All You Mean To Me
By Aiko "Kitty" Skywalker
Epilogue"Humanity can never be destroyed, only hidden."
Exar Kun's grip loosened for a moment as Anakin's memories swept over him. He looked into Padmé's eyes and could swear that her eyes were cold and fully dilated. However inside he knew she was still there and that it wasn't too late...
No! Anakin Skywalker was dead. Only Kun remained.
But yet when the crying of Luke was heard, Anakin's memories came hauntingly into his mind.
No! He was Kun!
"Ani," Padmé whispered.
"No! I am Exar Kun!"
"Ani," she whispered again.
"No! I am Exar Kun!"
"I..." she whispered.
"No! Exar Kun!"
"Forgive..." her voice was forced and painful.
"I am..." Kun screamed at her tightening his grip.
"You." she finally whispered slipping into unconsciousness.
"Anakin." he whispered releasing her. He could feel Kun screaming inside of him but he didn't care.
Padmé's word had won.
Kneeling down beside her, Anakin pulled away the black cloth covering his mouth and nose. Then he reached down and felt for a pulse.
None.
Tears welled in his eyes. Padmé. Gone. She couldn't be gone. Anakin had come back to her. He needed her. He loved her.
Leaning down, Anakin captured her cold lips within his own.
They tasted like honey.
At that moment Anakin realized all that she meant to him. She was everything.
Tears continued to pool down his face. Anakin stared up at Yoda who still held his son. Yoda nodded his head at Anakin as though it were approval for what Anakin was going to do next.
Anakin turned back to Padmé. Once again he leaned down and captured her lips within his own.
But to his surprise they were warmer than before.
Anakin leaned against the doorway of the room that Padmé's doctor had put her in. After Anakin had discovered that Padmé was alive, they had headed to a planet known as Xavier, where the secret base of the Old Republic loyalists was situated, there Padmé had received the medical attention she had needed.
However, Padmé somehow had fallen into a coma. It didn't make sense to the doctors, but to Anakin it did.
The battle against Kun was the final straw on her tired mind. He had put her through so much.
But he would make it up to her.
"Mé, he whispered softly. "Mé please come back, I need you." Anakin knelt beside her bed and lightly held her hand. "I would do anything for you. I even went back to the Jedi order." Softly, he caressed her small hand within his own.
"And our children need you. Oh Mé, I love them so much. But I can't be the father they need without you!" Anakin removed his eyes from her for a moment to look at the large crib at the other side of the room.
"Mé you're everything to me. You are the universe! You are the planets, the moons and the stars, there's no limit to the love I have for you. That's all you mean to me."
Anakin turned his gaze to the floor. It all seemed so hopeless.
But then came the gentle squeeze of Padmé's hand that Anakin loved so much.
At that moment Anakin knew for the first time in almost a year, that everything was going to be all right.
THE END
That's it for now. All right, I know it was short. But I have a habit of making ending short but sweet. Its like my English teacher says, "Write me a dinosaur. It starts skinny at the beginning (the head), becomes thicker at the middle and then skinny again at the end (the tail)."
Also I have a habit of with my very long multi chapter pieces writing a moral at the very end. So here it is. Humanity can never be destroyed, only hidden.
