Padme Interrupted
By Angel Kamiya

Padme's POV

I was not happy with my husband. I had taken the day off of work and was going to stay at the apartment for the entire day because I wasn't feeling very well. Threepio had promised to help me, and I was glad that he was there. Being a senator was full time job and having a protocol droid was the only thing keeping me sane at times. When the front door opened, I looked up and saw him.

There was a smile on Anakin's face. He wore his usual brown Jedi robes.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked, tiredly.

"Obi-Wan has given me some time off today. I've decided to spend the day with you."

"Anakin... you know how dangerous it is for you to just come here without-"

"I don't want to hear it, Padme," he interrupted, frowning. The Jedi sat down beside me after I raised my legs up so my knees were bent, giving him the some space.

"Just be more careful when you come over," I muttered. "We are suppose to be secretly married remember?"

If it wasn't for me, Anakin would have told the entire galaxy we were married. I wanted my family and all my friends to know how much I loved Anakin too, but there was a part of me that knew how we could lose everything if people found out. Anakin and I had important duties and many people were depending on us. It wasn't the right time for everyone to know yet.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"How do I look?"

"You look like you need a doctor."

"I'm fine. I just don't look fine. I threw up a couple times when I woke up this morning, so you probably shouldn't kiss me right now."

Anakin had been leaning forward, but he stopped when he heard me say that. He very slowly began to back away from me. I couldn't help but giggle a little after seeing the expression on his face. It was rare these days to see him as anything besides the serious Jedi warrior. I like to think sometimes that I was the only person that he let see this side of him.

"Thank you for the warning," he replied, putting his hand on the side of my face.

"This is all your fault you know. I'm sick because I'm going to have a baby," I said, narrowing my eyes. I was hoping that I could make him feel guilty. It didn't seem like it was working.

"I didn't exactly plan for this to happen," he smiled.

"Neither did I."

"Are you sure... it was me?" Anakin started, smirking. "Maybe you forgot to be careful that night we-"

"Does it look like I'm the kind of person to forgot about something like that?" I answered, putting on my political face.

Anakin had a guilty look on his face. After I moved myself so I was sitting up again, he moved to sit right beside me. He careful put his arm around my shoulder. He was acting like I would break apart if he wasn't too careful.

"Don't worry. You remember what the medical droid told us didn't you? You will stop feeling this way after the baby is born."

"I really hope so."

"One day, I'll tell our child how much you hated carrying him," Anakin chuckled.

"Anakin! That isn't funny. If you ever do that I will hit you... hard," I uttered.

When someone knocked at the door, Anakin quickly got up. He looked around for a moment wondering where he should be at.

"You better hide," I said, getting up with some difficulty. "You aren't suppose to be here right now."

"I love you," he said, heading over to the next room.

"I know."

When Anakin left to go into the bedroom, I got up to get the door. Having a baby was going difficult work, but having Anakin there helped. I didn't know what I would do without him.
