"I'm sorry Luke, we've looked all over. There were a massive number of take offs, with the festival ending, and so we can't even trace her that way. We'll keep looking though Luke. We'll find her."
"Thanks mom." Luke smiled slightly, rocking Hal gently. Hal stared up at him, tears in his clear blue eyes. Luke stared back, trying to put the little boy to sleep, since the night before he'd been crying the whole night. Luke had tried everything, rocking him, feeding him, changing him, asking Leia to rock him, all the way to singing to him, but the only thing that had worked was crying with him. Eventually, the two of them had fallen asleep on the couch, red eyed.
"Luke, why don't you go get some rest, I'll watch Hal." She offered.
"No, I'll be alright." He whispered. Hal cooed gently and wrinkled his nose. Luke smiled a bit and kissed his small forehead. "We'll find your mommy little one, I promise."
Crouched in a small corner, Mara stifled another moan. Even with the Force techniques she could use, the pain from the birth still plagued her body. Not that she didn't match with all the other moaning refugees on the small ship. This was the third ship she'd been on today, all playing different roles to avoid detection. Her next stop was her Sanctuary Planet, where she'd be able to recover, and form a new identity to get a job. Once she had a job, a new life, she'd be able to forget everything that had happened. Though, she did miss the feeling of Hal within her, and of Luke holding her close.
Staring at her hands, she tried to will away the thoughts of her son and husband, probably searching the galaxy for her. She wanted to tell them that she had to go, but there were no words. Luke would have only held onto her tighter, and she wouldn't have been able to escape. She desperately needed to escape, her every molecule feeling stifled by the bounds of marriage and motherhood. She would go back, one day, and apologize for everything to her little son, to her husband, but…she wasn't meant to be a mother and wife. She was meant to be a free spirit, alone and independent. Luke…Luke couldn't understand this.
She would start her new life on her Sanctuary World, and one day she would make amends. She just hoped that Luke would forgive her and understand.
Leaning back on the bulkhead, Mara closed her eyes and willed herself not to feel the pain. The pain of her abdomen, and the pain of her heart.
A/N: Okay, it's a short part. I know, they'll get longer, I just thought this part ought to have its own bit, cause its pretty important. So, I hope you enjoyed. Tomorrow I wont be able to post (I won tickets to the Star Wars Date Party from my local radio station and so I'm heading out), but I will post a longer part later. These next few weeks will be a bit hectic, but I'm sorry!!
