Disclaimer: I do not own the Star Wars characters; however, Angeles Dollslayer character is mine.
Angeles Dollslayer had a good life. She was married to Poe Dameron, who ran the piloting school with his friend, General Rex Razerblast. She had served many years as a senator from Naboo. She had a younger brother Ben, her sister-in-law Padme, and her niece and nephew, Leia and Caleb. Angeles and Poe lived in a nice house near the military base. They celebrated ten years of marriage.
However, there was one thing missing in their lives. Angeles thought that due to their busy schedules, she and Poe were having trouble trying to conceive. She wanted to wait until she was older to have a child, and Poe agreed. So they started last year, but were unsuccessful.
They decided to go see a fertility specialist. They went to Dr. Amber Staal, a well know doctor. She did blood work on both Angeles and Poe.
"I have the results of your blood work," Dr. Staal said to them. "I am sorry to have to tell you this. Angeles, you will not be able to conceive a child."
Angeles was devastated by this news. It couldn't be true! She tried to be calm as Poe spoke up.
"Dr. Staal, why do you say that?" He wanted to know why they couldn't have children.
"When I ran the blood work for your wife, I detected a toxin in her body. It was a serum that the Empire used to make their prisoners feel pain," Dr. Staal explained.
Poe's face went pale. Angeles had a blank look on her face. Her biological father, Dr. Skeet Shipshooter, had injected her with the drug to make her feel pain when she was tortured by Vader and Hux.
"The toxin, along with causing the person injected to feel pain, attacks the reproductive system," the doctor added.
"Is there anything that can be done to reverse the effects?" Poe asked, still in shock.
"No, there is nothing that can be done. The effects are immediate from the time of injection."
"So I haven't been able to have a child since seventeen?" Angeles asked, the tears starting to form in her eyes.
"That is correct. I am truly sorry for this news, and for what happened to you years ago."
"Does the toxin attack any other organs?" Angeles nervously asked.
"Thankfully, no. You should be able to live a normal life."
"Except I can't have a baby!" Angeles could no longer hold back her tears.
"May we have a moment?" Poe asked.
"Take as long as you need. Again, I am truly sorry," Dr. Staal told them, before exiting the room. Poe took Angeles in his arms.
"Why?' Angeles cried. "I wanted to give you a baby..."
"I know you did, Angeles," Poe replied, as he tightly embraced her. He didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he held her until she stopped crying.
"Let's go home," Angeles somberly said to her husband.
They arrived home, and Angeles ran immediately to their bedroom. She went into the closet to hide, just like she did when she lost her mother at seven.
"Angeles," Poe said, standing outside the closet.
"I don't want to talk, Poe . I failed you!" she moaned in anguish.
"No, you did not fail me sweetheart..."
"I can't get pregnant! I can't give you a son or a daughter."
"We can go see another doctor, get a second opinion..."
"Why waster our time? You heard the doctor. The toxin has been in my body since I was seventeen. Please, Poe. Just leave me alone."
There was nothing else he could say, so he walked away. Angeles broke down, the sobs overwhelming her. She thought she had left the nightmare of her imprisonment by Vader in the past. Now, it reared its ugly head, and was affecting her present and her future. She felt Poe blamed her for the situation, and she did not fault him for doing so.
Poe sat by himself in the living room. He was heartbroken. He thought he left the guilt behind of not reaching Angeles in time, to spare her from being tortured. Because he was delayed in reaching her, now she couldn't have a baby. Poe thought she blamed him for not being able to conceive, and he did not fault her for doing so.
