Chapter 16:

Galen slowly opened her eyes as various medic droids worked around her. One of the medic droids moved closer to her and gently pricked her skin with a needle.

"Ouch," she said whimpering slightly.

But the medic droid didn't pay any attention to her. She sat up a little further in the bed and noticed that she was in a medical facility of some kind.

But how did she get there?

And what was wrong with her?

She remembered being sick, but not that sick. But then again she couldn't remember the past few days.

She looked at her surrounds more and noticed that Leia, Wulfie, Han and Chewie were all in the hallway talking to two other beings, since the room she was in had see through walls.

That was when she saw him.

"Daddy!" she cried out, trying to get up off the bed, but the medic droids held her back.

"Miss you need to stay in bed!" one of the droids said fussing at her, a lot like Threepio did from time to time.

"No!" Galen cried out, still fighting against the droid. "DADDY!"

That was when Anakin noticed his daughter was awake. He ran into the room and swept his little girl into a tight hug. Tears were streaming down his cheeks.

"You're safe," was all that he kept saying to her.

Galen just cried into his shoulder. "I missed you daddy," she sniffled.

"Me too Galen." Anakin said gently kissing the top of her head.

From the other side of the windows, Leia sadly watched the happy reunion of a father and his daughter. Deep in her heart, she wished that she had known her real parents. Maybe they were still out there somewhere.

"We located the stolen transport, sir."

Darth Nicholas turned and looked at the storm trooper standing in front of him. "Well?" he asked, waiting.

"It was found on Ord Mantell, sold to a junk dealer."

Out of nowhere the storm trooper began to choke. He clawed at his throat.

"That is not good enough!" Nicholas said forcefully.

He clinched his fist tightly as the storm trooper feel to the ground, dead.

"FIND ME SKYWALKER NOW!" he yelled.

"Daddy where is mommy?" Galen asked as Anakin sat next to her bedside later that night.

"I don't know," Anakin sadly said.

"We'll find her soon daddy!" Galen happily said. "Can we leave soon to go look for her?"

"As soon as you are all better," he said kissing her head gently. He was so relieved that his daughter was all right.

When he had found her presence in the Force and that it was barely present, it scared him to death. But once he found out that she was only sick, but alive nonetheless, it made him feel so much better. Even after he learned that Galen was stricken with MCS, it still didn't faze him. She was still alive and he would make sure that she always would have the medicine she needed.

But even after the reunion with Galen, Anakin was still surprised. He was surprised to find out that Galen and Wulfie had ended up being with Leia and Threepio of all droids. He was glad that Threepio was still the same old Threepio and that Galen and Leia were getting along so well. They acted like sisters without even knowing the truth.

"Oh I forgot! You haven't met Luke! He's not here right now. But Leia said he'd be here in a few days." Galen said happily.

Taken back by what Galen had said, Anakin quickly recovered. "Who is Luke?" he asked acting confused.

"He's one of Leia, Han and Chewie's friends. But daddy there's something odd about him." Galen said a little confused.

"I'm sure I'll like him as well." Anakin said, smiling gently at her. "Now you need sleep."

"Ok daddy."

Anakin gently kissed her forehead and left the room. He needed to go on a walk to clear his mind.

"What is it?" Wulfie asked.

It was the middle of the night and Wulfie and Leitz had waited up for him. But when Wulfie saw Anakin, he knew something was wrong. Anakin looked very worried and stressed – more then he had been in the afternoon.

"She's beginning to tune into the Force," he said as he stood in the doorway to the quarters where everyone was staying at until Galen was released from the medical center.

"Are you sure?" Wulfie asked a bit shocked. "I thought that she didn't have that ability like Padmé."

"Yes I'm sure." Anakin said sitting down and rubbing his temples of his forehead. "I just don't understand why this is all happening now!"

"What are you going to do?" Leitz asked.

"I don't know."

That was when something occurred to him. "I'm going to reveal everything. I have to."

Leitz and Wulfie both looked at each other in a bit of shock.

"Are you sure?" Wulfie finally asked.

"Yes. It's the only way to defeat the monster I helped create."

Far away, Yoda sighed heavily.

The time had come. And it had been a long time coming.

A family was going to be reunited.

And this reunion was going to change the tide of the galaxy…
