A bridge over Dark Waters, (21 years after ROTJ, NJO,AU) updated Feb 14 A/P the rest of the crew

ok

 

Luke watched as Cighal prepared his mother to be placed in a bacta tank. ?After some blood examples, I believe she has contacted a rare virus off her home planet. She will be fine after an hour in the bacta tank, but she will need at least five days of rest.?

Anakin nodded, knowing that he would have to keep her in bed no matter how hard she?d try to get up. ?How long before she will wake up?? Anakin asked suddenly.

Cighal looked at Anakin, she was still having trouble with him standing there knowing who he used to be. ?Two hours.? She paused before continuing. ?But I do suggest to try and not keep her up for too long. She?s needs her rest.?

Anakin nodded as he watched the jedi healer place Padme in the bacta tank, she activated her assistant 21B. Cighal turned to Anakin, ?You may wait here for as long you want.?

?Thank you.? Anakin replied as he turned his gaze back to Padme in the bacta tank.

Luke approached his fathers? side, ?Are you going to be ok?? Luke asked in concern. ?I need to see how Mara?s feeling.?

Anakin nodded, ?I?ll be fine, don?t worry.?

Luke nodded as he left with out a word.
-------------------------
Mara looked up as Luke walked in. ?How you feeling?? Luke asked in concern.

?Not so good, I?m not sure what is wrong with me. Cighal is completely baffled.?

Luke nodded as he sat down on the bed with a sombre tone.

?Luke what is it?? Mara asked after a few uncomfortable silences.

?Mother broke down in a fever during the meeting.? Luke said.

?Is she going to be ok?? Mara asked in concern.

?Yes, she?ll need a few days of rest but should be fine after that.? Luke replied as he placed his arms around Mara.

?That?s good.? Mara replied as she leaned back into his chest.
-----------------------
Fress was walking by the med suit when she felt Anakin was in there with Padme. She walked in to see Padme floating in a bacta tank. She approached his side silently.

?Anakin, what?s wrong with Padme??

?She?s contacted a rare virus.? A few minutes later. ?I thought you would?ve been gone by now.?

Fress sighed, ?I?m leaving in a few hours.?

?I understand why you are angry with me, you and Jess were deeply in love.? Anakin paused for emphasises. ?He?s a dark jedi now.?

Fress?s breath became choppy as what he told her sunk in. ?No, how could you??

?I?m sorry Fress, I had nothing to do with his fall, he turned when you disappeared.?

Fress covered her face and rubbed her temples, ?first you now Jess. I don?t believe this.? She looked into Anakin?s mask, ?I?m going to turn him back. If he truly loves me he?ll fight his way back to the lightside.?

?I have no doubt, Love is what brings dark jedi back to the lightside. Luke is the reason I turned back in the first place.?

Fress nodded knowing it was true.

?Be careful Fress, he will try and turn you.?

?I will and don?t worry, I?ll be back.? Fress replied with determination, she left to prepare for her long journey ahead of her.
-----------------
Fey?lya was glad no one had noticed he had slipped from the group; he needed to find out why Vader decided to come back several years later. He walked into the med suite where Padme was laying on a bed and Vader no Anakin, he reminded himself was holding her hand tightly.

He decided not to say anything except observe him for a few minutes. He watched as Anakin stroked Padme?s face and lightly told her things.
------------
?Padme, I love you so much. I know you can hear me, so this makes it easier if you don?t say anything. I didn?t come back because of my crimes, what I did to Luke and Leia is unforgivable. I know I have screwed up any chance I had with them years ago. Now they plain just hate me.? Anakin paused to recollect his thoughts before continuing on. ?I?m at a complete loss now, I don?t know what is right anymore. I want to stay but I feel that my presence may bring our children and the lives they have built up more grief then they deserve. I have to leave. I?m so sorry Ang

 

Great post, Falcon!

 

Thanks Jade,

 

Anakin better stay. He's going to be needed.

The twins will live and so will the rest of the galaxy.

Padme, get better!!!!

 

thanks JSM for the feedback.

 

Vador can be so loving and sweet .

