(a/n I feel like this is the chapter everyone has been waiting for and I hope I did it justice. Please enjoy 💞

(y/n)'s POV
I kicked Rey out of my room and I was lying in my bed staring up at the ceiling. I didn't want her near me, I didn't want her to feel the battle going on inside of me. I didn't want her to feel the light finally returning. For the first time in weeks, I've begun to feel like me. I couldn't let her know, I didn't know what she would try and do.

I was angry still, but not at Anakin, or Obi-Wan, or Padme.. But at myself. I lost myself in my grief and rage, yeah they did me wrong, but I shouldn't have allowed myself to turn back down this dark path. Even now I can still feel the darkness residing in me because once you let it in, it's so hard to get it out. So I needed to leave here, away from Rey and Maul. So I can break free of the influence.

I was pregnant and the moment I realized it. It was like all the negative feelings Ive had began to wash away. My love for this baby was enough to cleanse my soul and he is all that matters. I placed my hand on my stomach, "I won't let anyone hurt you Hayden, I promise." I whispered to him.

This changes so much and everything started to make sense. This is why I've been sick lately. This is why my force connection with Anakin was becoming so much stronger and why we were able to appear in each other's dreams.

I had a part of him inside of me, we were deeply connected.

Even now I could feel my husband, he was close by. He knew what I was trying to say in the dream.

I closed my eyes and tried to connect with him.

Anakin.

Anakin's POV
Anakin.

I heard her voice in my head. For the very first time in so long, if you didn't count the dreams. She was calling to me and I could feel our connection growing stronger. Almost like she was trying to show me the way to her.

I'm coming for you.

I sent a message back to her and I turned the ship slightly to the right, where her signature was coming from. "I can feel her Obi-Wan, we're almost there."

Minutes went by before I got a reply from her, but the words she spoke next were well worth the wait. They were what I've dreamt of hearing. What I thought I would never hear.

I forgive you.

(y/n)'s POV
I didn't think I ever would. But I do. Now that my mind is clear, I'm able to forgive.

There was a knock at me door and my eyes shot open. I could feel them both. I reached under my pillow and gripped the lightsaber handle as a precaution and closed my eyes. I was hoping they thought I was sleeping and would go away. But of course the door opened and I kept my eyes closed.

"She's sleeping." I heard Rey mumble to Maul.

"Perfect, it'll be even easier." He told her and I heard them both enter the room.

"No, I can still reach her." I felt her hand on my head.

"I know you can feel it Rey, she's not on our side. The darkness in her is fading quickly." He snapped in a low whisper. "She was corrupted by them."

You mean I was corrupted by you.

She pulled her hand away from me, "I've worked too hard for this!" She snapped back in the same tone as him.

"If you won't do it then I will." I heard the sound of his lightsaber ignite.

My eyes snapped open and I pulled my blade from underneath my pillow and lit it just in time to catch his that was no more than two inches from my neck. I glared into his yellow eyes and pushed against his blade with all my strength causing him to stumble back and I used the force to shove Rey into a wall.

I jumped up from the bed and ran out of the room. I could hear them behind me, I just reached the desert outside when I heard her shout "Wait!" I stopped in place, but not because I wanted to. A force was holding me down. I looked to her from the corner of my eye and I can see them both using their abilities to hold me since neither were strong enough on their own anymore. They were both walking to me slowly while keeping their hands up til they were outside with me. "One chance (y/n), don't be stupid and come back inside. You don't want to go back with the Jedi, you murdered one of their own, you will be thrown in another cell. They abandoned you, they betrayed you. But me, I'm your friend," She stepped closer, "I love you, I've been here this whole time."

Normally her words always got to me, they were what held me to the dark side, she was the master manipulator and I finally see past it, "I think I'll take my chances." I muttered and I saw her eyes glow with rage.

"Kill her Maul." She spat.

"It will be a pleasure." He walked closer to me and I tried my hardest to get out of their grip but both of them combined was too much.

"Get away from her." I heard a growl and looked to my left to see both Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Suddenly Mauls attention was no longer on me, thus releasing my hold since Rey couldn't do it alone. His eyes landed to Obi-Wan and they burned with fury. "Kenobi." He sneered as he walked to them.

"Let's finish this Maul." Obi-Wan got his lightsaber ready and both him and Anakin started in a furious battle with Maul. Leaving me with one.

"Rey." I snapped as I ignited the double blades and she sighed with annoyance as she ignited hers and flipped it to be double bladed as well.

"I really hoped it wouldn't end this way for us." She shrugged and charged at me. I was deflecting all her attacks easily, we spun in circles and made twists and turns as our blades collided together.

She wasn't that skilled with a lightsaber. But even though I was better, it still was close to equal because of how careful I was trying to be. It wasn't just my life I held anymore, it was his too. And almost like she read my mind her blade almost sliced at my stomach but I jumped backwards. She came at me again but this time I pushed her with the force and she fell back into the sand ,she reached for her lightsaber and I kicked it away as I held mine to her neck, "You're done."

She glared at me angrily and my attention was taken away from her by a yell. I looked over to see Anakin on the floor, after he had just been pushed into the building and Maul was standing over a weapon-less Obi-Wan.

