She was so small.
Anakin Skywalker gently picked up one of his daughters hands, in his own,
they were tiny, like a dolls.
Leia didn't move, hadn't moved since her collapse, Anakin desperately tried
to think of all the concoctions that droid had but he could not think of
any that would have caused this effect.
Would he lose Leia, like he lost Padmé and his mother and Obi Wan, would
she be a bittersweet memory? And the alliance would crumble Leia was the
backbone of this whole organization Anakin had been among the rebels long
enough to respect them he wanted to help.
He wanted to help his daughter but he could not find her. Leia had fallen
into a coma; Luke had desperately tried to connect with his twin but Leia's
force signature could not be picked up. A couple of times Anakin had probed
Leia's mind, but he hadn't tried very hard, if Luke couldn't find her why
should he?
Leia was numb, like the time she had sat in one place to long and her leg had fallen asleep so when she stood she had toppled over. Now her whole body felt numb. Impatience filled her, she was wasting time in this nowhere place, she needed to be working the alliance needed her, so did Luke and Han "What about your father?" a voice whispered "What about him?" Leia retorted how was it no matter what happened that man could turn any situation into a conversation about him. "He needs you" "What Vader needs is to be locked up for life" Leia was surprised that didn't sound like her, Luke could make the difference between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader.. Could she do that now. Leia tested this new feeling, she believed that a man could reform could a human come from that machine, Anakin must have been good once otherwise someone as wise and Obi Wan Kenobi would not have trusted him and Padmé the elusive spirit of her mother must have had loved him once. Could she?
Leia sighed she didn't like this place it made her think of things which were better left unsaid. She decided that she would trust Anakin she would see and then she would judge him as a man not as Darth Vader "But will you ever call him father?" Leia made no answer
