Ahsoka felt a small drop of liquid splatter onto her montrals. Then another. And another. She didn't care.

Anakin felt one droplet soak into his tunic, then two, then three, then multiple as the fabric began to cling to his skin as her tears of joy poured out, the withheld emotion finally let free.

"Snips," he whispered hoarsely, voice cracking with emotion.

"Skyguy," she returned weakly, "I missed you."

"You have no idea..." Anakin replied, eyes still blurry with tears. "Those days without you it was unbearable."

The Togruta held her brother close, with him doing the same. They never wanted to let go of each other, in fear that they would become separated again. This time, separated for good.

Luckily, the Force had other plans for them.

There was nothing but bliss between them, surroundings, and other curious shoppers fading into the background. Anakin had nearly forgotten what it was like, having his Snips with him again. He'd forgotten how perfectly her body fit in with his so perfectly when they shared an embrace, like two pieces of a puzzle. But something felt off. The Skywalker desperately probed his mind for a possible solution; the answer was there, he knew it -- yet, it simply disappeared. He hated those moments.

"Anakin?" Ahsoka asked, having sensed his slight moment of frustration. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," he replied, thoughts racing at thousands of miles per hour. What could the answer be? He thought back to the beginning of their encounter -- the dawning realization, the hug, the unity- That's it! he thought to himself. Looking back, he inspected it again, zooming in on the hug. Something had felt awkward! They were no longer like a puzzle's perfect fit- they had been distanced. His eyes widened in realization.

"Snips?" Anakin asked, dazed. "Are you-?"

His unasked question loomed in the air as Ahsoka averted her gaze, blushing intensely.

"Yes... about that," she continued, a hand coming to rest on her lower abdomen, where a small bump could be seen. "I was wondering if you'd be willing to be (C/N/H - character's name here) and my child's godfather-?"

Anakin stared at his old apprentice, the Clone War flashing before his eyes. The innocent fourteen-year-old descending from the gunship, their numerous missions together, her departure-- and now, five years later.

"Ahsoka," he smiled, "I'd love to."

She beamed, for the first time in a long time after that fateful day, half a decade prior. "Thanks for the support. As always."

Anakin chuckled. "That's what friends are for."

And in a moment, it was Skywalker's turn to blush beet red. "Also, hey, Snips?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah?"

"I'd been wondering the same thing-- would you like to be our children's godmother?"

"Children- godmother? Anakin, what?

"I think both you and Obi-Wan have at least suspected something between Senator Amidala and I," he hinted mischievously, a gleam sparkling in his blue eyes.

"Oh, Anakin," Ahsoka sighed. "We've suspected for a long time," she exaggerated, rolling her eyes to emphasize her point. "But I digress, congratulations are always better late than never! I would love to be your children's godmother, as long as they aren't mini-versions of you when they grow up, and by that, I mean the ability to turn any normal situation into trouble."

"You never know," he grinned.

Ahsoka pulled out her holopad. "Here's my number, and my address. Bring Padmé and the kids over soon! We need to catch up for so much lost time."

"Of course, Snips," Anakin smiled, gazing at his old Padawan, who was nearly the same height as him. "I'm proud of you. May the Force Be With You."

A/N: So some of you may have noticed the (C/N/H) part -- because honestly, I had no idea who to put there since personally, I don't ship her with anyone, she's strong, independent, and fierce, so I gave you the freedom to ship whoever you'd like with her :)
Sorry if the middle part was a bit awkward, but for some reason, I've had this scene stuck in my head for a while now but the fluff was really fun to write, especially the flashback part.
