Chapter Seven:

Anakin stood there in awe. His beloved was sitting before him. a small, beautiful smile formed on her lips.

On shaky legs, Anakin made his way towards her then knelt next to her. A just as shaky hand gently ran across her face. She was real, not like the vision he always saw in his dreams. Tears began to weld up in both of their eyes, the longer Anakin held his hand to her face.

"I'm sorry for everything," he gently said, letting all his emotions get the better of him.

"Shh," she replied placing a finger against his lips.

He leaned up and ever so gently kissed her lips. It was just as he remembered.

Here sitting before him was his wife. His wife. He couldn't believe that she was forgiving of him. Especially after what he had done to her and their unborn child. A wave of emotion hit him. Recently he had gone through so much. From turning back to the light side, overcoming his injuries, becoming whole once again and now this, Anakin broke down and sobbed like a child.

He wrapped his arms around Padmé's stomach and placed his head against her abdomen and sobbed.

"It's alright my love," Padmé softly said running her hand along his head. "I understand."

As Anakin lay against his wife and cried, he felt something through the Force reach out and gently brush against him in a curious manner followed closely behind by another curious being reaching out. That was when he realized that Padmé was pregnant with twins. He smiled gently to himself as he decided to keep that to himself.

He stood up and helped his wife up off the bed. "I love you Padmé and I am sorry for everything. I was obsessed with being able to save you. And in the end I let you down."

"I love you too Ani," she said. "But you haven't let me down. See, I'm here aren't I? And you're here now. And soon our child will be with us as well."

They shared another soft kiss. And in his heart, Anakin made a vow to himself. Never again would he touch the Dark side. He now had a family to take care of. And he had so much to make up for, especially to his forgiving and loving wife.
