A Twin Thing
Summary: In a galaxy far far away, two little twins decided to drive their parents insane.
Chapter 3: Market Time!
Leia was not happy, not happy at all. Because of what she had said to her mother and father, her mother decided that she would bring Luke and her to the market to get food for the Lake Retreat House.
"Leia! Luke! It's time to go!" Padme's voice echoed off the walls. Leia wrinkled her nose at her mother's voice. Great, she would be tortured all day.
Leia got up and slowly walked towards the kitchen of the Lake Retreat House. She sighed as she saw her mother and brother standing all ready to go. She dreaded what awaited her at the market.
"Come Leia, we don't want to be too long."
"Why can't you take Dad?"
"Because then we would have a problem- I mean, he's too busy." Padme sounded cheerier then before, maybe something good had happened between their last time together and now.
"Now get in." Padme commanded and waited for Luke and Leia to get in the speeder.
"Mom, can I get something to eat there?"
"Like what Luke?" Padme questioned as they speeded off to the market.
"Maybe like…. SUGAR!" Luke shouted and Padme rolled her eyes.
"No Luke!" There was silence. Leia decided to speak.
"Mom?"
"Yes Leia?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Don't you dare start that again young lady." Padme stated and they didn't talk the rest of the way. As soon as they got there, Leia and Luke rushed out of the car and bolted towards the market. They ran into it practically knocking down the store manager. Padme rushed behind her two children.
"I'm sorry." Padme said to the store manager.
"These your kids lady?"
"Yes, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again."
"Get leashes for them." He walked off. Padme cursed under her breath.
"That stupid little-"
"Now, now mother, that is no way to talk about people." Luke said slightly mocking his mother. Padme shot him a glare that made him back off.
"Now… Let's jus get this over with." Padme said and walked into the store, Luke and Leia trailing behind her.
"Mommy! I want candy! Can I have candy? Please? Please? Please? Please?" Luke shouted and Padme's hand quickly shot down and covered his mouth as everybody stared at them.
"Luke! Ask me later." She took her hand off of Luke's mouth.
"Whatever you say Mommy." Padme sighed in relief and walked off, not noticing that Luke and Leia were not behind her.
"What are you doing?" Leia questioned as she watched Luke walk over towards a pyramid of canned goods.
"I don't know, I want one." Luke answered and got closer.
"I wouldn't do that."
"Why not?" Luke questioned as he sat down on the floor and reached out towards one of the bottom cans.
"I wouldn't do that." Leia repeated, but clearly Luke was not listening.
"Shut up Leia, I do what I want!"
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Just shut up!" Luke commanded and Leia stepped back.
"I'm gonna tell Mommy! Luke is going to get in trouble!"
"Leia, shut up! I DO WHAT I WANT!"
"I'm gonna tell Daddy and he's going to get madder then Mommy!" Leia chanted.
"No, Dad is always calmer then Mom." Luke reminded his sister. He turned around forgetting about the cans for a little while.
"Whatever, I'll tell both of them then!"
"No!"
"Yea-huh!" Leia answered and took another step backwards.
"So do you want that can or not?" Leia questioned trying to get her brother to take the can of fruit.
"Of course I want it and watch as nothing happens!" He told Leia and turned back around, his small hand reaching for the can on the bottom. He gripped the can firmly just as his mother rounded the corner.
"Luke! NO!" Padme screamed, but it was too late, Luke had taken out the bottom can making everything fall with a: BANG! Right on him.
Padme rushed towards her son, who was buried under all the cans. Different people came over to see what was wrong.
"I told you so." Leia said and her mother shot her an icy look.
"Leia! Come here and help me get Luke out!"
"Why? It's not my fault he was dumb enough to go and try that."
"Leia!" Padme warned and Leia sighed in defeat.
"Fine." She walked over towards Padme and started to move the cans off of her brother.
"Stupid Luke, always trying to try news things. Stuck-up six year old boy, not worth my time, I should have been an only child, but noooo, my parents wanted more. They just needed LUKE! He's a stupid little son of a-"
"Leia!" Padme screeched and her daughter stopped talking.
"Leia Shmi Skywalker! I do not approve of that language!"
"You don't approve of anything I do." Leia muttered under her breath so only she could hear.
"What was that?"
"Sorry." Leia said and kept moving the cans, her eyes on the floor.
"Good."
Finally after a couple minutes, they found Luke, a bump on his head.
"Owww!" Luke exclaimed and ran into the comfort of his mother's arms.
"Luke, how many times do I need to tell you, not to do stupid things like that?"
"It seemed alright." Luke answered and pouted.
"Luke, when we get home, we're going to have a talk with your father about this."
"Excuse me Miss, are these your kids?"
