A/N I could not stop thinking about when Vader finds Luke! So here it is! Luke is just a couple months old


Recovering from his injuries he received months prior, he meditated in his hyperbaric chamber. Everything still hurt, breathing, moving, every action he made grinded on his wounds. He had still made very little progress in healing. But he knew it ultimately helped him fuel into the Dark Side. The pain was unbearable, but the power it gave him was unmatched to anything he had felt before.

He sat in his chamber on the Devastator while in hyperspace towards the very planet he swore to never come back to again. The news he received though was worth looking into, in fact, the news was incredibly strange. An Inquisitor had informed him on the findings of a small child that was only a few months old, the baby was incredibly force sensitive. The Inquisitor had found this child by looking through Anchorhead's registrations and found this child was registered to the name of;

Name: Skywalker, Luke

Residence: Lars Moisture Farm

Parent/Guardians: Owen Lars, Beru Whitesun

The Inquisitor believed this child to be the offspring of Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight. Skywalker, Moisture farm, Lars, all of this connected, connected to his old life. Something he swore to destroy, to let go of, his old life was a waste. Despite his strong hatred for his old life, he had a strong urge to see the boy. He needed to see him, to know he was real. He definitely wasn't going to leave him on Tatooine, no one deserves to grow up there, especially his own child.

He had ordered the Inquisitor to deliver the child to the Devastator once the Star Destroyer arrived over Tatooine, that the child was unharmed, to be discreet as possible. He wanted this to stay as quiet as possible, he had cleared his private hangar and would have to kill the Inquisitor. If they believed this child was the offspring of Anakin Skywalker, he would no doubt soon connect the dots on who was once Anakin.

The Devastator jumped out of hyperspace, Vader opened his eyes in his chamber, he was here. He pressed a button on a control panel in his chamber, his mask descended on him as the pod lifted. The steam poured out from the pod as the lid rose, he stood from his chair and quickly exited his private chambers. His com began to go off, he picked it up.

"My Lord, I am currently exiting Tatooine's atmosphere with the child." The Inquisitor said.

"Excellent, land in my private hangar, Inquisitor." Vader spoke into the com.

"At once, My Lord."

The call was cut, Vader walked down the hall towards his private hangar. He couldn't help but grow restless, he was about to see his child, he didn't know what to expect. While he walked the halls of the Devastator, he felt a presence in the force grow stronger, grow closer to the ship. It was bright, the brightest force presence he had ever felt. It was warm, pure light, was that him?

He reached the hangar and walked in, it was a rather large hangar with his personal TIE stationed. It was an expanse of black glossy durasteel floors, he saw a ship next to his TIE. It's exit ramp began to lower, Vader strode towards it with his hands held behind his back. The sounds of his footsteps echoed around the hangar, he stopped in front of the exit ramp and saw the Inquisitor walk out.

The Inquisitor stopped in front of Vader and bowed, "My Lord, I have delivered the child as you have requested."

"Excellent work, Inquisitor." The man held a stern and serious face, he held his shields well, but no doubt he was confused. Inquisitors jobs were to collect force-sensitive children, but never has one been delivered to Darth Vader.

"The child is on the ship, my Lord." The Inquisitor added, Vader didn't listen to him any further. He reached out to the force presence on the ship, the child was sleeping, at peace. Vader didn't want to drag this out further then he needed to, he boarded the ship and walked into the cockpit. There he saw in the co-pilot's seat was a white bassinet carrier, he stood there in the entrance of the cockpit for a minute just looking at the carrier. He walked closer and saw what was in the carrier, he didn't know what to expect when he would see the child, but it wasn't this.

He felt rushed with emotions, old and new. He believed he lost the ability to feel such things when he became a Sith. The force sang to him that this was his baby, but he couldn't comprehend it. His master lied to him, lied about what happened to her, what he did to her and their baby. He sorted through the abundance of emotions as he looked down on his tiny baby.

Sith were not supposed to feel such things, it was viewed as weak. Love was a feeling he was familiar with. He thought he had felt love to an extent that was emotionally possible for a person to feel, the love he had was Padme. The very thought of her still sent him reeling, their love was strong, neverending. As he looked down at the sleeping child, something in him burst, releasing a tidal wave of emotions he was sure a Sith was not supposed to feel, they were so strong he didn't think was possible to feel. It rushed through his veins, it was pure, unrelenting, unconditional. His son was so small and tiny, his baby, her baby. A fusion of them both, he was perfect.

He reluctantly turned to leave, he had to address the Inquisitor and make sure that was taken care of before anything else happened. While his baby slept he walked down the exit ramp the Inquisitor stood tall and bowed once Vader stood in front of him.

"You have done well, Inquisitor." Vader said to the man, "Your assistance is no longer required." The Inquisitor looked at him curiously.

"A-Assistance?" He stammered, the Inquisitor then reached for his throat and quickly raised in the air. His shields lowered, fear radiated off of him. Vader lingered for a moment, sitting in the pure power and energy from the dark side. Not long after, he crushed the man before him. His body fell to the ground with a thud, he pulled out his com.

"Lieutenant Lekauf, bring a crew to dispose of the body in my personal hangar."

