It had been 5 months sincethe Outer Rim sieges and the two powerful Jedi were still not back. Rumors were being spread that Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the legendary Anakin Skywalker had been taken captive, or maybe even killed. Some said that Anakin and Obi-Wan were in hiding. Whatever was going on with them, it made a few people worried.

The senators were of course worried about the fact that two powerful members of the Jedi Council were missing, but they had to focus more so on the attack of the Separatists. Naturally, the days went by slow and Padme grew sick with worry more and more. There was a secret as well, that she was hiding, and she hid it carefully.

Padme was pregnant. No one knew, and she itched with urge to explode with joy to someone about her baby, which she felt was a boy. The young woman sat inside her apartment on a soft couch and gazed lovingly at her growing stomach. A smile grew on Padme's face as she could just imagine the child.

A son. How happy Anakin would be! There would be no doubt about it that he'd be a great Jedi warrior, and have excellent language ability as well as mechanical. He would have dirty blond hair, just like Anakin's and maybe light brown eyes, like his mothers. Maybe even crystal blue eyes. Oh the possibilities of having a darling son.

But what if it was a daughter? Padme smiled at this thoughtand closed her pretty eyes slowly. She would no doubt have beautiful brown hair, and milky brown eyes. Her skin would be cream colored, and she'd be intelligent and well known in politics. Yes, she might even be a senator like me. How lovely she would be.

Padme slowly drifted off to sleep, not realizing that a young girl looked at her in awe.
