TimeLine: 1 Month 3 days after Danis's death

Maryna opened her eyes again, staring at the ceiling of her bedroom. She slid the blankets off, revealing her slender body that was only covered by her underwear. She looked around her room, still thinking about the dream she had last night.

She had a dream where Danis managed to survive Coridine's destruction, and the two of them were happily dating, and then there was a time skip where they were married and she was pregnant with Danis's child.

Maryna placed her hand over her flat stomach, wishing the dream would be real. Maryna dangled her legs over the side of her bed, wishing that she could spend more time with Danis than she already did. As she stood up, she looked around her room quickly. She was usually very neat and tidy, but once she got back from Coridine, she just started to become more and lazier.

She stretched, and then grabbed her robes. She just wanted to do nothing today because whatever she does it seems to remind her of Danis. She use to always train with Danis, she went to just about everywhere with Danis, and she wasn't sure who to visit. She feels sad with Sarli since she got her as her apprentice the same day that Danis got Horuck as his, and Sarli became a master the same day as Horuck.

Once she got her robes gathered, Maryna went into her bathroom, and then quickly took her clothes off. Maryna took a quick shower, and in the middle of it, she thought of her dream about holding Danis's child, and then she thought of Danis giving her the child in this very shower.

Maryna shook those thoughts out of her head, and then finished her shower, but the fantasy of her and Danis making sweet love in multiple locations, a few of them a beach during twilight, a wonderful grass field with a full moon in the sky, on her bed with a very romantic aura with candles and flower petals everywhere, and then there was them in the spa all by themselves. She didn't think about those fantasies for very long since she doesn't want to become a pervert, and then she quickly dried her hair.

Maryna put her robes on once she finished drying her hair and putting it in her particular hair style, there was a knock on her door. Maryna walked up to the door, and then opened it. She was not surprised to see Gaz standing on the other side.

"Um, hello there, Maryna." Gaz said, his cheeks lighting up with a faint shade of pink. "How are you this morning?" Maryna yawned, and then replied, "Well, I wish I could go out, but I just don't feel like it." Gaz brought his hand up on her shoulder, saying, "Maryna, trust me, I miss Danis too." Gaz then gave Maryna a reassuring smile, and then continued.

"Ever since his…. Death, it hit everyone hard. I can tell it hit you hard the most, but listen to me, what you're doing, mourning over him and not continuing on with your life, do you think that is what he wants for you?"

Maryna stayed quite for a few seconds, and then a smile graced her lips, causing Gaz to blush brighter. "I guess not. He would want me to continue with my life, so that is what I will do." She then started walking, saying, "Well? Where are we going?" Gaz then followed Maryna with a smile on his face, happy that he is about to make Maryna smile.

Linora groaned as she woke up, her back aching. Again. For the third morning in a row. And Fiona stood at the entry way, wide awake, looking at her. Again. She must've stayed up all night again, watching her. Well, either that, or she was asleep after she went to asleep and then woke up before she did.

"Another twelve hours of sleep. You must have been very tired." Linora sat up, and then stretched her arms. "Well, the a week before you picked me up I was sent out on diplomacy missions, getting very little sleep while I spent almost all day just staying up and trying to negotiate treaties with leaders of a few systems out in the outer rim to stay with the Republic." "Why would they want to leave the Republic in the first place?"

Linora walked up to her, saying, "I'm guessing the leaders don't want to be with a government that has multiple rebellions" Fiona thought back to all the recent rebellions the Republic has had. There was the Rishi Rebellion, and then there was the very recent Sith Rebellion, which has caused not just unrest in the galaxy, but has also nearly destroyed many planets governments, leaving them in terrible conditions. It was either from fields that the planets use for food is destroyed, cities are in ruins, leaders are dead, and the list just went on and on.

Fiona followed Linora into the meeting room, where Fiona sat on a chair while Linora activated a remote. As it came to life, Linora activated her Lightsaber, a blue blade popping out. For the next hour, Linora trained with the remote, only having to turn it back on once due to its timing out once it reached its forty minute limit.

