I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS, BUT IF I DID, PADME WOULD HAVE NOT DIED AND ANAKIN WOULD HAVE NOT FALLEN TO THE DARK SIDE!
Meet the Parents
Summary: AU Padme's parents know that she's married, but they don't know to who. So when Padme and Anakin are asked back to Naboo, for a 'family reunion' things do not goes as planned.
Chapter 1
Padme threw her clothing into a suitcase that was located on her bed. She had just gotten a call from her mother that was requesting her to come back to Naboo for a 'family reunion.' Yea right, like Padme believed her mother, she obliviously just wanted her to come with her husband to Naboo so they could meet him.
"Padme! Darling! You look so grown-up!" Jobal Naberrie commented as she stared at her daughter in interest. Even though she could only see the holographic form of her daughter, she knew that she looked prettier then before.
"Mother? Why are you calling, so out of the blue?" Padme questioned as she stared back at her mother.
"What? A mother can't call her youngest daughter at any time?"
"Of course you can mother, but I was just asking because you never call me. I always have to call you."
"That is not true!" Jobal protested and this only made Padme laugh.
"Of course it is mother! I always have to remember to call you!" Padme squeezed the words in between her laughs.
"Fine…"
"So mother, what have called to talk about?" Padme asked once she had regained herself.
"We are inviting you and your husband to a family reunion! Won't that be fun?"
"Me and my-my-m-my husband?" Padme stuttered and she saw her mother nod, "But why mother? Why now?"
"We just wanted to invite you to some of our family things. Anyways it's time to see your nieces, and your sister again. Anyways everybody misses you."
"But mom-"
"No butts Padme, you are coming out two days from now, and that's final." Then Jobal disappeared and all Padme could do was hope that this wouldn't go as bad as she thought it would.
Padme sighed deeply, she hadn't told Anakin yet about her family plans. She knew he would say no right away. Everything of Padme's was packed and ready to go. She knew she had a week, but it was her nature to get everything ready before it happened. She loved to be prepared.
She knew right off the back that her family would be in a state of horror forever when Padme told them that her husband was a Jedi. They were expecting a senator, not a Jedi. Of course, she could always lie about Anakin—No, she would have to tell the truth. Her family deserved to know, even if they didn't accept it.
Padme sat up straight when she heard the front door open. She almost died, what was he going to think? Would he be mad? Without thinking, Padme quickly got up to greet her husband, Anakin Skywalker. Don't worry, you will be fine.
"Your home early," Anakin turned around at her voice, "Not that, that's a bad thing."
Padme's laugh echoed in his ears. Padme ran into his arms. He had been gone for too long.
Kissing the top of her head, Anakin thought about the frustration in her eyes. She had seemed extremely mad about something, but Anakin couldn't figure out what. Padme pulled back and smiled, knowing that he had noticed her anger.
"Is there something wrong?" Anakin questioned and Padme sighed. She knew that he would ask that sometime today.
"Well yes Anakin, my family has requested us to go back to Naboo for a family reunion." Anakin's whole face paled at Padme's words.
"A-A what?"
"A family reunion, they are dying to see who I married, I can tell."
"So why don't we just not go?"
"Anakin Skywalker! You know just as well as I do, that we have to go! They are my parents and it's time they knew the truth about their daughter."
"That she married a Jedi?"
"Yes."
"Well then, good luck."
"Anakin! You have to come with me… Please?" Padme pouted and knew that Anakin could not resist this, but somehow, he did.
"No way Padme! NO WAY AM I GOING TO THAT FAMILY REUNION!"
An hour later…
"I can't believe I'm going to that family reunion."
"I promise you, it won't be bad."
"But what will I tell the Jedi Council? 'Sorry, I need a month off to go to my wife's family reunion, did I mention I have a wife?' Yea right…"
"Sounds perfect."
"What!"
"That would probably work-"
"I can't believe you!"
"Hello Anakin, I'm a senator, I'm trying to figure out what I can say to make them give me a break also!" Padme packed the clothes quicker, not noticing Anakin's anger.
"Fine, I'll talk to Obi-Wan tomorrow."
"Thank you love, this means a lot to me."
Padme walked over to her husband and kissed him lightly on the lips. Anakin grabbed Padme down and embraced her, wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I just hope it goes as well as you plan it to be."
The next day…
Padme reached up, expecting to touch the pillow, but instead she touched Anakin's face. She sat up and looked at him strangely. Didn't he have Jedi business to do? He would have been long gone, when she woke up, but strangely he was still there. Padme shook him to wake him from his sleep.
"What is it?"
"Anakin, what are you doing here?"
"What do you mean what am I doing here, I live here."
"I mean why aren't you at the Jedi Temple?"
"I talked to Obi-Wan yesterday night after you had fallen asleep. He has gotten everything taken care of. He says that I have a couple weeks off because the council will think I'm on a mission to protect you."
"That's great, I have to go to a meeting today, so I'll be home late."
"So you are going to talk to them about going back to Naboo."
"Naturally."
Anakin laughed at this, not really knowing why, but it was a funny answer. Padme hit him on the head with a pillow, a serious expression plastered on her face. It said: That is so not funny Master Skywalker and you are going to get it when I get home tonight. But Anakin didn't care, he didn't mind letting Padme control something's they did….
By the time Anakin's thoughts had ended, Padme was out of bed and getting ready for her meeting. As Padme finished her make-up and getting her 'business stuff' together, Anakin was in a world of his own, wondering what Padme's 'family reunion' would have in store for them.
"Bye love, I'll be back tonight." Padme kissed Anakin quickly and rushed out the door without another word.
Later that night, Anakin found himself sitting at the table, reading the paper. Padme entered the kitchen and sighed heavily as she sat down in the chair across from him.
"Bad day?"
"Of course!"
"So what happened when you asked them for a break?"
"They agreed that I need time off, they gave me a couple weeks." Padme answered and rested her head in her hands. Her elbows were on the table. She was staring at him, thinking about what would happen tomorrow.
"How do you think your parents will react?"
"Hmm…" Padme placed a finger on her lip, thinking, "They'll probably be very surprised for the first two weeks and then on the last week they will love you."
"Oh joy, two weeks of awkwardness."
"Don't worry, I'll be there."
"Who ever said I was worried."
"Well-" Anakin cut Padme off with a kiss, deciding to end this conversation before it turned into a fight that they both didn't want.
Anakin picked Padme up, and carried her into their room, where they would spend the last night of happiness for a long time. They had no idea how awful staying with her parents and exposing the truth would be.
