Oh Force, that must have been such a shock for Aila, I think that it would have been for everyone.

Amazing update and thanks for the pm, now I can’t wait until I get to read more.

Uh-oh! shock

Wouldn't want to be in Aila's shoes right now no matter how much Obi-Wan is supposed to feel about her. praying

Can't wait to see what happens next.

HandmaidenVeme: It is easy to get Christmas gifts for Obi-Wan and Aila. wink

obsessedwithSW: Nope, this is not following canon. We'll see canon elements pop up periodically, but it is going to stray a lot. I actually prefer it that way, gives me more room to mess with things.

SKYWALKER024: Well, no one has been killed....yet.... skull

FitJedi: Hold up! He doesn't know about the baby yet. All he knows is he has found her. Give him a minute, he'll find out about the baby, but in his excitement he can only process a few things at a time.

Tatooine_Ghost: Thanks! grin

Amidala66: There was a reason I wanted to post the sequel around Christmas. wink

Star_Angel: A pleasant shock...at least initially. worried

DarthSilious: Aila is "ok" for now. She hasn't done anything to irritate her husband.... yet

To Everybody: I know, "Always in Motion," is "Always Updated." tongue laugh I originally said it would take me a few days to get this post up, but I was able to finish it earlier that I thought. However, I do want it to be known that despite popular belief, this fic is not, "Always Updated." If things go well I will be able to get one more post in either New Years Eve or New Years Day, then you all won't see another update until mid to late January. I might be on the boards catching up on reading, but I won't be writing. I will be in the middle of an accounting close at work which means long hours and no writing time.

Ok, now that is taken care of, just a note about this chapter. Read it carefully. Something important is going on in it that will be revealed later. Just letting everyone know.

Also, fun fact for those wondering if the sequel will be longer than the original. It is impossible to tell at this moment, but if you are curious. The sequel is already 6 pages longer than the first story was at this point.


Chapter 4: Avarik’s Goddess

“Aila! It’s alright, it’s me.” Avarik stated hurriedly as he drew his startled wife back into his arms. His heart beat wildly with elation at the revelation that she was still alive.

For a moment, Aila continued to push at Avarik’s shoulder, trying to move away from him. However, as she began to feel love, relief, and longing flow over her Force bond with Obi-Wan, her struggles ceased. “O…Obi-Wan?” She asked skeptically, not sure if her eyes were deceiving her.

“Yes, my goddess.” Avarik replied with a breathless whisper before leaning in to capture Aila’s lips once again, with his own. Over his Force bond he added, “I thought you were dead.”

“I thought you were dead.” Aila echoed back before verbally giving a pleased sigh as her husband’s hand trailed down her body. “I missed you.”

“I love you. I…” Avarik’s reply to his wife was cut short as the voice of her father was heard.

“Let her go!” Aila’s scream had awakened her parents and they had both gone to their daughter’s aid. Aila’s father had ordered his wife to stay back when he realized the cause of Aila’s scream was from the appearance of Obi-Wan, apparently alive and well. After what his daughter had told him earlier that evening, he knew caution was needed. Obi-Wan was dangerous to all inhabitants in the home, including Aila.

“It’s all right.” Avarik called out over his shoulder, not taking his eyes off his wife.

“I said get away from her!” Aila’s father stated more sternly.

Aila watched in horror as her husband’s eyes briefly flashed an amber color as he stood from the bed and turned to face her father. “Why should I?” He growled.

Not wanting a fight to ensue, because Aila knew her father was no match for Jedi or Sith abilities, she placed a calming hand on her husband’s shoulder while she addressed her father. “It’s ok, Dad.” A part of her trembled with fear at the anger she had seen in her husband’s eyes. She had felt relief to see her husband alive, but it hurt to see his darker nature take hold of him. For a moment she thought she had her Obi-Wan back, but now she knew he was still consumed by darkness.

This gave Aila and her parents a reason to fear Obi-Wan. However, at the same time, Aila could not just shun her husband. Despite his current allegiance with evil, she still loved him and could not imagine life without him. The last few days had been agony when she had thought he was dead and now that they were reunited she could not flee her husband. In an alternate future Anakin had been saved from the dark side and she hoped her husband could share a similar fate.

“No, it’s not ok. You said it yourself, he is a Sith and cannot be trusted.” Aila’s father added.

“What do you mean, I can’t be trusted?” Avarik growled. “I’m her husband. I love her.”

