Chapter 18: Aftermaths.
After three hours, the Hawk arrived at Dantooine. When the Hawk landed, a group of medics were waiting to take Revan to surgery; also Mandalore and the Mandalorian surgeon were there. As soon as the ramp went down, the medical team climbed on the ship and took Revan directly to Khoonda hospital. "Take him to the operation room, now!" The Mandalorian surgeon ordered, while the medical team was taking Revan to surgery, Bastila was behind them, but when they entered in the emergency area, she was stopped by Jolee.
"I need to be with him!" She screamed.
"No, you'll be more helpful here than there." Jolee said. "He's going to be fine." He assured her.
The hours passed, but the crew felt like it was an eternity, doctors and nurses came in and out from the emergency room. The day started to become night, the whole crew decided to stay, Bastila paced anxiously around the waiting room while the others were sitting on the chairs. Finally the Mandalorian surgeon exited the emergency area after twelve hours.
"Are you friends of Revan?" He asked.
Meetra stood up and said "Yes, is he ok?"
The Mandalorian surgeon nodded. "Yes, the surgery was successful in the extraction of the slug. He is stable." He said.
Relief fell in the room, then Bastila asked "Can we see him?"
The surgeon nodded. "Yes, he is sleeping. We will inject in his blood stream the antitoxin to remove the slug's toxin and also we will analyze it." The surgeon said.
"Thanks doctor." Bastila said and she and Meetra went to Revan's room. When they entered, Revan was sleeping; his neck was bandaged due to the operation as well as his chest, although he had gone out from surgery a few minutes back, he was regaining his color. Bastila sat on a chair near the bed and took Revan's hand in hers.
"At least he's going to be fine now." Meetra said.
"I know." Bastila said and took a deep breath. "You know, after three weeks, I finally felt our bond again when I rescued him from the cell." She said looking at Revan.
"You know, you should stay here in case if he wakes up." Meetra said. "I'm sure he'll like to see his girlfriend more than his sister."
"Are you sure?" Bastila asked.
"Yes." Meetra answered. "Besides, I need to speak with Atton." She said and walked to the door. "Meetra." Bastila said and she turned around. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Meetra said smiling and left the room.
Revan woke up a few days later, the first thing he heard was his vital signs on the monitor, when he opened his eyes everything was blurry, but slowly everything became clearer, a warm light bathed his room, he noticed it was afternoon. Revan thought he was dreaming, but then he saw Bastila standing next to his bed looking through the window.
"Hey princess." He said with a faint smile.
She turned around and smiled. "Hey." She said walking to the bed. "You haven't called me like that for a while."
Revan's smile grew. "Where are we?" He asked.
She sat on the bed. "Dantooine" She said. "We brought you here to extract the slug form your body."
"It worked?" He asked.
"Yes, you have been sleeping for two days since you were operated." She said. "I'm glad you're alive." Revan laughed but the pain of his chest stopped him.
"Try not to laugh." She said placing a hand on his chest. "You ribs will take a time to heal." Revan smiled and touch her face with his hand. "I'm happy you're here."
The days passed and every one of the old and new crew came to visit Revan, then he told his friends that they needed to find the Sith that were posing as Jedis. Revan said the Council needed to see the holocron where he recorded how to infiltrate a Sith in the Order, and with that they could recognize the Sith and arrested them. One month after his operation, Revan was finally on his feet, the doctor gave him orders to take a daily walk down the hallway and he did it all the mornings.
"Don't push you too far." Bastila said, they were walking hand-in-hand.
"Baby, you don't have to do this." He said.
"What do you mean?" She asked confused.
"You don't have to be here every day. Literally, you're here twenty four hours a day." He said.
"Well, you better get used to it." She said. Revan looked at her confused. "Revan, my love, you and I are bonded forever and we are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so I don't care to be here all day, every week until you are out of the hospital." She said.
"Besides, this is my way to say thank you."
"For what?"
"For taking care of me."
Revan smiled and kissed her hand gently, "I love you." He said. She smiled and they continued walking. While they were walking, Bastila told Revan everything they went through after Revan was taken away, then she reached at the part when the group was confronted by Vrook, Traya and Sion on Malachor.
"Vrook fell to the dark side?" Revan asked surprised.
