Anakin jolted awake but he could not figure out what woke him. The ship was still smoothly going through hyperspace. He laid back down and closed his eyes as he heard Luke calling out to him. They both decided to get some rest on the way back but it appeared Luke was in the midst of a nightmare. He stood up and started heading to where Luke was resting. He stepped in beside the cot Luke was lying down on. He heard Luke say something chilling him to the bone.

"I have accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father," Luke muttered as Anakin placed a hand on his child's shoulder. He closed his eyes prepared to push this nightmare away from him. Something in the Force told him this was more then a nightmare causing him to pause.

"Come with me," Luke muttered again. It felt weird to be listening to half of the conversation. Luke stopped and tilted his head a bit as if he was listening for a minute before saying something that caused Anakin's breath to catch in his throat. "Then my father is truly dead."

"Luke, wake up," Anakin whispered his name lightly feeling his heart sink at the last comment. My father is truly dead? Was he that bad off in the dark side? Luke fell silent as his eyes opened. After a minute Luke focused his attention on him with a confused expression. He hesitated before finally asking the question burning on his mind, was it a nightmare or a memory? "Where you having a nightmare? You were talking in your sleep."

Luke looked away from him making Anakin realize this was more then a nightmare, it was a conversation he had with his dark side personality. "I was hoping to…"

"It's all right, Luke," Anakin wanted nothing more then to rid Luke of these memories. His heart was aching from Luke's reactions. He wasn't sure what happened or what he did to them, it appeared to affect the twins emotionally. "I don't know what happened between my alter self and you. That is not the kind of future your mother and I had in mind."

"I know," Luke glanced up at Anakin with a saddened expression. "Leia and I will be heading back soon without you and mom. Its not fair and this is torture. I'm not prepared to leave yet, I want to spend more time with you and mom."

Anakin was silent for a moment as he hugged Luke to him. He didn't know what to say to his son to make things right again. His heart was breaking in two just by listening to Luke get things off his chest. The more he listened, the more he realized falling to the dark side destroyed any chance of developing a true relationship with his children. He was thankful Luke and Leia laid everything on the line. He had a second chance to do things right. As for his Luke and Leia from the distance future, it was too late. I'm sorry you had to go through life without us, my son.

Leia stood by the window looking into the interrogation room as Palpatine continued to deny killing Count Dooku and several other murders that happened while he was in power. She shook her head knowing he was the reason. He was nothing more then a lying oily snake.

/Daughter of Skywalker, I know you're here. Stop hiding and show yourself, or are you too much of a coward? Unlike your mother./

Leia shook her head as she glared towards the man as he smiled in satisfaction causing her to frown. /I'm no coward. I don't hide my intentions like you do. You destroyed my family before I was born by tempting my father to the dark side. If anyone is a coward, its you./

Palpatine turned his head in her direction causing Leia to curse. He used that to pin point her location. She took a deep breath and slowly released it allowing her anger to dissipate in the Force.

/Why don't you come in here and tell me face to face./

/And give you the satisfaction?/ Leia shot back. /No thanks./

/I sense much anger in you, so much like your father./

Leia already half suspected she took after Anakin in more then a few things. Temperament and sarcasm appeared to be high on the list of things she shared in common with Anakin. The ability to lead came from both parents causing her to smile a bit. Her looks and politics were solely her mother. Traveling back in time allowed her to realize how much she was like her father, making it clear she had to be cautious.

Padme approached from behind Leia as she glanced at her mother with a warm smile. "Palpatine wants you in there."

Leia shook her head as she watched the man. She didn't want to be near that man but if he's pushing for her to be in there…. She started to head towards the door as Padme placed her hand onto her shoulder. "You don't have to do this. You and your brother suffered enough from him."

Leia paused for a moment as she turned her attention to Padme with a frown. "I have to do this. That man has done nothing but evil in my time and he's the reason that Tarkin had the power to blow up Alderaan. We need the coordinates to destroy the Death Star before it's completed."

"I want Mace in there with you, just in case he attempts to attack you with Force lightning," Padme explained with concern as Leia gave a short nod in agreement.

