Chapter Text
Ahsoka ran to the hospital room as fast as she could once she got Anakin’a message. Anakin sounded frantic and nervous, barely letting out two words “hospital now”. So when she saw her former Master smiling outside the hospital room. His dirty blond, hair was a mess and his eyes were red almost as if he was crying.
“Hey Anakin what was the emergency?”
Anakin bounced around almost like a youngling who had received a new toy and have her a giddy smile. An actual pure smile, not the smirk that she was so used to seeing.
“I want you to meet someone, well, two people,” he told her while grabbing her arm into the room.
She was almost blinded by the white hospital room, and she saw Senator Amidala in the hospital, carrying a bundle of pink in her right arm and a bundle blue in her left.
Padmé looked exhausted and for once her usually perfectly styled hair was unkempt and her face was a bit more swollen than the last time she had seen Padme, which hadn't been since the entire temple bombing fiasco.
“Ahsoka I’m so happy you are here to meet Luke and Leia!”
Luke and Leia? She then noticed that the blankets actually carried tiny little human infants. Little Force sensitive human infants. What the kark did Anakin get himself into now?
And that was when she started to piece everything together. Anakin and Padmé were obviously in some sort of relationship, anyone with eyes could see that. Then here was Anakin who was happier than Ahsoka had ever seen him. And the children were strong in the Force.
She wondered if Anakin was just asking to get kicked out of the Order.
“You guys are parents? To twins?,” she asked, dumbfounded. She wondered what else did she miss during her time away from Anakin and the war.
"I am a dad and Padme is a mom," he proudly declared.
He then gently lifted the pink bundle of joy from Padme's arms and placed it in Ahsoka’s arms. Ahsoka decided to just go with it, it wasn't like Anakin hiding a whole family was the craziest thing that has happened to her in her almost eighteen years of existence.
“Hi Leia,” she greeted, trying not to freak out on how fragile the baby girl felt in her arms,”I’m Ahsoka, a very close friend to your mommy and daddy.”
Leia opened her eyes sleepily, which was a brownish clear. The infant was soft and squishy but she could already tell that she was going to look more like Padme rather than Anakin. She wondered how the hell did she get in this position. Just mere hours ago, she had thought something terrible had happened to Anakin but here was Anakin with a family and happy. She wondered what had changed since that disturbance in the Force.
And as much as she was happy for Anakin and Padme, she was still drowning in questions. When did Anakin and Padme even get together? Does the council know about his attachment to a whole entire family? Would Maul have sensed the birth of two strong Force sensitives? Why the hell didn't Anakin tell her that Padme was pregnant with their children? It wasn't like she would have told any of the council members about it.
"Ahsoka?," Anakin started a little bit hesitant,"Padme and I been wondering to ask you something?"
Ahsoka tilted her head, she should be the one asking them questions but she decided that maybe that could wait till tomorrow. But Leia was so adorable until it even subdued her questioning nature.
"Sure Skyguy."
"Would you like to be Leia's godmother?," he asked before adding,"I know this came out of nowhere and I would completely understand if you say no."
Ahsoka felt her blue eyes widen to the size of planets. Godmother? She felt that was almost like the one who was picked to be The Chosen One's Padawan. Except this time, Anakin actually picked her out first hand.
"Of course, I will be Leia's godmother," she told him, still unable to take her eyes away from Leia's soft and scrunched up face,"someone this shield this cutie from her parents' terrible influences."
Padme smiled eagerly.
"See Ani, I told you that Ahsoka would agree to it, now we have to wait till Obi-Wan gets back from Utapau," she told Anakin.
Anakin's joyful expression evaporated and worry started to set in his bright, cerulean eyes.
"Obi-Wan? As in Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, member of the Jedi Council? The same council that hates my guts?," he asked before saying,"no."
Ahsoka frowned. Obi-Wan and Anakin loved each other but their brotherly relationship also had the tendency to turn quite sour. She remembered how angry Anakin was during the Rako Hardeen situation or how dissappointed Obi-Wan was at Anakin killing Count Dooku. Ahsoka herself has been wary about wear Obi-Wan's loyalty lied after the entire temple bombing situation and she was expelled from the Order. If the council were quick to kick her out and she was innocent, she wondered what they would do to a person who has blatantly broken the rules?
"It will be better to tell him sooner than later," Ahsoka told him honestly,"and maybe try to ease him into the news."
Like you did not do with me, Ahsoka added silently.
Anakin sighed.
"Fine but if I turn up dead, just know who did it, Snips."
"Ani, do you think you are being a little dramatic?," Padme asked.
Anakin and Ahsoka exchanged a knowing look.
"No," Ahsoka and Anakin answered.
