Chapter 3: Let the truth be known. __________________________________________________________
The pair sat in silence for a while until Olivia looked up into her master's eyes. She was studing his face one last time before he kicked her out.
"I need to go to the healers."
Qui-Gon let out a breth he did not know he was holding in. He stood up and helped his padawan to her feet, realizing that she was getting heavy.
As they walked slowly down the hall Olivia broke the silence.
"Master I'm so very sorry I have kept this from you but I was afraid I would disappoint you." She could feel her eyes fill with tears.
Qui-Gon braced himself, ready for the worst.
"I thought I could keep it from you. Then as time passed I realized this is something that I cannot hide."
The tears were comming freely now and Qui-Gon stopped to wipe them away from her face.
"Dont worry Olivia, whatever it is you can tell me. I will be here for you."
With that statement Olivia fell to her knees and cryed. She felt her master sit down and pull her gently into his arms, rocking her slowly.
"I'm going to have a baby," she said the words so softly she didn'd know if Qui-Gon had heard her or not. She could almost feel his heart stop and breath catch ing his lungs.
"I'm so sorry master."
"Shh. It's alright my padawan, we will get through this together." he reassured her and helped her to her feet.
"We must get you to the healers."
Olivia nodded and let her master help her.
~*~
The healers only confirmed what Qui-Gon and Olivia already knew to be true. She was indeed pregnant, with a little boy.
