Imperial Shuttle: En route to Coruscant:

Luke awoke from his sleep and quietly slipped his boots on as he climbed out of bed.

As he walked into the ship's lounge, he noticed Moff Treyu sipping a cup of Caf.

"Good morning Luke."

"Good Morning Sir," Luke replied.

Moff Treyu paused as he spoke, "Luke there is something that I have to tell you. We have about a day before we get to Coruscant, but I want to tell you before we arrive."

"What is it Sir?" Luke asked.

"I knew both of your parents very well Luke. I know who your Mother was."

"You do?" Luke asked in shock and disbelief.

Treyu nodded, "First off let me tell you my real name."

"Your real name?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I changed it after I left Naboo, I removed my family name and I have gone by only my first name for around thirty years. My real name is Treyu Naberrie. Your Mother's name was Senator Padme Amidala Naberie of Naboo."

"So you were related?" Luke asked in shock.

"Padme was my sister. She was ten years younger than me," Treyu replied

Luke looked at the Man in shock, "So you're My Uncle?"

"Yes."

"Did you know my Mom that well?"

"Your Mom was ten years younger than me. She was barely five the day that I left Naboo. We didn't see each other for about fifteen years after that."

"And you left my Granddad?"

Treyu nodded, "I left the Naberrie name behind so that he wouldn't find me after I ran from him. You see Luke, he wanted me to be just like him. I was his only Son and he wanted me to be a Professor like him and have an easy life. I wanted to make my own way and that is why I left. I went into the Republic Military Academy when I was fifteen and joined the Republic Forces, and I was in the Army of the Grand Republic until we were converted into the Imperial Navy and by then I had risen through the ranks."

"If my Mother was Senator, does that mean that she made her own choices?"

Treyu nodded, "My Dad learned the hard way because of me. He allowed both of my sisters to make their own choices. Your Aunt Sola chose to be a housewife and she ended up living and your Mom chose to go into Politics. She became Queen when she was fourteen."

"My Mom was a Queen?" Luke asked in shock.

Treyu nodded with a smile, "She was a very special girl. I knew her better than most."

"But you were away."

"After she finished her two terms as Queen, she became the Senator of Naboo. We ran into one another right after she became Senator, and we started having a Brother, Sister Relationship right after that."

"Do you know who killed her?" Luke asked.

"Yes," Treyu replied.

"Who?" Luke asked.

"Let's not talk about it," stated Treyu.

The last thing this boy needs to know is that his Father was responsible for his Mother's death, Treyu thought in silence.

The Day of Luke's birth, Padme had contacted Treyu via Comlink telling him of what Anakin had done and asking him for advice.

Treyu had tried to tell her to stay away from Anakin, He knew that Sith were to unpredictable and that if Anakin was truly a Sith that he was far from the same person that Padme loved. Unfortunately, he was unable to reason with her and that was why she was dead.

Shortly after, he had received word that Padme was dead along with her child.

After talking with Captain Typho the two of them both came to the conclusion that Anakin Skywalker was responsible for her death, or to be more realistic, Darth Vader.

Darth Vader had appeared at the same time that Skywalker had disappeared and he was more than capable of doing the things at the Jedi Temple that Padme had described to Treyu over the Comlink.

After that discussion, Treyu instantly realized that Skywalker was responsible for Padme's death although he didn't know for sure. He only could guess. He regretted the fact that he had been off in the Outer Rim the day of his Sister's death. Perhaps he would have had Luke had he been with Padme as she died and the boy would have had the truth in his life instead of lies.

Coruscant: Vader's Palace:

Vader watched as the doors to his chambers opened to reveal Pooja Naberrie.

Vader looked at Pooja noticing that she was clad in a beautiful golden dress that came down just past her knees along with a beautiful set of matching leggings, her shoulders and her back were left completely bare. She had a beautiful Nabuian crest that matched the dress that rested on her neck. She had her hair penned up by matching hair pens.

The young Senator was for certain a lovely sight.

He smiled, "I am glad that you made it."

Pooja smiled at the Dark Lord in response as she stepped forward, "I have nothing else planned for the night."

Vader took her hand and spoke, "Join me on the patio, I have a table set up with dinner. We can enjoy the sunset while we eat."

Pooja nodded as she walked with the Dark Lord towards his elaborate patio.

Vader quietly pulled out a seat for Pooja before seating her as he sat down across from her.

As they ate, Vader felt his desire for Pooja increasing. He almost wondered why it was happening at this given moment, but by looking at her his desire only grew.

"So after my Aunt died, did you ever have any other girls in your life?" Pooja asked.

Vader shook his head, "I never did. I didn't exactly meet anyone after her and she was my first love. I never got over it."

Pooja frowned, "It is so painful, all of the emptiness. I mean why do we have to lose the people that we love so quickly?"

Vader frowned, "I was asking that very question when I was around your age Pooja. I have been asking that question for all of my life. I wish I could give you an answer and help you with the people your missing, but I can't no more than you can help me. You can never get over the pain from it. At least, I never got over losing my Mother or your Aunt."

