Arashi: This is my first Star Wars story I ever written. It's a late father's day gift for my dad. Also show a connection between fathers with his children especially if he has a daughter. The idea for this story was "Cowgirl don't cry" by Brooks and Dunn, it's an incredible song it has a story behind it. If you have time or chance listen to it and you can find it on you
Disclaimers-I don't own Star Wars or the Cowgirls don't cry they belong to their original owners. Star Wars and its characters owned by Lucas Films. Cowgirls don't cry rightful owners Brooks and Dunn.
Summary: Father's day is coming around the corner, Leia feels jealous of everyone else with their father. Even though Bail was a good father to her she couldn't help but wonder about her father and if he ever loved her. Anakin is given a chance to reunite with his kids but he wouldn't feel right if it was only him and decide to ask the Force if he could bring someone special along with him.

My Little Angel
In the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant, a brown haired woman gazed around the training rooms that have not been used ever since the Jedi perished. She could feel the Force all round the building even though she denied it to everyone she knew including her twin brother, Luke. She just was tired of everything that had happened after the empire fell and the New Republic is still being built slowly back up to the glory of the original.
Only reason that Leia ventured into the temple was to get away from the festivity of celebrating to honor fathers all around the galaxy. She felt a little bit left out from those who had their fathers as they grew up if they have not been killed during the reign of power by the Emperor and his right hand man Darth Vader. Sure she grew up with a father but it wasn't her real father though. Sure Bail was a kind and wonderful father whom she will always love. It was not the same feeling if she had birth father around.
But there was a part of her she fought with herself when she was small after Leia found out that Bail adopted her. Apart of her wondered if her birth father, the same man who killed thousands of people during the empire reigns and before he turned to the dark side, ever cared about her or Luke. She had no idea who her father was until the day when Luke fought the emperor with the help of Darth Vader.
Then after the celebration of destroying the reign of the empire, Luke told her that they are twins and Darth Vader is their father. He said that his real name was Anakin Skywalker once known through out the galaxy as the hero with no fear during the clone wars. At first she thought he was joking at first but looking closer at his blue she knew that he was in fact telling the truth. She felt the bond that always been there but never really paid any attention to.
Luke explained to her later on that he saw their father with three other people: Obi-wan Kenobi, Yoda, and another man whose name was Qui-gon Jinn. Master Yoda smiled his strange smile at the younglings as he turned to his companions especially the man who looked like he was 23.
Qui-gon had an arm around both Anakin's and Obi-wan's shoulders as the three smiled at Luke. Luke noticed his father sad look when he gazed at Leia knowing it will take her longer to forgive him after what he did as Darth Vader.
After that day Leia found time to search up any information on both Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. She learned that her hero, senator Amidala was in fact her mother and the youngest queen of Naboo's history. Her father on the other hand was a little bit hard to find his information.
She had to go to the Jedi temple to search for the archives for info on him. She learned that he joined the Jedi when he was 9 going on 10 years old after the famous battle of Naboo. Then he fought in the clone wars for three years no longer a padawan but a Jedi knight where he earned his nick name sometime during the war as the Hero with No Fear.
For the reason why he turned to the dark side, she had no clue at all and wanted to know besides all the ideas bouncing in her head were driving her crazy. Leia sighed softly as she heard her comm go off.
"What is going on now? Can't Han get the hint that I want to be alone on the one day I don't much like! I hate this holiday more now that I have no parent to be with. Bail that raised me is dead and so is my father. I wonder if he ever cared about me or Luke. If he did why in the world did he joined the emperor?" Leia said out loud sitting down on the dusty floor fighting back the tears forming in her eyes.

************************************************************************
In the afterlife, Obi-wan Kenobi scratched the back of his head as he watched his brother beat his hand in the tree. The man sighed understanding the other a lot more better then he thought. He watched his old friend finally take out his anger from holding it in for the last couple of days. Obi-wan had a feeling that it had to deal with to and little did he know he was right.
Anakin closed his blue eyes pushing back his temper from the day's events. He felt his little girl's presence more today then any other day. The feelings of great pain rolling of her in the force for the one day that had haunted her since the tender age of 9 when she found out she was adopted. The celebrations for fathers, he knew it was dreading Leia for a couple of weeks to the point it was driving him to madness.
