Wow, this was a tough one to do and this is centered around Anakin and Padme and is also emotional. So, college is good and I have my first quiz, which is for history class, is in a couple of days and I'm quite good with history so I'll do good in that and a paper due tomorrow or today. Yipee.

Thanks to everyone who has favorited, followed and reviewed for this story and my other's.

I own nothing.

Enjoy.

Chapter 3

"Wait, so Padme is pregnant?" Ahsoka asked surprised.

"Yep snips, she's 4 months in, we don't know the gender, we want it to be a surprise." Anakin said with grin.

Ahsoka was walking down the Jedi Temple steps with Anakin. She was planning on visiting Padme but wanted to see her former Master first. When she had arrived she found him already heading to his and Padme's home at 500 Republica and decided to go with him.

"Well, congratulations on that, when did you find out?"

"Right after the Battle of Coruscant when everything was in order. She told me at the Senate Building. She was afraid I wouldn't take it well but I did." Anakin said.

"Just what the galaxy needs, more Skywalker's running around. You know that once your child or children are born they'll be strong in the Force and I could only imagine what Obi-Wan's reaction was like." Ahsoka said with a grin

Anakin rolled his eyes playfully and said," Very funny, Obi-Wan took it well, even though I knew he probably had a headache later. But I am letting them or it join the order, hopefully under my teaching or Obi-Wan's."

"Sounds like a plan, maybe I can be him/her's Aunt Ahsoka?"

"That could work, so, how have been your travels with The Doctor?"

"Great, seeing the new cultures and walks of life are amazing. It just shows how big the Universe is."

"Right, so, does he have any open slots?"

"For what?"

"Well, I'm not assigned to any missions right now and considering you once said that his ship could travel through time and space. Can I come along for a couple of trips?"

Ahsoka stopped and looked at her former Master in shock and said," Wait, you want to come? I thought you said you didn't trust him well enough?"

"Snips, you've been traveling with him and his companions for about 3 months and he helped us at our darkest hour when Coruscant was attacked. He's earned my trust."

Ahsoka breathed a sigh of relief and said," That's good and I know The Doctor and Jenny would be happy to let you come. I'm pretty sure yours and their love of machinery would make you guys quick friends."

"What about the other one named Clara?"

"She'll be glad as well, she does actually have a little crush on you though."

"Flattered, so where did The Doctor park the… what was it called?"

"The TARDIS. He actually parked it in an alley nearby.

Ahsoka led Anakin to the a nearby alleyway and the TARDIS was situated against a wall, the Police Call Box sign was glowing above the doors. She thought it was sort of a welcoming to Anakin and she brought out her key and unlocked the doors and opened them.

When they got inside she noticed no one was in the Console room and had to guess they either were somewhere in the TARDIS or out exploring Coruscant. She internally groaned on what trouble The Doctor could cause.

"Where is everyone?" Anakin asked.

"Don't know, Doctor, Jenny, Clara, T.J! Are you guys here?!" Ahsoka yelled.

"Coming Ahsoka." A familiar monotone voice said.

T.J came from the hallway and Ahsoka felt some emotions swirl from Anakin and she held his shoulder before he could do anything and she could see his hand near his Lightsaber.

"Relax Skyguy, he's friendly. Jenny reprogrammed him herself and made some modifications."

"T2-J023 or T.J at your service sir." He said and walked over to Anakin and held out a metallic hand.

Anakin was taken by surprise, shook his hand and said," Yeah likewise."

"I can see discomfort and alertness from your facial readings. I am aware of what I am and what I used to do. I apologize and wish to have your trust." T.J said.

"Well, as long as you're not trying to kill me, we're good then." Anakin said with a smirk.

"Good, Ahsoka, Master Jenny and The Doctor are in the TARDIS, Master Jenny is working on Lightsaber training while The Doctor is eating in the kitchen and Miss Oswald is reading in the library. I was assigned by The Doctor to check for intruders incase the door was unlocked."

"Well I locked it as soon as I got out. Thanks and tell The Doctor I have someone who wants to talk to him."

"No need Tano I heard." The Doctor said as he strode in and he was licking his hands.

"Oh, T.J can you get Jenny and Clara then?"

