Ben glanced around the hotel room Aunt Leia had paid for to spend the night in. Dad had planned to head out to the temple in the morning to seek out Yodas assistance. He hoped Aunt Leia didn't say anything to Anakin, if dad was right about Anakin's mind being in a fragile state. He suspected dad wouldn't want to be the reason Anakin falls to the dark side, that's the thing they needed to avoid altogether. He hoped Luke could get Anakin to see reason about staying in the light side, it would end the war a lot sooner.

"Ben, I ordered some food," Luke spoke with a frown. "Would you mind meeting the delivery boy for me?" He requested with a slight smile.

"You're not trying to get rid of me so you and Aunt Leia can have an interesting discussion about your disillusioned father, is it?" Ben questioned with a slightly sarcastic tone causing Luke to harden his expression. "Keep Aunt Leia from chewing his head off and you might have a chance to save him."

"Ben, go now," Luke handed Ben the appropriate amount of credits then pointed to the door.

"What, no tip?" Ben questioned with a curious expression as Luke handed Ben a few extra credits. "A happy delivery boy makes sure we get the better deal. Thanks dad."

Ben walked out the door and headed down towards the lobby where Luke had requested to meet the delivery boy. This felt deliberate to get him out of the room causing him to frown. He suspected that Luke and Leia plan to discuss what to do next and what type of move to make. The last thing that needed to happen was for them to draw suspicion from the wrong person, Palpatine in particular.

Luke watched Leia with a frown as she sat down in one of the chairs in the room. Ben was right, he needed to keep Leia away from Anakin. He wasn't sure if his sister could keep her tongue under control or not. "I plan to go to the temple in the morning, by myself. Can you stay here and keep Ben out of trouble?"

"Luke, if you fear I would chew Anakin's ear off," Leia started to speak as Luke grimaced. "You don't have to worry. I won't because I realized you're right and I don't want to be the reason Anakin falls to the dark side this time."

Relief washed through Luke as he noticed Leia was studying a painting of the sea hanging on the wall. "Thanks Leia, I still want to go by myself."

"Ben and I will go to the senate and seek out Bail," Leia explained with a slight smile. "I do miss him…"

"Leia, wouldn't it hurt you because he would not know who you are yet," Luke pointed out with a frown as Leia gave a slight nod in agreement.

"Luke, we need to find out how to expose Palpatine without giving away too much information," Leia pointed out with a frown. "I want to take Ben with me, it would be a good chance for him to learn how to behave around politicians."

"I would prefer if you didn't," Luke spoke with a frown as he felt a shiver go up his back. "I sense this is a bad idea, we should be trying to keep a low profile as much as possible. We don't want to accidentally give off the wrong impression."

"I feel we can get his help, he's always been there even for people he hardly knows," Leia pointed out with a frown. "Luke, we're going to need help. Palpatine is going to find some way to come after us, one way or another as soon as he realizes we know more then we should."

"I understand, Leia. I honestly feel this is a bad idea, what if Bail becomes suspicious and puts you into jail?" Luke questioned in curiosity. "What are the chances he knows Padme well and the type of chances he took raising you? Knowing full well that Vader could become aware of your presence at any given moment and realize what you were to him?"

"I know and realize that," Leia answered honestly. "The thought had crossed my mind. How else would he have Artoo? I want to see him again. Even if at just a distance."

"Be careful," Luke spoke with a defeated sigh. "I don't want to see anything happen to Ben or you. You will be going at your own risk."

"You've gotten grumpy in your old age," Leia teased causing Luke to roll his eyes. "I love you, Luke. And we'll be cautious tomorrow."

Luke laid down on the bed feeling frustration wash through him. He knew what Leia planned was a bad idea, and he had a feeling he would have to rescue her from the detention level sometime tomorrow. Somethings never change.

Anakin tossed and turned as images assaulted his sleep. He found himself bowing at Palpatine's feet as he spoke.

"Rise Lord Vader, every Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic, show no mercy."

"Yes my master," Anakin found himself replying as he stood up.

The scene changed to Mustafar, he found himself Force choking Padme as he pleaded for the nightmare to stop.

Obi-Wan was standing off in the distance pleading for Anakin to release her. He released Padme turning his anger on his former master. Before he knew it they were in a fight to the death.

Wake up Anakin, he pleaded to himself again as he found himself looking up at Obi-Wan who was shouting at him. His body caught on fire as he crawled away from the lava bed from behind him. Images and sounds went and came as he heard a heavy respirator in the background.

"Lord Vader, can you hear me?" Palpatine questioned as Anakin gripped the table he was lying on. He felt heavier then he remembered but why?

"Yes my master," Anakin answered unwillingly. His voice sounded mechanical like he was in life-sustaining armor. He was on a respirator. "Padme, is she all right?"

"I'm afraid in your anger, you killed her."

Anakin, wake up! He heard Padme's voice plead with him as his eyes snapped open, he was drenched with sweat as he sat up and placed his head into the palms of his hands. Was that the future he saw? Much pain and grievance you have brought down onto them. Yoda's voice echoed in the back of his mind. Do I fall to the dark side and bring grievance to my family?

