Uh! Rude! What a cliffhanger for butterfly flutters! More pleeeaaasseee?

‘Say something.’ Obi-Wan’s mind was telling him, staring at the
blue eyed man in front of him still holding Obi-Wan’s face in his
hands.

Anakin looked faintly desperate, his curls falling forward in his
face and his lips faintly kiss swollen.

He could still feel the wetness from his spilled tea, soaking into
his clothes and the heat that came from Anakin’s body as the blond
pressed closer, the way the others thumbs gently caressed his
cheekbones. “…Obi-Wan?” The other whispered.

“…Its yours.” He gasped out, eyes die, hormones making his eyes
tear up without his permission.

“What?” Anakin blinked, stopping his gentle thumb rub.

“T-The baby, its yours, back… back then. That time.” Obi-Wan
choked out, pressing into Anakin’s hands before he laughed bitterly
as Anakin’s eyes went wide.

“Do you know how delighted I was when you told me you weren’t
with Padme, that she’d thrown you out? How guilty I felt?”
Obi-Wan swallowed. “Here you were…hurting and I…I couldn’t
help but feel…relieved. Feel hope despite… And then you… you
told me she took you back.” Obi-Wan whispered out, shaking, arms
wrapped around the swollen curve of his stomach. “I couldn’t tell
you…so I left.” He gasped out.

The tears spilled down his cheeks, unbidden and unwelcome as months
of loneliness and longing spilled out in the jumble of words passing
his lips. “I actually started crying every time I thought I smelled
your so-” He yelped as he was dragged into Anakin’s lap, his
swollen belly getting in the way of the hug but it was the best hug
Obi-Wan had in a long time, Anakin’s arms tight around him as he
pressed the redhead’s shoulder into his shoulder.

“Oh Obi-Wan, its okay, shh, shh, I’m here.” Anakin whispered,
voice thick as he rocked him slowly and steadily and Obi-Wan broke
down into harsh sobs, digging his hands into the other mans tunic,
curling his fingers as tightly into the fabric as he could.

“I’m horrible. I know. But you were happy with her.” Obi-Wan
wheezed out between every cleansing sob. “And it hurt and I
couldn’t stay. I needed space I thought.” He pressed his nose
into the others neck, breathing deeply, taking in the scent.

His nose ached faintly with how hard he was doing it but Obi-Wan
didn’t care, not when Anakin had told him he loved him

“Obi-Wan.” Anakin squeezed him. “I need to know. Please tell
me…what do you feel for me Obi-Wan?” He whispered, his lips
hovering over the others ear.

“I love you. I’ve loved you for years and I only wanted your
happiness.” The older man hiccuped.

Anakin felt as if he was walking on cloud nine, the heavy weight of
Obi-Wan pregnancy softened body in his lap as he pulled him even
tighter in somehow as he peppered Obi-Wan’s temple with soft
kisses.

“Oh Obi-Wan. My Obi-Wan, you silly…you should have told me.” He
whispered, wanting to be angry but being unable to.

How could he be angry when Obi-Wan loved him and…oh Force, he was
going to be a dad!

He pushed Obi-Wan a bit back to look at the others stomach, eyes wide
as he moved one hand to it while keeping the other arm around
Obi-Wan. “Its mine?”

Nodding with tear stained cheeks, Obi-Wan gave him a smile through
the slight hiccups. “Y-Yes. When… when you bedded me, we didn’t
use protection.” He swallowed. “And…I-well I thought I was too
old.” He shifted a bit on the others lap, feeling a faint ache in
his back from the position.

The knight caught on and shifted the other until he had a better
position in his lap with more support.

“So I’m the dad…this is mine.” Anakin looked up at him, eyes
full of warmth. “And so are you. Mine.”

Obi-Wan flustered but felt pleasure bloom in his stomach as he leaned
in, curving a bit over his stomach. “Yours.” He agreed quietly.
Quietly he was thrilled at the possessiveness in Anakin’s eyes and
the way his grip tightened on Obi-Wan.

