Chapter 14 -

Fan Fiction and me are having different views on what chapter it is. So this really Chapter 14. And yes I skip 13, just had a bad feeling about it.

Thank you Anakin's Girl for the reviewed

Niraha & Kal's Gal, where you two go?

Remember the italic parts are Anakin's voice


"Finally! We are Home!" Padme exclaimed, looking out the window. No, she wasn't going back to Coruscant. She was done with that and all she wanted now was Anakin to hold her again.

"Milady. They are going to take Anakin off first. Then you can get off." Captain Typho said waiting for her to explode on hearing that.

"What? I guess they were afraid I'll make a scene with the restraints. I wish they let me be with him. Maybe I could keep him calm while they moved him. Guess I have no choice."Padme said. "Are the people from the Nasur Center here?"

"Yes, they are the ones who are handling Anakin. Also, your family is here too." Typho getting out the way for her father.

"Padme" Ruwee as he walked in.

"Dad!" Padme cried out. Walking to her Father, giving him a long overdue hug.

"Everything will be all right, my daughter. You did the right thing bringing Anakin here. So you did marry that Jedi of yours and he made a grandfather too." Ruwee holding his daughter. "Come, they should be done by now."

"Yes, let's go. Artoo and C-3PO, follow me and keep quiet!"

Ruwee lead his daughter to the landing platform. There, Anakin was being loaded into a carrier from the center. Ruwee held his daughter a little tighter. Then Obi-Wan made a motion that he going with the center crew.

Movement again
Lifting up and floating.

Then it's repeated.

"Hello MìKana" Padme to her brother-in-law.

"Hello Padme. Let me take the droids back to the house."

"Good idea, though you might regret later. C-3PO, Artoo! Go with MìKana and behave yourself please."Padme ordered, not turning to watch them leave.

"Padme come" Ruwee directing his daughter to the speeder. Padme said nothing as watch the carrier leave. The sights of Theed's were no interested to her. Until they reach the Nasur Center.

"Here we are."

"Yes, finally."Padme stepping down and stifling a yawn.

"I saw that."Obi-Wan pointing his finger at her.

"Yes, soon as Anakin is settled in. She going home to bed." Ruwee answered.

Movement again
Lift up and moved.

Where, all still grey.
No, not right.

"Take those restraints off now." Padme order. "He doesn't like them" as she watch him struggled against them.

Jeral and Muxa look at Obi-Wan for help.

"Relax Padme. They will be off soon and let them put Anakin in his room first. Then they take the restraints off of him."Obi-Wan trying reassured her.

"Padme, they are only trying prevent Anakin from hurting himself."Ruwee, trying the I'm your father approached.

Padme didn't say anything more, as she watched them take the restraints off and transfer Anakin to his new bed. Then she went over to him and straightened up the covers and once again fixed his hair. "Anakin, you need a haircut." Padme glanced around the room. Making a note, a few things from home, would make this a tab more homely for him. She knew it was a long term care for him. But it was in her heart that Anakin would recover fully. The Galeriana level had dropped a bit. Wasn't that the hope she needed now? Anakin was finally here now but that wasn't the guaranteed she needed this hour.

"Milady Skywalker, I noticed you finally arrived to the Center." The director, Keele Suma said.

"Yes. I'm glad to be home. I'm sure once he gets up."Padme, pointing her finger at Anakin. "He'll agree too. However right now, he is a coma and has no idea where he is."

"Well, we will discuses Anakin's care tomorrow. You had a long journey and rough coupled of days." Suma said. "Goodnight Milady Skywalker."

"Yes, we will be taking her home now."Ruwee, appearing at the door with Obi-Wan.

"Be with you in a second."Padme answered back. "Goodnight Anakin, my love. See you in the morning." Giving him a kiss goodbye. "Anakin, your lips are chapped again. Poor Ani."

What touch me as you felt something.
You look around and notice a slight change.

Good or bad, you don't know
as you turn to walk again.

As she left him, a thought came to her."Naboo is where we started. If this the end. Let it be here."


"Milady Skywalker, hmm that has a nice ring to it."Obi-Wan teasing her, as he helped into the speeder.

"Shut up Kenobi" Padme jabbing him with her elbow.

