I have a feeling people are going to be very mad with this one.......

**************************



He quickly zoomed pass stores and houses letting the Force guide him to the store name he saw in his vision. He traveled for what seemed like hours turning corners and almost hitting the townspeople. He finally took one last turn and stop almost suddenly. The name! But it wasn't a store. It was a nightclub. Why would they take her here? He thought to himself, making sure his shields were tight.

The moment he walked into the door he realized something was wrong. It was empty. As he walked further in a rush of visions came to him and he collapsed to the floor and balled up against the wall. He could see Padme. In the basement!! She was alive, barely, her wounds were bad, they were beating her, No! They were stabbing her. There were men all over her biting her and torturing her.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Anakin screamed as the vision stopped, "I have to help her!"

Anakin got up and ran around looking for the entrance to the basement. His mind was so flustered on what was happening to her he couldn't concentrate on finding the passageway. He stopped abruptly and inhaled deeply to call on the Force.

He found out where the passage way was and right when he started to make his way towards it, a strong wave of pain came over his body and he collapsed again, It was Padme's pain. It was getting worse. As he stood up once again he heard her voice scream for him to help her. But it was through telepathy. Know one but he could here her. She screamed again and Anakin sent waves of love and reassurance as he made his way down to find her. The emotions did little to help her, she was drawing to the end.

Just as she was about to give up hope she say Anakin walk in, his lightsaber bright and humming. He was here to save her. She screamed his name as the Bounty hunter once again charged for him. He turned quickly back to Padme for one last look before he fought the Hunter and he screamed at the sight he saw. The Bounty Hunters secondhand man knocked her hard across her head, knocking her out and leave a huge gash. He thought for sure she was dead, her body was already to weak to stand this, it must have killed her.

He saw her limp form fall heavily to the ground and the man that did it run for his life in fear. Anger washed over Anakin and he turned back to the Bounty Hunter letting his anger take full throttle and do all the moves. He is not going to get away with this!!!!!



*******************



Obi-Wan's visit with the Council was unproductive as he thought. Find her we must Obi-Wan He recalled Yoda speaking. He made his way to his quarters looking forward to sleeping, and he decided that he would go see Anakin in the Healers one last time before they set off to find Padme in the morning.

When he arrived at the Healer he knew something was wrong. He could feel it. He rushed to Anakin's room to be greeted by an empty bed and wires flung in every which way. He stood in disbelief. Anakin was not in the condition to be looking for her, especially if it involved a Sith or Bounty Hunter. Obi-Wan turned on his heels and rushed out of the Healers.



**************



Depa and Starr were just getting ready to retire when the door to the Quarters burst open and a panting Obi-Wan rushed to their side.

"Obi-Wan what is it?" Depa stated

"Obi-Wan?" Starr questioned as she sat him down on the sofa next to her.

Obi-Wan held his head in his hand as if having a horrible headache. Starr rubbed his back frightened for what he might have to say.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Obi-Wan screamed.

"What's wrong with him?" Starr questioned Depa as Obi-Wan startled to scream.

"He's getting a vision" Depa answered matter-of-factly.

The room went silent and Obi-Wan kept still in his position as the two women stood waiting fearing the worst. All of a sudden Obi-Wan snapped out of it and shot up from his seat.

"We have to leave, NOW!" He explained as he grabbed Starr by the arm and rushed for the door, "Anakin ran off, and he is in trouble, he needs our help."

The trio ran out of the room and made their way out to the town. Stopping as soon as they got out of the building. Obi-Wan inhaled deeply along with Depa and opened himself to the Force. They ran to the town heading for the place that Anakin was at, and the place where they knew Padme must be, and fighting for her life.



*************************

Anakin leaped towards the Bounty hunter with full thrust, his anger fuming through him. The Bounty hunter had no lightsaber or weapon this time so he would be easier to beat.

"What are you afraid you wont win without your lightsaber?" The Bounty Hunter tried to distract him.

Anakin backed off and switched off his lightsaber, he wanted fight this Bounty Hunter, to make him suffer. A lightsaber death would be to easy. He wanted him to pay for what he did to Padme. He held his lightsaber in his hand, he knew this fight would be short even without it. The Bounty Hunter was slowly and tired, his armor making him slower. Anakin had the advantage. He swung high and hit the Bounty Hunters neck making him twist around in a complete 180` degree move.

Mistake. Big Mistake. The bounty Hunter came back around and slammed his armor covered elbow straight into Anakin's ribs.

The smart move pushed Anakin to the ground with a loud thud and he laid motionless with his deactivated lightsaber still in hand. The Bounty Hunter waited a moment before he slowly kept up to the motionless form. He stood towering above Anakin's Weak muscles and he slowly pulled his blast up from his side. He aimed directing in between Anakin's tightly sealed eyes and bent down to press the blaster against his head.

When he bent down he missed the swift and quick motion of Anakin's hand fly up and press against his abdomen. Before the Bounty Hunter could even realized what was happening Anakin activated his light saber and it went searing into the metal armor and through hi body, coming out his back side.



He groaned loudly and Anakin pulled out and right when the Bounty Hunter slipped into unconscious and soon to death, he got one shot. The blaster now away form his head from the pain the Bounty hunter withheld was now aimed in no where in particular. The blaster fired of and shot Anakin direct in the stomach, causing him to scream in agony.

He slowly pulled himself to his feet and swung his lightsaber in a quick motion decapitating yet another enemy. Anakin dropped his lightsaber as he hit the deactivation button, sending it crashing to the ground.

He plummeted to the ground from dizziness and thought that he was soon to be the next death here. Her crawled across the moss filled basement floor to were Padme lie in a puddle of her own blood. He gently picked her up a wiped the teary that were still coming out of her eyes away.

