-OK well that notice seemed pointless to put in now. My school got closed because of ice so I have time to finish and fix up everything on this story now.

-I think this chapter is going to be rather long because I want to be and well I feel you need a long because I have put you through so many burdens with waiting and I am sorry. I hope enjoy this chapter.

-Also I may be trying some new ways of writing the story because I want to put in Anakin's point of view to since it was in just Padme's

Chapter 7: Luke's Disappearance

Padme cleared her throat. "Coming just a minute." She looked intently into Anakin's eyes but caught herself before he noticed and hurried over to the door. She typed in the code and the door slid open, and Obi-Wan, Sabe, Luke and Leia stood before her. She stared for a moment trying to recollect on what she thought was missing when she realized. 'Oh.' Mara was on fighting to get down form Sabe's arms like she normally would. "Your earlier than I thought you would be come in."

She moved out of the way to let them in. "Please sit down I will go and fix something to drink."

Sabe walked in and sat down on the soft couch of Padme's living room, while Obi-Wan stayed standing. "I am fine Padme you have no need to fix me anything, but thank you all the same" answered Obi-Wan.

"Alright well I will be in kitchen make yourselves at home. Luke, Leia would you like to help me?" They both nodded to her and the three went into the kitchen.

"So Auron, did you find that work Padme said you were looking for with the Lars'?" asked Sabe.

"No, no miss I unfortunately was not able to take the job and I will looking for something in Mos Espa in the morning." Anakin answered. 'Not another interrogation . . . you can only lie so much damit . . .' He kept his eyes on Sabe but they would drift to Obi-Wan who just almost hovering over his wife like a buzzard protecting its meal.

"Oh forgive, this is my husband Obi-Wan. He works in the Junk Yard; maybe he could find you a job there." Sabe answered him.

Anakin had walked over to Obi-Wan now and extended his hand as a kind jester just like any normal human would. Obi-Wan stared at him for a moment then finally extended his hand and greeted him as well. Anakin could since that he felt something but was not sure about it, and he hoped to god that he would just let it pass and go on with his business.

"My wife tells me you grew up here. Where if you don't mind me asking?" he looked at him suppose but only so that Anakin could tell he was.

"The slave quarters? Is that a bad thing? Do you not think I could take care of Padme?" he tried to give the best-annoyed face he could but not to show how angry he really was for hearing his old mentor asking him such a redundant question.

"No, of coarse not he did not mean that in such a horrible tone" Anakin noticed Sabe elbow him in the side for saying that.

"WHAT! It as just a question!" Obi-Wan held his side now.

Then just ask Sabe was about to ask him another question Padme and the children walked in. Luke and Leia both held small cups of their own as Padme walked in with a try of drinks.

A few hours had passed. Sabe had convinced Obi-Wan to stay and have dinner with them and their dishes were in the sink as they ate their dessert. Once finished Luke and Leia had both fallen asleep. Luke in one of the chairs and Leia had laid her head in Padme's lap. Sabe and Obi-Wan had taken that as a hint and got up, helped clean the dishes, and straiten what they could. After Padme gave a kiss on the cheek to both and Anakin shook hands again the two left. Anakin and Padme picked up Luke and Leia and took them to their separate rooms. Padme gave them both a kiss on the forehead good night and tucked them in.

Anakin stood in the back and watched this; just now starting to realize all the great things he had missed leaving her for the dark side. She had turned to leave the room and he fallowed her but she did not go to the den, living room or kitchen but she went into her bedroom. She started to undress. Anakin was now very unconvertible and confused on what was going on in the room.

"Please its not like you have not seen me naked so why would it matter?"

"Um. . . yeah I guess your right. . ."

She lay on the bed what she was going to wear to sleep, Anakin looked over to see what it was. It was the long silk black slip he had bought her on their two-year anniversary. He could not think of these things, they clouded his mind. He had a mission to bring his children and wife to the dark side with him and he could not allow anything this to happen, not now. He stood stunned she was now standing there in front of him topless with not a care in the world like this was normal. 'Ok well it would have been normal what. . . five years ago. . . but not now not now' he thought. "Are you sure you want to be doing that with me in front of you?"

"I might as well since you will be sleeping in my bed with me."

"What?!" Anakin was stunned he just hear what she said.

"Yes that's right, Sabe seems to think that we are a couple which are still technically but she thinks you someone else that is helping me move on away form you and the only way to keep that secret. Is to play along do you understand what I am trying to explain to you?"

"Yes, I do I'm not an idiot you know."

"Well you could have surprised me." She was now in her nightgown and climbed into the covers.

She just kept staring at him now. He was feeling even more uncomfortable now. 'Why am I acting like this. . . has seen me naked also. . . but the predicament . . . damit why does she ways have to be right!' He removed his tunic now laying it on a near by chair and sat in down on the bed to take off his boots and laid them at the bottom of the chair.

She was staring at him still but not as she was before. It was more with sympathy now. When he had turned his back she saw the many lightsaber and blaster scars. 'Oh god. . . what have you done to your self." Moving more to the right she let Anakin into the bed.

Both turned their backs and fell asleep.

-~-

"Luke!" yelled Padme from down in the kitchen. "Are you dressed your Uncle will be here soon." As she said this she could hear the bounding of feet across the floor; then Luke and Leia both ran in and sat in their chairs.

"HA! I beat you!" said Luke looking all proud.

"Nu-uh! You were way behind me," answered Leia in a snooty tone.

Padme set two plates of food on the table and sat between them as she always did. "What have I told you about playing tag in the house you do that outside."

"But he said we could mommy." Leia contradicted as Anakin walked into the room.

She looked up at Anakin who was smiling trying to hold back a laugh she smiled back at him. "I try not to have my children act like you did when you were a child."

