So, I decided to rewrite it (AGAIN) to make it x reader. So yeah, here it is, I hope you enjoy

(Next Part)

*Que the Main Theme*

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.

As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor....

Anakin sighed as he stared at the holophoto of Y/N. He missed her deeply. It had been about 6 months since he had last talked to her. He wished to go back to Coruscant. Go back and hold her in his arms again. He loved her more than anything and wanted nothing more than to see her. He clicked a button and his smile grew slightly more as it was a photo of her and Ahsoka. It was slightly old, which he could tell by what Ahsoka was wearing. He hated that outfit of hers. He felt like it made her something she wasn’t and left her too open to attacks.

He accidentally pressed something and a new image appeared. This one was not long after he and Y/N had married. It was even certain it may have been the same week. Some of her hair was pulled back into twin buns as the rest was down straight. The side of her eyes were crinkled and her mouth opened in a smile. She was midlaugh. Her hand though. Her hand was out reaching to him. He moved his hand out, trying to grab hers.

He jumped when he heard the hiss of the door opening. Quickly, he went and turned the holograms off and turned around. His eyes meeting the eyes of his former Masters. He gave Obi Wan the typical smile he had the past 3 years. It was different from the one he used to, but neither of them acknowledged it. Neither wanted to delve into that topic as both knew one, if not both, of them would end up saying things that they never did, and never dared, to say to the other.

Obi Wan coughed, “We’re as close to Grievous’s ship as anyone wants to get. They’re having us go and deploy our starfighters.”

Anakin nodded, “Of course Master.”

Obi Wan gave him a look that Anakin knew. Obi Wan was never a huge fan of Anakin calling him master. Especially considering his past. And now that Anakin was no longer his Padawan, he felt a lesser need for him to be called that by Anakin.

But neither said a word as he left the room. Obi Wan stayed for a moment and surveyed the room. He knew why Anakin was here and why he was so quick in his movements. He just never understood why he was never told. Sure, it was against the code, but Anakin had never let it get in the way of being a Jedi. And Obi Wan respected him for that. For he knew that if he and Satine had continued their secret love affair, they wouldn’t have been able to hide it as well as the two of them could. Even if they could possibly hide it better.

Away on Coruscant, Y/N stood on her balcony. A hand was over her mouth and under her nose. Another on her stomach. She stared out into the busy streets of the city. In the distance she could see the Jedi Temple. She sighed and pushed her hair away from her face. She wasn’t sure how she was to tell Anakin. Never had they had a conversation about this before. Mostly because she was pretty sure they both thought it would never happen. But of course with their luck it had to. And it had to happen during a war and at a high point with neither side being at a lead. But she had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen and somehow Anakin was going to get mixed into it all.

She looked down at the hand on her stomach. She felt bad. But this was the first time since before she found out that they had talked! Nearly 6 months had passed! Although it was getting harder, she had been clever enough to make sure no news outlets knew. Maker knows what they would say.

‘Former Deadly Assassin, Hitwoman, and Bounty Hunter Y/N Y/L/N Pregnant! Theories On Who The Father Is On Page 7!’

She rolled her eyes as she thought of one of the possible titles. She found it stupid. Why couldn’t people just simply ignore these things? She shook her head as she walked back into her living room. She sighed, she mostly didn’t want any news to pick up on it for the fear that what if Anakin found out through that and not through her. She would feel horrible if that happened.

But she shook her head again and decided to distract herself. Afterall, this time next week she could easily be in Anakin’s arms again. Something she had missed immensely these past months.

Anakin flew through space, trying to get inside General Grievous’s ship. Obi Wan flew next to him. Clones were all around. And in this moment he wished that he had asked at least Jesse to stay with him instead of going with Ahsoka.

He looked down at the translator as he heard R2 beep. He nodded, “Lock onto him, R2.” His droid beeped again, “Master, General Grievous’s ship is directly ahead, the one crawling with Vulture Droids.” Maker did he hate Vulture Droids. Not because they were difficult. No. It was because they were annoying.

“Oh, I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy.”

Anakin wasn’t sure if he was serious or sarcastic, but he didn’t care much as he just wanted to get this over with. He missed sleeping in a warm bed. And he especially missed holding Y/N in his arms.

He smirked as he noticed the clones coming up behind them. And for some reason, he just said the first thing that came to his mind. “This is where the fun begins.”

He practically felt the eyeroll that was sure to have come from Obi Wan before he spoke, “Let them pass between us.”

They both began to fly and avoid getting hit. Unfortunately he couldn’t say the same for the Clones. Which is why when he heard that the vulture droids were all over Oddball, he wanted to help. He began to turn his fighter, “I’m going to go help them out.”

But he stopped when he heard Obi Wan, “No. No, they are doing their job so we can do ours.”

As much as he didn’t want to listen. He knew he had to. And he was thankful that he did as he saw the missiles coming towards them. “Missiles. Pull up.”

