	Was it, or was it mere wishful thinking on her part? Maybe it was just Obi-Wan’s way of saying goodnight, sleep well. All of this was new, to them both. There was still much to learn about each other; little things like how one said good night or how one said good morning. Now that's true and I hope they'll really have the time to do so Siri is indeed one lucky woman -----signature----- Ewan Mace:"Sometimes a Jedi's most important duty is to stand and wait.

	No, jedidas3, I'm pretty sure Obi was talking to me. Another excellent post. Loved this bit: “I’ll do anything for you; you know that, Obi-Wan. Even hold you.” Siri wrapped her arms around him as with an incredible effort, he forced himself to look at her, see that he was safe and back in his own quarters – and with several more deep breaths released the panic and pain as she wrapped the warm comfort of the Force around them both. Beautiful. Looking forward to more, and thank you for the PM. -----signature----- Everybody has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

	Poor Obi-Wan, to think he is over the worst only to be slammed by new memories. At least he has Siri there with him. I think she will make him feel better. -----signature----- For Such a Time as This ( 01/17/09) A Shrouded Path (03/21/09)

	He rested with his head resting on hers as he sought the Force and released the last of the panic, helped by the love and concern of the woman within whose arms he now rested. The merging of the two in the Force had temporarily combined their Force energies as well, and he knew the connection had completed his midichlorians recovery – and how he was going to explain that to the healers, he had no idea. Yeah, that definitely could be a very interesting conversation. They had a lifetime of discoveries ahead of them, the Force willing. The pleasure in that thought brought a soft smile to her face as she slipped under the covers. “You need your rest, Kenobi. There’ll be more nights.” She leaned over him as he settled in and gave him a gentle kiss laced with a sleep suggestion before snuggling down next to him. His hand reached for hers as his eyes drifted shut and he relaxed into sleep. “Sweet dreams, love,” she whispered, entwining her fingers with his. It's wonderful that Siri was there to help Obi-Wan through the flashback and to help him to get his rest. Thanks for another well done and touching chapter.

	Awww this was lovely! He was instantly awake when he saw the signal’s source. Glancing down to make sure his robe covered the gundark-decorated sleep pants he had hastily donned, he hit the receive button. Oh dear huahuahua i can so picture those pants!! The merging of the two in the Force had temporarily combined their Force energies as well, and he knew the connection had completed his midichlorians recovery – and how he was going to explain [i]that to the healers, he had no idea. [/i] Good luck, Kenobi giggle “I agree - you, me – but no gundarks. I saw what they did to you that time – I’m not sharing your bed with them, too,” Siri teased. Obi-Wan would have been dead, torn limb from limb that time if not for Anakin; he had been clawed viciously on his back and his leg muscle torn after a concussive blast had knocked him into a nest of them, landing hard and a bit stunned from the long fall. The Jedi was probably the only known survivor of a gundark attack, and that mainly due to the intervention of his uninjured padawan. “Fine with me.” He grinned, though a touch of red stained his cheeks as he pulled the offending sleep pants off and dropped them on the floor. “No gundarks for you, as well. No reason you should be clothed,” the Jedi’s nimble fingers helped her remove the matching top she had hastily pulled on; he whispered a soft kiss across the tender skin of her neck and lower as he continued, laughing softly in his throat when he noted where her eyes were, “when I’m not.” Too cute! This was a wonderful chapter. I loved the balance between the humor and the dark memories that Anakin's 'news' brought to Obi-Wan. Great thing that Siri was around Thanks so much for the pm! -----signature----- "Hello there!"