"Yes Ahsoka." T.J said and left to get them.

"So what's the 411?"

Anakin's face clouded with confusion and said," 411?"

"It's an Earth term. Well Doctor, Anakin wants to go on a trip, is that ok?"

"Of course! More the merrier, welcome aboard Skyboy!" The Doctor said and shook Anakin's hand.

Anakin looked somewhat annoyed but had enough self-control not to do anything rash and said," Right, so, you have an destinations in mind?"

The Doctor tapped his chin and said," A couple, but I assume you might want to visit your home planet, unless Corusant is?"

Ahsoka had a feeling of dread and felt through The Force that Anakin had sorrow and anger when Tatooine was mentioned. She placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and he tensed a little.

The Doctor seemed to pick up on that and said," I'm sorry, is something wrong?"

"Anakin doesn't like to talk about where he came from, a lot had happened that he wished not to talk about."

The Doctor nodded and said," Understood, T.J, get Jenny and Clara and tell them we'll leaving and arriving on a planet soon."

The Doctor looked at Anakin and said," Now there are a few rules. 1. Don't wander off. 2. The Doctor lies. 3. Never run when you are scared. 4. Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, then always ignore a coincidence. 5. Never knowingly be serious. 6. Time is not the boss of you. Follow them."

Anakin smirked and said," I'll try to follow them."

"I'm guessing your rule breaker then?"

"You have no idea." Ahsoka muttered knowingly.

"Hey!"

"Good, rules are rubbish; I don't follow them either unless needed. So, have any places in mind or I can choose myself. Or maybe we can get Padme with us and travel to a nice vacation planet. But, I don't do domestics."

"Dad, you do know you and I traveled with our in-laws right?" Jenny said as she and Clara came into the room.

"Yes but it's complicated." The Doctor said.

"We're not bringing Padme." Anakin gruffly said.

"How come? Oh I get it, Senator things, I got it, busy then."

"No she's pregnant."

"She is? Well congratulations!" Jenny said, even though she was aware of what was going to happen.

"Yeah, do you two know if it's going to be a boy or girl?" Clara asked with a smile.

Anakin shrugged and said," We want it to be a surprise."

"Good, surprises are good, c'mon, let's go to 500 Republica to visit Padme first. I know what you said, but I'm pretty sure my daughter and my companions want to see her so let's get a shift on." The Doctor said and typed in the name and pulled the lever.

Padme was sitting on her couch in the living room of her apartment, reading some Senate Bills from her Data Pad. She laid a hand on her belly and smiled a little when she felt a kick. She couldn't believe she was going to be a mother in a couple of months. She remembered she first told Anakin and saw the pure joy on his face and then she told Obi-Wan and he congratulated them and he hoped to be a great Uncle to them. Also she did laugh when Anakin joked that he hoped his kid could be just like him and that put Obi-Wan in a sour mood and mumbled about 'crazy Skywalker's'.

The quietness of her apartment was soon filled with a sort of grinding, wheezing sound that she couldn't quite pinpoint.

"Mistress Padme, are you alright, there is a terrible noise coming from somewhere." 3PO said, as he walked from the kitchen.

"I'm fine 3PO, stay where you are." Padme said, as she opened a drawer and pulled out a blaster and pressed a button.

An object of sorts soon started to appear and reappear out of nowhere in the corner of the room and it soon stood their fully materialized a second later. For some odd reason it looked familiar to her but she couldn't place it.

But she heard the door open to see Captain Typho and a couple of Naboo guards come in.

"M'lady, what's the problem, are you ok? Are you going into labor?" He asked.

"I'm fine Captain, but we seem to have an intruder of sorts." She said.

"Get behind the couch Senator, we'll handle this." He said and signaled his men to aim.

"I can take care of myself Captain."

"I must in-"

The door opened and a man came out and said," Here we are everyone! 500-"

"Freeze, don't move!" Captain Typho ordered.

The man sighed heavily, held up his hands and said," Really more guns? Just once I would like to leave the TARDIS without someone pointing a weapon at me."

"You should've let Ahsoka or myself go out first Doctor." A familiar voice said.

Padme blinked in surprise at the voice and said," Anakin, are you in there?"