The missiles missed them, “They overshot us!”

Anakin shook his head, “They’re turning around.” Maker did he hate these types of missiles. He began to click some of his buttons and spoke to R2. “Surge all power units, R2. Stand by reverse thrusters.” He smiled as he felt himself spinning. This was his favorite thing to do. Reckless things that could get him in a lot of trouble if they went wrong. But, when he heard the two missiles crashing into one another he gave a small chuckle, “We got ‘em R2.”

He began to fly in order to find Obi Wan. And of course when he did, Obi Wan happened to be in trouble.

“I’m hit. Anakin?”

He rolled his eyes slightly. He always was saving him. “I see them. Buzz Droids.” They were always annoying. Taking apart your ship. He saw the red top of R4 and he grimaced. That poor droid.

“They’re shutting down all the controls.”

Anakin looked quickly, “Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them.”

Obi Wan stopped him, “The mission. Get to the command ship. Get the Chancellor. I’m running out of tricks here.” Anakin ignored Obi Wan. There was no he was going to leave him there. He hit a few droids and held back a laugh as he heard Obi Wan groan and say “Oh for the love of--!” They moved around more and Obi Wan continued with, “Hold your fire! You’re not helping here.”

Anakin agreed, “I agree. Bad idea.”

“I can’t see a thing. My cockpit’s fogging.” Anakin looked and moved his fighter closer, “There all over me. Anakin!”

He saw an opening, but it would only be plausible if Obi Wan moved to the right. “Move to the right.”

And he should’ve known what the response would be before he said his statement. “Hold on, Anakin. You’re going to get us both killed. Get out of here. There’s nothing more you can do.”

Anakin shook his head, “I’m not leaving without you master.” One of the Buzz Droids jumped onto his ship next to R2. “Get him, R2.” As R2 was busy electrifying the droid, he remembered he needed to remind his droid to not get killed in a subtle way. “Watch out.”

“R2, hit the Buzz Droid’s center eye.”

When R2 did it, Anakin gave him a small smile, “Yeah, you got him!”

“Gret, R2.” And even though he was hiding it, Anakin could hear the proudness in Obi Wan’s voice. Which made him happy.

The two of them continued forward and he saw that Grievous’s ship was ahead and decided to tell Obi Wan. “The general’s command ship is dead ahead.”

R2 let out a scream and Obi Wan’s response was basically what his droid had just said. “Well, have you noticed the shields are still up?!”

All that ran through his mind was ‘shit’. “Sorry, Master.” He flipped his fighter over Obi Wan and shot the shields down.

But of course with their luck there was an emergency door that was shutting. And in all honesty, he fully agreed with Obi Wan’s statement, but he really didn’t care as whenever this happened, they always ended up alive and with a new memory. “Oh I have a bad feeling about this.”

The two of them barely made it in. Of course Obi Wan took a page out of Anakin’s book and leapt out of his fighter while Anakin took a page out of Obi Wan’s and waited for him to slow some before unbuckling and carefully leaping out. He quickly joined Obi Wan in defending themselves against the Battle Droids. And soon found them back to back.

“R2! Locate the Chancellor.” R2 wheeled away as the two Jedi quickly finished the Droids off. Once so, they walked over to the R2 unit, who was now showing the location of the Chancellor’s signal. “The Chancellor’s signal is coming from right there-” Obi Wan pointed to where the signal was, “The observation platform at the top of that spire.”

Anakin looked around, “I sense Count Dooku.”

Obi Wan joined him, “I sense a trap.”

Anakin looked over at Obi Wan, “Next move?”

Obi Wan looked over with a smile, “Spring the trap.”

R2 began to whistle at them and the two Jedi turned to him. “R2, go back. I need you to stay with the ship.” Anakin knew his droid wouldn’t like it, but he was their best chance of getting off of the ship alive if anything bad happened.

“Here,” Obi Wan took his communicator out of his pocket, “Take this and wait for orders.” He tossed the communicator to R2 and they walked away.

They walked down the hall and both were surprised to see Shaak Ti sitting in front of Grievous. Neither of them had known she had been taken off of Kamino. “Shaak Ti.”

She slowly lifted her head as the two of them got closer, “I’m sorry, Master Kenobi. I failed.”

“Ah. General Kenobi. We’ve been waiting for you.” Anakin looked Grievous up and down. He was much...shorter than how Snips had described him. “Stinking Jedi.”

Both Jedi quickly ignited their sabers as Grievous struck one of his into Shaak Ti. Killing her. But as they heard the ‘Roger’ coming from around, they knew it was too risky to use them. At least in that way.

“That was a bad-”

“Mistake.”

They both held back a smirk after Obi Wan finished Anakin’s sentence. They both knew that at some point, years from now, they were going to make fun of how Grievous coughed every-other-sentence, but now was not the time. “A tragic ending of a gallant warrior, no doubt.”

