I will have more up tonight. Enjoy.

Rebel Alliance Command Ship: Home One: Above Naboo:

Yoda stood on the bridge alongside Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar. Meditating in silence. He knew what was coming soon. He knew that it would be a battle that would destroy the Sith. He reached out in the Force knowing Anakin and Luke would have a new Ally to assist them in the battle. Just then Qui-Gon appeared, "Talk to him did you?"

"He agreed to face Anakin but he says his decision will be made after he sees how Anakin acts and after he meets Luke. He also said he will face you after the battle is over." Yoda nodded, "Good work together we all must no arguments or differences can we Have. To few in number we are."

"He agrees that we are part to blame for Anakin's fall."

"Twenty Two years Qui-Gon a lot to think about in that time there is. Even for my kind a long time it is. See the error in the Jedi Code I do. Changed it must be. Not to mention how much the New Order will benefit from the Marriages of all of the Skywalker children." Qui-Gon nodded in silence, "Hopefully so Master Yoda go I must."

Yoda nodded as Qui-Gon disappeared. Just then Yoda saw Mon Mothma approach him. "Master Yoda why do you blame yourself for Skywalker's turn?"

"Because of our rigidness. Never forgave us did he when we never let him rescue his mother from death. So blinded we were by the Code that forgot we did to have compassion. The code destroyed it must be when rebuild the Jedi we do." Mon nodded in silence. "What has he done to Padme though?"

"Redeemed Anakin is. Safe she is soon all things clear they will be to you, Mmmm Yes."

Executor:

Leia ended up watching her parents left the chambers for a walk together. She looked down at Ani with a smile and picked him up. "How are you today Ani?" Ani smiled at her. "See Just as Luke told you if your not angry he will bond with you," Leia heard Obi-Wan's voice echo throughout the room. Leia smiled down at her brother. "Now aren't you the cutest little baby? If only I hadn't been so angry I would have seen it." She ended up picking and tossing him in the air before setting him down on her lap. Just then she heard the suite doors open and saw Han and Chewie and Lando walk in. Han smiled at her, "You actually seem happy now." Leia nodded, "Qui-Gon showed me a piece of the Past that showed me something about my Father that shocked me." Han smiled, "Care to share it with me Princess?" he asked as Ani ran towards him and stopped at Chewie's feet. "I saw the past..." Leia's words trailed off as Chewie picked up Ani. Ani Giggled and tried to bury himself in his fur. "I have never seen anything like it Pal all of these years we could have had you in the Alliance Nursery. This baby loves you."

"It doesn't mean all Human cubs would. I am a teddy bear to this little one but. Some would think I was a Rancor. This cub however is fairly special," said Chewie."

Han nodded with a smile. He looked at Leia as she got up. "I basically was shown a window of the past. I saw my Mom tell him that she was pregnant with me and he was happy. He then was telling her that the kick in her stomach was a girl's kick. Just like the little girl he wanted. He wanted me Han, He wanted me," said Leia with heavy emotions swimming inside of her at the revelation. Han moved forward and put a hand on her shoulder. Just then Lando spoke, "You know I made a lot of mistakes as a kid. But one thing I remember is my Parents wanted me Princess. Even though I haven't seen them in years and all I still remember that. I would have to tell you to accept your dad if your willing because he may have hurt you in the past but in the end he's still your father. My Parents I ruined my relationship with them when I got into all of the gambling and smuggling. I sometimes wish I could take those days back and have listened to old Mother Calrissian." Leia nodded in silence.

Luke found himself walking through the corridors of the ship with Admiral Piett. "So how are the men adjusting to seeing my father without mask?"

"They are shocked and loving it. I have to admit today is the first day I saw him without it. I didn't even know that he was human for sure until I learned that you were his son." Luke nodded, "I know, Leia never thought he was." Piett nodded in amusement, "It crushes all of the sick rumors about him." Luke nodded with a smile. Just then he saw his father walk by with his Mother's arm linked to his. "Should we?" Piett shook his head, "Have you ever been in a serious relationship Skywalker?"