Rey was no longer a concern to me. I pulled my lightsaber away from her and threw it towards Maul. He was so caught up in his vengeance he didn't notice as the blade neared him and pierced through his back. He let out a scream as he dropped to his knees and Obi-Wan rolled out of his way. I left Rey on the floor and went to Maul. I knelt down behind him and pulled my blade from his back as I brought my lips to his ear, "Maybe you should pay attention." I whispered before standing up and kicking his body to the floor.

You're going to die for that.

I heard Rey in my head and when I turned to where I left her, she was gone. I placed my hand on my stomach to check on the baby and I could feel him just as strong as ever.

Obi-Wan was still on the floor in front of me and I reached my hand out to him. He looked up at me and I saw him smile as he accepted my help and I pulled him to his feet. As soon as he was up he pulled me into a hug, "This is real right? You're not tricking me so you can stab me again are you?" He teased with a light laugh.

I chuckled as I returned his hug, "No, I'm not gonna stab you. Sorry about that by the way."

"It's okay, it'll be like it never happened."

"(y/n)." I heard my name and I pulled out of the hug to look over at Anakin who was eyeing me with tears in his eyes.

(Paradise by Anderson Rocio 🎼 Start at 00:50)
I've been waiting for the perfect moment to use this song and I love this.
I walked towards him, "Anakin I'm so sor-". He grabbed my face and crashed his lips on mine. They fell in sync like they never spent any time apart. He spun me around and pushed my body up against the hard wall as his kisses intensified. I brought my hands up so my fingers could entangle into his curls, the curls I missed so much.

He pulled away, "Don't ever apologize, you did nothing wrong," He whispered breathlessly before he began placing kisses all over my face.

He said a million I love you's

A million I missed you's

And a million I'm sorry's

All with a million kisses.

I let out a giggle at the contact and all my worries washed away from me. Like the past weeks never happened. "I missed the sound of your beautiful laugh." He placed another peck on my cheek. He brought his hands behind his neck and fiddle with something before bringing the familiar items in front of me. "We don't have to hide anymore. No more lies." He placed the ring on my right hand ring finger, since my left is metal and would not hold well, and he placed his on his left ring finger. Before placing the crystal back around my neck.

"You saved it all this time?" I asked as I looked up to those perfect blue eyes and let my fingers play with the crystal that now sat on my chest.

He smiled with a nod, "I never lost faith you'd come back to me." He placed a hand on my cheek and gently caressed it with his thumb.

"You lost it for a little bit there." Obi-Wan interjected.

Anakin looked to his former master with an annoyed look, "Shut up."

I smiled at the pair, I didn't realize how much I missed their little bickering. I felt like crying, I wonder how much I missed while the other me was taking over.

I looked back up to Anakin and his eyes were already on me like he was studying my face, "I don't think you understand how happy I am right now." He pressed his forehead against mine while still looking into my eyes, "I don't even feel like you're real."

I chuckled as I placed a kiss on his lips, I couldn't get enough, "I promise I'm real."

"I don't want to be a mood killer but you're making out next to a dead body, we should go." Obi-Wan pulled us out of the spell we had on each other.

" I agree." Anakin swept me up bridal style, "Let's go home."

Anakin brought me onto the ship but he never set me back down. "I guess I'm piloting?" Obi-Wan asked as Anakin carried me the opposite way of the cockpit.

"Yup!" My husband shouted as he brought me into the back room.

He finally set me down and he brought his lips back to mine in a hunger. "Thank you so much for coming back to me, I promise I will never hurt you again." He spoke in between kisses, "I'm so sorry for what I did to you." He sighed as he pulled away and looked at me with a sad expression.

"I believe you." I whispered as I cupped his face and looked lovingly into his eyes. "And I forgive you, do you forgive me?" The images of me screaming at him as I was locked in a cell came to mind and my heart ached at the memory of him crying as he walked away. And the one I have yet to not think about was the look on his face and the sound of his heart broken scream when I left him in the pipeline. He couldn't see me, but I saw him and I heard him. That moment I almost turned around. I should have.

"There's nothing to forgive, I don't blame you for anything." He kissed my forehead lovingly. "I don't care about anything you've done, I'm just happy you're here now."

Suddenly a small fear crept up in my mind, I killed Windu. "Anakin, I killed Master Windu. They're gonna lock me away." I panicked at the thought of a cell and living a life without my baby and Anakin.

Speaking of, I should really tell him.

He shook his head, "No, no one is taking you anywhere. I've talked to the council. We're gonna go to Naboo and live our lives together. No more order."

And I believed him, I was happy to say that I believed every word, "And how do you feel about having babies with me?" I smiled up at him and he grinned happily back.

"I want nothing more." He reached up to caress my face but I stopped him and he looked at me confused.

"There's a reason I came back," I looked up at him intently, "Did you find it strange that we were able to go into each other's dreams?"

He nodded, "Yeah but Obi-Wan said it was some rare force connection."

"We've been together all this time and have never experienced it before so aren't you wondering why now?" I asked and he eyed me curiously. I felt like Master Yoda, talking in riddles.

"Yeah it is a little strange, why are you asking all this?" He asked me, growing more confused with each question. "Do you know why?"

I nodded and I took his hand that I had in my hand and moved it down so his palm was spread across my belly. He watched my movement but the confused look on his face never faltered. Force I forgot how slow he was. "Focus, what do you feel." I watched as he closed his eyes.

After a few moments his eyes shot open and he looked to me with wide eyes.

"Anakin I'm pregnant."
