Star Wars: One Last Favor

Summary: Obi-Wan's thoughts as he takes baby Luke to his new home. For Star Wars fans with a need to read!
ONE LAST FAVOR
Oh Anakin, why? Why did you make me kill you? I didn't want to, know matter what you think! I cannot keep thought like these out of my mind, so instead I try to think elsewhere, like on the infant that will not be quiet. Luke. Luke Skywalker. Anakin's son. Oh Anakin...
Luke has been crying since he was seperated from his twin sister, Leia. It's been a couple hours now. Only a few more untill we reach his new home. Oh joy,,,
I cannot get my last image of Anakin out of my head: the lava burning his flesh, his screaming, the agony ripping through the Force- I'm interupted by Luke. He is still crying, but my dark thoughts made him howl even louder (if that's possible). What do I expect? He's Force sensitive, no doubt. He could have been a great Jedi, just like his father...
Well, maybe not exactly like his father...
I try to soothe Luke with happy thoughts, like the gardens in the Jedi Temple, or what used to be the Jedi Temple. But he's quiet, at last! I sigh in relief. Peace and quiet..
I've decided I hate Tatooine. I know Jedi shouldn't hate, but I really don't care. All of the other Jedi are dead or hiding. Even the younglings...
No! Happy thoughts Obi-Wan! Don't want this youngling to wake-up untill we reach...
We're there. Luke's new home, with his Uncle and his Aunt. Even though they aren't really his Uncle and Aunt, he will be safe with them. I nod to his "Aunt". She takes the still sleeping Luke out of my arms, and smiles. He wakes up and begins gurgling happily. I quickly leave, unable to fathom the pain of leaving him. He reminds me of his father, through and through. He may be loud, but that's not his fault...
I look up to the skies. The twin suns are already set. Anakin, I think, Wherever you are, I'm doing you one last favor...