"Nothing past a friends with benefits which I suspect my father wouldn't approve of." Piett nodded, "They are in a tender moment we will approach them in a moment." Luke nodded noticing a young pair of female officers staring at his Father. "Man I can't believe thats Lord Vader."

"I just want to run my fingers through his blond hair," said one girl.

"I would like to do more than that with him he's hot he's hot." Luke glared at them, "Don't you realize that he's old enough to be your father?" One girl shook her head, "I don't care he's hot. But he has a girl for now but after he is done with her I'll see if he'll have me."

"That is his wife," said Piett in disgust. One girl glanced at Luke and then back at her friend. "I will settle for his son." Piett shook his head as him and Luke walked on. "You know your not married you should go ahead and take them up." Luke shook his head, "My dad would kill me if I brought them into our chambers." Piett bursted into laughter. Your probably right. That won't stop you from going to them." Luke nodded, "I have the mission to focus on." Piett nodded in agreement deciding he liked Skywalker. The man showed self control. He controlled his temper for the most part. Had no ego that he would take advantage of and wouldn't even take advantage of his fame. Piett smiled as Anakin approached with Padme realizing he had finished his moment with Padme, "Firmus would you join me and the family for dinner?"

"It would be my honor Anakin." Anakin smiled as Piett spoke with a grin, "And milady you might want to keep a closer grip on him."

"What do you mean?" asked Padme.

Luke then gestured to the same pair of officers that they had encountered. "They had some pretty lewd thoughts. They think your hot Dad and they want you."

"What? Ridiculous I am old enough to be their dad and they are fresh out of the academy." Padme smiled at him, "Your way older than me now too thanks to the Carbonite." Anakin nodded, "Thats different, Your My wife."

"So I had all kinds of old men that wanted to marry me when I was Queen of Naboo but I refused. But if you had been one of those older men I would have agreed."

"Now are you calling me old?" asked Anakin.

"You are old Father," said Luke

"Now Yoda thats old. Even Chewbacca is older than me. How about you call him old instead?" said Anakin with fake anger. After a few moments Piett started laughing in amusement by all of the banter. Anakin shook his head. "Seriously, He has the nerve to call me old when I kicked his ass on Bespin."

"I kicked your ass in the Conference room."

"Because you didn't give me a chance."

"Your to good to give a chance to."

"Exactly the point. I want a rematch."

Piett shook his head as Padme glanced at Anakin. "Lets go find Ani I wonder where he is." Anakin smiled at her with an all knowing smile, "He's coming this way." Just then Padme saw Leia approach with Ani walking at her feet. Ani swiftly ran for Padme giggling. Luke smiled, "The best thing is the two girls that were looking at you are about to walk by again and see the baby. Take him dad." Anakin nodded as Padme handed him Ani. "Now anyway I am not old son."

"You were kind of slow in subduing me at Yavin."

"Because I was half hoping that whoever you were that you would succeed. I hated that thing. Thank you For Destroying it by the way."

"No problem I wish I could have seen Tarkin's face when he realized that it wasn't so invincible." Anakin nodded, "He had the chance to escape but he was to arrogant to. I just wish Tagge hadn't had to die on that thing. He was a talented man and about the only one that I liked out of all of Tarkin's little flunkies." Just then Luke was silent as the pair of girl's walked by. Anakin smiled when he noticed the looks of dismay that they failed to hide upon seeing him with Ani. He reached out in the Force and heard one speak, "He has a baby with her."

"I am sure he will stay with her then she's very pretty.

"Thats right," said Anakin loudly causing The girls to jump in embarrassment .Within moments Luke, Piett and Padme were laughing with Anakin while Leia was in the dark. "What was that about?" asked Leia. "They wanted me."

"Wanted you?"

"Yeah."

"Oh Oh," said Leia realizing what he had men. Anakin then turned to Leia. "Where have you two been?"

