Changing times: Chapter 1
"What is your name?" asked the receptionist droid.
"Padm- er I mean Padmia, Padmia Antillies," replied Padmé
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes,"
The droid punched something in on the computer in front of it.
"Go to waiting room number 2, Dr. Warner will be with you shortly,"
"Thank you,"
She walked down a hallway until she came to a room with the number 2 on it. She entered the room and sat down.
'I hope this doctor can figure out what is wrong with me,' she thought to herself.
Just then, a tall, balding man entered the room, startling her.
"Mrs. Antillies?" he asked.
"No- er yes, yes, I'm Mrs. Antillies," she replied.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Warner, what seems to be wrong?"
"Well, every morning I throw up... I'm always getting lightheaded for no reason... And oddly enough I've gained some weight as well,"
Dr. Warner smiled knowingly. "We'll run a few tests, but I think I have an idea of what is going on,"
"Okay..." said Padmé uncertainly.
"It as just as I had suspected, there is nothing wrong with you," he paused. "You're Pregnant,"
His words washed over Padmé like a cold shower. She was pregnant? Her eyes widened in shock. She knew it would take a long time to get accustomed to that fact.
"This may cause some problems Ani," she whispered.
The doctor then spoke. "The baby is perfectly healthy, but the gender can not yet be determined,"
Padmé only nodded.
Once she got to her apartment on coruscant, Padmé plopped down on a chair to think. She had lied about her name since if she was seriously ill, she couldn't let anyone know about it. Now she was gladder than ever that she had lied. What would people think if they found out? She sighed and looked out the window at the zooming traffic. It would be only 5 standard hours until Anakin returned from a mission with Obi- Wan.
"How am I ever going to tell him?" she said aloud.
Over the past year, she and Anakin had kept their marriage a secret. It wouldn't remain a secret for long though. She sighed deeply; the thought of having a son or a daughter certainly hadn't set in with her yet.
The last time she had seen Anakin had been 5 months previously. She blushed at the thought of what they had done, but it had been just that which had caused this to happen. Then a scary thought came to her; Would Anakin be able to sense the baby? He would certainly sense her own emotions, but would he sense the baby's presence? He would probably be angered that they were even having a baby.
Padmé sat there for the next few hours in deep thought...
Suddenly, the apartment's door opened. She jumped in surprise, but then remembered it was Anakin! She ran up to him.
"Ani!" she said, forgetting any possible problem.
"Padmé!"
He pulled her close and kissed her passionately.
"I'm so glad your back," she said, once they had broke off.
He buried his face in her hair. "Me too," he murmured.
He kissed her softly, truly happy, but broke away abruptly.
"Padmé whats wrong?" he asked.
"Whats wrong?" she repeated frowning.
He smiled slightly, "You know I can feel your emotions... There is something wrong... What is it?"
She sighed for what seemed the billionth time that day. "Oh its nothing,"
Now was NOT the time to tell him!
'I'll tell him at dinner,' she thought
"Tell me what at dinner?" asked Anakin.
Padmé glared at him, "Ani, please don't read my thoughts,"
He grinned slyly at her, "Then don't think so strongly,"
Padmé laughed. "And how am I supposed to do-" she stopped mid sentence, a wave of sickness washed over her. She almost fell backward, but Anakin caught her with the force. He set her upright.
"Padmé whats wrong? Are you hurt or sick?" he asked concerned.
Padmé swallowed the lump that had been forming in her throat. Still in his embrace she said, "No, nothings wrong Ani, its just that I'm..." she trailed off.
"Padmé, are you pregnant?" he asked.
She only nodded.
Anakin's eyes widened. "Well, that's a relief he managed."
"You aren't angry?" she asked timidly.
He paused for a moment, in complete shock. "No, why would I be angry?"
Relief washed over Padmé, "I don't know,"
"So how long have you known?"
"Only a few hours,"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know, the doctor said it couldn't be determined yet. But Ani, how am I ever going to hide that I'm pregnant?" she asked, voicing her fears for the fist time.
Anakin looked thoughtful for a moment. "I don't know, but I promise you we'll come up with something," he said, kissing her forehead. "And besides, it could be worse,"
"How so?"
"We could be having twins..."
Time passed quickly. Though luckily for the two, Anakin didn't need to go on a mission for a while, but he did however, had to spend most of his time at the Jedi temple. Padmé, though she was now 6 months pregnant, was almost always in a meeting of some sort. One day, Bail Organa and Jar Jar Binks had to help her back to her apartment. Bail had been especially concerned.
Anakin had since came up with a plan to hid Padmé's pregnancy. In 2 months, when she would be 8 months pregnant, she would say that she had become very ill and take a few months "vacation" time and head to Naboo, where she could have their child and recover as best as possible. From there, they would admit to being married and hope for the best...
Anakin walked the halls of the Jedi temple alongside Obi-Wan-Kenobi. They had been called before the council to receive a new mission; Obi-Wan was more than ready for a new challenge. Anakin however, was not; he of course wanted to remain with Padmé, who would be leaving in only one week. He desperately wanted to see her off. She was currently forced to wear huge, oversized clothes to hide how large her stomach was getting.
"Anakin? Anakin?" asked Obi- Wan, waving a hand in front of his face.
Anakin shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Yes master?"
"Weren't you paying attention to what I said?"
"Sorry master, I was thinking of... something else,"
Obi-Wan sighed, Anakin had been losing himself more and more, he needed to keep his mind in the here and now. To make matters worse, Anakin had put a thick wall up so no Jedi could possibly read his thoughts. As they neared the doors, which lead to the council chambers, Obi-Wan spoke.
"Now Anakin, Don't make this a repeat of last time,"
"But master!"
Obi-Wan held up a halting hand.
Without another word, Obi-Wan and Anakin entered the council chamber. They both bowed respectfully.
"Sir Kenobi, Anakin," said Yoda nodding.
"You wished to speak with us masters,"
"Have a new mission for you, we do," said Yoda
"Yes, you are to go to Belvaine, it's a desolate planet, but we are aware of a darkness surrounding and radiating off its core," said Mace Windu.
"You must find what that darkness is and what is causing it," said Ki Adi Mundi.
"You will leave tomorrow," said Depa Billaba
Obi- Wan nodded, "Yes Masters, and may the force be with you,"
"May the force be with you," said Yoda.
