The story begins as Anakin is confronting Padme after he has slaughtered the entire remainder of the Separatist faction.
Chapter 2: The Series of Unfortunate Events
Anakin carried Padme onto his ship and took off setting course back for Coruscant. As soon as they were safely in hyperspace he went back to check on Padme. She was sweating and stirring in her sleep in one of the bunks. Anakin reached out and calmly grasped her hand. Her eyes suddenly sprang open and Anakin felt an invisible hand at his throat, he gasped for air.
"Padme it's me," he managed to choke out.
The restriction on his airway was suddenly gone. He breathed in deeply, enjoying the flow of air back into his lungs.
"Anakin," Padme sobbed grabbing him and pulling him down into a hug, "I was so scared."
"Of what?" Anakin asked.
"Of losing you," she replied, "I was afraid I was going to lose you because of Obi-wan."
"I know," Anakin said, "I was afraid I was going to lose you to Obi-wan and the Jedi."
Suddenly Padme let out a wail of pain.
"What is it?" Anakin asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"I think the baby is coming," Padme said.
"Well hold on," Anakin said, "We're almost at Coruscant. Try and get some rest."
Anakin went back up to the cockpit. He activated the com system and a holo image of his master appeared.
"What news do you have my apprentice," Palpatine asked.
"The Separatists have been dealt with," Anakin said.
"Good," Palpatine said in his cruel tone.
"But there have been other developments," Anakin said.
"What sort of developments?" Palpatine asked angrily.
"Good developments," Anakin replied.
He explained what had just occurred with Obi-wan and Padme.
"It is unfortunate that Master Kenobi was allowed to escape," Palpatine said, "It will be your task to hunt him down and see that he does not cause any more trouble."
"Yes Master," Anakin said, "And what of Padme?"
"I did not foresee his development," Palpatine admitted, "But the future is often in motion and it appears that you have changed it my young apprentice."
"Yes but what will become of her?" Anakin asked.
"I still do not entirely trust her," Palpatine said, "Everything that she does will be your responsibility."
"I understand Master," Anakin said.
"And what of the child?" Palpatine asked.
"The ordeal has caused her to go into labour," Anakin answered, "I am bringing her back to Coruscant immediately."
"Good," Palpatine said, "The hunt for Kenobi can wait, for now. The remaining Jedi will be busy regrouping. It's best if we do the same."
Anakin bowed before the holo image before ending the transmission.
"What was that about?" Padme asked from the doorway.
"It's nothing you need to worry about," Anakin replied, "Soon we will be back to Coruscant where you will have the best care in the world."
Obi-wan's ship dropped out of hyperspace in seemingly the middle of nowhere. A few minutes later another larger ship appeared a few kilometres away and began to slowly approach. Obi-wan flew into the docking bay and exited his ship. Master Yoda and Senator Bail Organa were waiting for Obi-wan at the end of the ramp.
"I sense your mission, a success it was not, Obi-wan," Yoda said.
"It was more like a complete failure," Obi-wan muttered some what angrily, "Senator Amidaala has joined the side of my former apprentice."
"A regrettable but not entirely unforeseen event," Yoda said.
"You don't understand," Obi-wan said, "She was wielding Sith-like powers against me."
"Ah, understand I do though," Yoda said, "We have always known that the senator was force sensitive. To be a Jedi, recruited she would have been. Discovered earlier had she been."
"But to use them completely untrained like that?" Obi-wan asked.
"With extreme emotions the dark side works." Yoda said, "Still, disturbing this development is."
"What about the child?" Bail asked the two Jedi.
"She could be giving birth any day now," Obi-wan agreed, "The last thing we need is the child falling into the hands of the emperor."
"Agreed," Yoda said, "Kidnap we must, for the child's protection."
"I don't know if we'll be able to kidnap Padme," Obi-wan said.
"Then maybe we can take the baby," Bail suggested.
"That's not a bad idea," Obi-wan said, "I mean at least that way we can ensure that we can continue the Jedi line."
"Perhaps," Yoda said, "The Jedi Order needs to die."
Obi-wan couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Master Yoda, do you know what you're saying?"
"Yes," Yoda replied, "But obviously something was wrong with the order for a tragedy of this great a magnitude to occur."
Both Obi-wan and Bail looked at ground with solemn looks upon their faces.
"So you're saying that the Jedi Order needs to re-invent itself?" Bail asked.
Yoda gave a nod.
"Master Yoda with all due respect there are much more pressing matters at hand," Obi-wan tried to argue.
"Stop the Sith, we can not." Yoda said, "Rebuild, we must. Only then can the Sith be defeated."
Obi-wan nodded, "You are right, Master Yoda. I'm sorry for not thinking in the long term."
"Go you must to Coruscant," Yoda said, "And the child of your apprentice you must bring back."
Obi-wan nodded and bowed very slightly, "Yes Master Yoda," he said, "I promise I will return."
Obi-wan turned to re-board his ship.
"Obi-wan," Yoda called out.
Obi-wan turned about to face the wise Jedi Master.
"Do not let him goad you into a fight," Yoda warned, "On Coruscant, great advantage he will have."