More of little stars? Is Obi-wan going to give another try to classes? Have his friends seen Anakin for real yet?

“You wake him, you rock Anakin back asleep.” Obi-Wan muttered to
the group gathered outside the apartment door, tiredly stumbling back
to the bantha leather lounge chair and flopping down in it, pulling
his feet up under him. “He has colic, none of us has been sleeping
good.” Obi-Wan peered blearily up at his friends.

He had deep dark circles beneath his eyes and a slightly pale tinge
to his skin.

“Oh Obi, you look horrible.” Bant frowned in worry, leaning in
and hugging him. “How long has Anakin had colic?”

“A week now.” Obi-Wan leaned back into her, closing his eyes.

Garen took that chance to zip over to the crib and peek in, blinking
curiously at the blond little babe cuddled. Anakin looked a little
flushed, chubby cheeks flushed and tears on his face. “…He kind
of doesn’t look like you.”

“Recessive genes Garen.” Obi-Wan mumbled out, head still on
Bant’s shoulder. “And he’s a mix of two people now get away
from there. I mean it, you wake him, you rock him.”

Glancing back at Obi-Wan, Garen gave him the thumbs up. “Gotcha
man. Also you look like shit. I’m no creche master but I do know
how to look after babies if you want to sleep.” Suddenly he stood
up straight and looked around. “Hey where is your master? Did he
leave you alone?”

“Mmmn, he’s with his mind healer. He still has an appointment for
fifteen min-make that eight minutes.” Obi-Wan peered at the chrono.

Bant carefully pushed Obi-Wan back in the chair and grabbed a fleecy
blanket off the couch, tucking it around him.

It was soft blue with white stars, utterly soft and cosy.

“…That’s Anakin’s blanket.” Obi-Wan yawned.

“Explains the spitup stain I can see.” Garen grinned at him. “I
don’t think your little one will mind if you borrow it for a nap
Obi-Wan.”

“What Garen said. Honestly, trust us, I know we came to do homework
with you but we can wait out an hour or two. Just look after Anakin.
I promise we won’t drop him or do anything stupid.” Bant offered
softly, petting her friends knee gently.

That was honestly the last Obi-Wan remembered as he fell asleep in
the chair, tucked under a soft blanket.

Bant and Garen stared down at him for a bit.

“…Not just me, he looks horrible right?”

“He does. But Anakin has colic, so that doesn’t exactly surprise
me. Come on, lets get a start on some of our work.” The two settled
down, working as Obi-Wan napped.

“Have you come to a decision Padawan Kenobi?” Plo leaned forward,
watching the young one. “About the future of Anakin?”

Obi-Wan stared at them, licking his lips nervously before glancing up
at Qui-Gon who nodded to him in support, smiling faintly.

“Yes Masters.” Obi-Wan turned back to them, smiling faintly.
“Anakin is going to the creche. I… I want to be a Jedi and I
can’t look after Anakin then and… Master Qui-Gon agrees with me.
But I was…I mean when he gets older, I was hoping I could visit
him?” The redhead looked between them.

Yoda hummed. “An attachment that is young Obi-Wan.”

Shifting slightly, Obi-Wan shrugged. “…I bore him. He’s always
going to be part of me.”

The council exchanged looks. “…See in the future we will, accept
your decision we do. Approved for missions you are now.”

Obi-Wan felt a lightness enter his bones, smiling faintly.

He could finally get on with his life.

He could finally get on with his life.

Could we get a continuation of the butterflyflutter story? Maybe obi wan getting super excited about the baby (twins maybe? Hopefully) and just glowing with pregnancy. And anakin is just so in love with obi and getting kinda angsty and sad with feelings

Stepping off the ship, Anakin scrubbed his face tiredly, feeling
faint stubbles on his face before he made his way through the temple
hanger.

He needed a damn shower and some rest but…

He sucked on his teeth a bit, frowning. ‘Obi-Wan might still be
awake even if I’ve come home at a late time.’

