I love this chapter, it shows a bit of what's going on in the Skywalker's marriage. That's one thing I'm trying to do with this story. Show the relationship between Anakin and Padme.

Anakin's Girl- Ok maybe I shouldn't use the word torture. I promised I won't kill him.

Reminder- All the italics are either Anakin's voice or what he is experiencing

Chapter 18

What's going on?
Warmer, that's what changed.

I'm I closer to the answer. ?

"Quick get him to the hospital wing." Dr. K'amott ordered to the attendant. "Amazing you realize that fever was coming on before the sensor did."

"I have dealt with fever with him before. But I just got lucky this time." Obi -Wan said following the doctor.

"Was hoping that the treatment would work? I think we are dealing with something else now. Which means, for the safety of his wife and the twins. She won't be allowed to see him." K'amott said.

"I'll break the news to her" Obi-Wan offered as he stopped at the doorway "Also I'll stay out the room too." Then he turned away and sat down in the chair.

So busy noticing
the changes.

You forget about the blackness,
as one strand comes -

"I need 200cq of Menala and 50cq of Lithara. Tell the lab I need the results quickly. I wish I could give him Sulzar but with the Galeriana. I can't, unless I want to risk some brain damage." K'amott commented as he injected Anakin.

Obi-Wan glanced at the clock, when he realized he lost track of time.

In the hour, Padme will be here.

A thought of calling her was quickly dismissed. No, let Padme have her hour of peace before the storm.

A step is taken.
Then you are seized
by a fit of coughing.

Then-

Obi-Wan's head snapped up when heard the latest bout of coughing. A small coil of fear began to grow inside of him. With that, Obi-Wan reached into the Force for Anakin. He has moved farther away and seems weaker too. Or did he just take a step back. You don't know and for once, you wish one the other Masters was here.

"Master Obi-Wan, I'm sorry but you can't go in just yet. We don't know what we are dealing with."Dr. K'amott said, putting his hand on his shoulder "Sorry."

"I understand." Obi-Wan replied, getting up. "I'll wait for Padme in his room. Then I'll come back. He still needs to be guarded. I'll do that now."

"Also." K'amott pausing, "Milady Skywalker will not be allowed on the floor either. Can't just risk it until I know what I'm dealing with."

"I'll tell her, don't worry."

"Hey. Hey! You two are suppose to be in truce mode." Padme stepping out the door.

"Oh we weren't arguing Milady. Honestly. We were discussing our game plan." C-3P0 said. "After all, we do have to find them."

"Ok, go back to your Search and Tag game. Artoo, turn off your heat sensor, that's cheating." Padme laughing as she climbs into the speeder.

"So what is your plan for today, the same as yesterday." Sola asked.

"Pretty much. Just going put on a plain glove on his mechanical hand. More to give it some protection. I don't need something to coming loose or another problem. Then I would have to get JuJu out here to fix it. Oh lucky me."

"Who would ever think that my sister would marry a Jedi and get away with it." Sola, chuckling at the thought.

"And still getting away with it. The marriage is still a secret, hasn't publicly announced it yet. Waiting for the husband again. The Jedi Council had announced that Anakin had fallen seriously ill and was in the their Healer's Quarters. Maybe one or two weeks, we can say that he was moved to Naboo for further treatments."

"Don't worry. Anakin will recover. He's tough Jedi. After all, how many years, has Anakin been putting up with you. Plus! Aren't you the older one? So you must pull that rank with a few times." Sola asked.

"Three years and he is the older one in this marriage. His life has aged him. Yes, we fight sometimes. We are both stubborn people when it comes to caring for each other. Both suffer from sleepless nights. He fought the Separatist to stop the war and I fought the Senate to bring him home. I know he wanted to leave the Jedi Order and I was going ask him to leave. Why wasn't brave enough to ask him?" Padme softly said.

"You can't blame yourself Padme, for that now. Right now, you only have to worry about the now and the future. And the future is what concerning me, more for the twins. Sorry I don't trust the Jedi Order anymore. Can Obi-Wan prevent the Order from taking them?" Sola asked as she parked the speeder.

"I don't know." Padme answered back when she got out the speeder. "I do have a meeting with Queen Apailana later this week. We'll come up with something."

"I wonder is I could handle a blaster." Sola suggested, opening the door and holding for her.

"You probably could, just leave Anakin's spare lightsaber to me. The best thing I ever held in my hands." Padme smirking.

"Better than Anakin's um, body?" Sola poking her sister from behind.

"What? Sobal! Don't start that again, you and Karis both. There's more to be married to a Jedi than what goes in the bed." Padme whispered back. "Now behave. His room is over here." As she walked in -

Padme saw Obi-Wan sitting on Anakin's empty bed.

"Obi-Wan, where's Ani?"

"I'm sorry Padme, but Anakin developed a high fever and a cough. He was transfer to the hospital wing. I'm sorry to say. You won't be allowed to see right now."

"What, No!" Padme shouted.

Obi-Wan quickly made her sit on the bed and held her as she started to cry. "I know Padme. You wanted to be with him. But you have to think of the twins. At most, it will be only a few days. I will stay with Anakin. Ok. He won't be alone during this." He said, stroking her hair.

"How bad is he now?" Sola asked.

"Right he's fighting a very high fever. They are running test right now. They might have the results in hour or two. If you don't mind, I like to go back to the wing.

"Go ahead Obi-Wan. When Padme feels up to it. I'll take her home." Sola said, giving him a hug. "This tough on you too."

Obi-Wan got up and said goodbye Padme and gave her a kiss too. Told Sola if she needed anything. He would send one the Jedi guards to the house.

"Thank you Obi-Wan." she said and sat back to hug her crying sister.

As you begin to cough more
You don't realize-

There's a black twisting strand
touching your left hand.

But as you said "no"
It jerks you down
and pulls you back
to its black home.

No, not without a fight
Taking your right hand
and grabbing it, pulling it
away from your arm.

Oh course -

The blackness wants to win too.
So another strand attacks you.
Lashing at your back with such force.
That you rack you in pain
and grasping for breath.

With your feet still free,
you begin to kick the next strand
as it heads towards you.

"Quickly I need 300cq of Axal." K'amott shouted out.

"What's happening?" Obi-Wan as he reaches Anakin's room

"Sorry the nurse said, You can't go in." Then she closed the door.
