This chapter is someone else story just change a bit.

Time Skip

A couple years later

Most of the time, Padmé had no regrets about her decision to take her children and run. The others had faked her death quite believably, and from the little they had told her she truly believed that Anakin – no, not Anakin, he was Vader now and she should damn well know that by now even in her own thoughts – thought her and their children dead.

Their child. He'd never known there were two.

Still, the matter stood as it was. She didn't regret it, most of the time. Yes, there were times she missed her family with an ache that was borderline physical. There were times when she wanted nothing more than the life she had once had. Leia and Luke made it worth the sacrifice, though, more than worth it.

But sometimes? Sometimes she wondered what she had been thinking.

Padmé glanced over her shoulder, making certain that the secret compartment in the floorboard was well concealed. The twins were hiding there, both of them quiet for once. She'd drilled it into them from before they could even talk that when she told them to hide, that no one could see them, they take it seriously. It was one of the few things that they did take seriously lately.

She wasn't entirely certain what was happening. The ship that attached itself to theirs was clearly that of a scavenger or smuggler of some type, and she'd prepared herself for the worst the moment it had been clear they couldn't get away. But if that was the case, they should have been boarded by now which very much hadn't happened.

The sound of blaster fire from the other ship soon after they had grappled them had been clear, even from there. Padmé had no idea what was happening over there, but she couldn't help but think the worse. Five years of running from the Empire, trying her best to stay outside of their attention, had ingrained that in her.

There was a knock on the airlock.

Padmé tightened her grip on her blaster.

"It's safe," a somewhat mechanical voice said from the other side, clearly speaking through some type of scrambler. "The bounty hunters are no longer of any concern to you."

If anything, her grip on her blaster grew even tighter.

With a metallic clang, the hatch opened. Whoever was on the other side had opened it.

It took everything Padmé had not to glance back at the secret compartment in the floor, to make absolutely certain it could not be seen. She knew that doing so would put Leia and Luke in even more danger, though, which she couldn't risk.

A figure appeared, tall and thin. They were wearing dark robes that hid their shape, but there was no hiding the fact that it covered lekku. Not that it particularly mattered whether it was a togruta or twi'lek approaching her. Anyone could be dangerous, no matter who or what they were.

"What do you want?" Padmé snapped, trying to make her voice as firm and unyielding as she could. She couldn't show fear, not now. She wasn't the only one whose life was at risk.

The figure stopped dead in their tracks, their head tilting a bit to the side.

"Padmé?" the mechanical voice asked. It sounded almost surprised, although it was hard to tell through the scrambler being used.

Padmé tightened her grip on her blaster, holding it up a little higher. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice much steadier than she felt. "How do you know my name?"

The figure stood there for a moment, and Padmé had the strangest feeling that she was being gaped at. Then, without one fluid movement, they pulled down the hood that covered their head.

A very familiar figure stood in front of her, albeit one that was older and slightly taller than the image in her memories. But Padme would know her lover from anywhere.

Padmé felt her grip slacken all on its own, her hand dropping so that the blaster was pointing at the floor of the ship. "Ahsoka?"

Her formal husband apprentice gaze at her for a few moments then they were in each other's arms. Both saying. "I thought you were dead!"

They then kissed. Padme felt the hole where she thought she lost Ashoka began to fill again.

"What happened to you?" Asked Padme when separated. "I'm only alive thanks to Rex." Said Ashoka and explained what happened during Order 66. "What about you?" Asked Ashoka when she finished. Padme face turn sad. "It's a long story. We should get going from here. There is two people would like you to meet."

Padme went to the secret compartment and open it. "It's alright kids you can come out now." She help her children out. The two stared at the Torguta in front of them. Ashoka eyes were wide as she started putting two together.

"Luke, Leia. This is Ashoka Tano. A very good friend of Your farther and mine."

Said Padme. She then look at the still surprised alien. "Ashoka meet Luke and Leia Skywalker."

There was silence for a few minutes then Ashoka aproceh them and knelt in front of the twins. Leia was wearing around her neck the necklace that Anakin had made Padme when he was little. She smiled. "It's nice to meet you two." The twins smiled as well as did Padme. Ashoka look at her brown hair friend. "This is going be a crazy story is it?" Padme nodded. "It is."