Anakin lightly rubbed the side of his chin with his finger. He knew that it would probably get shot down, but he had to try. “Hmm. Rescue, Anakin. Not mayham.”

“I look forward to adding your lightsabers to my collection.”

Then he moved his finger around his lips and lightly flicked his nose. “No, no, no, no.”

Anakin was getting slightly annoyed and looked away from Obi Wan. “This is no time to argue, Master.”

“Might I recommend-”

Obi Wan twisted his mustache and Anakin knew it would be too risky, “Far too many of them for that.”

Obi Wan hummed as Anakin lightly scratched his eyebrow and he and Obi Wan finally agreed. “Oh, yes. All right.” They both relit their lightsabers and turned to cut a circle below them. They both fell into the water with a splash. They placed their lightsabers away as they began to walk through the, most likely, electrical water. “The slightest charge will blast us into oblivion.”

And then Anakin pointed out the obvious, “That’s why they’ve stopped shooting.”

“Thank you General Obvious.”

Anakin rolled his eyes as they continued to walk through the water. “Well, we’re safe for the time being.”

Obi Wan held back a laugh, “Your idea of safe is not the same as mine.”

“Well, when you work with the 501st, your perceptions change.”

“Huh, and I wonder who made the 501st be the way they are.”

“And I wonder who made their General the way he is? Perhaps it was his Master who while obeying the rules also breaks all the rules at the same time.”

“Now is not the time for teasing, Anakin.”

Anakin just shrugged, “You started it, Master. You started it.”

At one point some B2 droids began to follow them, and as they were followed, the water began to go higher and they both knew that they were going to need to get out. Anakin found a hatch and went to open it. He laughed. It was too easy. They both climbed out and began to climb up the wall of what appeared to be a service vent. Anakin quickly found another way out when he saw the control panel on the side. He pressed a button and the small, circular door opened. He and Obi Wan crawled through the small space as quickly as possible. The second he saw the button to open the other door at the end, he was quick to press it and get out. If he hadn't grabbed onto the wall, he would have fallen, but that was not something he would admit to Obi Wan. And speaking of Obi Wan. Once he was out as well, Anakin quickly closed the door and used his saber to seal it shut.

“The blast will break the hull. This line’s pressurized.”

Obi Wan was skeptical. “Anakin, you still have much to learn. That’ll never hold.” Anakin gave him an ‘are you sure about that?’ look. And the minute that they heard the blast, all that happened was the wall was pushed out some. But it still held. Anakin gave Obi Wan an ‘I told you so’ look and Obi Wan gave him an ‘okay then’ look and gesture. “All right. I still have much to learn. Let’s go.”

They walked down the halls of the ship that had a similar build as the Republic ships. When they neared the elevators, Anakin grabbed his communicator and pressed the button that went to Obi Wan’s communicator that was on R2. “R2, where are they holding the Chancellor?” They heard his beeps of replies but the communicator didn’t translate it to text. “No text?” He hit it against his hand but still only heard R2’s beeps, “It’s broken.” He looked at Obi Wan, deciding to play with him some, “Can you understand him?”

And he assumed that Obi Wan was in the mood to be around some too as he responded, “I’m not a protocol droid.”

He nodded, “I’m pretty sure that beep,” And he somehow imitated a beep, “Is ‘down’.”

Obi Wan tilted his head up, “I sense Count Dooku is above us.”

Anakin held back a laugh as he nodded, “Oh, yes, yes, yes. You’re right. Beep,” And somehow again imitated the beep, “Is ‘up’,” Obi Wan nodded and moved slightly so, just to tease him, Anakin added, “I think.” But once he received the ‘really’ look from Obi Wan he just nodded. “Anyway, I agree. Up it is.”

And as soon as their backs were turned, Destroyers appeared. He turned around to see them, telling Obi Wan too. “Destroyers.”

They both pulled out their lightsabers and Obi Wan walked back slightly to press the elevator button. “Never an elevator when you need one.”

Eventually the elevator doors opened and the two walked into the elevator backwards. After it began to go up and they thought they were safe, they both sighed as they heard the Battle Droid behind them. “Drop your weapons.” They gave each other a ‘not these guys again’ look and took out their lightsabers and quickly dealt with them. Anakin didn’t see Obi Wan’s smirk or else he would’ve expected the next word from his old Master’s mouth. “Roger.”

Anakin internally laughed and repeated him, “Roger.” It was funny as the two of them did this all the time before the Clone War and during the beginning of them. But as they both turned to face the elevator doors, they let out small chuckles.

Of course nothing was ever easy with them as they felt a jerk and the elevator stopped. Obi Wan looked at Anakin, who had also turned to look at Obi Wan. “Did you press the button?”

“No, did you?”

“No.”

