Chapter 11
"Is there anything else that we should know Master?" Anakin asked coming back into the cockpit after putting an extremely shaken Harry to bed.
"All for now that is." Yoda told him, "Come home quickly you should."
"We will
tie up things here and head home at once if the situation is as dire
as Harry feels it is." Anakin responded. "We shall see you soon
Master." He said turning off the comm unit and left the ship for
the Lars family
home.

Padme pulled the cowl over her head as she stepped out side in to the fresh morning on Naboo. Her sister and mother doing the same next to her as they headed down to the square where the market was taking place.
"So have you given the gift any thought dear?" Jobal asked as they walked through the streets.
Padme sighed, "No. I just can't seem to think of anything. So I shall walk around to all the stalls and I will buy everything that feels right." She explained.
"Well I think that is a wonderful idea, a little extreme to buy everything but a good idea none the less." Sola teased her sister.
Padme
rolled her eyes at her sister as she continued on her way, leaving
behind a laughing sister and an amused
mother.

Hermione paced around her room up in the female level of the temple. Nothing was going according to plan, everything was ruined because Potter had decided to take off with the ruffian Skywalker. Hermione grabbed her pillow and screamed into it to get rid of her building frustration.
Hermione then stormed over to her cupboard and pulled out her trunk and opened it up. Pulling out her wand and waved it over the trunk and a secret compartment pops out and Hermione steps in, her image starting to change.
Hermione walked over to the wall where a bookcase full of potions was sitting and pulled one off of the shelf and then turned to another wall where a person was chained to the wall. She walked over to her and ripped some hairs from her head and added them to the potion and gulped it down and changed back to herself.
"What are you going to do Bellatrix?" The person chained to the wall asked, Hermione Granger.
"That isn't any of your concern." Bella hissed at the girl.
"Ron and Harry'll figure it out you know. Once they do, you have no where to run to." Hermione glared at her.
A sinister smile appeared on her face, "We shall see about that." She sneered and once again left the trunk with Hermione Granger's face on.
Hermione
watched her go, 'Please Harry, Ron. Please don't fall for it.'
She thought before she fell into an exhausted and painful
sleep.

Harry stared at the wall in front of him, still trying to digest the news that he was told about an hour before. He was alone in the ship, Anakin had gone to the Lars home to tell his family that they would be leaving within the day. Harry supposed that it was only right that he should go and see if Shmi was alright and well enough for her to be left with out his aid and to put wards around the property.
With a sigh Harry sat up and slipped off the bed and pulled on his shoes before heading out to the Lars home. He saw that C-3PO heading his way.
"Master Harry, Master Anakin asked me to come and collect you for this evenings meal." 3PO explained.
"Thank you 3PO, I was just heading that way now." Harry smiled at the protocol droid and continued his trek to the housing unit. He walked into find that Shmi was on her feet and cooking.
"Shmi Skywalker Lars, what do you think that you are doing." Was the first thing he said, "You are not well enough to be up and about cooking. Get back in to bed." He told her and started manoeuvring her back to the bedroom.
"Come on Harry, things can't be that bad can they?" Anakin spoke up.
"Yes they are Anakin. She needs at least two more days rest."
"Why?" Anakin asked some what angrily.
"BECAUSE IF SHE DOESN'T THE BABY WILL DIE." Harry snapped knowing that Anakin was going to start getting grumpy if he didn't know about his mothers' health. The Lars family and Anakin stared at the green-eyed Jedi in shock. "All of your mothers' energy during the capture was protecting the baby and keeping it alive rather than herself."
"Is it true?" Cliegg asked his wife.
Shmi nodded, "It is." She smiled.
"Woo hoo, yippe." Harry interrupted sarcastically, "Now get back to bed."
Everyone just looked at Harry as though there was something wrong with his attitude, and even though it was true that he had an attitude at that moment couldn't be helped. He got his bedside manner from Poppy when she had taught him healing.
"Please head back to bed, don't make me restrain you. And I know that you wouldn't like to be restrained." He told her sternly.
Shmi nodded her head with a fond smile and headed back into the bedroom that she shared with Cliegg and laid down. Anakin followed her in to the room and sat down beside her on the bed.
"I'm sorry about Harry mum. He received some rather disturbing news just before we came back here." Anakin explained.
Shmi placed her hand over Anakins, "It's alright dear. He was right, I do need to be resting, just as much for me and I need to for my child." She responded with a smile.
Anakin moved her hand from under his mothers and moved it to hover over her stomach, "Can I?" he asked nervously.
"Of course you can Ani, this is your sibling as well you know." She laughed and brought her sons hand down on to her stomach.
Anakin took a deep breath and listened to the Force about the being that was growing in his mothers' stomach. He soon felt a kick hit the palm of his hand in response to his probing with the Force.
"She is going to be quite the trouble maker for you mum." Anakin laughed.
"A girl, it's going to be a girl?" Shmi questioned her son.
Anakin nodded his head, "I believe so, though I could be wrong. Harry may know more about that." He responded.
"Then I shall have to ask Harry if he can do that." Shmi said and lent back on to the headboard and relaxed with her own hand over her stomach, "Do you think that she will be Force sensitive?"
"I don't know mum. I don't think it can be determined before the birth of a child; I'm not quite sure. Master Obi-Wan would know more about that."
"How much trouble will you be in when you return Ani?"
"I don't know mum, I really don't know. But Harry and I need to leave tomorrow."
Shmi smiled sadly at her son, "I knew that you would have to leave soon, I just didn't think I would be this soon. I had hoped that we could spend more time together before that happened."
"I know
mum, me
too."

