Leia hated hiding stuff from her brother, even if it was for his own good. She still had a headache and was a tired from the previous Jedi attack on her mind. Even with her exhausted they didn't manage to brake trough her mind shields. She had been worried that they would try the same with Luke, but they only asked some questions witch her brother ignored and they explained about the Jedi and the place he was in now-the Jedi Temple. Of course they never offered the same information to Leia, but it was probably due to her not being fit to be a Jedi. They told her themselves, but Leia pretty much expected that. What she didn't expect was them asking Luke if he wanted to be a Jedi. Witch she knew he did, desperately. But it was different now, Leia doubted they would train him if he refused to part with her. Jedi couldn't form attachments, she had read it somewhere with a bunch of lies that the Jedi were evil. While she wasn't sure about the latter, she was sure that the first one was true. That's probably why they were being kept apart. The thought only made Leia more angry. They had no right to do that, to separate them. Just like they were separated by the Jedi in the begging. Witch was unfair, they were born to always be together, not to be raised in different parts of galaxy, not even knowing the other existed.

What are you thinking about? Luke asked. Leia hid her thoughts from him, though she knew he hated when she did that. But she was embarrassed and didn't want him to know how worried she was that he was going to leave her. Alone.

Nothing. It's just strange, going to sleep without you with me, again. As hard it was to admit to herself, Leia felt like the walls were caving in on her whenever she was left alone. Resting on the simple bed and staring at the dark ceiling unnerved her even more. It was too quiet.

Tell me something. She asked Luke.

What? He asked.

Tell me about your aunt and uncle. She requested, so he did. Leia marveled at his stories of Tatooine, even though he hated it there, but his aunt and uncle sounded like nice people.

They are your aunt and uncle too. Said Luke, disliking the way she always thought about them as his family, not hers.

I know. Said Leia, but it only hurt her more to think of them that way. Luke at least knew them, but to Leia they were just another family she never knew or will get to know.

Show me the picture of our mother again. Luke requested and Leia did. At least Leia had something that Luke didn't. Gazing at their mother they knew nothing about, they both fell into peaceful sleep not soon after.

Anakin came back late that night, while Padmé was still asleep. Having restlessly flown around Coruscant, while deep in his own thoughts. The children he thought he lost nothing but hours ago, were now alive and eight years old, unable to ever go back to the future. Anakin wondered if they knew they were not in their own timeline anymore, Luke seemed oblivious to it, but maybe the Jedi Council decided to explain it to them. Luke. Anakin had mixed feeling about the boy, he blamed him at first, he along with his sister were the ones at fault for Padmé's miscarriage, even though they were the ones that were supposed to be born. But meeting Luke in person, it was strange and special at the same time. He was also afraid. Afraid, of the mistakes he must have made in the future, for his own child not to recognize him. Obi-Wan seemed the only one that the boy deeply cared about besides his sister. Of course, the boy also seemed weary of this Obi-Wan since he knew he wasn't the same Master he used to know. It was fitting somehow, that Obi-Wan was the one to train his son. He wondered how the Obi-Wan from the future found out about Luke, or that he was married.

"Anakin, what are you doing up so early?" He heard Padmé ask from the entrance of the balcony. He guessed by the rising sun it was almost morning, he never noticed. Should he tell her that he never actually went to sleep? Padmé walked closer to him and sat down on the ground beside him.

"Ani, please, don't think about it anymore, it wasn't your fault." Said Padmé putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. Should he tell her that it wasn't the babies she'd lost he was thinking about? Was it wrong that whenever he thought now of the twins Padmé had lost, he now saw Luke and Leia instead? They were one and the same, weren't they?

"What happened to your shoulder?" She asked concerned, noticing Anakin's wound. He'd forgotten about that.

"Nothing serious. Lu- the boy did that." Was it weird that Anakin was kind of proud of the boy from managing to do that? Anakin had to admit that Luke was extremely skilled with a lightsaber for his age. He could grow a fine Jedi one day. But did Anakin actually want him to become a Jedi? To have the same restrictions as Anakin?

"A child did that? Is that the boy Obi-Wan had to talk to you about? Another Skywalker?" Anakin was unable to do anything but nod. He wasn't sure what else to do, was he wrong for not telling her? Should he tell her? She was their mother too.

"What was his name again?" Padmé asked. Anakin wasn't sure if he should answer. Had she picked it, or was it somebody else?

"Luke." He said painfully. Suddenly, he wanted to see the boy again, just to be sure he was okay.

"Luke," Padmé repeated the name sadly. "I thought of naming our child that, if it was a boy. I guess now… They should still have names, shouldn't they? I'm not sure about the other one, I always thought to let you decide if it was a girl, but…" Padmé told him heartbroken and Anakin was barely able to listen.

"Leia." He cut her off suddenly, his voice heavy with emotion. He liked that name, maybe he was the one to pick it after all. Thinking about that, he was unable to sit there anymore, he needed to do something, to…

"Ani?" Padmé asked concerned when Anakin suddenly stood up.