Anakin smirked, “Well, not to worry Master. We simply take another elevator.” Anakin pressed the button for the elevator doors to reopen. But of course when they did, Battle Droids were waiting for them. Anakin groaned as he said, “Bad idea.” And pressed the button to close the doors again. Once they were, Anakin looked up at the ceiling, “Well, there’s more than one way out of here.”

He assumed Obi Wan didn’t see him or just didn’t want to get upset as he only said, “We don’t want to get out. We want to get out.” He brought the communicator up, “R2, activate elevator 31174.” After a moment when R2 didn’t answer he spoke again, “Come in, R2.” Once again there was nothing “R2, do you copy?” And at this point Obi Wan was getting impatient, “R2, activate the elevator number, 31174.” He sighed, “Activate the elevator 31174. R2 we--” He stopped mid-sentence and fell back slightly as the ceiling of the elevator fell. And as Anakin jumped up, Obi Wan rolled his eyes and sighed, “Always on the move.” He rolled his eyes again and back to the comlink. “R2, switch on the comlink. R2, can you hear me? R2?” After a moment he felt himself jolting down and it took him a few moments to gather his composure as he stood up. But immediately he realized they were going in the wrong direction. “Stop.” He brought the comlink to his lips, “Stop. R2, we need to be going up. R2, do you copy?” After a few more moments of silence, he spoke again, “R2, do you hear me? We need to be going up, not down.” And it seemed as if the droid heard him as he was jolted again and the Elevator quickly went up. He got up just as fast and spoke into the comlink again, “Now, that’s better.” Obi Wan quickly turned around and ignited his lightsaber when he heard a thump from behind him. That was, until he realized that it was just Anakin, “Oh, it’s you.”

“What was that all about?”

For a quick second he thought about making a joke, but decided against it as he could tell Anakin was already in an annoyed mood. “Well, R2 has been-”

“Uh, no loose wire jokes.”

Obi Wan faked offense, “Did I say anything?”

“He’s trying.”

“I didn’t say anything!”

Once their banter ended, the doors opened and they walked out into a conference-like room. Chancellor Palpatine was up front, cuffed to the seat he was in. They walked down the steps and to him.

Obi Wan was cordial and bent down slightly, “Chancellor.”

Anakin didn’t do the same and so he stayed standing straight. “Are you alright?”

“Count Dooku.” Both turned around as in fact saw Dooku and two B2 droids walking in.

Obi Wan, still upset over Anakin ignoring him back on Geonosis and effectively getting his arm cut off, only said one thing to Anakin. “This time we will do it together.”

Anakin, who really didn’t want to lose his other arm, walked around Obi Wan and agreed. “I was about to say that.”

Anakin held back a smirk as Dooku flipped down to them and grabbed his lightsaber. That was one of the exact things that Obi Wan would typically laugh and call ‘flashy’. “Get help. You’re no match for him. He’s a Sith lord.”

Now was when Anakin smirked and Obi Wan turned to Palpatine and gave him an amused smile, “Chancellor Palpatine, Sith lords are our speciality.”

Both shrugged off their cloaks (and Anakin wouldn’t admit it but he only did it because Obi Wan did) and grabbed their lightsabers. “Your swords, please.” Dooku walked closer to them. “We don’t want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.”

Anakin and Obi Wan, with Obi Wan leading, walked over to Dooku, “You won’t get away this time, Dooku.” Anakin held back a laugh at Obi Wan’s statement. Every time they went against Dooku, or knew they were going to, he said it.

Obi Wan ignited his lightsaber and Anakin was quick to follow. They waited till Dooku did the same to start attacking him. It was two against one. One would think it would be easy. But no. It wasn’t. Nothing ever was with Dooku.

“I’ve been looking forward to this.”

Anakin held back a smirk. “MY powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.”

“Good.” Dooku gave a sinister smile, “Twice the pride, double the fall.”

They both back to attack him again. And when Dooku pushed Obi Wan away, Anakin got pissed. Only he was able to randomly push Obi Wan away with the Force in a fight. Anakin continued to fight him alone, until Obi Wan came up from behind and went to attack Dooku. This time Anakin got pushed back and Obi Wan was lifted into the air, feeling as if he was being choked. Just before he was flung to the other side. His back collided with a rail and he fell to the ground. Unconscious. Just as Anakin had thought before, only he could randomly do things like that to Obi Wan. But then he was very angry when he saw Dooku pull the platform down, causing it to land on Obi Wan. But he also noticed that Dooku allowed himself to be distracted, so Anakin went and kicked him off the side of the railing they were at. He was quick to jump down with him and continue the fight

At one point, Anakin was using his strength in order to keep Dooku’s saber from colliding into him. “I sense great fear in you, Skywalker.” Anakin gave Dooku an angry look. What did he know about Anakin’s feelings? And what did Anakin have to fear for? Nothing. He didn’t fear anything at this point. “You have hate. You have anger. But you don’t use them.”

