Ok here is the next chapter. The next one, hehehe. I know one thing. This story is going take about 25-30 chapters to complete. What was suppose to be a short story is turing into a mini novel.
"Good Morning Padme. Sorry, no change in Anakin" Naporta reported.
"Thank You. I'll go to Anakin now. Padme said and turning to Obi-Wan, "Give me an hour and then I'll talk to you."
"Ok Padme. I need to do a few things" as he watches her go into Anakin's room. Then turning to Naporta "She knows what happened to Anakin. She said it wasn't murder"
"Then what happened? Oh No! Did Anakin take the Galeriana willing?"Naporta, shaking her head.
"I hope not. Anakin didn't seem suicidal."Obi-Wan remarked.
"Good morning Anakin, "Padme whisper, and went over to him and gave him a kiss."I found your note. Ani, why didn't you tell me. We could have escape. Could have gone back to Naboo. Anakin, I'm afraid you lost your bet."
For an hour, you set with him. Not saying much. More of thinking on how to break the news to Obi-Wan, then how to get Anakin back to Naboo.
"Padme? are you ready to talk" Obi-Wan, standing at the doorway.
"Yes, let me get something out my bag"Padme gets the note out and walks toward Obi-Wan."Lets not talk here please."
Obi-Wan follows Padme to a bench in the hallway. Letting her sit down and took her hand into his."What happened to Anakin"he asks?
"Apparently he took the Galeriana to escape the pressure he was dealing with. It wasn't a suicide attempt. He expected to recover in one or two weeks. He felt like no one was listening to him. He thought by doing this, maybe then, the Jedi and Palpatine would listen to him. Here read the note.
Obi-Wan took the note, unfolded it and read it. Padme watches him and watches his anger grow."Damn it, I told the council not to use Anakin like this! They wouldn't listen to me. I beg them. Well, now they can deal their mess! Oh I would love nothing more but to go somewhere and not have to deal with this. The Council, not Anakin."Obi-wan sharply whispers, handing her back the note."He probably waited until I was gone to pull this"
"Could it possible that I could speak to the Council? I have to go back to Naboo soon. I would like to take Anakin with me. He'll get better care there. I might be able to get him into the Thapsus Center. It would just make it easier for me to care for Anakin"Padme quietly said and added "Beside isn't that the wife's job to do, care for her ill husband"
"Husband!You and Anakin are married! I though you and Anakin were just lovers. Well that made things interesting and complicated."Obi-Wan laughing."Great they are married. I'm going hear about from the Council. In the name of the force, they richly deserve it"he thought.
"All right I'll see what I can do. Oh good news, you don't have to go back your apartment, if you don't mind, you can stay in Anakin's room or somebody else room. Just let me know" Obi-Wan told her.
"I'll stay in Anakin room"
"Ok, I'll just go through and make sure he doesn't have something dangerous there. We had one his droid he was fixing, go berserk. No we don't need you get hurt. Though he seem to stop doing some of his wild projects"
"Actually, he didn't stop. He just move his projects to the apartment. After he install a force field on the door to his room"Padme giggle "His current project was planning C-3PO overhaul. Much annoyance of C-3PO"
"Well I leave you and get ready the room. then I'll see about the council. wish me luck" Obi-Wan said
"Good luck"Padme answer and catching one the other Healers, she ask if she could talk to Naporta again. When Naporta came. Padme told her what really happen.
"What was he thinking, why couldn't Anakin stick to his fighter. Well the deed is done. I'll go to the Archives and put a warning about the Galeriana. Don't need another. Thank you. As moving Anakin. it's a tab risky right now. I would wait at least a week. I prefer if he was off the breather. However, I will support you bid to move Anakin."Naporta answer.
"Thank You so much" Padme, as she return to Anakin."Well you're in a coma and still causing trouble. I'm waiting for Obi-Wan to return with news. One way or another. you going back with me and then I'm going place you in the Thasus Center. Then we'll take it from there. Ouch, yes a nice kick, Thank You. Mother going sit down now"
Which you do. holding Anakin still hand. Not much more was spoken. Thanking the padawan, who brought you some tea. Adding a few more words to Naporta conversation
"Well when need a council member, they seem to disappear or they are avoiding me. Obi-Wan mused. "Hmm this not good, nobody really wants to deal with me."after talking to a few the Jedi Knights.
"Ah Master Mace-Windu, can I have a few words with you?"Obi-Wan, trying not to sound to annoyed.
"Yes Obi-Wan. What can I do for you? Has Senator Amidala return to the temple"
"Yes, she with Anakin right now. In fact she would like to speak with council today. So can a meeting be arrange for this afternoon. She got a few words to say and request for the council to hear"Obi-Wan smirking.
"Yes it can be arrange. I'll let you know the time" Mace said coolly.
"Thank You, if you don't mind. Padme will spend the night here. So I have get Anakin room ready for her"
Mace watch Obi-Wan walk away and thought"Why do I feel I'm going regret this.
Obi-Wan punch the code to Anakin room. Stepping in. he was shock how tidy it was."Clearly this wasn't a sudden decision"Then went over to Anakin's work table. "Good nothing here, I don't want to touch anything"Opening up a box. Obi-Wan takes out the lightsaber and hooks to his belt."One the twins will get it, if Anakin- No Obi -Wan, be positive about him. You owe him so much. In the way, you betrayed him"
"Master Obi-Wan"a padawan ask
"Ah Juska, you can this as a guest quarters if you please. Ok, I need to put his lightsaber in my quarters"Obi-Wan directed, then left the room.
So you walk down the hallway back to Padme. You can't help notice the glances your getting."So let it be"Obi-Wan thought"I'm doing this for Anakin and Padme. Well they will Anakin kick out the order now. it will be the best for them. Go back to Naboo and stay there. Jedi Order will regret later and so will I. I fail Anakin. Then you punch your code for your door. walk in and put his lightsaber next to your spare and vow to make another one for the other twin.
Padme was eating her lunch when Obi-Wan came back. By the look on his face, she knew was going face the Jedi Council.
"The meeting is set for one."
Ok I'll be ready"
