Notes: Written in Nanci’s and Ginchy’s Empress/Consort smutlet series. This one goes with my “Right Past the Heart” piece. It's probably better to read that one first, then this one.
Luke followed the medic as she led him to Mara’s recovery room. He had just gotten the news that his beloved was going to be alright after being shot this morning. In his hands he held a vase of two dozen blue fledoriamn flowers and a stuffed wookee.
An hour ago, Serge had practically dragged him out of the Imperial Palace to get his mind off worrying about Mara. It was no doubt Inga’s idea. Their maid and driver were always in cahoots with each-other.
The elderly man had taken Luke to get caff and a little something to eat. Luke had asked if they could stop so he could get Mara something. They had stopped at a shop where Luke had bought Mara the flowers and stuffed wookiee.
The medic led him down a hall and it was instantly obvious what room was Mara’s; it was the one with the platoon of guards outside the door.
The medic let Luke enter alone with instructions: “Remember, the empress is heavily sedated. Let her rest.”
The sight when he mustered up the courage to palm open the door nearly broke his heart. Mara, lying motionless in the only bed in the room, was hooked up to drips and monitors. She was wearing a pale green medcentre gown that made her look sickly.
She opened her eyes and smiled. She held out her hand. “Luuuuuuke,” she slurred his name.
She wasn’t heavily sedated.
She was drugged out of her kriffing mind.
Luke promptly rushed to her side. “Oh, Mara.” He set the flowers and stuffed wookiee on her bedside table. He took her hand and kissed it as he knelt before her. “I love you with my entire heart. I would be nothing without you.” He rested his forehead on the mattress to compose himself before he could break down.
She slipped her hand out of his grip and touched his hair. “I loooove yooou toooo. I’mmm here.”
He looked up at her. “I know,” he said softly. “I’m here too.” He got up on the chair they had brought in for him.
She looked towards the stuffed wookiee. “Whhaaat’sss thaat?”
Luke blushed. He couldn’t believe in his moment of most vulnerability he had bought her – the empress and the strongest woman in the galaxy – a stuffy. “It’s just some stupid stuffed wookiee.” He set it in the crook of her left arm.
She slowly wrapped her arm around it. “Oooh Luuuuke. I looove it.” She then started to sob.
Luke’s heart jumped to his throat. “Mara? What is it? Should I get a medic?”
“Nooo,” she cried. “It’ss jjusst that I’vve neeeever had a stuuuufffy before.”
Luke felt like crying as well at that very moment. Tears leaked out of his eyes. He stood up and gently put his arms around her. He sent her all of his love. He remained there, protecting and comforting her, long after she fell asleep.
