Last chapter was cliffy wasn't it? Here's another update for you.
Anakin's POV
Ahsoka was in a coma. She had three broken ribs, a broken arm, and a fractured leg. Her injuries are fatal and could kill her. If she doesn't wake up from her coma by tomorrow, it means she won't be able to breath on her own and we'll have to cut off her life support. I knew the baby was gone. I didn't need a medical droid to tell me that. Obi-Wan and Satine came in.
"How is she?"
"She's stable, but she might not make it. If she doesn't wake up by tomorrow morning, they'll cut off her life support."
"And the baby?"
"I know it's gone. Ahsoka has broken ribs. The baby couldn't survive that."
"I'm sorry."
"I really hope she wakes up."
"I do too."
"We'll leave you alone. Give you some time." They left. I stayed at Ahsoka's side, holding her hand. I prayed to the Force that she wakes up. I can't lose her. I've lost too many people in my life. First Qui-Gon, then my mother, then Padme. I can't lose Ahsoka. I just can't.
"Ahsoka, I don't know if you can hear me, but I want you to make it through this. I love you and I don't want to lose you. You mean so much to me. Please, wake up or give me a sign that you hear me." Nothing happened. I kissed her hand and held it against my cheek. I felt a slight moment. I looked at her. She was still unconscious. "Ahsoka?"
Her finger moved. She could hear me. That was a good sign.
"Ahsoka, can you open your eyes? Move your finger once for yes, twice for no." She moved her finger twice. "Do you think you'll be able to wake up at all?"
She moved her finger once. "You could, just not now." She moved her finger once.
"It's good that you're communcating in a way. I really hope you'll wake up by tomorrow. If not... well, you know."
Obi-Wan's POV
"I hope Ahsoka wakes up. She's too important to Anakin."
"Aren't you worried about her?"
"Of course I am. Ahsoka's like a daugther to me. I don't want her to die. We all know Anakin doesn't either. He's gone through enough loss."
"What do you mean?"
"Anakin's lost a lot of people in his life that he cared about. There was Master Qui-Gon, his mother, and Padme."
"Padme? He had a relationship with her?"
"No, but they were close friends. She was with Qui-Gon and me when we found him on Tatooine."
"He's been through so much. I really hope she pulls through. I'm afraid he'll go crazy if he loses her."
"I am too. I know how much he loves her."
"I do as well. If she doesn't wake up, his world will go dark."
"Let's hope that doesn't happen."
The next day
Anakin's POV
I stayed at Ahsoka's side, never leaving for a second. All night, I tried my hardest to stay awake, but that failed me. I feel asleep a few hours later. I woke up this morning to a medical droid poking me.
"Sir? Sir?" I sat up and remembered where I was. I looked down to see Ahsoka still unconscious. She didn't wake up. "Sir, it is morning. We have to take her off the life support. I am sorry. She did not make the deadline."
I took Ahsoka's hand and held it close to my heart. I couldn't let her go. I can't lose her.
"Ahsoka, wake up. Please, baby, wake up." She didn't move. Even her fingers stayed still. I started to cry. I was losing the one woman in the world I had left that I loved. I knew there was no way. I wanted to think there was, but there wasn't. I have to let her go. I turned to the droid. "Okay. Do it."
The droid walked over to the machine and turned it off. Ahsoka's heartbeat continued for a few seconds, then stopped. There was no sound in the room, but Ahsoka's heart line in a steady long beep. The droid left. I sat in the bed with Ahsoka. I pulled her into my arms and held her close. She was gone. My only love is gone. I slowly traced my finger across her beautiful face features. The white marks that made up her eye brows, her soft eyelids, down her flushed cheek, to her perfect grey lips. She was perfect in everyway and now she's gone. Obi-Wan and Satine came in.
"Anakin, how is she?" I looked at them with my eyes full of tears. I know they knew what happened. Satine gasped and started crying into Obi-Wan's shoulder. He held her and trying to comfort her. I could see in his face he was trying to hold back some tears. I just sat there, holding my beautiful, dead lover.
"She was too young. She had too much to live for. She was having a baby. And now... she's gone. I am going to hunt down whoever did this and make them pay for what they did."
"Anakin, you're speaking out of anger. You need to calm down."
"Calm down? Ahsoka is dead, Obi-Wan and you want me to calm down? Would you calm down if this mission was a success for them and they kill the duchess?" He said nothing and held Satine closer. "Exactly."
I looked back down to Ahsoka in my arms. I couldn't stop the tears that fell from my eyes. I didn't care. My most beloved is gone and I couldn't save her. The room was quiet except for the long beep of the machine. I held her face close to mine and closed my eyes. A different sound filled the room. A beep, beep, beep. I looked up at the heart monitor and saw Ahsoka's slow heart beat. I looked down at her and saw her chest rise and fall. She was alive! I looked at her face and saw her eyes slowly start to open. I was speechless. Her eyes focused on me. She spoke in a weak voice.
"I told you I would wake up." I smiled and hugged her tightly. I pulled her face to mine and kissed her like I've never kissed her before. Satine came over and hugged her.
"I am so glad you're alive."
"Me too." She turned to me. "Anakin, Padme says 'hi'."
"You talked to Padme." She nodded. "Who else did you see?"
"Your mother. She says you should wash your hair more." I chuckled at her. That sounded like my mother. She's always telling me to wash my hair. "And Qui-Gon, he says you need to better control your anger. You don't need to be a hothead all the time."
"That sounds about right." I looked in her eyes. "I love you, Ahsoka."
"I love you too, Anakin."
I bet I really messed with your heads on this one. Seriously, for all you people who thought I was going to kill Ahsoka, once again, you crazy. I told ya'll once already that i would never kill her. She's my girl. I'm just doing what George Lucas does and mess with ya. R&R.
