Hot Shot's girl: Same thing friends. I'm sorry but this warning will go on in all chapters and maybe in the sequal . . . yes you heard me right I am planning on doing a sequal to this story . . . if you like this story so far and want me to of course, but I'm not telling you what it's about and all, you'll just have to wait. Well just saying that I hope you enjoy this chapter that I made up from thin air as much as I enjoy writing it :)
"What do you mean you don't remember?" asked Florrel. "You've got to remember something!"
"But I don't," shook Lex.
"Nothing at all?" asked Cortla.
Lex was about to say something as if she remembered, but she then halted herself and shook her head again and said-
"Nope . . . nothing."
"Humans are so strange," wrote Cortla.
"It was like the dream you remember at the moment, but then you forget once you know what happened," said lex.
"Very strange indeed," wrote Gargteal.
"Do you even know where Scar is?" asked Cortla.
Lex was about to say where, but she then remembered that she didn't know. She knew he went somewhere, but where is what she didn't know. So she kept silent.
"Oh you have got to be kinding me!" gasped Florrel spinning on her heels. "She doesn't even know where her own husband is!"
"Well I don't know what he likes to do during the day," shrugged Lex.
"Well you two should know each other through and through!" wrote Florrel.
"Well I don't, I'm sorry," shrugged Lex again.
There was then a silence among them till Florrel decided to communicate again-
"Well at least he'll return to you later on in the day."
"He will?" asked Lex a little afraid of him coming to her again.
"Mhm, they always return to their home after a long day of fighting or chores," wrote Garteal.
"But . . . it's not his home, it's mine," wrote Lex.
"It's both of yours now," wrote Florrel. "Do you humans not live together when married?"
"Well . . . we do, but . . ." started Lex trying to find the right words to write. "We just . . . wait to get a place and not move in all of the sudden. We are a planning race."
"Oh," shook Florrel. "Now wonder why you're inferior."
"Thanks," wrote Lex sarcasticly.
"Your welcome," they giggled.
Lex was glad of their company and, sometimes, helpful advice about things she didn't read about and such. They did have to leave her before the end of the day though for they knew Scar would return soon and that no guests should be in the house during such times. Later on Lex found out that Scar was always off fighting, either training for battle against those who threatened his homeworld, or fighting in those battles. After learning this she feared of him never returning at all and she losing a very good friend and . . . husband.
After two months Lex grew used to the yautja ways and now understood things perfectly clearer. Also the more time she spent with Scar the more she knew him better and why he acted the way he did to certain things or incidents. Scar even began to understand her better as well. He now understood humans better and understood why they did what they did so very much.
Some days Scar would stay home with Lex and allow visitors like Gargteal, Cortla, and Florrel, and on many occasions that came . . . his father/her father-in-law/Eldar. He would come and check up on their marriage and found things right in the places they should be. Scar had followed the laws up to marriage so far and the Eldar wanted to make sure he followed through to the end. He was also glad that Lex willing followed the law and so as long as she did this she would be a fine daughter-in-law just like any other yautja female.
Scar would still train Lex in the way of war, but when she wanted to go out and get things from the markets he would not let her. After the third month he didn't let her do many things she wanted to do. Of course he allowed visits, but her going outside was out of the question and he even stopped his daily training with her. Lex wondered why he did this.
Did he not want her to do anything or what? At that she was clueless. She wanted answers, but so far she couldn't figure him out. She couldn't tell why he wouldn't let her do many things. Was this the way of being a yautja wife?
If that was the case then she would get very bored very easily. She tried asking the girls, but they weren't to sure of Scar's ways either. They always thought he was so quiet and so he was very hard to figure out at times. During this time all feared none would be able to figure why he did what he did.
One day Scar was called to battle and she prepared to go, but before he left their home Lex came and demanded to go, but Scar bid her not to.
"But why can't I?" asked Lex. "I am a warrior am I not? If so then why can't I fight? It is accustomed isn't it?"
Scar just starred at her for a moment then tilted his head and turned to leave.
"Wait!" said Lex following him. "I am going with you whether you like it or not. If I am a warrior then I am to fight!"
As soon as Lex got into 'I can't stand this place anymore' Scar turned and placed his hand on her belly signaling her to stop.
"But why?!" asked Lex. "All I want to know is why!"
Scar slowing turned his gaze to hers and when he did he turned and left her. Lex stood their in the door way just wondering why she couldn't go. She wanted to go. It was the law to go if you were a warrior.
What could keep her home? What 'other' part of the law did she miss. None could tell her but Scar, but at the moment she couldn't tell one thing from the other and she got very frustrated. She wanted to know about things, but what was it?
"I read the law over and over again, but I just don't understand why I am being left out of battles and training," wrote Lex. "I am a warrior and warriors are sapposed to fight right?"
"Well yes, but you are the first female warrior and so it may have changed for you just a bit," wrote Cortla.
"But how?!" asked Lex. "That is all I want to know, that is all!"
"Well part of the law states that if any female yautja become pregnant then they are to stay home till the child is ready to be born," wrote Gargteal. "You could, perhaps, be pregnant Lex."
At that Lex wondered and the more she pondered on this the more she feared it was true. She remembered Scar stopping her from coming with him, or was he stopping her . . . perhaps he was trying to tell her she was with . . . child.
"Lex is there something wrong?" asked Florrel seeing her scared face.
Lex then turned to her friends and wrote-
"When I tried to go to battle with Scar once I asked him why I couldn't go and he placed his hand on my stomach as if to stop me, I thought, but do you think he was trying to tell me . . .?"
"I would have to say so," wrote Florrel. "You said yourself that he communicates with body language and if he wanted to stop you from coming with him you would be bolted to the wall or something."
"No," gasped Lex placing her hand on her face as she began to shake. "No . . . no!"
"Like I said," wrote Florrel. "It does often result in your first and only child."
"Oh look," smiled Cortla. "She's shaking . . . you'd think she's scared."
But when she looked at her two freinds they all starred at her with hard glares.
"Oh . . . she is," said Cortla shuting up.
"W-what am I going to do?" gasped Lex. "I don't know anything about this."
"No one ever does deary," comforted Gargteal patting her on the back. "You should be just fine."
"Yea, you don't even know if you are with child . . . but more or likely you are," smiled Cortla.
"You guys are making me feel so much better," smiled Lex sarcasticly as she rolled her eyes.
And so after talking a while the girls were determined to find out if Lex was indeed with child and so they took her to a doctor where they waited patiently to find out.
"Well . . . is she?" they smiled.
"Yes, she is," said the doctor as he handed them the results.
As Lex looked at them she had, out of nowhere, fainted.
"I exspected that from a human," smiled the doctor.
"Will she be alright doctor?" asked Cortla.
"She should be, but I want to see her every month just incase things go wrong," he said.
"We'll make sure," they said as they picked up their friend and headed back home with her.
After that day when Scar returned and the girls left Lex lay in bed feeling a bit sick from that days 'excitement'. Scar then came and sat by her side and began to run his hand over her belly just starring at her. Lex knew he must have known for a while and so looked at him and asked him-
"Scar . . . am I pregnant?"
Scar looked at her and shook his head to her. Lex turned her head as tears began to show in her eyes. She couldn't help but cry for from what she heard from children they weren't to pleasent having. She feared for her life.
Scar saw this and so turned her head to his and began wipping away her tears. He then put his forhead on hers letting her know that everything was going to be alright. This made Lex smile knowing how much he cared. She then shook her head in agreement as more tears streamed down her sad face.
"Yes," she smiled as they embraced each other to comfort each other. "We'll get through this together . . . somehow."
