Maul walked into the house to see Owen and Vilcia in the main room of the house. Vilcia looked at Maul as if she was trying to confirm something. Feral had explained what had happened with Savage and Vilcia wanted nothing more than to see Savage pay.
"Where's Obi-wan?" Maul calmly asked
"We have a doctor making sure he and the baby are alright. They're in his room right now." Vilcia responded and she watched as he started down the hallway. "Maul, what happened to Savage?"
"He's dead." Maul said after he stopped and looked over his shoulder at her. His eyes were cold and sharp. Vilcia had broken her eye contact as she fished something out of her pocket.
"You had dropped this when you were outside." Vilcia walked over to Maul and handed it to him. "Your mother said to call her back when you know how Obi-wan is."
"Thank you for telling me." Maul sighed and put the comm link in his pocket as he walked down the hall to see Feral guarding the door to Obi-wan's room.
"How is Obi-wan, brother?" Maul asked
"He's woken up and he seems to be fine, the doctor is just about finished hopefully." Feral reported to Maul before going silent for a moment. "Brother, there are things we must talk about soon. About what happened when Obi-wan was in Dooku's hold."
"From what I've heard, Obi-wan's forgiven you for what you did Feral." Maul said reaching for the door handle.
"The baby might not be yours." Feral quickly said as Maul twisted the handle. Maul let go of the handle and glared sharply over his shoulder at Feral.
"Excuse me?" Maul snarled and turned to Feral, who was backing up further down the hall.
"He made us rape Obi-wan, but I didn't want to! I didn't want to hurt Obi-wan! It was Savage who made a sick sport out it!" Feral quickly spoke and Maul stopped as he looked to the side with his fist clenched and snarling. After a moment, Maul calmed down.
"I will speak to Obi-wan about this... and if anything you have said is a lie... you will be punished Feral!" Maul snarled at him stomping a foot closer to Feral causing his younger brother to trip as he was moving away from Maul. As Maul saw Feral land on his butt in the ground and look frightened at Maul, Maul could tell, from that action, Feral was telling the truth. Maul knew something terrible was going on, but nothing like this. Not from both of his brothers. Yet everything made sense now.
Could he still go through and raise this child knowing it wasn't his?
Maul walked into the room and saw Obi-wan laying down fully awake on their bed with the doctor checking up on the baby with his mobile equipment. As Maul walked in the doctor actually seemed to be packing up and telling Obi-wan that the baby seemed perfectly fine.
Once the Doctor left, it was only Maul, Obi-wan and his parents. Maul wanted to smile when Obi-wan looked and smiled at him, but he just couldn't smile. Instead, Maul walked over and sat down next to Obi-wan on the bed. Maul watched him with what Obi-wan could describe as sorrow in his eyes. Maul placed a hand on Obi-wan's bare stomach and rubbed it slowly.
"Obi-wan, I need to talk with you alone." Maul's voice had matched his eyes, filled with sorrow.
"Mom, dad, can I talk with Maul alone for a moment?" Obi-wan asked looking at his parents who nodded and quietly left the room. After his parent left, Obi-wan was almost too scared to speak.
"Feral told me everything Obi-wan." Maul started and took his hand off of Obi-wan's stomach. It caused Obi-wan's heart to drop. Obi-wan was absolutely clueless at what he should say.
"He told me what he and Savage did to you." Maul had continued in Obi-wan's silence.
"Don't hurt Feral, Maul!" Was the first thing Obi-wan said in a panic, "He didn't want to do it! He tried fighting against Dooku, but Dooku kept hurting him!"
"It's okay Obi-wan," Maul placed a hand on Obi-wan's cheek, "I'm not going to hurt Feral, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have found out what Savage was doing to you so soon."
"I'm sorry Maul!" Obi-wan started to cry, "I wanted to tell you sooner, but Savage kept saying he was going to hurt the baby if I told anyone!"
Maul pulled Obi-wan into a hug and rubbed his back. "It's alright Obi-wan, it's okay. It's just," Maul paused looking for the right words that would make Obi-wan happy.
"You're not going to leave if the baby's not yours are you?!" Obi-wan panicked from Maul's pause.
"No! No, of course not Obi-wan. It's just I would care for the baby even if it wasn't my brother's. If you want the baby, then I'll be there with you every step of the way to make sure the child is happy and is well protected." Maul finished his sentence and Obi-wan laughed as more tears ran down his face. Obi-wan hugged Maul tightly.
"Thank you! Oh, thank you, Maul!" Obi-wan laughed then kissed Maul.
"No matter who the father is, Obi-wan, I'd be the one raising them with you, which makes me their father as much as the one who simply donated to the life of our wonderful child." Maul kept Obi-wan close to him. Maul then kissed Obi-wan's cheek and stood up.
"Maul? Where are you going?" Obi-wan asked curiously swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
"To tell Feral of how much of a wonderful family we are going to be." Maul purred at Obi-wan and held his hand out. "Want to tell him with me?"
Obi-wan started laughing happily again as he took Maul's hand and stood up from the bed to go and tell Maul's younger brother of the happy news.
