Sorry I've taken so long on this. I was out of town almost every week all summer and now I'm back to school. On top of an evil English teacher, supporting role in the fall play, upcoming choir performances, my ex who I still care about alot has started his six months in Iraq. I need to do this to keep my mind off of the last bit. I'm gonna start you off with a trailor I made for this. You need to use your imagination ; )

Dreaming of You Trailor

Across the Stars plays

Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala splash each other in a Nubian lake.

VO: Darth Vader

I thought you were lost to me forever,

Uninjured Vader wakes from a dream

VO cont:

That my dreams came from a guilty soul,

Fade in on Darth Vader and Bail Organa

VO cont: I was wrong.

Vader: Who's awake, Viceroy Organa?

VO: Padme

No you're not, Anakin was my husband. You're Darth Vader!

Padme Amidala wakes up in a hospital bed.

Padme and Vader embrace

Padme: Oh Ani I've missed you so much.

Text:

You lose what you cling to.

I'm also planning a sequel, it shouldn't be too far off, there are only a few more chapters to this one.

Chapter Two - Imperial Family

A few days later Darth Vader emerged from the towering white palace along with Padme and their daughter, Leia. Once onboard the shuttle that would take them to his ship, he spoke.

"I told you it would be a girl." Padme laughed, letting the toddler climb from her lap onto the floor.

"You were right. Maybe I'll get my sandy-haired son one day."

"I'll be happy to oblige." He captured her mouth in a passionate kiss that was soon interupted by little hands tugging on his dark tunic.

"Daddy!" Bail and Breha had told them that she had never called them mommy or daddy, but upon meeting Vader and Padme had taken to them more than she had to her adoptive parents.

"She's taken after you, she knows who her parents are." She said with a smile on her face, watching her husband take the little girl in his arms.

"And she looks like you. We're together again, this time there are no Jedi to keep us apart." Padme's jaw dropped.

"What happened to the Jedi?" She asked, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.

"They tried to overthrow the Chancellor and take control of the Senate, the Republic. I remained loyal and was spared when the Jedi were eliminated."

"And Obi-Wan?"

"He tried to kill us, he is the reason you don't remember those last days. I would've killed him myself but he ran like the coward he was. I can only assume that he is dead, if not, he will be soon. The Emperor's troops are all over the galaxy searching for any remaining Jedi scum." Padme looked down at his lap where their daughter sat looking up at her. As strange as it sounded, she had no reason to doubt her husband's story. She was glad that there was no one to interfer with their happiness now, but part of her couldn't help but wonder if he had all his facts straight. Obi-wan had been their friend, had he really tried to kill them and their unborn daughter? It didn't feel right. Maybe one day she would know for sure.

The next day they boarded the shuttle once more. Once outside the confines of the ship she could see her home planet spread beneath them.

"I thought you would like to see your family." He said, placing an arm around her shoulders, while holding Leia in his other arm.

"You thought right." They sat playing with Leia while entering the planet's atmosphere, once landed Padme could hardly wait to set foot on Naboo.

"Mommy!" Leia said in her father's arms, reaching out for Padme who happily took her. "Pretty." She said, placing her tiny hand on her mother's face.

"That's right Leia." Vader said, leading the way off the shuttle, "Mommy's very pretty." From the outskirts of Theed they headed to the Naberrie home. The moment they turned onto the stone walkway leading to her childhood home, they could hear the voices of her young nieces.

"Ryoo, Pooja! It's time for lunch!" The couple knew the voice belonged to her elder sister, Sola. Darth Vader entered the courtyard first. Sola looked him over from her place at the top of the steps. "What are you doing here?" She asked nervously. He didn't answer, her long lost baby sister came to stand beside him.

"Hello, Sola." Padme said, passing Leia off to Vader and rushing up the stairs.

"We thought you were dead!" Sola cried as the two embraced. Ryoo and Pooja ran from around the far corner, seeing Vader first.

"Ani!" They said together, rushing to him. After hugging his legs they looked up to see Padme.

"Aunt Padme!" Ryoo exclaimed, a smile on her face. Ryoo, Pooja, Sola, Padme, Vader and Leia went into the house to see Ruwee and Jobal.

That night after a tearful reunion and a feast, Padme and Vader retired to her untouched room. While Leia slept in the middle of the bed and Padme sat at her vanity Vader walked down the hallway and looked out the living room window.

"She doesn't know who you are, does she?" It was Ruwee, "She doesn't know that you've become a Sith."

"No, she doesn't. And she won't." He answered, still looking straight ahead at the yard.

"You can't lie to her." Vader turned to face him.

"Do you think I like lying to her? It would kill her to know what I am, what I have done. She doesn't remember, but she was ready to leave me when the Jedi told her that I had turned."

"One day she will remember." Without another word, Ruwee turned and walked away. After he heard the master bedroom door shut, he started back upstairs to his wife's room.

"There you are, I was wondering if you had gotten lost." She joked quietly as she brushed her hair.

"I wanted to see if the backyard was like I remembered it. I hadn't seen it in five years."

"Was it?"

"Almost." Soon after they went to bed, on either side of their sleeping toddler. Vader smiled as he drifted off to sleep, no one could take away his family. Soon, they would be the Imperial family, it wouldn't be long until he took his master's place as the Emperor and his beautiful angel became the Empress.

I hope that this wasn't too disappointing, and it was worth the almost four month wait. I'm not the kind of author who updates on a regular basis, but I am going to finish this one and its sequels eventually.
