Chapter 30

Anakin watches the sun go down again as tears form in his eyes. Padme left two hours ago and he treated her badly. Yet, he felt glad he did it. Then another wave of confusion rode over him. He was awake but helpless. What kind of a husband, could he be to her now. Could he talk her into just leaving him and find another one.

Don't think about the twins. Yes it's better if they don't know you, The useless Father.

Padme sat in the garden, watching the sun going down. All she had hope for Anakin, seemed too shattered this week. Galeriana was gone from his system yet there was no sign of her Anakin. They were trying to start his therapy and Anakin was not cooperating.

"It must be too much for him to handle. Clearly he broke and just wants to lie there." She thought. Obi-Wan was going give him two more days to straighten up. Then he going let Anakin have it. Right now all she cared about were the twins. They will be the legacies of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker not the one who's laying in a bed not caring.

"Excuse me Milady, but Senator Organa is here to see you." C-3P0 said with Bail standing behind him.

"Bail! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be trying to save the Republic?"Padme half heartily trying to tease him.

"It's not the same with you gone. Beside I heard rumors that Anakin Skywalker, the secret husband of a former Senator from Naboo, was wide awake." Bail said, giving her a little bow. "What's shock me the most, was the lack of scandal this didn't cause. Actually it turned out to be one very pleasant fairy tale love story."

"Very cute. Yes, I'm shock that the press hasn't started rumors. Actually they have been respecting our privacy. However I did promise I would tell when the twins would be born. As for Anakin, yes he is awake and in a bit of a rough patch. There is no more Galeriana in him but the damaged has been done. He can barely talk and move his arms. Forget about walking. Something is wrong there too. Anakin's mind has been effected. I spent this afternoon with him. Anakin doesn't acknowledge me or even tried to commutate. He just lies there. I don't know what else to for him."Padme replied,

"It must have been a terrible shock to him to wake up on Naboo and to find out that he has been a coma for a month. Don't rush Anakin to recover Padme. It might take several months or even a year before he is back to normal. Both psychical and emotional too."Bail, emphasizing emotional part."I don't think Anakin was in his right mind when he did it. The last time I saw him, was a week before he went into the coma. I tried to get him to talk. My gut feeling was there was something terrible wrong with Anakin. He only wanted talk about you, not himself. I didn't press the subject. I tried to get hold of Obi-Wan but he was away. But what has happen, has happened. Now on to Anakin's full recovery."

"I don't think Anakin will ever fully recover."Padme quietly said."He is nothing but a broken Jedi now."

"Padme Skywalker! I can't believe you that! Padme, Anakin loves you with all his heart. He does nothing but worry's about you. In fact that's why he went to see me before he pulled his crazy act. It was about you, especially about this little object that belongs to you."Bail answered back, holding out a box to her.

"What is it?" Padme asked as she took the book and opened it."Oh no"

"Hate to be nosey but, what exactly what is it? Gathered it means something to you. Anakin said he found you crying over it because it was broken."Bail, taking her hand.

"It's the japor snippet that Anakin carved for me, when he was nine. It was for good luck. When, we were on our way to Coruscant. He had just been free from Watto and he had to leave his mother behind. He was so cold, so I had wrapped him up in my jacket. Anakin was such a cutie then. Anakin knew I was sad. Then he reached in his pocket and gave me this. I wore it when I made that speech to the Senate. It gave me comfort. Later I had a special box made for it. I was so afraid to lose it."Padme as she took it out the box.

"A couple weeks ago, the hole finally broke apart. It broke my heart and I land up crying over that. Poor Anakin, he found me in tears. Ani just held me in his arms, telling me that he'll get it fixed for me. I just wanted to, put it back in its box and leave it there. But the next morning, he took it out and said he was going to have it fix. A week later, he was in the coma and I didn't have the pendent back."

"That was my fault. The jeweler on Coruscant said he couldn't fix it. So I sent it to Alderaan to the royal jeweler. Who said he could fix it, he needed time to study the pendent. Later we decide to strengthen the wood part with some luegai solution. Then we talk back and forth, what would be the best design for it. Then we had to wait for the Corno stones to come in. It was only last week that he finally put the whole thing together. Needless to say, I think that's one his best works ever."Bail answered.

Padme looked at her now found pendent. What the jeweler did, was set the pendent in a frame, that form around it. Then he attached a chain, studded in Corno stones.