"Then they must not have any fun," he answered back sitting in a chair and eating.

A loud chime could be heard form the front door and Padme removed herself form the chair and walked to the door.

"Do you like my mommy?" asked Luke all of the sudden.

"Um. . . I guess you could say that." Anakin answered nervous.

"I think my mommy likes you," he said back before getting food thrown at him by Leia. She was glaring at him not saying anything. "What did I do!"

"You know she doesn't! Aunt Sabe said so! She won't like anyone but DADDY!" Leia was about to cry.

Anakin hurried over to her side and bent down to her side so they were eye level. "Shh. . . don't cry I'm sure you mom wont love anyone as much as she loved your father its ok. Don't cry." Leia nodded and jumped down form her chair with her plate. "Here let me take this for you." He took the plate along with the others.

"Luke, Uncle Owen is here to take you to his farm." Padme yelled from the living room.

"Kay!" Luke ran in.

"Now you be good for your uncle do you understand me?" Luke nodded.

"He always is" laughed Owen. He still had his sandy hair but he had become even more built than their first meeting, and both Beru and him took in Luke and Leia just like if they were their own children since Beru was not able to carry any.

Padme put on Luke's small cloak for him. "Make sure he wears the hood if it starts to sandstorm it took hours to wash all the sand out of his hair last time."

"I will don't worry." He answered with a laugh. "Hey Luke you want to ride my swoop bike?"

Luke nodded excively with excitement.

"Okay then lets get a move on." He picked up Luke walked out the door.

"Who was that?" asked Anakin coming into the room with Leia in his arms.

"That was Owen . . ." she was speechless. There was a site in front of her she had dreamed of for years.

Anakin set Leia on the ground and looked at her. "You sure you want to come?"

She nodded and went over to get her cloak. "Mommy? Can I come; he said I was smarter than him and that I could choose a good job for him. Can I?"

"Of course honey. How long would you like to look?" She looked over at Anakin.

"How long will Luke be gone?" he asked.

"Normally it's three or four hours."

"Alright three and a half is fine with me. Leia we can take you to this really nice shop with good sweets that is if she still holds what I always at when I was your age." He smiled at her.

"Really?!" she was excited.

For the past three hours Anakin, Padme and Leia walked about Mos Espa in search for the job Anakin was going to have. They had found a few vacancies in places. One was a junkyard assent and when they spoke with the owner they found out the junk was in the sewage area and Leia had said it was to smelly for him so they moved on to the next job and found it to be the new mechanic for the arena so he was going to talk to the one in charge the next day. Anakin took Leia in the old bar and ordered her a small glass of a sweet red liquid.

Padme, Anakin and Liea walked back to the house. Leia clung to her mother's chest as she held her.

When they reached the door it slide open with no effort, but Padme made no notice to it because that just meant Luke was home. She walked in setting Leia down. "Luke, Were home!" she yelled expecting to hear feet running from some direction in the house to where hey were, but there was nothing. "Luke?" She walked into the kitchen and took a quick look but came back out with no luck.

"Are you sure he is home?" asked Anakin.

"Yes I am positive his pack is on the kitchen table" she answered pointed to a dark navy blue pack.

"How did he get that?" He stared at it in amazement it was the same pack he wore when he had left Tatooine to become a Jedi.

"Obi-Wan gave it to him, and told him it was his father. He was so excited when he found that out. He never goes anywhere with out it" she answered quickly before she went up the stair.

Anakin just stared down at the at the small pack lightly running his fingers along the seams seeing it again brought back the wonderful memory of his mother and meeting Padme for the first time. Just as his memories were coming back he heard the clammier of steps down the stairs and Padme ran in and out the back door and fell to her knees.

"Padme!" he ran out to find everything in the back thrown about. Boxes that had been piled in neet stacks were now opened and on the ground scattered, but that was not what had caught his eye. In the sand only few feet way form where Padme was sitting, were foot prints of Tuskin Raiders and over in a corner he could see by the way the sand sat there was a struggle. That must have been where they had grabbed Luke.

They must have come to steal some food and when Luke came out from seeing them they panicked and took him and by the look of it he would not let them take him so easily so they must have hurt him in some way because there were drag marks leading out into the desert.

He bent down to her and wiped away her tears. "I will bring him back. I promise." He kissed her forehead and mounted the swoop bike under a small hatch.

Anakin had driven across the desert for a while now when he saw smoke from a near by camp. He parked the bike a mile away and crept into the camp. Using his Jedi senses he locked Luke and hurried over to the domed tent where he lay.

Igniting his red blade he cut a small hole and walked in. He looked around for a moment when saw his lifeless body in the corner. Hurrying over to him he checked Luke's pulse and it was still there. Luke had many bruises on his small body and right then Anacin realized how dialect the boy really was. "I'm going to get you out of here Luke don't worry."

A small moan came form his lips but he could not turn his body. At the site of this the same overwhelming surge of anger came over him just as it had when his mother, his son's grandmother, had died in his arms in a tent just like this. He rose and went to the opening.

The camp of Tuskins all turned to him in surprised. Anakin's face was filled with anger something that would not leave until he had finished his dead and he would not feel sorry for himself after he killed them all. "You killed my mother, but I wont let you kill my son!"

He lunged towards them making think clean slices through every Tuskins body, till every lay on the ground in half or dismembered in some way or form.

After checking every area of the camp he hurried back into the small domed tent to Luke almost lifeless body and lifted him from the ground. "Come on Luke everything is going to be ok. Hold on Luke."

"I. . .I. . .I want my mommy..." Luke said clinging to Anakin's chest.

"Shhh. . .Daddy is here Luke. Everything is going to be ok. Daddy is here." He rose from his crouched position and carried his son back to the swoop bike and sped off back to his wife.

Luke held onto his chest as the wind rushed across his face