Anakin was having enough, careful was he, as he allowed his tiny bit of anger fuel him. He wanted this fight over. And soon. He fiercely wanted to make sure Obi Wan was safe. And he wanted to go back home to Y/N. He pushed Dooku back and began to attack him. He was more aggressive with his blows this time. He was quick as he got Dooku practically tied up, and as a sort of payback for cutting off his right arm, Anakin chopped off both of Dooku’s hands. He wouldn’t deny, Dooku’s reaction was kind of priceless. Anakin was quick to grab Dooku's saber as it flew in the air. Dooku fell to his knees and Anakin created an ‘x’ in front of Dooku’s head.

“Good, Anakin. Good.” He heard Palpatine say, almost amused and delighted. He glanced over to the Chancellor and then back to Dooku. “Kill him.” He saw as Dooku looked over to Palpatine in horror. And Anakin hated to admit it, but he understood why Dooku had the look he did. He understood it. “Kill him now.”

Dooku looked at Anakin. And for the first time, Anakin saw fear in his eyes. But Anakin was conflicted. Break the code and kill Dooku or stay true to the code and ignore the Chancellor by just arresting him. He knew that Dooki would go willingly this time. “I shouldn’t.”

“Do it.”

And he saw Dooku's face. It was one that you would make if you recognized something. But Anakin chose to ignore it. He chose to ignore his inner feelings and was quick as he used the two sabers and cut off Dooku’s head. He knew it would come to haunt him eventually, but he chose to leave it for a problem for future him.

“You did well, Anakin.” He slowly turned to Palpatine. “He was too dangerous to be kept alive.”

He walked over to the Chancellor and used the Force to unlock the cuffs. “Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner. I shouldn’t have done that. It’s not the Jedi way.”

Plaptine stood, “It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge.” Yes. He did. But revenge was not the Jedi way either. “It wasn’t the first time, Anakin.” He looked at him confused, “Remember what you told me about your mother and the Sand People?” Tusken Raiders, he mentally corrected him. But Anakin also heard their screams of agony in his head when the Chancellor mentioned them. “Now we must leave before more security droids arrive.” But instead of completely following Palpatine, Anakin quickly ran over to Obi Wan and began to get him out from under the platform. “Anakin, there's no time. We must get off this ship before it’s too late.”

Anakin flipped Obi Wan and did a quick check. He was alright, overall. He looked up at the Chancellor, “He seems to be all right.”

“Leave him, or we’ll never make it.”

Anakin ignored Palpatine. He'd rather not make it than leave Obi Wan to die alone. Especially when there was a chance he could save him. And he knew Obi Wan would do the same. “His fate will be the same as ours.” He lifted Obi Wan into his arms and carried him on his shoulders. They made it to the elevators and no matter what button they pressed, how hard, or how many times they did. Nothing happened. “R2,” He lifted the comlink to his mouth, “Activate elevator 3224.”

They jolted forward and grabbed onto the, now opened, elevator door. Anakin knew that the elevator wouldn’t be there and that they would have to run down the shaft. He just hoped that the ship wouldn’t go upright as they were doing this. Because that would be a catastrophe. As they were running, he felt himself begin to slip and tried not to make any noise as he felt the ship leveling out. As they slid down, he felt the Chancellor grab onto his leg. He was secretly happy it happened as then he was able to grab onto a wire and not worry about him.

Of course this had to be when Obi Wan awoke. And as he did, he gripped onto Anakin. Tightly. Slightly annoyed with his friend, Anakin spoke, “Easy. we’re in a bit of a situation here.”

“Did I miss something?”

Anakin resisted rolling his eyes. Always the clever one, Obi Wan was. “Just hold on.”

“What is that?”

Anakin looked up in fear as he heard the elevator coming down. He was quick to grab the comlink and talk to R2. “R2. R2, shut down the elevator.”

He knew it was too late. As did Obi Wan. “Too late. Jump!” He let go of the wire as Obi Wan let go of him. They both grabbed their graphing hooks and tossed them to hook onto a beam, the moment they did, they used the momentum and swung into the open elevator door. They all groaned as they got up from the ground. “Let’s see if we can find something in the hangar bay that’s still flyable.”

They all stood and Anakin brought the comlink back up, “R2, get down here.” When his droid didn’t answer, he sighed, “R2, do you copy?” Obi Wan gave Anakin a ‘see what I mean’ look when R2 didn’t respond. This time Anakin did roll his eyes and they began to walk down the hall. Of course the moment they did, shields were activated. Locking them there. “Ray shields.”

Obi Wan looked around, “What a minute. How did this happen? We’re smarter than this.”

Anakin agreed. Typically they wouldn’t allow themselves to do this. Not see where ray shields could come out. Or not even think about ray shields at all. But Anakin, still in a sour mood, replied, “Apparently not.” And for what seemed like the first time in his life, he suggested something that Obi Wan thought was crazy when he usually agreed with it. “I say patience.”