Anakin, Ahsoka and a couple of other people walked out of the TARDIS, and she wasn't sure how all of them could fit in such a tiny space. The people who were holding blasters were soon lowered when Padme gave them a look. Anakin then bumped his shoulder on The Doctor's. Which earned him a look from Padme and Ahsoka.

"What?"

"What in the world is going on? And what is that?" Padme asked and pointed at the TARDIS.

Before Anakin or The Doctor could respond, Ahsoka beat them to it and said, "Well Padme, remember when I told you about my traveling?"

"Oh yes, you said you were traveling with a man named The Doctor, who I assume is this gentleman right here?"

"Pretty much."

Padme looked at The Doctor and inspected him. He was the same height as Anakin, had floppy hair, a big chin, dress shoes, formal jeans, some casual attire, a coat and a Bowtie, which she considered odd on some. He looked how Ahsoka described him, she also had the feeling she knew him before today but didn't know why.

"Well Doctor, it's an honor to finally meet you, Ahsoka has said a lot about you. Padme Amidalia Skywalker." Padme said and held out her hand.

It still felt odd was when she said Skywalker, she guessed it just felt odd saying her married name now, considering her marriage to Anakin had been secret for 3 years. But now the Jedi Order had started to change their views on attachments and other things, so she had to get used to it.

The Doctor smiled and then shook her hand and said," The Doctor at your service. Little Soka has talked a lot about you. And you are stunning."

Padme blushed a little but could see Anakin getting agitated a little and he then coughed loudly, which got the attention of The Doctor.

"Sorry."

"It's alright, now if you don't mind me asking, why are you all here?"

Ahsoka smirked and said," Well, you do have some explaining to do about that." She finished and causally pointed at her stomach.

Padme looked and blushed a little and said," Right, I'm so sorry Ahsoka, that I didn't get a chance to tell you."

"Its fine, I should be me who should be apologizing, 4 months in and I didn't know."

"Let's continue this inside the TARDIS shall we? I'm sure Ahsoka would like to show you inside." The Doctor said.

Captain Typho gave a scrutinizing glare at The Doctor and then looked at Padme and said, "M'lady, we don't know the intentions of this man, what if-"

"Don't worry Captain, I'll be fine, we have Master Skywalker and Miss Tano here with us and The Doctor here helped us when the Planet was attacked, I can see he can be trusted." Padme rationalized.

Typho conceded and said," Alright, we'll be back at our stations if you need us." He said and he and his men left.

"Now then, how on Naboo did you all fit in there?" Padme asked.

Everyone who knew gave her smirk and The Doctor snapped his fingers and the TARDIS doors opened. Padme's eyes widened as she closer and looked inside the vastness of the TARDIS and felt a pair of comforting hands on her shoulders and knew it was Anakin.

Padme then walked outside and checked around and then went back inside.

Anakin looked on in amusement as his wife looked totally awestruck and not professional for once but also had some worry too because he didn't know what would happen.

"Well, got anything to say?" Jenny asked.

"This is quite extraordinary. Although, you should've sprung for something more brighter." Padme said.

The Doctor's face fell and he grumbled something while everyone else chuckled.

"Senator, he gets in a mood when he doesn't get the right response." Jenny said with a smirk.

"Thank you Jen, now, where do you all want to go?" The Doctor said as he leaned on the console.

"Doctor, I told you Padme can't come, she's pregnant." Anakin said.

Padme crossed her arms and said," Anakin, I'm pregnant, not immobile or helpless, I can take care of myself."

"I'm just looking out for you and the baby." Anakin countered.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, I've taken a pregnant woman traveling before. Let's hope it's nothing like River." The Doctor whispered to Jenny and she nodded.

"What? Why did you do that?" Ahsoka asked.

"Not important, long story short, I ended up getting married and traveling with my in-laws and who lot of Universe stuff happened." The Doctor said.

Padme thought for a second and then said," Doctor, may I talk to you and your daughter in private please?"

The Doctor and Jenny looked surprised with Jenny saying," Sure thing, meet us in our office."

Clara and Ahsoka looked at each other in confusion with Clara saying," You two have an office?"

"Yes Clara I do, mostly used it during my 4th Regeneration. Oh, wonder if there any Jelly Babies in there!" He said with glee and started walking off.

