"Your majesty let me come with you."

"There's no danger, the fighting's over.." Odessa recounted hurriedly and blankly, her fastened pace rushing towards her flighter parked stationary on the veranda ".. and this is personal."

Her expression was expressionless and vacant, a canvas of stillness that was devoid of emotion. Odessa's eyes held no light but a chilling state that reflected the depth of numbness that chilled the air. The corners of her lips were in a neutral line, neither smiling nor frowning, it created an unsettling sense of emptiness. She caught the sharp sight of her body in the reflective lens of the vehicle, the wavering twin of her own figure making her shudder. Odessa was dressed tightly in a darkened pair of black linen leggings with a navy throw covering her stomach, her darkened hair wrapped carelessly yet firmly into a braid trailed onto her shoulder, golden clips stapling between each few strands of hair. She hardly recognised the women in the reflection, she looked like herself, but felt like a completely other person.

He followed beside her closely, catching how she kept composing herself to deep breaths "As you wish my lady- but I strongly disagree."

She needed to do this alone. She needed to settle her mind, there was no way Anakin had fallen to the dark side. Odessa knew it was reckless of her to rush off in such a heightened time, but her heart yawned to him, to feel him beside her, to know it was all lies. To settle her nightmares "I can perfectly look after myself captain- besides I have 3PO to keep me company on the journey."

Obi-Wan's words still played knowingly and painfully in her mind, a reminder of the darkened shadows threatening to corner her completely. But it had to be a misunderstanding-Anakin would never.

The droid looked up nervously before trailing hurriedly behind the pregnant woman who stepped onto her flighter, up onto the ramp and towards the cockpit "Oh dear."

Only when she sat down into the pilots seat did she allow herself to take a deep shaky breath, she was in this alone, and that was the way it had to be. She still couldn't quite grasp how everything was seemingly threatening to slip through her and Anakin's fingers, after everything they had been through- she had faced, she deserved her happy ending and chance of normality, with Anakin by her side. And the fact it was being threatened completely, terrified her.

With the fall of the Jedi republic and rise of the galactic republic, she needed Anakin more than ever, the harsh remains of the once just society was enough for her to know it was her time. The time to go off and raise their child in Eris, just how they had always desired. After all she had worked so hard to secure the safety of the galaxy, she wasn't going to allow her ending to go crumbling down as easy.

"Your majesty- is everything alright?"

Odessa switched on the flighter, pulling the handle towards her as it moved away from the surface and into the atmosphere. She turned towards the droid with an apprehensive smile , staring back at her husbands droid which had stayed by her side for a few years now "Everything's fine 3PO, everything's going to be just fine."