	It's about time those two let go of their inhibitions in regard to love and their duty to the force. I hope that will somehow help Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin, whether it help him to be more open with Anakin or to give him more brotherly affection or whatever it is that Anakin needs and feels he is not getting from the man who raised him. Something needs to happen to shift Anakin's loyalty from Palpatine to Obi-Wan. Leave it to Anakin to say something that will bring back bad memories for Obi-Wan. It's good that Siri was there to help him through it. Great job with this! -----signature----- Update 6/23/09 - Chap. 42 - Life Beyond the Code (OWK/Anakin) - Saga Update 9/3/08 - Strength to Begin Anew - (OWK/QGJ/Xan) - Saga Update 9/24/09 - Stuck in Yesterday - NM Sequel Update 11/23/09 - Somewhere in the Middle - (OWK/QGJ) - Before Saga

	Lovely chapter! It's great that Obi has Siri there to love and support him -- whether he's recovering from a flashback or making love to her -- she's there for him. Now Anakin... grrr That boy frustrates me to know end. I just want to shake him and slap him around a little until he finally learns to confide completely in his master. How can Obi have missed that all these years? Wake up and smell the kaf, Obi! Your padawan is sliding down the slippery slope to the dark side! As for a sequel -- I'll read it no matter how long it takes for you to post it. So write on! -----signature----- How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis?

	Another great post. I didn't expect Obi-wan to have another flashback but it makes sense that he would, knowing Anakin now knows what he went through first hand.