"We were in your chambers and Han and the others came in for awhile but the left a short time ago for some drinks did you see them pass?" Anakin shook his head as Piett spoke, "They were to busy arguing." Leia nodded as she saw Han approach. "Say Lando why don't you and Luke both ask them out? Come one a couple of sexy Rebel men with a pair of hot Imperial chicks. Now that would be the ultimate sign of reconciliation for the end of this war." Anakin glanced at Luke with a smile. "I'm inclined to agree with him. They are your age too." Luke glared at his Father in irritation. "Really? Well to bad you and Han are both already hitched isn't it?"

"Hey Kid I ain't married to your sister yet."

"I am sure you will be. Lando, Chewie Wedge and I have been running a betting pool on how long it will be."

"And how long you survive Pirate before she butchers you," added Lando with a smirk. Just then the group heard a series of all to familiar beeps.

"So after twenty years you never found the appropriate time to tell me that Darth Vader was my maker?"

"VVVVEEEEEPPPP BEEEEEPPP."

"Of course it matters it may be why Captain Solo abuses me so much or why the Princess shuts me off so much. They see the damage that he placed on me."

"VVVEEEEPPP BEEEEP."

"I was stupid the day you met me? R2-D2 we both know I am not stupid. I am fully fluent in over six million forms of communications. I am far from stupid. You on the other hand? Do you know over six million communications?"

"VEEEEPP BEEEEP."

"It doesn't matter because your better at keeping secrets? I wasn't given a chance."

"VEEEEP BEEEP."

"Well I if I faithfully served Vader and Miss Padme like you say don't you think I should have been allowed to be able to tell the Princess about her parents?"

"VEEEEPBEEEEPBEEEEP."

"What do you mean you wanted to? Or Viceroy Organa wanted to? It appears they still didn't."

"VEEEEPBEEEEPVEEEEPBEEEEP."

"Emotional burden? Dangerous if she knew? So you chose to wipe my mind just because of that?"

"VEEEPBEEEEP."

"And you don't think I could have kept Mistress Leia safe? How dare you? She is my Mistress. Protection training and security may not be the programing my maker gave me but I assure you I would have been quiet if people had asked me."

"VEEEEPBEEEEP."

"Annoying blabbering golden Droid like me would have given her to Vader? How dare you call me that you useless scrap pile," said 3PO as he kicked R2. "I have had quite enough of you." Anakin and everyone around started bursting into laughter as they heard 3PO's clanky steps against the durasteel of the ship's hallway as R2 came into view whistling some beeps. Anakin looked down at R2 and nodded, "I know he will never understand but your still pretty mean to him. I guess some things never change."

"VEEEP BEEEP."

"Yeah I know I overdid his personality but I was nine what do you expect?" R2 was silent as Luke looked at him in shock, "You can understand him?" Anakin nodded with a grin, "I've spent more time with this little guy thank you can imagine." Luke nodded as Anakin turned to Piett and the others, "Follow me lets go find some dinner." Everyone then followed him back to the Skywalker Chambers. The group arrived and sat down at the Dinning table while Anakin ordered some dinner from the Ship's kitchens for everyone.

A short time later everyone sat down when Piett spoke, "So I want to hear more of your life's story Anakin." Anakin nodded, "Well lets see where do I begin?"

"Just tell everyone what you told me a few nights ago," stated Luke. Anakin nodded with a smile. "Well for starters I was nothing special when I was born really. Yes when I was conceived no man was involved literally. That is kind of odd I guess." Piett nodded, "I was born a slave Firmus. My first few years I was a slave until I was a Jedi Knight then I became a slave to the Sith." Anakin than began to share his tales with the table. Everyone journeyed with the young boy that Left Tattooine and then spent ten years as a Padawan to Obi-Wan Kenobi. They followed him on his missions to Mawan. His various encounters with Granta Omega. Along with his times in the Temple when Jedi Masters were harsh on him. Particularly those that didn't want him trained. They followed him as he found his mother where she died in Tattooine. Then as he went with Padme to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan at the start of the Clone Wars. They followed him through his fight with Dooku his marriage to Padme. His countless battles throughout the Clone Wars on hundreds of different worlds. They followed him through Jabiim, Through Planets like Praisitlyn that none had ever heard of. Or through Cato Nemoidia and through his times with his Padawan Snips. They listened as he told of tragedies in the Clone Wars few could fathom. Or as he fought Asajj Ventress time and time again. They listened to his Story of his rescue of Obi-Wan from bounty Hunters on a Planet with three suns or his rescue of Bail Organa from Space Pirates. They listened to his stories of attacking various fortress worlds and longing to see Padme again. The only thing that would relieve him of war.

