Chapter 6 – Rise of the Empire
A/N: Please leave me a review, people; it'll absolutely make my day! I didn't get any reviews last chapter, and I'm not going to be one of those whiny writers who refuse to update if they don't get a certain number of reviews. But it would be nice to know I'm not wasting my time here. I do have a couple of question, though. For one, do the chapters need to be longer? It seems they might be a bit short, but it's hard for me to judge. Also, I know where this story is going and all, but if you have ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them!! Anyway, enough of me, on with the fic!
Obi-Wan had told her to come to the Council chambers, but when Padme was escorted in, only Mace Windu and Yoda, along with Obi-Wan, were there to greet her. She bowed to the 2 Masters before shooting Obi-Wan a quizzical look. Obi-Wan just shook his head at her.
"Senator Amidala," Yoda began. "Brought you here we have, because fear for your safety, we do."
"Can you tell us what happened when Anakin saw you after his meeting here?" said Windu, gently. Padme glanced at Obi-Wan before relating as much as she was able to of what had happened. Yoda listened with eyes closed, and when she finished he said, "Dangerous Skywalker is becoming...."
Then Windu said, "With your permission, Senator, we wish to set you up with an emergency comlink to contact one of us immediately should the need arise."
Padme quickly objected, "But he's my husband! He would never...!" At Yoda's pointed glance, she grew incensed. She opened her mouth to speak when Yoda spoke again, "How feel you, Senator?" A bit thrown off by the abrupt change in subject, she responded defensively, "I feel fine. Why are you asking?" His eyes closed, Yoda said softly, "Sense something I do. A vergence..." His eyes snapped open and fixing his gaze on Padme, he said, "Senator, with child you are." Padme's jaw dropped, and she had to fight the urge to start laughing. 'That's absurd!' she thought. As if sensing her thoughts, Yoda looked at her sternly but before he could speak, Obi-Wan jumped in, saying, "Senator, it might be wise if you sought medical attention, just to be safe." Padme wanted to argue, but one look at the faces around her and she knew it would be no use. Sighing, she said, "Fine. I'll let Obi-Wan know what I find out." With that, she turned on her heel and left.

Padme was numb. The Healer had just informed her that the results of the tests indicated she was pregnant. Her only thought was, 'What am I going to tell Anakin?'
