POV: Ahsoka Skywalker

Anakin and I walked towards the training room door. I pressed my back against the door and smiled up at him. He held my hips and returned my smile. That had to be the best 'training session' we'd had in quite some time. I brushed his sweaty hair back and he leaned forward to kiss me quickly. "How are you feeling?"

"Better than better," I teased. "Ani, any moment I have alone with you is wonderful. It's even better when there are obstacles on the floor."

He chuckled. "Sorry." I saw the deep blush burning his cheeks as he smiled at me. I shrugged and rested my hands on his shoulders. "So it was still fun?"

"Yes, my love. It's been a while since I've had that much fun."

"I'm not sure if you're teasing me." I smiled and he rolled his eyes. "Don't do that," he said, laughing. "You know how I am about this, Soka."

"I know, I know. You're all insecure and paranoid over nothing. Love, how many times do I have to tell you that you always make me feel great? You don't even have to try." He pressed himself against me and kissed my neck as I continued to speak. "You're my wonderful, loving husband that I'll never be able to get enough of. I love you and everything about you."

He straightened up and smiled at me. "What do you say we try out that new medical bed in the medbay? You know, just to make sure it's stable…"

I giggled and he smiled wider. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" He smirked and I slid my hands across his shoulders, rubbing his neck. "Well, I don't think Cayden will be up yet. We've got time."

He chuckled. "You look tired."

"Hey, I just had the most exhilarating exercise in a few days. Of course I'm tired, silly man."

He raised an eyebrow at me and his smirk became much cuter. "So I am the silly one? I thought it was you, Miss 'oh, I can't get on it, Ani.' You just wanted me to hold you."

I pointed at the training machine he was talking about and he glanced at it. "You try getting on that thing."

"Watch me."

It was a bed that was a bit too high for me to hop onto without using the Force. He, of course, was a little taller than me, so I assumed he wouldn't have a problem. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back to me. "Love you, Ani."

He pressed me against the door a little more so I was flat against it. I was surprised when he grabbed my legs and lifted them. The only thing I could grab onto in time was his shoulders. I giggled before he began to kiss me sweetly.

Without any warning at all, the door slid open and he nearly dropped me. I held onto him tighter and shrieked a little at the sudden motion behind me. Anakin clutched onto me tightly, holding me against him.

Obi-Wan stood there, staring at us in surprise. He glanced at my outfit and Anakin's lack of outfit. The only thing he had on were his pajama pants. "I take it I was interrupting something?"

Anakin and I both blushed simultaneously. He set me down and I pressed my hand against his stomach, smiling at Obi-Wan, dressed in his entire training outfit. "We were… practicing," Anakin mumbled.

"For what? The next generation?"

"We already have another generation," I teased.

"Dear Force," Obi-Wan whispered. In reply, Anakin and I laughed. I looked up at Anakin and he looked down at me.

His eyes widened for a moment before he reached up to my chest and fixed my shirt. My blush got worse as he fixed my outfit. He crouched down in front of me and pulled my shirt down before moving his hands to pull my shorts down a little. He kissed my bare leg slowly before standing up again.

"Is it safe to assume all of these machines have been tainted for your purposes?"

Anakin rubbed the back of his neck before pointing to an awkward machine about five feet from us. "We didn't use that one." We all glanced over at how awkward it looked. "Neither of us could fit into it," Anakin whispered.

I burst into laughter at the look on Obi-Wan's face. "You do realize that is Master Yoda's training machine? Force, I'll just go for a run."

"Oh, hush," I teased. "We cleaned everything off."

"I don't trust the word 'we.' If you said you did, I may believe you a little more."

"Okay, let's go," I said, laughing lightly.

Anakin took my hand and began to lead me out of the training room. "We'll be in the medbay testing the new medical bed if you need us," Anakin called out, a laugh in his tone.

"Oh, for the love of –"

I loved the sound of Anakin's laughter. It made me happier just to know that he was happy. Things hadn't been going so well for him lately, what with Anima possessing him and his nightmares… I looked up at him and saw his blue eyes sparkling. It made me smile.

"What's that look for?"

I snapped back to reality to see him giving me a concerned look. I laughed and he stroked the side of my face. "Ani, I like seeing you happy. That's all. You were worrying me for a while."

"I know I haven't been myself in the last few months, but I'm trying to get back on track."

"Ani, you used to sit on the windowsill in the lounge and stare out at the speeders. You wouldn't talk to anyone for hours. You wouldn't eat… You wouldn't sleep…" He circled his arms around me and I sighed, staring up at him with a sadder expression. "I was so worried that I was going to lose you. You were running off of sleep deprivation and starvation and whatever else-ation and I couldn't watch you suffer anymore without suffering myself."

