The doctors had said she could never carry a child. They said she would never even carry the child through the first month if she did happen to become pregnant. Yet here she sat, at three months pregnant. Sabe couldn’t be any happier. Even if her love was at war. Even if there was the potential danger of miscarriage. Sabe was determined to have the child, and she wouldn’t fail.
But there was still that lingering sadness as she sat in the palace garden. It seemed that she had been just like this less than a year ago. Waiting in the garden for her love to come home from war safely. But her true love had come and swept her off her feet. Sabe couldn’t help but wish that Obi-Wan wasn’t a Jedi Knight, that he was with her now and left the fighting to someone else.
Shortly after Sabe had returned from Coruscant, the clone force had begun its attack again. This time they were striking the Inner Rim worlds. The Jedi Knights had been called upon by the Chancellor to fight. The Republic seemed to be collapsing and on the verge of civil war. Obi-Wan had said they couldn’t let that happen.
Sabe sighed and massaged her womb. She had wanted to stay in Coruscant, and she did for a few months, living in an apartment not far from the Temple. Depa had arranged for her to possibly stay when they learned of her condition, but then they had been called to war and she had been sent back to Naboo.
It seemed that every time she found stability, something came and knocked the ground out from under her feet. Another regret was that they hadn’t married. With a possible threat to the Jedi, Sabe and Obi-Wan had been advised that any official marriage could be used as a leverage against them. Sabe could be used to get to the Jedi, so it was best that their relationship remain anonymous. If only the galaxy would content itself with peace. Sabe felt a dread coming in the future, and she constantly prayed for Obi-Wan’s safety. And the safety of the galaxy.
"There You Are" ~ Martina McBride
There You Are
There you are in the early morning light
There you are in the quiet words I pray
I’ve been blessed by the simple happiness
Of the perfect love we’ve made
Every time I turn around
When I’m lost and when I’m found
Like an angel standing guard
There you are
Every time I take a breath
And when I forget to breathe
You’re watching over me
There you are
When I’m looking for the light
In the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star
There you are
There you are standing in a crowded room
There you are
The Earth and I’m the moon
My desire is to stand by the fire
That burns inside of you
Every time I turn around
When I’m lost and when I’m found
Like an angel standing guard
There you are
Every time I take a breath
And when I forget to breathe
You’re watching over me
There you are
When I’m looking for the light
In the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star
There you are
