Hurt. Padme hurt so much, she’d wake up in agony feeling as though everything in her body was on fire. She’d be fine one moment and then the next she’d be laying in her handmaiden’s arms screaming in pain for the next five minutes, crying as she begged for it to be over. She even once found herself on the floor of Bail’s office once with her concerned friend standing over top of her. She even found her dreams to be unusual and painful to watch. Some even being her watching as Anakin gets pulled from lava on a far away planet. But she didn’t speak of it to hardly anyone outside of those she most trusted. Not even Anakin knew, as he was already stressed over the dreams that were plaguing him at night now. But the night she woke up standing in the middle of her apartment one hand on her baby bump, the other in the air with different niknaks she owned floating all around her feeling and hearing so many different things. She knew she had to do something. Even if her husband would hate her for it.
Now Padme sat waiting with Elle in the sitting room of her apartment, elbows propped up on the table with her face in her hands feeling so unsure with herself and her decision to turn to Obi Wan for guidance. She had already asked Anakin when he told her of his dreams if they should consult Obi Wan, as she trusts and respects him greatly but Anakin had told her no. Believing it would just add more fuel to the fire, so she backed down on that subject and promised not to get him involved, but now she had broken that promise when she sent Obi Wan a message that simply read ‘ emergency. meet me at my apartment don’t tell Anakin ‘. But she was starting to get worried and she only seemed to getting worse as time went on. Even her medical droid Emdee was worried, could she really be dying? That she could deal with, the idea of dying had never scared her it was the other possibility that terrified her, the child could be...
When Padme saw Obi Wan enter her apartment , Elle quickly stood up and helped Padme up a new common occurrence that happened nowadays. Once they were both out, they both rushed over to the jedi. Elle keeping a gentle hand on her back. Seeing her old friend brought a sense of both relief of dread over her. On the one hand, she knew if anyone could possibly help it could be him. But also if he knew Anakin was the father... what would happen to him? She glanced over at Elle, and her neutral expression turned into a very small smile. For a moment Padme was confused until she recalled something Elle had told her when they first sat down. ‘ Just because she would confide in him about her problem doesn’t mean he needs to know about where the problem came from. ‘ Padme smiled back before turning back to Obi Wan.
“ I hope I didn’t alarm you too much, I just needed to make sure you were coming... I’ve just grown so fearful- “ she paused before shaking her head “come, please sit down and there's so much to say... “