Garen and Korvas Hunt entered the meeting room, Garen grumbling under his breath about a prick that doesn't listen to any type of advice that is not his own that was actually worth at least shit, and Korvas just flipped Garen off when he wasn't looking. Linora sighed as she blocked another set of three bolts.

Her only hope was a Pirate group that probably didn't trust anyone else on the ship, and she was up against the entire Republic army. Not a good thing for her. The only people that actually trusted each other was Garen and Fiona, and then Cyan Dysar, the Kel Dor mechanic, and F4-T6, the very helpful Astromech droid, seemed to trust everyone with their lives, but they don't seem to entirely like Korvas.

Of course, she slightly trusted everyone on this ship, but she didn't like Fiona and Korvas. They were both perverts, and even though Korvas says that he likes only Fiona, ever since yesterday, he seems to be taking a liking to her. Linora only worries about two things now. One is that they give her up to the Republic for whatever bounty is on her, or that, one night, they decide to rape her, and with Galen having a life debt to Fiona, he would probably help them with it.

Linora shakes that thought out of her head, as she continued to deflect the remotes blasters. Once the timer was up, and it fell to the ground, Linora grabbed the remote, and then returned it to a drawer hidden in the wall next to the Dejarik table.

Linora heard Fiona groan as Linora closed the drawer. "I'm so freaking bored! Why couldn't we just hide on a planet more luxurious, like Jalger or Tyqon! It's so not fair." Linora had to admit, staying here and doing nothing wasn't any fun, but they weren't in a fun situation to have fun. Being chased after by the Republic for an unknown reason with no allies is not a situation that Linora, or anyone else, would want to be in.

(Fiona, I can take over watch duty for you. We're done painting the ship green, so I have nothing else to do." Fiona yawned while nodding her head, and then leaned her head back, closing her eyes. Galen pulled his bowcaster off his back, locking his eyes on Linora. Linora simply walked out of the meeting room and towards her station

The Kitchen.

Dinner time on the Blood angel was quiet and very awkward. Linora had to cook all the meals with what food supplies they have, and even though it wasn't the best food they have, it was edible. Garen and Fiona would eat with Kosar in the cockpit, just like Linora, and F4-T6 would deactivate itself. Cyan, however, would stay in engineering. Linora wondered what he does in there, and why he doesn't say much, but he won't say. Hell, no one on this ship knows why, just that he likes to keep to himself if he can.

Fiona would sit in the co-pilots seat and faced away from everyone as she ate so then no one can see her face, and to make sure that no one would try to peek in on her, Garen stood in front of the chair Fiona was sitting in so then Korvas and Linora couldn't see her face. Linora was curious about why she always covered up her face, and the only one that knew why was Garen. He said that she was taken into a Sand people tribe to be trained as one of their own when she was only five years old, and left at the age of nineteen after killing the chieftan with her Gaderffii stick after he tried to make Fiona his mate.

She left the planet by smuggling on a smugglers ship where she met Garen and freed him from a few slavers who were planning on selling him to the highest bidder. Once they escaped the ship, Garen swore a life debt to Fiona and ever since then stayed by Fiona's side as a loyal servant.

Linora was a little jealous of Fiona after hearing this story since she always wanted a wookie as an ally. When Linora was half way through her meal, she finally sighed, and then set her fork down on her plate, and then started to walk out. "Where are you going?" Korvas said, obviously sad that he wasn't able to try and see down Linora's robes. "Two things, pervert. One thing is that I am leaving the cockpit away from the eyes of perverts like you, and the second thing is that I am going to spend some time with Cyan. He seems to be by himself too much, so I might as well see if I can spend some time with him."

Then, with that, Linora left the cockpit, leaving behind Korvas, who was uttering something in Twi'lek. Navigating her way to the engine room, she found Cyan sitting on the ground. His plate was empty, and he was looking at a holopicture of him with two younger Kel Dorians. "Who are they?" Linora asked, causing Cyan to jump.

Turning the holopicture off and turning around, he looked intently at Linora. "I'm sorry for barging in on you, but I didn't have anywhere else to go, and no one to talk to. Also, I thought we could get to know each other better." Linora hoped that Cyan would say something about the holopicture, but he didn't. He just stood up, grabbed a tool box, and then got to work on the hyper drive engine.

"Is the Hyper drive broken?" Cyan looked over at Linora, replying, "Listen to me, and listen good, Jedi. I am to keep this ship operational, and with most of the ships systems offline, I have to make sure that the ship will be able to be operational. Not only that, but I'm making changes to the ship so then we can move the ship while having our best shields up, the same shields that protected us from those bombers, and then I have to make sure the turrets can actually look up to shoot enemies from above, so if you want to talk with me, then help me with these upgrades, because if you are only going to get in my way, then get out of here because I am already on a time line and these upgrades will be the difference between life and death."

Linora, never seeing Cyan like this before, was shocked at first. He was usually pretty silent, but his sudden outburst gave Linora a new light of what Cyan is really like. Grabbing a second toolbox marked with the words 'Shields', she smiled as she looked up at Cyan. "So, how do I begin with the shields?"

Jessica watched as the Jedi Knight walked in her cell with a tray of food again, trying to avoid her gaze. Jessica put her hand over her stomach, feeling a kick. Ever since Jessica got pregnant with Volcano's two sons, she always wondered what they would look like. Seven months pregnant, and she has no father for her children. Of course, this Jedi that has been giving her food and water and clothing has been showing signs that he likes her very much.

He set the tray down on the table, and then looked up at Jessica. "Do you need any other assistance?" Jessica sat up, breathing out slowly as she put her hand on her inflated stomach. "Yes, a few things. What's your name, first of all?" "Joe Charr." "Also, can you help me eat? It's a little hard to bend over to get my food."

Joe smiled, and then picked up the a bowl with some vegetable soup in it. Taking the spoon, he started to feed Jessica, looking at her beauty. Joe had to admit, he was happy to help such a beautiful lady, but he also wanted to help the two unborn children she is carrying. When he was done feeding her, he didn't leave. He stayed with Jessica for a few hours, the two talking. Jessica had to admit that she liked actually talking with someone other than the Jedi doctor during his weekly visits.

They talked about what they knew about Volcano, which Joe did not know a lot about, but he told Jessica what he knew. Then he started to talk about how he was born into a rich family, and then, when a Jedi came to his home on Corellia, felt his force sensitivity, and after many hours of talking with his parents, convinced them to give Joe up to the Jedi Council. Jessica told him how she has no idea who her parents were, and grew up on the streets of Nar Shadda alone except for her best friend Esseg Ray, a Devarodian that was once a excellent bounty hunter, and taught Jessica how to hunt using the most simplest of blades to the most advanced of guns, and made her use these skills to help him hunt down any one that was trying to skip on paying him.

She was picked up by a Sith with red skin and, after paying Esseg a fair amount of credits, took Jessica back to Coridine to train her. As they continued to talk, Jessica found herself seeing Joe in a new light. He was beginning to look a bit more handsome, and his voice calmed her quite a bit. After the seventh hour, Joe looked at the time on his wrist watch. "Wow, I have to get going. I need to get your next meal."

Joe started to stand up, but his actions were stopped when Jessica grabbed her hand. "Wait, Joe. I need to give you something first." Joe, curious as to what she could give him, sat back down. "What is it?" Before he knew it, her lips was on his, and before he knew it, he was giving and returning kisses. Joe and Jessica continued to kiss for a whole minute, and then they separated.

"Jessica, I shouldn't have done that." Joe stood up, replying, ""You're pregnant, and seven months into it. I feel like you and me are cheating on your husband, but I know he's dead, but…" He started to pace back and forth, his fingers now through his hair. "I don't know what to make of this." Jessica stood up with a little difficulty, and then wrapped her arms around Joe. "I know how you're feeling, and I feel weird kissing another man after Volcano has just died about a month ago, but I know what I want." She placed her forehead on Joes, whispering, "I want you."

Joe, smiling, gave her one last kiss on the lips before he left her to go and fetch her some food. Jessica laid down on her bed, her hand on her stomach and her other hand on her lips. Joe is a very amazing Jedi, and an amazing kisser.

Jessica had to admit, if he wanted to really help her, then he will be an amazing father for her two sons.
