Sorry this took so long, I've been sick. Well enjoy!

~15 minutes later~
Padme comes out with her luggage wearing her hair down but the sides of her hair pinned up, and she's wearing no make-up. her outfit is a blue, thin- layered, wrinkled and stretched dress, with a dark blue poncho, which is way bigger than her. It is cut in a very low V shape with a big circle design sown on the bottom, with all three strips of multi-colored strings hanging down from it. (This outfit is from when Anakin tells Padme he killed the whole group of Tusken Raiders.)
Anakin has never seen her wear anything that looked so comfortable before, and thought she looks better that way. "Here let me help you with that," says Anakin taking her luggage.
"Thank you."
"Shall we go?"
"Let's."
Padme then follows Anakin outside to meet up with the departing Sabe and the others (Sabe is wearing what Padme was wearing.).
"I'll miss you good friend," says Padme, giving Sabe a hug. They let go and Sabe looks at Anakin.
"Keep her safe please Anakin."
"Don't' worry Sabe I won't let her out of my sight."
"Thank you."
"Sabe, it's time to go," says Captain Typhoo.
"Alright," she says softly, looking at him but turning back to Padme.
"Bye."
"Bye," says Padme.
Sabe turns around as Padme did the same and went their separate ways.
Anakin puts her luggage in the boat, takes Padme's hand and helps her the boat and then hoists himself in. He sits in the pilots seat and turns the boat on, the engine rumbles, Anakin presses and pulls other knobs and making it roar a little louder. He moves the boat backward and then forwards driving it, as he glances at Padme multiple times, watching her rub her wound, after awhile it starts to annoy him.
"Alright that's it." He stops the boat in the middle of the lake and turns to Padme.
"What?" Anakin sits across from her only closer.
"Your, wound here let me heal it."
"Why?"
"It'll get worse if I don't."
"Alright." She moves her dress up to her wound wrapped in a bandage, he removes the bandage and inspects her wound, and it is growing worse. He then laid his hands above the wound not touching it.
Padme is getting uncomfortable by the minute, being that close to him was sending shivers up her spine; she kept glancing at him, watching his face making no other expression but of concentration. She looks back at her wound, a scab is forming over it, but then that part of the wound vanishes slowly. She didn't understand why she didn't feel right being near her friend, but when they were close like this her heart pounds harder each time she felt his breath, shivering just from his touch, she doesn't know what to think.
Anakin, on the other hand, finds this intoxicating. He longs to touch her smooth skin, to feel warmth from her breath, his heart stops every time she comes close; he wants to hold her so much but doesn't know how she feels towards him.
"There." He removes his hands and looks back up at her.
"Thank you," she says softly looking up slowly.
Anakin stands up and walks to his seat, starts the boat, and zooms off again.
~20 minutes later~
Anakin and Padme walk off the boat and alongside the lake to her house.
"I'm glad we're coming here, it's peaceful here, and has familiar faces of which I know and love." For once her smile widened with happiness to be home.
"Aunt Padme! Aunt Padme!" cry two little girls running towards them. Padme bent low to hug them tightly, "Ryoo! Pooja! I'm so happy to see you." She lets go and stood up.
"Girls this is Anakin. Anakin, these are my nieces Ryoo and Pooja."
The little pair blushes shyly and says their hellos.
"Hello," he answers back with a smile. Then two women and a man come out with wide smiles upon their faces.
"Padme," yells the younger one!
"Sola!" they both hug dearly as the two other do as well.
"Mom, Dad, I'm so happy to see you."
"Oh dear Padme, look how you've grown," says the mother happily.
"And hello who is this," asks the dad inspecting Anakin?
"Oh this is Anakin. Anakin this is my sister Sola, and this is my mom an dad."
"Please to meet you," he says politely.
"Like wise," says the father shaking Anakin's hand vigorously.
"Now who's up for dinner," asks the mom with a bright smile, Anakin can see where Padme got her glowing smile from.
