43-Bloodline
(Song starts here; I'm sorry in advance)
(y/n)'s POV
It didn't stop.
Not once did the bleeding stop.
And I had to come face to face with the hardest news I've ever had to endure.
My baby was dead.
"You said everything was okay." I cried in an almost accusing way as I hugged my knees to my chest while I sat on the hospital bed, covered by a blanket. The clothes I originally had on were ruined and tossed in the trash, so I was currently in a hospital gown.
"Miscarriages are more common than you think in the first trimester, especially this early on. A lot of things can go wrong in a short amount of time." The doctor spoke but I could hardly bring myself to look at him. I don't know why, but I blamed him. I was here just a few hours ago, how could he not notice that something was wrong. His explanation felt like bullshit.
My eyes were puffy, my cheeks were stained with tears, and the one person I needed the most wasn't here with me, "Did you call him?" I asked Piett, ignoring the doctors response. I was staring straight ahead at nothing. It hurt to move, it hurt to breathe.
I heard my friend sigh as he placed a hand on my shoulder, "I did, I haven't been able to reach him, but I'll try again." He gave me a gentle squeeze and left the room. Leaving me alone with the doctor and Ellie.
"Are you okay sweetie?" She asked as she sat on the bed and pulled me into a hug. The moment she asked if I was okay, I broke. Completely fucking broke. I sobbed into her shoulder, because I wasn't okay, not even close to being okay. I already fell in love with my baby, I was already picking names. I was already imagining them having the same eyes as him, that same beautiful crystal blue. Now I have nothing but a broken heart and the feeling of being incomplete.
Why did this have to happen to me; what did I do to deserve this?
"I'm so sorry." She whispered as she brushed her hands through my hair in an effort to soothe me while I continued breaking down in her arms.
"Dear can you go get her some water, she needs to stay hydrated or she'll get sick again." The doctor asked Ellie kindly who nodded in response.
Ellie pulled from the hug and looked me in the eyes, "I'll be right back okay? And don't worry; your secret is safe with me." She smiled sadly as she left the room and I leaned my back on the bed so my head could hit the pillow. Tears were falling slowly down my cheeks, I've never felt a pain like this before, it was damn near unbearable. All the dreams I had, were now gone. All it took was one moment.. one moment and my baby was gone.
The doctor came to my side and he started setting up an IV. I lifted my hand to wipe away my tears, "What are you doing?" I questioned, I'm no doctor, but with a miscarriage, I don't think an IV is necessary.
He half-smiled, "I'm just going to give you antibiotics so there's no infection," He wiped my arm and placed the IV in quickly causing me to wince at the slight pain, "Sorry," He sighed as he pressed a syringe into the IV and pushed the contents into my blood stream.
Almost immediately after injection, it started to hurt like hell, "Ow stop it burns," I cried as I tried pulling away but he held my arm down as he pushed the rest in, making it hurt even more, "Why does it burn so muc-" I stopped speaking when I felt myself becoming woozy. I opened my eyes the best I could to glare at him, that wasn't antibiotics, "What did you-" I couldn't even finish my sentence, I was beginning to have tunnel vision.
I heard his voice and it sounded muffled and almost like it was far away, "It's just an anesthetic," I could hear him moving around and I was doing my best to stay awake, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't let you have his baby," What; did he deliberately cause me to lose my baby? I tried to move, I wanted to strangle him,"I was gonna leave it at that, but judging by that ring you have on, the relationship is deeper than I thought," He sighed, "This could happen again. You have no idea what it could mean by bringing out the child of Darth Vader, you're too blinded by whatever you have with him to understand." How dare he.. how dare he do this to me, he had no right!
I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted to kill him. But everything was beginning to slowly drift away.
"So, this here," He held something in my eye shot. Even though it was blurry, I could tell it was another syringe, "It's potassium chloride, it'll induce cardiac arrest, I'll inject it once you fall asleep so I promise there will be no pain." I felt his hand on my arm and I tried to tug away, but I was too weak, my head fell weakly to the side. He was going to inject that to kill me and I couldn't stop it, "I'm trying to protect this galaxy and my family, from an evil bloodline of tyranny. Please understand."
My body was finally giving in to the drug that I was trying so hard to fight. I did my best to look up into his eyes one more time with a hateful glare, "He's going to kill you." I forced out in a choked out whisper as my eyes became heavy and the darkness overtook me. That last thing I saw, was him bringing the syringe near my IV.
(Song Ends)
Pietts POV
I nodded as I gazed upon the hologram of Anakin, "She's doing okay physically," I sighed sadly, "Just not emotionally. Ellie and I are doing our best, but she really needs you."
Suddenly the door to the room opened and Ellie came out, "I'm going to get her some water." She informed me and I nodded as she walked down the hall towards the water coolers.
I brought my gaze back to my best friend, "She knows, but I trust her." I told him hoping it would be something he was okay with. When Ellie found out, she was stunned. But then she admitted she had a small suspicion because they were always together.
