Padme
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan
It was about 19:00 and I was excited because that meant we got visitation. They called me, Chance, Verdo, Mishi, and Permsians to the mess hall; there was a tech, I didn't know their name, but Chance nodded hello to him. Anyway, we all spread out and picked a table, and I got one in the back.
Soon, two Rodians came in and hugged Permisians. Then, a clone who was about three years, meaning mentally six years, older than Chance came in and hugged him. Suddenly, a little girl who looked exactly like Verdo, the spitting image, came bounding into the room. She jumped into Vardo's arms and Vardo spun her around. A male Dathmorian, who looked like a yellow version of the man who killed Qui-Gon, came in and kissed Verdo, and they went to a corner of the room together to talk. I guess monsters fall in love too.
Finally, I saw Mishi looking down at a table. I was going to go comfort her, when all of a sudden, a Togruta male came in and walked to her table. He gave her a kiss on the hand, and she blushed. I was gonna ask her who he was, but then all of a sudden Obi-wan sat down beside me. Then, orange arms were wrapping around my neck.
"Hi, Skyguy!" cried Ahsoka.
"Hey, Snips," I said, giving her a reverse hug.
As I turned around to give her a proper hug, I saw Padme there. She was wearing a long green dress, with loose sleeves and the hood up. She had a purple sash above her waist and you had to look, but you could make out the curvature of her stomach revealing my children.
"How are you?" I asked, getting up and pulling a seat out for her.
"Fine," she said, kissing me, and then sitting down. "How are you?"
"I'm okay," I said.
"Okay, were all here," said Ahsoka. She reached into her shirt and pulled out a holoprojector.
"How did you-" asked Obi-Wan.
"They never check the bra," she said, grinning.
She put it on the table and turned it on. "Okay," she said, "This is the latest ultrasound. The droid took it last week. We are pretty sure that it is the boy rubbing his feet together."
I smiled, and studied the hologram. There were two heads to be sure, but they were so tightly curled up together I couldn't tell who was who yet. Still, I was excited.
"Okay," said Ahsoka. "So Anakin found some stuffed animals and sent them to me for the kids, he's found a duck and what else did you find?"
"I haven't found something else. Maybe a kadu. I'll keep looking."
"How big is the duck?" asked Obi-Wan warily.
"A meter tall," said Ahsoka.
"Anakin!"
"What? I want the kid to snuggle with it!" complained Anakin.
Rex grinned.
"Anyway," continued Ahsoka, "we are thinking this for the cribs, the color is called brown cherry."
"The changing tables would be the same color," said Padme.
"Its a pretty color," I said.
"Then we need the rocking chairs," said Ahsoka, "same finish, beige cushions."
"Okay."
"And a dark cherry dresser."
"Wait!" said Padme, "we are getting ahead of ourselves. When the babies are born we need to keep them in our room, in bassinets."
"Yes, bassinets!" cried Ahsoka.
Rex got this look of fear in his eyes.
"They are worse over weddings," I said.
"No I wasn't," cried Padme.
"700 credit wedding dress that is now in a box in our closet."
"It was our wedding day. I can't look nice?"
I shook my head laughing, but I remembered that memory well. What I remember about that dress was there were so many buttons and I was still getting used to my bionic hand. I almost ripped it off her body. It was not fair to tease a twenty year old virgin with twenty tiny buttons down the back of his new wife that he could not rip. But Padme had rewarded me for my patience. That night was probably the best night of my life.
"Anakin," said Padme.
"What?" I asked.
"Do you think we should paint the walls in the baby rooms?"
"Absolutely. Looking at metallic grey walls is almost as bad as looking at sandstone all day. I want the babies to be happy."
"Are you gonna go with pink and blue?" asked Ahsoka. "Everyone goes with pink and blue, they're so stereotypical."
"Actually, I was going to do theme rooms," said Padme. "I was going to do roses for Leia, cause its my favorite flower. And I was going to do podracing and starfighters for Luke, cause that was Anakins favorite thing. Keep the walls white, and then when they grow up, we can change it to whatever they want when they are about three."
"That is a fantastic idea," said Ahsoka.
"Yeah I like it too," I said smiling. "Especially pod racing. I bet I can get some models of pods and ships and we can hang them up in his room, and when he is older he can learn about all the different ships I have been on and stuff."
"That is the idea."
A knock came, and a nurse came in the room. "Five minutes."
"Okay, thanks," I said.
She left.
"So, where we gonna do this?" I asked.
Padme sighed, then laughed. "We had this stupid dream where we would go to Naboo, and be on the Lake Palace, and just be in hiding from the Jedi, the Senate, the Sith, everyone." Placing her face in her hand, she sighed, "we can't do that now." Laughing again, she looked at me, "It's three years later and nothings changed. You're still a Jedi and I am a Senator. The fact that everyone knows about us changes nothing."
"I'll leave the order," I said.
"Then you give up who you are for me."
"Let Master Yoda find the Grey Jedi," said Obi-Wan. "He might have a solution."