After a moment of indecision, Anakin came to a choice and made his
way to Obi-Wan’s quarters instead of his own knight ones. Obi-Wan
had been moved to a larger one while he still could, in preparation
for the baby to come.

A tiny little person.

He wondered how the little butterfly would look. ‘Obi-Wan’s red
hair for sure.’ He grinned wryly to himself as he stopped and
knocked on the door, waiting to hear if the other was awake.

The door did open.

But it wasn’t Obi-Wan opening it.

It was Windu.

Anakin’s hand tightened on his bag strap in surprise and then he
had to swallow down the sudden spring of jealousy in the pit of his
stomach. “Master Windu?” He questioned.

“Knight Skywalker, come in. Me and Obi-Wan just finished having
tea.” The Korun stepped aside and let the blond in.

“Anakin!” Obi-Wan greeted happily and oh Force he looked radiant
and happy, settled on the couch. “There’s still hot tea if you
wish.”

Then the redhead brows furrowed in worry.”You look horrible, did
you just come home?”

“Yeah, I wanted to see you. Make sure you were alright.” Anakin
dropped his bag on the floor and made his way over to the couch,
settling down beside his former master.

“Since you have company now, I’ll show myself out Obi-Wan.
Another time.” The councilor offered plesantly and slipped out.

“Good night Mace, I’ll see you another time yes.” Obi-Wan
smiled and then returned his attention to the knight. “And thank
you for coming to see me Anakin, that was…sweet of you.” He
chuckled quietly.

‘…Kark how long has Mace been here?’ Anakin wondered, staring
at the tray of half eaten biscuits and the half empty pot of tea that
he poured half a cup for himself. “So, how you’ve been?”

“Good, Mace has been looking out for me while you were off on
mission.” Obi-Wan chuckled. “I swear the rest of the Council are
worrywarts and elected him to look after me.”

Anakin looked at him and then let his eyes fall to the others swollen
stomach. ‘Or perhaps no red hair and dark skin and eyes instead…’
Was Mace the dad and Obi-Wan and him had figured things out?!

No… no…

“Anakin wh-mff!” Obi-Wan dropped his cup in surprise, the liquid
staining both his clothes and the couch as Anakin kissed him in a fit
of desperation, the blond cupping the others bearded face in his
hands and keeping him still.

And to Anakin’s delight, Obi-Wan melted beneath the kiss and pushed
into it.

For a few seconds.

And then he pushed back, eyes wide. “Anakin?”

“I love you.” Anakin confessed. “I’ve been steadily falling
in love with you for the last four months. And I love this.” He
cupped Obi-Wan’s stomach, his hand gentle. “And I know I’m not
the dad but I promise that it doesn’t matter to me, that I’ll
love them just as much anyhow.”

Obi-Wan stared at him, eyes wide.

He seemed stunned.

Why?

Did he think he was that unlovable?

“Obi-Wan, I love you.” Anakin implored the other, to make him
understand.

Could we get a continuation of the butterflyflutter story? Maybe obi wan getting super excited about the baby (twins maybe? Hopefully) and just glowing with pregnancy. And anakin is just so in love with obi and getting kinda angsty and sad with feelings

Why?

Did he think he was that unlovable?

“Obi-Wan, I love you.” Anakin implored the other, to make him
understand.

Are Plagueis and Sidious involved in what happens in Litte Stars? This sounds like someting they could be behind. Also how does it go with the mind healer? Qui-gon has to lead by example, and Talh is certainly glad to see him go as well.

“So, did it help?” Tahl questioned, sipping her tea while
listening to the sounds of Qui-Gon pouring his own cup.

“Yes. You were right, like always, once I went, Obi-Wan followed
suit and went too.” Qui-Gon sighed quietly, he hated it when she
was right, she always got so…smug.

Not that he didn’t get smug a bit too when he was right.

Still…

“And did it help you?” Qui-Gon let out a low grumble before
sighing again. “Qui-Gon?”

Glancing at his old childhood friend for a long moment, Qui-Gon
mulled over what to say. “… Yes, I didn’t realize how tangled
up my own mind was with… I guess it was to be expected that there
were still some lingering issues with Xanatos… passing.”

