Here's the second chapter. Hope y'all like it. It kind of sucks since I wrote it at 2 in the morning. But hey, I can always update! Yay for technology! Oh yeah, I don't own any characters, blah blah blah.

Anakin looks into his newborn daughter's face through tear-filled eyes and realizes how close he came to never being able to see her. He still has regret in his heart for the things he did, and will never fully forgive himself for his irreversible actions. But he tries to put all this behind him as he gazes into his future with Padme and his beautiful twins. Raising a family was always something he had dreamed about as a boy. Being a slave on Tatooine, there was always something lacking in his family life, and he knew he could have had a more fulfilling experience if he and his mother had been free. His wife and two new children will be his redemption for his failure to his mother. He misses her so, but he now has the chance to start over, and do it right this time.

"Yoda, I do not know what to say. I have failed you, I have failed the Jedi Order. My actions have no excuse. I regret what I have done, and I know there is no way I can take it back, but I give you my deepest apologies, if that means anything to you." Anakin's head is bowed humbly and he cannot meet the wise master's eyes.

"Strong the dark side is! Weak men can't resist! Your willpower and strength of mind get you only so far as a Jedi, they will. Tricked you, the Emperor did. Your young mind resisted not his attempts at turning you. Need more training, you do. Should have listened to Yoda! But I need rest. Much has happened lately. Go to young Billy. Only survivor of the younglings he is. Tendencies toward the dark side he has. You must help him. Teach him of your new revelations. Now go, I must rest. May the force be with you." Yoda's words are wise, but his face shows a light of forgiveness for Skywalker. This is all the closure he needs.

"And with you, master."

Inner peace. This is what must be achieved. He clears his mind as he walks through the forests of Endor. The remaining Jedi (Anakin, Yoda, Obi Wan Kenobi, and a few random others) have been hiding on this planet since the Republic turned against them. His mind wanders as he tries to find focus. His emotions are so strong, he cannot control the feelings he is experiencing. Anger, guilt, regret, depression. His past cannot be denied. He helped destroy the very thing that meant the most to him. The Jedi Order had protected the Republic for 18,000 years and now it has to be built up again from nothing.

Anakin struggles with his inner feelings and does not notice the small child that follows beside him. They walk in perfect silence for minutes until Anni sits on a log and meditates.

"Excuse me, Master Anakin." This introduction of sound through the air startles the Jedi and he nearly slips off his log.

"I – I'm not a Master yet..."

"You should be."

Anakin looks at the young Padiwan. He knows this boy. This boy is Billy... Billy. Anakin's face turns a little red and he feels an awkward moment coming on. He looks into Billy's eyes and sees the truth. The boy remembers. He remembers, and knows it was Anni. Is he afraid?

"So, I see you have a bandage on your leg. Is that from the – " As soon as he says it, Anakin knows it was a mistake.

"Umm, yes it is, Master. I know... I don't hold anything against you. The dark side is... hard to resist. It – it wasn't your fault..." He stops short. The boy knows this is not a matter for words. He forgives Anakin for his mistake, and that it that. The birds are chirping and the sun is glistening in the leaves of the trees. The universe holds such things as the dark side and evilness, but a boy like Billy can be so forgiving of that nature. His purity revives Anakin, and he feels renewed. The boy's eyes sparkle and he wraps Anakin in a warm hug of friendship. All is well in Endor. And Anakin's bad deeds are forgiven. But on a planet far away, the Empire plans an attack...

Hooray for cheesiness! Cheese is good. Mmmm, dairy! Anyways, this is less of a romance than the first one, it is more of just an overview of Anakin's feelings and crap like that. I just loved Billy so much I couldn't let him die. Should Anni and Billy become friends? Master and Apprentice? Or will one of them fall to the dark side? Maybe there wont even be another chapter! Who knows? Who cares? Here's a poll: Who out there cares? Answer in your reviews.

Author's note: Whenever Emperor says dark side, envision it as Dark Siiiieeeed!
