Summary: Anakin and Padme's life if he had never turned to the dark side and how they raised their children and the conflicts they have before and after their births.

Chapter 1: The Bond of Love

Anakin awoke to the familiar smell of Padme. The smell that always brought warmth to his heart and the most unconditional love that helped him carry on through the trying situations that awaited him with a new day. Jerking out of his trance Anakin just realized how long he had been staring at the beauty of Padme, he quickly threw on his Jedi robes. Dashing out the door, he only paused for a moment to kiss his beloved wife on the cheek before dashing out of her senatorial apartment before his meeting with the Chancellor.

Padme lurched upright in bed, shaking with sickness. Trying to will herself out of bed, Padme fell over and vomited. She needed Anakin, she needed him to be with her to hold her in his strong arms. It was too soon to have the baby, she thought, something was wrong, and she needed her husband now more than ever. She was just able hit the com-link by her door to signify C-3PO to come to her aid.

C-3PO came in with his usual cheery attitude and his typical question that he always asked when he responded to the com-link activation. But, when he entered the room, he did not see the senator. He figured he must have had a malfunction and that in fact the senator had not activated the comlink until he herd a cry come from behind the bed that was being blocked for him to see. He quickly moved over there to find Padme on the floor clutching her stomach crying in pain. Fear racing through him he ask,

" My'lady how can I be of service to you?"

Through clenched teeth Padme responded, " 3PO please, notify the committee that I am officially", she cut off in mid sentence pausing to catch her breath. She looked at C3-PO and with her last surge of energy said, " officially unwell and unable to complete my duties for the day."

" Will that be all? 3PO asked uneasily " Are you sure there is nothing I can do for you?"

" Thank you 3-PO" Padme replied. " Please just notify me if anything comes up."

But, C3-PO could have sworn he heard his mistress murmuring his master's name under breath as a plea for help. Though, he thought for a moment that he might help the senator in some way he thought against it, it would be against protical, and with the he went down stairs to do as she had instructed.

As Anakin raced to the chancellor's office, he could think of nothing but Padme. When he reached the landing deck, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the force and that pleasant thought he had of Padme was suddenly filled with pain and suffering. Not wanting to show his fear and his urgency Anakin went into the chancellor's office and quickly apologized for having to leave in the absence of forgetting a Jedi council meeting. Feeling the constant suffering that Padme was enduring Anakin could no longer prevent himself from running to his space cruiser on the deck and taking off at record speed in hopes of reaching his precious wife.

C-3PO was in the kitchen preparing lunch when he noticed the all to familiar reckless piloting of his master coming towards the building and climbing to a stop on the landing deck. He notified the Senator of his arrival hoping she would be pleased and then he went off to the deck to meet his master and deliver the official message.

" Hello master Anakin", said the pleased protical droid. " I have come out here to tell you that the Senator is officially unwell." What the droid saw next was enough to displace his gold platting.

Anakin ran toward him demanding to know what was happening unofficially and to be let in to see her. "Tell me NOW" Anakin demanded in fear for his love one.

" Unofficially", 3-PO replayed, " The senator is very sick she has been vomiting shaking and pleading for help and screaming your name. She is to week to stand and begins to feel more pain when she does." With hesitation the droid added, " And you should know master she is trying to come and greet you in this state that she is in."

" Take me to her let me see her I need to help her she could be hurting herself", and the baby he thought.

C-3PO let Anakin in and watched him for only a second as he sped through the hallway to Padme's room. When Anakin was approaching her she was pale, disheveled, and very sick but still had that glowing smile on her face that she always had when she would greet him. She was at the top of the stairs when she saw him, her love, he was coming to her. But, she was not strong enough to make it to him her legs gave way and she began to tumble down the stairs at a rapid seed.

"Padme!" Anakin yelled when he saw his wife fall down the stairs overcome with weakness. Reaching into the force, he caught her soft gentle body in mid air only to reach her and lift into his arms his unconscious love. "Threepo!" Anakin called in desperation, " Threepo contact Padme's medical droid, notify the droid that Padme needs immediate assistance."

Anakin held Padme in his arms on their bed as she cried in pain and whimpered in his arms. He felt so hope less, what could he do, how could he help her now when she had needed her so much.
