Chapter 9

Stepping inside of the building was a relief. The stretch of stress that had filled me for the past few days had taken its toll and as soon as I saw the leather sofa beside the window I wanted to just shove Luke into Padme's hands and sleep. But looking into Padme's face I could see the black, baggy eyelids, her eyes looked hazy and were closing ever so slowly.

"Threepio" I shouted out of the door, slowly easing Luke and Leia out of her arms and listened as Threepio's metal feet scuffed across the tiles.

"Yes sir" he said popping his head round the corner and walking towards me.

"I need you to take Luke and Leia to one of the spare bedrooms and keep an eye on them." I said, carefully handing them over to him, his arms cradled awkwardly and walking down the corridor.

"Padme, Threepio's got the children don't worry." I told her gently. She looked up at me; her brown eyes glazed with tears and nodded slowly, her head slowly drooping down. Before she would casually drop to the floor from shear exhaustion I walked up to Padme and let her fall into my arms. I watched as she closed her eyes and her breathing became peaceful and silent. Carefully I swept her into my arms and walked towards her room. I went past Threepio, who was watching the children as they slept and came to a white door that was blessed with being the colour of snow. Walking in, I slowly slid Padme out of my arms onto her soft, cushioned bed where she sunk slightly and her breathing became sweetly intoxicating to listen to.

'No wonder Anakin fell for her. She's beautiful when she's asleep!' I thought to myself peacefully, watching as her chest rose gently and the curls in her hair covered her face making her look more beautiful than ever. I carefully moved her hair from her eyes and at that I saw her smile.

...

I let myself fall into Obi Wan's arms, feeling him catch me, his warm arms hugging my waist and carefully scooping me into his strong arms. I kept my eyes closed and slowly moved myself into Obi Wan's chest, hoping he hadn't noticed, his chest breathed slowly as I heard the sound of the door opening and the feeling of cold air against my face. He gently placed me down on my bed, where I felt myself slowly sink into the mattress and my hair blow across my face. The smell of freshly cut roses filled my senses as I breathed in the shampoo from my hair letting it tickle my nose. I heard a small movement as Obi Wan moved forward and delicately moved the hair from my face, his hot breath blowing across my face, it somewhat smelling of mint toothpaste! The smell of roses soon passed as my hair was moved from my face and Obi Wan moved back. I could control myself enough to not open my eyes but not enough to let out a smile as I let myself slip into the land of dream.

ok too much romance! please review!
