Chitari Renn began her usual day, pretty much the same day she had done since Maya was one year old. She woke up her little four-year-old daughter who had her mothers eyes and face, but almost fully her fathers personality.
"Maya, wake up sweetheart," she could understand why the poor girl didn't want to get up. Maya had the flu and had been up until two in the morning throwing up, and it was only five a.m. now.
"Go away Mommy, I'm sick."
"Maya, sweetheart, you have to go to Aunty Mission's house." Chitari had told her daughter that Mission, Bastila and Juhani were her aunts and that Jolee and Canderous, who was now Mandalore, were her uncles. Chitari hadn't even mentioned Carth; she didn't want her daughter to know about him.
"I don't want to go today," Maya whined groggily, "I'm too tired."
"Up we get," Chitari picked her daughter up and set her on the floor. "You don't want Mommy to be late, do you?"
Maya shook her head a little. "I do'wanna go."
Chitari went over to her daughter's closet, "It's no fun, is it? Oh well, you and Aunty Mission can throw up together." She pulled out a little pink shirt and a pair of white pants and handed them to her daughter. "Get dressed: Aunty Mission will be expecting us then you can go back to sleep."
Maya stood up and pushed her long wavy brown hair out of her eyes and got dressed tiredly.
"Maya? Please try not to stain those pants too," Chitari called from the kitchen, where she was busy making a light breakfast. She went to the refrigerator and got out the butter and then went back to the toaster oven and opened it, pulling out light brown toast and set it on a plate.
Chitari got Maya a glass of water and a vitamin for her flu and went back over to the table. These were the days when she wished she would just tell Maya and use the Force again. Maya didn't know that her mother was Revan; she didn't even know that her mother was a Jedi.
Chitari looked at the door and saw that Maya wasn't there. She needed to exercise her Force powers soon. She hadn't used them in two weeks and that wasn't a good thing. She didn't want to lose her connection; she didn't know if you would ever fully lose your connection though.
She glanced at the door again from where she was standing at the table and waved her hand to get the buttered toast. It floated over to where she was and she took it out of mid-air and set it on the table.
"Maya! Sweetheart, breakfast is ready," Chitari called.
Maya wandered into the kitchen and sat at the table. Toast settled her stomach and the vitamin would help keep her food down. Maya took a little bite out of the toast as Chitari went into the refresher and brushed out her own hair. Chitari pulled her long, wavy blonde hair into a bun and fixed her clothes.
Chitari walked back into the kitchen and kissed her daughter's head. "How are you feeling, sweetheart?" she asked the little girl.
"Icky," Maya replied.
"That's not good," Chitari picked her daughter up and went over to the front hall. "Shoes on now." Chitari pulled on her boots as her daughter pulled on her own little boots.
"All done," Maya smiled.
"Look at your hair!" Chitari exclaimed and she covered her mouth in fake shock.
"Oh, no!" Maya ran to the bathroom and grabbed the brush, then ran back to her mother and sat on the floor. Chitari chuckled and kneeled down to brush her daughter's hair.
They were about to leave when there was a knock on the door.
"Why in the galaxy would somebody be here this early?" Chitari asked.
Chitari opened the door and felt her mouth go dry. There, standing on her newly built porch, was a man who she had never expected to see again.
A tall, handsome man who had helped her through everything until after the Star Forge when the Republic asked him to go on another mission without her.
There, standing in front of her, was Carth Onasi.
