A.N. While so far I have been "dancing on the edge of canon" (Yes, I know this story doesn't have exact dialogue and contradicts Secrets of the Jedi, though I didn't when I started writing this) I'd now like to take this in an AU direction.
The Dreamers Chapter 9 (I think)
"Yes," I said, feeling relieved for the first time in months. "We need to get away from all this. I'll go insane otherwise."
If I haven't already.
"I love you so much. I need you. Our child needs you," Padme cried as she ran into my arms. I didn't want to let either of them down.
Once we were on board her ship, though, I realized I had no idea where we were going. "We don't have to hide forever," I told Padme. "The war will be over and then I can take care of Palaptine."
"Ani, promise me you'll be careful when you do something like that."
Did she not trust me? "Of course."
It wasn't long before we found an out-of-the-way planet. It wasn't like what either of us were used to, but it would have to do for the time being. I was afraid we would stick out as there weren't many humans, but nobody seemed to pay much attention to us. We quickly found an apartment and began making plans to go to Naboo.
"Ani", she asked me once, "do you miss your old life?"
"No," I said, after thinking about it for a minute. "How could I miss being in danger of being blasted out of the sky any time?"
The safety, however, didn't last. The past has a tendency of catching up with you.
A.N. Just 1 more chapter left, I promise!