Bastila nodded her head, "Yes." They stopped when Revan felt tired. Revan was shocked to know that Vrook have fallen to the dark side and now he was dead.
"Have you ever felt guilty that we have broken the Code?" Revan asked seconds later feeling stupid to bring the question up.
"Revan, I will tell you the same thing I told you on the Star Forge. For the first time in my life, I'm starting to listen to my heart and I like how it feels." Bastila answered looking at the golden amber eyes of Revan.
"So I take that as a no?" Revan asked smiling. She got close to him and leaned up to him, he did the same and their lips met. Revan placed his hands on her waist and she placed her hands on his chest, when they broke apart, they were resting their foreheads against each other.
"That answers your question?" She asked looking at him.
Revan smiled and they returned to his room. The months passed and the Council followed the advice that Revan told them, after watching the holocron, the Council sent Masters and Knights to all the Enclaves to find the Sith, once they found them, they arrested them and took them to Coruscant, but the Sith escaped and left the Known space.
After four months of tracking the Sith and their disappearance, the Council was ready to thank Revan and his friends for finding the holocrons and preventing the Order to be destroyed.
"Revan?" Bastila asked as she entered in his hospital room.
"One minute." Revan's voice said from the bathroom.
Revan came out from the bathroom using his brown pants and his black boots; also he had a towel across his shoulders. His hair had grown back to normal including his bangs and his face was clean shaved.
"Hi sweetheart." He said smiling.
"Hi." Bastila said and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. "I missed to see you like that." She said.
Revan smiled. "You wanted to tell me something?" He asked a few minutes later.
"Um…yes." She said. "The Council wants to talk with you."
"Okay, I just need to bandage and put the rest of my Jedi robes on." He said.
"Let me help you." Bastila said, she took the bandage and began to wrap it around Revan's chest. Then she stood behind him still wrapping the bandage, but she stooped when she saw the scars on Revan's back. His entire back was covered with scars, some looked fresh although they were inflicted five months ago, and others were already healed.
"Sweetheart, are you fine?" Revan asked.
"Yes." Bastila lied. "I was…thinking." She said and continued wrapping the bandage. When she finished, she helped Revan putting on his long sleeved undershirt.
"Revan what did they do to you?" She asked.
Revan looked at her in confusion, but then he realized what Bastila was talking about. "You saw the scars, right?" He asked.
Bastila nodded. Revan sighed, "When I refused to answer any questions about the holocrons, they tortured me. At first were beatings, but then, they increased the level of torture. They electrocuted me and whipped me, and well, you know the rest." He said.
"Revan…I" Bastila said but Revan cut her off.
"No, it's not your fault, okay?" He said taking her in his arms, "It's theirs. Do you remember what you told me when I found out what Malak did to you?" He asked looking down at her.
"Yes." She answered. "It's just…since the Terentatek hurt you, I hate to see you injured." She said resting her head on his chest. The minutes went by for the two Jedis, the sound of Revan's heartbeats relaxed her, after a few minutes, they broke apart.
"C'mon. The Council is waiting for us." Revan said and put his brown robe on. They left the hospital hand-in-hand and headed to the new Enclave. Once they were there, the Council thanked Revan and his friends for locating the holocrons and revealing the identity of the Dark Jedis who were posing as Jedis. Four days later, the holocrons were destroyed, so anyone could use the information again.
Eight months passed after the battle of Dromund Kaas and the wedding of Revan and Bastila took a time to plan, they both decided it would take place on Dantooine, they kept the guest list short, only their friends and the High Council and few masters would attend at the ceremony.
Inside his tent, Revan was finishing dressing up, he had bought a nice black suit, and his face was clean shaved. When he finished, he went out and waited near the altar. Inside her tent, Bastila was getting ready for the best day of her life, although she was more nervous than ever.
"I'm so nervous." She said, while Mission and Meetra were helping her with her make up.
"Oh relax Bas, you aren't going to pull back right?" Mission said.
"Besides, I'm sure Revan is as nervous as you are." Meetra said.
"Maybe you are right." Bastila answered. After Mission and Meetra finished, they helped her to put on her veil.
"Let's not keep him waiting." Meetra said.
Outside, Revan was fixing and stretching his clothes, but besides that, he was happy to see all his friends; Juhuani, Jolee, Kraig, Atton and Carth were there, even Canderous and Zaalbar were there; they decided to take a break from their obligations.
