#same outcome

“I came here as soon as I could” Obi-Wan panted, hands falling to his knees as he tried to regulate his breathing, before he stood straight “She wasn’t due for another month”

“The droid says that both shock and stress caused her to go into an early labour” Obi-Wan walked into the room you were resting in 

“Y/n? It’s Obi-Wan”

“Obi-Wan” you muttered softly, your serene face made it seem like you were under something “I found out the most shocking thing”

“Do tell” Obi-Wan pulled up a chair and sat beside you, his much larger hand covering your smaller one

“I-i found out that the man who got me pregnant is bedding another woman...who’s also pregnant!” You laughed loudly until it eventually died down “I..I knew they were close. But, I guess I was so oblivious to see how close”

“Who, Y/n? Who is the man who got you pregnant” Obi-Wan asked, leaning forward in his chair “You told us everything else but who the father is”

“The father is-” But your sentence was cut off short by a scream that ripped itself from your throat and bounced off the walls of the sterile room “Kriff”

The nurse droid quickly bustled over to you, datapad in hand “She’s ready”

Obi-Wan let out a nervous puff of breath, his grip on your hand tightening “If the pain is too much, squeeze my hand” You nod, already feeling sweat form on your hairline as the droid made quick work to set up the final preparations

“When the next contraction comes, I want you to push” The droid states, a mechanical hand resting on your propped up knees, you nodded, breathing in and out quickly until a sharp pain hit you like a speeder and you let out a groan, hand clamping down tightly on Obi-Wans as you pushed as hard as you can

Throughout the whole ordeal you screamed and let out a few swear words. But never cried...The realisation of what happened within a few hours hadn’t fully hit you.

“Come on Y/n, just one more push” Obi-Wan urged, his hand squeezing yours

You felt yet another twinge of pain and sat up, your hand clutched his tightly, teeth gritted in concentration as you used all of your strength to push

“That’s it!” Obi-Wan exclaimed, his other hand pushing strands of hair that were stuck to your forehead away

“Girl” The droid announced, picking up the screaming baby and laying her on your chest

“Hello, my little one” You smiled tiredly “I’ll be taking good care of you”

“You’ll be taking care of her?” Obi-Wan’s eyes widened “I thought you were going to give her away to the Jedi”

“I was, but after the whole ordeal I don’t want my baby anywhere near her father” You kissed the top of her head which was covered in birth fluids before handing her off to the nurse droid to get her cleaned

“So the father is a Jedi” You nodded in confirmation “Have you thought of a name?”

“Yes...Shmi, after her grandmother”

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Windu asked, helping place the last of your luggage into the ship

“I’m certain, Master Windu” You responded, adjusting the cloth woven baby sling which held your daughter protectively “I know you were prepared to go great lengths in order to secure my position at the temple whilst the baby is raised without any knowledge of who I am. But I just want to raise my daughter in peace”

“I understand” He stood up straighter

You looked past his shoulder and saw Obi-Wan carrying a basket of food “Thought you might want something”

“Thank you Obi-Wan” You smiled, grabbing the basket and placing it down on beside everything else “Remember what I told you both”

“Outside of this ship nobody knows you’re alive” Mace repeated your words from earlier “Including your former master Anakin Skywalker”

“As far as anyone knows I died in childbirth and so did the baby” The two Jedi Masters nodded “It was a pleasure serving alongside you and I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity you gave me”

“Good luck Y/n” Obi-Wan gave your shoulder a comforting squeeze before he walked down the ramp

“Goodbye Y/n” You raised a hand, ready to give Mace a handshake, but he shocked you when he pulled you into an awkward hug which lasted only a few seconds before quickly he walked down the ramp his arms resting behind him as both he and Obi-Wan strode off

The ramp hissed shut and you quickly moved to sit down on the pilot's chair, punching in the coordinates to Leshef, an outer rim planet that was only inhabited by a large village and decorated in lush trees and plants.

You watched as the bustling streets of Coruscant left your view until it was nothing but a speck. You clutched onto Shmi as the ship went into hyperspace.

You didn’t know it now, but your decision to leave the Jedi saved your life

“Obi-Wan!” Anakin waved his former master over “I told Y/n two days ago that our lesson would be at the meditation rooms, it’s been nearly two hours since the lesson was meant to have begun but she hasn’t shown up or responded, have you seen her around?” Obi-Wan’s knuckles went white as he tried to compose himself

His former padawan was the one who got her pregnant and broke her heart...It was his fault that she left the Jedi-

“Anakin...” Obi-Wan, Anakin looked at him, suddenly nervous as to why his former master sounded so strange “The council didn’t know how to tell you this, but….” He trailed off

“But?” Anakin pressed Obi-Wan, who simply sighed in response, pinching the bridge of his nose “She went into labour a few hours ago...” Anakin’s mouth formed into a small smile He was a father now, he had a child

And yet he couldn’t understand why Obi-Wan didn’t look pleased, he was the one who voiced his excitement at the thought of meeting a child born from a Jedi..

“...And suffered a haemorrhage, the droids couldn’t save her” Anakin small smile quickly turned into a shocked expression, the colour from his face draining “They couldn’t save the baby either”

Anakin watched as his Obi-Wan turned on his heel, leaving him in the middle of the temple. His knees quickly gave out and he crumpled to the ground, tears falling freely down his face, he didn’t care whether someone saw or not. On shaky legs he slowly stood up, his cheeks swollen and splotchy and his chest rising and falling rapidly

He will avenge her death.
