WHO: Pregnant Sunila and formerly wee Jake.
WHERE: Space Station.
WHEN: backdated to one of the first waking up.
WHAT: Waking up.
WARNINGS: Swearing.

Sunila had the oddest lucid dream. By some magic - she was floating in her own womb, next to her twins. She could swear she could see Jake in them already. It must have been her mind, using images from what she'd seen on the ultrasounds. She smiled and tried to stay asleep as she began to wake up; she just wanted a few more minutes watching them.

Her eyes snapped open the second she realized the floating feeling went beyond a dream. Nothing looked or felt familiar. This was not the island, not even the space above the island. Her hands reached out, grabbing at the walls, the ceiling, anything to steady herself. At least Jake was there with her. She awkwardly moved closer to him. "Jake. Jake!" She called out loud and through the force. "Wake up."

Jake had been dreaming of nothing at all, which was fine by him, and then Sunila was yelling in his head; he was wide awake in a second and utterly confused a moment later. This was not their room in the Temple, and he was very definitely not in any bed at all.

"What the fuck?" he blurted out, and automatically felt all round him with the Force. Sunila was behind him, but she seemed to be physically okay, as were the twins? He twisted round to see. "Are you okay? Are the babies okay? What... where the hell are we?"

"I'm okay. The babies are okay. I might puke if we don't find a way to stop flying around, but we're okay." Sunila reached over for his hand. "Are you okay?" She looked him over as best she could without risking floating away from him.

"It feels as if we are in space. Not the space above the island either, something different. I think my mother is here, somewhere and others from the island. So many others. But they're not conscious." She could sense so many familiar lives nearby. "What do you feel?"

Jake reached over and grabbed at Sunila's hand as she drifted towards him, and righted himself so they were both the same way up. "I'm... yeah, I'm okay. Confused like you wouldn't believe, but I'm okay." Once he was in front of her properly, he brushed his free hand against her cheek and leaned over to give her a quick kiss before closing his eyes and reaching out with the Force as far as he could.

"I feel the same, yeah... I can feel the other versions of me, but they aren't awake just yet. But I dunno how you can pick up that we're in space other than the zero-g."

"We can pick up on many things with the force." Sunila gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Keep your eyes closed. Your eyes limit you. All they can see is this room." She instructed gently. "Reach out. Use your force sight. What do you see beyond these walls? Beyond this structure? What do you feel?" She closed her eyes too. "You've spent more time in space before. Tell me what you're picking up on."

Jake did as he was instructed and pushed hard to sense as much as he could through the Force, further than he'd tried before. There were Islanders dotted all round the place and he could sense their presence (although not their locations, not yet), bright sparks in this otherwise empty place, and then he must have pushed out past the walls of wherever they were.

"Oh, shit, that's cold," he breathed, "colder than anything... and empty... no, no, it's just all spread out..."

Sunila reached up with her free hand and gently ran her fingers through his hair. "It's cold out there. But we're warm and safe with each other. Warmer than we were on the island. Perhaps this is our new home. A place to raise our babies. Maybe we can be happy here."

She smiled. "Let's explore it. We can start by finding a way out of this room. Come back closer with your force vision. We both will. Let's try to see what is just beyond the door of this room."

He smiled as she talked about their family, then nodded as she decided what to do. He pulled his awareness back to just the room they were in (a little bit too quickly, if he was honest, and it took a moment to adjust) and then pushed out beyond the walls and the door.

"I'm just sensing all of us. Is that right?" he asked, then opened his eyes and looked round the room. His wheelchair was over in the corner, half-way up the wall, and he grinned suddenly. "I don't need my chair right now!" he pointed out and then shushed, since Sunila was probably doing actual proper Force stuff.

	"That's a start. I can sense a hallway. And breathable air. It's safe for us to leave this room when we're ready." Sunila opened her eyes and smiled back at him. "That's great, my love!" She winked at him. "You know, once we figure out what's going on and I get used to it, it might be fun to explore all the things we can do in zero g." (Reply to this) (Parent)
