Chapter Twenty-Seven


**Obi-Wan's point of view**


After leaving the Healer's wing, Anakin and I went back to our quarters to get some rest, this time peacefully, knowing Meagan and Sasha had come through the worst. After taking a long undisturbed nap, I took a hot shower, then headed into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. Anakin was just rising as I finished, then headed into the shower himself. Then, as I sipped at my cup of coffee, Anakin dressed in the living area. He had his own room, but he still didn't want to leave me alone, which I was truly grateful for.

"What's there to eat?" He asked me as he strode into the kitchen a few minutes later.

I shrugged. "Whatever is in there. I just took some from one of the dishes."

He nodded, digging through things before finally settling on something. As he sat down at the kitchen table, he turned back to me. "You ate?"

I nodded. I still didn't have an appetite, but I ate anyway. "After you finish, we should head back down to the Healer's wing."

He nodded before swallowing a big bite.

It was a little later that we headed down stairs and were ushered into Master Jessie's office. We'd already been there several times before to discuss Meagan's condition. However, this time the situation was looking much better.

"How is she?" Were the first words out of my mouth as we all sat down.

"Sleeping peacefully right now, but she'll wake up in about an hour, so we have some time to discuss things." Master Jessie smiled as she leaned back in her chair.

"Which is?" Anakin asked, almost impatiently.

She looked at the two of us for a second before speaking. "I think you two already know that just because she's out of the comma doesn't mean they are going to get better overnight. They still have a long way to go. The whole situation, and being pregnant, has been very traumatic for Meagan and it will take some time to recover from that."

She paused again before continuing with Anakin and I listening intensely. "I would love to tell you that everything is going to be smooth sailing from now on, but it won't. The bullet wounds haven't been able to completely heal properly, which is still hurting her and she is still exhausted from the healing trance she was in and the comma itself. Her body isn't going to be able to heal her wounds and take care of that baby very well or fast."

"Can't we put her in a bacta tank now that she is out of the comma?" Anakin voiced before I could.

"I would really like to, but to put her into it, I have to sedate her, which means most body functions slow down, which includes taking care of the baby. After what Sasha has gone through, even as strong as she is, I don't want to chance something happening. Until the baby is born, I won't do that."

"What, if anything, can we do now?" I asked.

Master Jessie sighed before answering. "I really want to put Meagan into the bacta tank. It can heal those wounds and help restore her, but we would have to surgically remove Sasha first."

"But would Sasha make it if we did that?" Meagan was only just entering her seventh month now.

"I believe she would, but I want to make sure Meagan adjusts to being out of the comma before I put her under a anesthesia. I can tell you right now, she won't be able to carry that baby for another two months."

We both stared at her for a long second, trying to comprehend what that meant as she started to explain. "As I said, Meagan's body is going to try to start to heal itself and take care of the baby. It's too much on her at this point, so she'll go into premature labor."

"How high are the chances of that happening?" I asked, hoping to get through this as easy as possible.

"Pretty high." She straight out told us. "I don't think that will happen in the next few days, but it's pretty likely to occur in the next several weeks, especially after everything that's happened. With your permission, I want to wait a week or so, to make sure they are both stable, put Meagan under, remove the baby, then put her into the bacta tank. Sasha will be okay and it will help Meagan heal a lot faster."

"What are the risks?"

"There is always a certain amount of risk when going into any surgery, though it's simple enough where I don't think there will be any complications. I won't do it if I feel that they aren't staple enough. I do feel this is the best course of action. The wounds are already bothering Meagan since the patches have done all that they can do and it will save her from having any more complications concerning her pregnancy. The surgical procedure I would do anyway, since it would be entirely too hard on Meagan to experience any sort of child birth."

She paused as Anakin and I were trying to absorb all of this. "I know this is a lot to take at once. We don't have to decide right now, but if we want to put Meagan in the bacta tank I want to do that as soon as possible, so it helps her more."

I rubbed my weary eyes as Anakin asked. "What about the risks to Sasha? Will she be ready?"

"That's always a concern in any premature situation. We can give her a drug that speeds up the development, especially her lungs. She will be pretty small, but the Force is incredible strong in her and we've already seen what a fighter she is. If the drug helps her lungs, she should be fine."

Anakin and I glanced at each other. He seemed to go along with it, since it was the better option it seemed. I couldn't stand to see Meagan in the pain she was in and the long term recovery, but yet, if Sasha wouldn't make it, though Jessie seemed to think that wouldn't happen. I sighed, wanting to do what was right and I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do concerning the visions I had. Meagan had come out of the comma, but there was still a chance that something else would happen. But on the other hand, something could happen if we didn't do it either.