	Lolly_Tolly: Now, now, overdo the praise and I’ll get a swollen head. Can’t have that. Gkilkenny: finally Obi-Wan has someone to comfort him. About time, too, poor man's earned it. Siri is one lucky girl. I wish it was me. YOu and others keep fighting over him - poor man is in pieces by now. MiralukaJedi Thanks so much for reading. GeneralKenobi7 Yes, Siri is a lucky woman. And she knows it, which is well, else several readers might have a thing or two to say, right? earlybird-obi-wan Perfect and now with real arms giving him comfort. Yeah, I love that section, jutaxpositioning the ghost and the real arms. Jedidas3 I think you had a typo...when he said "Hold me,Siri..." I'm sure that it was supposed to be jedidas3! It was, in your birthday story, as you know (especially the PM version ). If Wishes were Obi’s General_Kenobi_66 No, jedidas3, I'm pretty sure Obi was talking to me. No, no, no fighting over Obi. Master_Noi: Poor Obi-Wan, to think he is over the worst only to be slammed by new memories. At least he has Siri there with him. I think she will make him feel better. Oh, I think she already has. Smoke20ts: It's wonderful that Siri was there to help Obi-Wan through the flashback and to help him to get his rest. Yes, for once he's not alone and he felt safe enough to reach out. Veloz: I loved the balance between the humor and the dark memories that Anakin's 'news' brought to Obi-Wan. I like balancing elements. Bek: It's about time those two let go of their inhibitions in regard to love and their duty to the force. Finally - sigh of relief. P_Stotts: Lovely chapter! It's great that Obi has Siri there to love and support him -- whether he's recovering from a flashback or making love to her -- she's there for him Indeed, though if she wasn't there for him...um, we won't go there. charie I didn't expect Obi-wan to have another flashback but it makes sense that he would, knowing Anakin now knows what he went through first hand. That was, I think, the last major one, but not the last one. bastet: at least Anakin didn't interrupt earlier. That'd have driven all you faithful readers crazy, wouldn't it? Chapter 28. Truths of the Heart Revealed Morning light angled in, a long pattern of light stretching from the holo-window half across the room indicating the early hour. This light was only an illusion of a programmed cycle of gradually increasing light intensity mimicking the dawn; it was not the actual giving way of night’s darkness to morning’s half-light but it had the same effect. It was a different program than Siri used; she was used to waking to music or birds chirping, varying her sound programs rather than light patterns. How strange. Grumbling under her breath – she hated mornings – she blinked once she opened still-sleepy eyes and realized she wasn’t in her own quarters, or even alone in bed. Oh, yes! A soft smile parted her lips as she realized whose quarters – whose bed – she was in; who still slept beside her. She stretched, careful not to wake him. Had she not once dreamed of just this – of waking up beside a loved one – beside Obi-Wan? This was what she had truly sought, the quiet contentment of just being near the one she loved. The night’s intimacies had left an afterglow of contentment that had been as great a source of joy as the intimacy itself. Lying in each other’s arms in the aftermath and just listening to the other’s heartbeat was an experience Siri would forever cherish, regardless of what the future brought. It had been one dream that she had thought never could be. It was no dream. She was really snuggled against Obi-Wan and warmed by his presence at her side. He lay half-turned away from her; she raised her head to see his face, and smiled. He looked so peaceful, free of worries, a half smile of contentment on his lips. Siri turned on her side so she could wiggle against him. Once in place she wrapped her arms around him and leant her head against a bare shoulder as the fingers of one hand drifted through the scattering of fine hair on his chest, pressing soft kisses into his neck and shoulder. “Mmmph,” Obi-Wan mumbled. He shifted, felt something soft and warm pressed against him; he startled awake. “Morning sleepyhead,” Siri cooed, knowing that would likely bring Obi-Wan fully awake; if it didn’t the hand would just have to drift lower. Somewhat to her disappointment, the words had the desired effect. He blinked. “Did you just – sound all girly on me? Morning, Siri.” Obi-Wan turned onto his back and his arm came around her as Siri curled in against him. He sighed happily. “Oh, this is nice; I like waking up with you next to me. Wouldn’t it be great if we could do this every day? Maybe if I persuade the Council to knight Anakin, so he would move out?” He trailed soft kisses along her neck as he spoke until he reached her lips, and for a moment, neither was free to speak. “Wouldn’t work. We have to be discreet and that means neither of us can be seen coming out of the other’s quarters every morning.” “How often can we get away with it, then?” Though he sounded perfectly serious, she knew he was joking. “Not even once, Kenobi. Resign yourself to that.” “I guess.” A heavy sigh made Siri giggle again, for it had been such a dramatic sigh that it overshadowed what would otherwise have been her sighs of happiness as Obi-Wan’s fingers combed through her hair. Pressing her face against his chest, a hand tracing the lines of his face, her next words came out rather muffled. “It didn’t seem like our first time, did it, love? I dreamed of being in your arms more than once, you know, though we never quite managed to actually consummate