AN: My first ever SW fanfic! sweeet! ^^

Basicly this is just an idea I've been batting around for about a year now thanks to my dad (a fellow SW fan :). After watching RoTJ one night, he made the comment of "You know Vader was crying under that mask, right?" Refering to Vader looking out the viewport thoughtfully after Luke rejected the offer to sucumb to the dark side willingly. It was made in jest of course (now a family joke), but it got my creative gears rolling, and after a while this came out. Not exactly crying, but ya know, thoughful ;) Hope y'all like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or Darth Vader, it all belongs to Disney now! XDDDD (I seriously can't wait to see what they do with it! I'm thinking it's either going to be REALLY good or REALLY REALLY bad. There's just no in between for SW! ^^) However I do own that little voice in Vader's head...we'll call it 'Hammy' XD No I'm not crazy, just creative ;)

Vader gripped the railing with his mechanic hand to almost the point to crushing it, he quickly relaxed his hold. He was already sensing some questioning thoughts in his staff about his sanity, because of his recent odd behavior concerning Luke Skywalker.

No need to make it worse.

Gah! What possible reason could he have for feeling so...sorrowful!? Wait, what? Since when did he feel any emotion other than anger?

Your starting to feel again.

Whoa, what? Who's that?

I'm Tinker Bell! Who do ya think?! I'm your conscience dummy! And you'd do well to listen to me.

Fine, I'm too tired to argue right now.

Good, now see...

When your wife died, your heart did too...but the boy is a part of her, apart of both of you; his presences is making your heart stir once again.

Oh sure, just like that, flip a switch and everything's fine.

I didn't say that.

Well what ARE you saying!?

I'm saying you should think carefully about your next move. Think about your loyalties. Sidious told you that your wife and unborn child were dead...that YOU killed them in a fit of rage. Obviously that wasn't the case. Who knows what else he's lied to you about.

Oh, so now your saying Padme is alive too?

Would you stop putting words in my mouth? Wait...I'm your conscience, I don't have a mouth. Never mind, just cut it out, will you...

Vader would have sighed if his mutilated body would allow it.

Look, you're not stupid. You know what Sidious is capable of, what he has done to manipulate others for his own cause. You know he's done the same to you...you just don't know how much yet.

I need time to think...to process.

What is there to process!? Sidious is going to give Luke two options:

1.) Join the Dark Side. (And we both know he would rather cut off his right hand than do that. ;)

2.) Die fighting to stay a Jedi.

He could be turned...

OPEN YOUR EYES! DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS PATH HAS DONE TO YOU?! Your body is a machine! Your wife is dead! Your Jedi Master died by your hand! And your son, your own flesh and blood child, is your enemy...

Do you really want the same life for your son? Really?

I must remain loyal to my Emperor.

You even sound like a machine, just spitting out what you've been programmed to say.

Do me a favor, Vader. Listen carefully here.

Just five words...

He. Will. Kill. Your. Son.

Just think about that...Anakin.

AN: Short and sweet! Ok not so sweet, oh well.

Good, bad, or indifferent, I don't care, just PLEASE REVIEW!