"Hey buddy, how are you feeling?" Carth asked patting Revan's back.
"Hi Carth, I'm just a little terrified." Revan answered.
"Oh, c'mon Revan, really?" Carth asked. Revan only shrugged his shoulders. "Don't tell me the hero of the Mandalorian Wars and the former Dark Lord is brave to fight hundreds of Sith but is scared in his own wedding?" Carth said joking.
"He is also losing his patience, Carth." Revan said.
"Whoa! Easy there." Carth said raising his hands in defeat. "I was also nervous, hell, there's nothing more than can turn you nervous." He said.
Revan sighed, "Yeah, I know Carth. Thanks." He said.
"Here she comes." Kraig said.
Revan was paralyzed when he saw her future wife, Bastila who was being escorted by Mission and Meetra felt the look of Revan and blushed. "Go for him." Mission said. Jolee was the one who escorted Bastila to the altar and gave her to Revan.
"Bas, you…you…look more beautiful than ever." Revan said.
"Thanks, you also look handsome." Bastila said.
"Shall we?" Revan said as he offered her his hand. She took it and the two walked to the altar.
The vows were read, the rings were given and then the part everyone was waiting to come:
"Bastila Shan, do you take Revan to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked.
Bastila smiled and said, "I do." Then the priest turned to Revan.
"Revan Desman, do you take Bastila to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked.
"I do." Revan said.
"Then, by the power vested in me, I now declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Revan lifted the veil covering Bastila's face and leaned down to her giving her a passionate kiss, in which she gave him in returned. The cheer and applauses of their friends was heard and the newlyweds went with their friends.
"Congratulations." Meetra said hugging Revan and Bastila.
"Thanks sis." Revan said holding his wife closer.
"Congrats guys." Atton said.
"Thanks." Revan and Bastila answered.
"So, do you have any plans?" Revan asked.
Meetra took Atton's hand in hers and said, "Not yet, but Atton is willing to complete his Jedi training here on Dantooine." She said.
"Really? That's good to hear." Revan said.
Meetra and Atton left the couple when they saw Kraig coming their way. "Kraig!" Revan said. "Thanks." He said shaking hands with Kraig.
"You're welcome Revan." Kraig answered.
"Do you know what are you going to do now?" Bastila asked.
Kraig took a deep breath and said "Yes, I'm going to train in the ways of the Jedi. It took me a while to make the choice, but after all this; I decided to serve the light instead of the Dark."
"Well, good luck." Revan said.
"Thanks, good luck to you too." Kraig said.
While the reception was held, Revan couldn't take his eyes off from Bastila, she looked more beautiful than ever, and he still couldn't believe they were going to spend the rest of their lives together. A few years back, he had become the great Revan, hero of the Republic and then he became the Dark Lord. But the destiny decided to give him another chance and he found her. It took a while for Bastila to admit her true feelings for him, but when she did it, she knew that this man had won her heart. But then, they thought they had lost the other when they were separated by the Sith, but once again, they were reunited.
While Revan was lost in his thoughts, Carth came from behind and whispered something, "Everything is ready." Revan turned around, "Thanks Carth." He said, Carth nodded and said "Good Luck."
Revan took a deep breath and extended his hand to Bastila. "Bas, can I have this dance with you, my love?" He asked.
She smiled and took Revan's hand, "I'd be honored." He smiled and leaded her to the dance floor, in that moment the music started to play. "Do you remember how is it done?" He whispered. She nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if I can do it in front of everyone."
"Don't worry; we'll do it like nobody's around." He said smiling. They started to dance in the same way they had done it back on Manaan, they just focused on the other and when the music ended, all their friends were clapping and cheering.
When the party finished, Revan and Bastila left the party to their new house which Revan bought only a few months back. They were going to their house in a speeder with them sitting on the front and behind were HK and T3.
When they arrived at the home, HK mounted guard outside the house, Revan carried Bastila all the bride style and T3 open the door and they went inside; he put her on the floor.
"Revan, it's beautiful." Bastila said as she saw the living room, the house Revan bought it wasn't too small or too big. The house had three rooms and two bathrooms.
"Only the best for you sweetheart." Revan said.
