Chapter 1:
Flashback
"I thought we were going to wait Padme" her fiancé Rush said as Padme sat on the couch watching him pace up and down in front of her. They had only been engaged for three months and she had just informed him that she was pregnant and Rush was not taking the news well.
"We agreed to focus on the wedding and then we would be ready to have children" he reminds her turning towards her "Padme, we can't have this baby, not now" he tells her. Padme gasps, a hand on her stomach
"I know you're upset Rush, I was stunned too but I will not abort this baby" she replies as Rush then shakes his head moving over towards the door.
"I'm sorry Padme, I love you but I'm not ready to become a father, it's too soon" he confesses before he exits the house leaving Padme falling back on the couch as she felt the tears down her face.
End of flashback
Seven years had gone by since that day her engagement fell through. Her parents were upset, in particular her mother. They took the news of her pregnancy better than Rush had, though her mother was upset that she wouldn't be planning her daughter's wedding, she was excited to become a grandmother. Her sister Sola, already a mother to Padme's two nieces was by her sister's side helping her with her pregnancy needs, classes and looking for a new place.
It wasn't easy especially since Padme also worked. She was one of the city's top lawyers along with her close friend Satine, who she met day one of her job and discovered they shared more than just a passion for the job
Flashback
"You must be Padme" the woman spoke. She was around Padme's age and had short blond hair and wore knee length black skirt and light short sleeved blouse and she wore a large black bag over her shoulder. She gives her a friendly hug
"I am, and you are?" she asks seeing her laugh
"Oh, sorry, I'm Satine. This is my first day. I'm trying to get my mind off my horrible break up from my husband. Three months into marriage, you tell him you're pregnant and he freaks out and leaves me" she reveals. Padme felt a little embarrassed
"Oh, I'm so sorry. My jerk fiancé wanted me to abort my unexpected pregnancy because he only wanted to focus on getting married first and not be a father right now" she replies. Satine laughs
"Well congratulations on your pregnancy" Padme tells her as Satine blushes, one hand on her flat stomach
"Thank you, congratulations to you as well, perhaps we can share stories" she suggests as Padme smiles.
"I look forward to it" she says and just like that, Padme felt not so alone. She lost Rush but gained a new friend and perhaps a new friend for her unborn child.
**********************************************************************************************
In seven years, Padme's life had been busy and blessed. She now was mother to two beautiful twins, Luke and Leia. She was thriving in her job and she and Satine spent most of their time together. Three years ago, Satine went on a blind date and found herself pregnant once more giving her daughter Isabel a baby brother James.
Both their dating lives were sociable but neither of them had found the right man especially who wanted to be a father. Luke, Leia and Isabel were now in the first grade and Luke and Leia had found themselves in separate classes but luckily Leia had Isabel and Luke had his best friend. They didn't know who their teachers would be but were excited to find out.
***********************************************************************************************
Anakin Skywalker had lived in the city for two years. He moved there with his then girlfriend Darra, best friend Obi Wan and his girlfriend Siri. One year into living together, Anakin discovered Darra cheated on him and Obi Wan and Siri argued over whether he would commit fully to the relationship.
So, now it was just Anakin and Obi Wan. Darra moved on with her new boyfriend and Siri headed back home to her family, however it wasn't long till Obi Wan and Anakin found themselves a new roommate, Anakin's teacher's aide, Ahsoka Tano. She didn't have a place to stay so Anakin offered their place to which she was unsure at first, but now she feels like she has gained two brothers.
This is her first teaching job and she's excited to learn under Anakin. She has no idea just what she'll encounter and how her two new friend's lives will change just through 3 special students.
************************************************************************************************
"You're late, Anakin" came Obi Wan's voice, he was smirking as he watched Anakin enter the teacher's lounge that morning. Ahsoka had already headed over to the classroom.
"It's not like I wanted to be late. My date from last night wanted me to stay in with her and not come today even when I told her it's my first day. She was persistent" he admits moving over to make himself some coffee as Obi Wan grins
"Oh yes, from what I overheard last night, you gave her a night to remember, so its no wonder she didn't want to leave" he cheekily smirks taking a sip of his coffee as Anakin rolls his eyes, tossing an empty cup over at his friend
"And the last time I heard someone in your room?" he asks smirking as Obi Wan glares back at him just at the moment the school bell rang. Anakin took a sip of his coffee as his friend got to his feet
"Time to see what's in store for us" Obi Wan admits leading his friend out of the teacher's lounge to meet their new students.
