For the rest of the year Padme and Obi-Wan continued their secret affair.
She was sent back to her planet, just as she said...and Obi-Wan stayed on Corusant to train Anakin. It was difficult not being able to see each other when they liked, or even when they did have a chance, when she did visit the senate...she was busy with politics, in which Obi-Wan hated with a passion.
During the course of that year they saw each other three times.
Each time was like the first, their hearts would flutter and remember the pain of being away from each other for so long.
How he loved those stolen moments they had together, even if it was just a kiss, or a glance into her large oak colored eyes...it sent him straight to heaven.
He found himself in better moods, even higher energy whenever he was with her, afterwards when he went back to the temple to train Anakin he found a lighter side to himself and even caught off guard at times laughing with his young padawan.
Time was growing, and so wasn't his heart...his life was going just as he had planned, the only thing missing was Padme being in it all the time.
But these were bust times, and he had to remember, it wasn't only him that lead a hard path life...she to was forced into a life in which she couldn't pull out of to easy.
The last time they were together was when Obi-Wan was asked to see the council on matters unspoken of.
At first fear rushed into his heart, were the others starting to catch on...were these mere moments away with her starting to cloud his thoughts of the force...and what would they do if they really did know?
But it was completely different, they had a mission for him...something in which he knew faith chose from himself.
Anakin would keep training at the temple, while Obi-Wan was sent for a small number of days back to Naboo, to serve as a personal bodyguard to Queen Amidala. The reason for this secret mission was Master Yoda was getting strong, very powerful visions of the dark side, reaching from all depths of the galaxy to reach the queen...he wasn't sure if it was the present or the future, but he wanted a Jedi he trusted to watch over the queen for the short time until they took a better handle on whatever was shaking the balance of the force.
"Great danger I see in Queen Amidala's sight...look after her until my vision returns to hers." Yoda said, and with a bow Obi-Wan accepted.
While walking out he couldn't help but smile...how lucky he was to see the woman he loved again, just the two of them...together again.
But at the same time something fell over his thoughts of joy...what did Master Yoda mean by danger?
Was someone out to harm Padme...he wouldn't have that, anger filled his blood...he would deal with anyone who even thought of harming her.
After saying a farewell to his padawan, he ruffled his sandy colored hair and promised him that once he got back he would start showing him the leap jumps the Jedi were so skilled at doing.
Before leaving he turned to his padawan in the glassed in room and had a vision, a quick one to that...but it flashed across his eyes.
He saw it was night and a bunch of younger padawans were huddled together in a conner. One with fine blond hair and wide blue eyes stood out, trembling.
"Master Skywalker, there are to many of them..." Then he saw a flash of a lightsaber and the vision ended.
"Master?" His thoughts were snapped awake, when he saw Anakin looking up at him, Obi-Wan cleared his throat and said...
"I'm sorry Anakin, I will return soon and I will give the queen your best wishes...may the force be with you."
"And may the force be with you master."
Obi-Wan smiled and left.
The transport was quicker then he thought, the whole time his thoughts were racing and he felt nervous in the stomach.
How he dreamed about her...now it had been only a few months since they last parted.
They were best friends, lover, and soul mates.
Once the blazing sunlight of Naboo danced across the glass windows he knew he had reached heaven, and would soon meet his angel.
At the docking bay he was greeted by many friendly faces as he was taken back to the kingdom, on his way there with the guards they talked about and he saw his old friend R2D2 rolling along.
He laughed.
"Hello old friend, how are you."
"Beep beep!" R2 replied, and with a smirk, Obi-Wan kept walking down the white pebble walk ways.
Once he reached the kingdom, he was lead into the empty ball room which looked so different now almost a year or so later.
Sun light streamed in, and all of the chairs were placed upside down on the empty marble tables. Dust seemed to float in the warm air and Obi-Wan remembered the night on the dace floor.
That was the night he fell in love.
He sighed as he leaned against a table, day dreaming of the past...when a voice that made his heart melt came behind him.
"Your hair...it's getting longer."
Obi-Wan turned and saw her, standing in a yellow sun dress, once again looking so amazing it made his eyes widen and he knew this feeling was good for his mind.