"Follow us Senator." Jenny said and the both of them walked after The Doctor.

They walked down the hall to see The Doctor unlocking a door and opening and holding it out for them.

"After you." The Doctor said with his arms to the door.

"Thank you Doctor." Padme said and walked in with Jenny and The Doctor after her.

The room was a private study with a wooden desk, robotic parts around, some bookshelves filled with stuff and a bag of Jelly Babies.

"I see T.J hasn't tidied up in here, Jenny can you get him?"

"Dad, he isn't a cleaning droid." Jenny said and closed the door.

"Who's T.J?" Padme asked and sat in a chair.

"Reprogrammed Commando Droid that Jenny fixed up but never mind that, what is it you want to talk about?" The Doctor asked and leaned on the desk.

Padme pursed her lips and said," Well, of course, Ani and I have been thrilled about having our child but. He's been moody lately and I've finally got him to talk. He misses his mother."

The Doctor nodded with understanding and said," Oh I get it, you want us to visit his mother and let her see how you guys are faring, sounds fun."

"Dad, Anakin's mum is dead." Jenny said sadly.

Padme looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said," How did you know that?"

"Ask Ahsoka. But what happened?" The Doctor asked.

"3 years ago, when Anakin was my bodyguard and he was still a Padawan, he had nightmares of his mother, Shmi Skywalker, dying. When he and I finally went to Tatooine we found out from his Stepfather that she was kidnapped by Tusken Raiders, who held her captive and tortured her. Anakin went to find her and he did but she died in his arms. Out of sadness and anger he killed all of them and he took her body back and buried her back at his Stepfather's home." Padme said and wiped away a tear.

The Doctor gave her a solemn look and said," I'm very sorry, I'm truly am. But, we can't change what happened, it's a fixed point and changing it will be disastrous."

Padme shook her head, took a breath and said," I understand but that's not what I am asking. I'm asking if you could take us when Anakin was 9 on Tatooine, right around when he was taken with Master Qui-Gon to the Jedi Temple. It would bring him peace if he could say goodbye to her properly. It's all I ask, please."

'What do you think dad, you think we should do this?' Jenny asked.

'It's risky but, we should.' The Doctor said and nodded.

"Padme, we will be honored." Jenny said with a slight smile.

Padme smiled and said," Thank you both very much, how can I repay you?"

The Doctor waved her off and said," No need, you're a friend. Now, so we're going 13 years into the past on the planet Tatooine. Anything else?"

"Yes it was the afternoon on a Tuesday in the small town of Mos Espa."

"Good, all of that information will help, let's go… are we going to tell him?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise."

"Alright. Surprises are good."

It was a normal afternoon on Tatooine with its twin suns blazing, beings of different species walking about while no one seemed to notice or bother seeing a blue box materializing out of thin air in a nearby alley way near the Skywalker home. Jenny checked the coordinates and nodded that they were in the right place.

"Alright everyone, here we are, the vacation planet of Beachhead and yes, that's the real name. Skywalker, would you like to go first?" The Doctor said.

Anakin shrugged and said," Sure, why not."

Anakin opened the doors and was met with a blasting, familiar heat and he looked around to see he was in an Alleyway with sand below his feet and the familiar dryness of his old home planet. His anger rose for a second but he soon took a couple of breaths and marched in and tried to be as calm as possible.

"Doctor! I thought I told you not to bring me here!" Anakin said through gritted teeth.

Padme knew what was going through his mind so she got between him and The Doctor and he stopped.

"Anakin, I asked him to take us here."

Anakin looked at her in shock and said," Why? You know why I don't go here anymore."

Jenny chose the time to butt in and said," If I may Master Jedi. We brought you at a particular date, the day you left Tatooine."

Anakin's eyes widened in shock and was about to say something but Jenny continued.

"You've experienced grief and guilt about not being with her and you the last time you were with her was when she died. But now you can bury all of that when you see her here, one last time. You can't tell her too much, like her own death because Time won't allow it. Go out there and see her." Jenny said.

"Very good wording Jen, proud of you." Ahsoka said impressed.

"Learned from the best, Master." Jenny said and did a fake bow.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to. You can just look from a distance and see her and not talk to her." The Doctor said.