Pooja nodded as Vader continued, "There is no way to fully understand why they die so suddenly. I am thirty three years old and I am still searching for the answers. I carry the pain just as you do. It is a hard thing to live with at some points."

"It makes it harder to sleep at night," Pooja stated.

Vader nodded in silence as he realized that Pooja no doubt suffered from nightmares just as he did. Perhaps, she saw her Father's death in her mind again and again just as he saw his Mother's death along with Padme's death again and again.

After Vader and Pooja finished dinner, Vader quietly stood up and walked towards the banister as he looked towards the sunset.

At that moment, Pooja walked up to his left side, "It's a beautiful night for Coruscant," Pooja stated.

"It is indeed," Vader replied with a smile as he reached out and touched Pooja's bare back.

He found himself rubbing her back as he looked directly at her.

Pooja looked up at him nervously as though she was captivated by his gaze.

It was in that moment that Vader moved towards her without thinking and captured her lips.

Pooja merely returned the kiss as Vader took her in his arms. She shivered slightly as she felt Vader's hands running up and down her back.

At the same time, Vader broke the kiss as he stepped back, "I'm sorry."

Pooja in response stepped forward, "Don't be."

Vader mentally frowned as Pooja moved forward to kiss him.

Vader immediately realized what he wanted, he wanted Pooja here and now.

He ran his hands down her sides as his flesh hand stroked her bare back.

He immediately picked Pooja up and wordlessly, he carried her towards his bedroom.

He gently laid Pooja down on the bed, before before using the Force to close the door.

Imperial Shuttle: En route to Coruscant:

Treyu Naberrie looked at the Holoimage of Padme and Anakin standing romantically together in front of the balcony at the Lake House.

Luke didn't even have a picture of his Parents, the boy deserved at least that.

He would give Luke the Holoimage to keep.

He smiled as he left the room.

At that moment, He noticed Luke entering the lounge as he looked at his wrist chrono, "You're like your Father, He always was on time for any meal time from what your Mom told me."

Luke smiled at his uncle in response.

"Luke have you wondered what your parents look like?"

Luke nodded, "I saw a holoimage of my Dad from back when he was nine but otherwise I don't really know what he looked like."

"So your other Uncle lied to you about who he was and he never even told you what he looked like?" Treyu asked in disgust.

"Do you see why I left?"

Treyu nodded as he handed Luke the Holographic image, "That is your Mother and Father right after they were married."

Luke looked at the image in shock, "She's beautiful."

Treyu smiled as Luke stared at the image in silence.

Luke then spoke "I look like My Dad don't I?"

"You certainly do."

"Do I have anything from my Mother though?"

"Common sense, your Father never had much of that," stated Treyu with a smile.

Luke nodded as he looked at the image, "Why does he have that one braid?"

"It Marks him as a Padawan."

"Padawan?" Luke asked.

"That is another name for Jedi Apprentice. He was only nineteen when he married your Mother."

"Oh," Luke replied.

"How old was my Mom?"

"My Sister was Twenty four, If she was alive, she would be thirty eight," Treyu replied.

Luke nodded in silence as he looked back at the Holoimage.

"Thank you for showing this to me Uncle Treyu."

Treyu shook his head, "That is yours to keep Luke."

Luke looked at his Uncle in shock, "Really? You're giving it to me?"

"I think that you deserve to have an image of your Parents."

"Thank you Uncle."

"Do not ever show it to anyone at the Academy. Do you understand?"

Luke nodded, "I will keep it hidden."

"Good choice," Treyu replied.

Coruscant:

Vader awoke spooned up against Pooja Naberrie, he looked down at the young Senator with a smile as he ran a hand through her hair long dark hair.

He had enjoyed his night with her. She had reminded him of Padme in many ways. The feeling of her skin and her hair was enough at some points make him think that he was with Padme.

Much to Vader's shock, he was filling a strong amount of love towards the girl. He didn't know if it was good or bad. Was he betraying Padme by loving another after her?

"No, Padme would have wanted you to find someone," a mysterious voice replied in Vader's mind. A voice that Vader recognized but couldn't place.

At that moment, Pooja opened her eyes.

"You're awake."

"What time is it?" Pooja asked.

"It's noon," Vader replied.

Pooja gasped in shock and horror, "I am so sorry if I took you away from your duties."

Vader in response moved forward and kissed Pooja's lips, "I have nothing planned for today, and I really don't want to get up yet. I think that I want to enjoy you a little more."

Pooja smiled as she felt Vader's hand running down her bare back.

Vader pulled Pooja very close to him as he spoke, "Do you want this relationship to stay in place?"

Pooja looked at Vader with a smile, "You're giving me a choice?"

Vader nodded, "You chose to spend last night with me. I think that it is only fair that you make the choice."

Pooja was shocked, as powerful as Vader was, he could have any girl that he wanted.

Not that it would be hard with his looks but to give her the option showed her just how much good was actually left in him.

She knew that her Mother would be furious to know that she had given Vader her virginity, but he had made her feel complete and she could sense that he had needed the love as much as she did.

"Y-Yes, I mean if you want me to stay with you."

