“I will.” With that Qui-gon turned towards the door and held a hand out to Obi-Wan. The boy took his hand and Qui-gon noted how his own hand seemed so massive, or was it that Obi-Wan's was so small? Had it always been that small? Why had he never noticed before?
Perhaps because he had never held his Padawan's hand before, he realized. Giving Obi-Wan's hand a small squeeze Qui-Gon vowed that that would change.
Aww, he's holding his hand, how lovely. Gorgeous update. More soon, please!

To quote a HP fanfic idea I have: "I'm having warm, fuzzy feelings and I don't know what to do with them!"
Qui is going through all the pre-birth parenting stages, including the oh-so-amused "ohmygodI'maparent!" phase XD. Excellently done. He's so huggable in this fic! *steals him, but puts him back for Obi*

Awesome chapter!!! Very strange how these people don't value their children like most do.
lol This quote is from a couple chapters ago but it just made me bust out laughing.
“It’s a little hard to practice hand to hand with someone whose arm span is the same is the same as my height, papa,”
This is hilarous because actually your arm spand from your left middle finger to your right middle finger is the same as your height. lol We did it in my math class, tis pretty cool. Don't believe me? Try it. Get a yard stick. lol
Great story please update as soon as you can.
Can I be put on a PM list if you have one? I would be most grateful.

“We do not raise our children. We B'disth fertilize the embryos as a pair, but then they are left to the hatcheries to grow or not, as nature wills. It is not in our nature to form . . . attachments with our offspring. It is a biological imperative, nothing more. So you can see why your ways take some adjustment for us. But it is our emperor's wish to understand foreign emotions, as emotional harvesting is the heart of our society. My apologies, I tend to talk far too much.” Talika gave what Obi-wan believed was a smiled.
“I will.” With that Qui-gon turned towards the door and held a hand out to Obi-Wan. The boy took his hand and Qui-gon noted how his own hand seemed so massive, or was it that Obi-Wan's was so small? Had it always been that small? Why had he never noticed before?
Perhaps because he had never held his Padawan's hand before, he realized. Giving Obi-Wan's hand a small squeeze Qui-Gon vowed that that would change.
I love how the B'disth lack of attachment is teaching Qui-Gon the cruelty of it and how the Jedi need to look at things through a new light!
Great work!

Hey all:
Thanks for you patience with the long wait for this update. I was out of town on work and recently my laptop’s motherboard fried and life has just been insane.
I’ve updated the PM list, as it stands it has the following users. Please let me know if you want to be added

Arwen-Jade_Kenobi: Nope. The B’disth are in fact rather detached from their children. Hence the interest in others!
Gkilkenny: It’s important for me to try and explain the motivations for the B’disth’s actions. I’m getting there
-Darksaber-: Thanks! I thought the handholding was an interesting little step for Qui-gon to take.
kenobiwanobi: Thanks for your kind words and your patience!
Lady_Snow_Kaguya: If you’re having warm fuzzy feelings then I am doing my job! And yes the sudden realization that he’s a parent has been – overwhelming – for Qui. You’ve totally got him pegged with your description.
KILIK: Not much on the B’disth this time, but we’re nearing the end and they will certainly be around more!
Cole_Kenobi: Ooops. Thanks for tip on arm span. But you knew what I meant, right?
obsessedwithSW: Sorry I missed you on the last PM! You’re on the list now. Yes, I think Qui-gon is realizing, via the B’disth and his connection to the Living Force, that it is against his nature to not be attached to his Padawan. He is struggling with that idea and what it means for him as a Jedi.
Star-Foozle: Aww thanks. I like to write what I like to read, hence the mush