Before we could make a decision or discuss anything further, another Healer came into to tell us that Meagan was waking up. We all immediately rose, knowing we could finish this later.

*******


The next few days were long and slow. Meagan mostly slept since the pain medication was making her tired. I watched her sleep as Anakin came into the room.

"Maybe we should have Master Jessie do it now." He said, sipping on a cup of coffee.

"I think so too, but I keep remembering the vision." I admitted to him as I took the cup of coffee he offered. "I don't want to make the wrong decision."

He remained thoughtful for a moment or two before speaking. "Master Yoda says dreams and visions don't always come true and can be changed. The future is always in motion. And we've already changed it. Meagan woke up and Sasha is doing fine."

I couldn't help, but smile. "Thank you Padawan, I needed to hear that."

He smiled. "Your welcome, that's what I'm here for."

We then sat in contemplative silence and meditated before we told Master Jessie to perform the procedure when she believed Meagan and Sasha were stable enough to do it.

"Obi-Wan." I heard my name through a fog of sleep that same night. I woke up to find Meagan gazing at me, the room dark.

"What are you doing awake?" I asked as I stood up, then perched on the edge of her bed. "How do you feel?"

She managed a weak smile. "Extremely tired., but at least nothing's hurting right now. I really am beginning to dislike this, either in pain or I'm out of it because of the medications."

I pushed back a few stray hairs. "I know it's hard on you" I was really debating when to tell Meagan what we thought was best for her and Sasha, but not in the middle of the night.

"What is it?" Her quiet voice broke into my thoughts, making me cringe at how well my wife could read me.

I sighed. "Just concerned about you, that's all. Don't worry about it honey. Just rest."

She gazed back at me, as if reading my thoughts, then shook her head. "You, Anakin, Master Jessie and everyone else around here have been avoiding talking to me about things..."

I was about to interrupt her when she managed to put a finger on my lips.

"And let me finish for once. Now, if there is something you have decided about my condition or my baby's, I want to know. Now."

Even in her condition, I could see the determination in her eyes. So, I went and told her of Master Jessie's medical expertise and our decision. "We honestly think this is for the best."

She laid there quietly for a few moments, just taking it all in before she finally spoke again. "I trust you all to make the right decisions, but....." Her voice trailed off and I wondered at the tears in her eyes. "I feel cheated."

I was taken back for a moment. I was almost expecting her to be mad or upset that we didn't include her in our decision making, but cheated? Before I could ask her what she meant, she answered the unspoken question.

"It's just....that....I'll be put into the tank after the surgery. I won't even be able to hold her or nurse her.....and, not that I was actually looking forward to experiencing child birth, but I don't get to bring my own child into the world....."

At that, I leaned to stop her rambling with my forefinger. "Meagan, I promise after you've recovered from the bacta tank, I'll bring Sasha to you. And no matter how she is born, she will always be our daughter, the brand new person we created together in our love for each other." I kissed her lips gently, then wiped her tears away. "I love you."

"I love you too, Obi-Wan." The gentle sound of my name from her lips caused tears to well up in my eyes. She smiled as she fingered my beard. "I had this wonderful dream or maybe Sasha and I were really there. It was so much like Colorado and the last thing I wanted to do was leave. The snow capped mountains, with those tall pine and cedar trees, the flowers, and the streams, bright blue skies and sunsets that display every color of the rainbow. Oh, Obi-Wan it was amazing to sit and talk to my Father and Qui-Gon for hours on end while Sasha played with them."

She held onto my hand tightly as she described the place and what our daughter looked like, having the same features that she did in my own visions, past and present.

"Though through it all, something wasn't right, like there was something missing and I kept hearing these voices, but since it was so peaceful and I wasn't in any pain, I ignored it. After awhile, Sasha came over to me and kept asking me where you and Anakin were and kept repeating that we had to go home."

She paused thoughtfully as she continued her narrative while I hung onto her every word. This was sounding a lot like the vision Anakin described to us before Meagan came out of her comma.

"At first I threw it off, not wanting to leave, especially with my Father there, but it was something Qui-Gon told me that made me reconsider things."

By now I wasn't surprised since I'd often heard him in the Force and Anakin did say he was there. I was also pleased Meagan had the chance to see him and especially about Sasha knowing him as well. "And what did he say?"

She smiled again, her hand on my face. "Well, we actually talked quite a lot and he and Sasha often played together. He told me how proud he was of you, the man and Jedi you've become and how much he misses you. Anyway, as Sasha was asking to go home, I asked him what to do. He then told me as much as he enjoyed knowing Sasha and seeing me, he told me to follow my instincts, trust in the Force and in my heart. He hugged me goodbye and said that he'd always be with us and that I was giving Sasha a chance to live. Then I woke up here, hearing your voice and even then a part of me wanted to go back, but you're my heart Obi-Wan. I just couldn't leave you."

