Mr Firenze Thank You for your comment, it made my day.

I have posted Chapter 15 and part of Chapter 16. I'll post the rest of 16 tomorrow. Right now I'm writing Chapter 20, Poor Ani- This is turning into a long story. Sorry about this. But it's the only way I can tell this story.

Reminder All the italics are either Anakin's voice or what he is experiencing

Chapter 15

Padme smiled for a moment or two as she open her eyes. Home, she is home. Back on Naboo, sleeping on her own bed. But the love of her life, was sleeping in another bed. Only his movement, is the sign he was still living. She hated those two days where Anakin just lay there. How many times did she say "Please don't die on me?" More fearful for the twins, knowing the Jedi Order might claim them. But Obi-Wan promise that wouldn't happen. However, there was a more important thing on her mind.-

Breakfast!
Thanks to the twins.

"Padme I was hoping you would sleep another hour."Jobal said, slightly annoyed at her daughter.

"Sorry, the twins want some breakfast."

"Now that's a cute answer." Ruwee remark.

"I'll have your breakfast ready in a couple minutes."Jobal handing her a roll.

"Thank You! At least the late night munches have stopped. Anakin was sneaking some stuff from the Temple for me to eat." Padme between bites.

"Can he cook?" Jobal asked.

"Yes and no. As long I'm there giving him direction, he is good. There is no cooking class at the Temple. So in a pinch, Anakin goes out and gets something good." Padme chuckling as she reaches for plate of food.

When she was done eating. she went upstairs and got dress. Obi-Wan was out in the garden mediating.

Two hours later, she and Obi-Wan were heading for the Nasur Center.

"Milady Skywalker. The doctor would like to talk to you first, if you don't mind." The nurse told her.

"Certainly." And under her breath. "Might as well get this part over this."

"Good Morning Milady Skywalker. I'm Doctor K'̀amott. Hopefully you had a pleasant first night home. We examined Master Skywalker this morning. Unfortunately he's still in a deep coma. Thanks to Galeriana. However, that's slowly leaving his cells. Now what worry's me, what state he'll be in, when he wakes up. Between the Medical Center at Alea and Jedi's Archives, there's not much. But Healer Ohnoga on Alea, noticed there similarity between Galeriana and Odayea poisoning." K'amott, stopping to take a breath." Both poison stay in the cells, causing unconscious or in the case a coma. The good news, the more conscious Anakin becomes, the faster the Galeriana will leaves. And since he is becoming more active with his movements. I'm pretty sure he will emerge from the coma. It's the just the when part that's got us stumped right now. A therapist will come in the morning and move his limbs around a bit more. Just prevent further muscle lost. Also he'll note how Anakin will reacted to this. The more Anakin responds, the better idea we have of what state of conscious he's in. However once he wakes up. we'll be facing another set of problems. With Odayea poison, people who suffer from it. where active in the coma part but when they emerge from it. They lost some motor skills. and I'm afraid that will happen to Anakin. Which he will have to be relearn through therapy. Any question?"

"What state will Anakin be mentally when he wakes up. Will recognize me or remember anything from his life." Padme quickly asked.

"He should be fine in that area, the Galeriana just seems to affect the motor skills. What didn't help Anakin, was his heart stopping. That made things a tab worse for him."

"Not as bad as the discussion I'm going have with him, when he gets up." Padme thought. "However." She said aloud "Anakin is a fighter. I'm sure he'll make a complete recovery. Well at least 98 percent. Granted he 's not going get up tomorrow and do a little lightsaber practice. But I'm hopeful."

"Well like I said, it's a waiting game. However there's a possible of Anakin getting sicker. There is that chance of him catching something. The immune system is compromise but that's a risk that all these patients faced." K'amott said.

"Ok. I don't need that." Obi-Wan remarked.

"We both don't need that." Padme answered back and thought. "Please Anakin don't do this to me. I need you now. Oh Ani."

"Well I let you go to Anakin now."K'̀amott said quietly.

"Thank You" Obi-Wan helping Padme up.

"Ok. That's done with. Good Morning Anakin." Padme as she kisses him. Then went into her bag for the lip balm.

