Chapter 11:

"Anakin, I promise that they will be there in a while when they start crying," Padmé gently said as she lay against the pillows on the bed.

"I know," he said standing up from his kneeling position. He had been watching Luke and Leia as they slept soundly in their cribs. It had been about two weeks since the twins had been born. And every night since, he had watched over them sleep for hours at a time.

Anakin lay down next to his wife and pulled her close. "I know that I may seem overprotective, but I have good reason to be," he said.

"I know," Padmé said softly smiling at him. "But let's get some sleep, while they are sleeping."

Anakin couldn't agree more. He may be used to getting little sleep, but when he had to deal with two screaming infants, it really wore him down.

Yet he couldn't sleep very well that night. Something didn't feel right to him. But he wasn't going to worry Padmé with that. She was worried enough about the twins already. And probably even worried about him as well.

"Where are you taking me?" a young man asked, as he was being lead down a long hallway. All he knew was that he was in the Imperial Palace.

The Storm troopers didn't say anything.

"I didn't do anything!"

Still no answer. Just the grip each of the Storm troopers had on his arms, tightened. The young man decided to just be quiet and wait for whatever came his way.

After a few more minutes, the troopers dropped him to the ground. When the young man looked up, he was face to face with a terrifying sight – the most feared man in the galaxy.

"Hello my new apprentice."

Obi-Wan's swing was very close to searing the skin of Anakin's forearm. "Anakin! Pay attention! I don't want you to loose another arm!" he yelled at Anakin as he turned off his lightsaber.

"Sorry master," Anakin somberly said powering down his lightsaber. He sighed deeply.

"Something is bothering you, Anakin. What is it?" Obi-Wan said as he sat down on the ground. Anakin sat down next to him.

"Nothing is bugging me master."

Obi-Wan just starred at him. Finally Anakin gave into his stares.

"I'm worried about Padmé 's and the twins safety. I know that the Emperor isn't stupid enough to believe that I died. I'm scared to go to sleep at night and wake up to the twins missing. If Palpatine knew that Padmé was still alive and had my children, then he will definitely come after them. I don't know if it would be better for me to leave them and go far away or to stay here and protect them," he said as he picked up a rock and threw it to the side.

Obi-Wan just sat by and thought about it for a second or two. His reckless apprentice had become more mature, but still he was worried that Anakin would fall to the dark side once again if anything happened to Padmé and the twins. He knew that Anakin had been plagued with dreams of Padmé dying during childbirth. That had been one of the reasons he turned to the dark side – to have the ability to save her.

"I think that you are needed the most here. Yes, sooner or later you will have to leave them for a time, but it won't be permanent. And I know that Yoda has left on a mission to find a better place for us all to stay and be protected. So don't worry so much."

"I just wish it was that easy. Something just doesn't feel right."

Obi-Wan once again sighed. "I agree with that."

"We're what?" Padmé asked again. She gently rocked Luke to sleep in her arms.

"We're being relocated to an outer rim planet, not far from here. It's named Audu. It's a peaceful planet, with no Imperial presence. And Sabé and Obi-Wan are going there with us as well." Anakin said, as he let Leia play with his finger while he held her in his arms.

"But what if they find us? And what about your training?"

"Master Yoda assures Obi-Wan and myself that it is safe. And Obi-Wan and I will still train. But you do realize that I will have to go out on missions when they think I'm ready for it."

Padmé sadly nodded yes. She was scared to death that she would loose him once again. That worried her just about as much as Palpatine taking her children away. And Anakin knew it.
