Chapter Six:

Ten years later…

Anakin sat in a dark room, slowly rocking back and forth with a tiny bundle held tightly in his arms. And for the first time in a long time, he had a genuine smile on his face.

"How's she doing?" Padmé gently asked, as she stood in the doorway.

"Sleeping soundly," he replied, as he slowly stood up and placed Galen, their newborn daughter, back in her cradle.

Padmé moved next to him and he pulled her close. They stood there and watched over her for a few minutes. It was a bittersweet moment in what had seemed like a nightmare. It had taken them a lot to get where they were now.

The first five years of Palpatine's reign, Anakin and Padmé moved from system to system under their new identities. They kept moving around, trying not to be discovered as they tried to break away from their old personas as Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala and became Ani and Amy Ronoco.

Even having these new identities sometimes didn't seem like enough. Those were the times that Anakin regretted giving Obi-Wan his lightsaber to give to Luke when he was to start his Jedi training. Anakin was now forced to use a blaster as a way of protecting him and Padmé. That was until they rescued an injured Nikkëi, named Wulfitz (Wulfie for short). The Nikkëi are wolf like creatures, from Nikkëi'tz, who walked upright like a Wookie, but weren't as tall. Yet their demeanor was quite similar.

Wulfie was a blessing in both of their eyes. He had been taken from his home at a very young age by slave traders, who eventually released him. But by then the Empire was formed and they were suspicious of most any other species besides humans. So when Anakin and Padmé came across him, he had been wounded by some storm troopers and left for dead. They took a chance with him, after much pleading from Padmé, and nursed him back to health. And for that he was in their debt.

They had told him not to worry about it, but Wulfie insisted. So Anakin gave in on one condition, that he became part of their family. Wulfie humbly agreed.

After many run ins with the Imperials as well as many close brushes with death, Anakin felt that he and Padmé could in fact trust Wulfie with their lives. That was when they revealed to him that they weren't Ani and Amy Ronoco, but really Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. When they told him that, Wulfie vowed even more so to protect his new family. Like himself, Anakin was a former slave, who had once made a difference in the galaxy. And it had been Anakin's story that helped Wulfie get through his time as a slave.

So once things began to cool off in the galaxy, Anakin took up Bail on his offer of helping him establish a shipping company. They based it on the planet Kit'os in the Kit'os system. It was a mid rim system, bustling with all kinds of commerce and trade. Along with that it was in middle of many trade routes.

Within no time, the Ronoco Shipping Company was a huge success. It had a large part to do with just how fast Anakin and Wulfie would get their shipments to their destinations. Then one afternoon after being on Kit'os for about three years, stranger from their past ended up on their doorstep. And Padmé could not be happier.

Sabé had been looking for Padmé for what seemed like an eternity. They had grown up together and eventually Sabé became one of Padmé 's loyal bodyguards.

Even Anakin as well was happy Sabé had shown up. Now he wouldn't worry so much when Padmé didn't want to go on a shipment run with him and Wulfie.

But nothing would prepare him for what Padmé had told him about eight months ago. She told him that she was two months pregnant. His reaction this time was much different then when she told him she was pregnant with the twins. No, this time he fainted.

The next seven months flew by. This time around Anakin didn't have the nightmares of Padmé dying, which was much to his relief. But he still lived in fear, as well as Padmé. And their fear spread to Wulfie and Sabé.

Wulfie knew why they were both fearful most of the time, but Sabé was somewhat in the dark. She had been sent back to Naboo before Padmé learned that she was pregnant with the twins. And even when she arrived on Kit'os, they never told her about them. What they had told her was that they had to change their names because of Palpatine. Which wasn't lie, but wasn't all of the truth.

Once Padmé told her, Sabé understood perfectly. No parent should have to live in fear daily about their child begin taken from them. Especially if that child was a threat to the status quo.

But once Galen was born, her parents were nothing but happy. She was now the sunshine in their lives. Yes, they missed Luke and Leia dearly. But they knew that someday they would be reunited with them. And now they had Galen.

Immediately they both formed a tight bond with her. And they made a promise that in no way would she be taken away from them. Not by Yoda. Not by Obi-Wan. And especially not by Palpatine.

Now she was a month old. And what a wonderful month it had been for everyone. Anakin and Padmé were thrilled, Sabé was happy in her role as Honor mother, and Wulfie had lots of fun planning out how he was going to baby proof the house that they all shared once Galen was able to move around on her own. Never had there been so much love in one household.

"Come on Padmé. Let's get some sleep." Anakin said softly.

Padmé nodded yes. Galen would be up in a few hours screaming at the top of her tiny lungs for attention. So any sleep at all was taken seriously.

As soon as Anakin and Padmé had left Galen's nursery, a small glimmer appeared next to her cradle as the image of a spirit came into view.

He was a tall man with a beard and long hair. He smiled gently at the baby as she slept without knowing he was there.

"You, Galen Skywalker, will show no signs of being Force sensitive until needed. And needed you will be," he quietly said as he brushed his fingers along her forehead. Then he disappeared into the Force.

"It is done."

Yoda sighed as the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn rang through his head. He knew that there was another Skywalker child. And that this time her parents would not let her be taken away. So other means of protecting the child had to be taken.

Preventing her from being able to touch the Force was the only way.

AN #2: I know that there is a wolf like creature in the SW Galaxy. But I knew nothing about him/her/it..so I made up my own.!
