Chapter 2: Can hide it not longer
After a week of watching his apprentice getting sick Qui-Gon decided to take Olivia to the healers.

"Master I don't need to go to the healers."

"Olivia, you have been sick for a week now. What if you got food poisoning or you have a disease?"

"I don't!" She said raising her voice to her master.

"Then what is it?" As he thought about it a realization hit him.

"Olivia?"

"Yes."

"Are you getting sick on purpose?"

"What?" she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You think I'm bulimic?"

"I'm just going through the possibilities."

"Well to answer your question, no I'm not."

Qui-Gon lowered his head as he realized she wasn't lying and pulled her close to him.

"I'm sorry Olivia. I'm just worried."

She was so uncomfortable now she knew her master would notice. ~*~

The weeks went by and Olivia noticed the horrible truth.

She was pregnant.

She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to go to the healers or a master because she knew somehow it would get to Qui-Gon. And that was the last person she wanted to have know her secret. And if he would find out she would want to tell him herself. Olivia always pondered telling him but backed down every time. She could almost see the look of pain and disgust on her master's face.

But one day when she was about four months along Olivia noticed something else.

She was showing

Almost through her tunic and robe.

During her training lessons with Master Qui-Gon she was extra careful and though she didn't notice, Qui-Gon was going easier on her.

"Olivia will you come here please?"

Her heart dropped to her stomach as she entered the living area, where her master was, waiting.

When she entered the room he looked up at her and smiled, then patted the spot next to him.

She smiled back and went to sit down.

"I talked with the council today," he began a huge smile sill across his face. "They have agreed that you are ready to become a knight. Of course you will need to go on one more mission."

Olivia was shocked at this news. And scared.

Qui-Gon could sense her emotions and held her hand.

"What do you think?"

She was speechless for a few moments before she answered.

"That is all I wish for. To become a knight..but, I'm afraid I cannot.

Qui-Gon's smile left his face and he turned to his now twenty-year-old apprentice.

"Why not?"
