Sam Carter's Past Life

Chapter 14: Padawan

Nomi had always caught her husband worrying too much over his Jedi Master, but this time she did not scold him for it. Instead, she romantically sat in his lap and kissed him on the lips. She frowned, "You don't want to kiss me anymore?"

"Sorry, my love."

"You aren't a sorry person, Brandon. You are the most loving person I know." She ran her fingers through her husband's hair. He finally looked at her. She smiled, "that is better. You just need to take a break from it all. She's on Dinotopia, and she's there in the time period she should have been."

"Yes she is, and I thought Amanda would not have pulled it off." He paused, "I hope both Jack and our Daughter could handle it when she has Jolinar in her."

"They both will make it. They may be a bit overwhelmed over it at first, but they will do fine. As long as Her Majesty is still in you, then everything will turn out grand."

His eyes glowed, and she said inside him, "Yes, I am still in your husband, and he is driving me crazy, overly worrying about this Carter. I know this isn't easy for him, but he shouldn't be so uptight."

"I know. I wanted to scold him harshly over it a moment ago, but I thought love is what he needs from me the most."

"Yes, he does. You do the loving on him, and I'll do the ass busting... if he continues."

Brandon said, "You both know that she wanted to run back to Earth just about every five minutes while on Coruscant. At first, she wanted to do so, shortly after she got on Tython. Sadly, it took Cassandra getting hit by all this mess..."

"Baby, she got hit on day one."

"The time Sam got the sadistic mental condition in her head if she realized what it was about during her training to be a Jedi Knight. I know that Cassandra saw it in her the moment she met up with her during her training. What I am flabbergasted about is why Master Tumok did not see it in her."

She nodded as an answer and said, "I'm not. If she told anyone, then no one would be alive today, and we may have never met, have fallen in love, and got married."

"I still believe that telling her that they were sisters would have done a lot for her. She was suffering far too much, and if she had someone special to cling to — it would have made all the difference for her. He gave a big sigh, "in all, I know now, I have to seriously agree with you, but for some reason, Cassandra thought better not to until now, but I believe she would have recovered a lot sooner."

Nomi said seriously, "Look at me, love." When he did, she continued, "in our own timeline, she never truly recovered. I was hoping in all the reality hopping, we have done, she would have lost that mental conditioning after you trained her when she was a teenager, but it somehow followed her. It's still doing so right now. It seems that all of them out there are being hit by it just to go after..."

"Who is the real one? Something more elusive is going on to have so many realities."

"I know, baby. It's a lot for me to handle, too. If it were not for this Satele Shan to talk to us on a regular basis, I don't know what to do next in all that has been going on. The more we get into all the ancient Jedi Knight business, the more complex it gets. When in the hell will all this mess make sense?"

Her Majesty said through Brandon once more, "I'm sorry for all of you to have gotten involved. Ituor is right, all of you shouldn't have gotten involved in our affairs, but because most of Earth are Jedi Knights..."

She smiled, "We're doing great. I'm more concerned about my husband and Amanda. Even though she is a young adult now, she is doing so much more than she should."
