In the treatment area, Vokara Che went to work trying to put Anakin into a healing trance, but the young Jedi fought her. He didn't calm down until he felt Madame Jocasta's hand on his forehead.
"Ssh, child, let Master Vokara heal you."
He calmed down but didn't close his eyes. He moaned while tossing and turning the fever going higher.
Master Vokara tried again to get him to sleep but Anakin wouldn't close his eyes. She contacted Master Yoda and it was decided to take him to the hospital. If Anakin's fever wouldn't drop, he would die.
He fought the medics caring for him on the way to the hospital and only Madame Jocasta got him to relax a little.
The doctor who would be caring for him put restraints on Anakin's wrists and ankles.
"Wow...." the doctor who was an older Twi-lek said, "This boy is a fighter! He must be one powerful Jedi."
"Yes, he is," Obi-Wan sagte then turned to the doctor, "Are these restraints necessary?"
"I don't want to be thrown across the room again and neither does my staff. I know it looks cruel, but it's for Anakin's own good. He's Wird angezeigt symptoms of a severe emotional breakdown. If he succumbs to the full extent of his grief he could be dangerous. We'll administer medications to bring the fever down, but the best thing for the boy is sleep and alot of it. The sedatives should keep him asleep for hours oder longer."
All the rest of the night and for the Weiter two days, Obi-Wan, Sinube, Plo and Madame Jocasta kept vigil Von his bedside. Padme Amidala had rushed to the hospital after hearing how Anakin's condition had worsened.
Masters Plo and Sinube came out after leaving Madame Jocasta with Anakin. Obi-Wan had to return to the Jedi Temple.
"Senator, there is no need to remain here," Master Plo said, "Anakin is asleep and being well cared for. I know Du are a close friend of his, but your presence her is awkward."
Padme glared at him feeling bad since she liked him and Sinube too.
"You Liebe him, don't Du child?" Sinube asked gesturing her to sit nearby.
Padme's eyes widened and she swallowed hard. There was no fooling a Jedi Master, especially one of Sinube's age.
"Yes," she whispered.
Plo turned and frowned, but didn't say anything.
Padme took a deep breath. She felt comfortable enough to tell both of them her and Anakin's secret. It was possible that she would become a widow and she didn't care if the Jedi Council knew.
"Padme," Sinube said, "Tell us. Tell us everything. I sense Du are carrying a great burden. One that Du share with Anakin."
Plo nodded and sat down nearby.
Padme's brown eyes welled with tears and she began to speak.
"Yes, I Liebe Anakin very much. I have loved him for a long time, but that's not all...."
"What is it, child?" Sinube asked taking her hands in his.
"Anakin and I....are married and have been for awhile."
"Married?" Plo asked, "For how long?"
"We were married on Naboo after the first battle of Geonosis. I know it was wrong to keep it a secret. Please....Master Plo, Master Sinube, don't tell the Jedi Council. It would break Anakin's heart!"
"He will be expelled from the Jedi Order." Plo whispered feeling bad for Anakin since he really cared about his young friend.
"Please, don't tell them. I think Master Kenobi knows but he won't tell. He cares about Anakin too much, but Master Yoda wouldn't understand."
Plo rubbed his chin and looked over at Sinube. He took a deep breath and spoke.
"We will not speak of this again, unless Du want us to. We Liebe Anakin too and don't want to hurt him anymore than he's going through right now. Du young ones will decide when the time is right to tell the Council."
"Thank you," she sagte as she hugged both of them.
Madame Jocasta came out a few Minuten later seeing Padme with Masters Plo and Sinube.
"Hello, dear. What brings Du here?" she asked.
Padme looked over at Plo and Sinube.
"Jocasta," Sinube said, "Sit down. We have something to tell Du about Anakin, and it concerns Senator Amidala too..."
A few Minuten later, Jocasta sat stunned but like her two friends, she would keep the secret.
"Child," she sagte to Padme, "Go sit with him. He needs Du with him."
Padme fought tears as she nodded and gave Jocasta a quick hug.
She walked into the room and let the tears fall as she saw the pale face of her husband.
"Ani," she whispered as she carassed his face, "I'm here and I'm not leaving. Masters Plo and Sinube know about us. So does Madame Jocasta. Don't worry, they aren't saying anything to the Jedi Council. They Liebe Du nearly as much as I do. All they care about is Du getting better. I know Ahoska dying is why Du are sick. Du loved her as a friend and little sister. I saw it in the way Du two reacted to each other."
She sat on the side of the bett and took his hands in hers.
"Don't die, Ani. I can't live without you. Just hold on..."
A week went Von and Anakin opened his eyes. The first person he saw was Master Sinube.
"Well, hello sleepy-head," he sagte smiling, "It's nice to see those blue eyes of yours open. How are Du feeling?"
Anakin just looked at him in a blank way. Sinube helped him to a sitting position a bit worried until Anakin blinked his eyes and saw Sinube's worried expression.
"Hi," he sagte his voice a little hoarse.
"You had me worried, youngling," Sinube sagte as he patted Anakin's face.
"Where am I?" Anakin asked as he looked around, "This doesn't look the the Jedi Temple. Where is everyone? Where is Ahsoka? She would be here if she knew I was sick. Is she still missing?"
Sinube swallowed hard knowing Anakin didn't remember anything of the past few weeks.
"It's a form of hysterical amnesia," the doctor sagte to Sinube, Obi-Wan, Jocasta, Plo, Windu and Yoda a few hours later.
"Heal, the boy will?" Yoda asked.
"He should with time. However, he needs to deal with the grief."
"He cried at the memorial," Obi-Wan said.
"A few tears doesn't clear the soul," Yoda answered, "In turmoil young Anakin is."
"Master Yoda is right," sagte the doctor, "Anakin will not get well until he fully deals with Ahsoka's death, and that means a total emotional breakdown. A good hard cry will get rid of all the negative feelings he has bottled up inside."
"Here, child,try to eat something," Madame Jocasta sagte while later as she tried to feed Anakin some soup.
Anakin shook his head and asked,"Where's Ahsoka? Why hasn't she come to see me?"
Jocasta swallowed hard and sat the bowl down on a bedside table.
"Anakin.....Ahsoka is dead. She's never coming back here. We had her memorial two weeks ago. Du passed out during it."
"No," Anakin sagte as he frowned, "She's still missing. When I get well, I'm going out to look for her and I don't care what the Jedi Council says! She's my Padawan and my responsibility!"
"Child," Jocasta sagte laying a hand against his face," She's gone.....forever."
Anakin's frown grew and he layed back down, his mouth in a near pout. He turned away from Jocasta and she saw him trembling and knew he was crying.
"She's still alive!" he cried out and pulled the blankets over his head.........
"Ssh, child, let Master Vokara heal you."
He calmed down but didn't close his eyes. He moaned while tossing and turning the fever going higher.
Master Vokara tried again to get him to sleep but Anakin wouldn't close his eyes. She contacted Master Yoda and it was decided to take him to the hospital. If Anakin's fever wouldn't drop, he would die.
