She smiled up at him. Her eyes holding a warmth he hadn't seen in days.
"Now?" She asked. He nodded and she pulled away grinning. He followed her into the living room where Jobal, Ruwee and Darred sat.
"Where's Sola?" Padmé asked looking around for her sister. The Naberrie's and her brother in law sat comfortably on the couch.
"She's in the back garden with Ryoo and Pooja," Jobal said.
"Ani, you stay here, I'll be back in a minute," she told him as she walked through the oak doors leading to the patio. Not two minutes later she returned with a puzzled looking Sola, Ryoo and Pooja.
"Wait, Padmé, Laseo needs to be here," he reminded her grinning. She gave him a sharp look before going to find him. Once they were all seated, each one wearing a different expression. Ryoo and Pooja looked very bored to be told they had to come inside on such a wintry day. It was after all snowing again, much to Anakin's delight. Jobal and Ruwee had confused expressions, Sola and Darred had knowing ones and Laseo looked livid.
"Ani and I have something I want to tell you…" Padmé began before Sola gave an excited squeal and said, "I knew it, you two are dating aren't you."
"Sola! No we aren't dating!" Padmé cried, furious at her sister for ruining her announcement. Anakin couldn't bear it any longer.
"No we're married." He blurted out. All eyes turned to face him. There was an eerie silence among the group.
"WHAT!" Laseo yelled, "Ruwee what is he talking about, I asked you last week for permission to marry Padmé."
"WHAT!" Anakin cried just as outraged. He lunged at Laseo before all hell broke loose.
"You're married!"
"Oh Force, Ani-"
"Laseo-"
Even Ryoo and Pooja joined in moaning about the fact that they weren't allowed outside.
"But mommy, we already knew Aunt Padmé was married to the Jedi." Pooja complained.
"Ryoo!"
"Jedi?" Sola questioned. Her brain suddenly remembered to a while back when her sister brought home a Jedi. To confirm her suspicions she looked towards Anakin.
"JEDI! Sola screamed, "PADME AMIDALA NABERRIE!" Padmé looked up guiltily. Sola smiled before crushing both Anakin and Padmé in back breaking hug. Anakin looked startled before awkwardly patting the elder Naberrie daughter on the back. Padmé who was used to such outbursts of affection just smiled hugged her back. Jobal and Ruwee looked on, absolutely shocked at the information that had been revealed.
"Jedi," Ruwee practically whispered, "Jedi aren't allowed to marry." Anakin and Padmé who had now been released by Sola looked at him. Anakin stepped forward.
"Um no Sir, we aren't." he stated. Jobal stepped forward towards her daughter with tears in her eyes.
"Padmé, you got married. Darling why didn't you tell us?" she asked tearfully.
"No one was supposed to know."
"How long?" asked Ruwee.
"Since the beginning of the clone wars. We were married just after Anakin lost his arm." Padmé said, now as tearful as her mother was. She looked down at the floor ashamed of how she kept her family from knowing the most important commitment she had ever made.
"Padmé, you know marriage isn't something that can be undone like in other star systems, you have to know they're the right one you are to be with." Jobal said kindly.
"I know, Mum, I do, I know he's the one," she smiled despite the tears running down her face.
"Why don't we all sit down and talk about this calmly?" Darred who had rounded Ryoo and Pooja up and they were now sitting contentedly on his lap, suggested.
