Hi there, I have had this idea floating around in my head for the last few weeks and had initially been looking for other fanfic stories that followed this concept but did not have much luck so then I finally broke down and decided to write it myself. Comments and suggestions are always welcome, hope you all enjoy and let me know if I should continue. Thanks! =)

Chapter # 1

Eight years had passed since the fall of the Republic and many of the Jedi had nearly gone into distinction. There he sat basking away in his memories of the unfaithful events that had lead him to this point in his life. Anakin Skywalker sat alone in a deep meditation in his Coruscant apartment he once shared with his beloved wife and mother of his missing children. He could no longer think of his wife, for he believed he had murdered her nearly eight years prior to this moment. He was corrupted and brainwashed by the dark side and did not know fully how to rid himself of his sadness and dark thinking patterns.

He could have raised a family alongside his wife had he just listened to her pleas and gone away with her to raise the children in the first place. But he did not, instead he took deep offence to her coming to the planet Mustafar with his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi a man he now despised deeply. A man who took not only his wife from him but his two children. Anakin did not regret the long bloodshed fight that he and Kenobi had endured on Mustafar. He did not regret faking his own death in order to make Kenobi think he had died as the Sith Lord, Darth Vader and that he had betrayed his Jedi teachings. What Kenobi did not know was that Anakin had faked his own death so that he could attempted to escape from both the Empire and Republic and live a quiet life on the outer rim of the galaxy with his wife and child.

Little did he know that his plan would later backfire on him and he would be left a widower and without his two children. Now thirty years old, Anakin sat alone living day by day in regret and was in lifelong conquest to hide his identity from the republic. His only goal now was to find his children, he had been extremely unsuccessful for the past eight years and had grown frustrated. Of course he looked the same, he had his shoulder length curly blond hair and blue eyes, but something was missing. Sure he had a few more scares that before on his body due to his burns but that was not what had been bothering him. He felt as though he was missing a part of himself. The lighter side, his love for his wife and the love he would have given their children. He still longed to give them that love despite his recent dark turn of emotions. He could remember that feeling from eight years prior, the never ending feeling of sadness and the overconsumption of concern for his children's wellbeing. Hell, he still had that feeling for his two children. He didn't even know their names or what they looked like. But he was determined to find them.

He lay in the sand with little to no clothing on his exposed skin. Naked and alone, Anakin Skywalker lay awake on the planet of Mustafar. Just moments later he had been participating in a hand in hand combat with his former master. Anakin had chased his former master in and out of the Lava only to jump and land on the high ground catching fire and nearly getting his limbs sliced off by his former master.

He then took a quick retreat towards a small stream of water away from the rivers and rivers of lava on this planet. He let out piercing screams and threw his naked body of flame into the small stream of cold water. Obi-Wan was quick to follow him.

At that moment Anakin realized what he must do, he stopped his piercing screams and locked eyes with his former master who just stand feet away agape and in utter shock.

"I HATE YOU!" Anakin muttered loud enough catch the attention of his unconscious pregnant wife who lay at least ten miles away.

"You were the chosen one Anakin. You were supposed to destroy the sith not join them!"

"You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!" Obi-Wan muttered tears streaming down his face.

"The Jedi are planning to take over the Empire, I must destroy them!" Anakin responded in utter confusion.

"Well than you are truly lost Anakin!" Obi-Wan muttered once more.

"You will die an earned death, I don't know who you are anymore. I don't know if I ever knew you fully Anakin!" Obi-Wan stated as he moved forward grabbing Ankain's lightsaber then moved away and headed towards were they had left an unconscious Padme nearly moments before.

He could no longer bare to look at his former apprentice, laying lifeless and nude in a cold stream.

…..

Once he made it back to his ship he was greeted by an anxious R2 D2 and See-Threepio. "Oh master Kenobi, we have mistress Padme aboard. I'm afraid she is in poor health." Threepio stated in a slight prissy tone.

"We will go to Polis Massa, I will contact master Yoda and Senator Bail Organa at once." Obi-Wan stated as he brushed passed the droid to rest a gentle hand on Padme Amidala's shoulder.

He then moved towards the cockpit of the ship and gripped the controls heading on course for Polis Massa.

Then abruptly his comlink began to buzz and there appeared Master Yoda and Bail Organa.

"Master Kenobi, sense a great disturbance in the force I have. Skywalker, where is he?" Yoda questioned looking Obi-Wan directly in the eyes.

Obi-Wan then suddenly looked down, "Master Yoda, your predictions were right I'm afraid. I confronted him on Mustafar and he has in fact become corrupted by the darkside. He then declared an attack on Senator Amidala then on me….. I was forced to fight Anakin and he, he caught fire and did not make it."

