Padme smiled happily as she enjoyed the scene in front of her, Anakin was busy twirling their 3 year old daughter in the air using the force to make her float above him, she sighed wishing that this moment could last forever but sadly she knew that with the war and the fact that their small family was a secret, that these moments were fleeting which was why she cherished them so much.

4 years ago she would have never thought that she could ever feel so happy and in love, so much had happened since then. Meeting Anakin again, falling in love, getting married in secret and the most shocking her pregnancy. Only 3 months after their engagement she discovered her pregnancy, it was shocking for them both and she had been scared of his reaction but found that he was really supportive and excited. It was incredibly hard for them raising a child considering their difficult circumstances but somehow they had managed.

There had been something bothering Padmè, since yesterday when she had taken Cordè to the Senate with her, there had been an emergency and unfortunately Dormè was outside buying groceries so she had no other choice. Unfortunately what she didn't know initially was that Master Yoda was there, she had only realised this the moment she noticed him looking at Cordè from afar.

''Padmè, are you alright? You've been acting off...'' Anakin said rubbing her shoulders soothingly.

''No, i'm not. Anakin i'm afraid for our family.''

''What happened?'' He said taking her to sit with him on the couch.

''I told you how yesterday i took Cordè with me briefly to the Senate..''

''Yes, it's not the first time she went.''

''I know but while we were there, Master Yoda was too and when i realised he was there i saw him looking at Cordè... Anakin i think he knows about her.''

''Yoda must have felt her force presence.''

''Do you think they know that you're her father?''

''No i don't think so.''

Suddenly Padme's com went off so she went to see what it was, while she went to the other room Anakin allowed some of the worry to show on his face, he had known that this day would come eventually but it felt too soon. Before he could even collect his thoughts his wife came back and from the look on her face he knew already that it was not good.

''That was a message from the Temple, the Jedi Council has asked to speak with me about Cordè.'' He immediately stood up and walked up to her.

''I'm coming with you.''

''But they just knighted you, you know what will happen..''

''Yeah i know, they will probably kick me out of the order but i don't care Padmè. I love you and Cordè more than anything, i will do whatever it takes to be with you and protect you, even if it means leaving them.''

As he held her hands gently in his she smiled up to him.

''We better get ready then.''
