Obi-Wan knew Padmé would always love him, just as he would always love her. But she had to live a normal life. She married Anakin, even though her heart would always lie with Obi-Wan. He was there to be her shoulder to cry on when Anakin turned to the dark side. He was there to care for her children, and there to hide them from the evil Darth Vader. He took Leia to live with his friend Bail Organa on Alderaan and Luke went to the Lars homestead on Tatooine. Padmé went with him to both places and watched her children leave her. She cried on Obi-Wan's shoulder the entire voyage back to Couruscant. She visited Leia often, but could never make it back to Tatooine to see Luke. And Obi-Wan made sure the two children were always provided for after their mother tragically died at the hands of the Empire. At times, he felt like dying himself. But he knew he couldn't. He'd made a promise to Padmé. A promise that he would watch over her children. A promise he swore to never break. And when he finally met his end in the intimate battle with Darth Vader, he knew he'd see her again. He watched Luke as he fought to bring Darth Vader back to Anakin Skywalker. And once the Empire was finally destroyed for good, Luke watched as the spirits of Master Yoda, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Master Anakin Skywalker, and Lady Padmé Amidala stood, watching over him and his sister. As Obi-Wan looked over at Padmé, she smiled broadly at him. She glanced at Anakin in question, and, recognizing his nod of understanding, she let go of his hand and moved toward Obi-Wan. Anakin knew that Padmé had and always would love Obi-Wan, and he knew he couldn't stop her. Besides, he wanted her to be happy, and she was the happiest when she was with Obi-Wan.
"I have missed you so much, Obi-Wan."
"I've missed you too. I've waited a long time to see you again."
"Obi-Wan, I have never stopped loving you."
"Nor have I stopped loving you, Padmé."
As they embraced, Anakin smiled. Balance was restored in the universe, and things were exactly as they should be.
