AN: Hello Dear Readers! I am sorry that I haven't posted anything during break! I've been so busy I haven't had a minute to sit and write. We had guests back to back for two weeks around Christmas and New Year, I've been trying to pack for study abroad, and my computer broke and has been in the shop for the past week. So I'm currently using my other devices when I can. I hope you all like this chapter!

This chapter is a suggestion from Millie!

The morning was quiet, and Rex relished in the calm, so unlike the constant noise and bustle of the barracks he was used to. Since the end of the war and his marriage, Rex found the quiet and peace was nice, with some adjustment. He rolled over in the bed and reached an arm over with the intent to pull his wife closer to him but found nothing but empty air. Cracking an eye open, he looked around the room to see if she had gone to the kitchen, but the bedroom door was still shut. A dim light was on in the bathroom and Rex heard muffled sounds of gagging and retching. Instantly he slid out the bed and towards the bathroom.

"Ahsoka, Cyar'ika, what's the matter?" He crouched down beside her and gently brushed her back lek.

Ahsoka was bent over the fresher and only moaned in response. Rex grabbed a wet cloth and passed it to her to wipe her face. Once she was done, Rex supported her as she stood up and walked back to the bed where she flopped down on her side and drew her legs into herself.

"Can I get you anything? Water? Dry crackers?"

Ahsoka shook her head negatively "I'm just going to go back to sleep for a little bit" She whispered

Rex commed in to let Anakin know that neither one of them would be coming to the barracks that day. Then he sat quietly at the table working on reports until he heard Ahsoka get up and rush for the fresher again. Following her, Rex rubbed her shoulders comfortingly while she retched and dry heaved. Once she was finished she leaned back against her husband, exhausted and trembling.

"I don't know why I keep throwing up. I don't have anything left in my stomach." Ahsoka moaned

Rex wiped the thin sheen of sweat of her forehead with the cool cloth. "Maybe it was something you ate?"
"I don't think I've had anything weird. Just stuff here in the apartment and the temple."

"You have a fever. Maybe you caught a bug." Rex suggested next

Ahsoka hummed slightly "But I'm up to date on all my vaccines. The last time I can remember being this sick was when I had the blue shadow virus. I'm worried it's something else." her voice rose at the end and then she lurched forward again to dry heave.

Her husband sighed "I think we should go to the med center, if nothing else to get some fever reducers and get you hydrated."

Ahsoka nodded in resigned agreement. Rex got both their non-descript jackets so they couldn't be recognized as easily and hustled them into a speeder taxi. Rather than going to the clone med center or the temple, they went to the Republic Med Center.

Once they checked in, they were ushered back to a treatment room and a nurse started IV fluids and anti-nausea medications. The doctor came back next; she observed the couple for a few seconds. The patient was propped on the treatment table, eyes closed and her companion was standing next to her head and talking her while gently stroking her montrals. With a polite cough, she stepped fully into the room.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Lasseya Tarrk, I'm going to be your doctor today. I heard you've been experiencing some extreme nausea and fever today."

Both of them nodded

"Okay. We're going to run some tests to see what's going on. But I'm going to ask you a few questions first." When they nodded, the doctor continued "How long have you had your symptoms?"
"The nausea started sometime last night. I think the fever started sometime this morning." Ahsoka answered

"Have you had anything to eat or drink since the symptoms started?"
Ahsoka shook her head in the negative

"Have you taken anything to help with the symptoms?"

"I tried some fever reducers this morning but I kept throwing them back up."

"Okay. We're going to draw some blood and run some tests to check for viruses or food poisoning. I also want to go ahead and do a pregnancy test while we're at it." Dr. Tarrk made a couple of notes on her data pad before looking back up at the couple.

"A pregnancy test?" Rex sounded shocked

"But why?" Ahsoka voice was shaky "We've been very careful because we didn't want to have kids this early."

The doctor smiled and raised her hand calmly "It's just a precaution, to make sure we've covered all of our bases."

The nurse came into the room and started prepping for a blood draw.

"While we work on a blood draw, I'm going to ask that you make up a list of all the food you've had in the last 24 hours and where you had it. In case it's food poisoning we can narrow it down." The doctor told the couple before leaving the room.

