The next morning Rey had woken up with a fever.
Padme knew Rey would put up a fight.
"I'm fine!" Said Rey getting out of bed "we can go to the market today, I'm feeling great!"
Padmé signed "Rey please, don't do this, you have a fever!"
"But I want to go buy staff!" Rey protested, she hated being sick, she just wanted to get out and do her things like always.
" I can read you a book?" Padmé tried "maybe I can cook your favorite desert? Oh, what about we talk about baby names?"
"Padmé!"
"Rey!"
It was a comic scenario, The great Jedi master with pink cheeks and a big belly throwing a tantrum against a poor, hopeless, looking teenage girl.
"Let's make a deal, if you go back to bed and rest, and if by the afternoon your fever has gone down, we will go out to the market" Padmé Said more desesperante than ever.
Rey narrowed her eyes "You promise?" Maybe her strong will might have won her something.
"Yes honey, we will" Padmé Said relieved, she almost forget what a true fighter Rey is.
"Okay!" Rey said with a happy smile. She turned around and went straight back to bed.
"Thank you maker" Padmé whispered under her breath "I will go back and finish fixing your leg" Padmé told Rey before leaving the room.
"Wait! I can help with that!" Rey started getting up once again.
"NO!" Padmé yelled panicking "you need to get better other wise we are not going this afternoon!" She tried to sound strict but she knew it was fail.
"Kriff, fine" said Rey with a sour face.
Padmé just rolled her eyes and left the room, with a victorious smile.

While the atmosphere inside the house was one of joy, watching right outside the house were three tall figures, with dangerous weapons on their hands.
They sought no happiness , only a cold blood revenge.
"No one told us about this new Jedi!" Said a smuggler with a mask.
"I was surprise when I heard the news from the villagers too" said another man.
"Don't worry, Kylo Ren will not be around for the next three days, I'm sure we can take care of a pregnant, sick Jedi and this little girl, she probably doesn't even know how to use the force properly" said the leader of the group "but we will bring help just in case"
"What if we brought the head of that whore to the New Alpha as a extra, they would probably pay us." Proposed the smuggler.
"We would make more money if we sold it in the black market, those old folks don't care about the whore anymore" replied the leader "we can talk about this once we have the Fetus. Let's be ready to attach tonight, the backup troop should come this afternoon."
"Yes sir." Replied both men.

Three hours later, Padmé made her way to where Rey slept, and sat down at the margin of the bed.
Padmé checked for Rey's temperature, it was better, she sighed, she knew she would have to keep her promise, which secretly Padmé wished Rey would forget about it.
Padmé put her hands on Rey's round stomach, feeling the life inside.
Suddenly Padmé felt a pressure in her hands, the baby had kicked.
"Hi sweetheart" Padmé voice was sweet.
"You don't know me yet, but I ... care about you"
Padmé voice was cracking
"Nothing is going to happen to you, you will see the sunlight" she said with a sad smile.
"I can already hear your laughter" tears filling her eyes.
"I promise that after this is done everything will be okay, today you will live"
Padmé got up, she looked at Rey and she knew what she had to do. She left the room and prepared herself.

The afternoon went well, Rey shopped like crazy, it was like a beast out of the cage. Padmé kept a close watch on her, making sure she wasn't tired, hungry, or thirsty.
Soon enough Rey fever came back so Padmé carried her all the way back to the house.
Rey was happy and that is all it mattered to Padmé.
Once night time arrived Padmé made a vegetable soup for Rey, grabbed herbs from the garden, and prepared a bath for her.
Now that the darkness ruled over the sky, Padmé knew the hour was coming, she needed Rey to rest.
"But I'm not tired" said Rey sitting on the floor "I usually don't go to bed this early" something was off and Rey could tell.
"I just think you should rest for tonight, we walked a lot and think about the baby" Padmé smiled kindly.
"But she is fine, actually im the only one sick" Rey rubbed her stomach "I have been using the force to protect her from any disease"
"I know, and because of that you are double tired and need rest"
"Padmé I don't thi—" Rey stopped, she could feel a presence, not one but many, and they weren't friendly.
Before Rey could say anything to Padmé, she saw Padmé's hand in front of her eyes
"I'm sorry, but I have to do this" was the last thing Rey heard before failing unconscious into Padmé's arms.

