Padme was in awe as she looked down at her two sleeping children. When she and Obi-Wan had finally made it to the small planet he was staying on for the time being, the first thing she did was ask to see her children and nurse droid had immediately brought out the two sleeping children who had started to wake when they felt the presence of their mother drawing closer. It was Leia who woke first and reached her tiny chubby arms out demanding to be given to Padme and Luke, who was just waking up, stared at his mother with bright blue eyes that matched those of his father. It was almost as if he was waiting for her to do something and unlike his sister, he had patience.

"Oh my beautiful babies!" The former queen of Naboo cradled her children against her chest as her eyes filled with tears. She had missed them much and a part of her thought she may never see them again. Padme was ecstatic to see her fear would not become a reality. This moment would be perfect if only Ani was with her, but at the moment it was not possible and she knew that thought it didn't mean she had to be happy about it. "You have no idea how much your mommy has missed you. I thought about you every second of every single day. I am so happy to see that you have remained unharmed and you've grown quite a bit my little weeds."

"I know, it is surprising, the rate they are growing at isn't it?" Obi-Wan had come to stand next to Padme and the children. "They are extremely bright as well, especially the boy. Sometimes I can feel him watching me as if he is trying to gain the knowledge of the universe. The force is very strong in Luke. Leia has a strong force signature as well, but she is much more demanding and fussy than her brother. If you don't give her exactly what she wants when she wants it, she starts to scream her little head off. You are going to have your hands full with that one in a couple of years no doubt."

"I will be able to handle it I am sure." She replied never once taking her eyes off of her children. "They haven't had any problems have they? I mean, are they healthy?"

The master Jedi nodded in order to sooth her fears. "They are both healthy Padme. The only thing I could see being a problem is their father."

She had to bite her bottom lip from snapping at the master Jedi. She did not like the fact he was badmouthing her husband and yet she realized that if she said anything to defend him her cover would be blown and so for the time being, she needed to play along. "I do plan on allowing him to be a part of their life if I can help it. They deserve better than that, they deserve the best and Luke and Leia should not suffer due to the choices I have made. I won't allow my past mistakes ruin their futures."

"I will be there to help in any way that I can." He told her in a soft and comforting tone before placing his hand on her shoulder to show his support. Padme had to remind herself of what Anakin told her. She could not fall for Obi-Wan Kenobi's lies no matter how convincing he could be. "If you decide in the future that you want them to be trained in the ways of the force, I will take them on as my students despite what master Yoda or anyone else says for that matter."

Upon hearing his words Padme suddenly lost the little bit of doubt she had about him being a bad person. He'd just made his intentions with Luke and Leia pretty clear. He wanted to turn them in to Jedi. The only reason he was pretending to care was because he was hoping to recruit them in the future. Well that would not be something she would allow to come to pass. The last thing she wanted was for her children to be pulled in to that word because from what she had been told it wasn't anything at all like the Jedi claimed it to be.

"They would be lucky to have someone like you as a teacher." She flashed him a small that felt more like a grimace to her, but apparently he bought it be sincere since he smiled back as well, obviously pleased with her reaction. "Anyone would be lucky to have you as a teacher. I would not want anyone else teaching my children the life of a Jedi. Obi-Wan, you are the only one I could trust enough to do it."

"That means more to me than you can know." He replied looking down at the twins who had fallen asleep once again in their mother's arms. "It is the least I can do for failing their father. I know that I am not to blame for his turn to the dark side and yet I do partly blame myself. I was never the father figure to him that he needed. If it had not been for my master then I never would have trained him or even thought about it and I think, in a way at least, Anakin realized it and resented me for it. It would explain why he was always acting out and felt as if I were holding him back. I should have tried harder to be the strong father figure he needed in his life."

Padme wasn't sure what to say to that. He seemed so sincere with the way his voice shook with emotion and his eyes grew small and sad. He really did regret some things that went down with her husband and just because she knew this now, it did not mean he still wasn't evil like Anakin said he was.

"You can only do so much to save someone who is already on the path of darkness." She told him before looking down at her sleeping babies. Right now she really needed a moment alone to clear her head of all the confusing thoughts. "I am going to put Luke and Leia back to bed, but we can talk more later if you desire to do so."