 

Thanks Dana, yup Anakin can be so loving and sweet

 

OOOOOOOOOOh! I bet it's Fey'La getting scolded. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that one (or whatever indigenous insect comes closest).

You made it sound like Anakin is planning on leaving (or perhaps something more drastic), I hope his family can convince him otherwise.

 

hehehe oh yeah its a site to behold,

 

-------------------------------
Jaina walked to the medical suite, she heard her grandmother had fallen ill and she wanted to check up on her. She heard her mother snap at someone. Please don?t let it be grandfather Jaina thought as she rounded the corner.

The last being she would ever thought to see here was the least she suspected and the way her mother sounded was not too happy with him either.
----------------
?Leia, your parents are talking about leaving the public face for good.? Fey?lya gloated.

Leia became angry about this sudden outburst from the nosy bothan. ?What do you think your doing spying on my parents like this?? Leia asked in disgust.

?I wasn?t spying, I came here to talk to Anakin.? Fey?lya defended in shock. ?I seen they were having a priva??

?A private moment, couldn?t you have just waited until later instead of listening in on their conversation?? Leia snapped.

Jaina approached her mother?s side, ?mom remember to be aware of your anger.?

Anakin walked out as he surveyed Jaina Leia and Fey?lya, ?What is with all the yelling out here? People are trying to sleep.?

?Sorry Father, but this little furry being decided to ease drop on you and mom.? Leia replied with a little embarrassment.

?No need to be embarrassed Leia.? Anakin reassured her, he turned to Fey?lya, ?and as for you.? Jaina suddenly felt a powerful push as her grandfather altered Fey?lya?s mind to forget about the conversation that transpired between her grandparents. Jaina smirked at the confused look on Fey?lya?s face.

?Now what were you doing, oh yes you are going to head back to your room.? Anakin commanded.

Fey?lya walked away with a slight nod and puzzlement look on his face.

Leia looked at her father, ?What did you do??

?I altered his mind with the force, he will not remember that conversation for at least two years.? Anakin replied.

Leia smiled, ?Luke?s done that a couple of times.? It turned into a frown, ?What?s this about you and mom leaving anyways??

Anakin turned to his granddaughter, ?Jaina, please check on your grandmother for me, I need to talk to your mother in private.?

?Sure.? Jaina replied as she headed to the room Padme was in.

Anakin sighed as he motioned Leia into an empty med room.
---------------------------
Padme looked up and watched her granddaughter enter the room and sit down in the chair Anakin had recently evacuated.

?What?s going on out there?? Padme questioned.

Jaina shook her head, ?Fey?lya was listening in on you and Grandfather and mom scolded him while Grandfather used the force and made him forget the conversation. They?re talking in private right now.?

Padme sighed as she stood up. Jaina was on her feet fast and let Padme lean into her. ?You shouldn?t be up.? Jaina said in concern. ?You?ll get me into trouble with??

?You let me handle your grandfather.? Padme reassured Jaina.

Jaina sighed, ?Your idea and not mine.?

Padme nodded as she began to walk towards where her daughter and husband were talking, Jaina walked behind her in case she needed help. When they approached the empty room where the two were talking her grandfather?s words stopped her dead in her tracks.
-------------------------------
?I didn?t want to say anything, but I don?t want to stick around and mess up you and your brothers life anymore then what I had already done.?

Leia looked away and glanced back at him. ?Father, I want to try and work this out no matter how painful it will get. I want you and mom to stay no matter what others might think. I named my youngest son after you to show that old war wounds can heal over.?

Anakin felt like crying, ?And I feel honoured that you named him after me. I would like to try and work this out, I was not sure if the rest of the family would like to as well.?

Leia shook her head as to clear away unpleasant thoughts. ?I think it might be better if we tried and work things out, cause running away is not going to make the problem go away.?

Anakin let out

 

Great post, Falcon!

 

Thanks Jade,

 

Yea!!! They're not leaving!!! Happy day!!!

I still say that someone *eyes a nosy senator* should be dealt with.

 

hmmmm, thanks for the feedback mesa thinks your right.

