A/N - another short chapter. YAY! I don't own any of the characters; they
are all a figment of George Lucas's imagination. Haha. Here's chapter 2.
Padmé anxiously awaited the arrival of the Jedi starship carrying her husband. Oh, how she missed him! They had chatted through holograms secretly, but it was dangerous, because if any one found out.Padmé didn't want to think of the consequences. They had kept their marriage a secret for a year now and she didn't want Anakin expelled from the Jedi Order. It was hard keeping a secret like that to herself so, with Anakin's consent, she told her sister, Sola, her mother, Jobal, and her father, Ruwee. Eventually, her nieces Ryoo and Pooja would know, but they were too young to be trusted with a secret like this.

"Captain," Anakin said, "how much longer until we land?"
"Another hour or so," came the depressing reply.
An hour?! Anakin thought. He wanted to be in Naboo now, standing beside his beloved Padmé, watching the ripples in the water from the porch on which they were married one year ago. Anakin sat down in a big comfy chair and drifted off to sleep. He dreamed about Padmé playing with her nieces in her parents yard. And suddenly, they were gone. Padmé was left standing there with out a clue as to where they went. She looked worried and began to search for them. "Anakin!" she screamed. "Where are they?"
"Master Anakin, please wake up!" Anakin stirred a bit. He opened his eyes, just a bit. It was C3PO, the droid he had built as a little boy. "Master Annie, the captain says we will be there shortly. He presumes it will take five more minutes.
"Thanks, Threepio," Anakin replied, and he jumped up to go get ready.
Five minutes later, he could see the green planet of Naboo through the window. As they neared the docking bridge, he could see Padmé standing there, looking toward the sky.

Padmé's heart nearly skipped a beat when she finally saw the starship. She even thought she saw Anakin peeking out through the window. The ship came to a slow stop and landed gently on the platform. The ramp had barely began to lower when she saw Anakin run down and jump off towards her, using the force to extend his jump. He landed about fifteen feet away from her and ran the rest of the way. When he got to her, he embraced her in a tight hug, grabbed his bag and said "Let's get outta her." They walked off toward the palace, with Threepio trailing behind, chatting with Artoo.
Once in her office, Padmé grabbed a few things, including holodisks and paperwork, shoved them into her bag and headed out to the spot where Paddy Accu had parked the water speeder that would take them home.
