Chapter 28
A/N- Thanks to Jedi X-man Serena Kenobi and Han'slilgirl for reviewing.
Ok so here's where you guys get to find out what happens to Faith. I only have 2 more chapters to write and this story is done!
Ok back to the story…
10 minutes before Faith's injury…
"BEN JINN!" Faith roared when he and Anakin got of the Star fighter which landed near his mother and the others.
"Uh…hey mum…what's up?" Ben stammered turning red and Anakin ran over to the others who were all very amused as Tahl marched over to her son and was very red in the face and angry.
"Now mum I know you're angry but please we got shot at and we blew up the Federation Battlestar…"
"That was you!" Padme's eyes widened as she already heard of the Gungans victory at the Swamp.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT I…"Tahl screamed but then stopped as her son's words had just sunk in.
"Uh mum?" Ben asked as her expression changed and she swooped over and grabbed him and held him close, smothering him with kisses.
"Oh my precious baby! To think I almost lost you and I was going to scream at you." Tahl told him and everyone else bit their lips or turned away to laugh at the poor young boy being kissed to death by his mother.
"Ok! Ok! Mum I get the point!" Ben moaned as she squeezed him tightly.
Tahl released him and ruffled his hair and said in a baby voice.
"Awww did mummy embarrass he 'ittle boy?"
"Yes." Ben replied through gritted teeth.
"Where's dad and Faith?" Selena asked as the two rejoined the group.
"Faith was right behind me…" Nonie began then Obi Wan looked very uncomfortable. Selena noticed this and then frowned.
"Obi do you know something we don't?"
"Um…well…she…went to…help…" He stammered then Tahl groaned.
"I can't believe she went to help Qui Gon! Why didn't you stop her?"
"She told me Selena was in trouble so I naturally ran to save my wife." He explained and Selena smiled and then grabbed him and stuck her tongue down his throat.
"OK! May I remind you we have children present." Yane said as Ben and Anakin pretended to be sick.
Selena and Obi Wan jumped away from each other both were red in the face.
"Sorry, we forgot where we were." Obi Wan apologized.
"There's a time and a place and you usually do it at night." Ben retorted and his mother looked at him.
"Ben! What would you know about…" Tahl began but then she stopped and clutched her side.
"MUM!" Selena and Ben screamed and rushed over to her.
"Did you two feel that?" Tahl gasped.
"No what?" Selena asked confused but then she too felt a sharp pain but this was on her left side.
Ben then frowned as his right arm began to ache.
"Mum why are we all sore?" Ben asked
"NO SHE CAN'T BE…SHE'S ONLY A CHILD!" Tahl shrieked as she sensed Faith collapse and now Qui Gon was heading for them.
"What's going on?" Nonie asked concerned.
"PLEASE! SOMEONE CALL FOR A DOCTOR!" Tahl shouted as tears fell from her eyes.
Captain Panaka grabbed his com link.
"This is Captain Panaka, we need a medic down here, we're in the main hanger."
Minutes later Qui Gon appeared and everyone's eyes were on Faith. Tahl rushed over and sobbed into her daughter's hair and kissed her forehead.
The medic came through several minutes later and Qui Gon laid Faith down. Her face was pale and her wound was bleeding and she had lost a lot of blood.
Tahl held one of her small hands and kissed it as her tears fell. Qui Gon was crying too and comforting his wife and running his other hand through Faith's hair.
"W-Will she be ok?" Selena asked standing with Obi Wan who was holding her close. Ben stood with Anakin unsure of what to do he hoped to the Gods his sister would pull through this.
"It's hard to say, she's lost at least 2 or 3 maybe even 4 pints of blood. We must get her upstairs now." The medic said.
2 HOURS LATER!
Faith was lying on a bed with all these wires connected to her. The Council had flew in earlier with information that the Chancellor was missing. Tahl had introduced Nonie to the Council and she had told them everything and Yoda was touched by the young woman's courage he decided along with the Council she could train to become a Jedi.
Nonie informed them of Korriban and Master Windu sent a team of Jedi Knights to go and arrest him but they came back empty handed.
"Nothing." Windu growled as he received the message.
"Strike again he will." Yoda replied gruffly as he stood beside him and watched Tahl and Qui Gon sitting near their daughter's bed.
"Will she make it?" Master Windu asked not taking his eyes off her.
"Unsure I am, pray to the Gods she recovers I will." Yoda said closing his eyes.
"Look at her, she looks so peaceful." Tahl whispered as Faith was cleaned up and was wearing a fresh, clean white dress.
"Our little angel." Qui Gon replied smiling slightly.
Hours passed and at 03.00 the medic reappeared. Tahl was asleep and Qui Gon walked out into the corridor.
"Master Jinn I have got the results from Faith's scan." He replied solemnly.
"Is it bad?" Qui Gon asked panicking.
"She lost a lot of blood due to the impact of the blow by the lightsaber…"
Qui Gon feared the worst and Tahl yawned and wearily opened her eyes then joined him as she realised the medic was there.
"What's wrong? Qui Gon? Is my baby ok?" Tahl asked frantically.
"She has lost a lot of blood." Qui Gon filled her in and she burst into tears. The medic couldn't tell them the rest as the poor woman was in tears but before he could do anything a small voice asked weakly,
"Mum why are you crying?"
A/N- There you go lol so Faith didn't die and to be honest with you I didn't want her to die! Please Review and the next chapter will be up soon.
