Ahsoka's POV (13 years later)

The years passed like a blur to me. I couldn't believe it had been 13 years already. The Clone Wars almost seemed like a day ago, and till then, I would wake up to be confused where I was instead of the Jedi fighter cabin.

The Council, let's say, they were turning a blind eye on Anakin and Padme. Or at least some of the members tried to help. Plo Koon suggested giving Anakin two day-offs at weekend if he didn't have missions to go back home to Padme. Mace Windu agreed only if Luke and Leia were to stay at the Jedi Temple for Jedi training. Finally, the Council decided to let the kids stay at the Temple during the day, and go back to Padme at night until they were made Padawans. But when they were made Padawans, they were still allowed to go home at weekends and visiting periods were allowed.

If there were missions, then the schedules would have to be rearranged. The whole family could stay together for vacations if they want. Well, it wasn't exactly the best arrangement, but the Council did their best already, because Mace Windu was still a bit skeptical about Anakin breaking the Code to bits.

Mon Mothma was selected by the Senate to replace Sidious at the Supreme Chancellor, and everything worked fine. Padme kept on working at the Senate as a Senator of Naboo, seeing that she liked her job a lot.

I took on Leia as my Padawan when she turned twelve while Anakin took on Luke. Leia was a complete mini-Padme, with her dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She took on some of Padme's senator temperaments and all of Anakin's fiery hot temper. Let's say we worked very well together and Leia was also eager to learn.

Luke was a mini-Anakin. He took on his dark blonde hair and blue eyes. He took on Anakin's super strong Force powers but his temper mostly resembled Padme's, soft and gentle.

Those two kids were very sweet, and I witnessed most of their childhood. Sometimes when Anakin and Obi-wan were out for missions or when Padme was out for a Senate meeting during the day, I would fulfill my duty as ' Auntie Snips' and babysit them at the Temple. They would call me 'Auntie Snips' and I would call them 'Skygirl' and 'Skyguy Jr'. Both of them thought their names were cool.

Life as a Jedi Knight was harder than I thought. I had to go on tons of solo missions, though sometimes I would still join with Anakin for missions. But ever since we took on new Padawans at the same time, we rarely saw each other. We were expected to train our own Padawan.

One peaceful evening after dinner, I was looking over Leia's homework. Leia was a star student in political and language classes, and sometimes I would joke that she should be a part-time Jedi and part-time Senator.

' As usual, they are all fine,' I smiled at her.

She put down her pen and sighed, ' When will Dad and Luke be back? I miss them both so much. A day without teasing my brother is so dull.'

' They have been on the mission for nearly two weeks already,' I commented. ' They should be back anytime.' Anakin and Luke were dispatched off to Ryloth to capture an entire league of rogue bounty hunters that were basically wreaking havoc and catching Twi'lek slaves. And the league was led by no other than the notoriously cunning Cad Bane himself.

Suddenly, I felt two familiar presences approach closer via the Force, and I told Leia, ' Actually, you know what? They are back.'

She perked up, as she too had felt the Force presences, ' YAY!'

The boys' quarters were next to our quarters, so naturally, we could feel them. Within minutes, Luke popped into our room, grinning widely. He looked rather dirty, seeing as his face and robes was completely covered in dirt and his hairstyle was messed up like a bird's nest. The only thing that looked in place was his Padawan braid.

' Luke!' Leia pulled her twin brother into the room and started hugging him fiercely. ' Thank goodness you are okay.'

' C'mon, Leia,' Luke said. ' It's not like I will die in the mission. Everything went fine! Dad and I managed to release all the slaves that have captured and all of them except Cad Bane are arrested.'

' Cad Bane escaped again?' I groaned.

Luke peeked over his sister's shoulder, ' Hey, Auntie Snips!'

' Yeah, where is Dad?' Leia poked Luke.

' Oh, he went back to our quarters to sleep because he is too tired, but I want to pop over here to see you guys first,' Luke explained. ' Besides, I have something I want to discuss with you ladies.'

Leia and I exchanged glances.

Luke said shyly, ' It is Father's Day tomorrow… I really wish to make something or give something to Dad. What do you think?'

Father's Day.

The date nearly slipped out of my mind. We never actually celebrated Father's Day at all in the past because we were often away on missions during the day. Usually, Leia would just give Anakin a comlink call if she remembered. But this year was different. Coincidentally, we were all present in the Temple.

When I was still a Padawan, Anakin and I didn't really make a point to celebrate the day. I had no Father, and he didn't have one too (hmm the mystery). He was the closest father figure I had, so we would just spend the day training or watch a movie on the Holonet at night.

' Sure, good idea, Luke,' I smiled down at the boy. ' What idea do you have in mind?'

Luke looked down at his mud-spattered boots, ' Uh… not really. That's why I am asking for help.'

