It was late the next morning by the time Anakin woke up. He opened his eyes to see the bright sunlight making it's way through the window. He turned over, expecting to greet his wife with a simple kiss when he noticed her absent from the large bed. Anakin sat upright almost instantly and looked around for Padmé.
"Padmé?" He called out
Padmé leaned in from the kitchen, and looked at him.
"Good morning"
Anakin stretched out across the bed, relieving himself of overnight cramps. He then joined Padmé in the dining area, still dressed in only his pants.
"I thought you left me"
he said smiling, with a serious tone to his voice.
Padmé looked up at him, startled by his comment.
"No..Of course not." She said, reassuringly.
Anakin walked uneasily over to his wife. The sleep still weighing him down. He stood behind her and watched her as she prepared a breakfast for the two.
"Looks good!"
Padmé smiled a little and looked at him.
"Thanks..I'm really new at this..".
Anakin placed his hands on Padmé's hips as she continued working on the meal. Anakin rested his chin on her shoulder when there was a knock at the door. Padmé looked up, startled, at Anakin....unsure of what to think.
Anakin quickly left Padmé's side to see who it was at their door. He looked out from the window only to see a firmiliar figure standing on the other side.
"Oh no! It's Obi-Wan! What's he going to do about this? What are WE going to do?"
Anakin panicked as he faced Padmé once more.
Padmé shook her head, with no response, as she was unsure what they were going to do.
Anakin turned quickly about to head to the bedroom when the sound of the door opening startled him.
"Anakin!" The raging voice of Obi-wan shouted from the foyer.
Anakin paused for a moment, and turned slowly to face Obi Wan, his heart racing.
"Anakin, may I ask why I was sent by the Jedi to find you, and it turns out you are hiding in a Wedding Reserve?"
Anakin bowed his head and did not answer, but made his way toward a love seat just off the side of the dining area.
"Anakin, why are you here? I have not sent you here, Padmé has not sent you here, and the Jedi has been frantically worried for you! Why Anakin?"
Padmé sat down next to Anakin, and took his hand into hers. She looked at Anakin, really unsure of what to say, but decided to take a chance.
"Obi Wan..." "..We're married."
Padmé took in a shaky breathe and looked from Anakin to Obi Wan.
Anakin looked uneasily from Padmé to Obi wan, unsure of what to say. He held Padmé's hand more securely.
"What?" Obi wan replied, as unsure as they were.
"That's right..." Anakin pulled himself closer to Padmé and placed his right arm around her. "We're married."
Padmé bit her lip, wondering how Obi Wan would react. She hoped Anakin wouldn't get into a lot of trouble as she glanced over at him.
Anakin bowed his head.
"Anakin, Padmé I am very happy for the two of you and kindly give you my blessings..." Obi Wan began as Anakin raised his head.
"Though, how do you think the Jedi Council will feel? Let alone react? Padmé, how will you continue being a senator like this, having to support a life together. Word will get out. And Anakin, what will the Jedi Council do to you for this? And me? For letting you two get married!"
Padmé felt a pang of guilt. She hadn't thought about any of that.
"Obi Wan, it's not your fault...you didn't let us, you didn't even know." She sighed.
Anakin looked over to Padmé.
"He's right, this is a huge interference in our lives, what are they going to say or think? What are we going to do?"
Padmé shook her head.
"I don't know. We didn't think about any of this before."
She bit her bottom lip once again.
Anakin shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, we love each other, I'd leave the Jedi if I had to in order to be with the one I love!"
Padmé smiled a little at Anakin.
"So what are we going to do until people find out? Keep it a secret? Or are we going to just go out and tell them?"
Anakin stared at the wall as he thought of what to say.
"Well, I'm sure the Jedi knows by now, they have sources you know." Obi wan added.
Padmé looked from Obi wan to Anakin, not really knowing what to say.
"Well, I best be going and speak with the Jedi Council. If they have already found out...well who knows." Obi wan sat up and took his leave of the room.
"Good Day Ani, Padmé" He bowed and turned as he walked out the door.
She looked at Anakin and stood up.
"Anakin, what are we going to do about this?"
Anakin stood by her side.
"Well, we'll just have to wait to hear what the council says about this. Until then, I promised a nice day together, only us, alone. And I'm not the type to break promises."
She hugged Anakin.
"I know...so what do you want to do?"
she asked, smiling and trying to forget about the conversation.
Anakin smiled back at her and glanced over at the dining table.
"Well, I want to eat the marvelous breakfast you made, and we'll plan the rest of the dy then"
All right," she said and walked over to the table. "It's probably not very good..."
"Padmé?" He called out
Padmé leaned in from the kitchen, and looked at him.
"Good morning"
Anakin stretched out across the bed, relieving himself of overnight cramps. He then joined Padmé in the dining area, still dressed in only his pants.
