A/N- okay, I know I said I wasn't going to do A/Ns or disclaimers, but here's one for you: I think Bail Organa is the right name of Leia's adopted father. If anyone is sure about the name, please tell me!!!

A Love That Turned Evil

Chapter Five

Bail Organa

            A day before Padme and Anakin were scheduled to leave Coruscant for Naboo, a knock on their door interrupted their cozy dinner. Giggling, Padme slid off Anakin's lap and went to answer it.

            "ANAKIN! We have a visitor!"

            "Who?" Anakin stood up and walked to the door.

            A man stood there, and automatically Anakin disliked him.

            "Who are you?" He said a little rudely.

            "Ani!" Padme gave him a stern glance. "This is Bail Organa. He is an old friend of mine.

            Anakin's eyes narrowed into slits. Padme sensed immediately that there was some rivalry between the two.

            Bail practically ignored Anakin. He took Padme's hand and kissed it.

            "Fair Padme, friend of my childhood." He began an eloquent sounding speech. "You are more radiant than ever. I am so glad to be in your company again."

            Padme withdrew her hand and went to stand beside Anakin.

            "Who is that?" It was Bail Organa's turn to be rude.

            "I'm her husband." Anakin answered.

            Bail Organa was flabbergasted. "What?" He sputtered. "Padme, you're not married."

            "Yes, she is!" Anakin answered back.

            "Look, I don't know who you think you are, but Padme-" Bail advanced towards Anakin, who shoved Padme behind his back and pulled out his lightsaber.

            "Would you like for this to get messy?" Anakin threatened.

            "Ani! But that thing away, you'll kill us all." Anakin swiftly withdrew the blade. "Bail, I AM married, and Anakin Skywalker IS my husband. My name is Padme Skywalker now, no matter how hard you may try I would never be Padme Organa, because I love ANAKIN."

            Bail Organa turned toward Anakin, who had been keeping his hand on his lightsaber. "I would like to speak to Padme alone, Alakin, or whatever your name is."

            "It's ANAKIN." And with that Anakin turned and left the room, listening from the kitchen.

            "Bail, I know you are-"

            "In love with you."

            "I know you're in love with me. I was never in love with you, though. You were- are like my brother. Don't ruin it now. I know I can rely on you."

            "Anything you want, Milady, is yours." Anakin heard the swish of Bail Organa's cloak as he walked through the door.

            "Oh, Ani." Padme slid her arms around Anakin's neck, and he slid his living arm around her waist. But somehow he felt that the cozy mood that they had had before had gone out the door with Bail Organa.

            Later that night, Anakin couldn't sleep. Thoughts chased each other around his head.

            He was a Jedi. This Bail Organa loved his Padme. What could Padme feel for this Organa? 

            Anakin tucked his arm around Padme, who snuggled closer to him. Padme was his, Anakin reassured himself. HIS. Only his.

            "Padme, I love you."

            "I love you too, Ani, but I need some sleep. We have a long trip tomorrow."

            "I know, but I have to talk to you."

            "About Bail?"

            "Yes."

            Padme sighed and flipped over, so that she was facing Anakin. His arms were still around her waist, and their noses touched. Padme avoided his piercing gaze.

            "It was like this. This is how it happened. I grew up on Naboo, right next to Bail Organa. He was a bit older than I was, and a bit more learned. His father was a pilot. He always wanted his son to be a pilot too, but since the start Bail Organa knew that he was destined to be a leader.

            "But that's beside the point. Bail told me one day when we were walking in the fields that he loved me and he thought that I was an angel. He carved me a little charm too, but I threw it in the river.

            "Bail would not accept the fact that I just didn't love him, and I never would, in the way he wanted me to. He was like my brother. He tried and tried to make me love him but in that way he repelled me and I wanted to get away from him. "

            Padme looked into Anakin's eyes and hugged him. "Nothing happened between us, Ani. I love you with all my heart and I would never even dream of going back to Bail. I love you, Ani. I'm all yours."

            Anakin was able to fall asleep then. It was Padme who stayed awake.
