Padme
Padme was sitting at her desk trying, unsuccessfully, to get some work done when she received the transmission from stating that Bail's ship was docking. Oh great! She though to her self. She had really enjoyed the few day that Bail has not been around. It was nice to get a break from him every know and then.
Sighing she went to find a place that she could avoid him with out making it completely obvious. As she walked she though bout the time that she had been able to spend with her son. He was so smart and full of life. She wanted to cry every time she though about what she had missed in his life, and what Anakin had missed in Leia's. That though brought a frown to her face. When is Anakin going to get back? She was worried, she had complete faith in Anakin, but she was still scared.
She decided to take a speeder down to the meadow where the children were playing for the day. She knew that it would look odd but at he moment, she wanted to see her son and avoid Bail. When she arrived at the meadow, all the children were running around laughing enjoying them selves.
Padme had a hard time remembering her youth were she had been that relaxed, just let loose and had fun. Then she recognized the meadow, and she remembered letting loose. It was the meadow that she and Anakin had had a picnic at when he was protecting her, before the clone wars. Before Luke and Leia. She smiled remembering that day.
'Oh, I don't know'
'Sure you do you just don't want to tell me.'
'Okay his name was Palo…'
She could not help but laugh at this memory. That was when one of the parents supervising noticed her.
"My Lady?" She asked shocked that the Queen was out in a spring dress laughing at some children running around the meadow. She merely smiled in a return comment. After a few moments the woman broke the silence again.
"I hope that the little princess is feeling better." The woman said this warmly but it was obvious she was nervous, talking to a Queen.
Padme took a few steps closer to the woman.
"She is fine, I know that she will be touched by your concern though." At this, the woman smiled and nodded her head a little color rising in her cheeks at the thanks. "Which one is yours?" Padme asked smiling nicely, trying to make the woman feel comfortable. There were never many people who would really talk to her, Anakin was one of these people, and Padme wanted to chat with another parent as they watched their children run around the meadow. At the question, the woman look a little shocked. She had not been expecting to truly talk to the Queen.
"Oh, she the one over to the far left" She said pointing. "In the red dress." Padme looked and saw a girl about Luke and Leia's age with two thick strawberry blond pigtails, and a bright smile; she was a rather pretty girl.
"Oh isn't she the cutest thing." Padme said laughing merely. The woman was getting used to the friendliness of the Queen and smiled. Padme felt relived, she was talking to some one actually talking it felt good.
Padme spent the rest of the day at the meadow, talking to the parents and felling like human again.
