In the last few hours Vader had done the blood test several times. He even killed the technician whom was responsible for the upkeep on this computer. He had also tried the test at a different location. But no matter how many times he did the test the midiclorine count was always the same. Leia's midiclorine count was off the chart, in fact just as high as his.
"Could it be that she is my daughter?" Vader thought to himself.
No, she could not be his daughter. Padme died before she gave birth to their kids. But what if she really is your daughter? Maybe Padme is still alive... or at the very least you have a piece of her left.
A piece of Padme. The thought appealed to him.
"You know that there is only one way to know," the newer voice said.
"You mean a blood test of paternity?" Vader answered the voice.
"You want to know don't you?" asked the older voice.
"It would make sense with her high midiclorine count," came the newer voice.
"This is true," Vader answered.
"Trooper, one more sample from her, Vader demanded, and you take one from me."
The one trooper did as he asked. But the other one was not sure where to get the sample from Vader.
"Uh, Sir, the storm trooper spoke nervously, Where do I..."
"Silence," Vader cut him off using the force choke."
He had always hated it when people would make comment about his suit, his hell. His life. His punishment for killing Padme. He then removed part of the shoulder strap of his suit.
"You, Vader asked another trooper, take the sample." and the other storm trooper who Vader had been choking died.
Within minutes the blood samples were put into the computer to be read for paternity.
"What do you think the baby is?" Padme asked.
"You mean that you don't know, we have the technology to know what the baby will be even after conception?" Anakin asked.
"I know, Padme answered him, but I kind of want the baby's gender to be a surprise."
"Ah... that would be nice, a little surprise," Anakin confirmed.
"I do think the baby is a boy," Padme stated.
"No, I am pretty sure that its a girl," Anakin countered.
"Your using the force aren't you?" Padme asked him.
"No, I am just stating the fact that the baby is a kicker," Anakin answered her.
"Well, my mother's instinct tells me that the baby is going to be a boy," Padme challenging his theory.
Vader snapped himself out of the flashback.
"I have to quit dwelling on the past. I past that I destroyed the only person whom I love... and still love," Vader concluded.
"But I do not love anymore, Vader began to use the methods of the Sith to win this battle There is only Hate. There is only Power."
Just then the computer had finished reading the test. Vader looked at the screen. For the first time in nearly 20 years, while he wore the suit, the breathing had stopped completely for about a minute.
"She is my daughter, Vader thought, at the very least a part of Padme is still alive... could Padme be alive... Could Palpatine have lied to me all these year?"
"So you were right you have a daughter," the older voice spoke to him.
"Yes, Vader answered back, For the first time in nearly 20 years, I do not know what to do."