Obi Wan held back a laugh, “Patience?” He crossed his arms, basically telling Anakin to explain why he said that.

“Yes. R2 will be along in a few moments and then...he’ll release the ray shields.”

Obi Wan and Anakin both knew that he made it up on the spot. But before Obi Wan could argue, they heard the door open. And surprisingly, Anakin’s dramatically chaotic droid came screaming in. Anakin tried not to groan when R2 slammed into the wall. He knew that he was going to get an earful from the droid himself about this moment.

He turned to Obi Wan, “See? No problem.” And of course when he said that, a bunch of droids came out and Anakin tried not to say anything when one kicked R2.

Obi Wan looked at him, sort of amused but mostly annoyed, “Do you have a plan “B”?”

No. No he did not.

So now here they were walking into the control panel, face to face with Grievous again. “Ah, yes. The negotiator.” Anakin smirked as they walked past. “General Kenobi. We’ve been waiting for you.” A droid pushed past Obi Wan, “That wasn’t much of a rescue. And-” He stopped mid-sentence to cough and Anakin continued to hold back an amused face. Seriously. He had imagined this guy to be so much larger than he actually was. Snips said he was like 10 feet or something. He mentally laughed. Maybe it was because she was so short. “Anakin Skywalker. I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little...older.”

Okay. That did it. Anakin was annoyed by that. Everyone thought he would be older. No. He was 22...wait maybe 23 now...he really didn’t know what day it was, but anyways, he was 22 or 23 years old! Someone his age could do everything he has! You don’t have to be older for it. He gave a disgusted look for a moment as Grievous wheezed right in his face. But his amused and annoyed look came back almost immediately. “General Grievous.” He smirked, “You’re shorter than I expected.”

“Jedi scum.”

Obi Wan looked at him, knowing exactly why he said it. And exactly what he meant by it. “We have a job to do, Anakin. Try not to upset him.”

Anakin just shrugged and ignored Obi Wan’s comment. Mostly listening to R2’s beeping. Grievous held their sabers in his hands, “Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection.”

“Not this time.” Anakin raised an eyebrow at Obi Wan’s comment, “And this time, you won’t escape.” And Obi Wan just jinxed it. Anakin just knew it. Grievous was going to escape. Again.

But, he also knew what Obi Wan was doing, so he signaled his droid. “R2.” His droid looked as if he was self-destructing, but Obi Wan and Anakin knew better. Obi Wan turned and called for his saber and he cut his cuffs off and did the same to Anakin’s. Once free, Anakin pulled his saber to him and ignited it as well.

He and Obi Wan attacked their droids around them. Of course since he was closest to the Chancellor, he made sure he was safe before heading back in to deal with Grievous. And of course, just as Anakin had suspected, Obi Wan jinxed them and Grievous got away by busting the window open.

They killed more droids as they and those from the Trade Federation ran out. Stopping once they heard a loud beeping. “All the escape pods have been launched.” Both knew it was Grievous’s work and that he had escaped. Again.

“Grievous.” Obi Wan and Anakin turned their attention to the large control panels. “Can you fly a cruiser like this?”

He let out an exasperated breath and he sat in the pilot's chair, “You mean, do I know how to land what’s left of this thing?”

Obi Wan sat down next to him, “Well?”

He began to press the buttons that he knew had to be adjusted, “Well, under the circumstances, I’d say the ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant.” Considering it was literally falling apart and crashing into Coursacant’s atmosphere.” He looked at Obi Wan, “Strap yourselves in.” He looked around and saw what all was lit up and said to be damaged. They were lucky that it only took him a few moments to understand how to fly something. “Open all hatches. Extend all flaps and drag fins.” He watched carefully as Obi Wan did as he asked. He tried to ignore the pain in his ribs as they slammed forward. He knew that something bad had happened. He ignored R2’s beep that sounded a lot like ‘uh-oh’ and turned to Obi Wan, “We lost something.”

Obi Wan looked and saw exactly what the problem was. He turned back to Anakin, “Not to worry. We are still flying half a ship.” Both of them hoped that the back half would burn up and not cause any damage to the planet below.

Apparently the back half was helping them stay slowish, but now that it was gone? That was a whole ‘nother thing. “Now we’re really picking up speed.”

“Eight plus 60. We’re in the atmosphere.”

Anakin gave a quick nod and pointed to a lever, “Grab that. Keep us level.”

He was trying to keep this to be as much of a control crash as he could. The less damage he caused, the better. Of course his droid constantly beeping in annoyance was causing him to be a little freaked and lose his focus. “Easy, R2.”

“5000. Fire ships on the left and the right.”

“We’ll take you in.”

“Copy that.” More beeping happened that they chose to ignore and Obi Wan pointed ahead, “Landing strip, straight ahead.”

Anakin shook his head, “We’re coming in too hot.” Literally. It wasn’t a joke like usual. He did as much as he could to help control the landing and break as little as possible. And when they hit the watchtower, he just hoped that nobody was in it. Once they had stopped, Anakin let out a sigh of relief.