"Ouch! Ok enough for tonight. Well you don't have worry Anakin tonight. He is safe at the center."

"I notice the Jedi Knight were on guard."Padme said.

"Just be on the side of caution with Sith Lord stuff. The Council idea. They are only staying for a few days, then the Naboo security can take over if needed. Notice, who got stuck with you." Obi-Wan shot back. He couldn't resist another jab at Padme, anything to get her to laugh.

Padme laughed at that. She knew he rather stayed with Anakin. Soon they were at the house. Already, the yard with sounds of her nieces and nephew playing with C-3PO and Artoo.

"Having fun C-3PO. Hello Artoo." As she patted on his head

"They are most lively at this hour." He answered trying to kick a ball.

"Aunt Padme, Aunt Padme," Pooja, Ryoo and Nicona called out. "How Anakin? Is he awake yet?"

"Hello, my threesome, No Anakin is not awake yet. It will be another couple weeks yet and it's Uncle Anakin from now. Ok. Come on lets go inside the house."Padme said.

Padme interduce Obi-Wan to her Mother and Sobal. Then she shows him his room. "Oh yes my Mom went a tab overboard with room. I told her to keep it simple for you."

"It's fine Padme." He said as he started to unpack his stuff.

"Padme. Obi-Wan and everybody else. Time to eat." Sobal called out.

The rest of the night was really uneventful. A discussion where to keep the droids was a funny one. As those two broke into a quarrel for the third time. Then more laughter as Obi-Wan and Mi'Kana separated them.

"Artoo, behave yourself or I'll send you back to the Temple. Now stay in this room and don't come out until I tell you too."Obi-Wan ordering him, pointing his finger at the door.

"Come on C-3PO you can spend the night in the den." Mi'Kana grabbing his arm. "No more whose fault it is either."

"Don't ask what has gotten into them. The reason I can think of, is they are worried about Anakin. After all they are his droids. I gave Artoo to Anakin and I just watch C-3PO." Padme suggested. Then she said her goodnight to everybody and headed for her room. There she pulls out Anakin's nightshirt out her bag. As she pulls the covers over her.A conversation kept paying in her mind

"What is it Anakin? You been quiet all evening"

"When are you going back to Naboo? Enough is enough. I have enough on my mind without worrying about you and the baby. Please go back Naboo." Anakin, staring at her then turning his head away.

"Ani! -"

"Don't call me Ani!" he said "Don't treat me like one your fellow senators."he mumbled under his breath.

"Anakin, just another month please! There's couple's thing in the Senate I must vote on. Maybe it will stop the war."

"Padme Skywalker. This war not going end with votes and yes I would love if it would end now. But it's not going stop tomorrow or in the near future. Only thing that will make it easier for me, if you go back to Naboo. For at least for my sake."he said, getting up and pacing the room.

"Anakin I can't. I have to try this It's just another month. If this, don't work. I will go back home. Ani I'm doing this for you. So you stop the fighting and leave the Jedi Order. Which I know you want to do. Then we can go home together. We'll go to the villa for the year. Please Anakin understand." Padme argued back as she walked towards him.

"No! Enough Padme!" Anakin grabbing her arms "There are things that going on you don't know about. I'm caught between rock and a hard place. The only ray of light I see with this, is you and the baby."

"Anakin what is going on. I wish you would tell me. The real reason, why you want me to return to Naboo." as she stroked his face.

"That's the real reason Padme. I want you to have this baby on Naboo. Also I don't have to worry about you if I'm away. You'll be with your family. Please just go." Anakin breaking away from her and sitting back down.

"Ani" Padme said. "I'll return to Naboo in few weeks. I promise." As she kissed him goodnight.

Anakin didn't say anything. Only did he sense she was asleep. Did he get up and headed for his work room. There, he broke one of his promises to himself. He promised not to use Peyhol while home.

But you kept a supplied home, knowing the temptation would be there. You only kept one blue tablet out all the colors it came in. As you pop it your mouth, you held the bottle of Galeriana which you also kept there too. Rocking it back and forth, counting the waves you form. Then returning to bed you shared with your wife. Falling asleep and feeling like a bastard.

"Anakin, I'm sorry. My poor Ani, why didn't listen to you."Padme crying herself to sleep.
