An unexpected Reunion

Chapter 1

Somewhere on in the Outer Rim Territory

Deep down the surface of the highly human influenced Planet called Entralla, lays a large cave system that is uncharted ground for the most of the inhabitants of the Planet but for one man it has been the only possible hiding place where the Emperor wouldn't suspect to find people like him: Jedi, the keepers of peace for countless decades before the Sith Lord Darth Sidious had been able to destroy the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. Jedi Master Ralkitta still couldn't believe that the Sith had been able to hide this long from the Jedi, because maybe if they had seen this coming sooner the Jedi Order would be still intact today.

It hadn't been very safe for him to show his face on the surface of the planet during the reign of Grand Moff Tarkin over the complete Outer Rim, because of the fact that the Empire had put a very big bounty on the head off one of the last of the Jedibut if he would die one person would be lost forever: Padme Amidala, former Queen and Senator from Naboo who was kept in a stasis pod by him for about twenty years. Ralkitta and his good friend Master Obi Wan Kenobi had decided to bring her here in the stasis pod after she was on the verge of dying shortly after the birth of her two children Luke and Leia. Knowing that the Empire would be after the twins, they had to be separated and maybe one of them would be able to full fill the prophecy of the "Chosen One" on one faithful day because of the fact how strong their father had been connected with the force. Right now he was sitting in a cantina sitting in a dark corner, waiting for his contact to arrive: Lan Kordan, a well-known smuggler in the Outer Rim territory. He had been his only contact to the world outside of his hiding place; Lan always kept him informed how the war between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire was going because of the fact of always being able to pay the persons in the higher up positions the right amount of credits to satisfy their needs.

While he sit there sipping on his drink, he wondered what would the former Senator think of the world as it was right now: The Rebel Alliance being busy with recovering from a hard fought war the Galactic Empire and were forming a new government as the people of the planets being under attack by the Empire were rebuilding their homes.

Flashback

Obi Wan had just transported Padme Amidala's lifeless body into the Naboo Cruiser and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her as he thought: I really wish that it wouldn't have come to this Padme, but don't worry I still have one last trick up my sleeve to safe you. He tried his very best to shake this horrible image from his mind: His former apprentice, who he loved like a brother burning inside the hot lake of lava on Mustafar. As the med droids kept monitoring the life signs of the Senator and former Queen of Naboo, he had to realize one thing: He had failed completely in the training of Anakin Skywalker but why didn't' he see that coming earlier?

Anakin had been lured to the dark side completely by that one person that Obi Wan had never ever trusted fully: the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who had been able to hide the one important fact until it was too late: He was a Sith Lord that had set a big plan in motion a long time ago to send the Galaxy into a new dark era. He had felt such a big quake in the force, as he felt a lot of his fellow Jedi being slaughtered by the Clone Troops who had fought side by side in this cruel war against the Separatists. Obi Wan's train of thought was quickly interrupted by one of the med droids saying: "Master Kenobi, Miss Padme is ready for child birth now and we better act now or else we are going to lose her."

"Ok I'll be there right away." Kenobi answered after he put the Naboo Cruiser on auto pilot and deep down he hoped that his plan would work because in his opinion she didn't deserve to die this way.

Someday when the democracy finally gets restored, people like her would be very useful in building a new government. Senator Amidala's life signs were fluctuating a lot, as a lot of sweat ran down her forehead during the whole very stressful child birth and through the force Obi Wan could sense very well that Padme didn't want to live anymore without her loving husband: Her body had totally lost its will to live.

The first child a boy finally saw the light of day; Padme looked with a weak smile at her as it took a lot out of her to say the name: "Luke." Obi Wan then handed the boy to another medic droid, so that he could put it in a little crib on the other side of the little sickbay in the Naboo Cruiser. While Padme was busy with pressing out the second child, her life signs were almost dropping to a dangerous level and of course that made the Jedi Master worried that she wouldn't make it through child birth and so her body couldn't be conserved in the stasis pod on Entralla. He reached out to her through the force, trying his to motivate her to no give up for the sake of her children and as he kept looking at the medical monitor above her head, he anxiously waited for her reaction deep down hoping that it would work in the end.

Then the second child saw the light of day and the girl was named Leia by his mother but since Vader would be after the twins of Padme, the two had to be separated even if it hurt Obi Wan a lot to take away the children from her rightful mother but sadly there wasn't any other way.

The med droid then send Padme into an artificial coma, to make sure that her life signs would stay stable on the long flight to the edge of the Outer Rim Territory.

End Flashback

A dark hooded figure finally arrived at the little oval table where Jedi Master Ralkitta set and as he lifted its hood he could see that it indeed was Lan Kordan, the smuggler that also was in the information selling business to get himself some extra credits.

"Greetings Lan, do you have any new information uncovered for me?"

"Yes, the Rebel Alliance has now almost got rid of the complete Empire presence in the former systems of the Republic there are only a few of imperial troops left that are no threat for the Rebel Alliance." It was good to know that the Empire was finally beaten, so maybe it was time for him to go back into open again, finally leave his self- chosen exile on Entralla behind and maybe help to pass on his knowledge to the new generation of Jedi.

On Coruscant

Mon Mothma sat on the couch in her apartment looking into the crowded sky of the big city planet and as she got lost in enjoying this view for a couple of minutes, she couldn't help but wish that one special person would be here to experience the forming of the New Republic: Senator Padme Amidala. It surely had been a huge loss not only for her, after they had worked together side by side for so long in the Senate of the Old Republic but also for her home planet Naboo.

The people on Padme's home world had to endure a lot of suffering during the forceful integration into the Galactic Empire, people that were against the regime being tortured by the servants of the Empire and the Queen of Naboo being removed from Office because she didn't want to stop voicing her disapproval of Emperor Palpatine.

But maybe one person could step into her huge footsteps: Leia Organa because Mon Mothma had seen that same burning ambition that she saw in Senator Amidala from the very beginning.

It was still a lot of work to do, before there would finally be functioning government in place again and right now there was only a provisional council that was busy with working on the Constitution of the New Republic.

AN: This is my first ever Star Wars story; I had Idea to write it for quite some time now and I've always imagined how great it would be for Padme to able to meet her grown up children and may be become a part of the Senate of the New Republic.
