RE: My Front Porch Looking In (Prequel rewrite.) , 8-30-08: Wonderful for some, not so for others

“I have responsibilities here.” My stubborn pride started to kick in again.
“Petra, do I have to make you go home?” She said, crossing her arms. I hated it when she did that. She was just as bad as when Obi-Wan did that.
“No. I’ll go home.”
She nodded. “Good.”
I walked back to our quarters and took my robe off, my headache starting to grow again. I sat down on the couch and cradled my stomach as fear started to creep into my mind. How would we hide this baby from the Order? How could we raise him or her? Would this force Obi-Wan to leave the Order? I couldn’t bear to do that to him, or Anakin. I reluctantly got up and went into the bedroom and changed into the nightgown he had bought me months earlier. I felt a slight bump on my stomach that I hadn’t felt before. I remembered when my mom was pregnant with Anakin. Feeling him within her was amazing and nothing short of a miracle. I knew my baby wouldn’t be kicking or moving for several months, but the tiny bump, barely noticeable, was enough.
The next week, I went back to work in the healers’ ward because I not only felt better; I was bored out of my mind. I was concentrated on my work when I sensed a panic amongst the healers, chiefly Malee. I looked out the window of my little office and saw several Jedi rushing back into the ward. Two Jedi were carrying a man in-between them but I couldn’t see who it was. Siri was limping and Malee helped her onto a bed and told two healers to help her. She then went back over to the man and helped him down onto a bed.
“Petra!” She shouted, nearly at a scream. I sighed and got up. I walked over to the bed and nearly didn’t recognize the Jedi lying there. One thing gave his identity away though; his hand. It had a scar on it that I remembered. Though his hand was bloodied and dirty, I saw the scar. “Petra” I heard Malee say but it didn’t register. All I could do was stand there, frozen, as my eyes slowly scanned up the body. It was Obi-Wan.

I wouldn't say I was getting back at you.

I would never kill Obi-Wan off willingly! and Anakin is actually out of trouble in the office.
But his face was so dirty and covered in blood that I nearly didn’t recognize the man I loved so much. I felt a hand grab my shoulder and shake me back to reality. “Petra Skywalker, listen to me. I need you to help me heal him.”
“I can’t. I’m not powerful enough.” I couldn’t save him. I didn’t have it in me.
“You can do this if you let the Force guide you” Barriss Offee, one of the most powerful Jedi healers in Jedi history, said as she walked up.
“No, Master, I cannot. I don’t have the strength.” I didn’t want him to die but what else could I do?
Barriss took my hand. “Malee and I will help you. Come.”
My hands were shaking terribly, out of nervousness mostly, but out of the fear that Obi-Wan was dying. Barriss placed my hand on Obi-Wan’s, and she and Malee stood on either side of me. I focused on Obi-Wan, though it was hard to with him being in his condition. I shut my eyes and concentrated. I heard Malee’s voice say, “Let your love for him be the healer” though I’m pretty sure I was the only one who heard it. With their help, I was able to see his wounds, find the cause of his bleeding, and heal it. Once we had finished the inside wounds, I opened my eyes and they left, leaving me to clean him up and repair the skin. I went and grabbed a bowl of water and some cloths; I walked back to his side and found him trying to open his eyes.
“Petra?” He asked weakly.
“Shh, don’t talk. You’re safe.” I said reassuringly, nearly knocked over with relief that he was alive.
“I feel terrible.”
“You don’t look much better.” I said laughing softly, trying to cheer him up. He smiled at me and laughed, but then winced.
“My sides…they’re sore.” He said, grabbing my hand.
“You had a few broken ribs, but we healed them. The tissue may be sore for a few days though.”
“I missed you. Where’s Anakin?” He asked, trying to sit up. I pushed him back down gently.
“Anakin is fine. He’s sitting down out of trouble.”
“That’s unusual” he said with a smile. It was true; it was getting harder to keep Anakin out of trouble.
I moved a stray piece of hair out of his face and kissed his forehead. I noticed some facial hair trying to grow. “Trying to grow a beard?”

“Been thinking about it. I haven’t had any way of shaving the last few days.”
I shrugged. “I like you better with a clean face anyway.”
“I guess I’m disappointing you then.” He said, a twinkle in his blue-gray eyes.
“What do you mean?” I asked, wondering what he really did mean by it.
“I don’t have a clean face right now.” He smiled, no, make that smirked.
I must have had a blank look on my face for a few seconds because he started chuckling. Then the joke registered. “Obi-Wan Kenobi, that wasn’t funny.”
“Then why am I laughing? It’s not my fault you have no sense of humor.”
“I have a sense of humor; the joke was just downright lame.” I said in an annoyed tone of voice. But deep down, and it showed on the surface, I was very relieved he was awake and able to joke with me. I took the cloth that was in the water and wiped his face off with it.
“That feels so much better.” He said gratefully. He took my hand and kissed it. “Thank you, m’lady.”
I blushed, though why I don’t know. I looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Nobody was looking at us so maybe that was a good sign. “I have something to tell you, Kenobi.”
“What? Am I dying?” He said with a feigned look of shock on his face.
“Of course not.” I looked around again and placed his hand on my stomach.
“So…you’re telling me you’re hungry?” He asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“No, silly. I’m pregnant.”
A\N: what will obi's reaction be? you'll have to wait a couple of days to find out!

