Disclaimer: I don't own star wars George Lucas does. I just play with his characters and add my own.
Pam walked in her apartment exhausted. It had been another long day. Paul sat on the couch and looked up from his datapad.
"You're home late. Do you really train that long?" Paul asked.
"No, stopped by Padmé's hours ago. Sorry," Pam said. Paul stood up. He knew Pam all too well. She wouldn't lie to him, but she wouldn't mention important details.
"Was anyone else there?" Paul asked. Pam turned curiously towards him.
"That's an odd question to ask." Pam said.
"Maybe, but you still haven't answered yet." Paul reminded her. Pam bit her lip. She wasn't sure what to tell him. She promised never to tell. But she doubted that Paul would put two and two together.
"Anakin went with me." Pam said as Paul's eyebrows furrowed.
"He went with you?" Paul asked as his voice rose slightly.
"Yeah, he's a good friend of Padmé's." Pam said. Paul scoffed.
"So I don't see you hardly for the past month because you've been at 'Padmé's house' with Anakin?" Paul asked; the heat returning to his voice.
Pam's mouth drops open. Now she was putting two and two together.
"No! No! It's not like that. At all. Never. Ever." Pam said meaning every word but Paul didn't buy it.
"Right." Paul said sarcastically. Pam gasps.
"You don't believe me do you?" Pam asked hoping he'd deny it.
"No, you keep lots of things from me." Paul said as he walked out. Pam stood there in complete and utter shock. She could not believe it just happened.
Paul sat across from Padmé in the senate cafeteria. Paul's expression was sullen and quiet. Padmé noticed the difference in mood and was concerned.
"Something wrong?" Padmé asked. Paul looked at her surprised.
"Pam didn't tell you?" Paul asked confused.
"No, I haven't seen her in a few days." Padmé said.
"Oh."
"What's wrong?" Padmé asked.
"Pam has hardly been home and Anakin-" Paul cut off. Padmé froze. It was all he had to say. Padmé stood up.
"Follow me." Padmé said as Paul nodded and walked behind Padmé, not sure what to make of it. She led him to the rooftop garden on top of the senate building that was invisible to the naked eye. Paul shut the door and Padmé began:
"First of all, you're dead wrong about that. Second, you're not getting the whole truth because Pam's covering up for me. Did you know Jedi can't marry?" Paul shook his head.
"No, I didn't," Paul replied. Padmé took a deep breath.
"Anakin and I got married two years ago. When Pam found out a month ago, we made her keep it a secret as we do. I don't want your marriage to fall apart to protect ours." Padmé said. Paul sighed deeply.
"I really messed up didn't I?" Paul asked.
"Yes, you did."
"Thanks for telling me before I did more damage than before." Paul said.
"You're welcome." Padmé said. Paul started to walk out, but he stopped.
"Your secret's safe with me." Paul promised.
Paul walked in the front door to his apartment. He found Pam on the couch, clearly bored out of her mind.
"I'm sorry." Paul said. Pam turned around confused.
"What? Sorry about what?" Pam asked confused.
"Padmé told me about her and Anakin." Paul stated. Pam looked at him in disbelief and rubbed her ear.
"I'm sorry; I think I heard you wrong." Pam said.
"I said I know about Padmé and Anakin. What part didn't you hear?" Paul asked.
"All of it. She told you?" Pam asked.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I should have believed you." Paul said. Pam stands up and walks over to Paul.
"Yes, you should have," Pam said before she kissed him, "apology accepted."
