Blue Waters: episode #48 The Births of Paul, Joseph,
Vera, and Wedge Antilles
Previously: The deal is finalized between Samantha and
Bail. Boba Fett saw that Samantha was
pregnant and reported it to Mr. Idiot. Arawn also found out and reported to
Palpatine. Bantha Stephanie had Nelly. Bail changed his last name form Antilles
to Organa. Arawn's wife, Minka had a baby named Dash Corta. He was kidnapped
and dropped off on Clay Hill where Ellen and Brax C. (Remember them) adopted him without knowing who Dash's father is.
They renamed him Darango. Anakin turned 21. He took his nephew, Gryvonbarf, and renamed him Gryvon. Gryvon now is in
the stormtrooper training.
There
is one other thing that needs to be addressed. While I don't' remember
mentioning a character named Ashka in here, I might have. Ashka is Mr. Solo's
sister. (I don't believe I said that in
this story, either.) Mrs. Solo is
Samantha's other best friend…the handmaiden. Anyway, Ashka is married to a guy
named Mr. Zam. A month before Minka had Dash, Ashka gave birth to identical
twin boys named Paul and Joseph. Mr. Zam's real last name is Reynolds, but he
works for the resistant movement (not yet called the rebellion), so he too
changed his last name. When Ashka gave birth to Paul the younger of the two
twins, this is what happened: Mr. Zam
was standing outside of Ashka's room.
"Honey,
can you take the older one. I just had the other one…I can't hold both."
Both
Joseph and Paul were healthy…and they both weighed 6 pounds. So Mr. Zam took
Joseph and let the room. Yes, there had been a doctor there. Ashka sent the doctor out doing something,
and then she grabbed Baby Paul and fled the planet, despite just giving birth.
She had previously singed on with the Empire and this was her getaway. Of course Mr. Zam was mad, but he could
really do nothing except raise Joseph to the bet of his ability. Correon was
also married, and his wife gave birth around that same timeframe. He had
a daughter named Vera. Now I think
we're ready to jump ahead to a month after Dash's birth, which would make it
September. It's September 30 to be
exact, and Bail's wife is due. It's the
morning. Samantha has been staying in the Alderaan palace, so she overhears the
following conversation between Bail and his wife.
His
wife, Mr. Organa because of the name change, says, "Honey, get the doctor…I
think…"
"Oh no…you're starting to go into
contractions!"
He almost bumps into Samantha as he runs to
go contact the doctor. Because of the
events going on at the Alderaan palace, Samantha feels she's out of place…and
is in the way.
"Wait,
Bail, " she says, "I don't' want to be a bother. Would it be all right if I was
out of the way a little…if I went to Daogobah?"
"Fine…I'll arrange Gwydion to come and escort
you there."
"Thank you, but I don't believe that's
necessary. I'll be all right on my own."
"If you say so."
So Samantha leaves for Dagobah to be out of
the way of Bail and Mrs. Organa. After the doctor has arrived, and half an hour
into labor, Mr. Organa and Bail have a son. Bail turns to his wife expectantly.
"You
should name it because it's going to be harder on you to give it up than it is
for me."
Mrs. Organa and Bail had talked about his
issue many times.
"All right then," she says, "I name him Wedge
Organa Antilles. I ask that he keep the last name after adoption."
Wedge
is a healthy 7 1/2 pound baby. Of course they have to keep his birth a
secret…until they can safely exchange Samantha's for Wedge. And Samantha's due in a month.
"I'm sure Samantha will be glad to hear our
good news. They wait about an hour to
give Samantha plenty of time to land and things.
"My wife and I had a boy…we named him
Wedge…"
"That's wonderful, Bail! How's he doing?"
"Fine…he's very healthy…you can come back
now if you want."
"I'd rather not…it's got to be hard having a
newborn…I'll come back tonight, but I want to spend my day here, thinks."
The
connection was closed. But little did Samantha now that someone had followed
her to Dagobah, and his name is Arawn. And little did Arawn know that an orange ship was following him. You
see, when Boba Fett had given the news of Samantha's pregnancy, Fett had
demanded that Mr. Idiot pay up, which eh did. He was then no longer on their role pay…he had moved on to another
assignment. Because of this, the person in the orange ship was Magg
Stupid.
As
Samantha approached Yoda and Obi-wan, Yoda asks, "How many times have you seen
the doctor about your pregnancy?"
"Just when I first found out. I've been too scared to go because I was
afraid there might be something wrong with it, or something might find out and
go after me, as you said."
Yoda says, Go to the doctor now. On this the entire galaxy does depend. I
want to make sure everything's okay. You are a month away from the due date,
correct?' Samantha nods. (The two spies
hear this and follow her as she makes her way to the medical center on Dagobah)
(Remember I told you there was a hospital there.)
Until
next time!
