Okay, Chapter 3. I first would like to thank everyone for their amazing reviews. Without you guys I would have never added more chapters! Thanks for all your opinions and support. I hope you like this next segment.

Anakin rests his head on Padme's shoulder as she sings their twins to sleep. He still marvels at their beauty, and cannot believe they are his. Padme gazes lovingly at the children as Anakin gazes at her. What a beautiful family. Anakin is overcome with a feeling of passionate devotion and filled with a sense of tranquillity and contentment at what he is beholding. His beautiful wife and radiant twins, existing as part of him, loving him as their own. He belongs to them as they belong to him. He cannot conceive what would have become of them if he hadn't realized his dreadful mistake in falling to the dark side. If he hadn't caught himself in time, he wouldn't be sitting here now, in awe of what stands before him. Anakin tries to never think of this. Each time he does, something inside him twists in pain, and he is overwhelmed with distress and sorrow. A feeling that his beautiful family does not deserve him, that this bliss was not meant to be.

As he moves these painful thoughts from his mind, he slips into sleep and dreams of a beautiful ending to this already perfect existence. But dreams are rarely meant to become reality.

Later on...

"Anakin, strong in the force you are. But not so strong in the Jedi ways." Master Yoda had called him into his chamber, as well as young Billy. "Trust you, no more, I can. But need you more than ever, the Jedi existence does. Young Billy needs a Master. Fill this position you must. Your struggle with the dark side is the knowledge and experience he needs in a teacher. Use your wisdom, you must. Teach Billy to learn the good from your mistakes. A Master now, you are. Use this authority wisely. Do much good for this padiwan you can, but risk there still is. Be cautious. Now go! May the force be with you."

"And with you, Master Yoda. I thank you for this second chance. I will not fail you again! Come, Billy, we have much training to do."

Meanwhile in an Imperial ship observing the Death Star...

The Emperor looks over the almost-finished space station awaiting something unknown. He senses his fallen apprentice getting weaker and weaker by the minute. Anakin will not turn to the dark side again as he had once done, but he will be much easier to kill. Besides, there is another the Emperor has in mind. A new apprentice, even stronger than Anakin had been. His training in the Jedi ways would give the Sith Lord an even greater advantage in winning him over. As soon as the boy feels he is being held back, his new master would swoop down and take him under his wing and make him the greatest warrior there ever was.

Back on Endor...

"Billy, your training is going astoundingly well. You are a very promising Jedi. You still have so much to learn about the force, but even now, you are stronger than I was at your age." Anakin's excitement for the boy is not rubbing off on his apprentice.

"Why can I not go ahead and learn more about the force now? Why is there so much waiting."

"Because, my boy, one thing we must learn as Jedi, is patience. This is something I had trouble with as a student. That is one of the reasons I fell to the dark side. You must wait until the time is right. We cannot rush your training, that could be a catastrophic mistake."

"Yes Master. I trust your judgment."

With these words spoken, Anakin senses a flash of resentment in his apprentice's tone. At that moment, Anakin collapses and envisions the fate of this boy. In this vision, he sees himself and Billy engaging in battle, the hatred radiating from the innocent boy's body and mind. In the background, the Dark Lord is watching in approval, nodding his intimidating head as he watches the next generation of Sith rise up again.