"Anakin, that was some nightmare, what's wrong?" Padme questioned in concern as he ignored her question. "Please Anakin, tell me what's wrong."

"I can't," Anakin answered honestly as he stood up and walked to the balcony. How does he tell his best friend, her husband would be the death of her? He couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth of the nightmare. It would be completely his fault. He felt the fresh air cool off his body as he fought to calm his pounding heart down. Finding the so-called spies was more important than ever, he suspected they would be able to shed light on his nightmares.

"Anakin, please how am I supposed to help you? If you won't talk to me?" Padme pleaded again as she walked out onto the landing pad. "Ani?"

The future is not set in stone. There is time to change your destiny. Isn't that what the father told him months prior?

Anakin turned towards Padme as he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so sorry."

"For what?" Padme questioned in confusion. "You're starting to scare me, what did you dream about?"

Did he get so caught up in this war that he believed everything Palpatine told him? That his fate was life-sustaining armor for the rest of his life? Anakin broke down crying in Padme's arms as she held him not being able to say anything further. He heard the confusion in her tone and knew she was worried.

Luke stood outside as he sensed Anakin was in turmoil, something happened last night but he wasn't quite sure what. Did the Force show Anakin what he would become if he did not change his path? He suddenly had this feeling he should find Anakin as soon as possible.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Ben questioned as he walked up beside Luke with a frown. "Aunt Leia and I will be fine…"

"I know," Luke glanced beside him with a slight smile. "Mind your manners and be polite, you'll be surrounded by headstrong beings."

"I will, dad, I promise," Ben agreed with a slight smile.

"I'm proud of you, Ben and your mother would be proud too," Luke spoke with a smile. "After we eat, you and your Aunt will head out to the senate hall and I will head to the Jedi temple. I sense your grandfather is in great turmoil. I need to go to him. He needs me. Just don't tell your Aunt, if you don't hear from me in six hours from, you have permission to tell Leia. That would mean something's gone wrong."

"I will," Ben promised with a smile. "You should go if your father needs you."

Luke smiled as he wrapped an arm around Ben's shoulders. "I love you, Ben."

"I love you too, dad."

Padme walked into the bedroom as Anakin sat up rubbing his eyes. She told Bail she wasn't feeling too good this morning and planned to stay at home. He was understanding, she hated lying to her friend but her husband needed her today. She approached the bed and sat down beside him. She placed her hand onto his shoulder. "Anakin, are you feeling any better this morning? Did you want to talk about what happened last night?"

"I thought you would've left by now," Anakin answered with a frown as Padme rested her head onto his shoulder.

"I told Bail I wasn't feeling too good this morning," Padme explained with a slight smile. "You need me more, Anakin."

"It was a vision of the future," Anakin explained as he stood up and stepped away from Padme. She felt nervous as Anakin placed his head into his hands. "I'm the reason you die, I broke your heart and accidentally killed you," he turned his face towards her with agony and pain in his eyes. "We need to find those individuals. Palpatine is behind the war and the Sith Lord the council has been searching for. I'm almost positive of it now. We're on the wrong side of the war."

"Bail and I were starting to have suspicions about Palpatine, and this spy story seems a bit fishy," Padme pointed out as she stood up and placed her arms around Anakin's waist. "Ani, take this vision as a sign there's still time to change the path. You can protect me by keeping yourself in the light side."

Anakin gave a wary smile as he gathered Padme into his arms. "Let's go to Naboo, tell your family and leave the war. I always wanted to open my own mechanic shop."

Padme chuckled as she rested against his chest as she felt the baby kick. "That doesn't surprise me. I think I need to eat, the baby is getting restless."

"Let me go make you breakfast," Anakin offered with a smile. "What doesn't make you sick?"

"You really don't trust my cooking, do you?" Padme questioned in a teasing tone as she looked up into Anakin's eyes noticing they looked less stressed.

"I just thought I would do something nice for you," Anakin insisted with a slight smirk. "If you feel that way, you can get your own…"

"Well if that is the case," Padme snuggled against his chiseled chest. "I'll let you make breakfast, just stay away from blue fruit."

"You got it, my lovely, caring wife," Anakin kissed her on the lips before disappearing out the door.

Padme silently left the room as Anakin disappeared into the kitchen causing her to smile. She was thankful he opened up to her about the dream last night, if Palpatine really was behind the war. She wondered if it was too late to stop him or not. She would have to speak with Bail and come clean about her relationship with Anakin to him.

Luke stared at the door that Padme was residing in. After doing some research on the name of Padme, it surprised him to learn she was a well known Senator and Queen at age fourteen. It looks like Leia was a lot like Padme in more than a few ways. He wasn't sure why he was here instead of at the Temple, he had a feeling this was the place to come instead of the Jedi Temple. He really needed to speak with Yoda, at the moment this seemed more important he spoke with Anakin first.

Luke sensed Anakin was on the other side of the door as he took a deep breath and lifted his hand to knock as his danger sense flared. His hand dropped down to his lightsaber as he felt a sharp blinding pain in the back of his head.

Thanks for the reviews and reading :)
