Well, in that case…Prompt where Anakin finds out Obi-Wan arranged for Shmi to be free, either in the two alphas verse, or a different one – possibly where Obi-Wan apologises for it after learning of Shmi’s death, cause he blames himself? If not in two alphas, obikin :)
“From the Chancellor? Really?”
Obi-Wan turned the pill bottle in his hand while curling into
Anakin’s side as Padme sat in the blond’s lap.
“Uhu, he said they were state of the
art prenatal vitamins. Gave me a box of them and told me
congratulation.” The alpha beamed at him. “He said they’d do
you good.”
“I do like the ones I have though,
tastes like raspberry.” Obi-Wan hummed before sighing happily when
Anakin nosed at his hair and Padme rubbed his stomach lightly. “But
since its a gift I guess I can use them. I was running out anyhow and
needed to buy a new box.” He smiled at them.
“Good, you need to stay on top of
those.” Padme lifted her hand to his cheek and stroked it lightly,
smiling when Obi-Wan just soaked up their affections.
“We should think about names!”
Anakin announced happily, beaming at the two.
Humming, Obi-Wan sat the vitamin box on
the table. “That’s an idea.”
“I suggest Preston, after Bail if
he’s going to be the godfather.” Padme wiggled.
“Jinn’s a suggestion too, after
Qui-Gon. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him and you Obi-Wan
but its a bit vain to name the baby after you.” Anakin leaned in,
kissing the other on the nose.
Obi-Wan wiggled his nose and looked at
the two. “You two both seem pretty sure its going to be a boy.”
“Well it could be a girl but I got a
good feeling on boy.” Anakin shrugged which got an amused huff out
of Obi-Wan before their copper haired mate hesitated.
“If…if its a girl, perhaps Shmi?”
He offered quietly, watching Anakin’s face.
Padme stroked her husbands hands gently
as they tensed on her thigh before he relaxed, nodding while smiling
sadly at Obi-Wan. “I like that idea…” He murmured, pulling
Obi-Wan closer to his side.
“…I never apologized, did I?”
Obi-Wan whispered, settling his head on Anakin’s shoulder. “I…
I figured it was just dreams. That you were worried about your mother
and she…” He sighed. “It was Tatooine. You knew how dangerous
it was…I’m so sorry Anakin.”
“Don’t be. I mean, there wasn’t
any res-”
“Yes there was.” Obi-Wan sat up a
bit, rubbing his stomach while biting his lips. “You thought she
was still a slave, I should have listened and I should have told you
that I had her freed an-”
“Wait, wait what?!” Anakin sat up
so quick Padme almost fell out of his lap, the Senator latching onto
him with a yelp.
Then they were both staring at him.
“…I gave Cleigg the truguts to buy
Shmi. I knew he’d do it if I asked him, since he is my father and
all.” Obi-Wan shifted a bit, looking at his knees. “I just…I
knew if you knew she was freed you’d want to talk to her and you
were so young at the time and I was suppose to train you but I
couldn’t just leave her the-”
Arms wrapped tightly around Obi-Wan,
dragging him into Anakin’s lap. “Oh Obi-Wan.” He was squeezed
tightly, Padme now beside Anakin on the couch.
“You…sweet…idiotic…loving man.” Soft kisses were pressed to
his temple. “Of course you went and…”
“…I never expected him to marry
her. I was furious when he told me.” Obi-Wan laughed shakily into
Anakin’s shoulder, relief overcoming him.
He had been worried about Anakin’s
reaction to this but it seemed all his worry had been for nothing.
His mate was pleased with him.
They both were pleased with him.
“You were?” Anakin mumbled.
“I told him to free her, not gild her
chains.” Obi-Wan snuggled into Anakin, sighing when the belly got a
bit in the way. “But she loved him so and I let it be. They
seemed…happy. She seemed happy.”
“She was, from what Owen, Cleigg and
Beru could tell me.” Anakin rubbed the others lower back slowly.
“Does this make Owen…”
“Half. We’re half brothers.
Technically speaking it makes us step brothers.” Obi-Wan hummed,
closing his eyes while enjoying their touches. “…But I really
need to shift Anakin, this position is hurting my knees.” He whined
and smiled when both helped him move.

“Pregnancies…such fragile things.”
Palpatine hummed, eyes on the ceiling. “Parasitic in nature but
still fragile to all the things its carrier experiences…like ergot
poisoning.”
He picked up the bottle of prenatal vitamins on his
desk, a slow smirk crossing his face as he shook it. “Yes…fragile
things.” He turned his eyes to the Jedi temple, his smirk growing
slowly.
