan spoke. "We're not leaving you." I spoke.

Able to get a shot, he started firing at the wing of his ship. Although some were destroyed, his ship started smoking.

"Hold your fire! You're not helping here." He said urgently. "I agree. Bad idea." Anakin replied. "I can't see a thing. My cockpit's fogging." He added.

"They're all over me." Obi Wan stated. I flew up close next to him and scraped my wing onto his. Destroying most of the droids on it, one crawled onto my ship and went to R7.

"Get him, R7." I told the droid. He took out his electric part and held it out at the droid. "R7, hit the buzz droid's center eye." Anakin said. R7 hit the eye and the droid powered off and flew off the ship. "Nice shot." I said happily.

"The General's command ship is dead ahead." Anakin announced. "Well, have you noticed the shields are still up?" Obi Wan asked urgently. "Sorry Master." Anakin said. "Hold on." I responded.

Aiming my guns at the side of the hangar bay, I shot and destroyed the shields. The hangar bay door started to close immediately after.

"I have a bad feeling about this." I said. "Me too." Anakin replied. At the last second, we flew into the hangar and were greeted with droids.