Yoda then cranked his head upwards part expectant and part shocked, "done well you have, master Kenobi, young Skywalker earned his fate by turning to the sith and killing thousands. Some of those younglings them being. I'm afraid I cannot bring similar news regarding Darth Sidious, alive he his and d very powerful. Defeat him at this point I could not."

"I understand master, but there is more that we must be concerned with at this point. I don't know if you are aware, but senator Amidala is pregnant and I believe she is about to go into labor, I also have been lead to believe that Anakin was the father and that means only one thing…. This child will be very strong in the force and once Sidious finds out that I indirectly killed Anakin, he will be outraged and will be seeking a new apprentice. If he becomes aware of this child he or she will be in grave danger! We must keep them hidden!"

Yoda then made direct eye contact with Obi-Wan, "Agree with you I do, Master Kenobi. Where are you taking the Senator?"

"I'm on course to Polis Massa, so that she can safely deliver the child."

Bail Organa then joined the conversation, "We will meet you there Master Kenobi, please keep Padme and the child safe in the meantime."

"Very well, may the force be with you." Obi-Wan offered with a bow.

"And may the force be with you Master Kenobi, your great achievement will not go unnoticed, did a good thing you have." Yoda stated. Then he and Bail's holograms disappeared from view.

…

Anakin Skywalker lay awake bare and cold in the stream of water that he had used to put out the flame he had caught from the lava on this godforsaken hot planet. He knew Obi-Wan had most likely taken Padme with him. That was no surprise, he also knew that he must get going if he were to avoid his current master.

He knew Palpatine would soon be on his way to aid his precious Lord Vader simply by feeling the tremors in the force but would practically come running once he heard of the mysterious death of Lord Vader.

Anankin was not entirely sure that his Master would buy this story but knew that he would have to do everything in his presence to keep his identity hidden from both Emperor Palpatine and any remaining Jedi including Master Obi-Wan and Yoda. At this point his only goal was to safely secure Padme and their child when the time was right.

He quickly made to stand and actually felt cold, he then looked down to notice that the majority of his clothing was burned off. He needed to get back to base and fast.

He began to climb the steep rocks and headed straight for the home base he and Emperor had set up nearly three days prior on Mustafar.

Once he had made his way to the back entrance, he slipped in the back door quietly unsure of what he would find.

He then found nothing but slaughtered battle droids and light blood trail of blood. "Obi-Wan?" he thought to himself.

He then slowly followed the trail out to the front entrance only to find his shed Jedi robes and his ship.

Anakin then donned his robe and headed straight for his ship.

He then remembered his dream of Padme in childbirth. He must have taken her to Polis Massa. The imagery in his dreams had always become so lifelike.

He could tell that Padme was going to deliver their baby on Polis Massa he had just initially not known when.

Anakin then shook himself of his thoughts and set his ship on course for Polis Massa. He knew that he would have to be extremely careful of coming into contact with Obi-Wan. He would have to go unnoticed and figure out a way to get Obi-Wan away from his wife and child. Then again he figured in the time it would take him to get there, Padme would have most likely already delivered the baby and Obi-Wan leaving her alone to fend for herself. He knew the Jedi did not have feelings and especially not feelings for children. Plus Obi-Wan didn't know the child was his so he would have no further use for Padme anyhow.

….

Obi-Wan sat staring through a glass window at senator Amidala as she rest peacefully, then turned to see a medical droid approaching him along with Bail Organa and Master Yoda. The medical droid then turned to Obi-Wan, "Medically she is completely healthy, for reasons we cannot explain we are losing her."

Obi-Wan then glared at the droid in complete shock, "She's dying?" he questioned voice full of concern.

"We don't know why. She has lost the will to live. We need to operate quickly if we are to save the babies." The droid stated.

"Babies?" Bail Organa questioned in a stern tone.

The medical droid then moved its arms in the air in an unsure fashion, "She's carrying twins."

Master Yoda then looked from the medical droid to Obi-Wan and Bail.

Obi-Wan then turned and moved away from the group and halted at the glass window were he stood moments prior and simply stared at the young woman that lay peacefully on a medical cot and placed a hand over his mouth truly at a loss at what action to take next.

…

Moments later Obi-Wan stood in the operating room with a slightly conscious Padme who was now truly awake or at least to an extent. She was crying hard as thick tears streamed down her face like rain drops. She also began to let out a blood curdling scream as a light cry could be heard from Padme's mid-section. The medical droid standing near the front of her approached her and Obi-Wan.

"It's a male." It stated plainly.

Padme then up to Obi-Wan and the droid handed the infant over to Obi-Wan.

