so, ‘freeforme’… three Force sensitive babies in one room… what next? Vader decides everybody will be much safer with him, and the argument starts the fussy/screaming team? Will Vader discover that he HAS to keep his temper under control or screaming babies? Will he try and blackmail Obi Wan and/or Padme? Just, WHAT NEXT?? (Lady, you are killing me with the suspense!! THANK YOU!)
“You promised, you swore an oath.” Padme hissed at Vader.
Obi-Wan quietly watched them, snuggling Waxer against his chest as he
tried to absorb the dream he had…though perhaps Obi-Wan had a
vision?
It could have been.
Waxer, Luke and Leia, all with their own sabers and decorated braids,
all smiling, all bright eyed and eager…
It made him smile as he nuzzled slowly at his baby, all calm compared
to Vader and Padme’s angry hissing at each other.
“You’d be safer with me, all of you. You can’t honestly think
bringing the babies back to the Rebellion is a good idea?” Vader
growled.
“The Alliance is a much better place for them then the Empire who
brainwashes and enslaves. Look at poor Obi-Wan, the father of his
child tried to SHOT him.” She snapped right back, waving her hand
at him.
Obi-Wan looked up at them before quietly getting up and cuddling
Waxer against him as he stepped back slowly and steadily, warily
eyeing Luke and Leia, both who had wibbling bottom lips.
“You are safer with me, I can take care of all of you. Obi-Wan got
captured seeking medical aid for his baby, whose to say that will not
happen again and next time it will be the Emperor who will have no
kindness for a former Jedi!” Their voices were getting louder.
“Um, Padme…Vader… please.” Obi-Wan tried reaching out.
“Obi-Wan was in hiding! He’s coming back with me now!” Padme
yelled.
The sounds and the darkness made it all unravel and with a loud,
hiccuping cry, Luke was the first of the wee ones to scream, big fat
tears rolling down his face with Leia following her twin quickly
afterward and prompting Waxer to join in on the crying despite being
comforted by his parent.
As they screamed, several light fixtures above their heads started to
fizzle and flicker and then blow out, glass spraying everywhere even
as Obi-Wan yelped and threw his arm up around himself and Waxer to
protect his boy.
Vader flailed and then quickly picked up Leia, bouncing and cooing at
her as Padme did the same with Luke, all three adults desperately
trying to calm the crying kids down.
A sharp, short wail caused a cabinet to almost fall over if it hadn’t
been for Vader quickly settling his side against it and Padme quickly
sidestepped some glass so not to crunch on it.
Obi-Wan luckily escaped most of it since he had backed away.
Once the kids calmed he breathed out then leveled sever look at both
of them. “For Force sake, you two need to keep calm. They are Force
sensitive babes, powerful at that. Emotions are powerful tools in
their possession so please lets not upset them more then necessary.”
He sighed and rested his head on Waxer, cooing softly when he quietly
hiccuped. “That’s it little light, its alright. Dry your little
tears.”
“…Apologies Obi-Wan.”
“Yes, I’m sorry Obi-Wan.”
The quiet chorus came from the other side and the redhead sighed
quietly, nodding. “…Look, you are both right, neither the
Alliance or the Empire are places to raise these babies but this is
the situation we are in. Do you honestly think the Emperor would
leave me or your babies be Darth Vader?” Obi-Wan leveled him a
look. “No. There will be no peace. There will be no rest. The
Emperor will kill, he will take your children and he will corrupt
them as he enslaves the galaxy to his bidding. This is the future…
if you don’t let us GO.” He stared earnestly. “Search your
feelings… please.”
Vader stared at him before slowly looking down at Leia in his arms,
stroking her little tears off her face with a fingertip.
In the end…
He let them go, Obi-Wan leaving with Padme and the twins as quickly
as they could manage.
