Notes: A while ago, I had an idea for a story, but I couldn't figure out how to start it. I just knew what I wanted in the middle. I wrote that down, then lost all inspiration to write it at all. This is the middle of that story. It's supposed to take place sometime after Star By Star, and I guess that it would be AU now.
Reca looked at the anxious Tahiri, wondering how the fifteen-year-old would handle the news that she had to deliver.
"Tahiri, you're pregnant."
Tahiri's shout was so loud that it could be heard as far away as two bulkhead doors and in the head of every Force-sensitive on board the Errant Venture. "How could that be? I've never had sex!"
Reca waited until the girl calmed down before answering. "Your child is the Chosen One. The one to bring balance to the Force.
"I know that you're wondering what I'm babbling on about, so I'll explain. The Chosen One is an old Jedi prophecy. He would be born of mother and midichlorians, or the Force. In the old Order, everyone, including the Jedi Council, thought that Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One. Either everyone was wrong, or there are two Chosen Ones."
"But...how?" Tahiri asked in a pitifully small and vulnerable voice.
"You told me, that before Anakin Solo died, he had the Force so strongly around himself that he glowed. Now, here's my theory. Anakin knew he was going to die. On some subconscious level, he used to Force to manipulate your reproductive system, impregnating you. He must have known how badly you would grieve, but he knew that having a child would give you a reason to live. He knew that you could handle it."
"But what will his parents think?" Tahiri demanded. "How will they react to a teenager having their dead son's child? I mean, especially now, with Jacen missing and Jaina slipping away more and more everyday."
"I don't know how they'll react," Reca conceded. "You just need to tell them, and don't worry about their reactions. It's not your fault that you're pregnant. As a healer, and your doctor, I'm under a contract of strict confidentiality. I can't tell anyone what's been said in here today. Except for Master Skywalker, and only because of the circumstances surrounding this child's conception. But I'll only tell him if you won't."
"Give me a couple of days," Tahiri told the healer. "I need to let the news sink in a little before I tell anyone. But I will tell Master Skywalker first."
"Don't wait too long to tell him," Reca advised. "If you do, he, and the other Jedi on ship, will be able to sense the baby through the Force. Tell him soon, Tahiri."
Tahiri nodded, slipped down off the exam table, and left the room, Reca watching her receding back.
Reca is a character that I created. She's a Jedi from the old Order, but was frozen in carbonite by Palpatine when he became Emperor. He kept her in his vaults in Mount Tantiss on Wayland as a trophy. I had originally wanted her to be Mara's mother, but she's whatever you want her to be.
I know I won't be finishing this story. But, if anyone wants to finish it, or use Reca, or use this basic story line, please let me know through a review. And, when you post the story, let me know, either by leaving a review here, or by e-mailing me (duckie_710@yahoo.com) the url and title. Thanks!!