"Padme! I know what you are thinking. Consider it my very late wedding present to you and Anakin. Bail, giving her a hug.

"Thank You Bail. I'll let Anakin put it back on, when he gets into a better mood. He always the one who put on me, when he left."

"Come on, Breha sent you more marriage presents and some baby stuff. And I haven't seen one gift either." Bail declared, helping her up from the bench. "Oh Palpatine is leaving for Naboo tomorrow morning."

"Oh I forgot he's leaving the Chancellor position. Maybe he can talk some sense into Anakin or get him into a better mood."Padme wondered.

"That's the first thing Palpatine going to do, visit with Anakin. I'll see Anakin in the morning and try to explain what has happen to Palpatine. Maybe now Anakin will understand."

.

"You are bad"Karis exclaimed as she tried threw another punch at Obi-Wan.

"Me! Oh You're not so innocent."he countered back. Then use the Force to pull her hair again.

"Karis just smile and snuggle up to Obi-Wan."What are we going to do Obi. Anakin is not getting any better and Padme is about to give birth. All this is not going give us much time for us."

"Don't worry, something will work out. We just have to be patient. Anakin will pull through eventually. I think he needs to hold his children before he'll pull himself together. He doesn't want to talk about them. I sense he is scared about being a father." Obi-Wan said.

"And you're scared about being a husband."Karis, tugging his beard.

"Will you stop tugging at my beard. Maybe I should have trim a bit more." Obi-Wan rubbing it. "I'll bet you. Those twins of Anakin will do nothing but pull on it. Then Anakin always said it made me look grumpy this way. Guess I'll do that tomorrow afternoon."

"Good idea"Karis tugging it once more.

.

The room was dark and Anakin watches as the stars grew bolder in the night's sky. He was restless and nothing was pleasing him. Naporta was here a half hour ago, doing her usually annoying routine. Always asking what is wrong and Anakin answered her in silence. Dr. K'amott ordered psych exam for him and he wonderfully flunk it.

What did they know what he was feeling. Naporta never married and had kids. Did she ever really understand what love was? And K'amott, what did he knew about being a Jedi and falling in love with the most beautiful woman. Knowing you are forbid to this.

"Padme" the name echos through his head. She richly deserves a better husband than he was. How could he love her and protect her? The only thing he could do, was just to lie in this bed.

Padme is not accepting my condition. Padme, my wife. If you love me, leave me and find another husband who will care for you. I have only become a burden to her family. I doubt it that the order would take care of me. Why did I just die that day? Everything would have been better for everybody.

Soon sleep beckons the worn out Jedi.

Greyness, Greyness. No!

Anakin woke with a jolt and spent a minute catching his breath. It wasn't the greyness he had fear. But of a full moon tonight and the greyness was the moonlight.

As always, thoughts begin to form in his mind. Always the same one or two things he didn't want to deal with. The two things he failed that night and the two things. Anakin worries about the most.

Anakin then realizes he was thirsty and with a bit of effort, turns to his nightstand and grabs his water holder.

A square soft white light greets him.

"What?" with a bit of the Force and more of luck. I manage to pick it. Then I could see it was.

My twins -

It was the hole image that was taken two weeks ago. My Twins. The two things, I didn't want to face. The one unknown of my life. Fatherhood and the knowledge I have done something with my life, that change it forever. I knew I could have died that night. Well, I did die that night. I remember everything from the coma, the walking, the fighting, the sense I shouldn't be here.

But I am here.

Somebody out in the vast blackness, doesn't want to deal with an Anakin Skywalker just yet. I knew the Galeriana was gone from my system. Just couldn't shake the feeling of this I don't deserved to be alive. Look what have I have done to my family.

But my twins, Luke and Leila from the holo image. They are sort of staring at me.

So Anakin -

Are they going to grow up without a Father too? You grew up without a Father. You didn't care for it. How many times did you Mom about your Father? How many times were you meet with silence? I know between Padme and Obi-Wan, they would learn about me. But it's not the same of being there for them. I suffer because of that. I don't want that for my children, the twins and whoever else comes after them.

Oh we're having more Anakin

"Yup I want a big family! A half Father is better than no Father."Anakin said aloud

"Yes Anakin, a half father is better than none. But you'll be a full father eventually "Qui-Gon, appearing before Anakin.

"Qui?" staring at the figure before him.