Obi Wan pushed his hair back and looked between Anakin and the Chancellor, “Another happy ending.” Anakin rolled his eyes at Obi Wan’s comment and got ready to leave the ship.

When Y/N got the news that the Chancellor had been saved and that the Jedi had returned thanks to Padmé, she followed the Senator to where they were going to meet the Chancellor. She stood behind a pillar, hidden from view, as she waited. She heard Anakin talking with Padmé and Bail as they walked through the hall. She bit her lip lightly as she noticed Anakin glancing over at her. She hadn’t really thought this through. How she was going to tell him. But then, she was also happy. Happy that Anakin was safe and alive and in her eyesight.

He and the two Senators’ stopped and she heard Anakin excuse himself. Padmé glanced at her with a knowing look and Y/N returned her look with a ‘shut the hell up’ look.

But as Anakin came jogging over to her, her smile returned. As soon as they were arms length of each other, he grabbed her and pulled her in. Once he knew she was secure in his arms, he lifted her up and spun her around. Once he sat her down, she immediately pulled his face to kiss him. When they pulled away she pulled him into a hug, “Oh, Anakin.”

He sighed and melted into her embrace, “I’ve missed you, Y/N.”

She pulled away slightly, “There were whispers that you’d been killed.”

He smiled softly, he moved a hand and held the back of her head. “I’m all right.” He sat his forehead on hers. “It feels like we’ve been apart for a lifetime.” And while it was probably one of the more annoying and taxing missions he’s had to do the past few months, he wouldn’t deny it. The Chancellor getting taken was a blessing in disguise, “And it might have been, if the Chancellor hadn’t been kidnapped, I don’t think they would have ever brought us back from the Outer Rim sieges.”

He leaned in to kiss her again, but this time more passionately. She stopped him, “Wait. Please, not here.”

He tried his best to hide his hurt as he responded, “Yes here. I-I’m tired of all this deception. I don’t care if they know we’re married.”

“Anakin, I’m not sure you mean that.”

That wasn’t what she meant to say, but somehow, somehow he knew what she meant in some way. So he gave her a soft nod and pulled her into a soft hug. But he pulled away quicker than he had anticipated as he felt the fear in her body. He kept his hands on her arms as he ran his hands up and down them softly. “Are you alright? You’re practically trembling. What’s going on?”

She gulped slightly, “Ani, I found out some...crazy and exciting news not long after you left.”

He tilted his head to the side, “What is it?”

She let out a shaky breath, “Ani...I’m pregnant.”

He looked at her in amazement. The smile breaking out onto his face caused her nerves to wash away. He looked down as he spoke, as if he had noticed her bump that was hidden under the layers of clothes she had on to hide it. “That’s--” He stopped mid-sentence, causing her nerves to rise again. Even when she knew it was because he was searching for the right words to say. “Well, that’s won-that’s wonderful.”

“I want you to know that I wanted to tell you the moment I found out, but I was scared to make you be distracted.” She stopped and looked him in the eyes, asking a question that had plagued her thoughts since she had learned of her pregnancy, “Ani, what are we going to do?”

His smile grew and he shook his head softly, “We’re not gonna worry about anything right now. All right?” She nodded, “This is a happy moment. The happiest of my life I would even say.” She smiled and closed the gap that was continuously getting smaller between them with her lips.

But even that had to end. He eventually pulled away and said, “I need to get back to the Senator’s and deal with the Politics that Obi Wan is avoiding.”

She laughed lightly, “I’ll head back to our place. Will I see you there tonight? Or must you sleep in the Temple and I just watch the Temple from afar?”

He laughed softly, “I will be able to stay with you. You know I always am able to sneak out of the Temple.”

She nodded and kissed his nose, “Go be the hero Jedi that I know you are, Ani.”

He kissed her temple, “I love you more than anything. I hope that you know that.”

She nodded as he began to walk away. Of course she knew. How wouldn’t she? And she knew that he would do anything for her. Neither of them knew just how far he would end up going in order for her to be safe.

The sun had already almost set by the time Anakin got home. She smiled as she felt his arms wrap around her. She turned to them and smiled at him, “Hey.”

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, “Hey.”

“It was so much fun knowing you were here on Coruscant but not here with me.”

He laughed lightly, “I’m sorry my love.”

“It’s alright.” She sighed, “I heard about Ahsoka.”

He was surprised, “How?”

“Padmé found out. Now don’t ask me how she did. I stopped questioning how she found things out a long time ago.” She moved some of his hair away from his face, “When were you going to tell me?” He thought for a second. He actually hadn’t thought about when he was going to tell her. And as if she could read his mind, she let out a surprised gasp, “You hadn’t even thought of that! Let me guess, you were going to tell me after she left again?”

“No, I would never do that. I would’ve told you once I knew she was on her way back to Coruscant.”

