CHAPTER 6
Anakin was truly proving to the doctors, Obi-Wan and Padmé that he was the Chosen One, blessed by the Force. His memory was returning quickly; only a few weeks had passed and he remembered Obi-Wan, most of the Jedi and most of his life ranging from when he was six to before he returned to the Dark Side. He remembered nothing of Palpatine or turning, which for now was good.
Padmé was the happiest woman alive, but not completely yet. Something was still missing, both for her and Anakin. Even though he was remembering, he did not know all that he needed to. She new she had to approach Obi-Wan.
"You sent for me, Senator?" Obi-Wan said coming into the living room of Padmé's hotel room. Padmé looked up from Luke who was lying down on the couch asleep while Leia lay quietly on the floor.
"Yes Obi-Wan, please sit down," she said and the Jedi did as he was told. Padmé stared at him. "I want to take them to see him." Obi-Wan blinked.
"What?" he asked. "You mean take Luke and Leia to see Anakin?" Padmé nodded. "May I ask why?"
"I think it's time," Padmé simply stated. "He's remembered so much and I think he needs to know. I want him to know." Obi-Wan sighed.
"Don't you think it's too soon, Padmé?" he questioned. "I mean, all this is happening so quickly for him. He needs time to digest it all."
"Obi-Wan, he's not learning anything new, he's only remembering. To truly integrate him back into his old life as well as mine, he needs to know." Padme picked Luke up simply to hold him. "And besides," she continued. "Anakin is a father now. We cannot hide this fact from him until the doctors send him home. He needs to get used to the idea. I don't want him to walk into his home and be surprised. I want him to be prepared."
Obi-Wan was silent. He knew she was right. When it came to Anakin she was always right. The clinic was going to begin planning on releasing Anakin and this was really the last big step he had to take to full recovery. This was something that had to be done, for Anakin. And, Luke and Leia needed to know their father. Finally, the Jedi nodded.
"We can go in tomorrow morning," he said. Padmé let loose a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Obi-Wan," she said smiling. She put Luke down next to Leia since he had woken up. Luke looked up at his mother and Padmé smiled down at her son. He had his father's eyes, and soon he would know. Padmé looked up at Obi-Wan and smiled. "Now, lunch is ready, want some?" she asked. Obi-Wan nodded.
"I'd like that. Thank you."
Thank you guys for all the reviews. I'm sorry this chapter was so short, but next update will be when Anakin meets Luke and Leia, so it will be a long chapter. Also, he hears about his turn to the Dark Side. So look for that one and until then R & R! Love you all:
