Anakin's POV

Well, I've found out my daughter has DDH (developmental dysplasia of the hip). Common on canines but some on human females. The droid told me she has to stay in the medical wing for 2 months for several of reasons. This made me worried sick everyday…

"Anakin Skywalker," The Medical Droid called my name.

I lurched up to my feet immediately and walked over to the robot. "Yes,"

The droid motioned me to the room where my baby stayed. I walked in as quickly as I could and eyed my daughter with worried eyes. "How is she?" I demanded.

"She's doing better, though we're still trying to see what we can do." The droid responded.

"Can I take her home?" I asked my face desperate.

"I'm afraid not. She still needs medical support… and if we don't do something it will cause her pain that you can't even imagine."

I nodded. "I understand…" I glanced at her again. "Can I…. hold her?"

The droid thought about it but finally agreed. "Yes, sir." The droid then left to give us alone time.

I took my daughter into my arms. "Hello, sweetie." I smiled, tears trickling down my cheeks. "It's daddy again."

She smiled a tiny one, as she stretched, making little baby noises. Her eyes flew open revealing her beautiful eyes.

Minutes later, I sang her a song as she began to drift to sleep.

'You carry me places I'd rather be

Well-mannered gardens well-tempered seas

We're gathered in reason I should believe

That this is different that this isn't free

How could this be?

I'm on my way to better days

I'll find my faith, I'll find a way

I'm on my way to better days

I'll find my faith

I will slip again, and you'll find me

I will live again, and you'll find me

Run, but carry the meanings of your past

I'm on my way to better days

You'll find your faith, you'll find a way

You're on your way to better days

You'll find your faith

Oh

I'm on our way to better days

We'll find our faith, we'll find a way

We're on our way to better days,

We'll find our faith, we'll find a way

We're on our way to betters days,

We'll find our faith

I'm on my way

I'm on my way to better days

I'll find my way

We'll find our faith

Find our faith

Find our way

Our way

Find our way.'

Her little lips removed the cute smile off her face as she finally fell asleep. I placed her back on her tiny bed and leaned against it, seeing her sleep.

I didn't realize I was sobbing quietly. Why am I being cursed with bad luck? No, why are the people I love have the bad luck? It's all my fault… all of it!

Obi-Wan's POV

I watched from the doorway as Anakin sobbed. I've been watching since he got there. I couldn't talk to him right now… he's too heartbroken.

I moved away from the door and thought. Maybe, Shmi shouldn't be here… maybe she should be on Tatooine with Owen or Shili with Carolina.

Either way… she cannot stay here.