“Why is she going after Maul? She doesn’t even have her lightsabers. Ani.”

He smirked, “So, I may have taken them, repaired them, and had them with me at all times in case I ran into her so she could have them back.”

She let out an amused laugh, “Really?”

He shrugged, “I was always being optimistic with her maybe coming back.”

She smiled sadly, “Do you really think that will happen?”

“I...I hope it will. Or at least she’ll stay on Coruscant. Or stay in touch. I don’t want to lose her again.”

Y/N kissed his lips softly, “I know. It killed me to see you after she left. It was like a part of you died.”

“She’s my sister practically. Just as Obi Wan is practically my brother. I could never lose either of them. Losing them is losing a part of me.”

She gave him another sad smile, “Well, I know you’ll never lose Obi Wan. No matter what stupid thing you do. No matter how much you betray him. He’ll always forgive you. As you will him.”

“Why’re we like this?”

“Like what?”

“Talking sadly. We should be happy.”

“We should?”

He nodded, “After 6 months we’re finally together again and we’re going to be parents.”

Her smile changed to a happy one, “We should be happy, shouldn’t we?”

The sun had gone down and if it wasn’t for the bright lights of Coruscant, it would probably be pitch black. Anakin was leaning against a wall as he stared at Y/N brushing her hair on the balcony. “Ani, what if we had our baby on Naboo? We have so many fond memories there. Padmé has said that the lake country is reclusive and no one could know. We could be safe there.” She turned to him, “She said that she’s heading back soon and that I could go with her. She has a place where we could stay and I could fix up the baby’s room.”

He gave her a soft smile, “Padmé surely knows everything, doesn’t she?”

“She’s helped us so much before. I am very grateful for her.”

He nodded, “So am I.” They were quiet for a moment until he spoke again, “You are so...beautiful.”

She smiled softly and turned to him, “Am I?”

He walked over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders, “Of course you are. Why else would I love you?”

She gave him a soft laugh, “So you’re only in love with me for my looks?”

He laughed lightly, “No, that’s not what I meant.”

She looked at him with fond eyes, “I know.”

“Come on, let’s go to bed.”

“As long as you change out of your Jedi attire.”

He let out a soft, genuine laugh, “Alright, alright. I will.”

“Then yes, let’s go to bed.”

There was a baby crying and Y/N was yelling out for help. “Anakin, help me!” Tears were streaming down her face as she screamed.

Anakin shot up, panting. He felt his hair sticking to his forehead and neck with sweat. He looked over at Y/N, who was still sleeping soundly. He let out a shaky breath as he sat on the side of the bed and laid his head in his hands. After a second, he lifted his head up. Grabbing his shirt he got off of the bed and walked out of the room.

And as if she felt his presence fully gone. Y/N groggily sat up and looked around. Her eyes fell on him as she saw him walk out of the room and down the hall. She got out of bed and went to follow him. She found him in the sitting area, just staring off to nothing. She walked over to him and played with the ends of his hair, “What’s bothering you?”

He looked at her and sighed, “Nothing.” He noticed the necklace around her neck and looked at it. It was the one he made her not long after their first meeting. “I remember when I gave this to you.”

They both knew that he was changing the subject. And she didn't want him to do it this time. She knew that he did need to talk about what was wrong. Her hand fell to her side and she let out a sigh this time. “Are we just going to go around in circles with me knowing something is bothering you, you saying it’s nothing, change the subject, and me knowing you’re lying and not wanting to give up until you tell me?” He said nothing, “Ani, please.” Her voice was soft, “You promised me that you would talk about how you felt more.”

He let out another sigh and looked away from her, “It was another dream.”

“Nightmare?”

He nodded, “Just like they were with my mother, right before she died.”

She grew both more curious and concerned, “And? What was it about?”

He looked at her, “And it was about you.”

He moved some of his hair, “Do you want to tell me what else?”

He looked away, “It was only a dream.” He got up and walked a few feet away from her before turning back around. Knowing he would need to tell her eventually. “You...you die in childbirth.”

“Oh.” Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, “And…”

She trailed off but he knew what she was meaning, “I have no idea about the baby. Just...just you.”

She walked towards him, “It was just a dream. This one. I promise you.”

His hands laid on her arms, “I won’t allow this one to become real Y/N. I can’t...I can’t lose you.”

She leaned up and kissed him softly, “I know you won’t.” She let out a soft sigh, “This...this baby...it will change our lives. Maybe for good and maybe for bad. I doubt anyone will let me take any more bounty’s. And if the council learns of you being the father...you’ll be expelled.”

“I know. But that is a risk I have always been willingly to take for you.”

She bit her lip, “What if...what if we told Obi Wan? You mentioned earlier, he’s your brother in all but blood. Maybe he would help us.”

He shook his head, “No. We don’t need his help.” She nodded and let him pull her into his hold.
