Sorry readers writer's block.
*************************************************************************
The Jedi Ship lands in Corascant at the Jedi Temple; Padme' helps Vader
walk outside and into the building with Obi-Wan holding Lei's hand. They
saunter swiftly inside with Padme' eager the most; she stops at the Council
Room door, calms herself, and knocks politely.
"Come in." says Windu.
Padme turns to Anakin "Stay here for a few minutes, here lean against the wall." Anakin did as he was told.
She walks inside getting greetings from everyone.
"Safer you are, Padme'?"
"Yes Master Yoda I am, but I need a favor to ask you."
"Nervous you are."
"Yes."
"Brought someone you have."
"Yes Master Yoda I did."
"What is your favor Padme'," asks Windu?
"I have brought Anakin."
All the almighty Jedis faces were stunned, their eyes bulged; they haven't heard that name in years. But Yoda, on the other hand, made no expression, as if he knew.
"He is injured Masters; he needs our help."
"Why must we help a Sith Lord? Especially one that betrayed us," says a Master Jedi.
"What makes him different than us? He's a being like everyone else in this room; he just chose the wrong path. I once went down that path, and I moved here, you all were kind to me; what makes Ani's situation so different?" she said defiantly. She isn't about to give up on her husband.
"He betrayed us Miss Amidala, you didn't," spoke up the same Master Jedi.
"And I betrayed an Order as well; I betrayed The Sith. It's an Order still isn't?"
The Jedi knew she had a point there, but he felt it wasn't the same.
"Same situation it is; point you have, but Ani slain by Vader; Ani no longer Ani," says Yoda.
"I know in Darth Vader Ani is in there still," she says rebelliously.
"So sure you are, why," asks Yoda?
Padme' opens the tear in her dress, and rips it, making it wider showing them her scar.
"I would of died if it wasn't for him," she said softly.
"Interesting that is, heal Sith Lords can't, anger clouds them."
"Ani is still in there; now he needs our help. Now will you help him please." Tear welled in her eyes but her anger kept them in.
"Help him we can't."
Padme' let a tear drop but quickly wiped it away.
"But Lei can."
Her eyebrows furrowed, wondering if she heard him correctly, "What?"
"Stronger in the force she is, powerful enough healing power she has. Even though, brother stronger, Lei will do."
"She'll get killed, when I was once wounded Anakin collapsed when he healed me five years ago."
"Connected he is to you, connected Lei is not to Anakin, yet."
Lei popped her head in from hearing her name numerous times.
"Lei come here." Padme reached for Lei's hand and brought her close.
Yoda smiled at Lei, seeing her for the first time in a long time, "Your beauty she has."
"Hello Master Yoda," She says in her sweet, childish, angel voice.
"Remember me you do?"
"No Master."
"See, strong in force she is, read my mind she did."
"Alright, but how will you persuade her to."
"To do what mommy?" Lei looked up confused.
Padme' knelt down, "You know the dark suited man, honey?"
"Yes."
"Well he's your-" Padme couldn't find the right words to tell her daughter. But she didn't have to; Lei was looking at her intently as if reading something.
"He's my daddy isn't he?"
"Yes, you read my mind didn't you?"
Lei nods.
"Will you heal him then?"
"Yes."
"Obi-Wan bring him in."
Obi-Wan walks in helping his former Padawan inside, He slowly let Anakin down to the middle of the room. Lei walks over with her doll, and sits one her knees, laid her doll down, and laid her hands on her father's chest. She can feel machine-like heartbeats; to her it is a disturbing sound.
Anakin feels his daughter's small hands; it's warmth, fiery to the touch. It made his torn soul whole again but with an opening still to fill; it's a gap for his son Luke. He wonders how he was, what he looks like. He looks at Lei weakly, he can barely keep his eyes open, but he forces him self so he can stare at his daughter, she looks like his Padme, with her brown hair, pale skin, and deep, brown eyes.
Lei closes her eyes and concentrates, she feels the force around her; she looked deep in her mind and sought out her power to help her father. There it is, deep in her mind waiting to be used; she takes it out and feels it run through her very fingertips, obeying her every command.
Anakin can feel his scars disappear, his lungs start to heal slowly; it soothes him. Lei's eye brows are scrunching at points, as if reading something again only, she is really, though, looking inside Anakin; examining what needs to be healed, which is many things. She's almost done but it took awhile for her to help his lungs since one of them had almost disintegrated away. She did it, she opens her eyes and looks upon her father, she removes his helmet; his face wasn't scared anymore, he looks exactly like himself five years ago, only looking more mature of course.
Padme knelt down again, "Thank you for doing that, I know how you want a father so much."
"Yes I do mommy, but I didn't do it for me."
"Whom did you do it for?"
"You, When you told me to trust him, I saw your eyes were sparkling, you looked happy. I've never seen you happy."
Padme' smiles and hugs Lei tightly.
"Hey what about me," jokes Anakin feebly, still weak from the healing. Padme' looks at him and smiles; she helps Anakin up for a hug. She let go and looked at him; he didn't look innocent anymore that's for sure, but his luminous, blue eyes still light up the room, along with his smile.
"Cut in if I may, business we have with Anakin," interrupts Yoda plitely.
"Yes Master Yoda." Padme gives a small curtsey and takes Lei's hand and walks out the door.
"Anakin, you do understand that you have betrayed two Orders?"
"Yes Master Windu, I realize that but if you let me, I would like to continue my training as a Jedi."
"Asking a lot you are Anakin," speaks up Yoda.
"Yes Master Yoda, but what I really want is your forgiveness first. I know I have lost your trust a long time ago but I would like to gain it back."
"Padawan you can not be again, but fight at our side you may."
"Thank you Master Yoda." Anakin bows respectfully, walks away about to leave.
"Forgot something you did," says Yoda. Anakin turns around puzzled.
"What Master Yoda?"
Yoda floats to him with his hover chair and hands him a small, wrapped, object. Anakin removes the cloth from the entity revealing his old jedi lightsaber he left with Padme' to find all those years ago-
"Needing this you will," says Yoda with a smile upon his face.
"Thank you Master Yoda," thanks Anakin softly, he rewraps his saber and walks out the door to his awaiting family. ************************************************************************
