So, in the cellbonding au, this is set just before aotc right – what haopens with that? Is Obi-Wan pregnant when he finds the clones? How do they react? How does Dooku? Does anakin have to deal with someone(Jango?) openly flirting with his clearly bonded master in front of him? Does Anakin confess the pregnancy to his close friend Chancellor Palpatine, and then start dreaming of Obi-Wan dying in childbirth? I love this AU!
Oh Anakin is going to kill his
bondmate.
Well not kill. Trap him in his lap and
cling to Obi-Wan until the other realizes how scared he’s made
Anakin.
Yes that sounds better.
Slapping his hands on the console he
got the ship started and glanced gratefully at Padme. “Thank you
for doing this.”
“He’s your mate, I understand,
really.” She pressed her lips togheter. “I still can’t believe
he went on a chase while pregnant.”
“I know! I should have stayed!
Obi-Wan is such a…” He took a deep breath then laughed a bit.
“…Of course he did it. Its Obi-Wan.” He grinned a bit at the
console. “He’s never one for being cooped up and we’ve been
doing our best to coop him up.”
“We?”
“The order, his friends…me. Of
course he’s going to go on some wild chase and end up actually
finding things.” Anakin ran his hand through his short spikes. “I
am still going to trap him in my lap when I find him, fair warning.
At least his current state would make it harder for people to flirt
with him, so that’s one worry off my back.”
Padme chuckled softly.

Stepping away from Jango’s hands,
Obi-Wan forced a slight smile. “Flattered as a I am, I’m rather
happy with my bonded.” He slid his hands into his sleeves to avoid
putting his hands on the curve of his stomach.
“Oh? Sure you don’t want to have
some fun? Can’t really smell this bonded of off yours on you.”
The bounty hunter leered and Obi-Wan barely avoided bristling.
“I’m quite sure.”

“…Okay, forget trapping him in my
lap, I’m going to spank him.” Anakin grumbled even as they were
lead into the stadium, watching Obi-Wan with pursed lips as the
redhead was tugging on the restrains on his wrists.
And then turned sheepish and a bit
annoyed when he saw Anakin.
With his arms above his head, his
clothes had pulled taunt to reveal the little bulge that was their
children and Anakin’s instincts were itching at him to get Obi-Wan
out of the sun, into the shade and to safety.
“This is just brilliant.” Obi-Wan
sighed quietly and shifted a bit.
“You went on a wild taun-taun chase
that was something. The council themselves told you to remain in the
temple.” Anakin accused even as his arms were pulled up against the
pole too, glaring at his mate.
“Well I was getting antsy! Do you
have any idea how little I’ve done these few month? Creche duty is
not my idea of a good time.” Obi-Wan huffed and looked away.
“Well excuse us and especially me for
wanting to keep you safe” Anakin rolled his eyes.
“Oh don’t you pull that, I was
perfectly capable at going on a few missions to milder climates for
trade disputes and negotiations. There was nothing wrong with me
leaving the temp-”
“AHEM!” Both jerked to and Obi-Wan
colored a bit under the raised brow of Count Dooku, shifting a bit on
his feet.
“I see you’re both very familiar
with each other.”
“Considering he’s my mate, then
yes.” Anakin huffed and looked back at Obi-Wan. “And said mate
was suppose to remain at the temple and look after himself but
instead decided to run of around and endanger himself AND the baby?”
“Can we NOT have a spat in front of a
stadium of Geonosians and Count Dooku and whoever else is here?”
Obi-Wan groaned before tilting his head to look at Padme. “Apologies
Senator.”
“Oh, I’m just enjoying the show.”
She offered almost cheerfully, smirking back at him and Obi-Wan
sulked a bit.
“So you weren’t joking when you
said you were mated.” Jango drawled and Obi-Wan huffed even as
Jango continued to leer at him beside Dooku.
“…” Anakin visibly twitched and
gave a sharp growl before glaring at Obi-Wan, who shrugged in return.
“I told him I was mated.”
“We are having a SERIOUS
conversation. Later.”
“There will be no later for any of
you.” Dooku’s haunty tone came.

Pressing his lips to the cold
durasteel, Obi-Wan slowly shifted closer to his mate, knowing Anakin
would need the comfort.
“You are sure you don’t mind?”
Anakin drowsily questioned while wrapping his flesh arm around the
others waist, resting his hand on the others stomach with care.
“If I did, I wouldn’t be holding
it.” Obi-Wan murmured quietly, nuzzling the metal and then peering
at him. “I’m…sorry. For leaving the temple alone. I’m not
sorry I went but I’m sorry I did it alone.”
“Should have known you would, weeks
of being cooped up…” The younger man grumbled before tugging on
the other until Obi-Wan laid down against him in the medical bed.
Obi-Wan went willingly and curled around the bigger body, still
stroking the hand.
“It was honestly making me go a bit
insane.”
“If we can make sure you’d be
safe…perhaps you can be on the battle lines but you’re not going
on the frontlines.” Anakin grumbled.
“But I’d be out there?”
“Until you get to heavy at least.”
Anakin sighed, knowing that restricting Obi-Wan could be as bad as
outright stopping him. “I was really worried about you.”
“And I for you.” Obi-Wan pressed a
kiss to the others cheek then lifted his head when the door slid open
to admit Mace into the room. “Well?”
“We are at war.” He offered
resignedly, the three looking at each other.
Subconsciously, Anakin’s arm
tightened around Obi-Wan.
