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.

Good day! Again reading the lovely loot which is your writing, and finding YourWords on hiatus. Would there by chance be any development with this story? Is Obi Wan healing slowly? On Coruscant? Refusing to look at the ‘Imperial Palace’? Dealing with the inevitable entourage of Vader? And how would the entourage look at this *&^&$ «hisss»JEDI»hisss» ?? Might Vader need to do some housecleaning? Please? Tell?

“You need to be careful Obi-Wan.” Vader still held onto both of
his hands as Obi-Wan slowly took step by step, halting and stuttering
even with the support of the Sith. “I don’t…I’d rather not
see you injured again. I know you’re in much pain right now and
added bruises will not help you.” He murmured quietly.

Obi-Wan took a deep breath and smiled at him. “I’m trying Ani,
its just…well I don’t want to put claim to more to your time then
you have to spare for me and I feel… I feel like a burden to you
right now.” He looked down at his feet then back up. “I know I
have the cane, the pain levels will eventually settle and the
painkillers help. I don’t like the side effect but I’ll endure.”

Quirking an amused smile, Vader squeezed the others hands with care.
“Side effects?” He teased.

Quirking a wry smile back, Obi-Wan squeezed in return. “I know you
were there when I asked for laxatives, don’t be stupid with me.”
He huffed.

Laughing a bit, Vader nodded and pulled the cane to his hand before
offering it to Obi-Wan. “I know, common side effect of prolonged
painkillers. That and mouth dryness.” He chuckled, reaching up and
stroking the others bearded cheek.

Chuckling too, Obi-Wan leaned into the touch.

And then his smile faded and he looked away, eyes flickering down.

Blinking, Vader was about to question the other when he caught sight
of the open drapes, the Imperial castle looming in the distance.

Staring at it, Vader carefully pulled the drape over the window once
again with a wave of his hand. “…Apologies, I think some of the
servants were airing out the stuffiness.” He murmured.

“…Its alright.” Obi-Wan whispered, allowing the Sith to pull
him into a one armed hug while leaning on his cane.

“No its not.” Vader rubbed his back then sighed and tipped
Obi-Wan’s head up by holding onto his chin.

“There’s a lot of things that aren’t alright.” Obi-Wan agreed
quietly, reaching up to stroke a few of Vader’s burn scars on his
cheek and up his forehead. “And a lot of manipulations that
happened… I know you took your decisions and… quite a few of them
make me upset.” He sighed. “But there are some things I was
complicit in it as was the Jedi Order and especially the Council.”

Shifting a bit, Vader nodded and sighed. “I know…”

He shifted a bit more then nodded to himself. “Lets go eat?” The yellow eyed
man offered, gesturing with one hand.

Obi-Wan chuckled quietly and nodded, leaning on his cane as he
followed the other.

They walked in silence for a few moments before Obi-Wan spoke again.
“Anakin… I need you to promise something for me.” He murmured.

“Yes?” Vader glanced at him as he opened the door, catching green
serious eyes.

“I need you to never forget where you came from. Not the Jedi
part…what came before.” The Jedi stared at him. “The good parts
that your mother gave you, she raised a kind boy…” He reached up
and cupped the others scarred cheek, smiling. “I like that boy…”

Vader stared at him before closing his eyes and leaning into the hand
on his cheek. “…I’ll try.” He whispered quietly.

Settling his hand back on his cane, Obi-Wan stepped through the
doorway with a content smile after getting that promise.

Vader took a deep breath and let it out through his nose before
looking down at his feet. “…I’ll try.” He whispered.

Good day! Again reading the lovely loot which is your writing, and finding YourWords on hiatus. Would there by chance be any development with this story? Is Obi Wan healing slowly? On Coruscant?

doorway with a content smile after getting that promise.

Vader took a deep breath and let it out through his nose before
looking down at his feet. “…I’ll try.” He whispered.

O.M.G. I just did the calculations, QuiGon is 38 b.92BBY, Palps is then 28 b.82BBY, so the Sith ObiWan detected would be Hego Damask(!) b.147-120BBY and his apprentice, Sheeve Palpatine. And ObiWan has NO KNOWLEDGE OF DARTH PALAGUEIS, who is between 66 and 93 years old… that is a LOT of Sith knowledge. Uh oh. This might open up a whole new world of hurt for Obi and the Jedi Temple. Care to indulge my paranoia? ;-)

Staring in surprise, Obi-Wan slowly lifted his head from the items in
his hands to a blushing Qui-Gon, who was currently hiding his face in
his hands.