“You are not her husband.” Aila’s father stated, crossing his arms over his chest. “She married Obi-Wan Kenobi, not Darth whatever you are.”

Aila could see the tension in her husband’s shoulder and that his breathing was accelerating as his rage began to bubble. “Dad, please don’t get in the middle of this. I love him.” She pleaded with her father not to make this situation worse.

Aila’s words caused some of the malice glowing in Avarik’s eyes to recede momentarily. Seeing her husband’s muscles relax slightly, Aila stood from the bed and joined his side.

“I will not let him hurt you anymore than he already has.” Aila’s father countered his daughter.

“I would never harm her!” Avarik barked in response. His eyes narrowed as he said, “I will not let you take her from me. She was stolen from me once; I won’t let that happen again.”

“She’s staying here.” Feeling braver than he should have, Aila’s father took a step towards his daughter, his hands outstretched to pull her away from the Sith.

“No!” Avarik shouted, extending his palm and giving Aila’s father a Force push.

As she watched her father stumble backwards from the attack, Aila gave a strangled cry of “No!” as she tugged at her husband’s hand.

Aila’s pain filled cry halted Avarik’s attack and as the infuriation that fueled his attack faded and he witnessed the outcome of his actions, he quickly called upon the Force to steady her father.

“Please don’t hurt him.” Aila pleaded, putting herself between her father and her husband. She drew both of her husband’s hands, one metal and one flesh into her own. She ignored the cool durasteel of his new metal appendage as she tried to catch her husband’s eyes. She was relieved when they were his natural blue green color rather than sithly yellow. Part of her wanted to yell at her husband for nearly attacking her father, but he had stopped himself. A true Sith would have carried out the attack, but deep down her Obi-Wan was still there. Good still resided in his soul, he had just revealed that.

“I’m sorry.” Avarik stated meekly, opening his arms so that Aila could enter them. He was not sure if he deserved the love and forgiveness he felt from her after what he had almost done.

He started to berate himself, but any negative thoughts or guilt he would have felt faded as he sensed a ripple in the Force. Unsure of the source, Avarik tensed as Aila approached him, opening his senses to the Force anomaly. It was not until he wrapped a protective hand around his wife that he felt the tiny spark growing within her, causing his heart to leap in excitement.

Caught up in the news he had revealed to himself, Avarik grabbed Aila and pulled her into a fierce kiss.

“I told you to get away from her!” Aila’s father continued to argue, cautiously nearing his son-in-law after his last attack.

Avarik ignored the older man’s comment as he pulled away from Aila’s kiss swollen lips, to whisper, “Come on. We’re going home.”

“What?” Aila asked, shaking her head while she caught her breath from her husband’s last display of passion.

“We’re going home, my goddess.”

Aila took a tentative step away from her husband, “But….” Had her husband not fallen to the dark side she probably would have been more willing to follow his request, but knowing that the Sith had seized control of the galaxy made her feel uneasy about returning, for both herself and her husband.

“I’m not letting you out of my sight again. I must return and you are coming with me. I won’t leave you here unprotected.” Avarik then picked up Aila into his arms, to rebuke any further protest.

“She’s safer here than with you.” Aila’s father countered. He stepped into the path that led out of the bedroom, blocking Avarik’s departure.

Aila was thinking furiously of some excuse to stay where she was, with Obi-Wan. She knew he would be better off without the influence of Sidious. “We have no enemies here. Why don’t we stay here? We can leave everything else behind and start a new life.”

Avarik smiled warmly. “We don’t have to runaway, my goddess. I’ve dealt with the majority of our enemies. I can protect you from the rest. Besides, with you by my side, we’ll overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy together. No one will touch us once we are in power.” A wistful glint shone in Avarik’s eyes with his statement.

“But, I don’t want that.” Aila shook her head sadly, echoing her words from Mustafar.

Avarik flashed her a warm smile and gave her a peck on the lips. “With time, I’m sure you’ll see things my way, my stubborn goddess.”

“Obi-Wan!” Aila began to plead, but before she could continue her father spoke up again.

“You aren’t taking her. Her place is here! Now leave!”

Irritated by his father-in-law’s constant nagging, part of Avarik wished he had completed his previous attack. However, knowing Aila would disapprove he restrained himself and merely shifted Aila in his arms so that he could wave his hand before her father. Avarik called on the Force to suggest that Aila’s father take a nap long enough for the Sith to get his wife and unborn child off the planet.

Avarik then used the Force to gently settle Aila’s father against the wall after his knees buckled underneath him due to the Force suggestion. Avarik realized Aila got her stubbornness from her father because he had to concentrate heavily to get him to succumb to the mind trick.

“No!” Aila squirmed in her husband’s arms. “What did you do to him?”

Avarik tightened his grip on his wife. “He’ll be all right. He’ll wake up once we are gone.”

However, Avarik’s words did not seem to calm Aila who was frantically trying to push herself out of his arms. “No! Please…no!” She pleaded. She did not want to leave her father this way. She knew he would be devastated when he woke up and found out that she had been taken. It would be better for her to tell him she was leaving of her own free will. Her father still might not have liked that response, but it was better that knocking him out.

Sensing his wife’s growing distress, Avarik knew he needed to settle her down for her own well being as well as that of the baby. After the emotional rollercoaster the two of them had been on the last few weeks, he knew the baby did not need more stress. With this justification, Avarik did something he frequently did to calm Aila. He pushed on their Force bond to put her to sleep. In a matter of seconds, her body was limp in his arms, her head resting on his chest. “Rest well, my goddess. I’ll protect you.” He murmured into her hair as he carried her to the doorway of her bedroom.

Before he left, he glanced around the room for anything he felt he should take with them. The only item that caught his eye was his old lightsaber. With the new one swinging on his belt he had no use for the old one. However, Aila had kept it and he could not deny her this memento. So calling upon the Force he called it to him and by shifting Aila in his arms, he was able to secure it to his belt. Finding nothing else of significance, he carried his wife out of the room, but there was still one last obstacle on his way to his starfighter.

“Please don’t take her.” Aila’s mother pleaded, throwing herself at her son-in-law. “She’s been through enough already.” Having been outside of the bedroom, Aila’s mother had only heard the exchange between Avarik and her husband. She did not see what the Sith Lord had done, but she did not care. Her sole focus was on protecting her daughter.

“I’ll take good care of her.” Avarik tried to reassure the woman.

“She’s better off here, without you.” Aila’s mother sobbed as she tugged at Avarik’s cloak.

At this, Avarik whirled around, and growled. “No! She’s mine!” Then with a wave of his hand he repeated the mind trick he had used on Aila’s father. Once Aila’s mother was settled on the ground, he added, “No one will split up my family.” Then he exited Aila’s home undisturbed.

Snow caught in Aila’s hair as Avarik cautiously maneuvered the two of them into his starfighter. It would have been easier to get settled if Aila had been awake for this process, but she needed the rest.

As he waited for the engines of his ship to fire up, Avarik ran his left hand over Aila’s abdomen once more, feeling the ripple in the Force from before. Before taking the controls to guide them away from this galaxy, Avarik cast a proud smile at the tiny life growing within his wife and said, “We are going home, my son.”

Very strange. I checked my hard copy version and it had "life", but somehow the softcopy version changed to "lift" between the time I printed and posted which was only a few minutes. Probably spell check doing something screwy. Mine hates me because of all the Star Wars terms I make it interpret. It is, "Revenge of the Spell Check!" tongue

Oh well, it is fixed now.

I must have missed something, when did Avarik find out about their child and does Aila know about it?

Anyway, this was a great update, I really liked Aila’s father in this.

Thanks for the pm.

Well that was an interesting turn of events. Alia is going to be one angry woman when she wakes up; even more so when she runs into Palpatine.

In all of my stories, Jedi (or Sith) can feel Force presences (unless someone is purposefully cloaking themselves), so Avarik can sense the tiny life growing within Aila. So he knows there is a baby, but he didn't tell Aila that. So Aila does not know at this point. Don't worry, she'll find out.

I have read very carefully...no t easy to do when you have a Sith kitten on your lap at the keyboard. She was very interested in your story. She must be an Obi groupie. LOL

I enjoyed this chapter. I loved how Aila's parents tried to protect her. She is one lucky goddess.

I don't think she will be too pleased when she wakes up... unless Avarik does a memory wipe

Nice job.

I hope sidious doesn't get his filthy hands on Aila. If he does well then I hope Obi-Wan slices him into a million pieces.

Well he does have more self contol than Vader. Wont Palpy want the child to replace OBiWan?

Ohh not good, I do not think Aila will be very happy with Darth Avarik taking her away from her home and family under these circumstances. Very interesting indeed I can't wait to see where this leads to next.

Ack! three posts! I'm beginning to wonder if Avarik will ever die and bring Obi-Wan back. Is that even possible?