Vader nodded, "Like I said last night, we both have emptiness inside and questions that we can't answer. We both have lost loved ones and we have been damaged by it. All I can say though is your presence soothes my broken Spirit."

"The same is for me, I am feeling greater right now than I have in years, and the last time that I slept as well as I did last night was when my Father was still alive."

Vader smiled as he kissed Pooja, "I will help you move your belongings over here today."

Pooja nodded as she spoke, "I hope that you can find Aunt Padme's child."

"I want my child more than you will ever know. No parent should lose their child."

"What about the pigs that abuse their children though?" Pooja asked.

"Those people shouldn't have been parents anyway," Vader replied.

At that moment, Pooja felt Vader's calloused hand running up and down her right side. She looked him in the eye with a smile as he sealed her lips.

An hour later, Vader and Pooja found themselves in the dining room. Vader looked at Pooja with a smile as he spoke, "Shall we have breakfast or lunch?" Pooja giggled, "We really do have the option of either one don't we?"

Vader nodded as he wrapped his arms around Pooja and gave her an affectionate kiss.

"Let's go with breakfast."

"That is what I was thinking," Vader replied as he called one of his kitchen droids into the room.

Pooja then followed Vader into the living room as she sat down on the nearby couch.

She eagerly sat down on his lap as Vader spoke, "My Tunic fits you perfectly."

"I should have brought a nightgown."

Vader shook his head as he ran a hand up Pooja's thigh, "I think that the tunic works just as well."

Pooja smiled at Vader in response.

After finishing their breakfast together, Vader looked at Pooja and spoke, "If you would like, we can make the move for you in the next hour. I will head over to your apartment with you and help you gather up your belongings."

"Do you think that there will be enough room for my clothing?"

"Go and see how much room is in my closet and then tell me. I mean, I have like six other tunics that are identical to the one you're wearing. I really usually wear the same robes."

Pooja silently nodded in response.

Fifteen minutes later, Vader and Pooja found themselves fully dressed as Vader led Pooja into his personal Hanger.

Vader led Pooja towards his personal speeder after securing a Cargo container to the back of the speeder, and a short time later the couple drove off towards Pooja's apartment.

A few minutes later, the couple arrived inside of Pooja's apartment.

Vader looked around as Pooja spoke, "The furniture can stay. I really just want the Holoimages and my Computer and my clothing. There are a few other things that I wouldn't mind having but they are all easy to get."

"Then, I will take the first load of stuff over to my place and return after I drop it off."

"Should I tell my Landlord that I am leaving?"

"After you are moved," Vader replied.

Pooja nodded as she noticed Vader opening the Cargo container, "Go ahead and fill it up. I will head back to my palace and get another."

Vader then wordlessly left the room as Pooja started to pack.

Two hours later, Vader had Pooja fully moved into his Palace. He had used two cargo containers for her clothing and an additional container for some of her personal belongings, but loading and moving the containers had been fairly easy. Vader now had the task of helping Pooja unpack.

As he brought the containers that contained her clothing into his bedroom Pooja spoke, "I think today was a good day to do the move since most of the Senators were at the party that Senator Organa was throwing."

Vader nodded as he opened one of the containers.

"You weren't invited to the party?" Vader asked.

"I was, but I usually try to avoid gatherings like that. I mean I go to some of them but I like to keep to myself. Organa has been like a second Father to me though. I have confided in him many times."

"He cares, he was like that with Padme," stated Vader.

"Even though he is a member of the Alliance?"

"The fact that he is a Rebel doesn't change the fact that he was a true friend of my wife," Vader replied.

Pooja nodded in silence as she started to hang up several of her dresses inside of Vader's closet.

After an hour of unpacking, Vader looked out the window and spoke, "It is getting late, let's get some dinner and do the rest of the unpacking tomorrow."

Pooja nodded as she followed her boyfriend into the kitchen.

Vader glanced at Pooja noticing how much more secure the girl seemed mentally and emotionally. There was no doubt that she needed him as much as he needed her.

The couple ate a simple dinner together before heading for the nearby holonet screen.

The two of them watched a holocomedy for an hour sharing a little bit of laughter together.

Vader realized much to his shock that it was the first time that he had laughed in over ten years.

He looked at Pooja noticing the look in her eyes, "When was the last time that you laughed?" Vader asked.

"I think back when my Dad took me swimming, he picked me up and threw me into the pool. That was just a few days before his death."

"I am sorry," Vader replied.

Pooja shook her head, "What about you?"

"It was a few days before Padme's death, We were arguing about the gender of the baby. I kept insisting that we were going to have a baby girl that looked just like her. She kept insisting that we were having a baby boy that was going to look like me. In the end, we got into the most childish argument and it ended with us both laughing."

Pooja smiled, "That sound like cheap entertainment."

"It most certainly was that. We tended to lose our maturity together."

Pooja laughed as she felt the Dark Lord's hands on her.

"Are you ready for bed?"

"I'm not that tired yet."

"Neither am I, who says we have to sleep?" Vader asked.

"You're right," Pooja replied.

Alright that is it for now, I will try to have more up either on Thursday or Friday, If not more will be up on Monday. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
