Blue
Waters: episode #46 The Deal:
Samantha's hardest decision
Previously: Samantha recorded a message for Obi-wan and
Yoda, and then she personally goes there to Dagobah to tell them of Anakin's
strange behavior and the fact that she's pregnant.
"But Anakin knows where you are. He expects me to be here."
Bail speaks up, 'you can stays on Alderaan
for awhile until you find out what's involved with your husband."
She
smiles, "Thanks, I'd appreciate that greatly."
I'm going to do another time jump here. This
will be the final part of the final even to Blue Waters, but first IS need to
mention a couple things that take place in the in-between time. One thing I forgot to mention (I'm pretty
sure) is that Palpatine had gotten his wife pregnant again. I'm going to have them have their baby. Let's say right after they had Ursula, she
got pregnant again. A month later (now March), Anakin's job with Palpatine ahs
become clear-cut to everyone. Little by
little, as Anakin's dark training continues, he becomes caught up in this idea
of power. He has begun to help the
Emperor in the destruction of the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan and Yoda have gotten wind of this news and have requested
that Samantha meet with them. As
Soon As Possible (ASAP). For this reason, Samantha and Bail travel to Dagobah.
Samantha says, "I understand you wanted to
see me. Does this concern Anakin? Any
news about him."
Obi-wan
says, "Unfortunately, yes. Please sit
down."
She does.
Yoda asks, "Have you heard of Darth Vader?"
She
shakes her head, puzzled.
Yoda nods, "Figures, not much of the at news
on Alderaan since you haven't been around Jedi. Palpatine has a new apprentice
named Darth Vader."
"And it's Anakin?" she asks.
Yoda and Obi-wan both nod. Samantha turns away.
"Thank
you for telling me…I didn't know."
Obi-Wan adds in, "and because of this, you
are in great danger," he says this while focusing on her stomach.
It's
not noticeable that she's pregnant yet because she's one month pregnant…you
might be able to tell a little if she wore something really form fitting, but
even yet it wouldn't have been that noticeable.
Yoda
says, "Your child, if it has a strong Force, which I'm almost sure it will, is
the galaxy's only hope. With Anakin working under Palpatine, any attack on them
would be useless…no on has as strong a Force as Anakin…except if your child
does, and it probably will. But there is another matter with your child. Since
we don't know how involved Anakin was with Palpatine before your wedding,
before your pregnancy, there is another possibility depending on if your child
is male or female. If it's a boy and
Anakin had been involved with Palpatine…used Dark Force powers, then something
might happen to your child. It'd be a reaction form Anakin using the Dark
Force.'
Samantha started at Yoda.
"What exactly do you mean…something might
happen to a male child."
"Something physically wrong with it…this
thing could be anything, and depending on how involved he was depends on how
serious it would be. Like if he got you
pregnant now, if it was male, it would almost certainly die. Probably a bunch
of organs would be messed up."
Samantha
starts to cry.
Obi-wan
says, "I'm sure it'll be all right. And if there's anything wrong with your
child, we'll try our best to make sure it stays alive. After all, your child has a destiny…it must
free the galaxy, if there is ever to be any hope. You must understand that this child is our only hope. It's
full potential will be to fee the galaxy. It, instead of Anakin may be the
chosen One…the one who will bring balance to the Force. Your child is going to
be extremely important to the galaxy. Please understand, we'll do our
best to ensure that it survives."
Samantha starts at both Obi-Wan and Yoda
before she makes her next statement, "IF the entire galaxy depends on this,
then a life of secrecy is impossible for this child as it's life would be with
me. Nothing will be accomplished if on
all this this depends. Like Shmi, I'm
going to have to make the hardest decision a mother could make, I'd have to
give it up."
Obi-Wan asks, "You'd give up your child?"
"I'd have to…there is no other way. The
child would constantly be in danger, and it'd have no way of reaching it's full
potential like that. Yes, I'd give it up for adoption."
"Very strong you are," says Yoda, "but it
cannot be adoption. It would be too
risky to give it up to just anyone. It
would have to be someone that knew about it…"
Bail
who has been silent up until now speaks up, "I could help you out there. Now this isn't going to be easy for me
either…but who has this been easy on? For the galaxy, I'd give up my own child in exchange for yours,
Samantha. I'll take care of it and raise it, plus you'd know it was in good
hands. I'll give up my own child for
adoption."
"Bail, I'd hate for you to…"
"Samantha, there's no other way."
She
runs up to hug him.
"Thank
you, Bail!"
Until
next time!