Twenty men surrounded the house, all carried big weapons. They all waited patiently for the signal from their leader.
Among them was the men responsible for sending them into this mission, the "king" of the Fisrt Alpha, a new movement that rose from the ashes seeking power.
They were what little was left of the First Order.
they were there to take the offspring of the two most powerful Jedi's and use it as a weapon.
The king was a force user himself, so the troop were counting on him, in case the Jedi turned out to be a bigger problem than they anticipated.
As they position themselves, ready to attack a figure came out of the house.
"Ohh how cute, I guess we could have some little fun with this girl" the leader said with a smirk.
Padmé made her way to the front of the house, and sat on a chair.
"Took you guys long enough" said Padmé bored "honestly I expected more from you king, blowing three buildings, a stab to the chest, and poisoning Rey's food so she would get sick?" She started braiding her hair "you were so careless, do you know how annoying was to hide the force signature of your men? You should have trained them better" Padmé Said while checking her braid "you still disappoint me, I guess the time line doesn't really matter, you still a pathetic excuse of a man"
"Who the hell are you!" king had his lightsaber on and ready to slice the throat of this arrogant girl.
"You don't know me" Padmé called for her lightsaber that came flying to her hands.
"GO, ATTACK HER, I WANT HER BODY, DEAD OR ALIVE"
All the smugglers made their way to Padmé, she ignites her lightsaber and waits.
As the first five men came attacking her she cut their heads off in one move. This made the others stop for a second.
"Don't underestimate me " she said with blood splashed all over her body.
Padmé lifted her hands, and with a quick wave of hands another five men went flying into the trees, you could hear loud cracks of their backs breaking.
Padmé heard a window break and immediately with a simple move of her hands all men that stood behind the house started to choke.
"Don't be so rude, the fight is here. Oh and don't any of you dare touch her"
Those men fell to the group dead.
"King you did not say anything about this girl!" Said the leader.
"I don't know who she is, but I like it her" king raised his and to paralyze Padmé with the force. But suddenly he felt a excruciating pain in his body instead.
"The apprentice must always surpass her master" Padmé Said with a smile "you taught me well king, you really did" Padmé got ready to fight the six people that were left.
"I Made a sacrifice to be here, I prayed for a miracle."
Padmé cut a man in half, exposing all his guts.
One tried to shoot her he had his blasters directed to his faces, exploding his brain. It was a bloody scene, blessed only by the light of the moon.
The rest of the four men, including the leader, tried to run away but she paralyzed them.
"This is a act of mercy, I'm sorry but you chose death the second you decided to work for that disgusting man" Padmé glare at king who was still on the floor in pain.
In one quick move, she used the force to smash their brains, giving them a painless death.
"Now you, you deserve far worse than any criminal in this galaxy" she lift him up in the air "My worse mistake was to believe in you" she touched his face with her bloody hands. "I prayed to the force that they would send me back here, I sacrifice everything to came back and Kill you" Padmé whispered, resting her forehead on kings left cheek "twenty one years ago, today, my father made the mistake of letting you live, I will not" she sealed his lips with hers, and in that moment her right hand broke into his chest, she held his heart. "I will show you the pain of having your heart ripped out of your chest, just like you did with my mother" his screams were the most pitiful thing Padmé had ever heard, and slowing she started to remove his heart from his chest.
"PLEASE! AHHHHHH HAVE MERCY ON ME, I WILL PAY YOU ANYTHING AGHHHHHHH" he begged crying.
"Mercy? You didn't have mercy when you raped my girlfriend" Padmé spitted in his face "you didn't have mercy when used and torture my sister" now there were tears in her eyes "you didn't have mercy when you killed every single one of my friends in front of me, just to teach me a lesson. You don't deserve mercy"
In the midst of screams, the last thing king saw were yellow, cruel, sad eyes staring at him.
His body fell to the ground, dead.
Padmé stayed there holding his heart, with blood dripping down her cloths.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked to the sky.
It is over.
the future is safe.