our love – maybe it was the Force’s way of either frustrating me – or promising the actuality would be so much more if I would just hold onto the thought of you.” “It wouldn’t surprise me - I kept myself alive and sane with many dreams of you,” Obi-Wan admitted with a soft laugh, rubbing his bearded chin against her nose, something she found strangely endearing. “I tried desperately hard to find something good to hold onto, so I held onto you.” Giggles turned to tears she blinked away as Obi-Wan planted a kiss on the top of her head as his arms looped under her arms and he rubbed her back. She wondered which of them was truly most blessed – surely it had to be her, for she was twice blessed: being the woman he loved, it was her and his love for her that had given him something to cling to when he had been most in need – and by now having him back in her life and in her arms. A soft whisper brushed across one ear. “Last night was very special; making love to you was more than I ever dreamed it could be.” “For me, too. You know one of the best parts - no waking up to find the spot next to me cold and empty, the kiss from someone who wasn’t there – what?” Obi-Wan had shut his eyes, as if trying to recall a memory, his hand unconsciously reaching out as if seeking a thought, a memory. When he opened his eyes, the look in them scared her for a minute until she realized it was his look of utter concentration. “We kissed; we kissed in the Force,” he said in utter certainty, his eyes shining at her. “Siri, that’s the key.” “Key – to what?” Not that she cared, but whatever it was, Obi-Wan was pleased – more than pleased. It was like a long lost piece of a puzzle was slotting into place, a puzzle that was Obi-Wan’s attempts to re-assemble himself into a healthy and whole man. “The mask.” He was utterly serious, but for the first time that Siri could remember, the mention of the mask hadn’t even shaken his composure. “That mask had just about consumed me with darkness and I was down to my last chance to defeat it. I couldn’t fight, not any longer, so I chose to fight by accepting the darkness. I accepted it and I – I don’t remember.” He rubbed the heels of his hands over his eyes in frustration. “I need to remember how I defeated it, Siri, and somehow I just know a kiss was involved.” “Oh, Obi-Wan, is it important how? Isn’t it enough to have defeated it?” “No, I need to know. Once I know, I think I can finally leave it all behind.” * Light. He remembered closing his eyes. He now reached for Siri’s hands and felt her strength flow to him, an anchor to the here and now where he was safe, so he could return to there, where he had been so nearly lost. Light. An inferno and a glow, both beckoning. Faces…of those he cared for. I love you, Siri. Know that, should I die here, I die so that I may live in the Force forever. * Siri’s heart remembered hearing those words once before as Obi-Wan softly recited them, reliving a memory that was hers - so how could it be his? …know I love you. I let you go, even though I love you, for you are not mine to hold onto, only to hold. Come home, she recited in turn. His eyes snapped to hers as if remembering hearing her words before this moment. * I give my life to you – and he had reached into the flame. It flared hungrily and licked up his fingers, his hand, his arm until his entire being was bathed in light, a fire without heat and a fire that did not burn - a fire that illuminated rather than destroyed. I choose love. * “I choose love.” He looked at Siri, and she saw the sparkle in them, knowledge and excitement like a flare in the Force. “I chose to love even if meant my death. I chose love over hate - and the Light banished the Darkness.” Obi-Wan was cradling her face in gentle hands as she smiled at him and met his lips with her own…and the moment that never was, became this moment. A tear slipped from her eye as she saw the memory from his perspective just as from her own; their minds reaching to share this moment. She brushed a sudden tear away from her eyes…. … a tear moistened Obi-Wan’s lips as if from a face bent to his, a single tear that had fallen as if from another’s heart… …his heart smiled and his heart gave it back…a promise that both hearts would heal… “We kissed – we were at opposite ends of the galaxy but we kissed. Your lips were dry and cracked; your hair long and dirty; it was you, at that moment, it was you – really you.” Obi-Wan was cradling her face in gentle hands as she smiled at him and met his lips with her own…and they slowly drew back and looked at each other, for that moment that never was, was this moment, the kiss still tingling on two pairs of lips. “You saved me, Siri, saved me from that mask,” Obi-Wan said with certainty, his lips now brushing against hers as he spoke. “We kissed and I felt surrounded by love. Love kept the light from dying, Siri, your kiss banished the darkness. You saved me.” Obi-Wan was crediting her with saving him from the darkness – after all he had undergone, the valiant fight he had fought – he credited her with his victory, as if he had no role in his success at all. How like the man, how like his generous heart. “Perhaps, only in that I was the one you loved, Obi-Wan. Your heart saved you, because the dark was not as strong as your heart. Your heart is what I love about you, that heart you so carefully guard yet so easily gave into my keeping.” For a few minutes they just lay quietly, arms around each other, until Obi-Wan suddenly spoke into her ear, a hint of a laugh in his tone. “So do I tell the Council that the way to defeat a Sith torture mask – to beat the