Padme strolled through that stalls that were opened on the streets of Theed, she had not come across anything as of yet as a present for Harry. She was now coming up to where the Gungans were holding their stalls, maybe there would be something there that she would find for Harry.
Her mother and sister had already found something for themselves and the children to take home. Padme had also found something's for her nieces something that she knew they would both enjoy.
"Are you having any luck Padme?" Jobal asked her daughter as she linked her arm with Padme's.
"None what so ever, nothing has so much as jumped out at me for him." Padme replied quite frustrated.
"Then why don't you do as the Jedi do Padme and close your eyes and just relax and let your feelings guide you." Sola jokingly told her as she took a bite out of the fresh Muja.
Padme looked at her sister in stunned realisation, she had never thought of listening to the Force, even though she wasn't force sensitive and it was such a simple thing. Padme closed her eyes and took a deep breath and relaxed and let herself feel with the help of her mothers hand on her arms as she walked through the market until she came to a stop near a small stall that was hidden by the other stalls that were much larger. Padme greeted the Gungan at the stall, Fassa, a Major of the Grand Gungan Army that she had prepared for battle along side.
Padme looked down at the table laden with gems, trinkets, jewellery, holocron's and old shield generators, smaller then the larger counter parts that were used on the Naboo plains by the Gungans against the Droid Army.
"Isa there something that interests yousa Senator Amidala?" Fassa asked the young woman that was looking over her stall.
"I am looking for a gift for a friend. But nothing has quite caught my eye, nothing that I feel deserves the young man in question." Padme explained to the Gungan Major.
The Gungan Major stooped down and pulled a box out from underneath the table and placed it down in front of Padme and opened the box, showing, inside that there was a small personal power shield that could fit on the wearers wrist. She brought it out of the box and handed it to Padme to look over.
"Dis one has been reassembled so yousa hands free. Makes sa buuble round whole body so yousa have no worries." Fassa explained to her.
Padme looked over the power shield and nodded, "That will be perfect Fassa, thankyou. I will take it please."
Fassa nodded, her ears flapping behind her and took the shield back off of Padme and wrapped it in some nice shimmering material and handed the box over to Padme and took the money in exchange.
"Thankyou Fassa. See you later." Padme said with a bright smile and headed off to find her sister and mother and maybe a few more items that she could take back to Coruscant.
