(y/n)'s POV
I opened my eyes to the sound of consistent light tapping. I sat up slowly and looked to my right to see Anakin sleeping peacefully. We slept on a bed in the ship instead of inside of the house. He was complaining about the sand and I've already heard enough of that from him throughout the years.

I heard the tapping again and I pushed on Anakin to wake him up, "Babe I think I hear something." I whispered when he groggily opened his eyes. I waited as he laid there and listened for a moment before closing his eyes again.

"Don't worry Princess, it's probably just a small sand storm. Lay back down with me." He reached his arms over and pulled me down so I could lay on his chest.

I was about to snuggle close when I had the urge to pee, "I need to use the bathroom, I'll be right back." I informed him and he groaned sleepily in response. I pulled away from him and stood up from the bed to walk out of the back room to get to the small bathroom we had. I went in and did my business, and right when I was about to walk back to the room, I heard the tapping again.

It was coming from the front of the ship.

I turned back around and went in that direction. As soon as I stepped in the cockpit, I took a good look around the room and even peered outside the front window. Just as Anakin had said, there was a small sandstorm passing by, causing little pieces of sand to tap along the glass, it was the same tapping I'd been hearing. I sighed with relief, for a moment there I thought I was hearing things again.

Just as I had that thought, a loud bang was hit against the ship, right where the ramp drops down. I looked over curiously and pressed the button for the ramp to lower, my first thought initially was that it was probably Shmi or even Cliegg . But as the ramp lowered, I didn't see anyone there.

Sand was blowing by and I slowly stepped off to get a good look outside. I gazed towards the house where Anakin's family was and everything looked okay so far. I turned back around to go up the ramp to get back to sleep, assuming that maybe the wind blew a rock against the ship.

But that thought was quickly countered when a foot kicked my feet out from under me and I landed on my back roughly. I looked up and before I could have a time to react, a tusken raider brought his spear down into my left collarbone. I screamed in pain and lifted my right hand to force push the raider far away and onto his back in the sand. I gripped the wooden part of the spear and pulled it out as I sat up. He was getting back up and I stood up as well and threw the spear towards him, using the force to guide it into his chest. It pierced through and he dropped to the floor.

"(y/n)!" I heard Anakin rushing down the ramp to my side as I fell down to my knees and gripped my new wound. It wasn't that bad, I've had much worse, but it still hurt like hell, "Are you okay; how bad is it?" He asked in a panicked tone as he moved my hand away to eye the wound. He glanced over at the dead raider and I could see fury in his eyes, but also confusion, "They don't usually come this far over here."

I sighed as I tried to get back up to my feet, "You need to make sure your mom and everyone else is okay." I nodded towards the house. I saw his expression shift to one of worry when he looked over to where his mom is, "Don't worry I'll be fine, go." I reassured him and he nodded reluctantly before going to check on them.

I slowly walked up the ramp and gently dropped down in the cockpit while pulling out the emergency first-aid I kept under one of the pilot seats. I removed the strap of my nightgown and began cleaning the wound. Once I got all of the blood wiped away, I pulled out the needle and thread. I sighed, "This is gonna hurt." I mumbled to myself as I began pushing the needle in, "Son of a bitch." I whispered in pain as the needle finally pierced the skin.

"Let me do it." I heard Anakin's voice come in, along with the sound of his footsteps. I dropped my hand down and he took over, "Why not just add bacta to it?" He asked as he continued stitching the wound.

I glanced up to him, "I looked, there isn't any in there." I sighed, "So is everyone okay?"

He nodded, "Yeah they're fine, it appears to have been just the one."

I shook my head, "It doesn't seem right, you said they never come over here. So why did he and why just one?" It didn't make any sense to me.

He sighed with a shrug, "I don't know, maybe he got lost or something, everything looks the same here, it's just pure desert." He did the finishing touches to my stitches and placed a bandage over it, "I'm sorry Princess, I should have checked when you said you heard something." He looked up to my eyes apologetically as he closed the first-aid kit.

I shook my head, "No, you were right. What drew my attention was the raider hitting against the ship, I assumed it was your mom or one of the others." I sighed at my stupidity, I should have been more cautious.

He brought his hand up and cupped my cheek, "Let's get you some rest, I'll stay up and keep watch for a bit. Just to make sure there won't be any more surprises." He moved his hand away and stood up; pulling me up with him.

I nodded in agreement and he pulled me in the direction of our sleeping area.

~*~•~*~

"Please come and see us again." Shmi held me in a tight hug.

I chuckled as I hugged her back, being careful not irritate my stitches, and took in the her scent of warm vanilla, "You know I will."

She brought her mouth closer to my ear, "Remember what I said; grandchildren." She whispered, but not low enough. My eyes slightly widened and I heard Anakin cough next to me.

"Mom I can hear you." He rolled his eyes as Shmi pulled away from the hug and turned her gaze to him.

"Im only teasing," She looked at me and gave me a wink before walking to her son and pulling him into a hug, "I'm going to miss you my baby." She sighed sadly and I could hear her voice cracking when she spoke.

"I'll miss you too Mom, I promise I'll come see you again soon." He pulled away and stared down at her with adoration in his eyes, "And don't forget, you have my wedding to come to." He smiled as he shifted his gaze from her to me and I felt a blush rise to my cheeks. It still feels so unreal.

We said our goodbyes to the rest and R2 was upset about leaving 3PO, but we told him that he would see him again. We waved one last time as Anakin lifted up the ramp and prepared the ship for take off. He sighed sadly as he sat in the pilot seat, "Don't worry Ani, we'll be back soon." I reassured him as I placed a hand on his shoulder.

