Amidala felt a cold shiver crawl down her back and it wasn't because space was cold. It was because her love and the father of her children, Anakin Skywalker, the good man she loved was dead. Years ago, she had given up hope that he'd return and live happily ever after, tell her he was sorry and live the life of a fairy tale. That never happened. He never came back, never told her he was sorry, probably never even thought about her.
What a fairy-tale life we've had, Anakin. If only we had a happy ending.
If her life were classified as a state of being - it would be a tragic love story. A classic. And if cross-referenced, it would be considered a doomed love triangle. It was a love triangle because of a single man and true love, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. When she was younger, she had a crush on him like her other handmaidens. Yet despite Anakin, she remained close to Obi-Wan and considered him her closest friend. He was, only it was tragedy that made their feelings for each other surface.
She huffed remembering the night Obi-Wan told her about Anakin's demise. The Jedi held her tightly as she cried into his chest. After awhile, the reality of the situation of hit her and she stared up at Obi-Wan. For so long, they had waited to find some way to be with one another and it happened. He nodded, sensing her feelings. "Amidala, we can't. It wouldn't be right. You're grieving." He whispered, still holding her. "I've always loved you, but now isn't the time - for either of us. We have to hide you."
Amidala backed away from his arms, confused. "Hide me? What are you talking about?"
"Amidala, you're life is at risk. I know Anakin is gone, but there is still a chance Palpatine will resurrect him and when that happens, he'll most likely warrant your death."
She turned to him credulously. "Anakin would never kill me. He loves me."
"Yes, but he's not Anakin anymore, your highness." Obi-Wan paused. "Amidala, we must act before it is too late. Otherwise, all is lost."
Amidala finger her desk. "Only all is lost."
He nodded. "No. It isn't. We will get through this." Obi-Wan straightened up, the aura of a wise man emanating off him. "I promise."
She turned to him, frowning. "Obi-Wan, I trust your judgment and advice. But all I ask right now is to be alone. I need to think, find peace."
The Jedi nodded, understanding her meaning. "Of course, your highness." He bowed, whispering, "I'll be here if you need anything. I'll never leave you." Before she could reply, the Jedi was gone...
Though that was 11 months ago, it seemed like yesterday to her. He kept his promise. Obi-Wan never left her the way Anakin did, but after a time, she realized he would leave her because he could no longer put her life in danger. Sooner or later, she would lose another important, dear friend to her and it was only a matter of time until that happened. She sighed.
"Amidala? Are you all right?" a familiar voice asked.
Her gaze shifted to her open door. Obi-Wan walked in, kneeling next to her. He nodded, prompting her to continue. "I was just thinking."
Obi-Wan smiled, interested in what she was going on in that mind of hers. "About what?"
"The Past." She looked down, feeling her stomach. "I know what happened was probably a mistake, but if it was - I don't regret it. I'm having Anakin's children and I know, no matter what happens to them - I'll always love them...and you."
He flinched. "Amidala..."
She placed two fingers on his lips, silencing him. "Obi-Wan, you have always been special to me. Very special. I never regretted knowing you and because of that, I have to ask you something very important."
His nodded, urging her on. She smiled at him kindly, once again feeling her large belly. "You have to promise me."
"Anything."
"Watch over them for me and if they ever ask about me, don't tell them anything."
The Jedi was about to protest, but allowed her to continue. "I know I've made some mistakes. But whatever mistakes were made, I don't want them to know. The Past is the Past - it can't be changed but the future can. They can change the whole future and I'll love them for that, but to look back on the past and what could have been is depressing. They don't need to know that the man I married, I never really loved. I did love Anakin, but it wasn't the way I felt about you."
"Then may I ask, how should your children remember you and Anakin, highness?"
She leaned back and smiled wishfully. "They should remember me as a simple handmaiden to a Queen long forgotten and Anakin as a simple slave boy with a dream to be a Jedi. That's how they should remember us, remember me."
He nodded, agreeing with her. "I will watch over them and when the time is right, I will train them." Obi-Wan let down his guard and slumped back. "I've always loved you, Amidala. Never forget that."
She frowned. "That's another thing. You should; you should forget me."
"No, no, Amidala! I won't. How can I? How can you ask me do something like that?"
"I ask because it's safer for both of us to forget each other. It's easier that way. All they should know is that you were Anakin's former Master, not that you loved me. Because you loved me, Anakin crossed over to the Darkside." She paused, sitting up a bit. "Obi-Wan, please. Do this for me. Promise me."
He nodded. "All right. I promise. I'll watch over them and never tell them the truth about us. And you're right. They should never know. Never."
Amidala smiled hopefully, though the worst was yet to begin...