He brought her tiny form and clung her close to his chest, no longer feeling her presence in the Force. Anakin drifted their bodies to the ground, ready to let go and be one with the Force when he felt a familiar touch on his face. His eyes fluttered open and he saw Padme soft elegant eyes fighting to stay open despite the swelling. She stroked his face and it brought energy back into him. He shot up and held her over his lap and whispered into her ear.

She stared at him for the longest time before she finally broke the seething silence.

"Anakin" She paused to see tears falling down his cheeks, "I love you Anakin, never forget that, never..." She trailed off her voice becoming weaker with each word. "Promise me Anakin."

Anakin's tears fell softly onto her chest making her blood soaked clothes smear marks across her skin as her cheat heaved for air. "I promise you Padme" he managed to get out between sobs. "But your...." His sob made him stutter as he continued, " Your going to be oo...Ok"

His hands drifted down to the cut across her abdomen. It's so deep He thought to himself.

He used all the strength he had in him to try to heal her wounds, to ease her pain, anything. As he said his promise to her once more she let her hand drift down his chest and he pulled her up for a last kiss. As he pulled her away he body went limp and her eyes drifted shut. Anakin went into shock seeing his beloved lying motionless in his arms. He set her down next to him and saw Obi-Wan, Depa, and Starr rush in as he slipped into unconsciousness. Obi-wan ran to help Anakin with his wounds and Depa went to help Padme. Starr stood completely struck by the devastation that laid before her very eyes.

"Padme is still alive...But barely, we need to get her to the Healers now!" Depa stated, "How's he?"

"He'll be fine... if she is" Obi-Wan stared down at Padme's body hi eyes landed directly on the cut across her abdomen, which was by far the worst, and the one that was killing her.

They picked up the two limp forms and found Anakin's speeder and transported them to the Healers. When they arrived Padme was getting even worse, she most likely wouldn't make it.

************

(2 Days Later)



Obi-Wan lay asleep in the chair of his Padawan's room in the Healers, with Starr laying in the comfort of his arms. Anakin watched them, quietly going over the last couple days. He was making a complete recovery, Padme however was a different story. She has slipped into a Coma, just barely on the edge of survival. The wound across her abdomen made her lose a lot of blood and her body was so weak.

He tried to visit her, but the Healer's wouldn't allow it, for the fear of her dying and breaking his heart. He has heard several things about her from passing Healers updating patient info and Healers changing shifts.

He needed to see her, send her love, be there for her. He slowly rose from his bed careful as to not wake up the sleeping couple on the other side of his room. He mad his way down the hall to where he knew Padme's room would be.

The critical condition unit. When he was sure Depa wasn't in the room he slowly pushed open the door to the sight of his angel. He walked over to her bed and sat down on the edge of it, right by her hip. He grabbed her hand a slowly rubbed it between his fingers. The shock of feeling came back to him once more, but it drifted away when he noticed the peaceful look upon his lovers face.

All the cuts on her face were almost gone and the only proof of the condition she was in that was left on her face was the big cut on her forehead from the blaster, and the paleness of her skin.

He sat watching her for minutes, just hoping that she would wake up and be with him. He stroked her cheek and when he looked up he was surprised to see a Healer watching him from the doorway.

"You are not supposed to be in here Anakin." The Healer stated as he walked towards the foot of Padme's bed.

Anakin put his head down in fright for her life, "I know, but I just had to see her" Anakin explained.

The Healer went to Anakin and gave him a slight pat on the shoulder, "I know what you me, but I have got some news for you, some good and some bad."

Anakin's eyes sprung with joy when he heard that there was good news, only to have his hope shattered by the Healer stating that there was bad news also.

"Continue.." Was all Anakin could say. A thousand thoughts raced in his mind once more.

"Anakin," The Healer paused. "Padme woke from her coma this morning, she is healing very well and should be released in about a week. Her body needs to get it's strength back from the loss of blood." The Healer was about to continue when he noticed the look of relief wash through Anakin's face and then be capture in yet another hardening look.

Now for the bad news. The Healer thought to himself, This is gunna crush him

"What's the bad news?" Anakin questioned in almost a whisper, beginning to get inpatient.

"Anakin," The Healer paused once again. "The wound across Padme' s abdomen.... Well it cut deep."

He waiting for a moment, for Anakin to catch his breath and then continued, "It took a lot for us to stop the bleeding, and she had some internal bleeding a top of that.. I'm afraid..."

The Healer was cut off by Anakin's short temper getting the best of him, "The point, Please Sir."

The Healer nodded in understanding and winced as he thought of his next words. "Anakin, Padme can no longer have children."

Anakin dropped to his knees on the floor, his hand still clinging tightly to her own, thought she was in deep sleep

The Healer continued with his explanation and Anakin listened though deeply in denial. "The wound cut deep and injured too much, there will be too much scarring for her to be able to carry a child, and f it did happen which isn't likely, she would only carry it for the most 3 months."

Anakin looked up at the Healer his eyes filled with tears and just said a simple thank you before stroking his wife face again, doing his best not to wake her.

"Anakin," The Healer added. Anakin turned towards the doorway as the Healer left to hear his last words. "Padme, already knows, I told her this morning and she asked if I could tell you. She said she wouldn't be able to find the words"

At the Healers last words he walked out and Anakin softly laid down next to Padme, hope that what just happened was a bad dream. Praying that it was.How? Why? But my vision? I saw two kids? Weren't they ours? Oh, Gods, how Padme must feel, I know how badly she wanted kids. This can't be happening. Those Sith will pay for what they did to us! This does not end here!... It can't!

His mind raced with a million of ideas of how to settle the Sith as he pulled his wife closer to his chest, careful of all her injuries, as he was overcome by sleep.