"At once, my Lord." Lekauf responded, Vader stood there staring at the body. He turned to face the ship, what was he going to do? This boy, his boy, was in there. He stalked up the exit ramp of the ship and walked back in the cockpit, looked back down at the boy. He was awake and looked straight up at him. Without thinking, his hand slowly moved towards the baby. He didn' know what was reaching for but stopped when the baby wrapped his tiny hand around Vader's finger.

He stood there frozen, the babies hand squeezed as tight as he could. It was then when he fully understood, he was a father, this baby's father. He was broken from his trance when he heard shuffling outside of the ship, he turned around and walked off the ship. He saw Lieutenant Lekauf ordering a group of stormtroopers to dispose of the body.

The stormtroopers picked up the body and quickly moved it out of the hangar, Lekauf turned to Vader and bowed. "My Lord." He looked at Vader with a stern face.

"Summon a medical droid at once, Lieutenant." He instructed Lekauf who then pulled out his com and ordered a medical droid to his hangar. Just then the sound of a child crying rang through the hangar, Lekauf looked up to the ship in disbelief.

"I-Is there a child on that ship?" Lekauf stammered, Vader walked towards him slowly.

"Lieutenant, what I am about to relay onto you must remain confidential. If any word of this gets out, I know it would have been you who spread the information, you will pay the price." Lekauf looked at him, eyes wide, he swallowed hard and nodded slowly. "You are now under a special assignment." Vader pointed towards the ship, "In that ship, there is a child of significant importance to me. I require your assistance in its care until we reach Coruscant."

Just then a med droid rolled over towards the two, Vader faced the droid. "Collect a blood sample from the child in the ship, run the DNA against mine. Inform me of the results." He ordered.

"Right away, Lord Vader." The droid beeped, the Lieutenant in front of him looked bewildered.

"Lieutenant." Vader said slowly, "The child on that ship is my child." Lekauf blinked quickly in shock and drew in a deep breath.

"I understand, my Lord." Lekauf finally spit out.

"Acquire baby formula, every standard medpack will obtain a few packets." Vader informed, although every medpack contained dry packets of baby formula, it was never used. They never had a reason to, until now.

"At once, my Lord." Lekauf replied, just then the med droid rolled back off of the ship and came close to them.

"I collected the blood sample and ran it against yours my Lord, here are the results." The droid extended its arm holding a datapad. Vader grabbed it quickly and saw the results, yes, a match. As if he needed the blood test, the force told him, but he needed to see it, physically see it. "It would appear that the child is hungry." The droid added.

"Bring the formula right away, then amass as many formula packets as you can for the time it takes to get to Coruscant." He ordered, Lekauf nodded and quickly made his way out of the hangar. Luckily, the medbay is close to the hangers-on star destroyers. Vader then crushed the datapad in his hand with his fist and pointed at the droid. "Erase everything you have just done in your memory banks."

"At once," The droid beeped and stood still as it started their memory wipe, Vader strode past the droid onto the ship. The crying grew louder as he got closer, he walked in the cockpit and saw his baby crying. His fists were in tight balls, Vader didn't know what to do. He wanted to pick him up, but he feared hurting him. He was still getting used to his cybernetics.

He reached out again and placed the palm of his hand on the baby's forehead, he opened up in the force and sent waves of soothing and calm towards his son. He hoped this would help, after a few moments the baby slowly quieted down. He pulled his hand back, the baby was still fussy due to his hunger. He thought of the registry the Inquisitor sent to his datapad, his name was under Skywalker,...

"Luke." He said, his son's name. He wondered if it was the name she chose, it was a perfect name. He sensed the Lieutenant rushing in the hangar, he then saw Lekauf stumble in the cockpit holding a couple of medpacks. Lekaufs eyes landed on his son, he looked in slight amazement and noticed a small smile.

Luke soon began to cry again, "Hurry! He is hungry!" He didn't want his son to starve! Lekauf hastily set down a medpack and opened it up. He ripped out most of the contents until he found a few small manilla contents and what looked to be a makeshift bottle. He mixed the contents of a packet with water and held the bottle in his hands.

"It's done sir- I- My Lord." Lekauf held the bottle shakily, Vader stared at it. He didn't know how to do any of this, once he got to Coruscant he would need to read more information on how to care for a baby,

"I- Lieutenant, feed him." He ordered, Lekauf blinked quickly then moved over to Luke. Vader watched closely as Lekauf reached down and picked up Luke. He tensed up at the sight, he didn't want strangers holding him. But Luke needed to eat, as he watched Lekauf hold Luke. As Lekauf held the bottle, he looked at Vader.

"Are you sure- do you want to- would you like to hold him?" Lekauf stammered, Vader stared at Luke. Yes, he would like to hold him, he hesitated but slowly reached out his hand. Lekauf slowly moved Luke over, Vader now held Luke. It was perplexing, holding his own baby. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe he was real.

He didn't know how he felt about having a Lieutenant watching him hold a baby, but he wasn't going to kill anyone in front of his child. The feeling of holding his son made emotions rise in his chest, he felt light. Love, he instantly knew. A strong bond between the two was established, his son was so small. Lekauf handed him the bottle, he grabbed it and bottle fed his son.
