It's been around three years since Anakin and Padme married and the start of the Clone Wars. After becoming a Jedi Knight, Anakin became a General in the war and was away periodically for those three years. Padme and Anakin saw each other when they could and when they couldn't they managed to find time to communicated through the holocam.
When Padme wasn't dealing with Senate related issues, Palpatine use her as one of his secret weapon in the war. She became a General in the war for the Separatist. Not many knew this secret. The only separatist leader who knew was Dooku, who wasn't too keen on the idea. After being threaten by Palpatine many times he finally accepted it. The Jedi had no idea who this new General was all they knew was whoever this was was dangerous and not very often failed. They also knew this General worked more behind the scenes than actually fighting in battle, but that didn't stop them from being fearful of her. The few who managed to find her were left dead with nothing but blade marks on them.
Padme was assigned to a mission on the plant of Felucia. She went there to stop the Jedi from attacking one of the Separatist's base there, which held many of their battle plans.
She watched the battle play out on the scene, directing the droids on where to go and what to do.
"They are accessing the side doors Lieutenant BB5." She told one of the commanding droids.
"Roger. Roger. We ha-" the droid started to say before it was cut off.
oh no. She looked at the camera to see none other than Anakin her husband cutting through the door with a group of clones behind.
Shit. Shit. Shit. He wasn't to be on this mission.
She tried contacting more droids to stop them, but no one answered.
Crap I need to leave before he senses me here.
She looked at the camera and saw that they managed to get in. They were running through the halls towards her.
Okay they still need to make it up a couple floors before they make it to me.
She shut down all the elevators and locked down all the doors through out the whole building hoping to buy her some time.
She grabbed whatever information she could and left setting the system to self-destruct in ten minutes.
Hopefully that is enough time to get out and hopefully Anakin isn't in the way when this goes off.
She runs down through the corridors hearings smalls explosions and guns going off.
Man they are getting closer than I thought.
She unlocks one of the doors and runs through it. When she turned the corner she sees she must have taken a wrong turn cause its a dead end. Thinking of where she messed up, she starts to turn around to go back when she hears.
"You there stop."
She stopped running, thankful she was wearing her cloak to cover up some of her face. She turned around and saw two clones pointing their guns at her.
"General Skywalker, we found someone, but they are no droid. I'm thinking they might be the General we've been looking for." she hears the one Clone say.
"Alright fives, We are on our way. Stay their and don't let them out of your sight. I want a word with whoever this is. " She hears Anakin growl into the intercom.
"You heard him." the Clone know as fives tells the other who sets his blaster to stun.
"Silly move." she takes out her lightsaber and ignites it before charging at the Clones as they start to blast at her. She defects every bolt before stabbing the one clone in the chest. She looks over at the other. She makes her way over to him as he shoots at her. He must have turned his blasters on. She thinks. She blocks every bolts when all of sudden she gets knocked to the ground. She looks and it turns out the clone she stabbed, must have had a little bit left in him and tripped causing her to loose her lightsaber.
She quickly dodges the bolts from the other clones and kicks his blaster of out of his hands in doing so her hood falls off.
Fives looks at her in shock. "Senator"
Before he has a chance to say anything else Padme locates her lightsaber and stabs him in the chest. He falls to the ground.
Before dying her says, "But we trusted you."
She stabs him one more time making sure he is dead so he can't tell Anakin.
She quicks runs down the hallway and around the corner. Once around the corner she hears people running and the sound of a lightsaber igniting.
"Fives!" she hears Anakin growl before making her way out the door and into her ship before being caught.
She looks down and sees Anakin running towards the ship, but he is too late as she is already flying off.
She arrives back on Coruscant sometime later. She discards of her ship, so it cannot be tracked back to her. She makes her way back to her apartment and changes her clothes before making her way over to the Chancellor's office to discuss her disappointing mission.
Once there, she knocks on the door and enters. She walks in and sees the Chancellor looking out the window.
"Oh Senate. Its so good to see you back." he turns around smiling at her. " How was the mission?"
"I guess it could have been worse."
"You failed." He growls at her." Did you at least mange to not leave behind the battle plans." He growls at her.
She looks down. "I grabbed them master I promise but-but I was attacked and I must have dropped them somewhere. I set the place to self-destruct so maybe they didn't have time to grab it."
"Oh but I just had a meeting with the Jedi and Skywalker and he was saying how he managed to find a disk containing the information."
"Im sor-"
"Do you understand that that disk had all of our attack moves on there."
"I know master I messed up. I'm sorry."
"You will be more than sorry."
She looks up and see him put his hands up ready to force shock her. Then she remembers.
"Wait! Wait! Master!" she opens up her clock that she has been using to hide what appears to be a slight bulge in her stomach.
He stops and looks at her in shock. "You're pregnant?"
Wow I manage to surprise him. This is a first.
"Yes. I just found out not to long ago." She pulls her clock closed to cover herself again.
Palpatine paces around thinking. "This might actually work in our favor. You may leave now."
"Maste-"
"I said leave child. You may be immune now from punishment, but don't anger me enough to stop caring about the life of the child."
She quickly leaves and returns back to her apartment.
Once there she looks at the time and sees that Anakin should be calling her soon. She grabs her holocam and waits untils his figure appears.
She smiles thinking he has definitely changed since they married three years ago. For one he no longer has that silly Padawan braid, now his hair longer and darker almost to his shoulders. He also has a scar across his eye one of the many scars he is covered in from his battles.
I swear everytime he comes home there is a new scar.
"You're late." she smiles.
"I know it has just been a rough day. I'm sorry."
"Anything you wanna talk about?"
"I almost got a hold of that General I was telling you about, but he got away killing two of my toopers." he clenches his fist in anger.
She pauses caught off guard. "I'm sure you'll get then soon enough." She smiles.
"i miss you so much my angel." He puts up his hand.
She puts up her hand and places it in his hologram hand.
"I miss you too" she touches her belly with the other hand but Anakin doesn't seem to notice.
"Ugh I gotta go Obi-Wan is wondering what happened to me" he rolls his eyes. "I love you. Hopefully I'll get time home soon." He sadly smiles.
"I love you too." She smiles and they disconnect.
She looks down at her belly. " Hopefully he'll be he to see you." She smiles.