I sat there, amazed at her story. "Meagan....." I soon discovered that to say anymore would relinquish what little control I was having with my emotions. I leaned down touching my face to hers, keeping it there until I could speak again. "You can't even imagine how touched I am to hear you say that, giving up going back there, especially with your Father....."

I could feel her tears mingle with my own. "Obi-Wan....." She could barely say my name as we lapsed into a silence that needed no words until both of us feel back to sleep.


*******

During the next few days, the pattern stayed the same. The Healer's kept a close monitor on both Meagan and Sasha. The tension was thick as we waited for the drug to take affect after Master Jessie deemed it safe enough to start the entire process. We knew Sasha felt the tension and we comforted her as best we could. At times I couldn't wait to finally hold her in my arms, to truly see our little one. Meagan, despite the pain she was in, was doing well. She didn't complain much and slept most of the time, mostly from the pain medication. We all knew being pregnant and trying to recover from everything that had happened wasn't easy on her at all. It pained me to know what she was experiencing, that there was nothing much I could do.

"Obi-Wan?" Her sleepy voice broke me from my thoughts one afternoon.

"Yes my lady love?" I asked her, pushing a stray hair of her cheek.

She smiled slightly. "I can't wait for all of this to be over. To be able to do things on my own and actually move anything without hurting."

I stroked her cheek lightly. "I know, it'll be all over soon."

She sighed, her eyes barely keeping open. "Don't leave me."

"I'm right here Meagan, I won't leave." I held her hand until she fell back to sleep.

It was several days later, Anakin and I were getting ready for bed in our quarters when he came up to me. (Jema was staying with Meagan during the night, so we could sleep.) "Something doesn't feel right."

I looked up at him sharply. "What is it?" I myself felt something a little odd but didn't worry about it since Meagan's hormonal levels had risen during the last day or so. He sighed as he dropped down onto the couch. "Honestly, I don't know, but I think something's wrong."

I sat down next to him. "It's probably from the tension we've gone through the last month. Try to get some sleep."

He laid back down on the pillows. "Yes Master."

I stood and smiled down at him as I handed him a blanket. "Sleep well Padawan."

"You too." He eyed me warily for a moment. More than once, I'd risen in the middle of the night, snuck past him to go to Meagan. "You'd promised to sleep the entire night Master. I've bugged the door to alert me if you left before sunup."

I couldn't help but laugh at this. "Thank you Anakin and yes I was planning to sleep all night."

He adjusted the blanket around him as I headed toward my bedroom.

After changing clothes I easily fell into bed, falling right asleep. I'd slept deeply through most of the night until the beeping of my comlink rudely awakening me.

I lazily started to reach for it, but when I noticed the number id labeled on it was from the Healer's wing, I immediately snapped to attention. "Kenobi here."

"You and Anakin need to get down here, now." Master Jessie's voice was brusk and business like sending tingles of fear up and down my spine before I released them into the Force. "Meagan's water broke and I know we were going to do the procedure sometime next week, but I'm prepping her for surgery now."

It was my quick Jedi reflexes that kept me thinking clearly. "Go ahead and get started. We'll be there as soon as we can. May the Force be with you."

"And with you too." She quickly cut off and I sat there for a second before springing into action.

"Anakin." I called out as I reached for a pair of pants and a top. Still buttoning the top, I hurried into the living area. "Anakin, wake up."

He must have heard the first call because he was somewhat awake, still lying on the couch. "Morning already?" He rubbed his eyes as he gazed up at me, but quickly sat up, realizing something was wrong. "What happened?"

"Meagan's water broke. Master Jessie is getting her ready for surgery. Get dressed so we can go."

Instantly he sprang into action, throwing his clothes on as I went back into my room for my boots. When I came back out, he was already dressed, waiting in the living room area."Let's go."

He led the way, debugged the door, and we left the apartment, heading for the Healer's wing. I felt Anakin put his hand on my shoulder as if encouraging me. I could only smile at him, afraid to speak, that once again, my wife and baby could die.


AN: Another cliffhanger?!!!?!!! Sorry......we can't help writing them. We don't mean too. They just come out that way. Stories tend to write themselves, well a good portion of the time anyways. I mean there is such a thing as writer's block. So please stay tuned to see what happens to the two females in Obi-Wan and Anakin's lives.


LOTR quote for this chapter.....

"What's that?

This my friend is a pint.

It comes in pints?

Hmmm.

I'm getting one.

You had a whole half already!" Merry, Pippin and Sam in The Fellowship of the Ring. The scene in the Prancing Pony is one of my favorites.
