First off sorry for the long wait. I had finals and I also took a week off. This next chapter takes place three months after my last chapter. I'm sure you can guess why. This chapter will have lot's of time skips.

Padme woke up in the morning and felt pains. Thankfully she didn't have to go to the senate. Bail Organa was filling in as chancellor as she was on maternity leave. She instantly knew what was happening.
"Ani. Ani." Padme said shaking him.
"What?" He said half asleep.
"I think the babies are coming." Padme said.
Anakin jumped up. "We need to get to the hospital. I'll grab Petro."
The three people rode to the hospital in the speeder. They arrived out front and were escorted to the birthing level of the facility.
They had Padme change into a gown and they had her all set up for the birth. Ahsoka, Lux, Obi-Wan, Katooni, and Riyo Chuchi were there waiting for the birth of the twins.
Anakin sat in the room and held Padme's hand as she gave birth and told her to squeeze it if she was in pain, which obviously, she was.
Finally the boy came out and Padme and Anakin looked at each other and smiled. "Luke." Padme said. Anakin nodded. He liked the name Luke. They had talked about the names but this was his final chance to maybe change a name.
Anakin was given the boy to hold, he showed him to Padme and then wrapped him in a blanket.
Next the girl came out. "Leia." Padme said with Anakin's approval. He was given the girl and he showed Padme and then wrapped her in a blanket.
"The others can come in." Padme said.
Obi-Wan, Lux, Ahsoka, Katooni, Petro, and Riyo Chuchi walked into the room. They all smiled when they saw the babies.
"Awww! They're so adorable!" Riyo Chuchi said.
Anakin went over to the table and did the paperwork while everyone was looking at the babies. He had never imagined how stressful it was to fill out birth certificates. His hand was shaking and he had to use the force to calm himself.
"Anakin. You agree with my godparents selections. The ones we talked about a month ago." Padme called over to him.
Anakin thought back and then remembered. "Yeah. I agree."
"Ok. Obi-Wan. You are Luke's god-father."
"I do say I am honored." He was given the baby to hold and he sat down on the window sill.
"Ahsoka and Lux. You are Leia's god-mother and god-father." Padme said. Ahsoka was given the baby to hold and she smiled.
"She's so adorable. Thank you so much Padme!" Ahsoka said as she started tearing up.
"Trained in the ways in the force, they must be. Powerful, they will be." A voice from behind them said.
Anakin turned and saw Master Yoda walk through the door. "Hello Master."
"Adorable children, you have." Yoda said smiling.
"You may hold one of them if you like." Anakin said.
Obi-Wan moved over and let Master Yoda sit on the window sill with him and then handed him Luke. Yoda smiled with the baby in his arms. It was funny to watch because Master Yoda and the baby were almost the same size with the baby being a little smaller.
"A smaller person than I, a surprise it is." Yoda said chuckling a little.
Everyone in the room laughed a little. Yoda may be getting older but his sense of humor would never go away. It was eternal.
They remained in the room for another hour and then everyone left for home. Anakin and Padme stayed to make sure the babies were in good health.

Three months later. Padme, Bail Organa, Riyo Chuchi, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis were sitting in Padme's office. They were thinking of possible government reforms. Their meeting had just started when Bail Organa had an idea.
"Remember when your planet was invaded and your decoy called a 'vote of no confidence' in Chancellor Valorum. It was because the Senate takes forever to decide things. Why don't we make a Military Council? One that makes Military decisions for the Republic. We could have top clones, admirals, and even some Jedi in it." Bail Organa said.
"I'm going to put that down. That's a brilliant idea." Padme said.
"How many representatives would it consist of?" Garm asked.
"Well I suppose four from the navy, four from the Clone army, and one from the Jedi council." Bail Organa said.
"Why is there only one from the Jedi?" Padme asked.
"Because if there was an argument between the two branches, the Jedi would know who is right." Bail Organa said.
"That's a brilliant idea." Mon Mothma said.
"Agreed." Garm said.
"How will we get the Senate to approve this? They certainly won't want to give up there command of the military." Padme said.
"True." Bail Organa said.
"Perhaps we can get more votes. The rest of the people who signed the petition against Palpatine will certainly vote for this. Also people who are in their right mind and value there safety will approve. This means we have half the Senate." Padme said.
"Perhaps. I guess we should let Democracy decide." Bail Organa said.
Padme pressed a button. "This is Chancellor Padme Amidala Skywalker. I am calling a meeting for the Senate regarding Republic government."

Padme looked around and noticed that most of the Senate was full. Everyone was on Coruscant catching up on stuff they hadn't had to worry about since the Clone Wars like trade policies and local militias.
Once almost all star systems Padme started. "The Senate recognizes Bail Organa of Alderaan."
"Alright. Members of the Galactic Senate. For years we have been criticized for making decisions to slow. I think you'll all agree that we are very busy. So my partners in the senate have decided to help we come up with a plan. We came up with The Military Council. Four men from the Clone Army. Four Men or Women from the Navy and one Jedi. They will make Military decisions and will deal with their laws and policies. This will give us the chance to focus on the Republic as a whole. I now ask for any objections." Bail Organa said.
Padme watched as a greedy Nemodian zoomed his pod out. At least it wasn't the Trade Federation numb skulls.
"I object! How will we be protected? They will turn the military against us!" The whole Senate started whispering as if talking among themselves.
"That is a good point. But, the Clone Army still serves the Senate. It will just be controlled by the Military Council. Remember, there is a Jedi on that council. They will see to it that nothing bad happens." Bail Organa said.
"We will put it to a vote." Padme said.

So sorry about the wait. I just needed some time to relax! I'm glad you all like the story and if there is anything I can do to make it better for you. Please tell me. I know this was a confusing chapter. Next chapter won't be as confusing.
