Coruscant:
Luke sat in the Millennium Falcon after discussing the situation with Han and Chewie. "So what will we do kid?"
"We will head for Naboo and inform Ben and my parents of our findings and then plan our next move." Han nodded in silence, "Ok Chewie lets get this ship started up."
Chewie nodded and headed for the Cockpit.
Imperial Palace:
Palpatine shuddered as he felt an unknown yet powerful Force Presence using the Force. He looked at his aide, "Prepare a Speeder immediately we are heading into the City." The aide nodded with a bow. Palpatine smiled as he headed for his Speeder but as he did felt anger, The Force Presence was no longer on the Planet Surface it had disappeared as though it had never been. Whoever it was had left Coruscant.
Millennium Falcon:
Luke sat on the floor of the ship in Meditation, What did his father want with Pooja? Had he learned of the fact that He had been adopted by Sola and Darred? Luke found it odd that if that was the case that Vader hadn't sought him out yet. Perhaps there was more going on. But what was his father after? Was he laying a trap for him? If so why make Pooja resign from the Senate and then kidnap her without a trace and make up this elaborate game for him? Luke was in shock and mystified by his father's behavior. He sighed wondering what was going on.
Star Destroyer Exactor:
Pooja awoke feeling Vader's warm arms and body wrapped around her. Almost every morning she woke up like this and she was all to used to it. She felt him stir knowing he was awakening and soon felt his lips on her cheek. She then felt him turn her around as he kissed her. She was so used to him that it shocked her. She knew all to well that he was about to get up and she followed suite as she felt an ache in her gut and headed for the Refresher and threw up several times.
Vader knowing that Pooja was experiencing her usual morning sickness headed into the kitchen and made some toast for her as she walked in. He looked at her and frowned, "How are you feeling?"
"Alright, Your son is really giving me a hard time." Vader smiled and set out some toast for her that she swiftly began to eat. He then headed for the counter and poured himself a cup of Caf and some tea for Pooja before sitting down. He noticed her smile at him, "I honestly can say that I am excited to become a mother. I hope I will be as good of a mother as my Mother." Vader nodded as he picked up a Datapad and began to read it. It contained several Records from Naboo that Piett, Whom he had tasked with looking into his son had gathered. He gasped in shock and glanced at Pooja, "Why didn't you ever tell me that Luke lived with you?" Pooja was in shock, How did he find out? Vader smiled at her as she spoke despite his anger, "What makes you think I know about Luke?"
"There are records for the adoption of an orphaned toddler named Luke twelve years ago that were filed by none other than Sola Naberrie and Darred Janren I am not Stupid Pooja."
Pooja cringed in horror wondering what Vader would do to her. "Are you going to kill me?" she asked fearfully as she placed a hand on her stomach protectively. Vader shook his head, "No but I am leaving the chambers before I do something to you that I will regret," he stated as he got up and left. Pooja then spoke, "I can promise you that he is investigating my disappearance right now." Vader nodded, "I am guessing we will be meeting one another soon then," he stated as he left.
Vader approached the Command Bridge to see Lieutenant Piett in charge of the bridge, He looked at him in shock, "So how did you figure out where to find Skywalker?"
"Simple sir, I took a look at the list of high class women first that entered Bespin's hotels twelve years ago and traced their traveling records and something didn't line up with Janren and his wife."
"What was that?"
"They came as a couple and left with a child that they claimed was their son." Vader sneered in anger, "Ozzel is being promoted Piett to Admiral and being sent to supervise the Construction of the Executor now that Griff is dead and you are now being promoted Captain and are now in command of Exactor in his place, congragulations Captain." Piett gasped in shock, "T-Thank you My Lord I am honored." Vader nodded, "Now serve me well and obey me and not the Emperor."
"Of course sir." Vader then smiled, He had Ozzel off of the ship and he had a more competent Captain serving under him. He liked Piett, Piett was a fine officer and knew what he was doing when he did it.
Vader frowned as he looked out the viewport on the Exactor Command Bridge, He would have to continue to follow orders and ignore his leads on Luke's existence in order to keep Luke from the Emperor. Just then Captain Piett approached him, "Admiral Ozzel has just left my Lord." Vader nodded and turned to his new first officer, "Captain do you have any children?" Piett nodded, "Y-Yes My Lord I have one daughter and another on the way." Vader nodded, "I have a son that is fifteen, he was stolen from me many years ago and I wish to find him and have him join me but I fear that pursuing him constantly will attract the Emperor's attention. I do not wish to have him around the Emperor. If you were in my position would you protect the son you have never known by waiting to finally lay eyes on him or go after him risking having the Emperor discover him?"
Piett frowned before speaking, "As much as it would hurt sir as a Father I would choose the first one without hesitation if it was in his best interests." Vader nodded, "Not a word to anyone Captain and thank you for your input I am grateful to you." Piett nodded in silence.
Naboo: One Day Later:
Luke headed into his house where his Parents, Grandparents and Ben were waiting along with Ryoo. Sola was the first to speak, "What did you find out?" Luke frowned, "According to the Princess of Alderaan Vader visited her chambers and she saw her a few days later crying in tears as she resigned from her post as Senator." Sola gasped in horror, "That monster has my baby?" Luke nodded grimly, "I haven't felt her death so I am planning on how we will rescue her."
"But that means breaking into his Palace and he is a powerful man," stated Jobal.
"I am not asking for your input in this discussion Grandma unless you have some experience in rescue operations and she isn't in his Palace which means she is either with him on his Flagship or at Bast."
"Bast?" asked Ruwee.
