Chapter 17: New Beginnings
During the flight back to Coruscant, Revan kept trying to get a moment alone with Carth. She knew he was avoiding her. Every time she saw him he always had someone with him. So when he went in the refresher to clean up she waited outside the door for him.
As soon as Carth stepped out he saw Revan sitting in a chair. He stood there and stared at the floor. "Moments after this baby was conceived I could feel it", Revan said. I used the force to hide it from Nelian because I was so scared of him finding out. Then I decided it would be best to tell him I was pregnant before he sensed it on his own". Carth looks at her, "I can't be with someone I love when they're pregnant from another man Revan, I just can't", he says as he starts to walk away. Revan runs over to him and stops him from leaving. "Dammit Onasi", Revan says, "you may be the most handsome admiral in the galaxy but you sure aren't the smartest". Carth looks up at Revan, "what do you mean by that"? Carth asks. Revan smiles and kisses him lightly on the cheek. "Do you remember that night we had together in Coruscant"? She asks. Carth nods his head. "In the middle of the night I woke up and felt a spark of life inside me" Revan explains. "I was waiting for the right moment to tell you, and then all hell broke lose. I hid it from Nelian. I knew that if he found out that I was pregnant from you, that he would use all of his powers to kill it. So after we were married I slept with him, and waited a few days before announcing I was pregnant. He just assumed it was his baby. Carth smiles and kisses her. "You know what this means don't you?" Carth asks her. She nods her head, "I do".
The doors opened and in walked Dustil with Mission on his arm. They walked slowly, on a velvet red carpet covered with white flower petals, towards Carth. Mission and Dustil each gave Carth a quick hug and went to their places.
Suddenly the music started to play. Everyone turned their heads towards the doors to see Canderous walking with Revan. When they reached Carth Revan gave Canderous a peck on the cheek and turned to take Carths hands in hers.
They gave each other their vows of love and honor, and were pronounced as man and wife. They kissed passionately, and everybody cheered. As they turned to leave, Carth put his hands on Revans belly. She had told him the night before that it was a boy. They had already picked a name, Jolee Bindo Onasi.
