It was good to hear her laugh, and it brightened his smile even more. He hoped to hear that much more in their future.
“I wouldn’t know what you’re talking about, Tsabin Kenobi,” he said back. It was said merrily, though it was still strange to call her that. To him she would always be Padme. He was at least starting to get used to it.
With that he put some distance between them again.
“I suppose I should get back to work. The vaporators are in good hands.”
Turning, Ben walked back towards the house where he would get back up on the roof and finish replacing it. It wasn’t long after that he did what he said he would do. Taking the beaten up old speeder they had bought into town to pick up a few things. He was back just as it started to get dark. The clouds having passed through quickly and revealing a clear sky just as the first stars began to appear.
It felt strange to be called Tsabin, but there was no other name that meant as much to her, and so few people knew Sabé by that name that it wouldn't spark any association. And, if by some unfortunate luck they did run into someone who knew her dear friend, a family connection was an easy enough tale to spin.
Padmé finished adjusting the other vaporators before returning to the house, where she found two wide awake hungry babies in need of attention. It wasn't until they were finally both settled that she put the bread into the oven, the dough a bit more moist than she would have liked but risen enough after an afternoon of proving. She was selecting other ingredients for their dinner when she heard the speeder approach.
"Come on, Leia, let's go see what's he been up to," she murmured to the baby held snug against her in a sling made of cloth. The curious little girl was presently watching her mother with rapt attention while her twin brother gurgled up at the mobile. Moving to the door, Padmé opened it and stepped outside into the dusk, calling, "We came to see what you've brought us."
He was already standing beside the speeder and pulling a wrapped bundle from it when Padme emerged with little Leia. A warm smile on his face as he took the parcel in his arms and crossed the gravely ground towards them.
“Curious, are you?”
A light teasing in his voice as he came up to them, reaching out to gently stroke the baby’s cheek before leaning down to kiss her forehead. On his way back up he also offered Padme a chaste yet affectionate peck on her cheek as well.
“Come along then. I have something for everyone.”
Obi-Wan then moved into the house, taking the bundle with him and placing it on the table where he began to unwrap it.