His wife had a wonderful privilege to smack in the back of the head because he was pacing too much and couldn't take it any more. He wanted to talk about this with his friend but he had no idea how to begin and Anakin half paid attention to Qui-gon who mediated near by feeling for the younger man. He looked at both Anakin and Obi-wan as sons he never had and they treated him as their father if they don't deny it that is.
"Anakin please stop punching the poor tree. What did it ever do to you?" Obi-wan teased the younger man gently hoping he would take the bait.
Anakin looked at his friend then his hand to find it was in fact bleeding. His icy blue eyes widen somewhat as he replied in a dead tone that nearly got Obi-wan to grimace. "Sorry Obi-wan, it seems that I have quite a bit of things on my mind."
Like for instance my daughter for one.-Anakin-
Anakin I'm very much sure that Leia is fine. -Obi-wan-
Have you felt the pain in the Force that is generated off her?-Anakin-
Boys stop this ridicules conversation. We got couple of people standing wait for the two of you to finish-Qui-gon annoyed-
Sorry master, we didn't mean to cause harm.-Anakin and Obi-wan shame-
Obi started it first any ways-Anakin smugly-
"I did not Anakin!" Obi-wan said out loud not looking at the two guests glaring at his old friend and one time padwan.
The said two guests tried their best to keep their laughter softly as the two of the three Jedi continued to argue Anakin through the Force while Obi-wan did it out loud. Padme and Shimi took one more glance at the unsuspected jedis as Qui-gon shook his head in embarrassment as the two women started laughing their heads off. Both jedis stop their silly argument as they to see who their guests were and turned red in embarrassment. The two men scratched the back of their heads smiling at the other sheepishly for a moment when the three jedis felt the aura of the Force spike suddenly.
Before any of them could leave a form start taking shape from the water near the river. A woman appeared her silver-like hair glittered as it swayed in the breeze, her eyes as green as the nearby meadows glowed like emeralds in near the flames. When the women set her gaze on the three Jedi they looked at her with wonder. Her emerald eyes took in her chosen one, he done well despite his mistake for his path but he fixed and stopped a great evil in the galaxy. She had one more mission he has to complete and he could finally rest in peace.
"Hello my children, it been quite sometime when I answered your questions. Before you ask you I am, I'll give you a hint. I'm the one thing you always call on in your lives?" The silver haired woman spoke with softness that still head power.
"You don't mean…" Qui-gon started as his dark eyes widen.
"That you are…" Obi-wan continued where his old master left off.
"The Force who we ask for help in quest and all that, right." Anakin finished for the two older men.
The Force let out a laugh a sound that held great beauty and joy to it. As she answered the wind gently picked up fallen leaves off the ground swirling them around the jedis.
"That is right. I came here for Anakin to do something that came up. I wish to speak with him alone and I would like no interruptions." The voice reply in the swirl of the leaves as the woman disappeared into thin air.
Anakin can you hear me?-The Force asked gently not wanting to scare her chosen one.
Yes milady, what can I be of service to you?-Anakin replied respectfully.
I need you to go to the world of the living. I felt a great tremor in the force from your daughter and I'm usually one to decide matters of your redemption you wanted. I decide to make this your redemption, help your daughter deal with the pain she is going through and have her forgiveness. I know you feel guilty for all the things you did. Will you expect the mission and the terms to this arrangement.-The Force murmured as she watch Anakin's eyes darken somewhat protectively of his child hurt.
Milady I have a request before I answer to the terms. Can I bring someone with me on this mission?-The dark blond asked the majestic that is the Force.
Yes-Came the soft answer.
Can you give me a couple of minutes to ask my wife first?-Hopeful look entering the blue eyes.
You may-the leaves flew somewhat in the distance.
Padme can you hear me?
Ani, of course I could hear you.
I got go to the living realm for a mission I'm being sent on.
What?! But Anakin you still got the redemption you got to do.
It is my redemption, angel. I got to help Leia and get her forgiveness. I was wondering if you wanted to come along with me besides Obi-wan once he finds out that is.
Of course I want to come. They are my children too and the celebration of fathers is coming up in a few days. Oh poor Leia it must be bad for her right now.
Yes basically the problem right now with Leia. Luke is fine with it and him as no problem with the holiday. I got to answer the Force before she gets annoyed with me as it is. Love you angel.
Love you to, Ani
My wife and I are in and before Obi-wan ask you, let him in also. It might be a wonderful treat for Luke and him to see each other once more.
Very well chosen one and here is where your redemption shall begin.
