To Sleep

To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.

"Eva." Came a man's concerned voice.

"Hmm?" replied Eva opening her eyes. Why is everything so blurry?

"Good your awake." It was the man's voice again. Eva turned her head to where the voice was coming from.

"Master Kenobi." she murmured dreamily. She tried to push herself up, but soon become over taken by waves of dizziness.

"Just lay down Eva." said Obi-Wan walking over to her.

"Why am I so dizzy." she asked.

"Eva, what do you remember last?"

"The…the party. I was dizzy."

"Ok…ok that's good. Just lay down for now. The droid said that you fainted, probably due to too much excitement combined with the force lightning."

Eva nodded, but she wasn't really listening, "Where's Anakin?"

"I'm over here."

Eva turned her head and saw Anakin standing on the other side of her.

"How is Padme?"

"She's fine, how are you though. I heard that you fainted."

"Yeah…"

Eva looked around the room that she was in. White walls, a white bed, white sheets, a white bench…the list went on.

"I think I've spent too much time in the hospital this week." She muttered.

"The healing droid demanded that you stay here for another week-" started Anakin.

"A whole week." She yelled sitting up despite her dizziness.

"But I convinced her to let you stay with Padme and me for the week."

Eva shook her head," I don't want to burden you I'll be fine here."

"You wouldn't, Eva. But, if you are worried that you might burden me then you can help with your father and Aunt."

Eva smiled, "Alright."

"Good you can have the main bedroom and Padme and I will take the guest bedroom."

"Anakin, there is a reason they call it a guest bedroom. It's for guests. You keep the main bedroom."

"Fine. The medical droid insisted that you take the hover chair."

"I can walk. I'll be fine."

"You are going in the hover chair."

"But…"

"Anakin is right Eva. Now come along." Said Obi-Wan.

She sighed with defeat and sat in the hover chair.

"I feel like Master Yoda." She muttered as they walked(hovered) the short distance to the hangar.

Obi-Wan chuckled.

"Eva, what are they like." Asked Anakin.

"Who?" she asked.

"Luke and Leia."

"Oh. My dad looks like you. He is just as stubborn and just as good a pilot. He's very serious sometimes but other times he seems like a little kid, he's a great Jedi. And Aunt Leia is just like Padme, strong-willed, independent. She's a Jedi too, but not as good as Dad." Eva smiled at the thought of her two relatives.

Anakin smiled too and helped Eva onto the speeder. They whirled past a thousand other speeders.

"Are you sure he has license." She whispered to Obi-Wan as the sharply turned past another corner.

"No." whispered Obi-Wan back. Eva smiled as they arrived at their destination.

"Can't I walk into the apartment?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I say so."

Eva huffed in frustration and sat in the hover chair, pouting. Within thirty seconds they were inside the apartment. No sooner had Anakin set foot on the carpet did Eva jumped out of the hover chair.

'Hah I'm in the apartment now. I don't have to use that thing." Exclaimed Eva triumphantly.

"Your room is over there. It has a bed, a desk, and some paper so you should be fine for the week."

"Yup. Where's Padme?"

"I don't know…" he said.

"Can you find out." Said Eva making it sound more like a command then a question.

"Padme…" called Anakin gently

"Over here in the nursery." She called back sweetly.

"Anakin, I'm going back to the temple." Said Obi-Wan

"Alright. I'll be there later."

"And feel better Eva." Said Obi-Wan patting Eva on the back.

"I will."

Obi-Wan turned and headed back to the hangar as Eva and Anakin made their way to the nursery, just across the hall from Eva's room.

Eva smiled at Padme who sat in a rocking chair trying to calm a wailing Luke .Leia lay in the cradle across the room.

"If you guys don't need my help I'm gonna go to my room." muttered Eva, knowing that Padme and Anakin would want some time alone. Anakin was too busy holding Luke to hear her. Silently Eva slipped out the door.

Once inside her temporary room she slumped onto her bed exhausted. She took a quick look at her surroundings ---lavender walls, a huge window surrounded by lavender curtains, and her bedspread, which was lavender as well --- before drifting off to sleep.

Eva slept through Anakin's nervous pacing through the living room, and through the wails of the twins across the hall.

"WAHHHH!"

Eva sat up suddenly in bed and squinted when she noticed the bright sunlight seeping through her curtains.

"WAHHHH!"

Eva got up from her bed and walked into the hall. She noticed Anakin asleep on the couch and decided not to wake him or Padme, whom she assumed was still sleeping.

Quietly she tiptoed to the nursery.

Eva. came her Dad's voice

Do you ever close your mouth.

Excuse me.

Not you, well, you, but not you. Arghh. I wasn't really talking about you, I meant the baby you. You won't stop crying and I think Padme just fed you and you don't need changed.

Oh Ok.

Anyways how are things there.

Good. How 'bout where you are.

Good. I have to stay for a week. Then I will be home…I hope.

Good.

You know you have a really big head.

What!

Your head. It's extremely large. I mean you have this tiny body and then this humongous head.

Well your head wasn't exactly small when you were a baby.

Yeah right I've seen holographs of me as a baby.

Well at least my head is not big anymore.

If you say so…

What's that supposed to mean.

Nothing.

I bet Aunt Leia has a big head too.

Actually her head is normal size

Luke chuckled.

May the force be with you, Eva.

May the force be with you, Dad.

Eva laughed softly and carefully cradled Luke in her arms.

"Shhhh…."

She sat in the chair and gently rocked back and forth, attempting to soothe the infant's cries.

She softly cooed a lullaby, h

"Sleep, small child, and peace attend thee,
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night;
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.

While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night;
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night;
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night."

The baby's cries softened as it drifted back to sleep. Carefully, as not to wake him, Eva stood up

"Shh..." she called as she turned around.

Eva nearly jumped but did not want to wake the sleeping infant in her arms.

"How long have you been there?" She asked Anakin who was standing in the doorway.

"Awhile. What were you singing?" he replied.

"Oh" she muttered gently leaning over to place Luke in his crib. "Just a lullaby that my Dad used to sing to me."

"Oh"

"What is it?" she asked, knowing that something was wrong.

"I have to meet with the Council."

"Why?"

"They have to decide whether or not I will be kicked out of the order."

"Oh I'm sure everything will be alright."

"I just don't know..." ,He muttered walking over to Leia's crib and gently brushing his finger over the baby's cheek, "…would you go. Maybe since you're from the future you could help."

"I will go…but you will defend yourself. I will watch and listen and give my input when asked. Ok?"

Anakin nodded his head.

"And I am not taking the hover chair."

"Fine, but you can't tell the medical droid."

"Fine."

"We can leave as soon as write a note for Padme. I don't want her to worry about me."

Eva nodded and walked to the hangar. Anakin joined her a few minutes later. They soon arrived at the Jedi Temple.
