This ends the cliffhanger in the last chapter.

Leia felt her son's pain and terror.

She raced for the cockpit before she remembered that with the hyperdrive offline there was no way that she could reach her son.

But she did vow to find the person that had done this and demand answers for all of this before she killed them.

Vader paused as he Felt the cries of a Force Sensitive as they used the Force to broadcast their pain and sheer terror.

He could use the Force to hunt the Force Sensitive down but his Master had told him that the time would come for the destruction of the Force Sensitives that were with the Rebellion

However this Force Sensitive was suffering from physical pain. If the Force Sensitive could express their pain like this so it had to be bad. The feelings he was feeling from them were similar to what he felt as he burned on Mustafar.

It would be so easy to return to his quarters to meditate so he could reach out to the Force Sensitive and end their misery.

But if his Master felt his interference there would be trouble.

The Force Sensitive would have to suffer until it either died or was tended to.

Death in some ways was better than a half a life.

Mon Mothma raced to the Medical Area aboard Home One.

Little Anakin had been injured when a station had exploded in a storage bay.

She had felt a duty to Anakin until Leia returned to his side.

Mon entered the main part of the Medical Area to see them preparing for Anakin's arrival.

She stood aside as a medical team hurried in with Anakin covered in burns, so bad that his clothes had either burned off or partly fused to his body, in a medical capsule.

He was withering in pain.

The team stopped a medical couch and Anakin was moved to it.

A 2-1B moved over to examine the severally burned child and Mon moved to stand by Anakin's side. She knew that she wouldn't be allowed to touch him but she could at least offer him comfort for the time being.

Anakin turned to the droid and Mon could see the fear in his eyes.

It wasn't the normal look of fear that injured patients had in their afte an injury like this. This was the look of someone that was terrified beyond belief.

"It's alright Anakin," Mon told the boy gently. "1B is just going to see how bad you are hut."

As the medical droid got closer Anakin attempted to move away from the droid but not only was he in pain there was nowhere to go.

The droid moved its arms over Anakin and the boy tried to bat the droid away from him.

Mon's gut told her that for some reason the droid scared Anakin right now while before he didn't care.

"Do we have another droid we could use?" she asked the 2-1B.

"There are a few others but the boy needs to be submerged in a Bacta Tank." The droid replied.

A few moments later Anakin was prepped for submersion and carefully lowered into a tank.

Mon stayed for a few moments, watching Anakin drift into oblivion. It was better for the boy to sleep and be unaware of just how much pain he was in.

She wondered where Anakin's fear of medical droids had come from. It was 2-1Bs she amended since two other droids had assisted in putting him in the tank and h didn't seem to be afraid of them.

Han found Leia pacing the common area of the Falcon looking upset. He hoped that it wasn't because it would take them two months to reach Bespin so that would mean additional time away from her son.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked her.

"Ani's, hurt." She answered; her voice laced with a mother's fear.

Han approached her than gently pulled her into an embrace. Han was aware that Leia might pull away from him but for now she accepted his touch.

He felt her shift in his arms and was mildly surprised but pleased when she wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into his chest.

Carefully Han led them to a chair and sat down in it.

Han wasn't sure how long he sat there just holding Leia.

"Han, I don't want you to let me go." She whispered.

"I will hold you as long as you need me to." He told her.

After a few more minutes he felt her relax a bit.

He shifted her so he could carry he, stood and headed for the cabin that she had been using for the last few days.

"Please don't leave." She whispered as he prepared to set her in the bunk.

Han hesitated.

On one hand he would have loved to hold her all this sleep cycle. On the other hand he felt like he was taking advantage of her while she was like this; that she would hate him for all of this.

"If that's what you want." He told her.

Leia smiled slightly.

"I am sure that I do."

Padme and the others sat in a mess hall completely subdued.

Anakin had been hurt when a station in a storage bay had exploded. Techs had reported that it had been sabotaged.

Everyone was worried that it was an Imperial Agent that was hidden among them. There were a few that wondered if it was someone among them that had a vendetta against someone. After all two different people used that station

What was just as troubling was the fact that Leia, Han, Chewbacca and 3PO were still missing.

Padme hoped that they were safe but she remembered how the Falcon had been experiencing some trouble with some of its systems. She hoped that the issues hadn't led to their capture in anyway.

Anakin floated in the Bacta in a state between awareness and sleep.

The burns hurt so much but the Bacta was soothing the worst of them, the Force helped with the rest of the rest.

He just wished that the images and sensations would go away.

He could feel the droids cutting into him. His throat hurt from screaming; at least he thought it did since he couldn't hears his own screams.

He found himself hating the feeling of the breathing apparatus on his face and the fact that it was helping him breathe.

He did know one thing for sure though: he wanted his mother more than anything.

Slowly he thought all of the words of the song that his mother sang to him before bed. It was a pretty song and he would have smiled if the breathing apparatus allowed him to.

Mommy, please come home. He thought silently.

Man, am I proud of myself! :)

I hope you all enjoyed this and the part with Leia and Han I wrote some of it and the rest of it wrote itself.
