Epilogue: A New Beginning

Padme Skywalker scooped up the last box from outside before using her free hand to shut the trunk of the speeder. She sighed and turned around flipping her hair over her shoulder and walking into the house. She entered the house and looked around, boxes were spread out everywhere. Padme smiled thinking about Luke and Leia sleeping upstairs and Dorme and Sabe unpacking boxes in the kitchen. They were finally going to have a normal life.

She bent down and placed the box gently on the floor before standing up and dusting off her hands.

"I see you're making progress." A voice from behind her said and it made Padme turn quickly around to see who the visitor was. It wasn't hard for her to think of who it was. Of course by that voice and tone, she already knew.

"Anakin! You're home!" Padme closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms tightly around him. She smiled as she kissed him softly and then let go pulling back to take a look at him. He looked just as he had a month ago. His hair was a little bit longer though.

"I missed you so much Padme." He said and hugged her tightly once more. He let go and looked at the boxes.

"I have missed you also! The twins are upstairs sleeping if you're wondering where they are." Padme smiled and walked towards the main room, where probably most of their time would be spent.

"You know what Anakin?" Padme turned around and looked into her husband's eyes. He shrugged and walked closer to her.

"What angel?"

"We're finally free." She said and walked too Anakin wrapping her arms tightly around him and smiling. "Finally free…"

"Free… I like that." Anakin said and kissed her gently before pulling back and looking straight into her eyes. "I love you Padme."

"I love you too Anakin." She sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. Breathing in deeply she let go and took a step back. Then turned and walked up the steps towards the twin's room. She needed to check on them anyways. She entered the room and looked at the two sleeping forms. She smiled then turned around and closed the door behind her.

"Anakin?" Padme questioned as she entered the main room once more. Anakin turned around and looked at her. He held a picture gently in his hands, his fingers tracing the person's face in the picture. She walked over to Anakin and sat down on the couch next to him.

"What is this?" She questioned and took the picture gently in her hands. She gasped in surprise as she saw herself, a picture that she hadn't seen forever. It was the one of her when they were on the picnic when Anakin was sent to Naboo to protect her. She smiled and handed it to Anakin.

"What are you doing with that picture?" Padme questioned and rested her head on his shoulder as she looked at the photo album in his hands. She looked at the pictures as he flipped the pages.

"Love, these are all old pictures." She said and pulled away to look at him. He shook his head and laughed at her expression.

"I know."

"Why do you keep these old things?" Padme questioned and took one more look at the pictures. They were mostly all of her, but some of them had him in it.

"Because it's a memory of what we use too do and it's what we can use to always remember everything."

"Oh Anakin." She said and brought her hand up to his face gently holding it in her hands. "This is why I love you."

Padme smiled and brought his face closer to hers pulling him into a kiss. She wrapped her arms tightly around him running her fingers through his hair and then let go, looking deeply into his eyes as happy as she could be.

"You are such a hopeless romantic…" Padme stated and laughed as he smiled wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and bringing her closer to him.

"But that's why you love me." He finished for her. He smirked at her. Padme giggled and tried to move away.

"Anakin Skywalker, don't you dare do that." Padme warned as Anakin's hands attack her stomach, tickling her and making her laugh harder.

"Not…. Fair…. Ani!" She said between her laughter.

"Who said I was fair?" He laughed with her until they finally collapsed against the couch Padme falling down on him laughing and out of breath.

"God…. You're lucky you're so handsome." Padme teased and snuggled into her husband happy that he was home with her and the twins…

"Well then thank you, I guess." Anakin laughed and sighed as he felt her breathing slow down in a calm soothing pace.

"Anakin, did you ever think that we'd be there right now?"

"You mean when we were living the apartment?"

"Yes."

"Well of course, I would have loved to go away with you whenever I wanted or come home from a mission to a home with you and our children." Padme looked up at him and smiled.

"I'm so happy with made it."

"Did you ever doubt that we wouldn't?" Anakin questioned and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She sighed and nodded.

"Yes, I didn't think we would make it when I was on Vader's ship."

"Padme…"

"It doesn't matter anymore Anakin, we're here… Finally…. And now we're going to be here forever."

"Just as I would want it too be." Padme laughed as she heard the words that she had said to him a couple of months ago come back at her.

"I never really wanted a big family, but I guess if you wanted too-"

"No angel, whatever you want is fine with me." She kissed his cheek gently and then rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Let's not dwell on the future and just think of the present." Padme answered and Anakin nodded running his fingers through her hair.

"When Luke and Leia get older, maybe we should put them into the Jedi Order."

"I don't think we should decide what they should do in their lives… Let them decide what their lives are about." Anakin said and Padme smiled.

"That will be a great future for them." Padme laughed slightly at that and sighed. "I cannot wait to see what they are like as children!"

Anakin laughed and fingered the jappor pendent. "They'll probably be little angels."

"Probably." Padme ran her fingers up and down his arm gently. "We should unpack some things before we fall asleep."

"I'm exhausted already."

Padme hit Anakin's arm playfully before sitting up and swinging her legs to the side of the couch in effort to get up. "Ok, ok, cancel that idea."

Padme smiled mischievously and ran up the stairs quickly running into their room and falling down on their bed. She sighed. She heard her husband enter the room.

"Ok we'll sleep, but tomorrow we have to unpack." Padme concluded and Anakin nodded falling down beside his wife. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and held her close to him breathing in her scent.

"I love you Anakin."

"I love you too Padme."

And with that, they fell asleep.

NABOO – MAIN BEDROOM – EARLY THE NEXT MORNING

Padme's eyes fluttered open as she turned on her side to look at her husband. Noticing that he was gone, she quickly got up and walked out of her room, her bare feet making no sound on the cold tile floor. She walked into the twins room to find Anakin with Luke and Leia sitting on the couch talking to them softly. She leaned against the door frame crossing her arms across her chest. She smiled watching them.

"Having fun watching us?" Anakin questioned and looked up at Padme.

"Yes, very much actually." Padme laughed and walked to Anakin, sitting down next to him and taking Luke out of his hands. Then she stood up and made her way downstairs.

"Coming love?" Padme questioned as she stopped on the stairs looking at her husband.

"One second!" Anakin said and looked at Leia in his arms. "You're going to be very powerful one day Leia."

Leia giggled and let her father hold her with his mechanical hand as they walked down the stairs. Anakin walked into the kitchen where he placed Leia in the high chair and crossed the kitchen over to his wife, turning her around and kissing her.

"Good morning to you too." Padme said and kissed him again before turning back around to finishing the breakfast. Padme finished and brought it over to the twins which they ate happily. After a little while, Padme took the twins and placed them into a play pen as the two parents got ready to unpack.

"Well the kitchens all done and we can thank Sabe and Dorme for that later… Now all we have to do is unpack the rest of the house!" Padme said and laughed as she looked at her husband looking at the boxes with confusion.

"Are you ready Anakin Skywalker?"

"The question is, are you ready Padme Skywalker?" Anakin questioned and Padme nodded walking over too him with a box in her hand. She handed it too him and kissed him.

"Prepare yourself." Padme laughed and walked over to her box. Unpacking things and arguing over what to keep and where to put what, was normal for the two of them.

They laughed about stuff they thought they didn't even keep and smiled at the new things in their life. Like the pictures of the twins at the apartment for the first time.

So this was their life and their family, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Skywalker. And now nothing could tear them apart ever again.