"I can agree with that," Leia gave a slight smile as she walked towards the door. She entered the room as Palpatine looked pleased to see her. He was tracking her through the Force, she sensed him brushing his mind up against hers causing her to shiver. She began to wonder whose idea was it to remove the Ysalmari from Palpatine. She also remembered one of the two animals was close by but not close enough to affect the Force while the other stayed at Palpatine's prison cell.

Leia approached the table as Palpatine looked up with a sickening smile as Mace stood off in the corner watching her with a neutral expression. She turned her attention back to Palpatine. "I'm here, where is the Death Star being built?"

Palpatine grinned causing Leia's skin to crawl. "Is that the only reason you agreed to speak with me, Leia Skywalker. You want to know the location of the Death Star?"

"The sooner we take it out the better," Leia coldly replied. "Tarkin used it to blow up Alderaan with."

Mace's expression turned to one of shock as Leia starred down Palpatine. "Where is it. Where is the location?"

"Ask Tarkin," Palpatine answered honestly. "He will know the location."

"This is General Windu, place Admiral Tarkin under arrest for treason and bring him in for questioning."

"Yes General."

Leia stared down Palpatine as he watched her with a neutral expression. She really hated this man. That thought alone caused him to grin sickly as she fought back the urge to shudder. He seemed to enjoy every dark thought she had. She had this sinking feeling she would make a prime candidate for being a Sith apprentice. On the other hand she preferred to keep what sanity she had left.

Rex pushed Tarkin into the interrogation room. He never liked this man but now he realized his misgivings about the man was correct. Tarkin was protesting about being arrested at first and demanded a lawyer. Padme found the man a lawyer but refused to represent him herself. "Sit here, your lawyer should be here shortly."

Tarkin didn't acknowledge him but continued to give him a righteous stare. He may not be so righteous staring as soon as the man realizes what this was about. By the sounds of it from Leia, he was the reason Alderaan was blown up. He was the one to give the order.

Rex turned towards the door as a man and Padme entered the interrogation room. "Senator."

"Captain, this is Daren Nepal and he's agreed to represent Admiral Tarkin," Padme introduced with a frown.

"I refuse to be represented by someone of your choosing Senator," Tarkin snipped angrily. "Only Chancellor Palpatine can choose they lawyer for me."

"Palpatine is under arrest for high treason," Padme pointed out with a frown. "Which is the reason you're in here now. You won't answer the question so we have to go to these means. Either we get the coordinates from you or we splice your computers. We have more then enough evidence against Palpatine to proceed with a trial. And your name came up."

"Came up for what?" Tarkin questioned as he tilted his head to the side.

"The Death Star location."

Everyone turned to see Leia standing in the door as she closed it behind her as the color drained from Tarkin's face. "I asked Palpatine for the location and he said he didn't know but you would."

"We haven't started construction yet, but the prototype," Tarkin started to speak as Rex watched the color drain from Leia's face. He had a feeling she knew the location.

"In the middle of that black hole close to Kessel?" Leia questioned as Tarkin stared at Leia with a suspicious expression.

"Who are you?" Tarkin questioned with a frown. "Are you a spy?"

"No I'm not," Leia answered with a neutral expression. "And that is on a need to know bases. By the way your answers can't be trusted, I already have a team of splicers working on your computers."

Tarkin fell silent as Rex watched Leia with a curious expression. She must know Tarkin well enough to know he would lie about things. That really made him curious about their relationship in the future and how it played out. His comlink beeped for attention as he answered it.

"Captain, we have the coordinates requested by Senator Skywalker for the Death Star location. It's a scary piece of work, no wonder she wants it gone."

"Copy that, we'll be in touch shortly," Rex answered as Tarkin's head snapped towards Leia eyes going wide. That's one way to drop the bomb about who Leia was. Leia starred at Tarkin with an expression he saw Anakin give Ahsoka more then a few times, yes Admiral this was Anakin's daughter he thought silently to himself.

