The Glass Heart
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars.
As she lay there on the bed, her fragile heart cracking, shattering because of what he had done to her. She remembered the good times of when her glass heart was full and strong. The times she felt that nothing could break her. But now she knew that a glass heart will never be full and a glass heart will always break.
When he was assigned to protect her, their relationship was only professional in her eyes, but he thought otherwise. His childhood crush had turned into an adulthood love. Throughout their time together she realized that she had felt the same way, but she did not understand it until that day on Geonosis. That day they pledged their hearts to each other thinking that they would not live after that moment. When the battle was over and he proposed, her heart had felt full of joy. Her wedding gift to him was a Nubian glass heart she had bought that day.
Then the Clone Wars began and her secret love was swept away from her to do his duty as a Jedi in the outer rim territories. For five long months her heart ached and quaked for him but he did not come. When he returned to her she was overjoyed to see him alive. Her heart became whole again. She told him that she was pregnant and waited for his response. She became anxious when he stood there in silence, but when he took her into his arms she knew he was happy and wanted the baby. Again she became anxious because she knew that this child would reveal their secret, but he said that everything would be alright and she believed him.
That's when everything went wrong. Her love had become a man on a quest for power due to the nightmares he had about her. He was going down a path that she knew she could not follow. When she confronted him on Mustafar he called her a liar and said that she had betrayed him. And with his hand held up the Force started to clench around her neck. As everything started to go black her glass heart cracked...
Now here she was lying on a medical bed giving birth to the children of the man she once loved and held dear. When she saw her beloved twins for the first and last time she let out one tear and her heart shattered, leaving the corpse of a once strong loving woman. She became the very thing her love called her...Padme Amidala Skywalker had become an angel. An angel with a shattered heart.
On the day he was reborn Anakin Skywalker now know as Darth Vader opened the box in which held Padme's Nubian Glass Heart. He was shocked to find what lay before him. The heart was shattered and in the largest shard lay what he thought was a drop of water, but then realized it was a teardrop. It was Padme's teardrop. It was then and there that he realized that he was the cause of her death all along and he could no longer fix what had been broken, because he had lost the one thing that he loved. He had lost his angel. He had lost Padme and he could never get her back.
