Another 10 years later

Vader stared into hyper-space, stunned by the news his master told him. A son? Something about this wasn't right. Yet he knew it was true.

He couldn't understand how could the baby survive, and Padmé didn't? Vader tried to forget about it, he had tried his best to ignore Padmé. It was working, since he rarely remembered what she looked like.

Someone he knew reminded him of her, he couldn't think who.

He sighed and drifted into a day dream, another one of his favourite moments.

FLASHBACK

Anakin held both of Padmé's hands gently. He couldn't believe they were just about married. He knew he would marry her since the moment he saw her.

The naboo priest finished saying the ancient texts of marriage, and left them to enjoy their first kiss as husband and wife.

Anakin pressed his lips against hers, they were soft and sweet. Just like before, when they confessed. He could feel Padmé tremble.. he knew she was afraid, yet she was giving it all she had.

She was making the moment a memory, one he would never ever forget in his whole life.

Anakin and Padmé opened their eyes and slowly backed their heads away. He turned to face the view of the mountains, this was everything he had wanted. Nothing could compare to Padmé, there was nothing else he needed.

" I love you Padmé, and I never want to let you go. "Anakin finally said.

Padmé turned to face him. Her eyes smiled just as big as her lips.

" You will always have my love. " she whispered, and hugged him tight.

END OF FLASHBACK

" Lord Vader! The bounty hunters have arrived. " the admiral disrupted Vader's thoughts.

" Bring them in. " he ordered. One by one the bounty hunters walked in the control room, facing Darth Vader.

He paced around the bounty hunters.. noting each one he saw.

" There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the millennium falcon, " he began.

" You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. "

Vader stopped pacing and stood in front of one bounty hunter named Bobba Fett.

" And no disintegrations! " he finished.

" As you wish. " Fett responded.

The rest of the bounty hunters nodded and were motioning to leave, when the commander interrupted.

" My lord! We have them. "

Vader smiled. ' At last. My son will be turned to the dark side, and we will be able to crush the rebellion. ' he thought.

He hoped he would join the dark side, he didn't want to see his son die.

This boy could be the only memory of Padmé left.