"You are sweet." Bastila said and kissed him gently on the lips.
Later that night, Revan was sitting on the terrace thinking about everything that had happened in the last year, until Bastila interrupted his thoughts. "What are you doing?" She asked hugging him from behind.
"I was just thinking." Revan answered.
"About?" Bastila asked.
"That the situation of the holocrons is over. We can finally have a peaceful time for us." Revan answered.
"Well, if something we can be sure about the future is that tonight is going to be a night full of joy and bliss." She answered kissing him on the cheek.
Revan stood up and looked at her, "I've never seen you so…excited." He said.
Bastila chuckled, "Well, I'm going to spend the night with my husband." She said seductively while she was undoing the knot of his tie.
Revan smiled and they went to their room, they sat on the bed and Revan stared at his wife. "I love you." He said. "I love you too." She said.
He leaned to her and kissed her on the lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer. His lips moved to her neck and she took the opportunity to whisper something to him, he smiled against her skin and she buried her face in his shoulder. When they broke apart, she got up from bed, a smiled appeared on Revan's face and he also got up from bed. Standing behind Bastila, he placed his hands on her waist and kissed her softly on the neck.
"So, are you happy that everything is over?" He asked while he has loosing Bastila's hair, then he kissed her on the shoulder.
She turned around and smiled, "Yes." She answered glazing at his amber eyes. Revan kissed her passionately and drew her closer to him until there was no space between their bodies. She took of his coat and dropped it on the floor, he took her face between his hands and deepened the kiss; they broke apart when they both needed oxygen. They rested their foreheads against each other, his hands moved to her waist while her fingers traced over the buttons of his shirt.
"I really love when you do that." He whispered in her ear. Bastila rolled her eyes and threw him onto the bed then she climbed on top of him, he tried to sit up but she pushed him down to the bed. A smirked appeared on Revan's face and his hands moved to her legs and he started to move them up until they rested on her thighs, then he started to caress them. A small smiled appeared on her face and leaned down and met his lips on a passionate kiss. Their lip lock got more intense and she started to unbutton his shirt and took it off, he smiled against her lips and looked for the zipper of her dress, when he found it, he unzipped it as he buried his face in her neck. She moaned when she felt his lips going down exploring every inch of her body.
She looked like an angel; although she was sleeping he could swear she was smiling. Everything about her was perfect, her body, her face, her lips and her bluish-gray eyes. He smiled and brushed away a strain of her beautiful dark brown hair. She stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes, when he saw them he could almost swear they glowed in the dark.
"Hey." She said sleepy.
"Hey." He answered softly.
"Are you watching my sleep?" She asked.
"Maybe." He answered smiling, then he kissed her on her bare shoulder. "I love you." He said.
She kissed him on the chest "I love you too." She answered. He kissed her on the lips and she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him down to the bed with her as she deepened the kiss, and they started again when she felt him on top of her and felt his warm skin against hers.
The next day, Bastila woke up with a big smile in her face, she still was wondering if last night had been a dream, she felt a strong arm around her, she turned her head and saw Revan sleeping peacefully next to her, she watched her hand and saw the ring, she sighed in relief and slipped out from the bed trying not to wake Revan. She searched for something to cover herself and grabbed the shirt that Revan had used last night; after grabbing her hair in a small bun, Bastila left the bedroom and went to the kitchen.
Minutes later, Revan woke up and put on his gray pants and went out of the bedroom, when he entered in the living room, he saw Bastila cooking the breakfast; he smiled and walked to her.
"Good morning Mrs. Desman." Revan said kissing his wife gently on the cheek.
"Good morning Mr. Shan." Bastila said smiling.
After breakfast, they cleaned up the kitchen, while Bastila was washing the dishes, Revan stood behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders, he slid his hands tracing her curves until they rested on her waist then Revan started to kiss the back of her neck.
"What are you doing?" She asked laughing.
"Nothing." He answered and continued kissing her neck.
"Wait." Bastila said facing Revan. "I think we should go somewhere private."
"Okay, then." Revan answered. "I'll be in the bedroom if you need me." He whispered and kissed her on the head, and then he returned to the bedroom.
Felling tempted with Revan's proposal, Bastila stopped what she was doing and decided to go to their bedroom, but when she entered, Revan wasn't there until she was carried up by him. Clinging tightly to his husband's neck and pressing her head lovingly against his bare chest, Bastila giggled until Revan laid her down on the bed, then he climbed on top of her.