"What's mattered, don't like kissing chapped lips?" Obi-Wan watching her.

"Not really"

Walking through the greyness
and the black hand reaches up and covers your face.

What?
You jerk away.

"Cooperate today, please!" Padme as she finishes up her treatment. "Ugh! I hope Ani doesn't get too wild later on. Hated to see him in restraints."

"I don't know Padme. I wish I had the answer to Anakin's life. There are a few questions waiting for him when he wakes up."Obi-Wan shrugging his shoulder, looking at the window.

Noises
What is this?

Is this the blackness or the answer?
Still don't what I am.

All I see is greyness
with blackness trying to harm me.
Or this the way to the answer.

Tired again.

The rest the day was spent watching Anakin and being there. Padme looks her husband, wondering what other demons he had faced. So much is unknown about her Anakin. She knew there where times he threw up a shield around him. He had come to terms with his Mother's death and his actions. But she also knew, that Anakin wished he knew his father or at least knew what his name was. Shimi's steadfast silence on that issue, had hurt him. That was really was the question that haunted him.

Later, she went home, had her dinner and went to bed.

In a bed she is tired
of sleeping alone.

Chapter 16

So the first week, all seven days were pretty much the same. Getting up, eating breakfast. either spending the morning with Anakin or resting. Then the switch, spending the afternoon with Anakin and catching up with your Jedi studies. Or was it keeping your mind off about your life.

Republic survived the Sith attack. Granted nothing was the same but life goes on. The twins grew more while their father recover. Yet they didn't know their father. They might have sense, him when he made contact with them through the Force. Seeing if they were boy or a girl. Only to shock him when he realized he was getting both. Then calming them down so their mother could sleep some more at night.

Yet luck was on their side. They never sense the pain their Father was experiencing. Being torn between two factors, who had no regard for his feelings. Feeling only bliss when he popped a Peyhol or a rare moment with Padme. Also the doubts he had on being a father, the little though that grew inside his mind. As he searched the Archives for information about Jedi twins, only to found out that last pair was hundred years ago. So Father settle for any information, hoping that the searches weren't be recording. Oh course, Obi-Wan noticed the time spent there. Anakin claims he was helping Padme with something and Obi-Wan said no more. After that, he felt terrible alone in the world.

Stepping out to the balcony, where he watch Corscant go by. Finally feeling some pure joy one night. When he made the decision to tried the Galeriana, knowing the risk. But he was back into a corner and decide to gamble his way out.

There was only one day , that was sorta stood out. Someone realize that part Of a form does not respond to him.

Blackness, once again.
out corner of your eye. You see it.
Stretching out.

Could name after some animal
you seen, But you don't remember any.

You look down at arm,
well you remember something.
The right one

does not respond to you.

With the left hand, you touch it
and feel nothing

Yet it's there.

So for a day, One foot was used
and you kick the blackness away.

"Whoa, watch it! Anakin I really hope that wasn't for me.?"Trameri asked.

"I don't think so."Obi-Wan as he help with the morning therapy."Then again" and breaking into laughter.

Again, the hand doesn't respond With your left,
you tried to feel it, seeing what is wrong.


Nothing-

but hardness and the blackness
creeping back.

"Now give me back your arm." Trameri as his grabs it. "Ok shall we move this around. Good. Good. Excuse me those are my fingers you're trying to break."

A thin line of black creeps into your left hand.
which you just squeeze to death.

At least

you think that's what you think you are doing.

"Here." Obi-Wan said trying to pried Anakin's fingers from Trameri's

"Lucky for me I'm use to this. Plus his mechanical hand is off."

"Yes for now, it's off. When he wakes up, we'll turn it back on. Leave to Anakin to have an on and off switch. He always tinkering with it. Trying to make it better. He talk about going someplace. I forget the name. And having a different cover put on." Obi-Wan said.

"Well I notice he has been feeling it with the other hand. Maybe he sensing it off."

"Unfortunately, it has to stay off. More for safety reason. Who knows, he could reach up and grab you by the throat." Obi-Wan suggested.

"No thank you."

And you watch the blackness
slip away from you.

There will be another time.

TBC...