"Oh thank you we're starved."
"Good, because I have enough to feed a town," she says gleefully.
They all step inside and sit around the table. Anakin sits there, smelling unfamiliar aromas, but he's to hungry to refuse. He takes a bit of everything eating satisfied.
"So Anakin are you Padme's boyfriend, because if you are-"
"Sola! He's not my boyfriend, he's a Jedi assigned to protect me."
"A bodyguard," says her mother confused. "Padme, you didn't tell us it's that serious."
"It's not mom, Chancellor Palpatine said it would be better for me if I'm protected by an old friend instead of security."
"An old friend?"
"Yes Anakin is a friend, I've known him for years. Do you remember that boy who saved Naboo from the Trade Federation?"
Everyone nods.
"Well this is him, he's grown up."
"Oh."
Silence lingered about for a moment."
"Padme dear, why haven't you settled down? Ever since Crevin was killed you never would get close to anyone. Haven't you had enough stress already?"
Padme's face dropped, she didn't want to be remembered of the day Crevin died.
"Mom, it's because I still want to help the people of Naboo, I always have."
"I know but don't work yourself to death, live life sometime, relax."
Padme won't answer, she just filled her mouth with food on purpose.
Anakin looks at her, he can see her pain she felt, he feels really bad for her, to the point where he wants to hug her tightly and comfort her. But his thoughts are disturbed by Sola staring at him intently and with a sly smile, as if she knows a secret he has. He gives her puzzled looks but her smile only widens.
Everyone jabbers on about daily things, Padme telling them what she has done in the past, and what she plans to do in the near future. When everyone finishes, the mother, Sola, and Padme wash the dishes, and the father sits on the deck watching Anakin play with Ryoo and Pooja.
Padme watches, smiling at how Anakin is so good with kids, of how much fun her nieces are having. She's watching intently so much that she forgets about the dishes. Sola catches her, and follows her gaze to Anakin, she smiles slyly again and looks back at Padme. She then waits until their mother leaves the room, and goes outside the deck with their father.
"How come you never told us about him," asks Sola, bringing Padme back to reality.
"What? What's there to talk about?"
"Oh come on, don't play dumb."
"What? He's just a boy."
"A boy? (Sola giggles aloud.) Have you seen the way he looks at you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you saying, Paddy, that you haven't noticed?"
"Don't call me Paddy. Anyway, Anakin and I are friends, our relationship is strictly professional."
"I think you have noticed, but you're afraid to admit it."
Padme sighs, showing that she knows.
"You know, you think more like a Jedi than he does," teases Sola.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, ever since Crevin died, you shut yourself out of love, never entering again."
Padme sits in a chair and heaves a sigh.
"Padme, I know you miss him but you have to let go and move on before sadness eats your heart fully." Sola leaves the room for her sister to think things over. Padme sits twirling a strand of her hair with her fingers, until Anakin runs in trying to catch his breath.
"Boy-your nieces-are a-handful," he breathes out.
"Yes they can be."
"Are you alright you seem stressed somehow?"
"No it's alright, I'm fine, just tired from the long day."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'll just go to bed, good night."
"Good night."
Padme, goes into her old room and falls on the bed, she's so confused not knowing what to do. And now she worries how Sabe is doing and how the vote is going, but finally the sandman caught up with her thoughts and puts her to sleep.
Anakin, on the other hand, can't go to sleep. He had such fun today, with her family, but then he thinks of his mother Shmi, he wishes he were with her right now, being comforted by her, hearing her gentle voice. But then he thinks about Padme, wanting to hold her so, but not letting go of her but of time, he wishes time would stop to relive this moment over and over again. He falls asleep with a smile upon his face, waiting for a new day to come and to see Padme once again. ***************************************************************************
I know nothing really exciting or suspenseful happened, but if I get two, three, or more reviews, I'll make the next chapter, which will show my version of their first kiss but, of course, Padme will see it as a mistake. PLEASE REVIEW!!