"Well, now I'm here. Are you going to tell me your plans for today?" She asked.
Revan chuckled and looked into her bluish-gray eyes. "Yes, my plan is to stay all day in bed with you, if it's possible." He said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Mmhm. So, what do you say?" He asked.
"Maybe." She said running a hand through his hair.
"So that means that I'll have to convince you." Revan said and kissed her passionately then he started to kiss her face and every inch of her neck and collarbone as he played with the shirt she was wearing. She let out a small purr of pleasure when she felt one of his hands running up her leg.
"Okay, I think I'm convinced." Bastila said as she felt the lips of her husband exploring her body.
Months of happiness and joy passed for the newlyweds, but also months of sadness; especially for Bastila. Six months after getting married, she and Revan decided to go to Coruscant to tell Helena the news about their marriage, she has happy for both, but in the same week she died peacefully and happy for her daughter. After her mother passed away, Bastila cried almost everyday, the good thing was that Revan was there for her, he supported in all her grief and always reminded her that she still had time with her mother before passing away. The weeks passed and Bastila smiled again and thanked Revan for all his support. Also The Order grew in the months, Kraig and Visas were accepted in the Order and became very good friends; Carth was happy that other planets offered help to restore Telos. Atton and Meetra talked much about the future, but Meetra was surprised when Atton asked her to marry him, which she accepted instantly. Revan was happy for them and told Atton to take well care of her, Mission stayed in Coruscant and studied to become a pilot with the Republic. Everything was good, but was about to get better in Revan's life one day…
The life had been peaceful for the two Jedis, although they had talked about getting away from the Order, they decided they would do it until the first baby arrived. The sun was setting on the gold plains of Dantooine, and like every day, Revan and Bastila were inside their house to look the sunset.
"Here." He said giving her a cup of hot tea.
"Thanks." She said grabbing the cup.
"You're welcome." He answered while he was sitting beside her on the couch.
He sipped his tea and placed the cup on the table, then he lay on the couch, he noticed she was staring at her cup. "Bas, are you okay?" He asked.
"What?" She asked confused. "Oh…yes, I'm fine." She answered and placed the cup on the table; she lay beside him and snuggled closer. He wrapped an arm around her and whispered something to her causing her to chuckle while he kissed her on the forehead.
"Honey?" Bastila asked while she was tracing Revan's line jaw with her finger.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Can I tell you something?" She asked again.
"Sure." Revan answered as they both sat up. "What is it?"
"What if I told you that you're going to be a dad?" She asked. Revan was shocked but happy, a wide smile appeared on his face as he was trying to say something; finally a few words came out.
"Really?" He asked nervous. "Y-you mean…that you're…"
"Yes." Bastila said nodding her head.
Revan got up, "Baby, that's wonderful." He said and hugged her. He kissed her and when they broke apart, he asked, "How long have you know?"
"Just a few days ago." She answered smiling.
Revan smiled then he left out a light chuckle. "I'm the greatest jerk in the whole universe." He said.
"Why you say that?" Bastila asked.
"Because I never noticed something was different with you." He answered.
"Hey, it's ok. You're just human." She said placing a hand on his cheek. "Besides, I wanted to be a surprise."
"Well, you did a great job." He answered and placed his hand over her belly, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and he felt a small spark of life within his wife. He opened his eyes and smiled. "Yep, there is it." Revan said and embraced his wife again;he buried his face in her hair and said, "I'm the luckiest man on this galaxy."
She looked up at him and said, "Oh really? Why so?"
"Because you gave me a second chance when no one else did, and beacuse I fell in love with the most beautiful woman in the whole universe and now I'm married with her, besides in a couple of months I'll be able to meet my first child."
"Well, I can also consider my self lucky." She said. "You have save my life in many ways and you taught me, there's also a good life beyond the Jedi Order and the Code. And now, we are going to have a family." Revan smiled and kissed her.
