Chapter 20:

Padmé watched Galen sleep from the doorway of the quarters that the Skywalker family had been assigned.

She couldn't believe it. Her precious baby girl was suffering from something that Padmé couldn't protect her from. In fact, no one could protect her from it.

"Come on Padmé. It's been a long day," Anakin softly said walking up behind her. "And you need some sleep."

"Are you sure that Galen is going to be alright?"

"Yes Padmé." Anakin said practically pulling his wife towards their bedchambers. She wearily gave into him.

"Are you really sure Anakin? I mean I can sleep with Galen just to make sure," Padmé said trying to turn and go back to Galen's room.

"As long as she takes her medicine she will be fine. Now rest Padmé. The Rebel Alliance needs you as well as your family."

Padmé sighed. She knew that Anakin was right.


"To Dagobah you and Luke will go. Train you both must." Yoda said pointing his cane at Anakin as they sat together.

"But what about Padmé, Galen and Leia?"

"Stay with the rebel fleet. Safe they are."

Anakin sighed. He didn't like the plan. Something about it bugged him. But Luke did need training and he needed to be re-trained a bit as well. Plus Yoda was a Jedi Master. He should know what he was doing.

"When do we leave Master?"

"A few days. Spend time with family right now you will. Deserve it you do."

Anakin smiled. "Thank you Master," he said bowing as he stood up and left the room.


Darth Nicholas stood on the deck of his flagship the Eliminator. He wasn't in a very good mood and everyone knew it. Especially the three privates he had already done away with for simply getting in his way.

Jabba the Hutt and his court had been eliminated and Padmé Skywalker had been rescued from captivity.

When he had first received the news, his first thought was that it was Anakin Skywalker bent on revenge. But he was surprised to learn that it was a certain Jedi Master who was long thought to be dead.

Master Yoda.

Nicholas despised Yoda more then Skywalker.

And if Master Yoda was around as well as Skywalker then there was going to be nothing but trouble for the Empire. And that was the last thing that he needed right now, especially when he had been summoned by Palpatine to return to Courscant for a meeting.

When Palpatine wanted to have a meeting, that was a bad sign.


"Leia, Galen and I are going to go home to Naboo for a quick visit since I haven't been home in so long. Han, Chewie and Wulfie are going with us as well." Padmé happily said as she and Anakin walked into the hanger bay. "Then we're going to rejoin a group of rebels on Hoth."

"Good. I wish that Luke and I could join you, but for once I'm going to do what Yoda wants me to do." Anakin said smiling.

Padmé laughed. "It's about time."

Anakin threw her a glance before stealing a kiss from her. "I promise Luke and I won't be long."

"I know Ani," she said smiling.

Anakin could tell by her unending smiles of the past few days that for the first time in almost twenty years Padmé was truly happy. And so was he.

The Skywalker family had been reunited. And there was nothing that was going to tear it apart again.
