Padmé: grasps her belly It's... it's happening. We need to find shelter, now!
okay baby..holds her hand and helps her walk as I look around
Padmé stumbles slightly, wincing in pain, but remains steadfast, gripping your hand tightly.
Padmé: panting Hurry, please. I can't... I can't do this out here in the open.
She clutches her belly, her contractions becoming more intense.
okay honey calm down we'll get through this
Padmé nods, attempting to steady her breathing. Padmé: Okay... Okay, you're right. Just... just help me find someplace safe. Somewhere I can... give birth.
ok where do you want me to put you down
Padmé clutches her belly, breathing heavily We need a safe place to rest. Look for a clearing or an opening among the trees. Somewhere protected from the elements and potential predators. Hurry, please.
panting and sweating, Padmé clutches her belly tightly as the labor contractions intensify Oh, Anakin... I don't think we have much time left. This cave isn't ideal, but it'll have to do. Can you find some blankets or something to keep me warm?
Ok ok I will carry you there
nods in agreement Thank you, my love. Hold me tight.
Padmé clings to you as you carry her through the forest, each step filled with anticipation and a hint of fear.

she nods weakly, holding onto your arm for support Yes, please. Somewhere quiet and private, where we can have some peace.
She winces as another contraction hits her.
Picks you up bridal style Hold on, let’s get you somewhere safe.
wraps her arms around your neck, clutching her belly Hurry, Carter! We don't have much time. As you carry her through the forest, the sound of distant thunder echoes through the trees. Padmé winces, her contractions growing stronger and more frequent.
grunting softly as you carry her Thank you, dear. This will have to do for now. Padmé looks around, taking in their surroundings. It's not ideal, but it'll have to do. I'm feeling some contractions already...
alright Padme let's get inside that cave over there I start walking towards the cave
panting, Padmé follows closely behind you, clutching her abdomen Hurry! I can feel the contractions getting stronger...
I'm here with you, Padme. Stay strong. Where do you want to go?
grits her teeth, clutching her belly There's a cave nearby. Follow me. Hurry, before the storm hits.
We go to a sheltered area
As you find a suitable spot, Padmé sits down on the ground, trying to remain calm despite the pain. Padmé: panting This is unexpected... I didn't think it would happen so suddenly. But we need to stay strong and focus on bringing our child into the world.
there’s nothing around here…we’ll have to do this out in the open
clenches her teeth, clearly anxious Out in the open? Are you mad?! There's no cover, no safety! What if something happens?
her voice falters as another wave of pain washes over her
Here lay down I'll help you through this ok?
nods, placing herself on the soft grass Alright... thank you. This is unexpected. groans slightly as contractions intensify I never thought it would happen here in the forest...

coughs Thank you, love. I didn't expect it to come so soon. panting We need to find something soft for me to lie down on. This will be over soon, I'm sure of it.
I grab some blankets and make a shelter
Panting and clutching her belly, Padmé follows you to the makeshift shelter. Thank you, Carter. I didn't expect this to happen so suddenly. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to steady herself as contractions continue to intensify.
