Qui-Gon has left the Jedi order to raise his brother, Amos' child, fourteen-year-old Damien. Along with his mother Myra, to help him. He lives on a ranch and right now is in knee-deep debt trying to keep things running.
Jinn blames himself for the death of his brother who was killed out of revenge against Jinn by Darth Sidious himself.
Jinn has been called back to the temple to receive some very shocking news. How shocking you will see in my first post.
I love Q/O stories and that is the only kind I write. Ewen
Might warn you though, Jinn has people pulling him in every direction. Besides the pressures of credits which he has very little, his brother has put him in debt and he never really could save credits in the Jed order. He is an unhappy man and things go down hill from there.
HE IS NOT THE RATIONAL THINKING JEDI . Qui is just a regular "Joe" trying to keep a roof over his families' head, plus send Damien to the best school credits can buy, as requested by his dying brother.
########## "SECRETS OF A MOTHER LEAD TO SINS OF A FATHER"###########
As soon as Qui-Gon Jinn reached the temple he went straight to the office of his old friend Mace Windu,well Master Windu to those at the temple, but since Qui-Gon was o longer a Jedi, he dropped the master to his name and seldom called Mace, Master. Just didn't seem fitting to him.
He did not leave the Jedi for any reasons that evoked a falling out between he and the order. His brother Amos died almost a year ago. He left a son, Damien to care for.
Jinn became the boy's guardian and felt obligated to raise him, since his mother died years ago and hionly family was Qui-Gon and Jinn's mother Myra. She felt she was too old to raise the child on her own and Qui-Gon had to agree.
Now, without giving a reason Mace asked to see him on the sly. Master Yoda was a way and that was why the meeting was planned for now.
//He seemed mysterious abut something when he "commed" me. I hope this is not a ploy to get me to go on some obscure mission that the Jedi are positive that only I can complete. I have heard that mantra for almost a year now and it grows old. Mace did assureme though before having me come all this way, it was not for a mission.//

Mace embraced Qui-Gon in a bear hug, almost squeezing the breath from the big master.
"I am so glad to see your ugly face, my friend."
"With compliments like that I think I can find ways to stay away from here even longer."
"Oh no you don't. You don't visit us enough. You left the Jedi, not abandoned you friends."
"Well I have been busy on the little ranch-type home I bought for Damien, my mother, and myself to live in."
"Big is it?"
"No have some horses though. I love equestrian exhibitions. Few animals and a garden, nothing more. Oh and a fish bond down back over a small cliff. Nice serene, Damien likes the school."
He is adjusting to his father being gone?"
"Yes as well as you could expect. I think having me there is really helpful too him. You know man to man kinda thing. I can't imagine how he would survive with just mother. Let's quit the chit-chat shall we? So what have you sent for me for?"
The frown that burrowed in Mace's face worried the former master, Qui-Gon."
"What is it Mace is Yoda alright?"
Yoda was the most dear person to him in his life equal to only his mother and then sometimes begrudgingly Jinn thought he cared more for Yoda, although he would never vocally admit it.
"Do you remember Kaylin?"
Jinn frowned.
"Of course."
Kaylin was the love of his life, but their love could go no further, when Jinn chose the Jedi over her. She left him, never to see each other again.
"Mace have you brought me here to torture me. Of course I remember her. How could I not. Why bring her up now. It's water under the bridge. I haven't seen her in about eight years."
"Well, I would say you have not seen her in eight years and about nine months."
Things still did not click for the master.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there was an attack on her city by the Hutts. She worked for the government. Her office was attacked…"
"She is dead is she not and I did not even feel it through the force, her passing."
Jinn hung his head in almost shame for not knowing the only person he ever had passed to the force.
"Come on Qui-Gon, we always knew your bond with her was not as strong as you first thought. Had it been, I doubt you would have stayed a Jedi. No the Jedi was the right calling for you at the time."
Jinn sat in a chair a crossed from the desk Mace had just sat down behind.
"I think she felt I led her on, but I didn't. I always was forthright with her. Sometimes I think it was as much lust as it was love for either of us."
"Well my old friend, that lust has brought you more than you bargained for I am afraid."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she produced a son, A son, Qui-Gon, fathered by you. Before you say anything, I took the liberty to do the proper DNA testing for we had sample of yours here and we procured the boy's for testing.
"A boy. Well the DNA?"
"It proves without at doubt that he is your son. Even down to your rare blood type and enormously high midichlorian count."
"A Jedi, the child is a Jedi?
"The council would want him to be if they knew of the true count of his midichlorians. That is why Yoda is away. He does not wish to answer questions of which he would have to lie about."
"Mace just what are you talking about?"
"We lowered the count on the boy's midichlorians on paper, at least so the council would not know of his potential power, but still they insist on training him as a Jedi."
"Why can't you? I mean I have no place for him.
Mace frowned angrily at Jinn.
"NO place for your son, Jinn have you gone mad? He is your obligation."
"He is an obligation I did not ask for, do not want, and until this very moment did not even know about. Evidently Kaylin did not want to share his life with me. No I have no place in my life for him now. Had I known before, earlier, maybe, but not now."
Mace had never heard of his friend be so cruel and uncaring. He never expected this would be his reaction to finding out he had a son, an eight year ginger-haired blue-eyed boy who mimicked his mothers' looks down to a mole on his face and deep clefted chin.
"Just what would you have us do with him? The only way the council will let him be trained, because of his age, is if you return."
"I won't return here Mace. At least not until Damien has grown up. I can't bring Damien here to raise. Its not a place for a young man of fourteen to be, especially if he is not a force sensitive. I promised my brother on his death bed that I would care for the boy and I don't plan to break that promise."
Mace thought Qui-Gon was being truly irrational about the child.
"He got up and went around to sit on the front of his desk he stretched his long legs and crossed them at the ankles. He looked pensively at his oldest and dearest friend.
"Don't look at me in that manner."
"Just what manner is that?"
"Like you are trying to lay some kind of guilt trip on my head. I won't have it and I won't have the boy."
Jinn was shouting his words and only with the knock at Mace's office door did he realize he had lost his calm.
Mace let the door swing widely as it opened and their stood a shockingly good-looking little boy, ginger color-hair with streaks of what looked like gold threaded through it and matching in color, freckles a crossed his face..
He looked more like a six year old not eight Jinn instantly thought. Jinn noticed that the boy's hair was cut very short and was spiked. Had he a braid, he would resemble the appearance of a Jedi padawan.
"Qui-Gon I would like to introduce you to your son, Obi, Obi-Wan Kenboi. Obi-Wan this is your father Master, well former "Master", Qui-Gon Jinn."
//He looks more like his mother and he must have gotten from her family side, his height. He seems a bit small for his age.//
Jinn would have towered over this one at that age.
The boy stepped forward. As he did, he addressed the man who sat in the chair.
"Mother always said I would get my height later sir. There is no need to think me overly small now. I still have time to grow you know."
Poignantly put thought Mace. Jinn was perplexed though how the boy knew what he thought.
"You knew what I thought?"
"Yes, Mother said that would more than likely happened if I met you. She said we would have this bond thing."
"Then how can I not read yours, young man, if you are so versed in the subject.
"I am not versed in any ways of the Jedi or the force. I only know what my mother told me. She said you Jedi are no good, not worth being around. I have learned to hide and protect my thoughts from other force sensitives. I have run into them before and have never cared for any of them as I am sure I have no need or feelings for you. You can tack the name father to you when referring to me, but I have no real desire to be your son."
Qui-Gon did not care for the insolent way the boy spoke to him and he spoke up about it.
"Pompous and mouthy little brat aren't you?"