He smiled, his heart pounding and his mouth dry.
She smiled and walked over, inches away from him, her sweet scent of flowers filling the air. She looked at him and tugged on the few stands of hair that were just starting to grow out.
"At least you have a clean shave..." she teased him and laughed.
He smiled back and took her hand in his, one so much bigger and different with rough tanned color.
Hers so soft and pale.
She leaned in and they kissed, so sweet and so lovely. They both smiled through the kiss and she moved forward.
He put his arms around her and then just held her frame.
She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.
"I was about to go against them sending someone, this talk of danger was silly...until I heard it would be you."
He held her and slowly rocked her body against his.
"Even if it is silly, and even if I do count myself the most lucky man in the world right now...I will not let anything happen to you Padme...ever."
She tickled his nose with hers and smiled.
"Your just like them..." He cracked a nervous smile and then they kissed again.
Obi-Wan was sent to spend only a few days with her, but every second they didn't waste.
First she lead him to the music hall at the center of the city, it was just build less then a year ago when he left. A large white marble gazebo with Lilly flowers growing around it.
A small music band were playing, and Padme and Obi-Wan found a bench and sat together and listened to the sweet soft music. People came and went, as the day grew on, the golden iron sun dancing across the smooth stone and blue and orange buildings of the city.
Under the sleeve of his robe, Padme locked hands with his and smiled.
Afterwards they took a walk around the city, Padme introduced Obi-Wan to her parents and brothers and sisters who lived not a far walk from the town center.
They were friendly people, warm and welcome when they entered...Padme's mother was beautiful and very loving as she hugged her daughter and scolded her for working to hard and never getting a chance to see them.
Padme's father took a great liking to Obi-Wan, the two of them sitting in his study as Padme talked with her mother and sisters in the kitchen.
Padme's father was wise and smart, and had enough stories to last a life time...all making Obi-Wan sit on the edge of his seat and laugh.
When it came time to eat, Obi-Wan met Padme's older sister, who had a pretty face and wide blue eyes like her father, she also worked in the kingdom, and had the same strong will as her sister.
He also met Padme's younger sister and brother who fell in love with Obi-Wan right away.
As they ate they talked and laughed, never before had he felt so relaxed and more at home then ever.
After, Obi-wan was taken to the back yard and played with Padme's sister and brother, running around and letting them sit on his shoulders as the swung them around, the whole time Padme's father sitting on the porch smoking his pipe and laughing.
When night fall came Obi-Wan and Padme took another walk around the town's center, and gazed off the bridge at the floating flamed filled fire flowers that bounced up and down.
When they returned to the kingdom, they did the came plan they made the first night...he met her at the pool and she let him in.
It seemed just like yesterday they were in the darkness of this bedroom, nervous and scared for each other.
But in many ways they felt like adults, even if their age only did go up...they were more known to many uses of life and how it was dealt with.
He kissed her in a fury, and this time she was on top, her back arched and screaming his name. When they finished he laid with her, like he did so far about ten or eleven times since they met.
Both with their arms wrapped around each other and hearing the heart beat of the night. He kissed her fingers, one by one before laying beside her and locking eyes...staying that way until dawn.
The next day was just as amazing as the last. They bathed together...which was a first. First said he could shower first, she wanted to stay in bed and watch the rest of the dawn come in. As he stood under the shower head, letting the warm beads of water run down his body the glass door slid open and there was, naked and perfect.
She joined him and he put his arms around her smiling.
Once they dressed, after having what seemed like a never ending pillow fight, he snuck down, and later joined her in the main hall for breakfast.
During their meal they talked, like they had never done before. Of their past, of their family, what they loved, and what they liked most about what they were.
Afterwards Padme and Obi-Wan retried to her pool area. Obi-wan had changed into his shorts, which was something he never wore, only on rare times like this, and kept his robe.
Padme had a black stoned swim suit on, her hair tied up with a short cover up.
They stayed up the pool for a while and took a quick swim, splashing and playing about before they both choked on water from laughing so much.
Padme then pointed past the wall there was a small patch of woods, she asked if he would meet her there in an hour.
At first Obi-Wan was unsure to leave her alone...but she told him it was safe.