Lips twitching, Obi-Wan stood slowly from the garden bench.
“…Qui-Gon… did Tahl put you up to this?” He questioned
carefully.

“…Micah.” The taller man confessed, visibly flustered as he
peeked through his fingers at the grinning redhead in front of him
holding two kissing teddy bears, quite pointedly dressed in Jedi
robes with tiny bows around their neck, blue and green respectively.

Then he smiled when Obi-Wan squeezed the bears to his chest, the
other laughing in delight as he did. “I adore them Qui-Gon,
they’re… cute.” Obi-Wan chuckled as he squeezed the soft toys
to his chest with another happy laugh.

“Really? Oh thank the Force, I was worried they’d seem…
stupid.” Qui-Gon confessed, moving closer to Obi-Wan while dropping
his hands to his sides as he peered down at the other. “Or
childish…”

Humming, Obi-Wan tilted his head back to peer up at him. “Its not
childish to want a hug of something soft and warm.” He beamed at
him.

Unable to resist, Qui-Gon reached up and cupped the others cheek with
a soft chuckle, sliding close enough for him to feel the heat of the
others body. “I see… well then… I know you’re still temple
locked for your own safety but I was thinking… well I’m not much
of a cook.” He confessed, snorting when Obi-Wan quirked knowing
eyebrows while leaning into the hand on his bearded cheek. “I was
thinking you could come by my quarters for a dinner date. Us two,
some takeout I plate up, music…” He let his words trail off.

Obi-Wan smiled softer at that and nuzzled the hand, beard tickling at
the others warm palm. “I like that idea… wine?” He raised his
brows.

“Of course, a nice vintage.” Qui-Gon leaned in slowly, smiling as
he gave the other a chaste kiss on the lips.

Obi-Wan melted against him, a soft sigh escaping the others lips as
he clung to the bears in his arms.

Smirking to himself, Hego Damask gave a low chuckle as his apprentice
relayed the information he had managed to secure by being discreet
around both the Senate and those close to Jedi in the temple.

A time traveler.

Someone outside the time stream.

Their midi-chlorian would be unique to this galaxy, perhaps even the
key to unlocking the secret behind eternal life if Hego’s
suspicions were proven correct.

Standing slowly, the muun made his way to the window to stare at the
Jedi temple looming in the distance. In that building, behind guards
and light Force wielders, the secret to his desire may be hiding.

But Hego could be patient.

He had been hasty before and acted rashly which had caused the Jedi
to hide their secret guest even more firmly under lock and key.

No more, Darth Plagueis could lay in ambush and wait for the Jedi to
lower their guards as they always did in the end.

It was only a question of time.

Oh my gods! Just had a thought and LAUGHED!! So Servalo Obi Wan and his instinctual grooming, especially under stress? The mental image of the clones panicking, Anakin blinking, and Obi Wan «he’s CHOKING!!», being rushed off to medical, diagnosis a hairball. Please? The embarrassment !!

Looking up at the cough, Anakin blinked around the room before
glancing down at his master, raising his brow slightly when the cough
he had heard moments before repeated. “Master?” He questioned the
agitated feline.

Grumbling a bit, Obi-Wan took a sip of his tea and glanced up at his
former student. “Yes Anakin?” His tail was flickering faster in
agitation.

“Are you alright?” The human questioned, crossing his arms slowly
over his chest as the other did another cough and then a gag, the
servalo quickly settling the cup aside on the flimsy table with their
maps.

“I am quite fine.” Obi-Wan huffed then gagged again.

By now Commander Cody had dragged himself away from his conversation
with Gus and was staring at his General with a small frown on his
face. “General…?”

Grumbling, Obi-Wan shifted and settled himself on his hunches on his
chair, murring loudly in agitation. “I am quite fine.” He
snapped, actually snapped.

Anakin felt his brows go high and Cody blinked in surprise before he
looked at the blond in question.

“Master you’re behaving oddly.” Anakin settled on, uncrossing
his arms and making a low chirruping noise to sooth the other. “Are
you sure you’re alright?” He settled down on one knee by the
chair as Cody came around the other end of the table and chair to
peer down at his General, his scar bunching up at his frown and
pursed lips.

By now they had attracted most of the other troopers attention even
if they were still behaving professionally and doing their work.

Kix looked like his hands were itching to check over the General
though, despite having no medical knowledge of servalos.