Tahl raised her brows at him, her golden and green striped eyes
somewhere to the left of his shoulder.

“…And yes other things. Tahl, you know better then me that its a
slow process. But I’m going now. Its just a lot of things to
detangle.”

“Is that what your healer is calling it.” She chuckled softly.

“Healer Inra has a lot of hair puns. Its quite funny honestly.”
He joined her, chuckling quietly.

The two sipped tea for a few moments in silence as the sun of
Coruscant shone in on the couch from the closed window.

“Does Obi-Wan like his healer?” She questioned gently. “He
seemed… cautious last time I spoke to him.”

Mulling over it, Qui-Gon let out a low rumble. “I think he likes
her. Healer Lira is rather young but Inra says she’s capable and
honestly, Obi-Wan might respond more to someone closer to his age.
She’s only ten years older then him.”

That got a quiet hum out of Tahl.

“…I’m glad you’re finally doing this Qui-Gon, I’m glad even
if the situation that caused it was horrible, that you’re finally
getting the help you need.” She murmured, holding the cup between
her delicate hands.

Qui-Gon sighed. “Horrible yes but… you’re right, I’m getting
the help I should have accepted before.”

The door swished open and Qui-Gon looked to it while Tahl tilted her
head to listen, smiling when she recognized the soft gait. “Hello
Obi-Wan.”

“Master Tahl.” Obi-Wan greeted quietly, looking…well he looked
as normal to Qui-Gon, just a tiny bit paler then usual but that could
be because he was hungry.

“Hey there padawan. Ready to for dinner? Tahl’s staying for it.”

“Sure, need me to do anything?” Obi-Wan set his boots aside by
the door on the mat.

“No, no I already have everything ready, it just needs to be heated
and then we can all eat. Anakin has been feed and cleaned and I gave
him a bath.” Qui-Gon stood, patting Tahl no the dark hair as he
slipped past her with his cup in one hand. “So he’s napping now.”

“Good to know. May I take your cup to the sink master Tahl, if
you’re done that is?” Obi-Wan offered, a small smile on his face.

“Why thank you kind padawan Kenobi.” She teased lightly as she
handed over the empty cup. But before he could move away fully, she
grasped his hand and squeezed it gently. “You feel better Obi-Wan.
I’m glad.” She smiled kindly.

Obi-Wan shifted a bit before smiling down to her despite her being
unable to see it. “Thank you Master Tahl.”

If he was honest, Obi-Wan felt better then in a long time too.

Obi-Wan shifted a bit before smiling down to her despite her being
unable to see it. “Thank you Master Tahl.”

If he was honest, Obi-Wan felt better then in a long time too.

It’s me again! Sorry it’s been a while – I’ve been off doing Adult things like College and Work but I am back with some asks! — I just got caught up on #ForceSurprise and I am in LOVE! Baby Satine is already gotten a hold of my heart – Can we get some cutsie fluffy times? Maybe Anakin not knowing how to deal with babies? Sheeve sending a «Congrats» message through flowers that only Obi-wan understands and it prickles him?

Taking a small shuffling walk, Obi-Wan felt his lower half twinge
with pain but continued moving forward along the rails as the Healer
kept an eye on him. “You are doing great Master Kenobi. Once you
can move without supports, we’ll let you out of the Halls and back
to your room.” She assured him with a warm smile.

“I know, I know urk. Its just frustrating, I had no idea my hips
would ache this much.” Obi-Wan grunted and then sighed a bit. “I
knew I was pushing a giant melon out of a lemon sized hole but come
on…”

Healer Mira giggled a bit a the image but nodded. “Honestly you’re
doing great, as I said, once you can move without needing support,
we’ll let you go back since we can be sure you can carry your baby
around then. If it wasn’t for that we’d let you go back now but
you do kind of need your hands to support yourself at the moment.”

Obi-Wan just waved one hand at her, using the other on the rail
still. “I know. I’m not angry at you. I’m annoyed at myself.
Technically speaking I’m all healed up thanks to the Jedi Healers,
its just residual soreness that’s making all of this difficult.”

