So enough . Enjoy

In the edge of Darkness
is the edge of Blackness.

A lone man
lies on that edge.
Tired of the battle.

He sleeps
without the knowing of a tomorrow.

Not knowing about today anymore.

He ceases for now.

A battle was won
Results will be enter in
later.

Now
the sleep.

Another morning reaches Coruscant's sky. Alarm goes off and one woman's life is switch to another course.

Padme gets up, takes another look in the mirror at her belly. Noting it is getting more rounder, "Seven month and now you are really starting to show. Can't hide it much longer. Guess I better go back to Naboo" Padme wincing in remembering an argument with Anakin. " Damn him"

Later you're eating breakfast and looking over the day's list. Adding, to send another message to Anakin. But somebody enters the apartment. "It's not Anakin." Padme making a face.

"Mistress"

" Yes Cora"

"It's Obi-Wan. Here to see you"

"Now what did he do? Hopefully it's a sudden mission and sent Obi to break the news." Padme thought, checking herself in the mirror.

Jedi is supposed to look calm but Obi does not care anymore. He shifts back and forth. Images of Anakin not helping either.

"Good Morning Obi-Wan. What brings you out so early? Anakin claims you are not a morning person" Padme joked.

"Padme I'm sorry to have to tell you this. But Anakin has fallen ill."Obi-Wan said and looks down, not wanting to see her face.

"Ill? What's wrong? Obi-Wan how bad is it. Tell me please!"

"We're not sure what's going on. He was found on a balcony last night. He was convulsing and was having trouble breathing. They took him to the Healer's Quarters. Obi-Wan stops, "tell her the truth" and told her. " His heart did stop but they were able to resuscitate him. I'm sorry to tell you this"

"No don't take Ani away from me. I can't raise this baby alone. Oh why didn't listen to Anakin" Then Padme felt faintish, she started for the couch.

"Padme, let me help you. Obi-Wan, snapping out his fog, as he helps her down. He realize something. She is pregnant. "I'll deal with that later." Watching a tear forming a line down her face.

"How is he this morning?"

"I don't know, they were examining him when I left." Obi-Wan trying stay positive. "I felt I had tell you soon as I could"

Padme turns to the window and watched the speeders and all the other flying objects.

"Can I see him please?"

Obi-Wan just stared ahead at the blue bowl. Only Jedi in the Temple.

"I'll take you but I should warn you. I'm technical not allow to." Obi-Wan said and adding. " However you might be his only hope. Anakin is in really bad shape.

"Thank You Obi-Wan" Padme getting up and calling Cora "Help me change to something else, Please.

Healer Naporta, a healer for 34 years, has seen nothing like this. Anakin was down at her wing last week. He was fixing one the droids, telling his wild stories and laughing. Now he is her patient and now she must tell the council what happened to him. Before she goes, she stands before him. When will she stand before his burning pyre?

"Report Healer Naporta" Yoda spoke.

"It's with great sadness to report. That Anakin is suffering from Galeriana poisoning. Galeriana comes from the planet Elba'll. It is a plant. The roots and flower are brewed into a potion. The Warriors of Elba'll take it, to prove them worthy to fight. Galeriana places them in a coma like state for a week or two. If the Warrior survives, then it's believed that Gods find him worthy enough" Naporta said and taking a deep breath. " Now enough of the history lesson. Somehow Anakin has ingested this Galerian. Right now he is in a coma and not responding to anything. There is a quirk to Galeriana. It remains in the cells. As long it does, Anakin will remain in a coma."

Naporta look around at the council members "But I could be wrong, for all we know Anakin could be a coma for the rest of his life. There is a very large amount in his cells. Then there is no information really on the effects on humanoids."

"Thank you Healer Naporta" spoken by Agen Kolar.

Soon as she left, the council discusses what to do, only to be interrupted by a guard.

"Sorry to report but Obi-Wan has brought Senator Amidala here"

"What" "Why?" " Master Obi-Wan knows the rules"

"Silence" Yoda called out. " The deed is done. Allow the Senator Amidala to see Anakin."

Soon as Padme walk through the doors, she understood why Anakin preferred the apartment. " Too quiet and serious" Padme thought "And oh course, Obi leading me through the building is causing a stir too. Oh well."

"The Healer's Quarters is on the north side of the 2nd floor. Don't worry. We'll take the elevator. You are no condition to do the stairs." Obi-Wan whispers.

"I'm fine Obi-Wan" Padme answers.

"Padme, I know you're pregnant. It's kinda obvious."Obi-Wan shrugging his shoulder and adding " Don't try to denial it with the council. It will be better for both of you"

Padme stared at Obi-Wan "Yes, oh course" stepping out the elevator.

"Good. Now on to Anakin. Remember he is on a breather. He can breathe, just having some help" Obi said, taking her arm. Padme said no more, only following Obi-Wan direction.

"Master Obi-Wan?" Kinanna questioning, as she looks at Padme.

"Padme and Anakin are good friends and I thought it was fair she was allowed to see him" Obi-Wan said , looking at her.

"Yes, she can see him." Naporta walking towards them. Obi-wan nodding at her "Come on Padme, this way" Obi-Wan guiding her again.

"He's in here" pointing to a corner room."Do you want to be alone or would you like me to go with you?" Obi-Wan asks, noting her reaction.

"I'll go alone Obi-Wan. Thank You."Padme answers."I will not cry. I will not cause a scene. Nothing, just go in there and see him." She thought, walking through the door.

"Anakin, Oh Anakin my love" Padme thought, stop and all her strength slowly left her.

With slow steps, Padme went to Anakin, lean over and kiss his forehead."Hello Anakin. I'm here" she told him. Taking her hand, she fix his straggle bangs. And the same time, trying ignore the machine.

"Padme? here I got you a chair. Pleases it down" Obi-Wan said, motioning her to sit.

"Thank You" setting herself down. Soon as Obi-Wan left, the tears came. Taking up his hand and holding on "I love you Anakin Skywalker. What's happening to my Ani? Anakin, what I'm going to do"

"Master Obi-Wan" Yoda call out.

"Yes Master Yoda" Obi-Wan, keeping his voice an even pitch.

Yoda sense that Obi-Wan didn't want to discuss the Senator presence. "Has Senator Amidala seen Anakin?" Yoda ask.

"Yes! she with him now" Obi-Wan said coolly" Don't bother her either" with that shot, he turn and walk away

Yoda only shook his head.
