Hey guys, I'm so sorry this chapter is so late. I know the last chapter was rubbish but I was sick at the time. But I'm in a really good mood now so I thought I'd update.
"Okay, I think that would be best." Padmé said sounding slightly unsure of herself. She and Anakin sat alone on one of the couches, while her family and Laseo were spread out on the other two. Laseo was glaring evilly at Anakin now and both of them thought best to ignore it.
"Now, honey, I think you said you were married. Am I correct in assuming he is your husband?" Jobal began the questioning, talking slowly as if she wanted to remember each detail. Padmé nodded.
"Okay and you are having problems because you were having an affair with a Jedi?" Padmé looked shocked.
"No!" she cried. Laseo snorted, he seemed to think the idea of her cheating on Anakin was very funny.
"Mother! I can't believe you would think I would do-" Jobal held her hand up as if to signal silence.
"Enough Padmé. What really happened? Perhaps you could tell us Anakin?" she asked. Anakin looked uncomfortable.
"Well, Padmé didn't have an affair with a Jedi," he told them, spotting the look on Padmé's face he quickly added, "in fact she didn't have an affair at all. We are married and I am a Jedi."
"Are Jedi allowed to marry? I thought it was forbidden." Darred asked holding a squirming Pooja on his lap. Ryoo had managed to flee from her father's grasp and was on the other end of the couch climbing over everyone.
"Well..." began Anakin. Padmé quickly interrupted, afraid of what Anakin would say. He wasn't the best at lying. It was amazing that their marriage had stayed secret.
"No, but Mum, Dad I love him and that all that matters right?"
"Are you sure, it's awfully dangerous living with a Jedi. Surely many people are trying to kill him, it would just make things easier for people who want to kill you." Ruwee said.
"Thanks Dad, but no, it's safer permanently having a Jedi around. Besides no one knows I live with Ani." Padmé told him.
"What do you mean no one knows?" Sola asked quickly. Padmé looked guilty for a brief moment before covering it up. Sola caught it though.
"Padmé! You are in a secret, forbidden marriage. That is so... so... so romantic." Sola sighed dreamily.
"What do you mean no one knows?" Laseo asked.
"It means, no one knows and if you say anything I'll make sure you never see daylight again you little-"
"Ani!" Padmé snapped. He immediately shut up looking fearfully at his wife. Sola grinned at this, Padmé had already learnt to take control. That was her sister.
"Sorry." he murmured.
"Laseo, I know you will not say anything, it would break my heart if Anakin was expelled from the Jedi." she said.
"He would be expelled!" Laseo cried gleefully. Anakin sneered at him.
"Yes, it means so much to him and to me. Please do not say anything." she pleaded. Laseo looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Okay," he said slowly. Padmé smiled and threw her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on the side of his face. Laseo looked delighted but Anakin was turning red. Padmé than threw her arms around Anakin's neck and kissed him. When she pulled away he was no longer red.
"You really would be expelled if anyone found out about your marriage and reported you?" Ruwee asked.
Anakin nodded.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why would you marry my daughter if it has been your dream since you were a boy to become a Jedi?"
"Because I love her." he told him simply. Ruwee smiled.
"Welcome to the family." Ruwee said offering his hand. Padmé and Sola both squealed when he said this. They jumped up and hugged each other bouncing around the room, forgetting for just a moment that they were grown adults. Anakin was pulled into a hug from Jobal. Ryoo and Pooja looked around, confused as to why the normally calm people were all screaming and shouting. They weren't complaining though and it only took a minute for them to join in with them. Laseo was the only one who wasn't happy for the couple. He sat on the couch looking furious and while the others were celebrating he was quickly thinking of a way he could win Padmé back.

Anonymous – I definitely plan to keep Laseo a part of the story. As for longer chapters I think this one is longer, I know they are so short but now I'm on summer vacation hopefully I'll be able to make them longer.
