"Please I'll do anything!" said Padmé.
Seeing Padmé's obvious distress, Yoda spoke. "If you want, instead of the council, Obi- Wan, find homes for these children he will,"
Padmé nodded weakly. At least she could have some say in where they would go...
~*~
The news about Padmé and Anakin's marriage spread quickly. The news of Padmé's pregnancy spread even quicker...
One week later...
Obi- Wan pressed the door buzzer on Padmé's door.
Seconds later, she opened it.
"Hi," she said.
"I've came up with were Leia can live..." said Obi- Wan.
Padmé's face fell. "Where?"
"Do you know Senator Bail Organa? He is the head of the royal house of Alderaan..."
Padmé nodded. "He is somewhat of a friend of mine,"
"I've asked him if he would allow her to live with him... I think it would be suitable... Do you agree?"
"I don't want to give them up! I love them so much, its like loosing Ani for the second time..." she sighed. "But I guess Alderaan would be an okay home for her..."
"You should remain here... Although since Alderann is well protected, you may be able to visit her occasionally... Do you have any idea of where Luke should go?"
Padmé spoke hesitantly, "What about Ani's half brother, and step father, Owen and Cliegg Lars..."
"That would be acceptable... We will travel to Tatooine with Luke to ask them... But first, you must give Leia to Bail..." said Obi- Wan.
Padmé sighed and nodded.
~*~
The ship neared Alderaan.
"Are you going to be alright, Senator?"
Padmé held Leia tightly, "I guess... And please call me Padmé... You're a good friend Obi- Wan."
Obi- Wan managed a small smile "We will get through Anakin's leaving together,"
"I'll try to get through this,"
"Do or do not, there is no try," said Obi- Wan, quoting Yoda.
~*~
Padmé, who was still holding Leia, and now Luke as well, exited the ship. Obi- Wan followed close behind.
Bail stood next to a woman with long blond hair and bright blue eyes. The two approached Obi- Wan and Padmé.
"Obi- Wan, Padmé I'm so about Skywalker," he said sincerely, yet failing to hide his anger at Anakin.
Obi- Wan grimaced and sadness crossed over Padmé's face at the mention of Anakin's name.
"Thank you," said Obi- Wan. "He is greatly missed by both of us,"
"I know how terrible you both must feel... My name is Ambre, Bail and I have been friends for many years..." she trailed off.
"And to make Leia's life more normal, we're getting married..." finished Bail.
Padmé felt jealously swell inside her. Leia would know Ambre as her mother, not herself. "I'm grateful,"
Obi- Wan, sensing Padmé's loss for words, spoke, "When Leia gets older, she will have visions and will show the signs of a Jedi. She will likely move things with the force too. Be very careful, she must NEVER use these powers out of anger,"
Bail and Ambre nodded.
Padmé hugged Leia. She kissed her forehead. "I'm so sorry, Leia, I love you... You'll have a good life here," she whispered.
She walked over to Bail and Ambre, handing Leia to them. "Take good care of her,"
Bail put his hand on her shoulder, "We will,"
Padmé nodded, about to cry.
~*~
Padmé sat, silently crying. She and Obi- Wan were now flying to Tatooine. It would be best to get this over now, rather than later. If Cliegg and Owen said yes, anyways.
She wiped her tears away. She would be strong of her children. Luke and Leia needed protection for, hard as it was to believe, Anakin.
Obi- Wan came into the passenger area. "I know this is tough for you... Are you alright?"
"I will be... I loved him so much, Obi- Wan... And I still do... I just can't believe I have to give my children up just to protect them from him,"
Obi- Wan nodded. He and Padmé had slowly formed a friendship over the loss of Anakin. "He was my best friend... You and I are in just as much danger as Luke and Leia, except neither of us are vulnerable to the dark side or their cause..."
Padmé sighed. She looked down and Luke. "I'm never going to see Luke again am I?"
"I don't know... His future is clouded... So is Leia's... I sense that their futures all depend on... Something..."
