Chapter 6 (Jobal's POV)
I think this is the biggest challange my family ever had. There are just so many people here and if we don't get to Senator Organa fast, we might lose the only chance to find Padme. We have to hurry. With that I start making my way in the crowd with more force.
"Excuse me, I have to get to the stage. Sorry." I can't believe just how snobish this people are. How can Padme live in such a place?
"And where do you think you are going?" a young woman asks me. I take my time to study her. She has her hair in a complicated style, her long dress is red with a lot of gems on it and she wears a pair of very high heels. I think she is a Senator or has a similar job. "I asked you 'where are you going'! Honestly, do you not know what respect is? Even so, I suggest you show me some or I swear that I will ruin you and your family!" Great. This attracted everyone's attention. Even the Senators and the Jedi are looking at us.
"Senator Chuchi, what is going on?" Senator Organa asks her before I can say anything.
So I was right. This woman is really a Senator. How can Padme work with her? Perhaps they don't stand each other.
"I'm sorry. I was actually in a hurry to get inside and I'm afraid I pushed Senator Chuchi out of my way. I apologise." I really hope no one will question me further.
"Who are you?" I spoke too soon.
"I am Jobal Naberrie of Naboo." I couldn't lie to him. I hope he doesn't know Padme"s birth name.
"Come with me. We have a lot to talk Lady Naberrie." So he knows.
I motion to my family to follow me and together we make our way inside with Senator Organa. He leads us to his office and tells us to make ourselves confortable. I want to start asking him about Padme, but something helds me back. I wait for him to start speaking.
"As you already saw, Padme has gone into labour earlier. I know it has come as a big shock to you. Padme had a reason for hiding the truth. I'm sorry, but it's not my secret to tell. All I can say is that your daughter is at the hospital where all the famous persons go. I can't remember its name, but I recall her telling me the place where she wanted to give birth to the twins if she couldn't go to Naboo. I suggest you go there as soon as possible if you want to be there in time to meet your new family members."
"Thank you for telling us where Padme is. I have a question if you don't mind me asking." I really need to know this. Even if it doesn't concern the birth of my youngest grandchildren.
"Go ahead my lady."
"Do Padme and Senator Chuchi get along? I'm way too curious.
"I had a feeling you would ask me that. No, the two of them don't get along. They actually hate each other."
"Good. I don't particulary like her either. Anyway, we have to go. Thank you for your time Senator Organa. We truly apreciate it." We really need to get to Padme otherwise I would've asked more about this. Who would have thought that my daughter would hate someone. A first time for everything, I guess.
I motion for my family to stand up and after we bid Senator Organa goodbye, we leave.
Sola gets out her datapad from her bag and starts searching directions for the hospital we must get to.
"Found it. It's actually very close. I would say that we can get there in five minutes."
Good. I don't think I can spend another hour without knowing how Padme is.
