Shmi Skywalker sat by the bedside of her oldest son as she waited for him to wake up.
Her children's introduction to their older brother could not have been worse, he had lost his arm and had been unconscious for the past two days.
They had outfitted Anakin with a mechanical arm and now they were just waiting for him to wake up.
When he woke up, they would all be travelling to Varykino, with Padme` s family as well.
Anakin's eyes flickered and Shmi quickly grabbed his hand.
"Mom?" Anakin asked blearily.
"It's me, Ani" Shmi replied.
"Mom" cried tearfully as he sat up and hugged her, noticing his arm he asked, "What happened?"
"Do you remember fighting Tyrannus?" Shmi inquired.
"Mostly, the end is a little blurry" Anakin replied, then remembering he said, "I remember now."
"How are you here on Naboo?" Anakin inquired.
"I live here, Padme` after you were captured came to free me, but Cliegg Lars had already freed and married me, so Padme` helped us move to Naboo" Shmi explained.
"You're married?" Anakin asked.
"Yes, and you have a Step-Brother that's your age, his name is Owen and he has a girlfriend her name is Beru Whitesun" Shmi replied.
"I'm glad Padme` came to help you" Anakin said.
"You also have a younger brother and two younger sisters" Shmi added.
"I have younger siblings?" Anakin questioned.
"Yes, you do" Shmi added, "Kiera and Kara are ten and Cameron is eight."
"When do I get to meet them?" Anakin questioned curious.
"As soon as they get here, they are very excited to meet their older brother" Shmi answered happy with her son's response to the new information.
"I can't wait to meet them, Mom" Anakin said quietly.
"You'll love them."
"I missed you Mom" Anakin said.
"I missed you to, Ani" Shmi replied to him lovingly.
Before the conversation could continue a knock on the door sounded.
"I'll get it" Shmi said as she got up.
As the door opened Anakin sat up in his bed noticing his arm again but quickly turning his attention the door.
Entering in Anakin saw a man he recognized as Cliegg Lars, he had been one of Watto's customers and now his Stepfather, then he saw a man with brown hair and hazel eyes who he assumed must be Owen Lars, then came a women with Blonde hair and blue eyes who must be Beru, then after them a girl with Blonde hair and blue eyes entered, one of the girls then Anakin realized then another girl entered identical to the other except for the eyes they were brown instead if blue and finally a young bot entered with brown hair and blue eyes.
"This is Cliegg, my husband" Shmi introduced.
"I remember you, you would come to Watto's shop" Anakin spoke up.
"Yes, I came to Watto's shop for repairs" Cliegg replied.
"I'm Owen and this is my girlfriend Beru" Owen introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you" Anakin replied kindly.
"I'm Kara Skywalker-Lars" Kara interrupted their conversation before they could say anything more.
"Hi, Kara" Anakin said as the little girl reached out and hugged him making him flinch slightly as old memories of his torture assaulted him, before he regained his calm and allowed her to sit by him on the bed.
His flinch and the momentary fear in his eyes did not remain unnoticed, Shmi looked at her son as she once again questioned in her mind What had they done to her son?
"That must make you Kiera" Anakin said as he accepted the second twin on his other side.
"Uh-huh" Kiera muttered.
"That means your Cameron" Anakin looked at Cameron.
"Yes, everyone calls me Cam" He responded to his brother.
"Ok, Cam I'm Anakin but you can call me Ani for short" Anakin said as Cameron claimed his place sitting on the bed.
"So, what do you guys like to do?" Anakin asked his siblings as the other's realizing they were getting to know each other left the room.
As they all tried to answer at once Anakin spoke "How about we go one at a time, so were not all trying to be heard."
"You go first" They all said together.
"Ok, I like to fly and build and repair things" Anakin told them happy to be with them.
"I'll go next, because I'm next oldest" Kiera said, then added, "I like to play with Threepio, and I like reading to, and flying is my favorite thing to do."
"You still have Threepio?" Anakin asked surprised.
"Yea, Mom always kept him because you built him and she loved him, because you built him" Kiera replied.
"Your turn Kara" Anakin said as he thought fondly of Threepio.
"I like flying to, but I also really like reading, and learning about all the planets is super fun, and playing with my brother and sister, and I'm going to like playing with you to" Kara answered.
"My turn" Cam excitedly said, "I like learning about history, and I love flying."
"Hey, we all have something in common, we like flying, it must be a Skywalker thing" Anakin said already adoring his younger siblings.
"Mom and Dad always say flying is a Skywalker thing" Kiera informed Anakin.
"Well they are correct" Anakin replied to Kiera.
"Do you have any friends?" Anakin asked.
"Ryoo and Pooja Naberrie" Kiera replied.
"How old are they?" Anakin asked.
"Ryoo is seven and Pooja is five" Kara told Anakin.
"Aran Keromy is our friend to" Cam said.
"How old is he?" Anakin inquired curious.
"He's eight" Cam answered.
And they continued to talk and learn about each other.

"Looks like we might not be seeing the kids or Anakin for a while" Cliegg said as they heard chatting through the door.
"No, but they need to get to now each other, when we all go to Varykino you'll get to know Anakin" Shmi said.
"He seems quite nice" Beru said softly.
"He always was a kind-hearted-boy, I just keep wondering what those people did to my precious little boy" Shmi said and then added, "he's had so much pain in his life, I just hope he can be rid of all that suffering now."
"I'm sure he will be rid of it, here he can have the peace he's been denied his whole life" Beru replied to Shmi in her always soft voice.
