Ahsoka POV

The world was dark. I could breathe, so that was a good thing. My head was spinning, even though I had not opened my eyes yet. I felt detached from my body, like I was floating out in space.

"Ahsoka?" came the distant sound of my husband's voice.

"She's not waking up!" said Skyguy, also mudded.

"Have patience," said Obi-Wan. "She's been through an ordeal."

I rolled my head and moaned, trying to get the mud out of my head so I can wake up and see my friends.

A hand touch mine, and I heard Rex say much clearer, "Come on, Love. Let me see those sapphire eyes."

I looked around to Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Rex. I smiled and said, "Hey boys," but it came out real hoarse.

Anakin got me some fresh water from the pitcher and handed it to me. It was cool and crisp, and I sipped on it happily.

"What happened?"

"Well," said Obi-Wan, "once Palpatine hurt you, chaos erupted. Anakin nearly attacked Palpatine one-on-one as I called in for assistance. Then, once the ships got there I carried you to Rex, and we got Anakin to jump on."

"So Palpatine got away?"

"Yeah," said Anakin. "But we will get him. That is not for you to worry about right now."

"What do you mean? This is huge! I messed up and Palpatine got away! Windu will have my head! I-" I shifted in the sheets and noticed that I had on a sanitary pad.

"I am wearing a sanitary pad," I said looking at them.

All of them looked uncomfortable and they started to look at each other like they did not know what to do.

"Why am I wearing a sanitary pad? I am not on my period," I said.

"Should the nurse explain this?" asked Anakin.

"It will be better coming from us," said Obi-Wan.

"Actually," said Rex, "It would be best coming from me. Can you boys give me a minute?"

"Sure," said Anakin. Both he and Obi-Wan left.

"Rex, what is going on? I'm scared," I said starting to cry. What could be so horrible that he could not tell me in front of Skyguy?

"Honey," he said, sitting on my bed and grabbing my hand. "I love you, and there is nothing our love cannot do. It survived the Clone Wars, years of being separated, and when you died, I thought I died with you. There is nothing we cannot do, together."

"Something is wrong with the baby," I said through my tears.

"Yes, honey. The baby is gone. The lightening of Palpatine stopped its heartbeat. The doctors said it was too quick to do anything about it. That is why you are having your period."

"But it's my baby. We bought a crib for the nursery already. It's due in fifteen weeks."

"I know, baby." He said and then he kissed me on the cheek. "We are going to get through this together."

I stayed in the medical unit unable to move. Unable to do anything but cry about the baby that was stolen from me before I even got to name her. The medical droid gave me a blanket and a pillow so that I could sleep comfortably. I was not in the mood to go back to my room, I was not in the mood to do anything, period. I wanted to stay in the spot where I had my life stolen from me. I turned on my side so I slept opposite from the door, so the light wouldn't disrupt my sleep.

The door opened to my room, and without looking I knew it was either Rex or Anakin coming to check on me. Obi-Wan had come in once to say he was sorry, but then he left me alone. Rex or Anakin came in about every fifteen minutes asking if I was hungry or thirsty or something. From the force presence, I could tell that this was Anakin.

"What is it, Skyguy?" I asked in a tired tone.

"I had a thought, and I wanted to run it by you."

"I'm listening."

"Padme, didn't have a miscarriage, but she died, and did not get to raise her kids. Maybe talking to her would help."

"I'll give you three reasons why that won't work: One, Padme will see Luke and Leia when they die, I will never see the baby, two, Padme died and the kids lived not the other way around, and three, it did not happen because Padme was stupidly trying to do something she should not do."

"Oh Ahsoka, its not your fault," he said, coming into the room

"Yes it is," I sobbed. "You told me not to fight, and I did anyway. And now I don't have a baby."

Anakin came over to the bed, and put a hand on my shoulder. "Ahsoka, when I turned to the dark side, I had a big battle with Obi-Wan where I got hurt. Did he tell you about that?"

"Yeah."

"Anyway, when I awoke up from surgery Palpatine told me that I had killed Padme and by affect Luke and Leia. I never forgave myself until I died and Obi-Wan told me it was a lie. I am telling you the fact that you caused the miscarriae is a lie. You are a warrior, a Jedi, and you were going to take down a dangerous sith, that is what a Jedi does. Hell, that is what the council expected of you."

"Except look where we are," I said defeated. "No Sidious, and no baby."

"We are going to get through this together," he said. Then, he pulled me into a hug, and I just sobbed in his arms.
