"Anakin, I'm putting the twins down now! Are you going to say good-night?" Padme called. Luke and Leia were 6 months old. They were both crawling and have C-3PO and Padme busy all the time.

"Huh? Umm…sure. I'll be right there!" Anakin called back. He has been working on building Padme a PT-274 Nanny Droid to help her with the twins. He walked into the twin's room. It was painted a light lavender color, Padme's choice. Both of the twin's faces lit up when they saw their father walk in.

"'Ory, 'ory!" Luke cried

"A story? Hmm…Ok" Padme said. Anakin was itching to get back to working on that droid. Padme noticed and sent a glare his way.

"Ani," She warned.

"Oh, fine I'll tell them one." He sighed "Ok, what story do you want Lukie? Hmmm, what about the one where Daddy blew up the droid control center during the battle of Naboo?" Luke giggled, that was his favorite one of the few altered stories they told the twins of their life. They decided that it would be best to not tell the twins about the Jedi.

"Ok, so, when Daddy was 9, he went to Naboo, where Mommy was Queen. The planet was at war and her people were dying. So, Daddy went with some people to help her. But, it got very dangerous, so Daddy and R2 hid in a Nubian star fighter. But the fighter was on autopilot and it left with Daddy in it. It flew Daddy and R2 to a droid control center where the fighter got over-heated! But, R2 got it to cool down. While Daddy was shooting at the droids, Daddy accidentally hit a power generator! And it blew up! Luckly, Daddy got out in time, though. "

Luke giggled and Leia turned over, quite bored. She thought the story was so boring. Leia loved the romance stories that Mommy told her about her and Daddy. "I wish Daddy was telling a funner story" she thought "not fair!"

"And then Daddy…umm…was…a…umm," Anakin didn't want to say anything about the Jedi and it was difficult to do so at this point in the story.

"Was the hero and ended the fighting. The End" Padme finished walking in. She had sensed Anakin's discomfort, and came in to see what the problem was.

"OK, good night Lukie, good night…Leia? Aww she fell asleep. Probably to the sound of her Daddy's melodious voice," Anakin joked.

"Or maybe she was bored," Padme said "Love you two, good night!"

-Later that Night-

"Angel?" Anakin asked "Are you awake?" No reply.

"Hmm she must not be. I'm gonna go check on the twins…" He thought. He slowly rolled out of bed and walked out of his and Padme's room. He slowly approached the door and turned the knob. He softly tiptoed over to their cribs and watched his two little blessings.

"Luke, Leia, I want you both to know that I love you. And so does your mother. No matter what happens to anyone of us, we will always love you."

A/N:

The next chapter will be of the twins when they are 1 ½ or 2.
