I do not own anything
Summery: I was very disappointed in the last three films. Characters simply needed more and here is my version of how and why Anakin turned and what it did to those around him.
"Master Obi-Wan, there is nothing more that can be done to save my life, I just simply need to know how my children will be protected when I am gone."
Padme Amidala spoke to Obi-Wan with full concern as she sat in her beautiful bedroom on Alderaan, staring out the window at what seemed like endless mountain peaks. Her hair was nearly gone by now, her body as frail as ever as her illness over took her body completely. In the past seven years, Padme fought with every ounce of her body to keep her children safe from the empire and most of all safe from their father, Anakin Skywalker, now known as Darth Vadar. Seven long years ago, she made the heart-wrenching decision to give her son to Owen and Beru Lars, her brother and sister-in-law, and allow them to raise him under Obi-Wan's watch. Her daughter on the other hand was to be raised with her mother, under the false identity of Bail and Breha Organa's daughter, to protect her true identity and Padmes'. Not a day went by when she did not think of her son, Luke, the child she would never get to raise or know.
For seven years Padme raised Leia on Alderaan in their own private quarters of the royal family's home; Leia knew Bail was not her biological father, yet she still looked at him as the only father figure in her life. Bail's wife loved her as her own as well and Leia respected and loved her. Seven years after the fall of the republic, Yoda and Obi-Wan were able to keep the two children hidden from the empire and hidden from danger. Obi-Wan would come to Alderaan often to check on Padme and Leia and remained in close contact always in case anything was to happen to them. This was one of his visits, only this time Padme would have less than six months to live and once again had to make living arrangements for her daughter.
"Padme, Leia will stay here with Bail and Breha, and I assure you she will be safe. Luke is safe as well and hidden safely away from the Empire. I will not stop watching over your children Padme, never." With that he walked over to her chair, kneeled before her and gripped her hand, "I promise you."
She could no longer hide her emotions, tears streamed from her faced as the embraced in a long hug. After all the struggles, Obi-Wan had helped her with everything, even sending her holos of Luke when she asked for them.
"It's not fair Obi-Wan, I still have so much to do, I am not ready to die and leave my children behind. She said as she stood up and walked over to the holos of her two children. "I only have one request of you; I need to see my son before I die."
Before she could get the last word out, Obi-Wan simply stated, "You know that is too dangerous Padme or we would have already of let you go and see him." He turned to look at her; she was a wreck, not the intensely strong woman he knew years ago.
"No Obi-Wan, it is my last request and I do not care how dangerous it is. I need to see him one last time before it is too late. I need to meet my son once more." She was stubborn this time, never once blinking an eye as she said this to him.
"You know I can't Padme.." He began to say.
"Obi-Wan I am not asking you, I am telling you I am going to see my son before this illness destroys my body." And with that Padme left her bedroom leaving Obi-Wan to sit and think how he could pull this off without being detected by Vadar.
