A/N: I am so sorry for not updating in so long. But I have had a very bad computer problem that made me have to get a new computer. And on the new computer the internet rarely works, and whenever it does, I have to do homework. I think I have finally fixed the problem so I can start posting more chapters. I will also tell you I am experiencing a bit of writers block, put I think it will be cured very soon. I am putting a small preview or summary of what will happen in the next chapter at the bottom of this chapter to try and make people not so mad at me for taking to long to update. I hope it helps.

Disclaimer: I pretty sure that I own Star Wars but my psychiatrist says I don't so I think I need to go by what he says.

Chapter 8: Contact

            A few days after Sabe and Padme had confessed everything to Elladan, they heard from Obi-Wan again. Padme was the one who answered the call.

            "Obi Wan?" Padme said when she found out who it was, "It is so good to hear from you again. We were so worried when we didn't hear from you right away."

            "It is good to hear from you too Padme," Obi-Wan replied, "How have things been going for you and Sabe, is everything working out alright?"

            "Yes, of course everything has been going alright. Sabe and I were able to find a good place to stay and we've made friends with a few of the locals, one of which has turned out to be a big help," Padme explained to him.

            "That is good. Is there anything else going on?" Obi-Wan asked, sensing Padme wasn't telling him everything.

            "Well, ummm, yes, there is something else. I wasn't feeling too well recently so I went to the doctor and, ummm…" Padme said, feeling a bit of fear in telling Obi-Wan this, not knowing what his reaction would be.

            "What is it Padme?" Obi-Wan asked, concern filling in his voice.

            "I found out that I'm…pregnant," Padme answered.

            "Oh," Obi-Wan replied, shocked at the news. He knew Padme and Anakin were together and even married, but he didn't think they would go that far, "That is great news for you Padme, but I must warn you, having this baby will put you in even more danger. Anakin's child will be very strong in the force, and if the Emperor finds out Anakin had a child, he will want to find the child and probably train it in the dark side of the force. You must be careful."

            "Trust me, I will be careful, very careful. I would never want to lose my own child, especially since it is the last piece of Anakin that I have. And I would never want any child to have to be subjected to Palpatine," Padme told him.

            "Good," Obi-Wan answered," Is Sabe there?"

            "Yes, let me get her," Padme said, getting up and finding Sabe. Upon finding her, Padme told Obi-Wan good and handed the comlink over to Sabe.

            "Obi-Wan! What took you so long to contact us?!?" Sabe asked him immediately after seeing Padme leave the room.

            "I am truly sorry about that Sabe, but I haven't been in a place that was safe for me to contact you in until now," Obi-Wan explained.

            "And why is that?" Sabe persisted.

            "I have had much success in tracking this 'Lord Vader' but I didn't want to take any chances of him or his allies overhearing a message and either finding you or finding out what I was doing," Obi-Wan said, hoping that explanation would be good enough for Sabe.

            "What have you found out so far about him?" Sabe asked.

            "Like I had told you earlier he suddenly popped into existence when Palpatine declared himself Emperor. Before then, there was nothing known about, but I think that he had been training in the ways of the force long before then because from what I have heard is very well knowledged in those ways. The Emperor has declared Vader as his right hand man, but I do not know why. I have tracked him to be going towards the plant Kuerta and I plan on meeting him there."

            "Obi-Wan, are you sure that's is safe. If anything happened to you…I don't know what I'd do," Sabe told him.

            "Don't worry about me Sabe. I will be fine. Just stay where you are and wait for me to contact you again," Obi-Wan said, "Have you told anyone on the planet anything about who you really are?"

            "Well, we have meet a very good friend and Padme and I felt like we could trust him enough to tell him the truth," Sabe told him, "Please don't get mad. But we needed someone who could help us."

            "It's alright Sabe. Just be very careful. I have heard news that the Emperor is sending spies to your area soon, so don't tell anyone else without my approval," Obi-Wan said.

            "Alright," Sabe said reluctantly.

            "Thank you. I had better get going. I will be meeting with this Vader figure in about 6 hours. I will let you know how things went as soon as I know," Obi-Wan told her, "Good bye Sabe."

            "Good bye Obi-Wan," Sabe said shutting off the comlink.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter. I am sorry it is this short, but I had to get oral surgery that I had to be knocked out for making me tired most of the day, so I've been writing this in one of my awake periods, and that awake period is soon going to end, so once I post this, I'm going to bed. Please let me know what you think of this chapter.

Preview For Next Chapter: In the next chapter, I will be getting away from Padme and Sabe and focusing on Obi-Wan's confrontation with Vader. It will hopefully get very interesting.

Thank you to all who reviewed. I will place personal responses to your review in the next chapter; I'm too exhausted to do it now.