"Oh Luke" Padme stated as she reached out to stroke the cheek of the still infant, with a slight smile on her features then began to let out yet another painful scream.

The medical droid then turned to face the young woman's mid-section as another faint cry was heard. It then scooped up a healthy looking female infant and held the child out to Obi-Wan and Padme

Padme then craned her neck to spare a glance at the other now silent child in the grasp of the droid.

Obi-Wan then looked from the young woman to the infant and all he could think to say was, "It's a girl."

The young woman then smiled and gestured for the child then in utter relief then suddenly let out another painful scream, she then turned her head slightly to the side and weakly said, "Leia"

She then closed her eyes and began to take deep breaths in utter distress then looked to Obi-Wan.

"Obi-Wan, I know, I know, threes still…." Then the young female abruptly stopped her sentence and continued to inhale and exhale as she moved her head to the side and faintly let out her last breath.

Obi-Wan then looked from the young female to the child in his arms in a mild stress of his own.

Yoda then observing the scene closed his eyes and looked down in utter despair.

…..

Hours later, Obi-Wan, Bail and Master Yoda sat in the meeting room of their ship headed for Bail Organa's home planet of Alderaan.

"Safe, Hidden the children must be kept." Yoda stated in all seriousness.

"We must take them somewhere where the sith will not sense their presence." Obi-Wan added plainly.

"Mmm.. split up they should be." Yoda replied.

"My wife and I will take the girl. We've always talked about adopting a baby girl. She will be loved with us." Bail Organa added.

Obi-Wan then looked up at the two men sitting in front of him, "and what of the boy, we cannot just separate these two siblings Master Yoda? We need to keep them together so that they can have a sense of comfort from one another."

"And where do you purpose the children go?" Yoda questioned.

"Tatooine, the desert planet on the outer rim. I will take them to Tatooine the planet where their remaining family is. I will keep them with me at all times. I will train them and we will remain in hiding were the sith will not sense their presence." Obi-Wan replied.

Yoda then stared at the middle aged Jedi for a long moment contemplating the idea, "Very well, but you must do everything in your power Master Kenobi to keep those children hidden from the public eye. You must also train them to your best ability when they become of age, then we will reconvene and prepare to secretly rebuild the Jedi Council. We will defeat the Sith within time, but for now its best that we all remain in hiding and train to the best of our ability."

He then turned to Bail, "Senator Organa, you will take me to the Degobah system."

Bail then nodded and all three men stood up and exited the room in agreement with their plan.

…

Anakin Skywalker quickly exited his ship that had just landed in Polis Massa. He rushed into the medical center and headed to the nearest operating room.

A medical droid noticed the frantic young man and approached him. "Excuse me, how may I assist you?" it questioned the young man.

Anakin then looked down at his feet a bit embarrassed, "I'm looking for my wife Padme Amidala, I was told she was sent here to deliver our baby."

Then droid then looked the confused man in the eyes, "I regret to inform you, but your wife has passed away. Physically and medically she was in good health, but we believe she may have died due to a broken heart. Perhaps she experienced something traumatic before giving birth to your twins. I'm very sorry, I'm afraid I do not have a concreate answer for her cause of death."

Anakin then lowered his head and could feel his own sorrow eating him alive. Tears began to stream down his face as he forced himself to look back up at the medical droid.

"And what of our child?" he questioned.

"You mean the twins, they are both in great health and were allowed to leave with your wife's family members a few hours ago." The droid answered.

"Twins? You're saying that my wife was carrying twins?" Anakin stated in utter shock.

"Yes your wife was in fact carrying a healthy female infant and a healthy male infant."

"Do you have any idea where my wife's family members may have taken our babies? And what of my wife?"

"They did not mention their exact location upon destination, but your wife has been taken back to her home planet of Naboo and they will be holding a funeral service for her in the near future and burring her remains near other deceased family members. I'm truly very sorry." The droid stated as it lightly brushed passed the distraught young man.

Anakin then stood alone faced streaked with tears, what had he done? He had murdered his own wife and lost his not only one child but now two.

From that point on he made a pact to find his two children. He didn't know how as of yet how, but he would find them and raise them as his own away from the Empire and any remaining Jedi. He would protect them and keep them close. As far as he was concerned he would not let anything touch them. They were his, he grew up without his father then without his mother and swore an oath that he would not allow his children to go through the same. He without a doubt had made some major mistakes and was yes considered a dangerous person but none of that mattered to him now. All that mattered would be finding his children and he would start with the whereabouts of his former master.

Sorry this first chapter is mainly flashback scenes to set up the premise, I will jump right into the present time next chapter. =)
