Moddy, Hoarder Seer left off on such an ominous note, I need to know what happens next!!! Is it Cody who gets poisoned? Is there a kidnapping attempt against Obi by the Sith? Or by bounty hunters??
Wretched,
painful sobbing filled the air of
what had been a calm evening of the Kenobi quarter after a nice meal
had been shared by the lineage and residents of the quarters.
Until
one of Obi-Wan’s cups had been broken.
And
while Skywalker flailed uncertainly while looking around with wide
eyes, Cody moved to his lover and wrapped Obi-Wan up in his arms,
cooing gently while rocking the man. “It’s alright Obi-Wan, we
can get you a new cup.” He promised in a sweet, desperate tone even
as he shot Anakin a dark glare.
The
Tatooine native jerked a bit, holding up his hands in surrender
before glancing down at the broken cup laying at his feet.
Or
rather shattered, there was no salvaging the cup when it was broken
into so many itty bitty pieces all over the kitchen floor thanks to
Anakin bumping into it while reaching for one of his own cups in the
cupboard and pulling it out with his sleeve or something.
Cody
had no idea really, all he knew was that there was a broken cup on
the floor and a very distressed Jedi against his chest.
“It
was a gift!” Obi-Wan wailed into Cody’s chest, his hands gripping
the other’s sides like a claw and actually that hurt a bit with the
pregnant Jedi’s nails digging into him like that but hell if Cody
was going to say that and further upset Obi-Wan when his emotions
were so unstable
thanks to his rather large pregnancy.
So
many hormones in motion at once.
So
Cody was trying rather desperately to calm down his sobbing love as
the blond was sweeping up the broken pieces with a contrite look on
his face. “Well, that makes it a bit harder but we could still look
for another like it.” Cody tried once more even though Obi-Wan
couldn’t actually leave the temple anymore, especially after there
had been an attempted break in by bounty hunters.
Much
to Cody’s horror and the consternation of many, one of the captured
bounty hunters had confirmed that they were there for Obi-Wan, a
bounty on the man’s head to be captured and brought somewhere and
the protection on the temple had once more been upped.
The
safest place on Coruscant was now the Jedi temple and in particular,
Obi-Wan and Cody’s shared quarters with the 212th
pretty much now living in the temple as they were on constant low
level guard with the Sentinels making frequent rounds where ever the
pregnant council member was.
There
was a loud hiccup against his chest, Obi-Wan raising his tear stained
face and red eyes to look at him. “But its h-h-hideous Cody!” He
choked out before going right back to bawling against the commander’s
chest as both clone and knight stared at the pregnant man and then
traded uncomprehending looks.
“…Geeze…
pregnancy makes people barmy.” He faintly heard Ahsoka whisper in
horrified awe
somewhere behind him, most likely still sitting on the couch where
she had been enjoying her snack with her grandmaster.
Thank
all sithhells that Obi-Wan hadn’t heard her as he continued crying
with Cody now absently patting his back and stroking his hair,
bewildered as he stared at the broken remains of the cup that had so
upset Obi-Wan and was apparently hideous.
‘Hormones
are scary things, thank all little goddesses that Helix helped me
find those pregnancy videos on the holo but honestly, I didn’t
think it be this bad.’ Cody mused to himself before gathering his
lover closer, feeling the bump of his growing stomach as Obi-Wan
finally started to quiet down a bit, sniffling into Cody’s wet
collarbone, the fabric of his civvies turned darker blue where the
other had cried.
“How
about I make you a nice cup of tea?” He murmured softly into the
others ear, knowing he’d need some fluid intake.
There
was a sniffle, Obi-Wan looking up as Anakin snuck by the two towards
the couch as stealthily as he could. “…With jam scones?”
Obi-Wan whispered quietly.
Softening
and pressing a gentle kiss to his love’s forehead. Cody nodded.
“Jam scones and some powdered sugar.” He promised gently while
passing his hands over Obi-Wan’s spine, gently steering the man
towards the kitchen as he waddled along.
Cody
couldn’t help but admire the other at that, Obi-Wan had, since his
belly started to grow, needed to switch to quite looser sets of
clothes and wore only his sash but no belt. His tunic must be custom
sew honestly considering there were special pockets on the front,
large squares that went from the hem to up to the sash where he
stashed his items now. Soft, dark brown leggings and slippers that
looked like bantha’s completed his outfit.
He
looked comfortable much to Cody’s satisfaction, something he had
longed to see the other since the start of the war and to see him
now, round and full of their babies in comfy clothes… well primal
urges.
Cody
would take on the scary pregnancy mood swings and hormones to see
Obi-Wan like this though he wondered if the other would ever allow
this to happen again.
Some
of those labor holovids…
Wrapping
his arms around his waddling love as they reached the counters, Cody
pressed a tender kiss to his temple while reaching for the water
boiler, Obi-Wan leaning into Cody’s space while slowly wiping his
face with his sleeve.
‘Guess
I’ll just enjoy it while it lasts.’ Cody mused, smiling when
Obi-Wan rested his free hand on Cody’s ass.
Yup,
enjoying it while it lasted.
