Anakin lazily strokes the smooth curve of Skye's back, and she shivers in the early morning chill. He plants a light kiss on the swell of her breast, and she turns over and kisses him deeply on the lips. For a moment, he thinks about performing a repeat of last night, but then remembers his duties, and settles for a few heated kisses instead. Finally, they break apart, and Anakin lets her rest her head on his bare chest. Her legs are tangled up in the blankets, and he lets his eyes take in her still form appreciatively. His nude lower half is covered by the thin sheet they had slept under once they had finally fallen asleep last night, and their clothes are still scattered where they fell. He brushes a few strands of hair away from Skye's face, and she yawns and stretches. "I love you," she whispers in his ear, before slipping out of bed, and walking toward the window. She stands there, her naked form illuminated beautifully in the sunlight for several breathtaking minutes. But then, abruptly, the sun is gone, masked by clouds, and Skye moves away. She quietly puts on her underclothes, pants, and tunic, and starts toward the kitchen. On her way, she passes in front of the calendar on the holoscreen by the table, but then, she freezes. She stares at the date, and Anakin is reminded of the time she put the dot on the calendar. Two cycles ago. He still has no idea what it means, but apparently Skye does. He starts to dress, all the while consciously meditating on what the spot could possibly mean. "Anakin..." he is stopped in his meanderings by the seriousness of her tone. "Skye...?" she looks at the calendar again, and curses violently. "Nothing. I'm going to the med bay." He crosses the apartment swiftly, and wraps his arms around her waist from behind. "Skye, what's wrong? Do you feel sick?" her face twists, and she pulls away from his embrace. "I need... to go see a friend. I probably won't be long, and I'll come back here when I'm done. Will you be here?" he shakes his head, still fearing for Skye's health and safety, and answers with only half of his attention, "I have to see the council about what happened on my last mission, but I should be done fairly soon as well." She nods, throws her cloak over her shoulders, and is gone before Anakin can kiss her goodbye.