"Vader's personal Castle on the Acid world of V'jun and either way wherever she is she is in grave danger," stated Obi-Wan. Darred then spoke, "What do you think he wants with my girl?"
"I am not sure Dad but he will pay if he has laid one finger on her." Darred nodded as Obi-Wan spoke, "I suspect that Vader has her on his ship." Luke nodded, "I in that case need to wait for Princess Organa to inform me of what ship he is currently on and then I will track him down."
"He will kill you Luke," stated Jobal. Luke shook his head, "No he won't I can assure you of that."
Sola then looked at Luke, "Do you want to tell them Luke?" Luke thought for a moment, "I think it is their right to know."
"Know what?" asked Ruwee.
"The truth about my Father."
"What do you mean young man?" asked Jobal.
"Well what you were told about him and my mother and her death is all true except one thing."
"What would that be?" asked Ruwee.
"Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are the same man. Darth Vader is my Father."
"What?" asked Ruwee in shock and anger. Luke nodded as Jobal glared at him and Sola, "You better inform Vader that you have his son Sola he has parental rights."
Luke had enough and stormed over towards his grandmother and towered over her, "Rights he signed away the moment he choked my pregnant mother he is not my Father and I have yet to forgive him and I hate him!" Yelled Luke in anger as he looked down at his grandmother, "If you dare to contact him I will kill you he is a powerful man but so am I," stated Luke in anger as he walked away. Sola smiled at her son as he walked out of the room.
Ruwee then glanced at his wife, "You need to stay out of the Jedi affairs that Luke is in they are his choice and you have no relationship with him because of your attitude."
"I just don't want him to die." Ruwee sneered, "The boy doesn't even have any respect for you because of your cowardice."
"That is correct," Ruwee heard Luke say from across the room as he walked back in.
"In Fact Grandmother I am in shock that you were the woman that bore my mother I feel like your unworthy to be the mother of Padme Amidala."
"Luke..."
"At this point Mother I agree with him I even feel unworthy at times to call Padme my sister or Luke my son," stated Sola in anger. She noticed that Luke had had enough as she had, "Come on Luke we are leaving for some smoothies bring your men along." Luke gestured to Han and Chewie and left the room with his Mother as they headed for a Speeder.
The group arrived at the Cafe and ordered their drinks and Sola looked at Luke in tears, "I hope my girl is going to be alright." Luke nodded, "I just can't fathom what he would want with her. He hasn't even contacted me." Sola nodded in silence, "I just hope Padme was right I just hope that little ounce of good in him keeps her alive if its there." Luke nodded in silence.
Star Destroyer Exactor:
Vader walked into his chambers after several hours of sparring to see Pooja on the couch. He looked at her and moved forward unable to control himself as he kissed her. She looked at him fearfully, "Y-Your not angry anymore?" Vader shook his head, "Not to much you love Luke and for that I am grateful for." Pooja nodded, "When my Mother found him in the slave market she had no Idea he was Aunt Padme's son but she bought him insisting he was her son and told him she was his new mommy. She took him to the Med Center the day she returned to Naboo and learned that he was Padme's and it only made her love for him grow." Vader nodded as he ran has hand through Pooja's dark hair. He looked down at her and kissed her intensely, "I want you Pooja."
"Don't you always?" she asked as she to his surprise wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss.
Naboo: One day Later:
Luke walked out of his bedroom after a Sleepless night wondering when he would learn of Pooja's whereabouts. He was anxious to hear a Call from the Princess and hoped she would have the information he sought. He was growing impatient and was on the verge of heading down to the Imperial Garrison when his Comlink beeped he answered it and spoke, "This is Naberrie."
"Luke this is Princess Organa I have some good news and some bad news."
"Good news first please Princess."
"The good news is from what I heard Vader went straight to his flagship, The Exactor the same ship he has commanded for a number of years. The Bad news is I don't know its location."
"Very well thank you so much Princess I will find out all of the rest."
"Very well Organa out!"
Luke breathed in relief and headed downstairs where he noticed his parents sitting, "Good news."
"What?" asked Sola and Darred. "I know what ship he is on. I just have to locate it now."
"Its a large Galaxy Son it could take a month," stated Darred. Luke nodded in silence at the realization.
Star Destroyer Exactor:
Vader awoke the next morning to the sound of the refresher door opening to see the petite form of Pooja whom looked sickly from morning sickness returning to the bed. He looked at her as she laid down knowing she was also going to become somewhat more emotional from the Pregnancy hormones overtime and he was dreading it. "Vader what are you going to do today?"
"Interrogate several Rebel Prisoners and see what I can learn and then take the Exactor and see what leads I come up with." Pooja nodded as the Dark Lord got out of bed and began to dress. She then felt a swat on her rear, something she was all to well accustomed to, "You were wonderful last night as always." Pooja nodded, "That is part of the terms for being allowed to be with the baby right?" Vader nodded as he kissed her for the second time before leaving the room.
Pooja watched him leave with a heavy heart as she realized something, she had been an object to him for sexual gratification for a month and a half but now she was feeling something, She realized to her shock that she was starting to have feelings for the monster. She was falling in love with Darth Vader, she realized to her shock and horror as she laid down on the unmade bed in tears of shock at the realization.
Little did she know that Vader was feeling the same way. She felt shock, How could she love a man that had forced her to be his girlfriend or had taken away her career or impregnated her like this? She realized something was going on, Maybe Vader loved her too, Though she doubted it.
Ok I know things are really getting twisty right now that is how I like to do things though, I love writing twists and shocking People now here is Chapter Twelve thank you for the input, Until Next time!