He smiled up at me, "I know, but it still makes me sad every time I leave her." He sighed again as he looked back ahead of him. He lifted the ship up from the ground and soon broke through the atmosphere to give us a beautiful view of space. Ive always loved being in space, the shining stars all around always gave me a calm feeling. He put the ship in hyperspace and we were surrounded by the blue and white lights.

I bent down and placed a kiss on his cheek, earning me a cheeky grin from him. I hated seeing him sad, and luckily, I knew exactly how to cheer him up, "We have a few hours till we reach Coruscant, why don't you come with me in the back and I can show you how excited I am to become your wife." I whispered seductively into his ear.

He smirked as he eyed me lustfully, "Stay in here R2." He instructed his droid without taking his eyes off of me as he stood up and I pulled him towards the exit of the cockpit.

~*~•~*~

"I hear congratulations are in order." Master Kenobi was the first to speak as Anakin, R2, and I made our way down the ramp. Both of our Master's were smiling happily at us, clearly excited about the news of our engagement.

I nodded excitedly at him and I bent down to bring Master Yoda in for a hug. Obi-Wan even pulled Anakin into a hug as well. Yoda squeezed a little too tightly and I winced in pain from my wound. But I did my best to hide it, the last thing I need is him freaking out over something that has already been taken care. Plus he'll give Anakin shit for it, "Happy for you, we are," My master grinned at me when I broke away from the hug.

"More than happy." Obi-Wan chimed in when he broke from his hug with Anakin.

"Thank you guys." I responded as I stood up to stand next to my now fiancé. Oh how times have changed. Not too long ago, we were standing in this exact dock arguing about how he didn't understand the concept of knocking.

Yoda lifted his cane and pointed it at me, "With me you need to come." He instructed.

"And you," Obi-Wan pointed to Anakin, "Come with me."

Anakin and I both looked at each other with confused expressions before separating with our masters. Master Yoda led me down towards his quarters and I silently followed him, we reached the door and he gestured for me to go in first.

"Down, you should sit." He gestured to a chair in the middle of his room.

I did as he instructed, "What is this about?" I asked with slight nervousness.

He sat across from me and placed both hands on the top of his cane, "A talk we need to have." He smirked and I had a feeling I wasn't going to like this.

I eyed him curiously, "Okay; about?"

"Sex are you having?" He asked bluntly and my eyes widened. Oh god, he wants to have the talk.

I brought my fingers to my temple and rubbed them, I already had a headache from thinking of the uncomfortable conversation I'm about to have, "Oh god, we really don't need to have this conversation Master." It almost came out as a beg.

He shook his head, "We do. Safe you need to be."

I sighed and dropped my hands down to my thighs, this is gonna happen no matter what I say, "We are being safe." If you count the pull-out method as being safe..

He raised a brow like he didn't believe me, "What contraceptives?"

I awkwardly scratched the back of my neck, "Uh good timing?" I answered nervously and he dropped his head down with a sigh.

Anakins POV
"Seriously Anakin?" Obi-Wan shook his head in disappointment, "That is not even close to being safe." He scolded me as he brought his fingers to his temples.

I shrugged, "Condoms aren't that easy to find." I practically lied. If I'm being honest, I haven't even looked, "I also have exceptional timing." I added with a smirk.

He narrowed his eyes at me, "Timing doesn't mean shit," He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a box; throwing it at me, "And I found these just fine." He folded his arms over his chest.

I picked up the box of condoms and eyed them, "Why do you have these?" I looked up to him with a devious smile.

He rolled his eyes, "Don't get any ideas, I got them specifically for you."

I eyed the box again and one of the flaps was slightly open, so I moved it and looked inside, then I slowly looked back up to him with a grin, "Why is there one missing?"

(y/n)'s POV
"Stop, I know how everything works." I complained as he began pulling something out and my eyes widened, "Is that a fucking diagram?!"

Anakin's POV
"Damn it Obi-Wan; just tell me who!"

"No one; it must have fallen out!"

"You liar!"

(y/n)'s POV
"Cervix, here it is." He pointed to his diagram.

I dropped my head my head in my hands, "I know; I have one!" Dear god, someone help me.

Anakin's POV
"A duchess?" My eyes widened, "Never would have thought you could pull that off." I leaned back in my chair giving him an impressed look.

He shook his head, "This is supposed to be about you, not me," He sighed as he took the box from my hand and replaced it with an unopened one, "I meant to give you this one." He looked away from me awkwardly.

"So you and this duchess, was it just a one time thing; or?" I asked with a raised eyebrow as he placed the box back in his pocket.

He narrowed his eyes at me, "I don't see how that's any of your business!"

(y/n)'s POV
"Thank god, I thought that was never going to end." I sighed with relief as I stepped into my room and dropped by bags to the floor, "That was awful."

Seconds later Anakin came in with a huge smile on his face, "That was amazing." He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Really? That was probably the worst hour of my life." I groaned as I dropped my head down to his chest.

I felt and heard him chuckle, "What happened with you?"

I lifted my head up to meet his gaze, "I was given a diagram of a uterus and then he demonstrated how to properly place on a condom using a cucumber." I flinched at the awkward memory that I will never be able to erase, "I'll never look at a cucumber the same."

He laughed out loud and it was the most beautiful sound I ever heard, "I can not imagine him doing that." He finally spoke after he was able to calm down his laughs.

I chuckled, "Neither could I, until today," I shook my head, it may have been awkward, but it's definitely going to be a good story to tell one day, "What about you; how did yours go?" I asked, shifting the subject to him. Mine went awful, I wonder what made his so amazing.

He smirked, "I managed to turn the whole thing on him," I let off a chuckle, of course he did, "And gained some juicy information about him having late night visits with a certain duchess." He grinned happily as he hastily revealed the tea.

My eyes widened with excitement and surprise, "Tell me everything."
