"Breathe Padme, breathe."
Obi-Wan stood over Padme in the Polis Massa medical center while she was giving birth to her twins. Obi-Wan didn't care for the place; it was too white and foreign. He took his hand and ran it through his soot stained hair and sighed. His mind kept bringing him back to the lava planer of Mustafar, and how he slaughtered his best friend, his brother. He looked down at Padme and he saw what Anakin had done.
Padme's eyes slowly opened and she saw that Anakin was not present. 'Is he truly gone?' she thought to herself. The heartbreak was too much for her to bear, the man she lived for had died. "I…know, I know that there is still good in him Obi-Wan." She whispered. 'I just know there is, Ani, I'm so sorry.' Blackness blanketed my eyes after I said goodbye to the one I love, the one who left me.
"No Padme! Your twins need you, Anakin needs you!" Obi-Wan shouted, and for the first time Obi-Wan fell to his knees. "Please Padme, don't give up."
Her eyes shot open to the sound of Anakin's name. The monitor began to beep as life shot back into Padme. She began to cough and she appeared to be very frail. The medical droids went into action as soon as her vitals increased.
Obi-Wan smiled for he knew that the twins would at least have their mother with them throughout their lives. 'Anakin, I am sorry old friend, but you are a danger to your wife and to your children, I will swear on my life that you shall never have the chance to corrupt them.' Obi-Wan made his silent promise and decided on the action that he wanted to take in telling Padme of the events on Mustafar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Breathing…….
"Where…is Padme, is she alright?" Vader breathed out of his new black prison.
Sidious needed to think fast, he would not lose the most powerful force user besides himself to that silly senator. 'I know exactly what to do'
"I am afraid Lord Vader that in your anger on Mustafar, you killed her."
There was a deep and heavy silence that blanketed the room as Vader took in this new information. "What? No, she...she was still alive! She...No!" In his anger he freed himself from the medical table and destroyed the contents of the medical bay into pieces.
After Vader was able to regain his composure he decided that his new place was by his master, he had nothing left to live for. He had given up so much, his angel, was dead. 'I…I killed her. Why couldn't I have died on Mustafar? I could have joined her.' Every single one of his thoughts was focused entirely on her. He made his way to the bridge and stood near the huge glass plated window.
He looked at his reflection and down at his hands, 'she wouldn't even recognize me, I am happy that she does not have to see me in this state.' He crossed his arms and stared out into deep space, 'my angel, forgive me.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padme felt like her very soul was forced out of her body. Her throat ached but she could handle that pain, the gaping hole in her heart was what she was worried about.
She was drifting in and out of consciousness, but for the brief moments she was awake, her thoughts would drift to him. Everything in the room reminded her of him, the sheets, the curtains, even the walls. She could not escape her own thoughts.
Her lids felt heavy and she was beginning to drift off again when she heard something. A faint whisper that called out to her, 'my angel, forgive me.' Her eyes immediately opened for at that very moment she knew who it was. 'It couldn't have been, that whisper, sounded nothing like….my' she couldn't even think of his name it hurt her so much, 'that voice sounded like it was in pain' she cringed at the thought of Anakin in that much pain. She could not fight the exhaustion anymore; she fell back into her deep sleep and dreamt of happier times, with him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obi-Wan was leaning against the wall outside of Padme's hospital room. His thoughts were all centered on the upcoming conversation he knew that he needed to have with Padme, about what happened on Mustafar.
He felt as though there was a Jedi on one shoulder, and a Sith on the other, both whispering words of what he should say.
'I could tell her the truth, that Anakin has fallen under the sway of the dark side, but that would result in Padme losing what is left of her very soul.'
Obi-Wan massaged his temples and began to really think, he reached out into the force looking for any kind of guidance, but he found none. He placed his face in his hands and sat down.
'Perhaps I could…..' Obi-Wan shook his head. 'No, I could never tell her that. What if he ever found out, what would happen then?'
He finally stood up and decided that it was now or never. This conversation was inevitable. Obi-Wan walked over to Padme's door and raised his hand to knock, but the door opened immediately. He then became nervous and placed his hand on the hilt of his lightsaber. He moved quickly and quietly throughout the entire room and found nothing. The force did not warn him of any danger so he began to relax. He looked over to a sleeping Padme and next to her bed were two bassinettes, one blue and one pink. He smiled and walked over to the twins. As Obi-Wan looked into the eyes of Luke and Leia an idea popped into his head.
'No, they couldn't have, they are so young' He laughed at himself for thinking that Luke and Leia could have tapped into the Force and opened the door for him. But in the back of his mind he knew that to be true. He would have to think about this later when things began to calm down.
He broke his gaze into their bright blue eyes and turned his attention to Padme. She looked so peaceful in her deep sleep and Obi-Wan felt terrible for having to wake her up and bring her into this nightmare.
Obi-Wan quietly pulled up a chair next to Padme's bed and tapped into the Force to gently wake her. Her eyes popped open and saw not Anakin, but Obi-Wan. She inhaled and sighed. She slowly began to sit up and as she looked around the room once more, desperately hoping that Anakin would be there.
Obi-Wan knew who she was looking for and he knew what he had to do. This was for her protection as well as the twin's protection.
Padme turned her head to Obi-Wan and looked deep into his eyes, trying to figure out what had happened and why his Jedi robes were covered with scorch marks.
"Padme, how are you feeling?" Obi-Wan asked trying to put off this conversation for as long as he possibly could.
She ignored his questions, she wanted answers and she wanted them now.
"Obi-Wan, where is Anakin is he alright? The last thing I remember was that he was angry with me, extremely angry…I…never saw him like that in my entire life, please obi-Wan tell me what has happened" her voice began to crack because she feared that something horrible has happened to the man she loved.
"Padme, I shall tell you everything, the only thing I ask is that you do not interrupt me until I am done, can you do this for me?" Padme nodded her head and turned every ounce of her attention onto Obi-Wan.
'Oh force, I hope I am doing the right thing' and with that last thought Obi-Wan began to tell his own story of what happened to Anakin.
