But during the ten long years that they were apart, they saw each other one last time...a meeting that no one knew about, except each other.
During those ten years Padme slowly gained back her strength and slowly grew into a beautiful young lady. She served as Queen for two terms, ruling over her people and making sure peace was brought forth to their planet.
Soon afterwards, the people of Naboo tried to convinced Queen Amidala to stay for yet another third term. But at that point Padme was tried, she enjoyed her time as queen but always questioned her decisions, and knew that maybe she shouldn't have even taken up the offer to be queen at all...she was to young.
But like many other things...she also was told she was to young.
Obi-Wan on the other hand had traveled the many galaxies of the near and far systems to train his young padawan, who was now becoming a fine, but rather on the edge Jedi.
He loved to take risks, and scare Obi-Wan whenever they seemed close to death or trouble.
But the two were very close friends and thought of each other as family, so through Obi-Wan's teachings, he lead Anakin closer and closer to becoming more powerful. Years past and even when they did come back to the council, Obi-Wan was treated with much respect due to his hard work in becoming a fine master and training a padawan at such a young age.
All was forgotten, almost as if it never happened.
But if didn't.
Deep down inside Padme and Obi-Wan still grieved their baby daughter.
So almost two years after it happened, Padme sent Obi-Wan a message while he was back at the temple, ready to take off for another planet in another week or so.
They would meet in the city at her apartment in secret.
At first Obi-Wan was unsure about this.
What would happen if anyone found out?
His main reason in the first place to leave her and end the affair was to let her restart her life and try and forget about him.
But he couldn't stop thinking about her, or of the baby they lost.
So with a nervous stomach, and a heavy heart he visited her.
She was now seventeen, and he was twenty-two.
She was just a beautiful as he dreamed. But last time he saw her, she was bruised and beaten, close to death in the cold gray lit room.
It broke his heart, but seeing her again brought back so many memories of their time together when they were in love.
She was dressed in a simple black dress, and her hair was down.
They were left alone and she went to him.
"Obi-Wan, I'm so glad to see you."
She hugged him, and at first Obi-Wan felt stiff, he didn't know if this was right or not.
And she felt it.
She gave a nervous smile and they sat across from each other as the setting sun started to shade over the buildings.
"How are you?"
"Very well, and yourself?"
"Fine, my people have been more then kind to these passing times of the future."
"I understand, I heared you have even gotton Jar Jar Binks on your staff."
She smiled.
"Jar Jar has become a very close friend of mine, I trust him in matters of our planet."
Obi-Wan let out a small smile.
"How has your missions been?"
"Very well, they remind me of the ones I took with my own master."
"And of Anakin?"
"Anakin is doing very well, he asks about you and always sends his best...I see his strength leading him to become a very powerful Jedi, he's very fast on his feet."
"He's learned from the best."
They smiled again, but still felt nervous.
"Obi-Wan, I know you really don't wanna be here...I don't need the force to know that, but I needed to talk to you before any more time seemed to space us apart."
"My lady please..." But she cut him off.
"It took a great deal of time to understand the letter you wrote to be the day you left, but now I do...you cared enough for me to leave and let me try and restart of life, you wanted time to heal my wounds, and to try not to take the risks we took before."
Obi-Wan looked at her as she went on.
"The time we had together is a time of my life I shall never forget, we did love each other, even if we were young that is the plain truth with or without the force." "And I know we would of made fine parents and even risked more on your daughter's life then we would even of thought, but it happened...she died."
Her voice was starting to slowly crack, and Obi-Wan felt weight in his chest.
"There was nothing anyone of could of done...your baby died, and when the Jedi found out they gave you a choice, you picked the one that was best for me and I thank you for that." "Your love was pure, but blind at the same time...we didn't understand how things worked in life and how loss is what tears most apart...I loved you Obi-Wan and I loved our daughter, and I always shall, but my love for you has changed...we can never be together since we chose that, I will love you as a friend, and as a brother...and in the future I hope we can see each other again."
She reached out her hand and touched his, tears were falling from each of their eyes. When they locked they smiled through crying. It was then said out loud there true feelings...it was ended now and to be forgotton.
They stood up together and laughed, Obi-Wan useing his hand to wipe the tears away from her face.
They were forgiven.
They hugged each other laughing, knowing even deep down inside if it hurt, at least they would know how they felt about each other now.
"Letting you go is the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Obi-Wan whispered in her ear.
They then faced each other, now knowing each other as lovers could never be done.
She was a Queen, and he was a Jedi Knight.
So they kissed, one last time, right on the lips and when they pulled apart they smiled.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For giving me my daughter."
He looked at her, his eyes frozen and sad,
"I know I was only with her for a few moments, but she was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen before in my life, I think seeing her made me understand how fragile life really is."
He nodded and kissed her again.
"We'll see her again Padme, I promise."
She smiled and leaned in to be held for another second, before breaking away and giving one last friendy look.
"Well Mr.Kenobi...until then."
"Until then My lady."
He took a slight bow, and turned to leave, but before leaving...he looked at her.
"I just want you to be happy Padme, someone that will treat you right and will really give up everything for you."
She smiled and nodded, holding back tears.
"Good-bye my friend."
And with that he left, she wouldn't see him for another eight years.
