A/N: Sorry this update took me so long. Mostly because I really don't know how to go on with the plot. Thank you for all the encouraging reviews. Without them there wouldn't be a second chapter at all.

Forbidden Desires Chapter 2

"I can feel him…inside my head. Amidala pressed both of her hands fearfully against her temples.

"No. Don't do this to me…No!" Padmé's face paled.

"He has found me." Just a simple statement, but her brown eyes were a mirror of her inner trouble. She had always wanted to tell him the truth sooner or later, but later had always seemed to be the better option. Maybe Obi-Wan had been correct right from the beginning: The whole marriage was a grave mistake. And now she had to pay the bill.

"Bail I must leave you."

"What? Why?" Bail Organa seemed to loose himself into total confusion.

"Leave me?…But Padmé, darling, I…I"

Padmé jumped out of their bed and started changing in a hurry. Bail, still looking like a hurt animal, watched her packing some suitcases.

Suddenly she called for Dormé, her trusted handmaiden.

"Mylady." She asked formally, while trying to make sense of the unusual picture before her.

"Please Dormé make sure that Leia's suitcases are packet immediately and tell Captain Pakana that I'll need him on board of the Queen of Naboo within the next 20 Minutes."

Dormé looked at her Queen unbelievingly. "You are leaving Alderaan, Mylady?"

"Yes, Dormé, but nobody must know about it."

"I understand. May I wake the princess?"

Padmé shock her head. "No thank you Dormé. I'll do this better by myself."

"Goodbye my queen." Padmé smiled at the handmaiden and pulled her into a huge. "Take care of you."

As soon as Dormé left their bedroom Bail jumped up.

"Padmé, I love you far too much to force you to stay, but you won't take our daughter with you!"

"You don't understand. I'm going because of Leia." She told him in a voice, which wouldn't tolerate any further discussions, but Bail made his way between Padmé and the door.

"You're right I don't understand! And because of this I will not watch the two of you leaving just like that! Amidala! This is crazy…it was a nightmare and noting more."

Padmé Amidala started crying again. "Oh Bail, please let us go. The truth would only cause you pain and suffer."

"I don't care about my feelings anymore Amidala, because if I let you go on hiding things from me, like you've obivously done before, there won't be any feelings left you could hurt."

Padmé sat down on her suitcase still soaping.

"You aren't Leia's father…I'm sorry…I" Now the spell was broken and there was no holding back for the tears rolling down her checks like a waterfall.

Bail's little world broke into peaces. He had always known that he loved her more, but as long as there was Leia, their daughter, there had been a chance that one day she would realize just how much she meant to him and maybe, one time, she would have loved him back, but now all his hopes and dreams had disappear with a single strike.

"Who?" He asked still shocked, but also angry and hurt at the same time.

"Is it him you're running from? As you agreed to marry me? And is it him you're running from now?"

Padmé nodded.

"Well, darling, now you will not run. Because now you are my wife…Damnit!…At leased it's not your holy Anakin, because he is dead and buried … and after all you told me about your Jedi you wouldn't run from him at all, would you?"

Padmé smiled bitterly. Life could be so cruel. But Bail was right. Anakin died a long time ago, only she wasn't able to admit that to herself for a far too long time.

"Well you're right, Bail. Leia's father is quite powerful and I'm afraid he wouldn't be very happy if he finds out that I had his child and married you. So it's also in your interest that he'll never find out about this."

"He was no clue about her?" Bail asked scared.

"No, I'm sure about that. But he will as soon as he sees her. That's why I must leave. You may not understand this now, but one day Leia could be the last hope for this galaxy. One day she will have the strange to change things. I can feel it with every feber of my being. Can't you?"

Bail looked doubtful at his wife. "Padmé, she's just a child. I honestly think you overrate this situation. Leia is my daughter. The princess of Alderaan. Only the two of us know about her true parentage and as long as none else is aware of this fact, even her own father can't recognize her! The whole thought is ridicules!"

"He can feel it, Bail! Just like I can feel that he's searching for me! It's the only way!"

"Who is he? Some kind of Jedi like your first husband?"

Padmé's face was filled with agony. "Sort of."

"Padmé you don't have to go. I love you. I raised Leia and to me she will always be my little angel. If you feared my reaction, then you should know it by now. I love you. I always will. I will protect you. Both of you."

Padmé stood up again, more frustrated than she'd ever been in her life . "You can't protect us! None can! He will  take her just like this! " She snipped with her fingers.

"None would dare touching a princess of the house of Alderaan." Padmé laughed unimpressed.

"You are a bit too sure about this Bail, don't you think? You don't know what you get yourself involved with. He always gets what he wants. You just don't have the power to protect us Bail!"

Bail made a step back.

"Who is this man I obviosly can't be compared with? Please Padmé…I have a right to know."

Padmé Amidala closed her eyes. Yes he had a right to know, even if it meant to put him into grave danger.

"Leia's father… is Lord Darth Vader."

To be continued!

A/N: Nice Cliff-hanger, don't you think ;o) Hope next time I won't take THAT long before I'll update the next chapter. Just review. I WANT reviews. *youdontknowthepowerofthedarkside-okjustjoking*
