New Beginnings

Chapter 33: The Infirmary

Maya POV

I woke up with a sore head, feeling dizzy. I looked around blearily with hazy vision before I blinked a few times to get my eyesight back to normal. Where am I? I wondered and continued to try and take in my surroundings. I found myself lying in bed that wasn't my own and it wasn't in a spare room at Marcus house. I honestly had no idea where I was.  I looked around the room and saw Skywalker sitting on a chair, he was asleep and he was snoring a bit.

"Skywalker? Wake up." I said in an attempt to rouse him, however he continued to sleep. "Earth to Skywalker! Come in Skywalker!" I hissed, but still nothing. He wasn't waking up. I moved across the bed to get a little closer to Skywalker. I was just close enough to reach him, so I leaned out of the bed and slapped him! His eyes were wide as he woke up with a shock and no doubt some pain from me slapping him.

"What in the world?!" He shook his head and looked at me.

"Wakey, wakey Skywalker." I said giving a small smile. I couldn't help chuckling as I saw how red his face was from me slapping him and the faint lines of my hand print on his cheek.

"Why did you slap me Maya?" He asked rubbing his cheek to get rid of the pain.

"Because you were asleep and I was trying to wake you up, but you wouldn't."

"So you hit me?" He asked.

"Yep." I nodded my head. "Sorry, but you were annoying me with your snoring, Skywalker."

"I was not snoring Maya. I couldn't have been, I don't snore.

"Yes you do Anakin, you are right beside me and I could hear you snoring clear as a bell." I smirked and he rubbed his cheek again.

"That was sore Maya."

"Aw poor Skywalker." I mocked.

He raised his eyebrows at me. "You know you shouldn't be the one to talk about sleeping, you've been doing that since the mission yesterday."

"Yesterday?!" I asked surprised.

"Yeah." He nodded, then I noticed my arm started to hurt. I leaned my head back against the pillow and groaned in pain. "Your arm hurts?" I nodded. "Do you me to get a medical dro-"

"No Skywalker." I cut him off. "I don't need one."

"Maya if your in pain the medical droid should come."

"No, I'll be fine." He sighed in defeat.

"Ok then Maya."

"Where are we anyway?"

"In the halls of healing."

"In the Jedi Temple?" I asked surprised, he merely nodded his head.

"How did I get here?"

"I flew you to the Resolute then we came back to the Temple and Brough you here. So you could rest and recover."

"Oh I see." I said sighing. "When can I leave?"

"Not until your better Maya."

"But I am better Skywalker, now I want to leave." I argued.

"No Maya, you're hurt so you're not leaving." I sighed and rolled my eyes, turning away from Anakin. "I'm just glad to see that your ok Maya." Anakin mumbled I looked at him again. "I was worried about you Maya."

"You're always worried about me Skywalker, you're like an overprotective father. Always worried that I will get hurt."

"Well you did get hurt this time!" He snapped before shaking his head. "Jay was worried about you as well, you know. .....You're lucky to be alive now Maya." He murmured, sombrely.