Anakin nodded, "If you trust her, then I trust her." He spoke low and I could hear the sadness in his voice regarding the heart breaking situation.
"So when will you be back?" I questioned and he talked off screen for a moment before bringing his attention back to me.
"I'm already on my way. The rebel base was abandoned when we got there so this whole trip was for nothing," He sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, "So I'm not far, just tell her I love her and I'll be there soon okay?"
I nodded and before he could hang up, I had one more thing to say, "Sir?" I gained his attention again right before he was about to end the call, his eyes looked up and met mine, "I'm so sorry for your loss." My voice cracked slightly in the end. I was hurting for both of them, even I was starting to get attached to the idea of their baby.
I could tell my words hurt him. During the whole conversation we just had, it was obvious that he was trying to keep his composure and focus on (y/n)'s well-being, but he was just as hurt. He nodded slowly and wiped a tear from his eye as he ended the hologram. I sighed, seeing both of my best friends like this, was too much.
I put away the portable device and opened the door to the medical room. The doctor stood up quickly from hovering over (y/n) and I narrowed my eyes at his suspicious actions, "What are you doing?" I questioned him as I walked over to the bed to see that she was sleeping.
He shook his head quickly, "Nothing. I was just about to give her antibiotics." He held up a syringe and I gave him a confused look.
"Why? She doesn't have any infectio-"
"Okay I have the water," Ellie came in with a sigh, "I swear, there are too many clones here, they hog everything." She walked over to (y/n) and realized she was sleeping and gave her a sad look, "Poor thing." She sighed again as she rubbed the back of her hand on her friends cheek.
The doctor spoke up, "You can put the water on the counter," He pointed and she nodded as she walked over there and he began to grab (y/n)'s IV, "I'm putting this to make sure she doesn't get one, Lord Vader would have a fit if she got sick wouldn't he?" He let out a dry, nervous laugh.
I nodded, "Yeah I guess so."
Right when he was about to press the medicine into her system, he was stopped, "Don't you dare put anything in her." Ellie shouted causing both the man and I to jump. He stood up and pulled away from (y/n) while looking up at Ellie, his eyes widened when he saw what she had in her hands.
"What are these?" She asked with venom in her tone as she held up two bottles of pills.
I glanced over at him and he was visibly shaken, "Um those are- vitamins." He spoke rather unconvincingly.
She narrowed her eyes, "My sister is a doctor and I know perfectly well that these two combinations of medications are used for medically induced abortions," She threw the bottles down and the smacked against the floor and my eyes widened as I went for the blaster on my belt in case he tried to run, "Did you- did you give her these?" She asked with utter disbelief. My stomach felt like it did a front flip, he did this to her, he killed their baby on purpose.. Why the hell would he do something like that?
The man was silent as he looked nervously from Ellie, to me, then to (y/n).
I eyed the syringe in his hand while he tightened his grip on it, "What's really in that syringe?" I questioned with anger in my tone as I began to slowly pull the blaster from my belt.
He moved quickly to press it into her IV, but I was quicker. I shot him in the arm and he yelled as he dropped the contents out of his hand and he fell onto the floor, gripping his arm in pain. The syringe fell and shattered against the cold floor.
"Check on her Elle." I instructed her and she nodded as she rushed to (y/n)'s side to make sure he didn't give her anything life threatening. I stepped towards the man who was cowering on the ground, "What the fuck is wrong with you that makes you think it's okay to a force a miscarriage on a woman." I seethed, I was beyond pissed.
He glared up at me, "It was his baby!" He shouted in defense like he thought that mattered to me, I know the good in Anakin, that baby would have been everything that was good about him, "I was doing the galaxy a fav-"
I cut him off as I pressed my boot to his neck so he would choke, "Don't you dare say favor. The only reason I didn't give you a fatal shot is because he is on his way and I'm going to let him decide on what he wants to do to you." I growled and his eyes were widening, "Why do you look surprised; did you really think you could fuck with Darth Vader and there wouldn't be repercussions? I almost feel sorry for you." Almost, but not really. As soon as he finds out what really happened.. all hell is going to break loose. And this man is going to wish that I did kill him.
"Piett her heart rate is really low and she won't wake up." Ellie spoke in a low panic.
I stepped harder on the mans neck, "What did you give her; why isn't she waking up?"
"Just-" He tired speaking but couldn't die to the force of my boot, I loosened my hold a little to allow him to talk, "It was just an anesthetic."
Ellie sighed with relief, "She'll be fine then, a low heart rate is normal for anesthesia."
I nodded, "Good." Then there was the sound of an alarm, an alarm that was all too familiar to me. That was a lot quicker than I thought it would be. I glanced down at the man and judging by the horrified look he had, he knew what the alarm meant as well, I smiled "He's here."
(a/n Sorry for the angst, but this is what I had planned from the beginning, I love drama. I hope you liked this chapter and I'm super excited to write the next one which will be posted later after I do a few things first! 💕)
