CHAPTER FOURTEEN
WHAT?
"W. . .what? what are you. . . is it true?" Anakin's jaw was hanging, Padmé barely heard what he said, but she could tell what it was by the way her husband was looking at her.
"You heard me, Ani. I wouldn't joke about something like that, you know me", she answered. Anakin sighed.
"Yes, you're right. So how many months are you?" There was an awqward silence. Padmé took a couple of deep breaths and looked at Anakin.
"Two months". Anakin couldn't believe what his wife had just said to him.
"You mean. . . you were already pregnant when I left? You knew?". Padmé nodded without looking at him. "Padmé, why didn't you tell me?". A tear rolled down Padmé's cheeks.
"Because I didn't wanted you to be more worried than you already were. You didn't wanted to go to this mission because of me and the twins, imagine how worried you were going to be if you knew I was pregnant again. Your missions are very dangerous Anakin, and I don't want you to get hurt". Anakin smiled at her.
"Padmé, don't worry about me. You should be calmed and relaxed, you have a little person living inside you right now. Thank you for telling me". Padmé smiled relived. "Tell me, how are the twins?".
"The twins are great. They just really miss you, that's all. I miss you too, Ani".
"Me too. I wish I could be there with you". Somebody called Anakin through his comm link. "I have to go now. Kiss the twins for me".
"I will. Oh!, and Anakin?"
"Yes Padmé?". Padmé smiled kindly at him.
"Congratulations".
