My thanks to Starclipper01 for giving me such good constructive criticism. Yes, you're right, I am short with my description because that is my writing style. I already had the idea of R2 having recorded Ani and Padme's wedding scene, I'm glad you like the idea too.

And also thanks to: Jokerisdaking, Natalie-Corr , Slade's Downfall, and Piper Halliwell2

You guys make me want to update all the time! But too bad finals make me update less!

Chapter 4: Revelations

Jobal's hand flew to her chest. Ruwee stepped up closer beside her and shook his head.

"No, it can't be. Padme's been dead almost twenty years, boy. But you…" Ruwee's eyes brightened and he lifted his hand, only to let it drop back to his side.

Luke nodded. "We know. According to my R2 unit, Padme was married to Anakin Skywalker, our father." Luke glanced at Leia who was biting her lip. Han was watching with an expression of pain. His hand rested lightly on Leia's back.

R2 beeped and rolled forward next to Luke.

Jobal's hand flew to her face. "They were married but we didn't know until after she…" Jobal's hands now covered her whole face as she cried. Ruwee patted her back but glared at Luke.

"Listen, your father might have had other women and one of them might have been your mother. We've suffered enough with him coming around here after she died."

"What?" Luke's eyes widened. "Anakin came here after she'd died?"

"No, not Anakin. That thing he became: Darth Vader. He came here, asking questions and threatening."

Jobal wiped her face. "You see, we didn't know she was pregnant either. The baby died with her. She was still pregnant when we saw her at the funeral."

Luke's brow furrowed. He looked down at R2.

"R2 has been having trouble with recovering his memory…"

Leia huffed out a breath. "Look, you even said as we came up the steps that I looked familiar. You can deny it all you want, and I'm sorry, but we are Padme's children." Han patted her on the back in support.

Jobal and Ruwee stood mouths agape. After a moment of shocked silence, Jobal backed up and motioned into the house.

"Please, come in where we can talk more about this. " She turned to Jobal and nodded. "We need to talk to them. We should go get Sola."

"I'll get her," Ruwee said. He shuffled off past them, down the street to the door next to the house.

Luke let R2 in first, then followed. Han pushed Leia gently into the room. Leia kept her arms folded but walked obediently in to the massive home.

Inside there was a homey warm feeling, but a sense of wear. The couches were lined up across form each other, and patterned in a light blue print. The pillows were faded from the rest of the couch and thrown in mismanaged piles. Jobal led them to the couches and sat across from them. Luke took the center, and Leia took a seat next to him. Han remained standing.

"Hey uh, maybe I should…" Han pointed to the door.

"No, you're staying." Leia patted the couch seat next to her. "This is Han."

Jobal nodded and tried to smile at him. "I'm sorry if I-"

"There's no need, ma'am."

"Well I, don't know where to start."

"We should probably ask R2 for some type of proof," Leia said. R2 beeped in response.

Luke shifted towards the droid. "R2, is there anything you could show us or tell us that would be good proof?"

R2 whirred and beeped and moved back and forth.

"You have what?"

The door opened and made everyone turn and miss R2's response. Ruwee walked in with a middle aged woman behind him. Her eyes were red and tears were spilling down her face. She glanced hesitantly around the room at Luke and Leia. When she spotted Leia she broke down. Ruwee patted her back and led her to the couch next to her mother.

"This is Sola," Ruwee started, "Padme's sister."

"Well R2 says he has a recording of something…I'm not sure if it's exactly proof."

Sola spoke up. "We don't need proof. Mom, dad…can't you see?" She motioned towards Luke and Leia. "They look just like Padme…"

"R2, why don't you play that message?" Luke patted R2 on his dome.

R2 made some noises and then a blue light appeared on the coffee table between the opposing couches. Two figures appeared: one in Jedi robes, and one in a long white gown. Sola gasped.

"My word, it's Padme. And Anakin." Luke and Leia both leaned in closer.

The couple took each other's hands and then leaned in for a kiss. The couple stared into the sunset for a moment then Anakin spoke.

"No regrets?" He stroked Padme's face.

"None." She shook her head and then smiled. Anakin picked her up and turned, they heard Padme yelp in surprise, then the transmission stopped.

Luke and Leia turned to Sola and the rest. They were all sadly looking at one another. Sola's expression suddenly hardened and she turned to Luke.

"Damn him. Damn him for doing that to her…and for gaining her trust."
Leia furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?"

"He plays a good part but I know what was inside him. He may have married her, and got her pregnant, but he didn't truly love her."

"How can you say that when you just saw…" Luke trailed off but was interrupted when Sola stood up.

"Because he killed her!"