darkness – is to love?” “I wonder if Yoda suspected that,” Siri said, propping herself up on one elbow and gazing thoughtfully at Obi-Wan. “Did you know that he told me I was to fight with all the love in my heart to help you heal when you returned? I think he expected us to become lovers – you don’t think he had a vision, do you? Force, I hope he didn’t see us actually making love.” Despite her words, her eyes were merrily dancing as Obi-Wan looked stricken. “I don’t think the Force would do that to us,” Obi-Wan chuckled weakly, clearly hoping he was right. “Facing Council might be interesting, if so. Master Yoda can be quite a tease, when he wants to be. At least I have a few hours before I have to worry about that.” He stretched lazily, and though he was still too thin to her thinking, rebuilding muscle rippled quite nicely under Siri’s eyes. She eyed him longingly, but the reminder of the time also reminded her of her day’s duties. “You don’t expect Anakin back tonight, do you? Good, well you sir, just stay here for a while and have happy thoughts. I need to get ready; some of us have duties to attend to.” “Can’t we just snuggle for a while like this?” Obi-Wan’s hands teased over her back. “No, Kenobi, no attachments – you must learn to let me go.” She continued to lie where she was, listening to the slow thump of his heart under an ear. “You’re not going.” Now he sounded amused. Siri glared at him and snapped, “I don’t want to.” “So who’s attached? Get moving girl,” Obi-Wan nudged her to the edge of the bed. “Go, or I’ll push you onto the floor.” “You’ll come with me,” Siri warned, raising her hands in warning, only to squawk as she lost her balance and tumbled onto the floor. A minute later Obi-Wan’s face came over the side and he peered down at her with curiosity. Laughing, he raised his hands in prepared protest: “I didn’t.” “No, you didn’t, but you’ll take the fall anyway.” She grabbed a hand and yanked. A surprised Obi-Wan landed on top of her. Taking advantage of their proximity, he kissed her before getting to his feet and giving her a hand up. “You’re almost as beautiful on the outside as on the inside,” he said softly, gazing at her. Siri took that as the compliment it was meant, especially considering where his eyes were locked – on hers. “Aw, don’t go all mushy on me, Kenobi. You’re a pretty fine figure of a man, yourself – though it’s the inner beauty that’s your main attraction – but I’ll deny ever saying that if you repeat it.” * “I couldn’t, even if I wanted to, now could I?” He decided to be totally honest with her, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching as Siri got dressed. “This whole thing about being discreet comes uncomfortably close to sneaking around and I don’t like the idea of doing that. It seems – well, almost dishonest.” Siri paused in fastening her belt and came to sit next to Obi-Wan. “I thought we resolved that. We can talk about it later, but if you’re uncomfortable with it, we can back off. Do you have a problem with Anakin seeing someone and keeping it quiet?” “Anakin?” Obi-Wan was suddenly forced to confront what he feared deep in his heart. “I’m sure he’s not…” I hope he’s not…. From the look in her eye, Siri did not doubt for one instance that there was a woman – and she thought it was a casual affair, one within bounds. Obi-Wan began to relax just a bit. Women often seemed to know more about these things than men, he’d found. Siri narrowed her eyes and studied Obi-Wan. “I believe so, and so do you, deep inside, I think. You have your suspicions, right, but say nothing because he’s of age, it’s casual and there’s no attachment?” Force, Obi-Wan hoped so. Anakin’s heart belonged to Padmé, always had, but perhaps his padawan had found unattached diversion elsewhere. Siri had to be right; he was worrying for nothing. As an adult, Anakin was free to indulge in responsible physical relationships as he saw fit. As long as it didn’t interfere with his duty, his master had no right to interfere. Not to mention being a hypocrite if he brought it up now, after last night. Obi-Wan hated hypocrisy as much as dishonesty. “Obi-Wan, discretion means just that.” Siri shook a finger at him. “We keep our love life private and it’s nobody’s business unless and until we fail to behave as Jedi by putting our own needs ahead of duty and the Force, right?” After a moment’s consideration, he nodded. With a blown kiss, Siri headed for the doorway with a, “Later, lover boy.” There was no doubt about where her eyes lingered, or the saucy wink she left with. Boy? He looked down, shook his head and protested, “Boy?” An amused chuckle floated back at him. “Obi-Wan, I told you she was wrong!” -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/fan_fiction_resource/b10304/25405090/p3/?52 Prolific Author thread: list & links there.

	Oh wow. I was just about to go to bed when I saw that this was updated. What a perfect way to end the day! I really loved this update, such perfect mush. That was a wonderful scene where Obi finally figured out how he defeated the mask, you certainly have a gift with words. “You saved me, Siri, saved me from that mask,” Obi-Wan said with certainty, his lips now brushing against hers as he spoke. “We kissed and I felt surrounded by love. Love kept the light from dying, Siri, your kiss banished the darkness.

Siri glared at him and snapped, “I don’t want to.” I wouldn't either... Wonderful update, Valairy! I have to admit I wasn't a Siriwan fan (gasp!) when I started reading your stories, but you have certainly won me over. -----signature----- "Oh yeah. Ooh, aah. That's how it always starts.
