Notice: I don't own anything but the plot.Actually, I don't even own some of the words in this chapter.Though I do own the bird and the animal.

Anakin and Padme sat back down on the couch, looking at each other. They didn't say anything, just looked. It took quite a bit of time before somebody said something.

"I missed you so much," Anakin said lovingly to Padme, "I thought about you're beautiful face every night and every day."

"I can't believe we waited ten years till we could see each other again. I mean, sure we saw each other when the Jedi went to the senate building, but we didn't get to see each other away from that."

Anakin didn't say anything; he just sat, looking at her. Finally, Anakin gently grabbed for Padme's hand. Interestingly though, Padme pulled away. "How do you think the children are doing?"

Anakin stood up, holding his hand to his head, "Padme, the children are fine. If they spend enough time with Obi, they will end up like me. Obi will take good care of them."

"I know that Obi will take good care of them, but Leia likes to get in trouble. Don't you think we should warn Obi?" Padme still sat on couch when she said this.

"Obi will be fine. He is a great Jedi and a great father. In the mean time, do you want to go for a picnic," Anakin said calmly to the worried mother.

"I would like that very much."

"So, did you ever meet Palo?" Anakin questioned Padme.

"I wonder why you should ask," Padme said back. Anakin just shrugged his shoulders with a funny little look on his face. "Well, we did meet once after you had gone to train with Luke. Leia was 5 and just adored Palo and Palo adored her. Don't worry, all I could talk about was you and I think he got tired of that. But he still had the curly hair and made beautiful art. In fact, that one painting in the living room of Leia is by him. He just loved Leia. I showed him a picture of you, and he said that Leia looked so much like you. He also said that you are a lucky man. I actually think he was a bit jealous."

"I'm glad to know someone else is envious of what I have," Anakin told her and she kissed her on the cheek. "Do you remember the first time we sat in this very spot?"

"Of course I do! How could I forget?"

"You really thought that I was hurt, didn't you?"

"Well, you were pretty convincing. But you were the one who had to pull me down on top of you and roll down the hill!"

"You loved it though!"

"Okay, so I did, but that gives you no excuse!"

There was silence for a little bit before Anakin spoke up. "Nightingcross Blue," Anakin said nonchalantly.

"What?"

"You said that when you were little, you used to lay on the sand and guess what type of bird was singing. Like I said, it is a Nightingcross Blue singing."

"I can't believe you remembered that?"

"Of course I remembered! It was right before I said, 'I don't like sand; it's course and rough. Not like here though; here everything is soft and smooth.' And I kissed you," he paused for a second and looked away before continuing. "And then you pulled away, saying that you shouldn't have done that. When you said that, that hurt me so much. I thought that I would fail at everything. You hurt me so badly when you said that you couldn't love me. That hurt, Padme." He got up and started to walk towards some inkalopatas in the distance. Padme got up to follow him.

"But I was confused. Please don't walk away from me. I love you so much."

Anakin turned around quickly catching her by surprise and grabbed her shoulders and kissed her smack on the lips. He pulled back after a few seconds and looked at her deep in the eyes. They were only a matter of a few inches from each other, and he asked her in a deep voice, "What did you feel? Did you feel sparks of light and lust in your heart, or did you still feel like you shouldn't be kissing me?"

"That was the best, most remarkable kiss you have ever given me. It was as if we were one huge spark of fireworks shooting up into the air."

"That is exactly what I felt. I'm glad we haven't changed."

~.~.~Back in the living room, fire lit~.~.~

"Have you ever thought of where we would be if we hadn't spent that night together? Or even if we hadn't gotten married?"

"Everyday! I think about if we hadn't gotten married if I would have married Bail, if I would have still had twins.but then I think about my real life, and I'm glad that my life ended up like it did."

"Well, I was thinking, why don't we spend tonight as if we have been away from each other for twenty years and haven't seen each other whatsoever. Lets spend tonight as if it were the first night together."

This time, Padme made the first move.she took his hand and started to kiss it, slowly working up Anakin's arm. It felt so good to be kissed and kiss again. It had been such a long time. Soon, Anakin's shirt was off and Padme was leading him to the bedroom, but they didn't stay in the bedroom, Padme led him to something secret, something that only she knew of. She led Anakin to the roof left him up there while she hurried back down to her room to get one pillow and a blanket. By the time that she was back up on the roof, Anakin was on the other side of the roof, looking up at the sky, oblivious to the fact that she was up on the roof with him.