Anakin followed Luke down the ramp as they walked towards Obi-Wan who was waiting for them. Leia was standing beside Obi-Wan with a slight smile on her face. "Leia, what's going on?"

"Death Star is taken care of," Leia answered as Anakin felt confused by the name as Luke's eyes widened in shock.

"What's the Death Star?" Anakin questioned in confusion as Leia looked surprised by his question.

"Tarkin used it to blow up Alderaan with," Leia explained with a frown.

"I never liked that man," Anakin muttered under his breath. He glanced at Luke with a curious expression. "Did he refuse to leave the Death Star and died with it?"

"Pretty much," Luke answered honestly.

"Leia, I'm almost afraid to ask this but was I there holding you back?" Anakin questioned in a curious tone as Leia nodded.

"How did you…." Leia started to question as Anakin raised a hand to prevent her from speaking further.

"The Force showed me, I didn't know what the name of the station was but…" Anakin paused for a second as Leia shook her head sadly. "I promise we'll destroy the station and the plans."

"Thanks dad," Leia gave a warm smile as she glanced at Luke and frowned. "Did you get clues as how to get back?"

"Yes," Luke answered honestly as he glanced at Anakin then turned his attention back to Leia. "I'll explain it once we're in the air."

"Good, we don't belong in this time and we really should get back," Leia spoke with a neutral expression. "It's been a pleasure getting to know who are our parents are."

Luke nodded in agreement as Anakin walked to Padme's side and kissed her just the way she liked it. "Ani, the kids are watching."

"So?" Anakin questioned with a mischief grin. "That's a preview for tonight."

"You're feeling naughty, I can go with that," Padme smirked as Anakin grinned in turn. "First, we should see them off."

"Right," Anakin agreed as he turned his attention to Luke who was discussing something with Obi-Wan. He noticed a data disk in Luke's hand. He turned his attention to Leia. "Let's get you three home."

Anakin hugged Luke, Leia, and Ben closely to him as Padme waited her turn. Leia broke free and hugged Padme tightly to her. "You'll be fine."

"I know," Luke broke away as Padme hugged Luke and Ben next. "I'm going to miss you."

"It won't be for long," Padme gave a slight smile. "We love you. Just remember that."

Luke nodded as he glanced at Leia as they headed up the ramp of Jade's Shadow. Ben trailed behind them as Luke turned around and hit the lever to close the ramp. /Thank you./ Anakin sent through the Force to his children and grandchild. /You prevented me from making a terrible mistake./

Anakin felt a slight tug on his sleeve as he looked down at Padme who had a perplexed expression on her face. "What is it, Padme? Are you all right?"

"Anakin, it's time, the babies are coming," Padme answered with wide eyes.

"Lets get to the med ward," Anakin gave an excited grin. After eight long months, it was time to meet his children. He watched as the Jade's Shadow lifted off the platform and climbed for space. "This is General Skywalker, the Jade's Shadow has clearance for immediate departure."

"Yes General."

"Dad, what's the plan?" Ben questioned as he sat down in the chair behind the pilots seat as Leia sat down in the co-pilots seat.

"To get back we have to set coordinates for Yavin Four and scan the worm hole in order to be pulled back to our time," Luke explained as Leia went about scanning the worm hole then loading the hyperspace coordinates.

"That's it?" Ben questioned in curiosity as Luke nodded in agreement. "I hope not too much has changed. No Yuuzhan Vong army would be nice and hopefully I'm still alive would really be nice."

"Aren't we forgetting something?" Leia questioned with a concerned expression. "The coordinates to that Rogue Planet?"

"Obi-Wan gave me this disk with the coordinates," Luke explained with a slight smile. "With any hope the planet is still there. If not, its a good place to pick up the trail with."

"Ready?" Leia questioned in curiosity as Leia and Ben nodded in agreement.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Ben answered with a worried expression. "I love you dad and Aunt Leia."

"We love you too, son," Luke stood up and gave Ben a hug. "Let's get this over with. Leia, lets make the jump."

Leia gave a short nod as she pulled down on the lever as the stars turned into lines. A bright light filled the cockpit as everything went black.