Anakin was still rattled by what was going on. He missed his mother so bad and wished she was still alive and he knew he couldn't save her but to see her one last time would be a good thing instead of seeing her die in his arms.

Anakin looked up and said," Alright, I'm going out there, I think by now I'm saying my final goodbye to her before I left." He said and went out.

"I'm going out with him." Padme said and went after him.

"Should we do something?" Ahsoka asked.

"If you want to go out and see then we have to do it at a distance. This place is scummy and there are slavers around here." Jenny said.

Anakin walked out of the Alleyway, he hid his Force Signature so Qui-Gon wouldn't notice him and turned to see he was on his old street or however it was called. He looked around and his eyes widened, he saw his mother, watching his younger self go off with Qui-Gon, Jar Jar and Padme. He made sure to hide so they wouldn't see him.

He looked again and saw they were out of eyesight and started walking to his mother, he felt like running to her and hug her tightly but he didn't want to scare her and accidently cause his younger self and the others to come and see him because that would spell trouble.

He felt a tapping on his shoulder and spun around to find Padme behind him with everyone else.

"What?"

"Go Ani, The Doctor and Jenny said we have a limited time." Padme said.

Anakin nodded and started walking to her and felt a lump in his throat but kept his composure.

He heard a couple of sniffs from her and he felt guilty for leaving her back then… or now, Ahsoka was right, Time Travel was confusing. But in the long run, he did become a Jedi and was well known.

He was near her and was in talking distance and said," Is something the matter miss?"

His mother didn't turn around but said," It's nothing, just seeing my son off, he was recently freed and now will be trained as a Jedi."

His heart clenched a little from hearing her voice after so long but kept his composure and said, "Oh, that's good for him, I saw earlier and I did recognize him as Anakin Skywalker, the kid who won the Pod Race."

She finally turned around and Anakin looked at her and tried to remember what she looked like, not when she was beaten and tortured. But her eyes narrowed slightly with her looking at him as if she recognized him and he was hoping that she didn't.

"Yes, nearly scare me half to death but he won, I'm guessing you betted on it or a fan?"

"No, I just watch it for the enjoyment and high speed thrill. I was once a Pod Racer but I quit after losing my hand and getting a scar on the side of my face." Anakin lied.

Shmi crossed her arms and gave him a look that reminded him of when she used to scold him.

"Is that all or do you have anything more to explain, Ani?" She said.

Anakin hoped his shock didn't show and he couldn't have sworn he heard a gasp from the Alley-way everyone else was at and he fiend confusion.

"I'm sorry? My name is… Luke… Lars." Anakin said, trying to cover up and he also felt the wave of annoyance coming from the Alley.

Shmi put a hand on his shoulder, gave him a kind look that he remembered she used to give him and said," You think I won't recognize my own son? Although I'm glad to see you but also confused on how you are here, because I just said goodbye to you moments ago and the fact you aged from 9 to what I'm assuming to be early 20's since then. You have a lot explaining to Mr."

Before Anakin could remotely respond to what just happened, someone cleared their voice and he turned around to see The Doctor.

"I can help explain, Miss Skywalker. We should continue this inside." The Doctor said.

Shmi allowed everyone to come inside but her eyes widened and sent a questioning look to Anakin when she saw Padme and her Pregnant form. Also he was glad she wasn't wearing one of her elegant Senator robes but clothes that almost matched the ones when she was on the Malevolence and he also knew he had a lot more explaining to do due to that.

When they got inside Anakin felt like it was just yesterday he was in his old home or just a few minutes ago… depending on how you see it.

They got settled in the kitchen and Anakin sat next to his mother while Padme sat next to him and everyone else either sat or stood up.

"So, to start things off, my name is The Doctor and this is my daughter Jenny, we're Time Travelers. And as you can see, we've brought the future version of your son by the request of his wife, who's sitting next to you." The Doctor said.

Shmi nodded in understanding then smiled, looked at Anakin and said," I did notice you seemed to have a crush on her when you talked and showed your inventions to her."

Anakin and Padme blushed a little bit with Anakin saying," Yeah, I did, a decade later we met again and we married."

"Was I there?" Shmi asked.

