Anakin puts the ship on auto-pilot to Corascant as he sits in the pilot
seat and sighs in frustration, he looks over at Padme who is has still not
awaken from this long sleep. He watches as she grunts, her eyes furrow, and
her head moves at some points.
But what he doesn't know is that she is having a nightmare:
She's in a dark world, there are people's bodies everywhere, blood upon them, screaming echoing in every turn. She's looks about 8 moths pregnant, and is running form a dark figure. Fear is running up her spine, droplets of sweats on the ridge of her forehead. She trips and falls. She looks up at the figure, but before it could garb her, she kicks it to the ground. The figure falls with its helmet coming off, it lays motionless. She gets up slowly, and walks toward, but to her surprise, she sees Anakin lying there in the dark suit.
She awakes with a gasp, Anakin rushing to her side.
"Padme, it's alright you just had a nightmare." She looks into his eyes and hugs him tightly. She squeezes her eyes shut, hoping what she saw was just a dream, not real.
Anakin lets go and brushes some strands of her hair away from her face.
"We're almost at Corascant, just another hour. You should relax till then." Padme then notices the bags under Ani's eyes.
"And you should get some rest Ani, you look very tired," she says caressing his cheek.
"But I need to monitor the ship."
"I'll do that, don't worry Ani; just get some rest." Anakin nods as then Padme gets up and sits in the pilot seat. He lies down and falls asleep immediately, glad that Padme is back with him. But Padme, on the other hand, ponders about her nightmare, wondering what it's trying to tell her.
~An hour later, Corascant~
The ship lands at the Jedi Temple, with Windu, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and others come rushing out. Anakin comes out first helping Padme out next. She wraps her robe tighter feeling vulnerable in her nightgown.
"With you the force is strong young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart," says Yoda.
Padme gives a polite smile, "Thank you, Master Yoda. Now if you all will excuse me I will like to get dressed." She leaves with Anakin following her but then Obi-Wan stops him.
"Anakin," says Windu, with Anakin then turning around.
"You disobeyed orders from us, and your Master. You did this without thought, and blindly followed her signature," says Windu sternly.
"Master I-"
"But yet, you fought Dooku gallantly, rescued Padme without hesitance, and singled handedly fought a small army of Droids. What you did is what few would accomplish. But don't think you can get away with it again."
"Yes Master," Anakin bows and leaves inside the Temple.
Padme gets dressed in a gray blue dress, with a dark blue, velvet top. Also her hair is in two exotic buns with a small bun in the back, and is wearing a silver tiara with two silver plates above her ears (This is the dress she wears when packing in Ep2.).
Anakin walks in, causing Padme to look up.
"The Council will like to speak with you."
"Alright," says Padme softly, following Ani out the door, and through the corridors. They make it to two large doors; Anakin knocks on one of them.
"Enter you may," says Yoda.
Anakin opens the doors and lets Padme walk in front.
"Ah Senator Amidala," says Yoda.
"You wanted to see me Master Yoda," asks Padme.
"Yes, on ship, what happened?"
"Well Master Yoda, truthfully I'm still, to this moment, not sure exactly what happened. It confuses me."
"Tell us as best you can," says Windu.
"Well I can show you of what I found interesting. Now I need one of you to strike at me."
They looked at her confused.
"It's alright, don't worry I know what I'm doing."
Windu and Yoda looked at each other and then back at Padme.
"Are you sure," asks Windu?
"Yes."
"What should we strike you with?"
"An object I guess."
"Alright," says Windu giving a sigh.
Anakin's eyes grow wide, "Masters you can't possibly-"
"Ani it's alright, trust me."
Anakin backs down; Windu then uses the forces and picks up a chair and throws it right at Padme, with Anakin heart stopping, forgetting how to breathe. But then he hears nothing-just silence; his eyes widen with amazement seeing the chair in the air but not hitting Padme, the chair then is thrown across the room and hits a wall. All the Jedi mumble with each other, in shock of what happened.
"Silence everyone," says Yoda. Everyone quiets down.
"Figure this out we will, until meantime, find another place to stay you should, another place you know of?"
"Yes, my parents home, I was hiding out there before, but that was when I had a handmaiden, Sabe, play as my decoy here for the vote."
"Go there you must, tell no one of it though."
"Yes Master Yoda." Padme then leaves the room.
"And Anakin, protect her you must still, in grave danger she still is."
"Yes Master," says Anakin bowing before them, and then leaving to Padme's room.
"The Sith must want Padme out of the Republic," says Windu
"True that is, if die she does, democracy dies too."
~Padme's quarters~
Padme packs with then Anakin coming in; she looks up, "What do you think must be protecting me?"
"I don't, whatever it is it stumped Yoda good."
Padme gets pack to packing, "I think there is a spy for the Sith somewhere."
"A spy?"
"Padme looks up, "Yes, how else would they know every place I go? The only time they didn't know was when Sabe took my place here for the speech."
"Who do you think the spy is?"
"I don't know, but something inside is telling me it's someone we would never suspect."
"Inside you?"
"Yes, I don't know what is telling me but something is. When I get to Naboo, I'm getting a healer to examine me."
~Jedi port~
Padme comes out carrying one suitcase and Anakin next to her carrying the other; Obi-Wan, and Windu stand outside next to a Jedi Starship.
"Be safe Anakin, and good luck," says Obi-Wan.
"Thank you Master,"
"May the force be with you," says Obi-Wan.
"May the force be with you Master." Anakin and Padme walk up and inside the ship, with then the other Jedi watching it take off.
"Do you think it is wise for Anakin to protect Padme, Master Yoda."
"Feeling I have, part of his destiny it is."
~Naboo, Padme's Home~
Padme lays in her bed with a healer examining her, and with Anakin and her parents standing outside the door.
After five minutes the healer is done and packs up.
"Well, is there anything wrong with me."
"No you are perfectly fine, healthy as ever," says the healer with an assuring smile.
Padme sighs in relief until the healer says, "Oh and that you seem to be a week and three days pregnant"
Padme eyes grew wide, and she gasped for air.
"Wh-What? Pregnant!" Padme panics as she stands up.
"Usually I get a happy expression from people."
"I'm sorry but I can't have a baby, because of its father."
"What about the father, what's wrong with the father?"
"He's a Jedi."
"Oh my, if I were you Senator before your stomach gets swollen I'd quit." The healer fully packs up and leaves out the rooms with Anakin stumbling in.
"Well what did he say," asks Anakin in a small panic making Padme feel worse.
"I'm fine that's all," she says plainly.
Anakin's eyebrows furrow, confused, "But what is protecting you Padme, are you sure you're alright you seem tense?"
"I'm fine," she blurts out, taking Anakin aback.
"I am tired right now, I will like to rest my head."
"Sure Padme," says Anakin quietly, leaving the room, and closing the door.
Padme sits with a thud and puts her hands to her cheeks, 'What am I going to do.' ***************************************************************************
