Title: Her, or Full Circle
Disclaimer: I don't any of these characters, but this particular story is mine, and I just hope that one day I will own some characters as good as these.

I smile at my son for the last time, before he turns away to live the life that I can never share with him. He is smiling at his sister, the daughter who is lost to me completely. For a moment, unbearable pain squeezes my heart as I think of the past and future that is lost to all of us. As Darth Vader, I never allowed thoughts of her, or the son I knew we had shared, to brighten the darkness I had surrendered to. But now, bittersweet memories flood my soul - the first time I ever saw her, a girl who was so beautiful, in body and spirit, that I thought I must finally be seeing an angel; that longed-for meeting, so many years later, when I found that the instant love I had felt for her before had only strengthened; our marriage, so completely wrong and yet so perfect; hearing the words 'you're going to be a father' for the first time. And then, feeling it all slip away in such a hopeless waterfall that I lost my grip on the good side of the force and sold my soul to the evil for what could have been forever... Until I was faced with the love that even my immense hatred could not destroy - our son. Obi Wan and Yoda have forgiven me so easily - they smile at me as I turn to them, opening my mouth to speak, and I realize that it is not necessary - I suppose it is obvious really, what I must do now.
'Go, my young Padawan,' Obi Wan says with a gentle smile, bringing back another flood of memories that fill my eyes with tears. How can they bare to look at me, speak to me, knowing what I have done? How can they find it in their hearts to forgive me, when they witnessed and experienced so many acts of indescribable evil? Will she be able to forgive me - she, the one who means more than everything to me? How can I be at peace until she tells me it's all right? I walk away slowly, trying to draw this moment out, so that I will not have to face it if I have destroyed all that we once shared. I find her where I knew she would be, outside looking in at our children with silent tears streaming down her face. Her gaze slowly turns to me. For a moment, we just look at each other, and I find that I cannot find the words. She has aged with me, and is as beautiful now as she ever was when we were young. My throat closes, a lump forms in my throat, and I am convinced that there is no hope. And then she runs into my arms, burying her tears in my shoulder as of old, and I know that everything is going to be all right. I cannot change the past, but she accepts that, she understands. We stand, still without needing to speak, arm in arm, and watch as Leia laughs at something Hans has said and reaches up for a kiss, and Luke talks shyly to a pretty rebel girl. Peace fills my soul, and I know that we have come full circle, however long it took to get there. I turn to Padme, my one love, my only her, and speak for the first time since our reunion.
'I never lost you. You were always with me, however far I pushed you away.'
She smiles faintly, and kisses me. 'I know.'

A/N: I love the ending of 'Return of the Jedi', but it annoys me that there's no sign of Padme, so this is my idea of how they would be reunited.
