Padmé heard cries of a baby right next to her.No, It sounded like there were two of them.Slowly, she opened her eyes.Her face beamed with happiness as she saw two babies in a cradle next to her bed.She quickly get up and took them in her arms.

Suddenly, a droid came towards her.It was no other than C3PO.

"Mistress Padmé, I'm so glad you were awake! Congratulations for having these two lovely twins, milady!"

"Thank you, Threepio."

"Mistress, this one is a boy.Do you have any names for him?"Asked the droid.

Padmé smiled.She remembered the earlier days when she told Anakin she was pregnant.

--

"I think this baby is a boy." Said Padmé.

"How did you know?" Asked Anakin.

"Hm...Let's say it's motherly intuition."

Anakin laughed.He then brought his hands and put it on her unnoticeable belly.

"Are you doing some jedi tricks to figure out what gender our baby is?" Padmé asked playfully.

" Hm...motherly intuition huh? With my fatherly jedi intuition, I'm convinced that It's a girl."

It was padme's turn to laugh.

"Well, I don't think your jedi intuition is working.As the person who is carrying this baby, I'm very sure this baby is a boy."

"Don't be so sure milady.A mother's intuition is insignificant next to the power of the force."

Padmé rolled her eyes.

"Don't you dare underestimate my motherly intuition.You know what? Let's bet."

"Bet what?"

"I bet this baby is a boy and you bet this baby is a girl.Whoever wins the bet will be rewarded."

Anakin grinned at his wife's idea.

"That sounds great.By the way, what's the reward?"

"If I win, I could name the baby." Said Padmé

"Ouh.What will you name him?"

"That's a secret Ani.How about you? What do you want as a reward?"

"I think I want the same thing.If the baby turns out to be a girl, I will choose her name." Said Anakin proudly.

"Do you already have a name in mind?" She asked.

"Not yet.It is a difficult thing to think about."Said Anakin.

"Yes it it.I think you might use that 'fatherly jedi intuition' to pick the baby's name."

Anakin chuckled at his wife's response.He brought his hands to cup her cheeks.He then looked right into her eyes with a smile brighter than coruscant's city lights ever could've shine.

"Hey,either It's a girl or a boy,I want you to know that I will love him or her as much as I love you.I'm very happy to have both of you in my life.I can't imagine a life without you.No, I can't even imagine living without you.This is the happiest moment of my life, padmé.As long as you're here with me, I'm always happy.You make me happy, when nothing else in this universe could.I love you, so so much.I love you more than anything In this galaxy."

--

"Mistress Padmé, are you alright?"

Padmé didn't realize she was crying.She missed him.Very very much.She missed the feeling of burying her head into his chest, feeling each others warmth and affection.She missed the feeling of him whispering sweet and lovely words right into her ears.She missed the feeling of him brushing his hands all over her hair.She missed the feeling of him caressing her cheeks and placing soft kisses all over her face.She missed his touch.She missed his voice.She missed his presence.She missed him.

"I'm fine, threepio.I think I already know what to name this precious boy."

"What is it, mistress?"

"Luke...Luke Naberrie Skywalker."

Padmé smiled.This was the exact name she wanted to give to the baby if it was a boy.

Padmé then put Luke in the cradle.The baby girl still in her arms.

"What about the girl, milady?" Asked threepio

Padmé caressed the baby girl's head.She remembered the bet they made before.If either one of them wins, they could name the baby.Anakin was right, one is a girl.She was right too, the other one is a boy.Both of them were right.

Although Anakin hadn't tell her what name he wanted for a girl, Padmé already discovers what name Anakin picked for a girl.

--

Padmé was just entering the bedroom when she heard Anakin mumbling in his sleep.

"Padmé...Padmé."

Padmé wanted to wake him but she decided to hear what he was dreaming about.

"Padmé, are you alright? Please rest...you must be exhausted."

Padmé smiled.What was he dreaming about?

"HA!"

Padmé was startled by the sudden rise of his voice.

"I told you it is a girl...A girl..."

Padmé wanted to laugh but she closed her mouth, not wanting to wake him.He was dreaming about her delivering a baby girl.

"I win.I got to...name...her."Anakin said sleepily.

"Her name..."

Padmé waited for him to spill the name he picked.Several days before,he told her that he had successfully picked a perfect name for the baby.He told her that she would love the name.He was so eager to tell Padmé the name he picked but then It would ruin the suprise.Little that he know his secret would be ruined because of him talking in his sleep...

"Leia..."

Padmé smiled brightly.Leia.That is such a wonderful name!

And after that, Anakin was completely drifting into his sleep.

Padmé then climbed to the other side of the bed and soon she joins him into a peaceful sleep.

--

"Milady, you did it again!" The droid beamed.

Padmé startled."I did what, threepio?" She asked.

"You drifted into your thoughts again.Tell me my mistress, is there anything bothering you? Are you feeling unwell? Anything I could help you?"

"I'm fine, threepio.I...I just miss Anakin." Padmé gave the droid an assuring smile.

"Oh, my. I miss master Anakin too.I miss my friend Artoo aswell.By the way, back to the topic milady.What would you name the girl?"

"Leia.Leia Naberrie Skywalker."

"What a lovely name milady.I'm sure master Anakin would be please with the name."

Padmé chuckled."Of course he would.He was the one who picked the name."

Leia finally fell asleep in her arms.As if she was satisfied after hearing her own name.

Padmé puts Leia in the cradle next to Luke.She took some time staring at the beautiful sight of her twin babies.At the moment, she swore to herself that nothing would ever harm the babies.She would protect them even if it meant her life.

Not long after, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.

Padmé turned away from the cradle.

"I'm back, my love.Did you miss me?"

Padme's face broke into a huge smile.The person ran towards her and kissed her sweetly.

"Of course I missed you.Welcome back home, Ani."