“The mind is a powerful thing. If it tells you your body is hurt
and sore, it will make your body believe it.” Mira hummed then
tapped something into her pad. “But hey, at least you have some
help.” The two looked over to where Anakin was awkwardly sitting
with Satine in his arms, looking kind of stiff.

Obi-Wan smirked. “Don’t drop her.”

“I won’t.” The man squeaked.

“Or squish her.” Obi-Wan added and Mira covered her mouth up with
a tiny giggle as the blond alpha’s eyes went wide.

“I can DO that?” He whispered in horror and looked down at the
sleeping Satine. “I’m not going to do that.”

“I do hope not, I pushed that thing out of me, I would be severely
angry should something happen to the nugget.” Obi-Wan continued
moving steadily. “And then I might have to pull your beating heart
out of your chest with my bare hand.”

Both Anakin and Mira stared at him.

“What? That is my baby and said baby is going to become a capable
adult that will kick everyone’s ass. But until she can, I kick
ass.” The omega snorted.

Anakin slowly looked towards the healer. “I can’t tell if he’s
joking or not.”

“I don’t think he’s joking. But hey, parents tend to be
protective of their babies.” Mira shrugged and then moved to
provide support for Obi-Wan’s walk back to his room.

“Come along knight Skywalker, bring the baby or there will be hell
to pay.” Obi-Wan offered cheerfully, sniggering a bit when Anakin
got up to follow instantly. ‘Such a cute puffer fish he is.’ He
grinned at the healer.

As if she was reading his mind, she raised her brows in amusement and
shook her head, helping Obi-Wan to his bed and letting him settle in.
“Oh, seems you have a gift.” She noted, eyeing the flowers on the
stand next to the bed. “Those are quite pretty.”

Watching Anakin place Satine down, Obi-Wan just gave a low hum. “I’ll
take a look at them in a moment.”

“As you say papa krayt dragon.” She laughed, heading out since
Obi-Wan wouldn’t need her anymore and there were always others who
did.

“I can’t really squish her, can I?” Anakin questioned from
where he was standing by Satine’s bassinet, which had been placed
close to the changing table for Obi-Wan’s sake since he mainly
wanted to take care of her himself.

“She’s just a little baby, enough pressure and pop. But I trust
you. I was joking earlier.” Obi-Wan chortled as the blond came over
to him and sat on the bedside. “Now lets see about these flowers.”
He reached out to them to nab the card in the bouquet.

Flickering it open, he gave it a quick read and then narrowed his
eyes slightly, feeling Anakin watching him curiously as he did.
Obi-Wan then glanced at the flowers quickly.

“So?” Anakin finally questioned.

“Its from the chancellor.” Obi-Wan hummed, still flickering his
eyes over the flowers even as Anakin perked up and started speaking
about how nice that was of the old man.

‘If you don’t know flower language then yes. Alright old man, you
declaring war on me in flowers is a shitty move. But don’t worry. I
know my game.’ Obi-Wan reached out, picking up the gargrell flower
in the mist of the bouquet, staring at the fiery orange color.

His lips pursed as he did. ‘Like the color of lava on Mustafar.’

It’s me again! Sorry it’s been a while – I’ve been off doing Adult things like College and Work but I am back with some asks! — I just got caught up on #ForceSurprise and I am in LOVE! Baby Satine is already gotten a hold of my heart – Can we get some cutsie fluffy times? Maybe Anakin not knowing how to deal with babies? Sheeve sending a «Congrats» message through flowers that only Obi-wan understands and it prickles him?

Taking a small shuffling walk, Obi-Wan felt his lower half twinge
with pain but continued moving forward along the rails as the Healer
kept an eye on him. “You are doing great Master Kenobi. Once you
can move without supports, we’ll let you out of the Halls and back
to your room.” She assured him with a warm smile.

