Seeds of the Future--Epilogue
May. 2nd, 2005 08:14 pmYes, folks, we have sadly come to the end of "Seeds of the Future."
For now.
"Seeds" was so relatively popular (for my stuff anyway), I've decided to continue the story but only AFTER I see ROTS. Then I'll start writing again and will start posting "Seeds of the Future II" as soon as I can.
Epilogue
"Everything seems to be fine, Senator Amidala," the Emdee droid said in his dispassionate voice. "At this stage of development, I can tell you more about the pregnancy..."
"Wait," Padmé said, holding up her hand. "You can tell me if I'm going to have a boy or a girl?"
"Yes, among other things you might want..."
"No, no, no, no," Padmé said. "I'd rather it be a surprise. I've never liked spoilers. All I need to know is if my baby is healthy. Otherwise, don't tell me a thing."
"Are you certain of that Senator?"
"Absolutely certain," Padmé said with a wide smile. "Am I free to go?"
"Yes. Please return in three weeks."
Padmé changed out of her thin examination gown and layered on the velvet robes that hid her emerging belly, then headed back toward the Senate building. Mon Mothma and Bail Organa needed her support yet again. She owed what she could do to help them in the meantime.
She was surprisingly at peace on this still spring day. More than four months along, the morning sickness had thankfully subsided and she could feel the baby moving from time to time in her belly. Actually, the baby seemed to be moving more and more often, kicking and pushing. She didn't appreciate it when it felt like the baby was jumping up and down on her bladder. He was a rambunctious one, like her dear husband.
Gazing up at the cerulean sky, her thoughts drifted back to the odd vision she experienced in the submersion tank. She'd seen a boy and a girl...which one was she going to have? Were they truly her future children or a product of her own imagination?
Time would tell.
