Chapter 2 – The Good News, the Bad Dream…

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Star wars/ Star wars characters…even though…I wish I had my very own Anakin…sob, sob…

As soon as Anakin had landed the half-together ship, there was soon a large ceremony to welcome back the Supreme Chancellor, and a farewell to the galaxy's killer…Count Dooku. While Obi Wan Kenobi was in another one of his important meetings with Mast Yoda and Master Windu, Anakin had other plans. Walking along side the Chancellor, his advisors and with also C3PO and R2D2 – two droids who helped the Jedi but also the 2 best friends that Anakin had once ever had. Noticing a sly wink from Palpatein who was now up ahead – Anakin slowed his pace to almost a complete stop, with both C3PO and R2D2 beside him.

"Sir…Miss. Padme' awaits you" the protocol-droid in its now shiny gold armor plates had remarked after the group of others had gone out of sight.

"Good, lead me to…huh!" Anakin replied, as he noticed another being behind a near-by pillar.

"Padme'!" – he raced over to the being, and sure enough it was her, wrapping his arms around his wife and gazing into her eyes, when once his smile and now faded

"What is it? There's something wrong isn't there…"

"Wha…no, not at all!"

"You're lying! You forget that I can feel it…feel you" he glared, placing his hand on her shoulder and then moving down to her stomach – "I…I can sense…"

"Yes Anakin, my love…I'm pregnant"

"Pregnant! Oh Padme' that's wonderful!"

"I was hoping you'd be happy…" she replied, gently kissing him

Later that night, where the moon of Coruscant was in a high, deep glow…sleeping peacefully in the tower of the Jedi Temple – Padme' in a deep sleep with the cool breeze blowing along her porcilyn like face. While beside her another slept, tossing and turning with the sudden quick breath in and out. Anakin was dreaming…or maybe it was a premonition of some sort, what ever the matter it wasn't helping his sleeping habits.

"You'll be fine…just breath. Yes that's it Padme' your doing great" – a familiar face spoke out, his red beard tangling just around his chin, holding her head up gently when Padme' screamed in pain before saying – "Anakin! I…I love…A…Anakin…Obi Wan, there…there is still hope…this is hope for him…"

Startled by this Anakin woke suddenly, looking over at his sleeping wife on her side, he slowly got up out the bed and walked over to the veranda out near the living room, gazing out at the dark sky, hearing the hover vehicles roar out through the city, when he turned around sensing another presence when he saw Padme' in her pale blue night gown, reaching for his gentle, soft face when he pulled away.

"Ani…What's wrong?" she asked, placing one small framed hand on his shoulder

"Hmmm, it's nothing"

"Ani…if we're going to keep living like this…we need to able to trust each other, to tell each other anything…"

"I…I know…it's only, I don't want this to happen…"

"You don't want what to happen?" she asked gently

"I…I had a dream of you…" he began, turning to face her – "Y…You were dying…during child birth…"

"During child bir…Ani, that wont happen…the temple has the best healers, we'll…I'll be fine"

"No! You don't understand, I…I think this may by a vision…of the future" he replied, stepping away and walking back into the living room with Padme' following him

"Listen, I want you to be careful…very careful…"

"But…we're safe here, surrounded by very important, powerful Jedi…and you. I'm safe here; I assure you…" she began, taking his hand in hers, "Now…please, come back to bed…"

Watching his wife walk back into the bedroom, Anakin took a deep breath – "What's happening to me…I…I don't understand…" he thought before also heading to the bedroom

The next day after having a romantic breakfast, Anakin decided to go seek some guidance from the wisest Jedi master…Master Yoda.

"Hmmm…troubled Anakin, your mind is…" – a green goblin-like being sitting on a hovering chair across from Anakin

"Yes Master…I…I've had a dream…"

"A dream, hmmm" Yoda repeated

"It's a dream…of death, and…and suffering" Anakin stuttered, in his mind he was scared to say this out loud, why? Because ever since he started Jedi training when he was almost 8 years old, all the Master Jedi always said that his fate was clouded by death and suffering…and to be honest he didn't want to get another lecture on that particular topic during this time.

"Death…of a loved one, I sense you have dreamt hmmm?"

"Padme'…my beautiful, forbidden wife" – he thought to himself before saying – "Yes, a friend…I'm not sure if…if it's…"

"A vision, of the future?"

"Well…" he could feel an uneasy lump at the back of his throat, " Yes…"

"Hmmm, hard to say this vision, you have dreamt…" Yoda began, rubbing the tiny grey hairs that covered his pointy green chin.

"Meditate on this, I will":

"Thank you" Anakin greeted, before leaving the room.

"I hope it only is a dream…" he thought, while waiting to see if Obiwan would return from his suspicious meeting, when he didn't Anakin went to see the Chancellor.

Meanwhile

Obiwan and Mace Windu were having a most important chat, about Count Dooku, and the times beginning to be raised.

"It is good that the galaxy is finally rid of one sith, don't you agree?" Obiwan asked, as the two of them were sitting alone in the room where the Jedi council was usually held.

"Hmmm, indeed…but I do worry; about what he said"

"About a sith hiding amongst the Supreme Chancellor and his companions?" Obiwan interrupted

"Hmmmm…it's hard to see whatever is going to come from this, of what will happen…"

"You mean; Master Yoda…can't…predict the future?" Obiwan stuttered with an alarmed tone

"Yes…it's clouded his vision…if we don't find out the truth soon, the Jedi will continue to or may even; be powerless"

"But surely the Chancellor…"

"No! The chancellor is secretly wanting to get rid of us, the Jedi council, that much is sure…so, now do you understand why I do not trust him?"

"Hmmm, yes…but; what about Anakin?"

"What about him? As far as the Jedi council are concerned, he is to dangerous…unpredictable…unqualified to ever become…more than; a Master Jedi…perhaps only good for…a spy!"

"A spy?" Obiwan thought as Master Windu just spoke…
