This is going to be a severely AU storyline. I was inspired by Endless Onslaught (by supremechancellor8991, it's a fantastic story and I highly recommend it) to give my imagination freedom to do as it pleases. Some facts may stay the same or at least similar, but others will be very different.

Currently I am planning to split this into two different stories, though it may be more than that. I just want my title to accurately reflect what is happening in each part of the story.

Characters from many of the movies and tv shows (and my current plan with include the Freemakers, just a heads up there, though it will be awhile, not until the next story at least if I split this story up) will be making appearances (if you have any particular characters you would love to see, let me know and I can see if I can work them in).

Also keep in mind while I know quite a bit about the Star Wars we see in the movies and tv shows, I know almost nothing about the books side of it. Also I am terrible at keeping track of real world distances, etc let alone planets and such in Star Wars, nor do I quite understand the hyperspace lanes and how they work or how one would get to or from the planets using them or how long it would take, etc so I taking Writer's Liberty with them and make them as long or as short of a journey as I feel like.

Oh and if you see any spelling errors etc, please do point them out to me. My writing time is generally limited from midnight to 1 or 2 am and I don't always go back and look to see if I messed up somewhere and even if I do I probably miss half of the errors anyways XD

Anakin Skywalker smiled down at the baby in his arms. His son, Luke, was sleeping peacefully as the warm night air from the Nabooian summer gently brushed the baby boy's cheeks. Padmé joined her husband and son in the open doorway, cradling her daughter Leia much like Anakin was doing with Luke. She could hardly believe that these two little ones had been in their lives for just a few short weeks and how much had happened during that time.

Due to the noble efforts of Fives, the Jedi Council had been informed of the chip controlling the clones and had not only been to stop an order meant to kill all the Jedi, but had discovered that the one who had ordered such a thing in the first place had been Naboo's own Palpatine. Padmé shuddered to think about how she had been taken in by him, how she had been the first to push for him to be Chancellor. How could they have all been so blind? She looked at her husband and reminded herself that it hadn't been just her that had fallen for his charm.

The Jedi, once finding out the Chancellor's trickery went to arrest him. At first he tried to pretend that he had had that order issued in case the Jedi had all turned on everyone, but when he saw that they weren't believing it he showed his true colors, literally. Anakin had told her, for he had been there along with Obi-Wan, Yoda, Depa and many other Masters, about seeing the Chancellor igniting those twin red blades. It had taken almost all of their combined strength, but in the end they defeated him. Even after, all the Jedi could talk about for weeks was how he had masked himself from them and how powerful he was.

Leia, picking up on her mother's distress from these thoughts, started to fuss, bringing Anakin's attention to his wife's emotions. "It's over Padmé, we don't have to worry about him anymore." He said gently, though a smirk graced his face. Padmé returned his smiled then sighed and said "Do you ever regret your feelings for me Ani? Or the fact that you had choose between me, or rather us, and the Jedi?"

Anakin sighed, snuggling Luke a little closer, before replying "I can't say I won't ever miss it, being in the middle of the action and all, though with the war ending its doubtful I would have seen much more anyways. But I would never trade my feelings for you or our two beautiful children for anything in the galaxy." Padmé leaned in against him, her side pressing into his, wishing that she could safely put her arms around him without dropping the baby.

She looked at both of her children and a tiny sense of sorrow crept in. Anakin had told her they were both Force sensitive, which meant they would soon go and live in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. While she remained Senator, the Jedi did not encourage visitation so it was doubtful that even if they were on the same planet at one time that she would be able to see her children. Of course she could say no, but she couldn't deny them what was, in essence, their birth right.

She gently shook her head so as not to disturb Anakin or either of the babies. There would be time to mourn their separation later, but for now they were together and she was determined not to waste another minute thinking about what the future holds.

Note: I used the amount of blades Palpatine had in episode 16 of The Clone Wars in Season 5, not the amount he used in the Revenge of the Sith, which of course was just one.

Also, thank you DawnDayrider for pointing out I accidentally called Naboo Alderaan, silly sleep deprived mind.
