A couple of hours later Jaden turned up at Padme' apartment already knowing that Anakin would be there. Jaden and Anakin shared a flat, which basically meant that Jaden was Anakin's cover for whenever he went to see Padme where as one of Padme' former handmaidens normally lied for her if anyone came looking for her and she was out with Anakin.

"Hey Pad," he said pulling the small brunette into his arms "Anakin told me you are pregnant that is great news,"

"Thanks Jay." She replied "did he tell you he was going onto the council?"

"I know its great isn't it?" Jaden said with a smirk looking at his best friend "seems like he has the best look recently he had a beautiful wife and a child on the way and promoted to be in the council meetings and still going and killing Dooku it makes me wonder how he had the time to get you pregnant,"

Padme laughed and playfully tapped Jaden' face before walking off into the kitchen to check on what they were eating for dinner. When she came back Anakin walked into the kitchen to serve the dinner into plates so that she could sit down and the two Jedi' told her they could just summon the food from the table rather than her rushing around after them.

"So you want me to come with you then?" Jaden asked Padme "to Naboo?"

"Yes," Padme said "queen Amelia has said that you are most welcome to come with me after all having two Jedi on the planet to protect me and her is better than just Anakin."

"I already warned your husband," Jaden said playfully waving the knife from his dinner set at her "no setting me with Amelia ok?"

"Fine." Padme said rolling her eyes "you are so obsessed with not being set up with her that I think you like her to be honest."

Jaden laughed and couldn't help but feel like he had been outsmarted by the very smart former queen.

"Anyway," Padme said "how is your training with Anakin going? Not that you will tell me why you have been training more after killing Dooku surely the war will be toning down not speeding up with Dooku dead."

"But it isn't Dooku behind it all though," Jaden said "and we are damned if we don't know who it is we think there is a sith version of Yoda behind the whole thing pulling the strings as it certainly doesn't end with Grievous neither him or Dooku are smart enough to pull this elaborate plan off on their own even with the help of the other."

"So who do you think it is?" Padme asked

"Someone in the senate" Jaden said "or someone with links in the senate where they can hear what the senate are agreeing on as it seems that they have plans before the senate have implemented what they want to implement,"

"You could be right," Padme said and then Anakin brought in the food

"Enough of the political talk," he begged "you two could put me to sleep seriously, I mean all this talk of spies and traitors that is our day jobs, before we killed Dooku all we did around here was eat and drink and you want to turn our home into a debate on who is on our side and who isn't."

Jaden smiled at this and Padme relented to her husband' request.

"Have you still got your podracer?" Jaden asked

"No why?" Anakin asked

"There is a podrace on Naboo coming up," Jaden said "you could race in it and win it,"

"It could be a trap," Padme said "lulling everyone into a false sense of security I wouldn't recommend it" Anakin nodded and Jaden jokingly made a soft whipping sound.

"Oh shut up Jay," Padme said "you two are worse than children."

"That' why you love us though right?" Anakin said and the look on Padme' face told him that he was right, himself and Jaden had been told on multiple occasions that they had brought a warmth back to the Jedi academy that they had long believed to be dead.

"Right," Jaden said standing up an hour later "dinner was as lovely as always Padme, I will see you in the morning for me to kick your ass again Anakin and we will have to decide when we are going to Naboo."

"He is so in love with Amelia," Padme said

"Oh no," Anakin said "leave them alone if they are going to get together they can get together on their own they do not need you getting involved Padme Skywalker."

"Oh," Padme said with a small grin "but I just wanted to help them after all they would be so good together just like we are the Jedi and the queen."

"Ok," Anakin relented not wanting to argue with his wife "but if you get involved you are subtle and nothing that can get me into trouble ok?"

"When do I ever get you in trouble dear?" she teased "you do that on your own."
