Kaida and Qui-Gon

Qui-Gon sat on the edge of the couch beside Kaida, concern burning brightly in his eyes. Obi-Wan sat at her feet, his hand stroking her leg.
“Are you all right?” they both asked anxiously, almost simultaneously.
“I was so afraid,” she said, and tears flooded her eyes again. She wiped them away in irritation. Her eyes were already swollen, hot and scratchy. Her nose felt like it was twice its normal size, and her head ached. “I mean, I know the doctor said the baby was okay, but I didn’t believe him. I was so worried that we’d get there today and do the sonogram, and they’d find out that the baby was…” She couldn’t even complete the horrible thought.
“Oh honey,” Qui-Gon said as he pulled her into his arms. “I’m so sorry.”
“I’ve been so stupid about everything,” she said against his chest.
He pulled away from her in shock. 
Obi-Wan shook his head, a deep frown engraved on his face. “Kaida, if anyone’s been stupid, it’s me and Qui-Gon. Force, when I think of what could have happened to you because we weren’t where we were supposed to be—!” He broke off, shaking his head, but she could see the residual fear in his eyes.