They listened as he told of his fears of losing her to death and Palpatine's promises. They listened as he turned to the Dark Side and after his massacre at the Temple fought Obi-Wan on Mustafar in a battle that resulted in him burning up in lava.

"So that is where the suit came in? I would never have thought that the old man did something like that," stated Han. Anakin nodded, "Then when I came around the first thing I asked for was Padme and the Emperor told me that in my anger that I killed her with my child." Everyone gasped in horror. Anakin then spoke of how the next eighteen years he spent taking his anger out on the Galaxy in the ways that many at the table were familiar with. "I think finding out about Luke was the start of my redemption then finding Padme again and gaining a third child. That changes a man for the better most of the time." Everyone sat in silence stunned at his story

Leia sat in her seat in shame. All her Father's life story did to her was make her feel more shame for treating him the way she had. She wondered about falling in love with Han now and wondered if she would turn out the same way. Anakin reading her thoughts spoke, "Don't think that way."

"But the same blood flows through me."

"You don't have Palpatine to manipulate you."

"If you fell for the power that someone that us obviously as evil as him I could too."

Padme shook her head, "You don't understand Leia. Palpatine was one of the kindest men I even ever met. He was like talking to your dream Grandfather. He was kind loving charismatic and compassionate. Your to young to understand. Even a lot of the Jedi fell for him. Few saw him for what he was. Bail was one of the only ones that did." Leia gasped in shock, "You mean he was actually that nice?"

"He was Leia you have no Idea," said Anakin. "Not to mention that he shared a lot of wisdom."

"And he appeared to be so wonderful and strong to the public as many would say the fact that he lost his entire family and he was the last of them only added to his popularity and public sympathy." Anakin snorted, "He didn't lose them."

"But My dad told me many years ago that they died in that accident on their ship and Palpatine was luckily not onboard." Anakin snorted, "You mean it appears that way."

"Are you trying to say otherwise Ani?" Anakin nodded, "When Palpatine was seventeen he met a certain man named Hego Damask."

"You mean the Muun Magister that was the head of Damask Holdings?" asked Piett. Anakin nodded, "He's the one that installed the Plasma plant in Theed," said Padme. Anakin nodded, "The truth about Damask is he was known by another name and I am one of the few that knows that name."

"What name?" asked Leia.

"His Sith name, Darth Plagueis."

"Hego Damask was a Sith?" asked Padme in shock. Anakin nodded, "At the time Palpatine was highly ambitious and his Father in his opinion was always holding him back."

"My Grandfather always said he never liked Cosinga," said Padme. Anakin nodded, "Cosinga din't like how Damask was so interested in Palpatine so he made a plan to restrain Palpatine and take him to a private retreat. It was the first time Palpatine reached out in the Force he told me and he Force choked his Father, His Mother and all of his younger siblings along with the ship's crew to death. Then Damask covered everything up for him and he ended up joining as a Sith Lord and taking his Sith Name, Darth Sidious." Piett gasped in shock, "He killed his own mother?" Anakin nodded grimly. "He killed them all there is no end to his wickedness." Piett nodded in shock and horror. Anakin then spoke, "So as you can see There was always more than meets the eye to him." Padme gasped in shock. Anakin then ordered everyone else to share their stories. He found himself stopping Han. "So you gave up your career because of what you saw happening to the Wookiees?" Han nodded, "I don't like slavery pal."

"Your a man of honor Solo I like that. I have a new view of you." Han nodded and Anakin then listened to his Children share their childhoods feeling shame and regret over all he had missed. He realized this was really the first social night of peace and fun that he had had in decades.