“I know, I know urk. Its just frustrating, I had no idea my hips
would ache this much.” Obi-Wan grunted and then sighed a bit. “I
knew I was pushing a giant melon out of a lemon sized hole but come
on…”

Healer Mira giggled a bit a the image but nodded. “Honestly you’re
doing great, as I said, once you can move without needing support,
we’ll let you go back since we can be sure you can carry your baby
around then. If it wasn’t for that we’d let you go back now but
you do kind of need your hands to support yourself at the moment.”

Obi-Wan just waved one hand at her, using the other on the rail
still. “I know. I’m not angry at you. I’m annoyed at myself.
Technically speaking I’m all healed up thanks to the Jedi Healers,
its just residual soreness that’s making all of this difficult.”

“The mind is a powerful thing. If it tells you your body is hurt
and sore, it will make your body believe it.” Mira hummed then
tapped something into her pad. “But hey, at least you have some
help.” The two looked over to where Anakin was awkwardly sitting
with Satine in his arms, looking kind of stiff.

Obi-Wan smirked. “Don’t drop her.”

“I won’t.” The man squeaked.

“Or squish her.” Obi-Wan added and Mira covered her mouth up with
a tiny giggle as the blond alpha’s eyes went wide.

“I can DO that?” He whispered in horror and looked down at the
sleeping Satine. “I’m not going to do that.”

“I do hope not, I pushed that thing out of me, I would be severely
angry should something happen to the nugget.” Obi-Wan continued
moving steadily. “And then I might have to pull your beating heart
out of your chest with my bare hand.”

Both Anakin and Mira stared at him.

“What? That is my baby and said baby is going to become a capable
adult that will kick everyone’s ass. But until she can, I kick
ass.” The omega snorted.

Anakin slowly looked towards the healer. “I can’t tell if he’s
joking or not.”

“I don’t think he’s joking. But hey, parents tend to be
protective of their babies.” Mira shrugged and then moved to
provide support for Obi-Wan’s walk back to his room.

“Come along knight Skywalker, bring the baby or there will be hell
to pay.” Obi-Wan offered cheerfully, sniggering a bit when Anakin
got up to follow instantly. ‘Such a cute puffer fish he is.’ He
grinned at the healer.

As if she was reading his mind, she raised her brows in amusement and
shook her head, helping Obi-Wan to his bed and letting him settle in.
“Oh, seems you have a gift.” She noted, eyeing the flowers on the
stand next to the bed. “Those are quite pretty.”

Watching Anakin place Satine down, Obi-Wan just gave a low hum. “I’ll
take a look at them in a moment.”

“As you say papa krayt dragon.” She laughed, heading out since
Obi-Wan wouldn’t need her anymore and there were always others who
did.

“I can’t really squish her, can I?” Anakin questioned from
where he was standing by Satine’s bassinet, which had been placed
close to the changing table for Obi-Wan’s sake since he mainly
wanted to take care of her himself.

“She’s just a little baby, enough pressure and pop. But I trust
you. I was joking earlier.” Obi-Wan chortled as the blond came over
to him and sat on the bedside. “Now lets see about these flowers.”
He reached out to them to nab the card in the bouquet.

Flickering it open, he gave it a quick read and then narrowed his
eyes slightly, feeling Anakin watching him curiously as he did.
Obi-Wan then glanced at the flowers quickly.

“So?” Anakin finally questioned.

“Its from the chancellor.” Obi-Wan hummed, still flickering his
eyes over the flowers even as Anakin perked up and started speaking
about how nice that was of the old man.

‘If you don’t know flower language then yes. Alright old man, you
declaring war on me in flowers is a shitty move. But don’t worry. I
know my game.’ Obi-Wan reached out, picking up the gargrell flower
in the mist of the bouquet, staring at the fiery orange color.

His lips pursed as he did. ‘Like the color of lava on Mustafar.’

In the littlestars universe he see Obi-Wan not resenting Anakin, but we don’t actually see him loving him, he seems to take care of him out of duty (because it’s expected of him) not out of love, is it because he’s a jedi and attachments are no no, or because the trauma was just so big he doesnt’ know what to feel? That boy needs a soul healer ASAP.

