Chapter 3

After a few hours or so of traveling from Corusant Kida arrived on Naboo once more, this time for more that just a visit. When she landed Kida got onto a speeder she rented and headed for Padmé's sister's house where Padmé was living. When she arrived at the house she was greeted by Sola, Padmé's sister who said, "Kidakakash! Welcome, Padmé is inside waiting for you."

Kida smiled and as she got off of the speeder she said, "Thanks Sola, and how is she doing?" Sola smiled grimly and replied, "She's doing fine so far." Kida nodded and said, "That's good to hear. Will you tell Padmé that I've arrived while I put my vehicle by the house?" Sola smiled brightly and nodded as she said, "Sure. She'll be pleased to hear it." As Kida took care of the speeder Sola left to talk to Padmé and a few minutes later she went inside to where Padmé was resting.

When Padmé saw her she waved her in and said, "Kida! It's wonderful to see you again!" She smiled and as she went to sit down in a nearby chair she said, "It's good to see you too Padmé. How are you feeling?" Padmé sighed and smiled wanly as she replied, "I'm feeling as fine as any woman who's carrying twins and who's husband is turning evil can feel. Kida, you don't realize that the only thing that's holding my spirits and hope alive is knowing that you'll be here when it's time and that you'll be protecting them when I can't."

With a slight look of worry and a hint of anticipation, Kida said, "Padmé, don't say that. Things will be fine, you'll see. I've recently seen more of the future and I foresee that we will be connected in more ways than me watching over your children." Curious, Padmé asked, "How will that be?"

Kida smiled happily as she said, "I've seen that I too will have twins—a boy and a girl. My daughter's name will be Mara-Jade and she will become your son's, Luke's, wife." Excitedly, Padmé clapped her hands and squealed, "Really? Why that's wonderful, Kida! Tell me everything!" for the rest of the afternoon, Kida and Padmé talked about the futures of their unborn children.

A month later found Padmé drying a few leftover dishes from a late breakfast when she suddenly grabbed her bulging stomach in pain, letting the plate she was drying crash to the ground. As she lowered to the ground to try and relieve the stress she cried out for Kida and Sola. A moment later they rushed in and Kida said, "Padmé?! Are you all right?" As Padmé gasped in pain she managed to reply, "I...I think it's time."

A minute later she gasped again as another contraction hit and Kida nodded in silent agreement to Sola as she said, "Let's get you in bed then." They then helped her off the floor, into her room, and onto her bed. A couple minutes later Padmé once again cried out in pain as yet another contraction hit. Kida grabbed Padmé's hand and said encouragingly, "Breath Padmé, breath. In and out, in and out, that a girl. Don't worry Padmé, I'll be here watching over and helping you the whole time."

Padmé smiled wearily and replied, "Thank you, Kida. It helps to know that you'll be here." Kida smiled cockily and said, "Where else would I be?" Several hours later, after Obi-wan and Yoda had been contacted about Padmé's condition and they had arrived, Padmé finally gave birth to her children and was resting at last. After the twins had been cleaned and wrapped up Kida went to Padmé's side and asked her softly, "Padmé, your children have been cleaned and wrapped up. Do you want to hold them?"

Smiling weakly, Padmé replied, "Of course I do." Kida and Sola then hand her Luke, who was wrapped in a blue blanket, and Leia, who was wrapped in a pink one, and said simultaneously, "Here they are." As she held her children Padmé looked at them with love and said almost as an afterthought, "Luke looks just like his father." Kida smiled and said, "And Leia looks just like her mother. They'll do more than just look like their parents in the years to come."

Padmé smiled and sighed as she said, "You're probably right, Kida. But somehow it doesn't seem like these two little babies, who know nothing of their brilliant futures, will eventually grow up to become so prominent in the future of the galaxies." Kida nodded and looked out a nearby window at the just setting sun and replied, "So true, but until that time they will be kept from the eyes of the emperor."

Padmé looked at Kida with slightly worry in her eyes and said, "Yes they must. I'm glad that you'll be here to do just that." Kida just nodded again and continued to look out the window as she said, "Me too, Padmé... Me too." A couple minutes later, Kida went out to the parlor, where Yoda and Obi-wan had been waiting since they arrived about a few hours before, to inform them of the birth of the twins.

When she walked into the room, the two Jedi stood up and Obi-wan asked, "How is Padmé doing?" Kida smiled and replied, "She's doing fine and so are the children." Yoda smiled slightly and said, "Good to hear that is." Ben nodded in agreement as he said, "Yes, it is." Kida nodded to them and said, "They were born about a half-hour ago and are lively and healthy."

Obi-wan looked at her a bit worriedly and asked, "How long do you think it will be until they can be hidden?" Kida merely replied, "They can be hidden in a few months, after they're weaned." Yoda nodded and said, "Until then an eye on them you must keep." She nodded and smiled as she said, "Of course, Master Yoda." Ben then asked attentively, "Can we go and see Padmé now?"

Kida nodded again and smiled warmly as she said, "Sure, follow me in a couple of seconds so I can go tell Padmé." Obi-wan smiled and waved her out and said, "Of course, go ahead." She smiled as she left and went to Padmé with Yoda and Obi-wan following a few seconds later. When they arrived they found Padmé sitting against the headboard of the bed with Luke and Leia in her arms.

When she saw them Padmé smiled and gestured them closer, which they did, as she said, "Hello." As Ben gazed down at the peacefully sleeping twins he said, "Hello, Padmé. How are you feeling?" Padmé sighed and replied, "Exhausted, but I'm doing fine." Yoda smiled at her and said, "Good to hear that is."

Obi-wan looked up at Kida, who was standing on the other side of the bed watching over the new mother and children, and said in wonder, "It's amazing that these two, small children will grow up to become such prominent people in the future." Yoda smiled and nodded in agreement as he said, "Yes, it is." Kida looked at Ben warmly and replied, "But it will happen." With that everyone gazed down in wonder, amazement, and love at the two tiny children who would eventually have such pivotal roles in a future rebellion.