My nervousness about telling him melted into a smile when I saw him smile.
“You, you’re pregnant?” I saw uncertainty in his eyes. I squeezed his hand.
“Yes. I know what you’re thinking but I think everything will turn out all right.” I said, trying to reassure him.
He sighed and laid back, his eyes closed. I stroked his face. “Just rest. We have 8 and a half months to think this over.”
He nodded and I knew that the medication we’d given him for the pain was starting to take effect. He drifted off to sleep with me holding his hand. I squeezed it again and kissed him on the cheek. “I love you, Kenobi.” I pulled the blanket over him and took the bowl of water and the dirty rags and disposed of them. I felt arms wrap around my waist and looked down at Anakin. “Is he going to be okay” he asked me. I looked back over at Obi-Wan’s sleeping form.
“Yeah, I think he’ll be fine, Ani.” I answered, giving him a hug. “Come on, let’s go home and eat. And maybe you can tell me how he happened to get injured.”
“Well, it was this big creature…” Anakin began.
Two days later, Obi-Wan was allowed to get up and walk around. Malee assigned me to look after him until he was released from the healers’ ward. We walked around, arm in arm, talking. “how are you feeling?” I asked.
“My leg stopped hurting. As for my back…”
“What about your back?” I said, worried.
“Those beds are too hard. I feel like I’m sleeping on a bed of rocks.” He rubbed his neck with his free hand.
I laughed and massaged his sore neck. “Maybe tomorrow or the next day you can come home. Malee and Barriss have to approve it.”
“I hope it’s soon. I miss my own bed.” We stopped and faced each other. “Did Anakin tell you what happened?”
I nodded. “You’re lucky you’re alive. Especially since Anakin told me it was his fault.”
“It wasn’t. He just was messing around when he shouldn’t have been.” He smiled, but it was a very tired smile.
“Maybe we should go back. You look like you need…”
“I need a comfortable bed. And you.” He pulled me to him and kissed me.
“Kenobi, if you do that again, the whole Temple will surely know our relationship status.” Maybe it was his medicine that was causing him to do that. I don’t know.
A\N: Sorry if this is a cliffie, but this week I'll work on a lot more hopefully. I'll be gone from the boards from september 8-12, so I'll be posting this Friday or friday night. Have a safe and blessed week!

A\N: I couldn't come up with a big creature that sounded real, so I just left it.
“Then they know. Besides, I doubt they’d do anything to me.” He shrugged.
“Only expel you…especially if they find out about him.” I patted my stomach.
“That’s true. But they won’t.”
I raised my eyebrows. “How? We live and work in the Temple; how will they not know about it?”
“We can enroll him in the Order and claim he was brought here to be enrolled. It’s been done before.” He said, seemingly sure of his thought.
“I don’t know.” I really DID know; I didn’t want him or her to be enrolled. “We should get back. Otherwise Malee will come looking for us.”
I separated from him and offered him my arm. He took it and we walked back to the main ward. I made sure he got back to bed.
“And stay there. I don’t’ want Malee having to sedate you again.”
“You’re not staying?” He asked, uncertainty in his voice. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he wanted me to stay.
“My shift is over. Besides, if I don’t get home and start dinner, Anakin will not be happy.” I squeezed his hand.
He rolled his eyes and laid back. “They feed us only that replicator junk. It isn’t half as good as yours.”
“I promise, when you’re released I’ll have your favorite dinner waiting.” I kissed him on the cheek and walked over to Malee. “When can he be released?”
Malee didn’t turn to me but continued with her filing. “I don’t see any reason why he can’t be released tomorrow afternoon, provided you keep him off that leg for a while. I don’t want him overexerting himself. A couple of day’s bed rest should help, but I don’t want him going on missions until that leg is completely better.”
I nodded. “I’ll try my best to keep him off it.”
“It’ll be a test, I know.” She smiled. Obi-Wan was pretty stubborn when it came to things like that. I smiled back at her and walked back to our quarters. I fixed dinner for myself and Anakin then straightened up our quarters. It really didn’t need to be straightened, but it helped to keep my mind off things. I sat down with a book on the history of Jedi healers, one I had been working on for the past month, but I hadn’t gotten much farther than chapter 2. It had at least 100 chapters and I was well behind in it. But with Obi-Wan not home, I couldn’t concentrate on it. I set the book down on the coffee table and started towards the bedroom.
“Anakin, thirty more minutes, then bedtime.”
“Aw, Petra, why? I’m not a child anymore.” He whined, sticking out his chin in defiance.
“You’re still only ten; that qualifies as a child. Jedi Padawan or not, it’s bedtime. Now get ready.”
“But you said thirty minutes.” He stuck his chin out even more. I knew he was mad because he only stuck his chin out when he was angry.
“Anakin Skywalker, don’t make me take you over my knee. I’ll do it too.” I crossed my arms, equally defiant. I knew that being his sister it really wasn’t my right to discipline him, but since I was technically his mother now as well, I had the authority. Besides, he was trying my last nerve.
“Fine.” He stormed off into the apartment next to ours. It had an adjoining door and was small enough for Anakin. It was really just a bed and fresher. I sighed and went into the bedroom Obi-Wan and I shared. I sat down on the bed next to the nightstand and pulled out a pouch. I opened it and pulled out Obi-Wan’s Padawan braid. He’d given me the braid before he left for the mission. I fingered the soft brown braid then placed it back in the pouch and set it in the nightstand drawer. I took a quick shower then changed into the nightgown. I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep but my head barely hit the pillow before I was asleep.