Chapter 15
Obi-wan’s return to “proper Jedi form” should have been a relief, but instead Qui-gon found it rather disconcerting. They had left the medical area earlier that day, and beyond a slight hesitation at the idea of separation, his Padawan had shortly thereafter gone off alone to meditate.
Throughout the afternoon he had sat straight-backed and unmoving, reading one of several datapads from his classes back at the temple. Dinner had brought only serious conversation, gaining Qui-gon remarks from other fathers on the maturity and precociousness of his son.
And while those things were certainly true of Obi-wan, the boy’s sudden shift disturbed him more heavily as the day wore on into night. He could understand a child clinging to familiarity when confronted with confusion and danger, but with Obi-wan it was as if a switch had been flipped. Regular, slightly emotional boy: OFF, Mature, invulnerable mini-adult: ON. But what could he do about it? Should he do anything about it?
Unable to answer his own questions or give his apprentice any guidance, Qui-gon was grateful for the distraction that came. One of the B’disth came around to adult quarters announcing that one of the other fathers was planning on giving a small musical concert that evening. Qui-gon could not help but smirk at the thought that such an act would give the B’disth plenty of opportunity to use their powers of energenisis.
And it would give both him and his apprentice something else to think about besides the little girl who was sick and the father who was worried.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was quiet between them as they approached the central hall where the musician, Stavel, would be performing.
“Ben?”
“Yes Da?” Obi-wan met his gaze steadily, but Qui-gon could see through him like a piece of transfilm.
“Are you alright?”
A slight softening, and then, “I am fine, papa.”
“There is a – tour – of the city centre for the fathers tomorrow. I will be attending. Will you be alright on your own for a few hours?” Sith hells! He cursed to himself when he saw his Padawan stiffen ever so slightly.
“Of course, papa.”
//I wouldn't leave you, Obi-wan, however I must --//
//You are going after the crystals, to see where they take them.//
//Yes, exactly.//
//I do not expect you to forsake the mission just because I am being silly, Master.//
With that, Qui-gon gave into his exasperation. Grasping Obi-wan gently but firmly by the shoulders the Jedi Master knelt down on one knee to look his apprentice in the eye.
“You are not being silly Cai'lan, any more than I am being so by worrying about you.” But the boy would not look him in the eyes, and had erected his mental shields. “Let's go listen to the music, hmm?”
ooooooooooooooooooooo
The man stood on stage with a stringed instrument Qui-gon didn't recognize. Stavel had a gentle look about him and a sense of peace that was all too rare in this place. The Jedi Master liked him immediately. From his purple eyes and shining skin he seemed to be from the Kivlar system, and Qui-gon could not miss the bevel of Kivlarian children huddled and sprawled on cushions and mats in front of the small stage. Their anticipation was palatable.
The Master and apprentice seated themselves on a bench at the back of the room with the best vantage point of the stage and watched silently as Stavel began to play a slow but strong tune. By the time the song was over the children in front of the stage had relaxed noticeably. Turning to ask Obi-wan how he had liked the performance so far, he was somewhat surprised to see a change in his apprentice as well. The controls the boy imposed on himself seemed to be falling with every song, until the fidgeting started somewhere in the 4th song.
“Does the music make you want to dance, Bendo?” Qui-gon asked sardonically.
“Sorry papa,” came the reply, and Obi-wan tried valiantly to still himself to no avail. What in the Force had the boy so distracted? Then the Master followed his student’s line of vision. Oh.
“Child, if you wish to join the others on the cushions, you may do so. An old man such as me can survive the solitude.”
A blush rose over his Padawan’s cheeks. Caught. “I – it’s fine, I mean, I don’t want-” All Qui-gon had to do was arch an eyebrow and the false protests came to a halt. “Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“Go on! Off with you!” With that Obi-wan threw his arms around the big man’s neck. A quick “thank you” and he was scampering towards the mats. Qui-gon felt the loss of the hug, but turned back to the music.
He could easily feel the Living Force that accompanied the music, and was slightly taken aback at the small change in its representation. It was beautiful. Not quite the same feeling as tending to a garden, but parsecs beyond anything he had previously experienced with music.
Shaking himself out of his force-induced reverie, he noted that several songs had gone by and the show was nearing a close. Flicking his eyes over towards his Padawan he felt his heart, and the bond, contract. There on the mat Obi-wan was curled in a fetalesque position sound asleep.
“Well he's certainly less tense now,” he murmured to himself.
“Hm,” the Calqwan beside him responded with a smile. “I may have a hard time removing my offspring from my fur.”
Qui-gon smiled at the site of the small, fuzzy, child clutching its father's fur, and unbidden the memory of Obi-wan's hands clutching his hair returned. He felt the loss of the boy in his arms like one feels the itch of an amputated limb. A ghost child.
“Good nigh to you Ser, “ he said to the creature beside him, “it seems others are collecting their young” gesturing towards the now nearly empty mats, “ and I should do the same.”
But he couldn't do it right away. He found himself staring at his apprentice as he slept. For what seemed like the thousandth time, he wondered at the tiny size of his charge. Obi-wan had certainly proven his ability exceeded his size, and his Master had no doubt in his abilities. But like any other living thing he was drawn to, his apprentice's small stature only endeared the boy to him more; it brought to the surface immense protective instincts, instincts Obi-wan would bristle at; instincts that as a Jedi Master he couldn't afford to give in to. With a small sigh, he bent down to brush a strand of hair out of Obi-wan's eyes.
“I was wondering who belonged to this one.” Qui-gon stood at the voice of Stavel beside him.
“Why is that?”
“He radiates a strong bond, almost like he was one of my own people. We strive on our inter-personal relations and can read the bonds between others.”
This was not news to Qui-gon. There were several Kivlarians at the temple and they always possessed a gift for the Living Force that was unique. But he did not state this, replying only “Well, he seems to be lost to the world.”
Stavel smiled, glancing at his own daughter on his back. “Our lullabies have that effect. Our people are known for them.”
“Don’t let him hear you call them that, he believes he is too big for sleep songs. Pride, you understand.”
“Well, pride or not, it released the tension they were all feeling.”
“You noticed it, then?”
“It is why I did this. I am taking my wee one home on the morrow. Too many bad things are happening here.”
Before the Master could think of a response there was a movement on the mats. “Papa?”
“My Ben, it is time to go to your proper bed.” Qui-gon helped the boy stand, and Obi-wan pressed himself into his Master’s side. He clutched the big man’s tunic, hiding his face in the cloth to protect his eyes from the light. A laugh, and then,
“You best get him upstairs before he melts completely and becomes a part of you.”
He already has. Qui-gon thought, but out loud he said only “Indeed. Safe travels and many thanks for the music, friend.” And then he moved to lead his Padawan to bed.

