Obi-Wan ran off the ship into the medical ward on Endor carrying Padme in his arms. They rushed her into a room right away Obi-Wan not leaving her side for a moment. Right when the doctor and the medical droids came in to attend to Padme, Obi-Wan's emergency comlock went off. Only two people knew the signal, Yoda and Bail Organa, Obi-Wan knew he had to take it, the emperor may have found out where they were. Darth Vader knew Padme was still alive, and had a put a bounty on Yoda and Obi-Wan.
"Padme, I'll be right back I promise." He hurried off to another room despite hearing Padme's pleas for him to come back.
Obi-Wan answered, to find Bail Organa was the one calling. Bail had informed Obi-Wan that the Emperor ordered his guards to go into Padme's apartment and burn all of her belongings. That she was now a traitor to the Galactic Empire and that if found, she was to be brought to Darth Vader at once.
Obi-Wan felt a disturbance in the force when Bail told him how the Emperor burned Padme's belongings; he felt that the Emperor knew Padme had something there that he didn't want Anakin to find out about.
"Bail, did you happen to tell Master Yoda what you just told me?"
"Yes, I did, he wanted me to tell you that he advises leaving Endor at once and finding refuge somewhere else for a few days."
"Thanks Bail, I have to go now, I'll be in touch."
Obi-Wan was relieved that Master Yoda was informed as well. He was more skilled in the ways of the force than himself, perhaps he would be able to find out what the Emperor wanted destroyed.
When Obi-Wan returned to Padme , he saw all the equipment set up for the birth. He walked over to her side and took her hand, she let out a loud scream, then Obi-Wan heard a baby's cry. The droids cleaned the baby off and handed the baby to Obi-Wan.
"It's a boy and appears to be very healthy" said the doctor.
Obi-Wan cradled the boy in his arms and leaned down to show Padme, a proud smile on his face. A smile a father would have.
"Luke" was all Padme said, she lifted up her hand to touch the baby's forehead. She suddenly screamed and then another baby appeared.
The doctor held the baby and showed her to Obi-Wan.
"It's a girl" said Obi-Wan as he cradled the baby girl in his other arm.
"Leia" Padme gasped, she looked up at her, but didn't have the strength to lift her other arm.
Obi-Wan knew something was wrong with Padme, so he handed the babies to the droids and asked the doctor if he didn't mind leaving them alone for a few minutes. The doctor nodded and he and the droids left the room to take the twins to the infant ward.
Obi-Wan bent down to help lift up Padme, between her gasps, she said,
"Obi-Wan, take care of them, take care of my babies"
"Shhhh, Padme you must save your strength" tears started flooding from Obi-Wan's eyes; he couldn't compose himself as he was trained to do all those years.
"There is a box in my apartment with instructions of what to do inside of it, tell Bail to get this box, the keys to my apartment are in my blue velvet bag with my things back at the shelter. The box is in a closet in my office."
She started to cough; Obi-Wan tilted her head up more so she could breathe better, his arms were trembling violently.
"I loved you, never forget that. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for me, I only wished I had more time." Obi-Wan couldn't respond, he couldn't find the strength to say the words he wanted to say.
"There is still good in him, I know there is."
She smiled at him, then she closed her eyes, she was gone.
Obi-Wan sat there holding Padme in his arms sobbing, a nurse came in to check on Padme, when she saw Obi-Wan holding her she immediately began to call for emergency help.
"No, stay away, don't touch her just stay away from her" Obi-Wan screamed.
"Sir, we may be able to help your wife."
"Nothing can help, she was dying before she even came here, just go away."
The nurse looked at the doctor who had appeared earlier, the doctor said they had to respect his wishes and then left telling Obi-Wan he would be alone.
Obi-Wan sat there, still holding her, thinking of how he couldn't do the last thing she asked, of Bail getting the box. That was what the Emperor wanted, what was in that box. He was too late. After sitting with her for what seemed like hours, he got up and put a sheet over Padme. Then he went down to the nursery to see Luke and Leia.
After he spent time holding them he told the nurse he would came back for them. He told the nurse he had to leave Endor immediately to plan for his wife's funeral. She nodded sympathetically and said she would get them ready.
When he walked back into the room he stopped dead in his tracks.
Padme's body was gone. The sheet was still lying on the table.
"Where is she? What have you done with her?" Obi-Wan screamed as he turned to go out the door, drawing his light saber, anger consuming him.
"I'm right here Obi-Wan."
He turned around at hearing the familiar voice then dropped to his knees in shock.
Standing there looking as beautiful as an angel, was Padme.
