A/N: Mara gets a scare early on in her marriage to Luke.

.

It couldn't be so, it just couldn't. Horror passed over Mara's face as she stared at the device; that blue plus sign practically glowing. She fell back, seating herself on the lid of the commode. The symbol was now harder to see, it wavered, and Mara realized her hands were shaking.

Fear shot through her and her stomach tightened. She felt a wave of nausea rise and would have blamed it on morning sickness if it hadn't been that early.

She shook her head in denial.

She couldn't be pregnant—she just couldn't; it was entirely way too soon.

"Kriff," She swore. "Kriff, kriff, kriff.."

She dropped the test and stood up abruptly.

"I can't be pregnant." She muttered, running a shaky hand. "Did I forget to take my repress meds?" She shook her head. "No, I wouldn't made a stupid rookie mistake like that." She began to pace back and forth. She paused in front of the mirror and stared at herself. "But we've only been married for a month—and he isn't even home. How can I tell him?"

Inwardly, she knew that Luke would be happy, but all she felt was uneasiness over the matter.

Mara walked out of the refresher into their bedroom. She paced the floor in front of the bed, trying desperately to think. Luke wouldn't be home for a another day; he'd still be in hysperspace so she couldn't get a message to him,

"Aw, kriff it!" She growled, making up her mind. Mara got together some necessities and decided to take matters into her hands. She couldn't wait for Luke to come home; she had to clear this up.

"Mara?" her husband's familiar voice called out.

She spun around, practically jumping out of her skin. When she spotted him in the door, she sighed heavily.

"It's you."

"Of course it's me." Luke frowned and sat his bag aside. "Mara, what's wrong..I felt this urgency in you…this…bout of panic." He took hold of her shoulders gently. "Mara?"

"I didn't expect you back until tomorrow." Mara said instead.

"The matter resolved itself sooner than we thought, so I came home." He tilted his head, gazing at her with worry in his eyes. "Mara, sweetheart…. Tell me what's wrong?"

"It couldn't have happened. It's too soon." She rambled.

Luke could sense the panic intensifying. It was not like his wife to come undone like this. What could have caused her to worry?

"Mara…"

His wife shrugged then took a breath and locked her green gaze on his blue one; almost as if she resigning herself to whatever it was.

"I think…I'm pregnant."

Duh, duh duuuuuh... I realized I could have written this whole thing as a one shot, but I had to get something out to you guys lol. And I'm also aware that not every pregnant woman has morning sickness.
