Padme let out a high pitched squeal. "EEEK! Anakin whath happeth to my tongue?"

"I don't know how long has it been like that?"

"I donth know."

"Can you swallow that thing back into your mouth?"

Padme did so with oddly relative ease, but both of them just stared at each other with equal shock and horror.

"Anakin…What's happening to me?"

"I don't know but I'm taking you to the hospital."

Once they reached the hospital, Padme's doctor met her at the door and was willing to take her in. the young female rodian took them to her check out room and closed the door

"As soon as you called master skywallker I got straight on it. Now you two tell me you have a sort of tongue problem?"

"It's turn purple and it's become thick and elongated and…and…"

"Slow down child how bout I just see it for myself?"

Padme got up and laid face-up on the bed.

"Now…Open up your mouth and say ahhh….AHHH! Goodness gracious child do you plan on catching flies with that thing?"

Padme could feel her long tongue dangle over her chin before sucking it back in."

"How bad is it?"

"How bad is it? Sweetie that isn't even human. Are you sure didn't have some cosmetic operations you haven't told me about?"

Padme's eyes widened. "I haven't done anything of the sort."

Now the doctor had a look of concern on her face. "Is there anything else strange that's happened?"

"I've gained quite a bit of weight over the past week, but Anakin insist that it is because I'm pregnant."

"Well step on the scale and see how bad it is. You are starting to look kind of chubby."

Padme stepped on the scale. The number 128.6 lbs. flashed across the screen. Just the week before she was 102.2 lbs.

"Yikes!" The rodian jumped.

"I take it it's more than pregnancy weight? Anakin asked.

"Master Skywallker. Your wife has gained over 20 lbs, close to 30. For someone her size that's typically nine months' worth of pregnancy weight gained in just a week. Between that and her tongue issue, it's obvious something is not right."

The doctor to a sterile needle and extracted some blood. "I'm going to take thi blood sample and observe it. Whatever is wrong with you, your cells will tell us something. This will only take a few minutes. I will be right back.

When the doctor walked off, Padme gripped her husband hand and stared to shake.

"Annie I'm scared."

Anakin gently kiss her on the lips. "It's alright. Whatever is wrong with you the doctors will be able to fix I just know it."

"AAAIIIEEEEE! Master Skywallker! Master Skywallker come quickly.

The couple looked at each other in horror.

"Oh that can't be good."

Anakin ran to meet the doctor. Padme could hear the on other side.

"What is it? What's wrong?

"Look at this."

"…What the heck?! What's happening to her cells?"

"It's not just the cells master Skywalker. It's her DNA.

"Is it going to kill her?"

"If it was it would have already done so. We need to go tell her."

The doctor walked back in. "Padme your DNA…"

"I heard a good chunk of the conversation and now I'm scared. Doctor what is happening to me?"

"Someone or something spliced your DNA to the point where it's mutating into some sort of hybrid DNA. I don't know how to say this other than you're mutating…transforming into something not fully human."

Padme didn't know much about DNA splicing or mutation but she did know that in order for the DNA to be hybrid, there had to be another parent DNA, and she knew what that DNA was.

"Doctor…that strand of DNA that's taking over my body…is it hutt DNA."

The Doctor froze for a second. "…yes…"

Padme Started to tear up.

"Padme…Anakin asked. Weren't you trying to tell me something about Jabba injecting something into you?"

Padme explained the story about Jabba and the green liquid that he injected her with.

"Mutagen…" the doctor remarked "That stuff is highly illegal and extremely dangerous. Scientist have been using it as a way to genetically alter an organisms DNA."

"I've heard about that stuff." Anakin replied "back when I was a slave for Gardulla the Hutt, she used to tell stories about some of the other Hutt's using it to make Gamorrean guards with human intellect. But most attempts failed."

"Yeah that's why it was banned. Most subjects die two to three hours after it's exposed to the blood stream because the body so adamantly reject the mutation. Your wife's body however seems to be accepting it. You don't know how lucky she is to be alive well from a certain point of view she is lucky."

"From a certain point of view? How much is My DNA changing to Hutt?"

"I don't think you want to know."

"Tell me."

"Over 90% of your DNA is becoming Hutt while only about 10% remains human. You'' probably have some human features such as hair and fleshier lips, but for all intents and purposes you're turning into a female hutt."

"Is there any way we can cure it?" Anakin asked. "Like some sort of genetic cleanser."

"No it's irreversible master Skywallker. That's why it's so illegal in the first place. A genetic cleanser would work, but it would work too well not only would it destroy her hutt DNA it destroy all her DNA and kill her in the process. I fear there is nothing we can do.

She looked at her husband in horror. "My babies. What about my babies?"

I don't know, but I can find out." The doctor extracted a sample of the womb and went off to do more test. Living the couple to it and wait. The only thing they could hope was that the force was with them.

"Doctor, is she stuck to become a hutt-like woman?"

"I'm…I'm afraid so master Skywalker. I am so sorry."

A/N: BUM BUM BUM! What will poor Padme do? I don't know anything about DNA mutations and stuff like that. If I botched up the science I am dreadfully sorry about that. Hopefully this works for science fiction. I hope you enjoy what I've got so far. As always, read and review