"I'm better," he whispered. "I promise."

I smiled and he leaned forward, kissing me. "I love you, Anakin."

"I love you, too, Ahsoka."

"Always and forever," we both whispered. He took my hands in his and squeezed them gently.

"What do you say we try to go back to sleep?"

"Only if you carry me."

He rolled his eyes and let go of my hands. He scooped me up into his arms and I giggled uncontrollably. I was always impressed by his strength. It just seemed that he was stronger as of lately. I noticed that he was extremely powerful with the Force now – more so than before – and he sometimes hurt me unintentionally when we made love.

I had a couple of bruises to prove that. He noticed them and asked me where they'd come from, acting shocked and completely hurt when he learned they were from him. He and I talked about the possibility of him being stronger since Anima had resurrected him twice. She was a demon after all…

He rocked me gently as he carried me back to our dorm. "You know what we should do?"

"What?" I asked, finally coming back to reality.

"While – hopefully – Satine and Obi-Wan are out for a bit, we should go somewhere with all of the kids."

"Like where?"

He shrugged as we stopped outside of our dorm. "I don't know. Just somewhere fun and relaxing. The kids can play and we can… play."

I giggled and kissed his chest. "You're adorable when you're trying to hide what you really want to do right now."

He rolled his eyes. "Unfortunately, I believe we ruined Obi-Wan's training session because of what we wanted to do."

I threw my head back and laughed. "He should know by now that we can do it anywhere."

He smirked. "Good point."

I wiggled around in his arms until he set me down. I stared up at his handsome face. "I really do love you," I whispered.

He smiled warmly at me before stroking the side of my face with the back of his hand. "You have no idea how great I feel just knowing that. To hear it from your lips excites me to no end. I feel invincible when you say you love me. I feel like that's all I need to keep going."

I wrapped my arms around him and rubbed his warm back. "If that's all you need to feel like that, then I'll just keep reminding you." I closed my eyes and listened to his heart beating quickly in his chest. I wondered if he could feel mine at this moment. His flesh hand rested on the top of my rear lek and he kissed my montral tips. "My Ani," I whispered.

He chuckled. "I'll always be your Ani."

I pulled back to smirk at him. "You'd better!" I whispered.

"I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't be. I'm too in love with you and you're too in love with me."

"I'm too too in love with you, sweetheart."

"You're beautiful," he whispered, staring into my eyes. His eyes began to mesmerize me until I completely lost all of my senses.

My senses reawakened when I was against the door with my legs wrapped around his waist and his lips moving fiercely against mine. My hands were on his chest, his warm skin burning beneath mine.

After a few moments, I gasped for breath. He did, too, so it wasn't like I'd intentionally pulled away for some other reason. I smiled at him and he smiled before kissing my jaw. "I love you," he whispered.

I tightened my legs' circle around his waist until I could feel his excitement from below. I leaned forward as much as I possibly could until I kissed him. "And I love you."

He rubbed my hips before asking me if I wanted to head into the dorm. "That depends. Do you want to make love or go to sleep?"

"Either works for me," he teased. "Which would you prefer?"

"Let's start out with going to bed and see where that takes us."

He chuckled. "You can't keep your hands off of me, Ahsoka. You've proved that countless times when I've tried to go to sleep. You think I'm the one that craves intense love. It's totally you."

I knew he was teasing me, but it was kind of true. He knew that when I was tired, he was supposed to forget that he even wanted to make love to me in the first place. I, however, pushed him when he was tired until he gave in. I never realized that until now. "I'll let you go to sleep," I whispered.

"Hey," he whispered. "Why the sudden change of excitement? You don't seem happy anymore."

I wiggled out of his arms, setting my feet down on the floor. "Let's just go to bed."

"I didn't want to upset you."

"You didn't."

He grabbed me before I turned around to head into the dorm. "Tell me what did then."

I sighed and faced him completely. He stared at me concernedly. "You remember what you said when we fought earlier?"

"To be honest, no. Every time I get mad at you, I kind of forget what I'm saying. What did I say that's bothering you?"

"You… You asked if I felt like you were controlling me. Ani, do you think I am controlling you?"

"Of course not. Is this because of what I just said?"

"No." He gave me a look and I sighed again. "Yes."

"Sweetheart, I love when you take over in bed. I really do. It's exciting. When I say that you don't let me sleep, I don't mean it in a negative way. I thoroughly enjoy it. If I didn't want you, I wouldn't take you." I smiled and he kissed the side of my mouth. "I don't care how late I stay up. I just want to be with you and feel you and… Well, love you. You're my wife. I'll do anything for you."

He wrapped his arms around me and I smiled, closing my eyes. I kissed his shoulder and sighed happily. "I love you so much right now."