I have to say I enjoyed the musical concert.
I always wander how you write something like that, now I know. Or at least have an idea.
Thanks for writing this, keep it up.

That was so nice like listening to the pied piper.
“There is a – tour – of the city centre for the fathers tomorrow. I will be attending. Will you be alright on your own for a few hours?” Sith hells! He cursed to himself when he saw his Padawan stiffen ever so slightly.
“Of course, papa.”
//I wouldn't leave you, Obi-wan, however I must --//
//You are going after the crystals, to see where they take them.//
//Yes, exactly.//
//I do not expect you to forsake the mission just because I am being silly, Master.//
Obi-Wan is worried about his Master, something may happen while he is searching for the crystals 
A blush rose over his Padawan’s cheeks. Caught. “I – it’s fine, I mean, I don’t want-” All Qui-gon had to do was arch an eyebrow and the false protests came to a halt. “Are you sure you don’t mind?”
Obi-Wan wants to be just a boy with the others "how cute "
Qui-Gon is falling into the world of Fathers when one loves you more than life.
Your story shows a beautiful different side to Qui-Gon, he notices how small his brave Padawan really is.
His heart seems to be filling with the love of his child.
Very Nice

Very sweet.
Brought back many memories of sweet sleepy kin-sibs (I'm still too young to have my own, but I'm the oldest in a large family, so I do have an idea). I know exactly how they sink into you when you cary them.
Really sweet. Really well written.
Good job!
