*Angel Eyes* - *The Beginning* (Part One)
********
"Mommy?" a small voice asked from behind a pillar. A short girl peeked around the side revealing two perfectly round, blue eyes. Her long blonde hair hung loose at her waist as she looked from side to side. "Mooooooommmmy?!" she shouted louder.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed in the large room. The girl spun around and smiled widely as her eyes looked up at the figure walked towards her.
"Daddy!!! You're home!!!" she squealed as she threw herself into the man's arms. She looked up at him, his eyes were the same blue as hers and his blonde hair matched her colour almost exactly.
"Isabella! What are you doing here? I thought that you would be asleep by now," the tall man said as he held the small bundle in his arms.
Isabella scrunched up her nose in fake disgust. "Daddy, I'm not tired. Besides I'm old enough to go to sleep later," she said lifting her nose higher with a huff. But she yawned shortly aferwards, all her previous words betrayed.
"Well you could have fooled me, Princess.
Come on I'll take you to your room. You need a good rest," he said as he
carried her through a pair of large doors. She opened her mouth to protest,
but yet another yawn escaped her small lips. She lay her head on his right
shoulder and sighed deeply. Her father smiled at his daughter's sudden
submissiveness. As he carried her down a long hall in the direciton of
her room, all that could be heard was the soft echo of his boots on the
cold marble.

It was nearly 8:30 in the evening, and the twin suns were slowly making their decent from the blue sky. A young woman was seated gracefully in a large arm chair reading a small leather bound book. A soft knock at the door made her jump and her head immediately snapped up from her book.
"W..who is it?" she said shakily as she stood and walked cautiously to the door. No one answered, but the soft knocking proceeded once again. With a slight frown, she grabbed the knob and opened the door, peering though the small crack she made. Her frown immediately vanished as she looked up at her 'visitor'.
"Anakin!" she said excitedly as she threw her arms around his neck. His strong arms instinctively wrapped around her tiny waist and pulled her closer. He looked down at the woman in his arms. Her chocolate brown eyes shinning with glee. He lowered his head till their lips met. They kissed for a breif moment and slowly separated to take a quick breath.
"How's my Angel?" Anakin said, lifting one hand to stroke her long chestnut brown hair.
She looked up lovingly at him and grinned. "I'm just fine. I wasn't expecting you back till tomorrow! Why didn't you send a message?"
"And miss the wonderful look on your face when you saw me? Never!" he answered lowering his head again to brush his lips against her forehead. "I surprised Isabella as well," he added proudly.
She smiled up at him again. She lifted one hand to his head and brushed away a blonde strand of hair from his eyes. Her fingers lingered on his cheek for a moment before bringing his face back down to hers. When they finally broke the tender kiss, the room had become surprisingly dark.
"God, I love you, Padmé," he whispered in her ear when they parted.
She let out a small giggle as she pulled away from his hold and crossed the room to a table by the window. She bent over and picked up 6 candles and lit them. The entire room began to glow and the faint hint of vanilla wafted around the room.
Padmé bent down again to pick up another candle when two arms wrapped firmly around her waist once more. She could feel his hard stomach pressing up against her back. She relaxed into his arms and closed her eyes. Suddenly soft music filled the room. Padmé opened her eyes and turned to look at Anakin. His blue eyes twinkled mischeivously.
"H..how?" she started but was cut off as his fingers pressed against her lips.
"Let's just say I little Jedi magic," he replied. His arms wrapped around her and pulled her close. They swayed back and forth to the sweet music for what seemed like hours. The song changed and they continued to sway in each other's arms. All was well till Anakin lifted his head from it's resting place on her forehead.
"Bella's awake," he whispered.
Padmé sighed and finally opened her eyes. "Is she heading this way?" she asked in a whisper to match his. He nodded slowly turning to look at the door. They paused and watched door for a few moments, then sure enough, a tiny knock could be heard on the other side of the door.
Padmé smiled up at her husband and said, "You're just too good at that." Then she crossed the room to open the door, while he walked over to turn the music down.
"Bella. What are you doing up?" Padmé asked her daughter as she crouched down to her level. Isabella threw her arms around her mother and hugged tightly.
"I couldn't sleep. I had a bad, scary dream," she said quietly into her mother's hair.
Padmé lifted her up and carried her to the large bed. Anakin walked over as well and looked at Isabella with concerned eyes. All three sat on the bed and waited for the small child to continue.
"I dreamt that this really big, tall man in a black mask wanted to take me away from you, Mommy. He seemed nice at first but then he got mean and pulled me away from you," she said hugging her mother tighter. Anakin leaned over and began stroking his daughter's long golden hair.
"It's ok, Princess. We are both here and no one will ever take you away from us," he said comfortingly.
Isabella looked up at him with wide eyes, filled with tears and fear. "But Daddy, in my dream, you were the big man in black."
Anakin's jaw dropped. He looked up
at Padmé who was just as shocked.
