Burning bird seems to be getting close to the end. Could you write what happens next? I really enjoy how obi is needing time for recovery. It feels real
Fumbling
for the footrest of the bed, Obi-Wan held on tightly to remain
upright with a low curse before taking a deep breath and setting his
focus back on his goal with
his slippers slipping slightly with each step he took towards his
goal.
The
fresher only
twenty steps away from him.
By
the incubator, his anxious mate sat with a hand on the glass
separating him from his kids, his whole body practically vibrating
with the urge to get up and help his struggling mate but each time he
showed signs to wanting to,
Obi-Wan shot him a sharp glare.
The
reason for that was the healer standing in the door with raised
brows, Healer Janna’s arms crossed over her ample bosom as she
waited, her
beautiful raven hair tied up and back with beads braided in
everywhere as she observed.
If Obi-Wan could
get to the fresher on his own, the family could move back to their
quarters with the kids in the incubator but if Obi-Wan couldn’t get
to the fresher under his own power then there was no other option
then to keep him for at least another day.
Clearly
Healer Janna did not expect Obi-Wan to manage and was clearly
expecting him to have to remain in
the Halls in his sleep wear that Anakin had been kind enough to fetch
but Obi-Wan was nothing if not stubborn and he wanted his own fucking
bed with
the soft sheets and firm pillows he was used to
and he wanted it yesterday thank you very much.
So,
bow legged and stumbling, he made his way towards the fresher with a
very prominent ache and soreness going off
every time he moved. ‘When I get to our quarters, I’m going to
sit on the couch and enjoy a cup of tea Anakin will make for me and
watch the kids sleep. Then I’ll gloat at both Qui-Gon and Yan that
I’m in my own quarters and there is nothing they can do about it.’
With these lofty goals set, Obi-Wan pushed himself until he was
indeed standing by the fresher door and turned his head defiantly to
the healer.
Said
healer had dropped her arms, her brows raising in pure surprise now.
“Well, it seems you’re doing better than I expected Master
Kenobi,” She turned her head to Anakin. “I’ll write out some
prescription painkillers for you to take with and arrange with one of
the med droid to get the incubator ready to transport. To be fair,
the kids will only need two more days in the incubator anyhow.” She
stated.
Grinning
in victory despite the clammy sweat on his face and body, Obi-Wan
leaned against the doorway as Anakin nodded in understanding, blue
eyes wide as he stood and made his way to his mate.
Thankfully
he waited until Janna left to make arrangements
before wrapping his arms around Obi-Wan and guiding him back to the
bed. “You’re taking a hoverchair to our room, no arguments.” He
stated sternly.
Snorting
in exhaustion as
he wobbled back,
Obi-Wan nodded. “That’s fair. I just want to get out of here
mate, I want my own bed and privacy.” He murmured plaintively
before
chirruping softly as he was settled onto the bedside.
Instantly
there was a softer answering trill beside him, Anakin nuzzling their
noses together. “I know, that’s why I didn’t object to this.
Beside, I’ll look after you and our hatchlings.” He beamed
happily before stroking Obi-Wan’s face slowly. “Have you heard
from Qui-Gon?” Anakin switched subjects, knowing the healer would
be taking time.
Nodding,
Obi-Wan frowned slightly. “The Senate is being difficult despite
the evidence brought forward that Palpatine was involved in the clone
creation but he says they are making headway,” He stroked his beard
slowly with a deeper frown. “It also helps that Yan is chipping in
his credits and offering up space on Serenno to take some of them and
I believe Senator Amidala is lobbying for some to Naboo too?” He
peered up at his mate, knowing Anakin kept a friendship with the
young woman.
Smiling
as he nodded, Anakin stroked Obi-Wan’s hair affectionately.
“Padme’s managed to convince the Queen that they should have a
standing army, a small one, after the Naboo invasion. I think its
mostly a ploy though, to get a few of the troopers safe on Naboo
really.” He frowned a bit before shrugging.
Snorting
in amusement, Obi-Wan wrapped his arms around the others chest and
leaned his chin on his mate’s chest. “That wouldn’t shock me
actually, she’s always been kind.” He mused thoughtfully.
Feeling
the sun warm Anakin’s back, Obi-Wan rubbed his face into the others
chest for a few seconds before just settling, relaxing with a soft
smile guided up at the other, trilling gently until Anakin joined
him, the two softly singing to each other as Luke and Leia squirmed
around in response to the song from their parents.
Life
wasn’t great, that was just how the galaxy functioned unfortunately
with all the misery sentient kind
could throw at each other among all the good and life in general.
There
were still big hurdles to overcome on
Coruscant itself after Palpatine’s fall,
still a Senate in motion and
chaos thanks to it no longer having a Chancellor that they needed to
elect anew and
still the clones to station
and fight for on the Jedi’s side.
But
Obi-Wan felt certain, regardless what was going to come, he and his
family would be ready for it even if it occasionally meant taking a
hoverchair back to his quarters and letting Anakin fuss over him.
As
long as Obi-Wan got to fuss a bit back of course heh.
They
would overcome those hurdles together, as all starbirds mates did.
