Anikan looked at the monitor. "What does that mean doctor."

The medic looked at the monitor and said. "It would appear that you were expecting triplets, but that makes no sense. They should have all died."

"Doctor!" Satine scolded. "These children aren't statistics, call them what they are... miracles."

"Did the healing trance help?" Anikan asked in a combination of anticipation and hesitation.

"It seems to have staved off the poison for the time being." The doctor said. "She will need one of those healing trances everyday. Unfortunately she won't last longer than one year, and I'm sorry to say that that's pushing it. It might only keep her alive for six months. But I could be wrong she might give birth and die within a week."

They heard a small faltering gasp. Anikan looked at Padme and saw tears streaming down her cheeks.

"We will leave you two alone." Satine said before ushering everyone but Anikan out of the room.

"I'm sorry." Anikan said. "I didn't mean for you to hear that."

"I don't want to die ani." Padme said.

Anikan swallowed the lump in his throat. "I know." Was the only thing that he could say before falling apart.

While he was crying ahsoka ran in and said. "Master! Darth Maul and saváge oppress are attacking!"

Anikan got up and turned around.

Ahsoka saw a faint yellow glow in his eyes.

AN: uh oh. Siths about to hit the fan.
