Chapter 25

Qui-Gon was roughly moved into the kitchen and forced to sit on the floor against one wall before his legs were cuffed together.

"It's not that I don't trust you Master," Xanatos said as he watched the treatment from the doorway, "but I really don't trust you." He gave another signal to the guard and an electrojabber was swung at his legs, rendering them completely useless, well at least for the next hour.

"I want to see Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon requested with his usual calm.

"Of course you do Master, and I think that a family reunion is long over due. Although, you aren't married are you so your not really family are you, so many be we will have to arrange for you son to make an entrance, hum? Calsun, bring the others in here, we wouldn't want to keep the lovers apart for any longer then is necessary now would we?"

Calsun smirked and waved for is comrades to follow him.

A few minutes later they returned with Garen and Terrian. Calsun approached Xanatos.

"You might want to come and see this, I don't think the boy's in very good shape, there's blood and gunk everywhere."

Xanatos snarled quietly but then smirked at Qui-Gon and ordered all but Calsun to watch the hostages while he went to check on Obi-Wan.

He stalked down the hall, furious that his orders had not been carried out, that he had to do them himself. When he reached the room, he slammed the door open and stormed in. True to Calsun word the bed was covered in blood and some other bodily fluids and Obi-wan was lying in the centre of the mess equally bloody and unconscious.

"Just a moment Ma'am," One of the younger officers ran after Sara and Sandra, "if neither of you are to severely injured we have a few questions for you."

"Well we…"

Sara interrupted her daughter, "We will help you in any way we can Officer. We just want our Ben back in one piece." She put a comforting arm around her daughter's shoulders and led her back towards the command tent.

"Mrs Kenobi, Miss Kenobi. I am Senior Commander Fortren" the commanding officer greeted, "I'm glad you got out safely."

"Thank you Senior Commander, but I would feel much better if my sons were out here also," Sara prodded.

"Yes, we would all feel much better if this had not occurred I'm sure,"

"I am especially concerned for my eldest, he is pregnant."

"Yes, we are aware of that and we are doing all we can to get him out of there before he or the baby are harmed, considering that the your husband was released because he was injured and your son was not, we are hoping that that means that he is not injured or in labour." Fortren tried to reassure them.

"Well actually…" Sandra started but Fortren continued as if she hadn't spoken.

"We have a plan that will hopefully save both of your sons; however we need to know a few things first about the terrorists first."

"Of course we will help in anyway that we can," Sara assured him, "won't we Sandra," she added, still holding her daughter tightly.

Sandra opened her mouth to reply but was again ignored.

"Thank you," he paused momentarily to wave Clee Rhara over, "Firstly we need to know are the guard all humanoid?"

"As far as we know, I didn't see anything which would say otherwise."

"Good, then the gas should work?" Fortren asked Clee.

"Yes, it should effect all of them, however it would be wise to wait as long as safe before entering the building, Jedi do have the ability to hold their breath for long periods and are learned in tactics to keep toxins from effecting them for sort periods in small amounts."

"We will take that under advisement."

"But what about the baby, couldn't that harm the baby?" Sara asked.

Sandra gave a huge sigh and moved away from the group, not bothering to try and interrupt again; she moved to a box nearby and started to take her coat off.

"Yes there is a chance that the baby could be harmed which brings us to our next question, are you absolutely positive that the baby has not been born? If there is even the slightest chance then we will have to find another plan. I will not approve it is any of the hostages could be killed."

"I can't be positive, I have not seen him since this morning, but I am sure I would have heard him if he had, even a Jedi would not be able to stay silent through child birth I'm sure, but Sandra was with him she would know for sure. Sandra? Sandra!" she was surprise to find that her daughter was no longer next to her.

They all looked around the tent for her, and they found her standing at the edge of the tent, with the answer to their question.

On the floor next to her was the large coat that belonged to her father, and one of her mother's larger flat bottomed handbags, which she had apparently been hiding under the coat.

In her arms she held a bundle of slightly bloody sheets and a tiny, baby only an hour or so old.

Sorry this has been so long coming and is so short, as I said before I got stuck on the last and cut it short, but I was still stuck, then Uni and exams got in the way. But I got a lot of sudden inspiration while I was out walking today and hopefully I will be able to update a bit more now that it is the summer holidays. I will try and write another chapter tonight and maybe get it up tomorrow.

Fingers Crossed.