Once the nurse had left with Ahsoka's blood draw, the room was silent as the two of them were both lost in their own thoughts.

"Do you really think…" Ahsoka trailed off

"I don't know." Rex sighed and rubbed a hand over his head "We've talked about not wanting to have kids for a few years so we've been careful, I don't see how it could have happened."

"What if I am though?" She sounded nervous "Do you think we could handle it?"

Rex gave her a wry grin. "We've handled thousands of battle droids and hundreds of battles. How hard could one baby be?"

Ahsoka laughed slightly and Rex took her hand and kissed it affectionately.

"If or when we do have a kid though, you have to promise that the boys won't get to name them." Rex laughed

"I can't promise that they won't give us endless suggestions."

The room once again lapsed into silence, Ahsoka lightly dozing as the medications kicked in and Rex keeping vigil.

An hour or so later, the doctor returned with the test results.

"Hi. We've got all your test results back." She waited until the door slid shut behind her to continue. "We've ruled out possible food poisoning. None of the foods you listed were the cause of your illness."

"What about viruses?" Rex asked

"I'm still waiting on a few more obscure illnesses that tend to affect torutans but we've ruled out the most common viruses." Dr. Tarrk was about to continue but her com beeped an alert "I'll be back shortly with those results. I wanted to update you on the results we did have."

"What about…" Ahsoka started to ask but the doctor left too quickly. "She didn't say anything about the pregnancy test." She looked to Rex but he only shrugged

"She had to rush out of here. Maybe she just forgot or maybe she'll tell us with the next round of tests." He suggested calmly

Ahsoka fidgeted on the bed. "I hope so."

Rex grabbed for her hand again a rubbed his thumb comfortingly over the back of it. "Are you still worried that you might be pregnant?"

A sigh "Logically I know that the chances of it actually happening are very slim but I just can't stop thinking about what if it was true. What that would mean for us."

"Cyar'ika, how many times have our plans been shot to haran and we've been unflappable with pulling another plan together? While a baby is a bit more long term, we can take this plan change in stride too." Rex assured her

Ahsoka's lips twitched upwards "I guess you're right. I'm just tried and overthinking things, sorry."

"Nothing to be sorry for, Cyar'ika."

Half an hour later Dr. Tarrk returned to Ahsoka's room.

"My apologies for rushing out of here so quickly, I had an emergency with another patient." She glanced down at her data pad "I do have the rest of your test results back."

When the couple nodded for her to continue she did "We did find that you do have a virus, called the Xid virus, which most commonly affects young togurtans."
"But I should be up to date with all my vaccinations." Ahsoka protested

"Vaccinations can't help with viruses like this. If you have recently visited a planet mostly inhabited with Torgutas such as Shilli or Kiros, then you may have picked it up there." The Dr. smiled when she saw the two relax. "The good news it that with some medication and lots of rest you should be fine in a couple of days."

"My family was visiting from Shili last week and my niece seemed to be coming down with something towards the end." Ahsoka told her

"That's probably where you got it from then. Especially if you don't live on those planets, then you are more likely to have a more severe case of the virus. I will go ahead and write up the prescription and as you leave you can pick it up." Dr. Tarrk turned to leave when Ahsoka called out for her to stop

"I'm sorry Doctor, I don't think you ever told us the results of our pregnancy test."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I thought I told you earlier." She flipped to her notes "It looks like you had a negative test. Better luck next time!"

When she left the room, both Rex and Ahsoka breathed sighs of relief.

"I want to have kids someday, Rexster. I'm just glad it's not today."

AN: I hope you guys liked it! I wanted to play around with how Ahsoka and Rex would have felt about suddenly have kids so young. This will be the last chapter for a while because I am going to be traveling so much this semester! For those of you who are still waiting on your chapter suggestions to be written, I have them in a specific order I'm writing them and haven't forgotten about them!

The Wanderer 101- Thank you for your very kind review! It makes me so happy to see that readers enjoy my stories and are following them! I have a few more planned chapters to write to finish out this story; I don't want to end it but with college and work and life getting busier and busier, I am struggling to find time to keep up with my writing. If inspiration strikes I hope to post a chapter every once in a while; so keep watching!
