AH AH AH! BetaToOmega2, Vader is dead, and the heir is underage… so perhaps the Moffs etc think ObiWan will make a nice placeholder (and whoever marries him gets POWER, their own child on the throne, and a pretty omega) thinking ‘easy to influence omega’. Meanwhile the Rebellion agrees with the omega on the throne because they remember ‘this is OBIWAN KENOBI’ with clones who love him. How would this shake out? or is ObiWan about to RUN with the kids and… civil war? Le squee! for effect!
“…Another Emperor dead.” Someone commented dryly. “We seem to
be losing those like flies and now the current heir is too young with
only an omega as Regent in the place of said heir.”
Tarkin rubbed his chin slowly as he mulled over that. “An omega
consort regent, unbonded, widowed…” He mused out loud.
Further down the table, Director Kennic suddenly seemed to catch on
to what was being said, mental wheels visibly turning.
Several others also seemed to be catching on, slower but still.
There was an omega as the Regent in place of an heir that was barely
even two years, regardless which of the twins were going to become
Emperor or Empress. There would of course be a required period of
mourning for the omega but… it was not in an omegas nature to
usually be alone though the kits may be an added factor there.
And unmeet heats were awful.
As the gears of plotting happened below them, Obi-Wan carefully
cuddled the twins to his chest, humming and rocking them as he tried
not to feel awful over what he had done. Padme had claimed there was
good in him… but there had been nothing of Anakin left in the man
he had meet.
Nuzzling Leia and Luke, Obi-Wan smiled wryly. “I guess… you two
might disagree with me huh?” He offered quietly.
Luke just stuck his thumb in his mouth while Leia yawned widely, both
tuckered out from the funeral.
He wondered if they would remember this moment, if they understood
that their father was gone…
“Momma Obi sad?” Leia suddenly blinked up at him.
“A bit little one, its going to be alright though.” He hummed
gently before looking up and smiling wryly when the door opened. “A
bit better now even.” He stood, greeting the trooper in the
doorway. “Hello Rex.”
The unmarked helmet was removed and the blond grinned at him. “How’d
you know?”
“I always know who I’m talking to.” Obi-Wan laughed quietly,
slowly moving to the crib to put the sleepy toddlers to bed. “I
imagine you have news for me.”
“Yup but that can wait.” Rex offered, watching the little ones.
“By the core, they are getting big.” He laughed quietly.
Obi-Wan hummed at that and tucked the blankets around Luke and Leia,
watching them snuggle in together. They reminded him of creche
younglings and quickly he released his sadness to the Force so not to
upset them as he started to singing one of the lullabies from the
past, smiling softly as they slowly fell asleep.
Carefully, another warm body pressed against him. “…So, Alliance
news?” He whispered as he watched the blond and brown head
respectively.
“They are asking if you’re remaining in charge as Regent. They
seemed positively inclined to it honestly from what Mon Mothma and
General Ackbar said.” Rex murmured, settling his head on Obi-Wan’s
chin. “Cody sends his greetings and is asking if its safe to
return.”
“…I need to take care of a few more of Vader’s loyalist but…
yes, I may need his and your help to do that.” He sighed quietly.
Making a low noise, Rex pulled back only to turn the blue clothed
omega and pull him into his arms, holding him tightly. “Ner
jetii…its going to be alright.” He whispered.
“I hope so…” Obi-Wan whispered, curling into Rex armored body.
