I hate you!
You were my brother Anakin I loved you!
Padme' woke up to Anakin's screams she ran to his room to find Anakin thrashing in his bed she tried to wake him and when she couldn't she called Obi-Wan, I can't wake him.
Obi-Wan reached to touch his shoulder at the touch Obi-Wan was thrown back and Anakin huddled into the corner shaking in fright.
Anakin it's okay it's Padme' your safe remember you escaped.
Sorry Angel, I'm alright I'll be fine, just forget about it.
No Ani, I want to help you. Fine Angel, Anakin said, most of the time it's Mustafar, Obi-Wan went pale at the thought and other times it's Vader's victims and then the rest of the time it's about Palpatine torturing me.
Daddy, Luke and Leia said simultaneously no one had noticed them enter.
Luke and Leia came in and hugged him.
Anakin just started crying, then he said, I'm so sorry. For what daddy?
For not being there for you and Luke, princess.
It's not your fault Dad, Luke said.
Thanks but shouldn't you kids be in bed?
Listen to your Father he is right you know it's time for you guys to be in bed.
Yes Mom, they both said simultaneously. Obi-Wan left with the twins.
I don't want to be alone Angel. Come with me then Ani and she led him to her room.
Thanks Angel, Anakin said leaning in and kissing her softly and pulling her into his arms as they drifted of to sleep together.
Anakin woke up in the morning with his Angel in his arms, he sighed contently.
He leaned down and kissed her cheek then he moved kissing her neck, Padme' moaned and rolled over and leaned up and kissed him, then they pulled into each other's arms. Then Padme' got up and said you'd better get up to were going to have a busy day today.
Fine he grumbled good naturedly. Before getting up and pulling her into a light kiss.
I love you Angel, I love you too Ani.
Luke gave Anakin a hug when he woke up as did Leia greatly pleasing Anakin.
When Obi-Wan entered for breakfast he finally got to talk to Anakin.
Hey Obi-Wan you got old well I was gone said Anakin in a good natured vibe, you copied my beard.
I didn't really have much choice pretty soon it will be gone. It's good to have you back old friend, same here I missed you older friend, Anakin joked causing them all to laugh, Anakin hissed in a sharp breath as the laughing aggravated his broken ribs and the pretty fresh lightsaber wounds.
Are you okay Ani? Padme' Asked
Yea I'll be fine Angel. I think you need to see a doctor. Obi-Wan stated.
I've been fine for the past nineteen years. That doesn't mean it's okay Dad, Luke said.
Maybe after I talk with the rebel alliance.
Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, General Dodonna, and Admiral Ackbar were meeting Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Padme' Amidala, they had no idea Anakin Skywalker would be there to.
If you guys are wondering why we called this meeting is we needed to talk to you before we all went to the main meeting. Padme' said.
Anakin entered only Obi-Wan and Padme' were not surprised.
Why did you bring Vader here? Mothma asked.
He's not Vader, Vader is a clone of Anakin, Palpatine always had a back-up plan if he couldn't turn Anakin to the dark side, Obi-Wan said.
I've been Palpatine's prisoner since the night of Order 66 nineteen years ago. Anakin said.
We need proof. Admiral Ackbar said.
So you do. I can hardly ask you to look into my mind like I did with Obi-Wan.
You were with us when Vader's last massacre happened. Yes Obi-Wan but we have no one outside us and the twins to confirm that.
I do have one way. Anakin slowly removed his tunic to show them his scars.
Everyone in the room gasped including Obi-Wan and Padme' when they saw the extent of his injuries.
He had burn marks all across his body from Sith Lightening and Electro staffs and extensive slashes from LightWhips and then the worst were long deep gashes all around from Sidious and Vader's Lightsabers, and they were layers upon layers of bruises and scars and his arms were slightly disfigured along with his ribs from improperly healed broken bones. His gashes were obviously infected. And they could tell he had been starved as his ribs protruded massively.
Ani, Padme' said completely horrified and utterly worried, she reached her hand out to touch him as he flinched away when she touched one of his lightsaber gashes.
Bail and Mon were both horrified by the treatment he had received as was Admiral Ackbar and General Dodonna.
It's fine I'm fine, there is nothing to worry about just give it awhile it's not like when I was on the Star Destroyer I went to the medbay. Anakin said it's not like this is any new.
That doesn't mean it's alright, Ani.
I'll deal with it like I always do. Anakin stated simply. You don't have to worry about me.
That's my job Ani I'm your wife I have a right to worry about you. Padme' declared.
You have not changed a bit still stubborn as ever, fine I will go to the medbay after the meeting. Anakin said.
Your saying Padme' is stubborn? Have you forgotten your own legendary stubbornness? Obi-Wan asked.
Of course not, but Padme' still wins in any argument, right Angel?
You are right I do know how to deal with Skywalkers, I have a lot of experience Ani, Padme' said.
Alright I think it's time we go to that meeting, I believe we all have enough proof, Bail said.
Yes let's go Mon said.
They all entered together, the twins were waiting for them.
Why did you bring Vader here? A rebel asked.
