The girl was looking up at the person, who she knew had been with her the whole time she has been here. The one thing that had caught her eye, was how blue this guy's eyes are. Then, she was trying to figure out where she has seen this person before.
" Hey. Am so glad to see you awake." Anakin smiled at the girl.
" Padawan Skywalker .... Oh my ... Let me go and get Master Rumrunner." The Padawan Healer looked at the couple and saw the girl was awake, before rushing out the room to get the Master Healer.
" Our Chief Jedi Healer is Master Rumrunner. She is really great at making people better. Oh, sorry. Am Anakin Skywalker. You can tell me your name later, when you get better. Look who is awake, Master?" Anakin looked to see the Master Jedi Healer come into the room, followed by her Padawan Learner.
" So, are you going to take out the tube?" Anakin asked, as he stepped back and watched the Jedi Master look over the girl, who was looking at him with a scared look on her face.
" Yes, we will. It's going to be ok. There isn't anything to be scared of. You are going to be ok and tomorrow morning, with the help of Anakin here, we can get you up and walking around." The older lady turned some and smiled at Anakin.
" Sure. If you want me to, I can bring you something to eat for lunch or dinner." Anakin smiled at both the Jedi Master and the girl.
" That sounds like a great idea. Ok. Now, lets see about this tube. Oh, Anakin. I need for you to leave the room, please. We have to put her to sleep to get the tube out." Master Rumrunner looked at Anakin.
" Ok, just get me, when you are done. You will be fine and I will be here, when you wake up." Anakin came back to the bed, took the girl's hand and held it, for a couple of seconds. He gave it a gentle squeeze, before leaving the room.
Thirty minutes later, Anakin was back, like he promised and was sound asleep, like he had been doing for the last two weeks. Like before, he was awakened by a light squeeze of a hand in his hand. Anakin sat up and saw the girl awake again.
" Hey, again. Am glad to see you awake and this time, without a tube. Sorry, that I didn't get to introduce myself. Am Anakin . . . Anakin Skywalker." Anakin reached out and took the girl's hand.
" I know. I am Vanessa ,but friends call me Nessie." The girl introduced herself, but her voice was in a whisper.
" Well, it is very good to meet you, Vanessa. You should go back to sleep. It's only after midnight." Anakin brushed a strain of hair that had fallen into the girl's face.
" Please call me Nessie. Oh, really? Ok. That sounds great, because I do feel sleepy. It's the real kind, not the drug kind of sleep that they had me in. Nighty night." Nessie begin to yawn and her eyes were starting to close.
" Anakin, Anakin. Wake up. It's time for breakfast." Obi-Wan came up to Anakin and put his hand on the young man's shoulder and shook him very lightly.
" What? Am awake. Oh, it's you. Shhh, we don't want to wake up, Nessie." Anakin sat up in his chair.
" Who is Nessie? You mean she is out of her coma?" Obi-Wan said, as he looked closer at Nessie and saw that the tube was gone.
" Yes. She woke up last night. Morning, Nessie. How are you feeling?" Anakin looked down and saw Nessie looking at him.
" Morning, Anakin. Am feeling better, except my throat hurts just a little. Um . . . Hello." Nessie looked next to Anakin and saw an older man standing next to him.
" Oh, hello. I am Obi-Wan. It's great to see you awake. You had my Padawan worried and welcome to the Temple." Obi-Wan smiled down at Nessie.
" Thank you, Master Obi-Wan. It is very good to meet you. Am sorry to have him so worry over me. Oh, my name is Vanessa, but friends call me Nessie." Nessie said, as she smiled back at the Jedi Master.
" Um... Master, you did say something about breakfast. Would you like me to get you something?" Anakin asked, as he started for the door.
" I just want some tea, please." Nessie looked over to door to see Anakin looking at Obi-Wan, with a jealous look on his face.
" Ok. I will bring you a cup of tea. Come on, Master." Anakin said, before walking out the door.
" He is right. It is time for breakfast. Well, I hope that you have a great day and hope that you can leave here soon." Obi-Wan chuckled, before he headed to the door.
" Thank you, Master. I too hope I can leave soon." Nessie said ,with a small yawn.
Obi-Wan nodded and followed Anakin to the lift, where he was met with a jealous Padawan.
" You know you are not allowed to have those kinds of feelings for her, Anakin." Obi-Wan said ,as they step onto the lift.
" I know, Master, but there is something about her, that has my heart in her hands." Anakin said as Obi-Wan pushed the button.
" I just didn't hear you say that. Well, anyway, just be careful that the Council doesn't know how you feel about her." Obi-Wan said, just as the lift doors opened up.
" Master, um, isn't that your brother?" Anakin asked, as they stepped off the lift and saw Master Lucas Nightrider.
" Yes, it is. I wonder what he is doing here." Obi-Wan mumbled to himself.
They walked into the dining hall and got their breakfast, before finding a table and sat down. It was an hour later, when Anakin walked into the medical center and saw Nessie sitting in a chair.
" Hey. Here is your tea. Am glad to see that you are up and out of the bed." Anakin came over to Nessie and handing her the tea.
" Thanks. Well, if things go well today, I will get to leave here. There is one problem; I don't have a place to go." Nessie said, before taking a sip of the tea.
" There is a place where you can stay, until the Council figures out what to do with you." Anakin said, as the medical droid came into the room.
" Well, I do remember now, that am here to meet up with my new Jedi Master." Nessie took another sip of the tea.
" Sure. Whenever you are ready." Anakin smiled at Nessie.
It was eight hours later and for the first time, over two weeks, Anakin said good night to Nessie, before going to his quarters and getting a good night's sleep. Nessie got into her bed and fell sound asleep.