 

no one kill me, I am using two of Jade's characters out of her fic called Unexpected Allies, I have adjusted it so thay are apart of Rogue Squadron. Salae Kaika and Ineza Yswlt belong to Jade243.
----------- -------------------
Jaina looked at her brothers as she relayed what their grandparents were thinking about doing. Anakin and Jacen both looked shocked, ?I don?t think he gives in that easily. Talking a Skywalker out of an idea is like talking a space slug out of having you for lunch.?

Her brothers nodded in agreement. ?So what do you suggest? Talk to them both?? Anakin asked.

?It might help.? Jaina replied with a nod.

Jacen sighed; he hadn?t talked to either of them since they both made their presences known. ?Ok lets get this over with.?

Jaina glanced at her twin picking up on his thoughts. ?It?s not hard to talk to him. Not as hard as I thought it would be.? Jacen looked at her and nodded.

Jacen and Anakin followed Jaina out of the room.
-------------------
Anakin looked over as his grandchildren entered the room. Somehow Jaina didn?t believe that he would stay even though he had promised Leia, and he intended to keep his word.

Padme?s face lit up at the site of her grandchildren. ?Hay, so you guys don?t believe we?ll stay??

All three nodded. ?I tend to stay true to my word.? Anakin reassured them with sincerity.

Jacen stretched out with the force and felt the truth behind his grandfather?s words, he also felt remorse over what he had done to mom dad and Uncle Luke. Why did he let me scan him like that if he is fully trained??

//Its bad, Leia may not talk to you about it, what I did was completely unacceptable.

//What exactly did you do?

//I rather would not talk about it.

Jacen shook his head as Han and Chewie walked in. He eyed his children curiously.
?We?re heading out to see Lando soon.? He turned to his in-laws, ?If you want to come you may. Lando knows you?re here and he extends an invitation to you two.? He turned to his father-in-law, ?As long as you try and not take over his business like you did on cloud city.?

Anakin glanced at his grandfather raising his eyebrows, ?I forgot about that part. What did you do? Leave a garrison behind??

Anakin nodded, ?Yes I did, I will leave Calrissian?s business alone.?

Padme looked at her husband. ?You better, I will be deepening that gash more if you don?t.?

Anakin smiled behind the mask. ?Nice Mi lady and you should be asleep right now. What if Cighal walks in??

Padme grinned, ?You can tell her how stubborn I am and has trouble following the doctors orders.?

?I am not looking forward to that talk.? Anakin replied with a grimace.

?And as you should.? Cighal said as she walked into the room to check on her patient. ?I told you not to keep her up for too long.?

?She?s insistent to be up.? Anakin defended.

?So you tell me, how about leaving her side for a few hours so she can rest?? Cighal posed.

Anakin sighed as he stroked Padme?s cheek, ?I?ll be back in a couple of hours.?

Padme nodded as she reached up and took his hand into her own. ?I love you Ani.?

?I love you too Angel.? Anakin returned before standing up. He motioned for the rest for the family to follow him.
--------------------------------
Gavin Darklighter approached Salae Kaika and Ineza Yswlt. ?Are you two ready to head out?? He asked.

Salae nodded in response. ?Yes, it?s been awhile since I seen Jaina.?

Ineza nodded in agreement she was looking forward to seeing the young Jedi again. ?When do we leave??

?In two hours, Corran will be returning with us to help with the escort. I?m not sure why they left without one in the first place.? Gavin answered.

Salae nodded wondering why Leia asked for them to come immediately. ?What?s going on anyways??

Gavin hesitated before making his decision, he wasn?t sure if he could tell them, then again they deserve to know since he?ll be there when they land. He took a deep breath and plunged before he retracted his

 

Great post, Falcon! I look forward to helping you ultilize Salae and Ineza's full talents

 

oh and I am looking forward to you helping me with this too. its going to be fun. thanks for the feedback

 

<rubs hands together gleefully and mischievously>

 

oh this should be fun I am thinking about another prank to pull but I need your permission first

 

Ask away.. I'll be up for awhile..

 

you know the prank Jag Fel came up with well I was thinking you want to see Fey'lya go balistic if you get my meaning

 

Know it? Of course I know it..

 

I think it would so hilarious if Anakin decided to do something like that don't you think??

 

The question is, though, would he ask for certain assistance
