Authors Note: What if Anakin's mother hadn't died in the Raiders camp ? What if he hadn't lost his arm in the fight with Tyranus?
My thoughts on how things would have then worked out after Anakin's and Padmé's wedding.
There will be a few parts to this: The wedding night, Going to Tatooine to check on his mother going to the Jedi Council to take the trials, The final battle with Palpatine and Darth Tyranus, and the birth of Luke and Leia. I'm not sure if I'll have more after that, but we'll see, and I also have no idea when it will all be complete.

Part 2: Home Again.
It had been a pleasant night, and the two of them had slept well beyond the rising of the Naboo suns. When they had awoken, they had bathed, together needless to say, and it had taken the better part of three hours before they were out of there. Anakin didn't know what it was about her that drew him to want to touch and kiss her every time he saw her, but he didn't care to find out, he just knew that his love for her would never die.
Now, in the late hours of the afternoon, with the suns just starting to lower in the sky, Anakin stood outside a Nubian cruiser, his hands tucked into the sleeves of his cloak, waiting for Padmé to come with her bags.
She had insisted they go and visit his mother to see ho she was healing after Anakin had rescued her from the raiders' camp. He had nodded and told her together what she would need, and they would leave as soon as possible.
He wanted to see his mother again, thought it had only been a week at most since he had brought her back to the Lars farm. He had wanted to stay longer and catch up with his mother, but the signal had come from Obi-Wan, and he couldn't just sit around and let his master die, so they had left.
Padmé came out of the Theed palace and into the hanger carrying little more than a small duffle bag, her face serene and radiating happiness. As she approached Anakin, she stood up on her tip toes and kissed his cheek, which made him smile.
"Ready to go love?" He asked, reaching out and taking her bag from her. Padmé nodded, she too wanted to see how the kind woman was doing, the one who'd brought her handsome loving husband into the world. Shmi was important to Padmé as she was to Anakin, and her health and well being were among the top concerns of the young Senator.
"It will take five standard hours to get there, I hope you can handle a mischievous padawan Padmé." Anakin spoke with a husky voice as he walked up the ramp, looking over his shoulder at his wife, who only winked and quickly followed him up.

The Harsh Tatooine suns beat down on the small sand racer, and as if increased speed, happy whoops and laughter came from its riders.
Padmé clung to Anakin tightly, her cheek against his back and her arms around his chest. Anakin was whooping from the adrenaline rush that he was receiving from hitting top speeds, it reminded him of the pod race he had been in when he was nine. They were fast approaching the small hutch of the Lars' farm, the sand whipping out behind them.
Owen Lars stepped out from the door way, shielding his eyes from the suns as he watched, trying to find the source of the loud laughter and the roaring motor. He saw the sand could rise up closer and closer to the house, the laughter getting louder and louder. About 10 feet away from Owen, the sand speeder stopped, and so did the sand.
He blinked his eyes a couple times and looked at the riders, he was astonished to say the least.
"Anakin, what are you doing back so soon? I thought you had important matters to attend to." He said, walking over and giving his half brother a hug.
"Almost all important matters have been dealt with, in fact I'm here to deal with the most important one that I haven't gotten around too yet. Where's mom?"Anakin returned to hug lightly, and then stepped back, reaching down to take Padmés hand in his.
" She's just making dinner. She'll be so happy to see you again, and she hardly got a chance last time." Owen walked back to the door, gesturing for Anakin and Padmé to follow him inside, which they did, hand in hand.
"Mom, there's someone here to see you." Owens' voice echoed off the walls slightly, and was answered with the hurried shuffling of pots and pan.
Shmi moved out into the main room, limping slightly from the pain that still stayed from the abuse administered by the raiders. Her eyes settled on the young man in Jedi robes, and the beautiful woman on his arm. Her smile brightened and tears leaked from her eyes, as she hurried as fast as she could over to Anakin, and embraced him. Padmé released his arm and it wrapped around his mothers shoulders.
Anakin too was crying somewhat, holding his mother close. She was all right, she was healing well, she had survived, and he had been the one to save her.
"Anakin, you came back. You've grown so much my darling little boy." Shmi's voice was sobbing, relieved that her son was alive.
"Oh course I came back mom, like I promised. You were too tired last time to say more than ' I love you.' Force am I happy that you are all right."
Padmé smiled happily, her own eyes misting at the sight of mother and son being reunited completely. It made her happier than a wookie at the gun console to see Anakin so happy.
"And it's looks as if you've brought your little friend, how are you doing Padmé?" Shmi asked, letting go of Anakin and walking back toward Padmé.
"I'm fine, Mom." Padmé said, smiling and walking over to hug her, Anakin moved to stand behind his wife, placing his hands on her shoulders.
Needless to say, Shmi Skywalker was more than surprised at the sudden news, and moved back a little to look at the two.
"Come now, lets eat and have something to drink, it seems I have we have a lot of catching up to do." Shmi said with a smile and limped off to the kitchen smiling, Anakin and Padmé following not too far behind.
~~~~~
Anakin sipped at the purple liquid in his glass, watching as his wife and mother talked on and on about this and that. He had been filled in on everything that had happened; Watto selling his mother, her marriage, even her being captured by the raiders. He smiled against the rim of his glass.
"No, I think we need to tell Master Skywalker right away R2." C3PO's voice could be heard as the droids walked and rolled into the kitchen of the small home.
R2-D2 beeped and whistled, electing a smack on the top of his dome from the upright walking droid.
Anakin cleared his throat and looked at C3PO, who raised his head.
"Oh, Master Anakin, I was just coming to tell you about a communication we have received from one Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2 says that it can wait, but it is of up most importance according to Master Kenobi."
R2 beeped and whistled more aggressively.
"R2, you are a mere utility droid, I on the other hand am a protocol droid, I think that I have more authority to decide whether or not the message is important enough for Master Anakin to know of right away."
Shmi, Padmé, and Anakin laughed at the antics of the two droids, then became serious.
"Please C3PO, tell me what Master Obi-Wan said was so important." Anakins hands folded into the long sleeves of his robes, and he looked at the droid that he had constructed expectantly.
"Oh yes, quiet right. Master Kenobi says that the Council wants to return to the Temple right away, they wish to speak to you."
Anakin nodded and stood up, his hands still hidden by the sleeves of his cloak.
"Please return the message with confirmation that Padmé and I will be on Coruscant in a day or so, and I will meet with the council when I arrive."