“Remember, I’ll
have my comm link on and the bond will be open at all times, just
contact me the moment you need me.” Qui-Gon repeated for the eight
time, staring down at his padawan who was feeding Anakin.

“I know master,
but please don’t worry, I’m just going to do some homework and
take care of Anakin. And eat.” He promised the latter, watching his
master relax ever so slightly.

Reaching out,
Qui-Gon ruffled the others hair lightly. “Alright.”

“Go spar master.”
He smiled up at the man. “Enjoy some activity. I’m sure master
Tahl and master Micah missed you and while I had a good challenge out
of sparring with you, you didn’t with me.”

“You sell
yourself too short Obi-Wan.” Qui-Gon squeezed his shoulder then
stepped back. “But fine, I’ll be back for dinner.” He gave his
padawan one last searching look then disappeared out the door.

The instant in
closed, Obi-Wan’s shoulders sank before he slumped off to the couch
and sat down, filling his time with his homework.

Force he wanted
this to not have happened.

He wanted things to
go back to normal and stop having his master and all the older
members of the order look at him like he was a second away from brea-

A soft little whine
caught his attention after about an hour and Obi-Wan sighed but got
up obediently and moved to the crib, picking up the little blond and
tucking him to his shoulder. “So, hungry or dirty?” He questioned
lightly while rocking Anakin.

But the moment he
was snuggled up, Anakin quieted down and cooed up at Obi-Wan.

“…Okay, company
then.” Obi-Wan shrugged and took the babe with him to the couch,
settling down with the baby on his lap, still trying to get some work
done even with the child physically there…in his arms…reaching
for him, tiny hand wrapping around one of Obi-Wan’s fingers.

Oh…

Obi-Wan blinked and
looked down at Anakin, eyes growing wide slowly as he felt the babe
reach out to him through the Force.

Anakin loved him.

Obi-Wan stared down
at the little creature on his lap, eyes widening slowly as the tiny
hand clenched on his finger.

This little soul
utterly, fully and completely adored Obi-Wan and had, with limited
understanding, sought him out in the Force.

Slowly and in
disbelief, Obi-Wan reached back, his homework pad forgotten as he
used his free hand to gently rub Anakin’s stomach. “…How can
you love me? You’re just…you’re so little. All I do is make
sure you’re clean and feed.” He whispered, shaking a bit.

Unconsciously he
continued to rub the little belly covered by fabric.

“How can you love
me when I don’t even love myself?” Obi-Wan shuddered then lifted
Anakin up, tucking the other to his shoulder and nuzzling at the soft
hair.

Quietly he started
to cry against the soft fabric of Anakin’s onsie, taking in the
gentle powdery smell of baby and the scent of milk that they feed him
and soon a well of tears were soaking into the baby’s clothes as
Obi-Wan couldn’t seem to stop it, holding Anakin tightly to him.

“How am I suppose
to give you up if you love me?” He choked out and Anakin gave a
soft cooing noise and nuzzled at his carrier before he whimpered in
response to Obi-Wan’s straining emotions. “Oh baby, oh no, its
okay.” Obi-Wan gasped out between his ears, promptly shielding
himself. “Its okay, its okay…I promise its okay.” He rocked the
other slowly by rocking his own body, trying to work around the sobs
that wanted to escape him in wild bursts.

How was he suppose
to give up Anakin to the creche when the little boy loved him with all he could?

Carefully lifting
the others legs up on the couch, Qui-Gon sighed quietly as he watched
his sleeping padawan. ‘What happened while I was gone?’ He
wondered as he took in the tear stains on the others face and Anakin
wrapped protectively against the others chest, Obi-Wan’s arms
possessively wrapped around the equally sleeping child.

“Qui?” Tahl
whispered.

“…I need to
make sure he goes to the mind healers.” Qui-Gon sighed quietly then
lifted a blanket off the back of the couch and settling it over the
two sleeping kids.

“That you do.”
She agreed with a soft, worried sigh.