After he left he went back to his chambers and dressed, then took out the thing he had been working on for weeks.
When the time came he left and walked through the tall fields and rolling hills before reaching the woods.
He walked for a while, the air a tad bit cooler in the shade, and found her sitting next to a small stream.
He smiled and joined her, sitting beside, and giving her a sweet kiss on the lips.
She told him this was her place, whenever she was worried or scared she would come here...in fact when she died she wanted to be buried here.
It was beautiful, the grass was so soft, the flowers bright, and the water crystal clear.
He sat with her for a while before he smiled and took out what he had been working on for so long, wrapped in simple white paper and string.
She smiled, and unwrapped it with wide eyes, and then they lit up.
It was a small book, maybe the size of one would take with on holiday, leather bound cover, and strings to keep it shut.
She untied them and opened up the twenty or so pages.
Pasted against the faded paper were pressed leaves, flowers, flat sparkles...everything of different size and color.
"Oh Obi...what is it?"
He leaned in and pointed.
"It's pressed flowers, sparkles, leaves...anything I could fit in from everywhere I've ever been to before in my life...Naboo is even in there to."
In the pages where hardly any wildlife grew, Obi-Wan wrote about it in great detail, so it was as if she had been there to.
"Oh Obi..." She said again, but this time no sound coming from her voice as she flipped the pages, studying every single thing laid out on the pages, the feel of it all, the color...so many different words around the stars and he had been to them all.
And he had taken part of them back to share with her...
"Obi-Wan...I can't take this."
"I want you to have it Padme, it's the one thing that didn't have to do with the Jedi that I worked on...I'm sure I'll be to more places in the future, so I'll make more books for you...I wanted to share these places with you Padme, so in a way I could take you with me every time."
Tears showed in her eyes and she smiled through a cry.
She threw her arms around him and kissed him a million times, before falling back and starting in a full on roll down the hill.
One after another, after another they rolled, laughing and once they stopped she was on top, her hair falling into her face, and they bent down and kissed.
Later that night Padme found herself sitting in her chambers, watching the star lit sky, with the book Obi-Wan had given her.
It didn't matter how many times she looked at it...she was still amazed.
She then took out of her pocket his braid, the thing she kept closer to her then anything else and marked the page that she had been looking at with it.
She had something to tell him, and even if it would change things and she was scared...she had to.
They met by the ocean bank...a few miles out.
A beautiful white sand beach was laid about, as the black crystal waves and foam tides rolled back and forth.
No one was there, just the sound of the ocean and the peaceful sounds of the sparking silver stars in the sky.
They met each other, at first she sat there, watching the ocean as he laid his head in her lap and watched the ocean to. She rubbed the back of his head and never felt so alive and happy in her life.
She was in love.
When he sat up they sat there for a while, her oak colored eyes, and his sparking green ones, watching the tide, over and over again.
Then he used his hand to turn her face a little and they started to kiss. Their lips going against each other, her hands all ready starting to undress him as they moved their bodies backward into the grayish black sand and mud of the cold ground.
They were naked, the cold breeze blowing across their smooth tanned bodies, and then he laid on top of her, tilting her head back and he kissed her breasts and neck, making her open her mouth and gasp, tears streaming in her eyes as she looked up at the stars.
He started to make love to her right there, right in the open dead night air of the beach. Their bodies pressed tight together, her legs around his past, and his eyes snapped tight as he cried out.
It went on like that, their bodies caked with dirt until he fell upon her, gasping for air...somehow it was better then all the other times, somehow it was the type of high one can never feel unless beging in love.
He rested his head on her chest as he tried to get her breath, she kissed him and he started to shake, telling her never to let go of him.
They cleaned on the mud later in the tide, and now he laid again, against her in the sand, his pants were back on, and her coverup on.
They watched the night, blue tint in their eyes.
It was an amazing time to be alive...it sure was.
She smiled, looking at his bangs dripping with water and then used her hand to brush them to the side.
"Obi-wan...I have something to tell you..."
He felt she was worried, scared, and nervous. But what was it?
His eyes locked with hers.
"Obi-Wan...I'm pregnant."