That was Helix area of expertise for obvious reasons, just like
General Koon’s medic was an expert in kel dor’s and General Ti’s
in togruta’s.

“I am quite fi-” And with that Obi-Wan set into a series of gags
and coughs, wheezing air through his air pipes hard.

Sitting back on his heels in surprise, Anakin watched as Obi-Wan’s
bushy tail fluffed up as he hacked and gargled, shooting his back up
as he stood on all fours on the chair.

Alarmed, Cody quickly grabbed the feline and rushed of to the medical
tent with the spluttering Jedi. “Helix!” He called even as he
felt Anakin follow after on quick steps as he pushed the flap aside
with one hand.

The medic looked up in surprise, then turned alarmed too when he
caught sight of Obi-Wan loud gagging in the commander’s arms.
“Here.” He pushed a bunch of tools out of the way off one of the
tables so Cody could place Obi-Wan down.

The moment his paws hit the cold table, Obi-Wan gave one last great
heave and spat out a wet clump of…something dark orange onto the
table, wheezing a bit but quickly calming down. “I-I’m fine.”
He got out, coughing slightly but not as badly as moments before.

Cody stared at his general before breathing out in relief even as
Helix insisted on inspecting the felines throat, using a light to
shine down it to check for damages.

Anakin slid up beside them and peered at the lump that had come from
the others throat, his eyebrows rising before a grin crossed his
face. “Obi-Wan…you coughed up a hairball!” He snorted. “Now
that’s been years since I last saw.” He chuckled, visibly relaxed
now that he knew what was going on.

Cody blinked, looking from the lump of identified hair, to the blond
and then to the feline who grumbled.

And then Anakin’s grin faded. “Have you been stress grooming
yourself again?” He reached out and picked up his master,
scratching his ears gently.

“Anakin!” The feline growled before purring in pleasure, curling
into the others arm and settling into them. “…Only a bit.”

Glancing down at the wet ball Helix was picking up with a set of
tweezers to dispose of, Anakin snorted. “You groomed yourself into
a hairball.”

Listening to the two Jedi argue quietly, Cody felt his shoulders
relax. ‘Its just a hairball… stars.’ He thought as he exchanged
both relieved and exasperated looks with Helix.

Oh my gods! Just had a thought and LAUGHED!! So Servalo Obi Wan and his instinctual grooming, especially under stress? The mental image of the clones panicking, Anakin blinking, and Obi Wan «he’s CHOKING!!», being rushed off to medical, diagnosis a hairball. Please? The embarrassment !!

Lense eye! Obi is awake! HUZZAH!! So now what? Recovery, physiotherapy to rebuild muscles, some fluff? Maybe a ‘proof he’s fully recovered’ bit of nsfw obianadala? (hint, hint) May we have a happy ever after epilogue? Maybe a final interview with Cana to tie off the Jedi Documentary? Thank you so much! This has been a lovely ride!!

Rubbing his hand through Kenobi’s hair, Skywalker smiled wryly at
Cana. “I apologize for this. Most of Obi-Wan’s time goes into
therapy and recovery if we’re being honest so he still rests a lot
when he can. The time he doesn’t do therapy or play with the kids
are used for naps.” He confessed.

Lifting her hands, Cana shook her head with a warm smile. “Please,
don’t apologize. We understand that Master Kenobi saved many lives
during the attack Palpatine unlawfully initiated on the temple,
people are fond of both Jedi and clones and are grateful that he did.
Now we only wish to know that he will recover since he managed to
wake.” She peered at the bundle in Skywalker’s mech arm. “And
to know about your new treasures.” She confessed.

Skywalker laughed faintly, shifting a bit to glance between his husbands
head on his lap and the baby in his arm. “Treasures are a good word for
them I guess.” He offered with warmth, giving his chubby little one
a gentle nuzzle. “They’re names are Leia and Luke Amidala and this is Leia but
that’s all I’m going to say.” Anakin grinned wryly.

Cana nodded, understanding that for such prominent parents, they
wanted to give their kids privacy.

So she changed subjects. “Will you be retaking the mantle as Jedi
again or is it now the parental role you are staying in?” She
questioned.

Skywalker grinned at that. “I’m going to be happy as a stay at home
dad. Padme is still fighting for the rights of the galaxy and I’m
happy to give her the time and space to do that while I look after
the kids in the meantime but that doesn’t mean she’s not here.”
He looked up as the door to the fresher opened and the Senator
stepped in with the second twin.