Two months passed and Revan wandered if his child would be a boy or a girl, until Bastila told him that they would have twins. This made Revan to be surprised and happier. The months went by and Revan attended every need of Bastila, he even spent days arranging the room that would be of their children once they were born. After five months, the day of the birth was only a week apart…
Just like every morning on his routine, Revan woke up and got up from bed; he went to the bathroom and took a shower. After he came out from the refresher, he put his blue pants on and dried his hair, he examined himself on the mirror, he looked at the small scar that appeared in the lower part of his neck and he also looked at the two scars that crossed his chest. He smiled and returned to the bedroom, he lay down on the bed next to Bastila who was still sleeping; he kissed her on her bare shoulder and she stirred in her sleep. She turned around opening her eyes, and saw Revan smiling at her and she also smiled.
"Hey princess." He said as he was propping himself on his elbow.
"Hey." She answered in a sleepy voice. "What time is it?" She asked.
"Like nine thirty." He answered. "So, how do you feel?" He asked.
"Fine." She answered.
"And the babies?" He asked placing a hand over Bastila's bulging belly.
"They are fine." She answered smiling. "I think they just have awakened." Revan smiled and said, "Really?"
"Yes." She grabbed his hand and led it to her belly where one of the babies was kicking, he smiled when he felt the small kicks, "That's good to hear", he said and kissed her belly and then he kissed her, after they broke apart, he caressed her long brown hair. "Hey I have been planning something for today."
"Really?" She asked "What did you plan?"
"Well, first, I'm going to cook your favorite breakfast and later we are going to take a walk through the plains of Dantooine. And by the end of the day, a friend of us is coming to visit us." Revan said.
"Who is coming to visit us?" Bastila asked curious.
"Sorry babe, but is a surprise." Revan said and got up from the bed.
After having breakfast, Revan and Bastila walked through the plains hand-in-hand. Later, they went to Khoonda spaceport and saw Mission waiting for them. Bastila was surprised to see Mission; she told them that she was having vacations and decided to come and visit them. At night, Mission went to sleep, so Revan and Bastila were alone in their bedroom. He was leaning against the pillows while she was resting her head on his chest.
"Do you think I'm going to be a good father?" Revan asked suddenly.
"Revan…" Bastila said sitting up. "Do you really think that?" She asked looking at his amber eyes.
He shrugged. "I don't know, I guess I'm nervous to be a father." He said.
"Sweetheart, don't worry, okay?" She said. "I'm also nervous but I think it's natural to all those who are going to be parents."
Revan drew a faint smile across his face. "Besides, you have been a good Jedi and a good husband, and you're the most patient, kindest and loving man I've ever met, so I think you're going to be an amazing father." Bastila said.
Revan smiled again and placed his hand over Bastila's belly and caressed it with his thumb, a few minutes later they laid down on the bed. "Goodnight my handsome knight." She said. "Sweet dreams my beautiful princess." He said and kissed her wife. Then he kissed her belly, "Goodnight little ones." He said to his babies, and they fall asleep. Around three o'clock, Bastila woke up, something inside her told her it was time, she didn't feel well in the day and now feeling was stronger.
"Revan." She said shaking him a little bit.
"What?" Revan said in a sleepy voice. "Are you fine? How are the babies?" He asked worried.
"We are fine, just…it's time." She answered.
Revan looked at her, but he realized what Bastila was talking about. "Now?" Revan asked with a nervous smile.
She nodded her head. Revan got up from the bed like lighting and put on a sweatshirt. He helped Bastila to sit up, while Revan was looking for something, she called him, "Revan."
"What? You need to stay here?" He asked worried.
"No." She shook her head. Then she smiled, "We're going to be parents!"
Revan smiled and kissed her softly. "I know. Don't worry, you can do this." He said and helped her to get up and the two went out of the bedroom and walked towards the door.
"What's going on?" Mission asked sleepy as she was rubbing her eyes.
"The babies… are coming." Revan said nervously.
Mission was surprised and went with them to Khoonda hospital, before leaving, Revan told T3 to send a message to Meetra telling her to meet him in Khoonda hospital. After ten minutes; Revan, Bastila and Mission arrived at the hospital, Atton and Meetra were already there and she went with Bastila; leaving the others behind.
The hours passed and the night became day, Revan paced around the waiting room. Atton brought coffee for everyone and asked Revan if he was nervous about being a father, Revan answered yes and said that he would do everything for his kids. Finally, after hours of waiting, almost ten to be exact, Revan heard the cry of his first child, ten minutes later he heard the second one crying. Meetra came out from the maternity area with a big smile in her face a few minutes later; she hugged Revan, "Congratulations daddy." She said.
