I know this has already been done before on countless occasions, but this is my version of what would have happened if Anakin grew up on Naboo with Padme.
Prelude:
"What will happen to me now?" Anakin asked Obi Wan, watching the celebrations unfold around them in the Central Plaza in Theed.
Obi Wan sighed as he replied, "The council does not permit you to be trained. I wanted to honor master Qui Gon's memory, but the council has put an end to my dream. I'm so sorry Anakin."
Anakin looked down at the floor, disheartened. "So does that mean I have to go back to Tatooine."
"I'm afraid it does, Anakin. Once again, I am sorry, " Obi Wan said, vividly upset.
"No it doesn't."
Both turned to see Padme behind them, in a simple blue gown, with her beautiful hair falling down on her shoulders. Anakin blushed as he saw her, in all her immense beauty.
"I'm sorry?" Obi Wan asked
"It does not. I will take care of Anakin. I will not reject him. He saved our people. He deserves a better life than being a slave. I will ensure that he has the opportunity to stay on Naboo."
Anakin rushed into Padme's arms and hugged her fiercely. Padme held him tight.
"Thankyou Padme, thankyou so very much," he said, emotion overwhelming him.
"I want the best for your future Ani. I really do. And Obi Wan, if you know what is best for Ani, you would do what is right," Padme said.
As they let go of each other, Obi Wan asked, "And what might that be?"
"Train Anakin in the ways of the force."
Obi Wan stood stunned After a long moment, he said, "I cannot go against the will of the Council. I will be banished from the Jedi Order.
"Don't you want to honor your old master's memory? Is Ani not the chosen one?" Padme questioned him.
Obi Wan sighed. "I want to, this is why it is so difficult. But…..I will train the boy on Naboo, whenever I am exempt from my Jedi duties."
Padme embraced Obi Wan in gratitude. "I knew you would do the right thing Obi Wan."
Obi Wan sighed. "Anything for my old master. Anything."
Anakin knocked on Padme's office door and patiently waited.
"Come in."
Padme looked up from her work to see Anakin enter the room. Immediately a smile lit up her features.
"Ani! What a pleasant surprise. Do come in."
"Hi Padme," Anakin said as he moved to her side. "You looked stressed." He took her free hand and played with her fingers.
"Just finalizing some work for tommorrow's session." Padme looked up at him and smiled. " You should get some rest. Its been a long day."
"It has, but I just wanted to thank you," Anakin paused, before continuing, " For letting me stay with you…..for taking care of me, I owe everything to you."
Padme looked at him affectionately before pulling a blushing Anakin into her arms.
"Ohhh Ani… you don't have to thank me. You deserve a happy future. And that's what I'm going to give you. "
She held him for a few moments, before letting go. Anakin looked at her intensely " You know Padme, you really are an angel. "
Padme smiled. "Anakin…Im not.. I just want to help. But I promise I will always be your angel."
"You are so kind Padme. Good night." Anakin hugged her once more, before bidding good night. He dreamt of Padme, dressed in a white gown, smiling at him, as they exchanged vows.
So, what do you think? This will be a long, multi-chaptered story, full of adventure and romance!