“I’m sorry about that, Luke really needed a diaper change.” The
Senator offered tiredly, smiling at them as she rejoined them on the
couch. There was a little milky splosh the collar of her deep green
dress that she didn’t seem to have noticed but Luke seemed quite
happy to squirm in his blanket, looking around with big blue eyes.

Cana gestured for her camera crew to get a good shot of that.
“Please, don’t apologize Senator, family comes first.”

Amidala smiled at that before reaching out and gently stroking her
free fingers into the copper hair of her second husband. “Yes…yes
they do.”

Kenobi opted to open his eyes too at that moment, yawning before
focusing on the lady senator with half lidded eyes.

Drowsy and content, he was a far cry from the exhausted General they
had seen on the first episode as he slowly reached up to brush his
fingertips over Amidala’s cheek in return with a smile on his gaunt
face as Amidala continued slowly scratching her fingers against his
scalp.

It was a beautiful thing if Cana was honest

“So that is it then?” Cana questioned the circle of Jedi
master’s. “The Jedi withdraw back to their temple? War’s over
and done?” She smiled.

“Temporarily at least.” Mace offered, sitting up slowly while
waving his mech hand carefully. “We’ve lost some promient
members, we’re all sore and tired and while we will still do our
duty we…” He looked around the room before looking back. “We
need a break.”

Shaak spoke up, her hologram flickering a bit from where she was
stationed on Kamino still. “We will still do our duty, we will help
the clones settle into a life as they choose it and do recovery and
we shall start recovery and relief efforts but…as master Windu
says, we need a break. So many of us are injured or dead.” She
sighed.

Yoda tapped his cane on his chair, the camera focusing on him. “Much
torment the Order and the Galaxy has gone through, perhaps the Senate
help us all now will. Warriors we were never designed to be though
fight we can.” He offered, croaking a bit before his ears fell.
“Agree with the young I do, much death and injury we have
experienced in short time. Many bonded masters and padawans broken
apart have been. Tired we are… reforms we need to consider.” He
looked around the room.

“Reforms?” Cana questioned in surprise.

She hadn’t gotten the feeling that the Order changed lightly but…
three years of war could not be considered lightly at all.

“Internal this will be.” Yoda smiled to her. “To worry the rest
of the galaxy need not, Jedi we will still be, conduct ourselves
properly we will… but perhaps…” He seemed to hesitate.

The rest of the council seemed to hold their breath.

“Perhaps… unselfish love…not such a bad thing will be.” Yoda
finished.

Cana stared at him.

There were so many implication in that.

So many things it could mean, but perhaps… eventually… Knight
Skywalker and Master Kenobi would one day again walk these halls.

“…Thank you master Jedi, for allowing us into your home and your
lives.” She whispered.

As one, all the master’s stood and bowed to her.

“Welcome, the galaxy will always be.” Depa offered with quiet
warmth.

“We are Jedi, and now the galaxy knows who we are. It is us who
should thank you.” Plo continued.

“From the depth of our hearts, thank you Mistress Cana.” Kit
finished and Cana could feel the blood rush to her face as her wings
fluttered hard as the rest of the masters echoed his statement.

Stars light, what people the Jedi were.

Lense eye! Obi is awake! HUZZAH!! So now what? Recovery, physiotherapy to rebuild muscles, some fluff? Maybe a ‘proof he’s fully recovered’ bit of nsfw obianadala? (hint, hint) May we have a happy ever after epilogue? Maybe a final interview with Cana to tie off the Jedi Documentary? Thank you so much! This has been a lovely ride!!

Rubbing his hand through Kenobi’s hair, Skywalker smiled wryly at
Cana. “I apologize for this. Most of Obi-Wan’s time goes into
therapy and recovery if we’re being honest so he still rests a lot
when he can. The time he doesn’t do therapy or play with the kids
are used for naps.” He confessed.

Lifting her hands, Cana shook her head with a warm smile. “Please,
don’t apologize. We understand that Master Kenobi saved many lives
during the attack Palpatine unlawfully initiated on the temple,
people are fond of both Jedi and clones and are grateful that he did.
Now we only wish to know that he will recover since he managed to
wake.” She peered at the bundle in Skywalker’s mech arm. “And
to know about your new treasures.” She confessed.

Skywalker laughed faintly, shifting a bit to glance between his husbands
head on his lap and the baby in his arm. “Treasures are a good word for
them I guess.” He offered with warmth, giving his chubby little one
a gentle nuzzle. “They’re names are Leia and Luke Amidala and this is Leia but
