"Padme, hold on. You must live."
"Why? Annie..."
"Think about your children. Luke and Leah. Don't you think they are worth living for?"
Silence.
"Padme, listen to me. We can take you and your children to Naboo, away from the war, away from everything. You can live in the Lake Country where you will be safe. Your children need a mother."
And so Padme lived and did as Obi Wan said. Soon she was well enough to be moved so she and her children returned to Naboo and started again. Obi Wan frequently checked upon the young mother but it became harder and harder to find transport and remain undetected by the Sith.
The Republic had fallen along with the Senate and democracy. An Empire had been born with the Sith at it's head. Even though the war had stopped as promised, people lived in fear and doubt.
However, soon Darth Sidius became dissatisfied with the extent of his empire. He wanted more. He wanted complete control over the galaxy, not just star systems under the control of the old republic. So he sent out his greatest weapon to draw in those remaining planets. The one thing which everyone feared above all besides the emperor himself. His apprentice, Darth Vadar.
"My lord?" the black cloaked, masked figure kneeled before the wizened old man.
"Darth Vadar. Yes, I have a mission for you."
"Your will is my command."
"I want you to go to Naboo. That pathetic little planet is resisting all our attempts to bring it into the empire. Deal with them."
"Yes my lord."
Thousands of light years away, two young children were playing in the sand, their watchful young mother standing above them. "Mummy, mummy," cried the young girl, running up to the tall figure standing guard.
"What is it, my precious?" Padme laughed, sweeping Leah up into her arms.
"Look," she said, holding out her chubby hand. In it was a beautiful shell, white except for a gentle rim of the palest pink.
"It's beautiful my darling," Padme whispered before giving her young daughter a kiss and setting her back down on the sand.
"I want you to keep it," Leah whispered back, pressing the shell into Padme's palm and then running off.
Padme looked at the small object in her palm and then turned to face the setting sun. Padme was still young and beautiful but she was also sad, a sadness which nothing could take away. Not even her darling children and they knew it. However, they were always trying.