Anakin felt a pang in his heart and said," No, our marriage was a secret, The Jedi Code forbade attachments until recently."

"Oh, then I see that I have a grandchild or grandchildren on the way? How far are you along?"

Padme placed a hand on her belly, smiled a little bit and said," 4 months in, we don't know the gender because we want to be surprised. If it's a boy, we'll name him Luke and if it's a girl, Leia."

"Congratulations then, I must have been thrilled when I heard the news then?"

Padme didn't say anything for a second and then said," Yes… you were."

Anakin could see the gears in his mother's head turning and she then said," If any of you don't mind, my I talk to these two in private?"

"No it's fine Mrs. Skywalker. We'll meet you two back at the TARDIS." Jenny said and she left the house with everyone else.

There was silence for a few moments and both Padme and Anakin were waiting for Shmi to speak.

"I'm dead, aren't I?" She said.

"No mom, you aren't, you live on Coruscant with us." Anakin lied.

Shmi gave him a stern look and said," Anakin Skywalker, I know when you are lying."

Anakin had a look of defeat that soon turned to guilt and sorrow and said," Yes, you are, you died in my arms, I couldn't save you."

Padme put a comforting hand as Anakin let out a small sob. She knew he was remembering what had happened on that day.

Shmi proceeded to hug Anakin and he soon let the tears flow and both women he cared for hugged him. They stayed that way and the only sound was Anakin's crying, that soon started to die down.

"I-I've been missing you lately, and knowing that you wouldn't get the chance to meet your grandchild. When you died, I-I did something horrendous that you would frown upon and think I was a monster."

"You're not a monster Anakin, you made a mistake, out of anger and sorrow. You can't change what happened but you can make your future the way you want it to be. You're going to be a father and help bring your child into the Galaxy. I am proud of you, proud to be your mother. I know that when I die, you'll blame yourself and I will never blame you for not coming sooner, but it's a part of life and you're going to have to accept it."

Anakin nodded and let the words sink in and he as if a weight was lifted off of his shoulders.

"Thank you, I kept blaming myself all of this time and I guess I needed to hear that I wasn't my fault from you." Anakin said.

"Good. Is there anything else that has happened in your time that you are allowed to say?" Shmi asked.

"Nothing we can think of but it was great to see you once again Shmi, even though it wasn't in the conventional sense." Padme said and hugged her.

"Same here and keep my Ani safe. Also make sure to tell your child or kids about their grandmother." Shmi said.

Padme smiled and said, "I will, and I promise we'll tell him/her about their grandmother. But it's Anakin who keeps me safe sometimes."

"Try almost on a regular basis, you do have a knack for getting into trouble." Anakin said with a smirk and got a glare from his wife.

Anakin then hugged his mom and wished he could stay but he couldn't, which made his heart clench and he remembered the last time he saw her was when she was tortured and clinging to life, just to see him one more time. But now he could remember her how she was before that happened and he felt sorry for his... other self when he would return when he started to have the nightmares of her dying but knew he would see her again with help from a Time Traveling alien.

They stopped hugging with his mom putting a comforting hand on his shoulder and said," I will see you again I hope. You've made me so proud to be your mother. I love you."

Anakin sniffed a little and said," I love you too mom."

After that him and Padme were walking back to the TARDIS, holding hands.

"Padme, Angel, thank you, for doing this for me." He said and kissed her head.

"My pleasure, I felt like you needed to see her and considering Ahsoka happens to travel with Time and Space Traveling humanoid I thought it was a good idea. You needed closure." She said in a soft tone.

"At least now I fully trust The Doctor now, but still sense a lot of pain in him and he hides it well. But there is a whole lot of good in him too. His daughter's signature is bright with a little bit of pain but overall their genuinely good people."

"That's good to hear, but let's move this along, I forgot how hot this planet is and I'm afraid of fainting of exhaustion and end up giving birth."

Anakin chuckled a little and they soon got back into the TARDIS and they were off back to their own time.

I hope I got Shmi's character down in this but I hadn't watched the Prequel's in a while, unless you count clips online or looking it up on Wookiepedia. And Luke and Leia will be making their official deput soon and soon a secret of Padme's will be revealed soon.

Till next time.
