Padme couldn't breathe, move, think, and she knew her husband was still talking, but she couldn't hear him. The only thing she had heard was the fact her babies had been taken. They had been taken from her and she had not been able to keep them safe. Wasn't that her job as their mother? If she couldn't do that than what kind of mother would she end up being if she ever got them back? Would she and Anakin ever be able to get the kids back? If they didn't how would she be able to cope? Since she did not have her memory the only things she really had were her husband, Chewbacca, and her children, well she'd had her children for a little while until the Jedi known as Obi-Wan Kenobi had come and stolen them from her. A man she couldn't even remember had ripped her son and daughter from her before she even had the chance to get to know them properly.

"I have to get them back." Those were the words that came out of her mouth once she was finally able to create words once again.

Anakin held on to his wife's hand. He had stopped talking once he realized that she had stopped listening. "I swear to you my love; we will get our children back. If I have to tear the galaxy apart in order to get them back with us where they belong then that is what I will do."

The former queen of Naboo frowned as she shook her head. "Force isn't going to get our babies back Ani. From what you have told me about this Obi-Wan Kenobi guy, he isn't going to respond well to violence. For some reason he thinks that you are the bad guy. When he was talking to me over the holo-com he made it pretty clear that he fears for my safety. What if I were to go to him making it seem as if I escaped from you?"

Her husband was quick to shake his head no. "I won't put you at risk like that Padme. I can get our children back without you having to put yourself in harm's way."

"I won't be in harm's way." She countered quickly knowing that this was a good idea if only she could get Anakin to see that as well. "You've been teaching me to defend myself if it comes to that and I do not think that it will. I'll get him to trust me and then when he does and I get a moment alone with the kids, I will grab them and you and I can have a pre-arranged spot picked out where we will meet. This is the safest way to get Luke and Leia back without causing any harm to anyone."

"Obi-Wan is not known to make many mistakes." He told her as he thought her plan over. While he did not like the idea itself, he had to admit that it was safest for his children and he would never do anything to put them in danger and that meant he could not get Palpatine involved in this. The last thing he wanted was for the Sith lord to find out about Luke and Leia. It wouldn't be good for them and despite his recent turn to the dark side, Anakin wanted better for his children because they were better. "If you really want to do this then we are going to make sure you are prepared for anything. I am going to have to teach you to shield your mind and feelings from him. We cannot take the risk that he will sense something is off. I wish that you wouldn't do this, but I know you well enough to know that if you have your mind set on this Padme then you are going to do it no matter what I think. Are you sure this is the route you want to take because if you are not one hundred percent sure this is what we should do then I will find another way."

"This is the only safe way Anakin and you know it as well as I do." She replied squeezing his hand gently. "I am strong enough to do this. I can get our children back. I will get them back. Plus I know you won't be far if there is trouble. I trust that if something were to go wrong you would be there. I need you to trust that I can do this."

"I do trust you." Anakin whispered as he raised her knuckles to his lips so he could place a soft kiss there. "It is not you that I am worried about. The Jedi are tricky and they change your way of seeing things. I am just afraid that my old master will try and do the same thing to you. I would not be able to stand it if he turned you against me as well."

Padme smiled softly as she used her free hand to caress his cheek. "That is not something you have to worry about happening ever. Nobody could turn me against you Ani. I may not remember our lives together, but I love you. I love the life we are building together. Nothing you do could ever turn me against you. You're a good man and do you want to know how I know that? I know that because there is no way I would ever fall in love with someone who wasn't a good man."

Anakin just smiled hoping that what his wife was saying was indeed the truth. He was absolutely sure that their relationship was going to be tested. He could only hope that they would survive whatever was going to be tossed their way. Yet, what other choice did they really have? They needed to get their kids back and if they had to take risks then that is what they had to do. Anakin would make sure Luke and Leia were brought home and that Padme remained safe during this rescue mission of hers. Things may get complicated, but they would get through it because they always did. They had always beaten the odds and they always would if he had anything to say about it.
