2 The Mother

It's been a long time now, and I've gotten quite big. I don't know if it's a boy or girl, but I'm happy I'll have someone else with me in this lonely place. I can already see it being strong, and I'm going to teach it all I know. The galaxy is in a state of war right now. The imperials and republic are at war. Coruscant and Korriban are filled with creatures learning the force. However, my baby will be safe from all of that. The war could never reach us here, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure nothing bad ever happens to it.

[A/N: Abeloth is portrayed as a grotesque monster in star wars legends, but she is a beautiful young woman who still has her force powers in this story. I'm doing this so when Nathan pops out of her. He isn't a monster like her.]

I feel it kicking every day, and I feel our connection. It's so innocent and helpless. I don't know when I'm due to have it, but it's soon, I can tell. In the meantime, I should prepare for the birth. As Abeloth looks forward to the coming of her child, there is a conversation happening on Mortis. This conversation is between The Father, The Son, and The Daughter. They are currently sitting in a room in silence, feeling the force and searching. The Daughter is the one searching through the force for anything a miss right now. The Father and The Son are doing their own things.

I look through the force and see the state of the galaxy. It's in war. The death count is high. For every being killed, some of the force loses its presence. As I continue to search, I hear my Father gasp. I open my eyes and look at him. He is holding his head and is concentrating. I get up and rush to my Father. I hold him and try to support him as he stands. "What's wrong, Father? Did something happen that needs our attention?" I don't know what Father watches over, neither does my Brother. I watch his face become serious and turn to the statue in the room.

Brother gets up and stands next to me, and we wait for Father's answer. "We have a trip to make. Prepare for a confrontation with Abeloth. Something unbelievable is going to happen." Both Brother and I look at each other. The only times we see Mother is when we lock her up after she attempts another escape. She is the strongest single entity of the force, but we can overwhelm her when Brother and I work together. "It will take us a few days to get there. We'll leave immediately." We follow Father out of our cathedral and walk to a ship.

It's a mobile environment that responds to our force powers. It's a piece of Mortis. We call it Mortis as well. We load into the ship and power it with our force powers. After we get far enough away from the planet Mortis. Father takes control. "Why are you coming with us, Father? You usually let Brother and I take care of Mother." He stays silent, and that worries me. We don't know what's going on with Mother with all of our abilities. She is hidden from our powers. As the days pass and the Mortis ship makes its way to the Maw, Abeloth is giving birth.

This is the most painful thing I've ever experienced physically. I push and push over and over again. I wish I had some help in this endeavor. However, I'm alone in this task. The pain only keeps getting worse, and I feel it tearing. I've never given birth before, and I hope I'm doing it right. After several more minutes of pushing, I finally hear the crying voice of my baby. "WWWHHHAAAAA!!!" I take a few gasps of air and try to stop the pain with the force. It takes a second, but it works. I look to the baby on the makeshift blanket made of leaves and grass. It's a boy! I've had a son!!

I reach out to my crying boy and pick him up, I hold him close to me, and I begin to weep. I'd hate to say this, but I love him more than anything I've ever loved. I kiss his forehead and caress his skin. He begins to quiet down and relax at my touch. "Your name is going to be Amor. You will be with me forever." I watch my son's closed eyes as he sleeps. I don't know how I came to be pregnant with him, but he is my gift from the force. I use the force to levitate my body and take us to the clean water of my prison world. I sink my lower blood-covered half into the water to cleanse myself.

I hold my newborn son close as I use the force for sitting in a comfortable way as I soak in the water. I start to hum a random melody, and I can't tell you why. It just feels like the right thing to do. As Amor makes some movement, I notice he is starting to chew on where my nipple is. I start lactating on instinct, and I uncover my breast. I guide him to it, and he begins to feed. This is a painful sensation. He is chewing and sucking on it without remorse. It gives me a sense of fulfillment, though.

I close my eyes and let my son feed. I rest and continue to hum the random melody I've come up with. After a few hours, I feel three force signatures I haven't felt in a very long time. I calmly continue what I'm doing and focus on my baby. I see the Mortis ship land in a clearing a distance away. I knew they would come for him, but they aren't taking him from me. They will have to kill me before they have him. I watch them exit the ship and spot me instantly. They make their approach calmly. It's been so long since I've seen them all together like that. It's usually just Son and Daughter that seal me away.

I stare at them in determination as they stare at me. They levitate across the water and land behind me. I levitate myself and hold my son close as I land across from them. "I can sense the power buried within the child. It will grow. Stronger than all of us." Son is the first to speak. I hold Amor as close as possible from his words. I watch Daughter glare at her Brother in disapproval. They are truly opposites in every way you can think.

Father makes his approach to me first and stops before me. "How did this come to be? You are alone in this world. I can feel it." I don't want to explain the origins of Amor because he was given to me by the force. "It matters not, hand over the child. He cant remain here. With both of your powers, you could escape once he grows up." I immediately begin to use force attacks to push them back. I'm not giving them Amor. He is to stay here with me.

I look at my family and see that they are apprehensive about fighting me. I look down and see the reason myself. My son sleeps calmly and peacefully. "I'll not give you Amor, he is mine, and I'll never let anyone have him." I sound calm, but there is, in fact, a storm raging inside of me. I suddenly feel all three of them combine their powers to subdue me. I try to retaliate, but the birth has made me weak. They slowly make their approach as I hold my son and kneel. I feel all of them put one hand on the back of my head, and I lose consciousness. Now that Abeloth is asleep, they can take the child. The Father is the one to hold the child.

I can feel his power. It's hidden deep within him. Once awakened, he will be unrivaled. He cant remain with Abeloth or us. He needs to be in a place where his powers won't be used or provoked. I hand Amor to Daughter and begin making my way back to the ship. "We must hurry. She will awaken soon." We all quickly make it back to the ship and take off from Abeloths prison. As we leave the area outside the maw, we can feel Abeloths rage and anger. She cannot reach past the blackholes, though. "When we return to Mortis, it will be your responsibility to find him a family and safe place, Daughter. I know you will make the right choice." I give my order as we fly through space. I take another look at the child and see no notion of evil or corruption, nothing like Abeloth. He is a free soul like all of us.

After a few days in hyperspace, we make it back to planet Mortis and land. I exit first and make my way to my meditation chamber. I trust Daughter will be quick and leave for her task as well. Now it's time to talk with Son.

[A/N: Some of the things I wrote in this chapter don't fit the lore of Mortis or Abeloth, but I did this for the sake of the character and story. I hope you guys are cool with that.]
