In a very AU world, Anakin didn't turn to the dark side, Jedi are allowed to get married, Padme lived through childbirth, and the twins were born on Coruscant instead of Polis Massa.
Note: I don't know if this chapter is very realistic, but who cares? It's Star Wars. Anything can happen.
Listen to A New Hope's soundtrack: Binary Sunset while reading this chapter.
First Moments
Birth
Anakin Skywalker paced up and down the hallway as another pained cry sounded from inside the delivery room. What is taking so long? Anakin thought to himself, fidgeting with his hands nervously. Just then, a GH-7 medical droid opened the door and hovered into the hallway. Anakin ran to meet it. "How much longer?"
"Not very much." the droid replied in its mechanical voice. "The first baby has been delivered."
"First baby? You mean. . . there's more than one?" Anakin asked, astonished.
"That is correct. She is carrying twins." the droid answered.
"Is the first a boy or girl?" Anakin asked.
"A boy." the GH-7 said, before going back into the room.
Luke, Anakin thought, thinking back to the conversation he had had with Padme.
...
"What names do you like for a boy?" Anakin had asked his wife.
"Luke," Padme replied simply.
"Luke," Anakin echoed thoughtfully, "I like it. Luke it is."
...
Another pained wail shook Anakin out of his daydream. He glanced through the glass window. The GH-7 droid was holding a second baby. It quickly placed the child into the incubator beside the first. Anakin burst into the room. "Are you alright, Padme?" He asked worriedly, kneeling beside the bed.
"Yes, Ani," she replied, her voice a hoarse whisper. Anakin kissed her sweaty forehead.
"Rest now." he said, getting up and walking over to the incubator, where his two children lay. He gazed at them in awe.
"Your second child is a girl." the med-droid said, hovering out of the corner it had retreated to.
Leia, Anakin thought silently.
...
"What about a girl?" Padme had asked. Anakin pondered for a moment.
"How about Leia?" he asked.
"Leia." Padme repeated. "Beautiful."
...
Leia uttered a small sound, and opened her eyes. Anakin glanced at GH-7. "Can I hold her?"
"Certainly," the droid said. It handed a white blanket to him.
"Anakin," Padme called from the bed. "Can I hold one?" she asked.
"Yeah. Hold on," he replied. GH-7 handed him a creme blanket. He wrapped Luke in it and walked to Padme, who had pushed herself into a sitting position. "Here." Ani said, placing Luke gently into his wife's outstretched arms. Padme smiled wearily.
"Hey, Luke." she said fondly. Anakin returned to the incubator and picked Leia up. He wrapped her in the white blanket and went back to his wife's side. She smiled at her daughter. "Leia." she said, gazing up at the tiny baby in Anakin's arms. "Can we take the babies home now?" Padme turned to the droid.
"Yes." the droid replied simply.
"Good. Ani, let me change, then we'll go home." Padme said, handing Luke to Anakin. "Where are my clothes?"
"Uhhh, here," Ani said, gesturing at them with his elbow, unable to grab them (on account of the twins in his arms). Padme picked them up herself and padded on bare feet into a nearby 'fresher to change. She emerged shortly, looking much less like she had just given birth, with her hair up and her feet no longer bare.
"Let's go." she said, handing her hospital gown to GH-7 droid.
"Here." Anakin said, handing her the twins.
Padme took them with a confused expression. "Don't you want to hold one?" she asked.
"No, I want to do this!" he said joyfully, scooping Padme into his arms.
"Ani!" Padme whispered, embarrassed. "Not in public!"
"Why not? We only have a little ways to the speeder. Besides, you're in no condition to walk."
"I am too!" Padme argued playfully, but did not struggle. Instead, she cuddled the babies closer to her body. Luke fussed, prompting Leia to follow suit. "They're hungry, Anakin."
"We're almost to the speeder. You can feed them there." Anakin entered the hangar and placed Padme on her feet next to the speeder. He took Luke from her, then helped her into the speeder. Anakin got in himself, then they flew through the dark, but still busy, Coruscant skylanes towards their apartment.
...
Anakin landed on the platform got out of the speeder and assisted his wife out, who was still cradling Luke and Leia. "Ani! I'm not an invalid!" she exclaimed as he took her arm. Anakin laughed. Once inside, Padme went into the spare room that had been converted into a nursery. "Ani, we're going to need another crib!" she called. Anakin entered the nursery.
"We'll have to get another tomorrow. Just put 'em both in the one for now." Anakin suggested. Padme handed them both to Anakin then went to the dresser.
"We'll have to get more clothes too." she said, pulling out two, tiny, one-piece pajamas, one yellow, one gray. She took Leia from him and laid her on a nearby table. "And another carrier, another speeder-seat-"
Anakin cut her off. "We'll need double of everything, honey," he said. "For now, we'll just make do with what we have." he said softly. He glanced at the tiny boy in his arms. "Luke's already asleep." Padme did the snaps on Leia's pajamas.
"Leia too." she handed the sleeping baby to Anakin and took Luke. She quickly dressed him, and they placed them side by side in the single crib. "I'm exhausted, Ani," Padme said, falling into Anakin's arms. He scooped her off her feet once again. "Ani! What has gotten into you?"
"Nothing. Besides, we're not in public anymore." Anakin replied, carrying her to the master bedroom. He placed her gently on the bed.
"I have to change." Padme got off the bed, and walked into the 'fresher. Anakin quickly swapped Jedi robes for sleep pants while Padme was in the 'fresher. She appeared shortly, wearing a blue, sleeveless nightgown. Her brown, curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, giving her an angelic appearance. Anakin walked over and kissed her on the cheek. They laid down on the bed. Before she fell asleep, she managed to say, "I love you, Anakin."
"I love you too, Padme."