Leia sighed dramatically, ' Oh, my dear, good brother. The solution is easy, isn't it? We can make breakfast for him.'

' Breakfast?'

' Great idea, Leia,' I jumped onto the suggestion. ' We can all get up early in the morning, about 6 o clock, pop over to here and make breakfast for everyone. Then in the afternoon, seeing it is the weekend, we can go shopping and have fun in the city with your mother. How is that?'

The kids cried, ' Cool!'

' Okay, breakfast making it shall be,' I reached for my comlink. ' Luke, I think you better get back and have a shower before your dad freaks out. Leia, you should prepare for bed too, seeing that you need to wake up early.'

Luke cheerfully exited the room and Leia went over to the refresher to change into her pajamas.

I started fiddling my comlink and a hologram of Padme appeared. It appeared that she had just got off from a Senate meeting, because her brown hair was styled and sleeked into an elegant hairdo.

' Ahsoka, what a wonderful surprise!' She smiled brilliantly.

' Hello, Padme,' I waved.

' Why are you calling?' she said anxiously. ' Did Leia misbehave or something? And is Anakin and Luke back yet?'

' Yeah, Anakin and Luke are back just minutes ago. But Anakin went directly to bed because he was too tired,' I chuckled. ' And no, Leia didn't misbehave. I am calling to tell you that the kids have a plan for Father's Day tomorrow. They plan to make breakfast for Anakin. Are you free in the afternoon? We can go shopping.'

She beamed, ' Yes of course! That's wonderful! That's rather thoughtful of them. But will they mess around in the kitchen?'

' Oh, of course not. I will supervise them.'

' Great! Thank you for looking after them, Ahsoka.'

' It's nothing. Skygirl and Skyguy Jr are adorable.'

' Ha-ha. See you tomorrow then!'

And she disappeared.

I set down the comlink and started to clear up the table of Leia's pile of essays. After tidying everything, I went to bed.

Next morning at 6, I woke Leia up from bed, and we stumbled to the living room to find Luke sitting at the table waiting for us. He had the light switched on and looked really excited.

' Dad is not awake yet and snoring like a bantha, so we have plenty of time,' He said cheerfully.

We proceeded to the kitchen. Luke made the mixture for the omelet while Leia prepared the porridge with extra blue milk. I diced up fruits because I didn't want them to handle a knife (sure they could handle lightsabers which were more dangerous than knives, but I didn't want to take a risk).

We chatted away merrily while we worked. Sure Luke dropped some eggshells into the batter (I had to pick them away with a fork) and Leia nearly overturned the entire carton of blue milk, but the process was enjoyable and happy.

Afterwards, we proudly surveyed the finishing product. Bowls of steaming porridge decorated with pieces of shuura fruit and dishes of omelets. I even made coffee for Anakin and I, and juice for the two kids. I even saved some of the porridge of shuura fruit for Padme, knowing that she adored the fruit a lot.

We carried the food with ease to Luke's quarters and set them on the table. It was true Anakin was still sleeping, and snoring like a bantha too. I tutted silently. Both Padme and I had asked him to cut his hair, but he let it grow until… He had what the clones called ' Post-Clone Wars hairstyle'. Luke and Leia had asked innocently what was his hairstyle before, and R2D2 promptly displayed a holo picture of his hairstyle during the Clone Wars. We called that the 'Clone Wars hairstyle'. There was also a 'Pre-Clone Wars hairstyle', which he would get so angry when we mentioned it.

' How are we going to wake him?' Leia stared at the sleeping form of her father uncertainly.

' I have this,' I crept up to his side and positioned my face next to his left ear. I screamed, ' SIDIOUS IS HERE!'

' WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?' He screamed in an extremely high pitched voice and jumped out bed, wielding his lightsaber.

Luke and Leia doubled over, laughing their heads off.

Anakin came back to his senses and growled, ' That is not funny, Snips. Now why are you all gathered here? Is there a Council meeting again? I-'

' HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!' Leia shouted and ran to hug him.

' With breakfast too,' Luke added, before joining his sister.

Anakin looked surprised, and stared at me for an explanation.

' The kids want to celebrate Father's Day with you, so I supervised them while they made breakfast for you,' I explained. ' Later, we are going shopping and have fun in the city. Your wife is joining us too.'

His confused expression was replaced with a wide smile, ' Thanks Snips.'

' Don't thank me, thank the kids,' I winked. ' Now go brush your teeth before we eat. We don't want to let the food get cold, do we?'

' Nope!' Luke supplied helpfully.

Looking at the happy family, I couldn't help but thank Daughter silently in my mind. All thanks to her, Anakin and I would be friends forever.

Thanks so much for reading this fic! It was my first fic, and it turned out kind of well ( I hope). Thanks so much for all the reviews and opinions! :)

See you! :D