Padme whipped around, Luke still in her arms. "Yes, is there something wrong?"
Padme almost died, it was the same man Luke and Leia had run into at the door way. Oh no, now she was in trouble.
"I told you to get leashed for them lady!" That ticked Padme off, nobody would ever tell her how to raise her children. She would not take that, from anybody!
"Excuse me, don't you dare tell me how to raise my children." Padme warned and grabbed Leia's hand before walking off.
"Mommy?" Luke questioned and Padme nodded.
"What is it Luke?"
"Can we go home?"
"I guess I'll have to go shopping on my own." Padme answered and Luke and Leia smiled grateful for the fact that they weren't going shopping. Padme carried Luke outside while she dragged Leia along.
Once in the speeder, Luke and Leia sat quietly next to each other not saying a word. They were not talking to each other since the fight that had just happened
"Is there something wrong?" Padme questioned her two children and they shook their heads.
"No, nothing is wrong."
"When we get home, we're all just going to relax and maybe go swimming ok?"
"YEA!" Luke and Leia cheered in unison.
Padme smiled, "But only for a little while… Ok?"
"Ok Mom."
A little while later…
Padme hadn't been planning on going in the water, but when she saw that the twins were probably going to drown each other with all their fighting, she stepped in. Too bad she didn't have a bathing suit on. Padme followed Luke and Leia out of the water dripping wet, her dress ruined.
"Hit the showers you too." Padme commanded and watched her children nod and run off. Anakin walked out after both the kids had walked into the room.
"So I'm thinking your shopping day wasn't successful?" Anakin questioned as he took Padme into his arms.
"I'm going to ruin your Jedi robes." Padme answered and Anakin laughed.
"No, it's alright." Padme smiled slightly.
"It was a mess today…"
"So what's for dinner?"
"Is that all you think about?" Padme questioned and felt Anakin nod his head.
"Maybe."
"Well since we only have a little food, I was thinking that I would let you cook."
Nothing, silence. The words 'Let you cook,' Never ever came out of Padme's mouth. They were more like 'I'm never going to let you cook.'
"What?"
"I'm going to let you cook tonight." Padme repeated and broke away from him, running inside to take a shower.
Dinner time…
There was a foul smell that filled the Lake Retreat House around dinner time. Padme entered the kitchen after she had taken a shower. What was going on in there? She pushed open the door to reveal Anakin, cooking.
"What the force are you doing?" Padme questioned as she watched Anakin fool around with their only food.
"I'm just doing what you told me."
"Ok, I was kidding!"
"It didn't sound like it." Anakin turned around just as a burst of fire spurted out of the stove.
"We're ordering out tonight." Padme concluded and walked out of the room.
A little while later…
The twins were put to bed, the kitchen was cleaned, and the parents were exhausted.
"I'm never going to have more kids." Padme stated as she flopped down on their bed watching as Anakin walked around the room.
"What's up?"
"I don't know, we just haven't been spending that much time together since the twins were born."
"Well duh Anakin, we have two children that we need to take care of." Padme got up and walked over to her husband. He wrapped his arms around her waist as her arms rested on his shoulders.
"You know, we have tonight and all the other nights that follow to ourselves." Padme suggested and Anakin grinned.
"I like how you think."
"I know, aren't I smart?" Padme questioned as their lips met in a kiss. Anakin pulled away, letting the kiss linger on Padme's lips, making her want more.
"One sec." Anakin said and rushed out the room, Padme quickly changed and waited. She heard footsteps coming towards their bedroom. Padme looked as the person came into the room. It was Leia.
"Leia, darling… What are you doing here?"
"Mommy, I'm scared." Padme threw a robe around her short nightgown and got up.
"You wanna stay with us tonight?" Padme questioned and Leia nodded. Padme took her daughter into her arms and gently placed her down in between her side and Anakin's. Maybe tomorrow night Anakin and her would have some time to themselves.
"Mommy, are you coming to bed?"
"Yes darling, I'll be there in one sec." Padme answered and entered her closet to change into something longer.
A couple minutes later, Padme got on the right side of Leia. Leia position herself so her head was resting on her mother's shoulder.
"Good night Mommy."
"Night Leia."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Padme watched as Leia fell asleep just as Anakin walked into the room. He looked surprised to see Leia there.
"Padme…"
"Sorry Anakin, she got scared." He got in on the other side.
"Damn." He cursed under his breath, hoping Padme didn't hear him, but she did.
"Anakin! Maybe tomorrow." She lifted her head and gently kissed him before leaning back and falling asleep.
Leia smiled, she had been outside the door all the time listening to her mother's and father's conversation. She also wasn't asleep yet, like her mother thought she was. So again she had listened in on their conversation. She cheered in her mind; she had just found another way to drive her parents insane.
