The end of all -Part 3

Belda looked very eager to go" Can I come too?"

I shook my head" Absouletly not. There's allready one Jedi master missing and two younglings. We're not chancing the risk of loosing you too."

" but I can fight!" she protested looking from me to Pho

" Who was the master who's missing?" Phobia asked me

" Master Mundi didn't say, but for Obi Wan to be out looking for her I have a guess. And besides, Cin was the temple swordmaster. I pratically learned most everything from sabers from him. If they were able to get him, we're going to have a nasty fight on our hands"

" But.. I have you and my master to protect me!"

Okay my patience was getting a tad thin here so I put it bluntly as i could without scaring her" We're going to be busy, very busy. We might not have time to talk or do anything even kinda fun. You don't want to be around 2 boring people do you?"

" You're not boring!"

" Belda you're not going so that's that and don't even use the whole prophecy bit on me because it's not going to work! You're staying at the temple for your own safety!" Phobia snapped, looking up from her duffel bag.

She glared at Phobia and stomped off to her room slamming the door.

Pho looked up at me " Think I was too harsh with her?"

I shook my head" Dear, she has to learn her place. If you say no then she's got to know you mean no. Period. and it's not like you're trying to exclude her or anything. It IS for her own safety."

She nodded" you're right.. and. .I'm very proud of you.. do you know that? You not only won the tourtament but you've proved what a great husband and father you are and are going to be"

I sat down next to her on the bed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders" how so?"

" Well you won the tourtament, and then when three wishes. .anything you could want. .and you use them for the good of others. Most wouldn't give it a second to wish for money, power and fame.. you know the whole bit"

I grinned" I have all I could ever dream of wanting , right here" I slid a hand onto her forehead" And here" my other hand came to rest on her stomach ." I have a beautiful, kind and loving wife and am going to be a father to two of the most wonderful children in this galaxy. What more could a man ask for?"

She laid her head on my shoulder" Everything and nothing."

" All I did was to make sure I am able to keep these three things to the best of my ability. I am not stupid. I know one day I will loose you. But I don't want it to be form something I could have prevented. That is why I believe the council forbade attachments, because most are not smart enough to realize that."

I looked at the crono." Come on.. We need to go get mis grump and get going.We're expected back before daybreak tomorrow"
