12 Hours Later
Padme was on pins and needles awaiting the news on her husband's operation. A droid would come out every so often to update her, and it still was making her nervous as to the fact that her Anakin could come out of there, or possibly die on the operating table.
Granted that everyone was there for her, she just wished that Brian was more supportive of what was happening now. Instead, he decided to get something to eat and then practice more with his saber. It was frustrating for her knowing that her son was doing something else instead of being here to hear whether or not his father was going to be alright or not. The same droid that kept her updated had come out again, and Padme dreaded to hear what it was going to say now.
"Mrs. Skywalker, I have news on your husband's condition." It told her in a flat voice.
"Yes, what is it? I can't bear to wait any longer." She told the droid with fear in her tone.
"It appears that your husband has…"
In another part of the Facility
Brian was meditating for a while after practicing with his saber. He wanted to be with his mother, but with everyone else there, he figured that there was no need for him to be there. Granted that Luke and Leia, whom he was not crazy about her, where there to be there in case anything should happen to their father.
He still could not get use to the fact that Darth Vader, aka Anakin Skywalker, was going to be healed soon. He wished that there was a father figure in his life. Leia had Bail Organa while Luke had Owen Lars, his step-uncle since their Grandmother had married Cliegg Lars many years ago. He wondered what she was like before hearing how she had died. If she had lived, she would have most likely been spoiling them very much when they would have visited her on Tattoonie.
He then felt a great rush of relief in the Force for the operation must have been successful now! He felt his mother's joy flowing through the Force along with everyone that was there. He then heard a knock on the door, and saw Han come in. He smiled at Brian as he came in.
"Hey kid, heard your old man made it through. He's going to be fine now." Han said to him.
"Yeah, well don't mind me if you don't see me jumping up and down for joy right now. I'm not in the 'Happy Zone' as you can see." Brian said to Han in a sarcastic voice.
"Listen kid, just because you don't like your father, that doesn't mean you have to be a downer for your mother. She was hoping that you would have been there for her. Granted that she had everyone there supporting her, but she wanted you there as well." Han fired back at Brian.
Brian knew that Han was right, and conceded to him. Brian left with Han to go to his mother, and to hear that his father was going to be fine. Brian then thought he felt a disturbance in the Force that was familiar to him, but could not place. He shook his head and went along with Han to be with his mother.
Cloning Rooms
Taun We was checking on the progress on the clones that the Emperor wanted. He saw that they were growing in the accelerated rate that the Emperor had told Taun We later on. They were near maturing, and would then be sent to the Emperor for his personal training.
Taun We knew that if things didn't work with the clones, then they would have to start over and that would not please the Emperor at all! For he was not the one that you would report on your failure to, for he would punish you in the most horrific ways that he could think of. One would rather die and get it over with before facing your disappointments to him!
Taun We saw that the eyes of the clones were opening, and the color was yellow like the Emperor's. This would please him very much for the time being. Once they were taught how to walk and talk, they would then be sent to Imperial Center to meet with the Emperor and begin their training in the ways of the Sith and continue keeping the Sith in power forever!
