It figures. When does my muse decide to kick in? LAST NIGHT. While I'm studying for my chemistry final.
But, the good news is, only ONE MORE DAY and ONE MORE FINAL!

A very scatter-brained, not-excellent post, but it's a post, and some well-deserved mush for this story.
Merry Christmas!
*****
"Well today was a disaster." Kimbal flopped down onto the sofa, letting out an aggravated sigh as he let his fatigued mind finally rest. Court had been brutal for the past two days. While the first day had led them off to a good start, the next two days were harsh. The daily battles had been won by the De Jongs on second and third day of court. Lucci had learned to keep her mouth shut, flatter the judge, and had steered away from her "woe is me" mentality and instead focused all of her energy on bringing Khyte and Kimbal down.
The second day had been to evaluate the benefits Corra would having living in the different locations. The judge, after Kimbals protest that it was too soon to begin deciding that, assured him that it would be reevaluated come the end of the trial. Lucci hands done had come out the victor of that day. With her position in the Alderaan government and her wealth, she could provide for Corra in areas that Khyte could not.
The third day, however, had gone beyond material things. The judge had looked into the personal well-being of the child and who the child would be raised with. Kimbal swore he saw the look of triumph in Lucci's eyes before the judge even started. She was just itching to let out Khyte's mental health issues. He had cast a glance at Khyte; she knew it too.
Besides calling Lucci a pompous old bag, Kimbal's only bright spot in the day, it had gone perfectly horrible. Every case of Khyte's mental breakdowns was brought up. Lucci, while being shut down on every instance, took it upon herself to declare Khyte mentally unstable with separation anxiety and pointed out that a child should not be raised in such an environment. The worst part was that the judge seemed to agree with her.
Khyte didn't say anything as she filed into the apartment. Corra was asleep in her arms; the child had gone to sleep soon after leaving the courthouse. She walked quietly into Corra's room to change the child into her sleeping clothes. She was being quiet than normal, Kimbal noted. For the past days, she would either rant about the De Jongs or at least comment on how the day had gone.
Yet today he got nothing. She had answered his few questions with mere nods of her head, to which Kimbal stopped asking. He knew he too well to know not to press the issue of her talking. So would talk when she needed to.
She emerged a few minutes later without Corra, which told Kimbal that the child was fast asleep in her bed. Khyte let out a small sigh then crossed the room to the sofa. She sat down next to Kimbal and rested her head on his shoulder without a word.
Kimbal snaked his arm around her and pulled her closer to him, knowing that's all she needed at the moment. He kissed the top of her head then rested his cheek on her hair. "Tomorrow will be better," he said simply.
Khyte still remained silent. At length, she broke her silence.
"I'm going to send Corra to the crèche."
Kimbal looked down at her. Any signs of joy or happiness at her words was not visible. Instead, she looked as if she had swallowed large chunks of shrapnel and was holding back tears. "Are you certain?"
"No," she answered honestly, "but what else can I do?"
"Continue to fight in court?" Kimbal offered.
"Do you honestly think we will win?" Khyte asked, raising her eyes to meet his.
"Stanto still has high hopes. Besides, tomorrow we will start going into the investigation of the kidnapping. The De Jongs have no way to explain how they found out about it; none of us notified them. They've got themselves cornered on that one." Khyte's eyes shone with hope, which made Kimbal smile. However, it was quickly gone. She buried her head further into his shoulder.
"Attachment is forbidden," she mused. "It's in the Jedi code that I swore to uphold. How have I let myself get this far?"
Kimbal's brows furrowed. "She's your child," he said strongly. "I would be ashamed of you if you weren't so attached."
"But does this make me a bad Jedi?" she questioned. "In theory, I've been breaking the code every day since Corra was born. I've allowed myself to love someone else, and let that love cloud my judgement."
"You're not the only one," Kimbal said lightly.
Khyte shook her head. "I know you love her too, Kimbal, and do not take it personally, but because I am her mother, there is a far greater love there than you have for her."
"I didn't mean Corra," Kimbal bit out before he could hold his tongue.
Khyte pulled out of his embrace and sat so she could face him. Her face was blank. "Kimbal, just say it."
At his confused visage, she pressed the issue. "Tell me what you've been trying to say; what you've wanted to say."
"What I've wanted to say," he mused. He raised and hand and boldly touched her cheek. "What I've wanted to say is forbidden by the code."
Khyte smiled softly, reaching up and taking his hand. "I'm already breaking the code by loving my daughter, and have yet to be punished by the Council. Besides," she added with a sly smile, "they probably know." Her smile decreased, yet its traces could still be seen her on her face. She looked down at her lap awkwardly. "I already know," she said softly. When she raised her eyes, she mustered another smile and said, "I just want to hear it."
Kimbal swallowed a dry lump in his throat. His chance had finally come, and he found he could not do it. Jonn would have probably smacked him had he been there. He wanted more than anything to say those three words that had been plaguing him, yet he could not find the will power to do so. Instead, he asked, "how do you know?"
Khyte let out a tiny laugh. "Ironically, Junuh. He pointed out the one thing I've been blind to see."
This is a dream, Kimbal finally realized. Khyte had not been this level headed since before Corra was kidnapped. Then if it is a dream, I have no regrets saying it, he mused. Building up his courage, he looked Khyte straight in the eye and said, "I love you."
Khyte simply smiled. Kimbal felt an odd burden lift from his chest. It's just a dream, he reminded himself. Dreams were where he could do anything he wanted. With that thought and his hand still on her cheek, he pulled her face toward him and met it with a kiss. She seemed surprised at first, but then melted into him.
This is too good to be a dream, his mind yelled at him. He wanted to believe it was a dream, for he doubted he would have done it in real life. Yet his mind slowly began slipping back into reality. This was real; he had told her and kissed her without a thought. She had not resisted when he kissed her; on the contrary, she seemed to be reciprocating it. On that thought, he poured even more into her kiss. He knew he loved her; that was why he had to go see Yoda in the morning. He knew what had to be done.

UGH! You snuck in a post on me! 
My senses.....worthless. Must....get....better....sense....of posting. 
There's nothing wrong with mush; as long as it isn't served everyday like we're the Little Rascals.
At least there's just a little sunshine in the dark, cloudy day. Things can turn.
FORWARD!
