If I Could Change Our Fate

Summary: AU: During ROTS. Padme has visions of the future and her and Anakin's fate. She decides to change it, if she can. Book 1 of 2: What If?

Chapter 6: Padme

(Anakin's POV)

"What's up?" I questioned worriedly and Obi-Wan spoke up.

"Padme's been hurt." I stood there, stunned by Obi-Wan's words. What? It took a while for it to sink in. Padme's been hurt.

"W-what?"

"Padme's been hurt." Obi-Wan repeated.

"Where is she?"

"She's in the medical wing."

"I have to go see her."

"She's critically hurt; I don't think they will allow you to see her."

"She is my wife, I will see her." I stated and rushed out of the room. My heart pounding.

I ran to the front desk, my heart racing just faster as before. Who could have done this to her? She was fine this morning…

"Excuse me Master Skywalker, who are you looking for?"

"Padme Amidala." The medical droid looked through the files and quickly looked back up.

"I'm sorry sir, no visitors allowed."

"Please let me see her."

"Doctors orders."

"She is my wife!" Everything stopped. Everybody turned and looked at me. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Anakin Skywalker was married… To Senator Amidala…

The medical droid didn't even try to stop me. It told me her room and I ran off in search for it. 223, 224, 225, 226! I found it! I threw open the door and there lay Padme. My angel, pale as could be, her hands resting on her stomach. I wanted to break down, but knew I had to be strong for her.

"Padme…" My words were soft as I pulled a seat next to her bed. I sat down and gently brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Padme, angel… Open your eyes… Please… I beg of you. I can't lose you."

There were tubes coming out of her. Needles stuck every place possible on her arms. Her breathing was short and ragged. She was dressed in an all white outfit. The only thing colorful was the jappor necklace, I had given her. I could sensed somebody at the door. I thought it was Obi-Wan.

"Anakin…" I turned around, I was right it was Obi-Wan.

"What's wrong with her Master?"

He hesitated, "She was struck by a sith… Injured pretty badly… They don't know if-"

"Don't say it! Don't tell me she's going to die Master!"

"Anakin, you have to face the facts."

"I have to save her! I just have too!" I couldn't lose her, she was everything to mean. She was my world, if she died, I died with her.

"What about the baby?"

"They think she miscarried it." Obi-Wan stated thickly. The only word I heard was 'miscarried.'

"I can't lose her Master."

"I know Anakin; it's hard, but just know that she loves you."

"I can't go on living without her!" If she had the baby, I could have gone on, it would take a long time for me to get over her death, but I would have gone on because our love was stored into this child, but without her and the child, then I couldn't live at all.

I wanted to die right now. So I could be with Padme where there were no problems, where we could finally be happy. I should have known that I could never give her the life she hoped for.

"Master, who did this?"

"We don't know Anakin."

"I need to know who did this."

"We will go and search for clues, but we don't know for sure right now."

"I will find out who did this to you, Padme." I had turned to her and my hand was placed gently on her pale cheek. Weakly, a shaky hand reached up and placed over mine.

"Anakin…" Her voice sounded strained, like she was trying hard to find the right words.

"Padme, love… Who did this to you?"

"Don't leave me Ani."

"I need to know who did this too you Padme… I need to save you."

"Ani… Stay with me…"

"Padme… Please love; tell me who did this to you."

"It wouldn't matter Ani, you can't save me… I'm too weak." She smiled slightly.

"Don't say that Padme… I can't live without you."

"But you made a promise. How could you break that?" I leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Anakin Skywalker. Always know that. I will be forever waiting…" She was fading.

"Please Padme… Don't leave me."

"I will always be with you Anakin… I'm never going to leave you."

"Who did this to you Padme?"

Her last words to me were, "Chancellor Palpatine." And her world went black.

I felt hot tears run down my face. She couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be. Padme, my angel, my world, my love, my everything. Was gone. Taken away from me. I got up and ran from the room, I was going to search for Chancellor Palpatine and destroy him for doing this to me.

(Padme's POV)

My eyes fluttered open as I felt Anakin's hand gently on my cheek. He was here, he was finally here. I let his emotions flood into my soul. He loved me, he loved me so much. What about Luke and Leia? What happened to them?

I was weak. So weak. I could barely move, but I would move for Anakin. He was my life. My hand moved slowly up to Anakin's hand and I gently rested it on top of his. It hurt to move, with all those needles and tubes sticking into me.

"Anakin." I said, my voice sounded weak and raspy.

"Padme, love… Who did this to you?" I didn't say anything. I knew in my last moments, I didn't want to be bothered with who killed me.

"Don't leave me Ani." It was painful for me to watch him so hurt… I didn't want him to be like this. I wanted him to be happy for all the times we had together.

"I need to know who did this to you Padme… I need to save you." I smiled, that was my Ani. Always trying to save people.

"Ani… Stay with me…" I let tears leak from my eyes. I tried to be strong, but how could I? He sounded like he wanted to die… I couldn't let him die, but then again what was there to live for if his wife and child died?

"Padme… Please love; tell me who did this to you." He couldn't save me, he knew it. But then why was he trying so hard?

"It wouldn't matter Ani, you can't save me… I'm too weak." I smiled slightly.

"Don't say that Padme… I can't live without you." I wanted to encourage him that he could.

"But you made a promise. How could you break that?" I could feel him thinking about it. He leaned forward and gently kissed my forehead.

"I love you Anakin Skywalker. Always know that. I'll be forever waiting…" I was fading… I couldn't hold on much longer…

"Please Padme… Don't leave me."

"I will always be with you Anakin… I'm never going to leave you."

"Who did this to you Padme?" I knew I would have to tell him. It was my last chance to save him from the fate I had in my dreams.

So what if I didn't save myself? I still had one last chance in saving Anakin. He could live on life knowing that he didn't kill me and that I had gone in peace.

"Chancellor Palpatine." Were my last words to him before my world went black…