~*~
The ship touched down on Tatooine in a spaceport in Mos E.
Again, Padmé exited the ship, this time, with only one child. Obi- Wan followed her.
"Do you know where their home is?" asked Obi- Wan.
Padmé looked thoughtful for a moment. "I think I remember... The farm is around here... Somewhere..."
"Why don't we ask someone?" said Obi- Wan.
Padmé nodded.
Obi- Wan walked up to a small fruit stand. "Excuse me," he said to the woman who was running it, "Do you know where the Lars's moisture farm is?"
"Oh, I know Owen, yeah, he lives a little ways away from here..." she said, pointing to the horizon.
"Thank you," said Obi- Wan.
He went back over to Padmé, "She said it's over there..."
Padmé nodded and waved her hand for a transport to come over to them.
"Can you please take us to the Lars's moisture farm?" she asked.
The driver nodded. "If you'll point where it is,"
~*~
Obi- Wan, Padmé and Luke soon arrived at the moisture farm.
Padmé approached the dome shaped door. "Owen? Cliegg?" she called.
Beru, Owens's girlfriend, came from nearby.
"Padmé?" She said. "Is that you?"
Padmé smiled slightly, "Yes... Hello Beru,"
"What brings you here?"
Padmé sighed, "Its a long story... I'll explain later... This is Obi- Wan Kenobi, by the way,"
"Hello," said Beru.
"Are Owen and Cliegg here?" She asked.
"Just Owen... He and I are now married," said Beru, smiling brightly, "But Cliegg has passed on,"
"I'm so sorry," said Padmé.
Just then, Owen came from around the corner. "Beru?"
"Owen! Padmé has come back," said Beru.
Owen looked surprised. "Hello again Padmé,"
"Hi Owen,"
"Why don't we go inside?" said Beru.
~*~
Now, sitting around the Lars's table, Padmé spoke, "Anakin and I got married not long after we came here... I soon became pregnant, with twins... Anakin believes I have one child..."
"And he has since turned to the dark side of the force," said Obi- Wan.
"Luke and Leia, my children, need to be protected from Anakin," said Padmé, sadness showing on her face. "And to protect them, I must give them up,"
"Leia has already been given to another home, she is safe there..." said Obi- Wan.
"But Luke, is still in need of one, I was wondering, would you like to take him?"
"Of course," said Beru, kindly.
Owen shot her a glare, "I don't know..."
"I promise we will take great care of him, Padmé," said Beru.
"Thank you," said Padmé.
"Do you need to stay here for the night?" asked Beru.
"It is getting late..." said Padmé, "But I don't want to trouble you,"
"You won't be," said Beru.
~*~
The next morning, Beru awoke early to find Owen and Obi- Wan already awake. She peeked in Padmé's room, to see her fast asleep, Luke in her arms.
She felt so sorry for her, loosing her lover and children all at once, Beru didn't know what she would do if that were to happen to her...
Padmé awoke soon after. Today would be the day she had to give Luke up. She sighed and forced herself up. She looked at her son; he resembled Anakin in so many ways. She was so thankful for how kind Beru and Bail had been about raising her children. She was still grief stricken though She picked up Luke, who was still asleep and walked out of her room.
Obi- Wan, Beru, and Owen, were seated at the kitchen table, talking. She paused at the doorway to listen.
"... So be very careful..." she heard Obi- Wan say.
"We will," said Beru. "Will you be staying another day, or are you leaving today?"
"We will leave once Padmé is awake," answered Obi- Wan.
Padmé sighed and waked around the corner. "Good morning,"
"Good morning," replied Beru.
"Hello," said Obi- Wan.
Owen, remained silent...
Obi- Wan and Padmé left the farm soon after.
"Goodbye, Luke... I will always you," Padmé said as she handed Luke to Beru. "Thank you," she whispered to Owen and Beru.
~*~
Obi- Wan and Padmé cruised through hyperspace back to Coruscant. It would be a long time before Padmé would see either of her children again...
