Meet the Parents

Summary: Padme's parents know that she's married, but they don't know to who. So when Padme and Anakin are asked back to Naboo, for a 'family reunion' things do not goes as planned.

Chapter 4

Jobal clutched the dish towel tightly to her chest as she watched her daughter and that stupid Jedi. She was going to get Padme a divorce as soon as possible. She deserved so much better. She had the perfect guy picked out for her and Padme was going to marry him. She just knew it.

NABOO – NABERRIE HOUSE – EARLY MORNING

Padme yawned and sat up in her bed. She looked at Anakin who was still sleeping besides her. It was a surprise to her eyes when she saw him next to her, because he was never there before. Usually leaving for early missions or retreating back to the temple because Obi-Wan would notice that he was gone. Padme had never really realized what it felt like to just be normal for a change. She sat there for a second before walking out into the kitchen. Jobal was sitting at the table and was rubbing her temples.

"Good morning mother." Padme greeted and smiled politely. Jobal looked up and grinned at her daughter; she sighed and dropped her hands to her side.

"Morning Padme."

Padme helped herself to the coffee. "So what's plan for today?"

"Well your aunt, Sola, and this young man about your age are coming over for lunch and dinner. How does that sound?" Padme almost spit out her coffee. Her head jerked back in confusion.

"What's the young man's name?"

"Well, you see Padme-"

"Mother, what's his name?"

Jobal sighed, "Palo."

"Palo?" Padme shrieked and looked at her mother in disbelief. "What is Palo doing here?"

"Well Padme, I just thought-"

"You're doing it again mother; you're trying to set me up when I'm already happy." Jobal laughed nervously.

"I just don't think you're as happy as you think."

"Of course I am happy!" Padme protested and Jobal pushed her towards her room.

"Don't worry about it Padme, I just invited him because he is part of our family. Nothing's going to happen." Padme shifted her weight from one leg to the other. She shook her head and exhaled loudly.

"Fine – but I'm not talking to him." Jobal waved this away.

"Go get changed, he'll be here in a couple of hours." Padme crossed her arms across her chest and walked out of the room and into her old room where Anakin was still asleep. She sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. She then laid down and wrapped her arms around Anakin's neck. She snuggled into his side and stayed there.

"What's wrong?" Anakin questioned as he wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"My mother invited Palo to lunch and dinner along with my judgmental aunt and my sister Sola."

"Palo? You mean your ex-boyfriend."

"In the flesh." She rested her head in the crook of his neck and closed her eyes. "I can't believe her, but I guess I can't expect anything else from my mother."

"We should leave." Anakin said firmly causing Padme's eyes to snap open.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I am Padme; your mother is trying to break us up."

"But I have my dad and my nieces and my sister… I can't just leave because of my mother." Padme played with his hair as he shook his head.

"Padme…"

"Please Anakin, for me." She batted her eyes lashes and Anakin laughed.

"Only if we can stay like this for awhile." Anakin said as last and Padme nodded.

"Thank you so much Ani, I love you."

"I love you too Padme."

NABOO – NABERRIE HOUSE – EARLY AFTERNOON

Padme stood in the backyard dressed in a blue dress that was chopped off at her knees. Usually she would have refused to this kind of dress, because she loved long flowing dresses, but Anakin had told her that it looked great on her, so she couldn't refuse. She wore high-heels, which was also against her rules, but her mother had insisted that she wore them. Sola was going on about something or another and Padme was only half listening.

"So Padme, you're married to Anakin Skywalker? The chosen one?" Padme looked at her sister who was starring at her. Padme shrugged and then realized what Sola was talking about.

"Yes, well we're trying to keep that quiet Sola." Sola blushed and offered to get Padme something to drink.

"I'm fine," Padme said and Sola walked away. "Great, now I've scared away my sister." She looked around the backyard to find Anakin talking to her aunt and Palo approaching her. She hadn't seen him in so long. She tried to look interested in the thread that was on the sleeve of her shirt as Palo came closer. He looked like he had just walked out of a holo-gram fashion show, he was so handsome… Padme's heart fluttered, but then she thought about Anakin. She knew that her heart only burned for Anakin and she couldn't go and betray him because he was the love of her life.

"Padme…" He breathed and Padme looked at him and stuck out her hand for him to shake. He shook his head and took her in his arms. Jobal watched from a distance as her daughter was greeted by Palo with a hug and a kiss to the cheek. She smirked and turned back to her oldest daughter.

"Palo, it's nice to see you… It's been far too long." Padme said trying to sound polite, but she couldn't stand the thought of him kissing her cheek with her husband watching on. She looked at Anakin, who had glanced over and was sending Palo warning glances.

"Yes Padme, it's been far too long." Palo said and took in every inch of her. The way her hair fell on her shoulders and how she said his name. She was beautiful, more beautiful then before, if that was possible. She was everything he had ever wished for, but then he saw it. She was glancing at Anakin Skywalker – a Jedi. He looked back at her and found that her eyes were stuck on him. She wouldn't look at him.

"Padme?" She finally snapped out of trance and looked at Palo.

"What is it?" She questioned and gripped the cup that Sola had just dropped off.

"Why don't we go somewhere more quiet?"

"Is here not quiet enough?" Padme asked and Palo shook his head.

"We have so much to catch up on, why don't we sit in the corner with the table set up." Padme looked over at it, she hadn't even noticed it. She had overlooked it when she came out of the house. She sighed and gave in, sending one last glance at her husband before walking over to the table with Palo.