Revan laughed nervously. "They are beautiful." Meetra said. "You can go now."
"Meetra." Revan said before he could go and see his wife and children. "Thanks sis." He said. Meetra smiled and Revan went to his wife's room. He stood in front of the door; he took a deep breath and opened the door. Inside the room, Bastila was sitting up on the bed, she looked tired but happy. She had in her arms a small infant wrapped in a white cloth, the baby left out a small cry and she rocked the newborn in her arms. Revan froze when he saw the picture of mother and child, she noticed him on the doorway and smiled.
"Here comes your daddy." Bastila whispered to the newborn.
Revan smiled and got closer to the bed, he sat on the bed and looked at the small infant wrapped in the white cloth.
"Revan, I want you to meet our son." Bastila said.
"A boy?" He asked nervous.
"Yes." She answered smiling. He moved the white cloth so he could see the baby's face, "He's beautiful." He placed his hand softly in his son's head and the baby cooed and opened his eyes.
"Hey, little guy." Revan said and the baby giggled excitedly when he saw his father. "He has your eyes." He said to Bastila, she only smiled in return.
"Mr. Desman?" A nurse asked.
Revan turned back and saw the nurse with another infant in her arms also wrapped in a white cloth. "Here's your daughter sir." The nurse said.
Revan felt a jolt of emotions flowing though his body, he looked at Bastila and she told him, "Carry her." The nurse placed the little girl who almost cried but she calmed down as soon as Revan took her in his arms, then the nurse left the room. Revan sat back on the bed and looked at his daughter.
"She's beautiful." He said looking at his daughter then he turned to Bastila. "They are perfect." He said and kissed her wife gently on the forehead. A tear of joy ran down his face and Bastila wiped it.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." She answered and rested her head on his shoulder.
Revan smiled and examined the two kids, his kids and they were alike, only that his son had bluish-gray eyes like his mother and the girl had amber eyes like him. He kissed his daughter on the forehead and then he kissed his wife softly on the lips. After a while, Bastila broke the blissful silence. "So, how are we going to name them?" She asked.
Revan smiled when he looked at his son, "I was thinking naming the boy…Allen." He said.
Bastila looked at him in surprise when she recognized the name of her father. "Revan, you are not kidding?" She asked.
"No, I'm not." He answered. "Baby, I know you loved your father very much, and since you miss him I decided, in case we had a boy, to name him after his grandfather." He said. "So, do you like it?"
"Yes, I do. Thank you" She answered running her hand through the baby's brown hair. "My beautiful Allen." She whispered to the small infant who was fast asleep and kissed him softly on the forehead. "And how about our baby girl?" She said looking at the baby in Revan's arms who was sucking her thumb.
"How about Jade?"
"I like it".
Minutes later, Meetra entered in the room. "Hey guys. Someone wants to meet the babies." She said.
"Come in." Revan said. Meetra went inside; behind her were Mission and Atton. When Mission saw the babies, she approached to the bed. "Aww, they are so cute." She said. Revan and Bastila chuckled.
"Can I choose their names?" Mission asked excited.
"Sorry Mission, but we already have chosen the names." Bastila said.
"Yes, our little guy here is going to be Allen, and our little princess is going to be Jade." Revan said.
Meetra got close to the bed and looked at the babies "You did a great job Rev."
"Honey." Bastila said softly. He looked at her wife and smiled.
"Atton, Meetra we want to tell you something." Revan said.
"We want you to be the godparents of Allen and Jade." Bastila said. Meetra and Atton smiled, then Mission spoke up, "I think it's another word for change diapers."
"Don't worry Mission, you can be the aunt." Revan said. "Yes, thank you." Mission answered happily.
"Can I spoil them?" Atton asked.
"Um…sweetheart, I think you should let Revan take care of that." Meetra said as the couple chuckled.
"Well, you two did a great job." Atton said.
The couple smiled, a new story was about to be written. Revan was happy, now that the galaxy was safe, he could take a time to be a father and rise his children. Nothing in the whole galaxy could take him away from his wife and children, yes, ups and downs could be on the way in the future, but together they could face them.
The End.
