Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate them
PART VII
While Padme's ship was traveling in hyperspace, Obi-Wan sat by her side until she awoke, she was very weak, but she was going to be okay.
"Where am I, what happened to Anakin?"
"You're safe Padme, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Obi-Wan hoped what he said would calm her.
"Where's Anakin?" she tried to raise herself off of the bed but Obi-Wan took her by the shoulders and forced her down saying,
"I don't know where he is, I sense he is alive, but he's in a lot of pain."
"Obi-Wan, what's going on, what has happened to Anakin and where are we going?" Her frustration and anger was wearing her out quickly.
So he told her what had happened, he told her how Anakin had been seduced by the Chancellor, how the Chancellor was the Sith Lord they had been looking for, and his battle with Anakin on Mustafar. When he finished, Padme didn't say anything for a long while, she just sat and stared, then said,
"You left him there to die? You could have saved him" her tone was very cold.
"I didn't kill him because you asked me to, or else I would have. He can't be saved Padme, the Anakin we love is gone."
"There is still good in him Obi-Wan I know it, he did this for me don't you see? He said he needed a find a way to save me, I'm the reason he's turned bad, I can turn him back to the good side. You have to take me to him."
"No, he is evil now, he tried to kill you! He's not going near you again. That's why we are headed far away from the Republic." Padme had never seen Obi-Wan so emotional in his words before.
"Obi-Wan, you are not my husband, he is, my children will be born any day now and they are going to need their father."
"You are going to let your children be raised by an evil man? Palpatine will kill them Padme they are a threat to him."
"Anakin won't let that happen, he'll leave the Chancellor once I talk to him."
"You are too late Padme! On Mustafar you couldn't stop Anakin, instead he choked you, almost to death. Your love won't save him, he's lost to us, forever, and Palaptine is the one who is slowly killing you." He didn't want to tell her, but it was the only way for Padme to realize how dangerous the Sith Lord was.
"What do you mean?" She stared stone cold into his eyes.
"For the past two weeks I have been meditating trying to figure out what was happening to you, I was able to find out through the force it was caused by the dark side, by the Sith, but I didn't know who the Sith Lord was, now I do. Palpatine knows you are a great threat to him, especially now that you are having Anakin's children. I think he did this to you so he can have Anakin as an apprentice, but you are not dead because of the twins, the force is keeping them alive. I don't think Palpatine knows that, I believe he thinks you and the children will die once they are born."
"You have to kill Palpatine" was all she said in response.
"Yoda went to face him, I got word from him when you were asleep, he tried Padme, but he was defeated, he is with Bail Organa on his ship, Yoda and I have to go into hiding. All the Jedi have been killed."
She looked at him for a moment then said, "Obi-Wan I need to be alone."
He joined the droids at the front of the ship, he didn't say anything to her as he walked away, he could hear her crying in the back. He wanted to go to her, to hold her and tell her everything would be alright, but he knew he couldn't. He couldn't do anything at the moment, Obi-Wan had never felt more useless in all his life.

They finally arrived on a planet in the outer rim that was mostly inhabited by refugees and criminals, it would have to do for now. Obi-Wan left the droids with Padme on the ship while he went to look for a place they could take shelter in. He found an abandoned hut not far from where they landed, while gathering all the things they needed, Padme finally emerged from the back of the ship. She looked like death, she was two shades paler than she had been from when he left her alone, she could barely stand, Obi-Wan rushed over to her immediately.
"Padme, you need to lie down, you are in no condition to be up walking around."
He led her over to a chair, when he sat her down, she grabbed his hand and said,
"Obi-Wan, even though I still know there is good in Anakin I realize my children are in danger, I need you to protect them."
'I promise you, I won't let Palpatine find you or them, ever."
"Then, I'm finally yours now, completely."
He kissed her on the forehead and they hugged, not saying anything, when he let go he realized she was asleep. He carried her to their shelter and left her with the droids while he took the ship to the nearby space port and sold it. He figured they would need the money to buy a cheaper ship when they left. By the time he got back to the hut it was nighttime, she was still sleeping, he programmed R2 to stand guard outside the hut while he laid down beside her and went to sleep as well. He knew it was going to be a long day tomorrow.