"They wouldn't let me see her." He said out of nowhere, his voice full of venom. He walked towards the room, Padmé trailing after him.

"Anakin!" Padmé shouted after him when she heard him hit something.

"I asked, after seeing Luke… I couldn't- But they refused!" He shouted turning towards Padmé, who stood there horrified at the damage done to his hand, after he hit the wall.

"Anakin! Is this about the boy? I don't understand," Anakin seemed to have barely heard her.

"I don't know what to do… I shouldn't care about them, yet I do. The Council- They know." Padmé couldn't understand what it was, but to cause Anakin such pain it had to be something major. But when she heard him say the last words, she froze.

"Know what Anakin?" She asked and Anakin's eyes finally focused on hers.

"I told them you lost the baby, I didn't think… Neither Luke nor Leia seemed to know your name and I just-. They said they wouldn't throw me out of the Order if I leave the children at their care, but I don't think I can!" Anakin shouted, absolutely loathing the Order and the Council at the moment. Padmé, even more heartbroken from her husband's obvious pain, though not understanding the actual cause for it, walked close to him.

"You told them I was pregnant?" She asked, at least understanding that part.

"I told Obi-Wan you lost the babies. Them being here caused you to miscarry, but I couldn't believe..." Padmé frowned, not able to believe what she was hearing.

"You think a child caused my miscarriage?" Padmé asked, disturbed at such absurdity. Anakin shook his head and looked away, as if unable to answer her. Padmé cupped his cheek, making him look at her.

"Tell me." She said gently, but firmly. Anakin, seeing the tears in her eyes and hearing the urgency in her voice, did. After all, he had no right to keep this from her.

"The boy-Luke, he's from the future. So is the girl. Don't ask how that's possible, even the Jedi Council doesn't know. They came approximately eight years from the future and it's surtain that they are unable to ever go back, since they had already replaced themselves in this timeline." Suddenly, with all the peaces adding up, everything made sense to Padmé and time seemed to stop for her.

"The boy and the girl?" Asked Padmé, afraid to hope, to think. Anakin, knowing what she was asking, answered.

"They're twins. Our twins."

Leia woke up feeling disoriented, but when she reached for Luke, she hit a wall instead. Someone was shielding him from her. Raw fear twisted Leia's insides slowly replaced by anger. They had no right to go trough her brother's head. Barely, she noticed she wasn't alone. A Jedi woman stood near the door, a medical droid with her. Leia then understood. One wrong move and she was going to be put to sleep.

"I can't believe you didn't think of telling me this sooner." Padmé told Anakin displeased, as they walked the Jedi's Temple's corridors.

"What? That we now have two kids from the future, who are not supposed to be here?" He asked thinking how messed up everything was at the moment.

"No, that our children are alive and well and that we are going to take care of them." She said. Anakin shot her a look.

"Nothing's that simple Padmé." Padmé looked back at him with a look of her own.

"They are our children, are they not?" Anakin knew then that it was better not to argue with her any further.

"Master Skywalker what are you doing here?" The Jedi then noticed Padmé. "And with Senator Amidala."

"I need to speak with Master Yoda." Said Anakin. "It's urgent." The Jedi shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think that's possible right now."

"Master Windu then."

"I don't think…" the Jedi started to say, but was cut off by another Jedi who came running down the hallway.

"We have a situation." He said out of breath. The Jedi glanced at Anakin as if unsure. That meant only one thing.

"What is it?" When they didn't answer, he decided to take things into his own hands. Using the Force Anakin slammed one of the Jedi against the wall, then turned to the order one.

"I would advise you to give an explanation, now." He advised. The Jedi took one look at the other Jedi now lying on the grown and did.

"The girl took down a healer and a medical droid sir, we're not sure what to do." Anakin sighed, of course she did.

"Are they talking about Leia?" Asked Padmé, though she probably already knew the answer, but Anakin nodded anyway. There weren't many children just running around the Temple causing trouble. No Jedi youngling would do such a thing.

"Why would a healer and a medical droid be with her?" Asked Padmé confused.

"So she wouldn't try to get to her brother." Said the Jedi, as if that made perfect sense. Hearing that you could guess Padmé was not happy.

"Where's Luke?" Asked Anakin and Jedi hesitated for a moment, but whatever he saw on both Anakin's and Padme's faces made him answer.

"He's with Master Yoda." That meant that whatever was going on, it was serious enough for Leia to slash out and the Jedi already have foreseen it.

"Where are you going?" Asked Padmé as Anakin started to move towards the corridor where the Jedi previously came from.

"I'm going to take Leia. You should stay here and put your negotiation skills to good use if one of the Council members decides to show up." Anakin was pretty sure it was safe leaving her with the Jedi, she could hold her own, not that a Jedi could do much against a Senator like Padmé.

Finding Leia wasn't hard, he already knew where they kept her. What he hadn't expected was to see five Jedi outside the room, surrounding her. He figured she found out from her brother how to get out.

"What's going on here?" Asked Anakin. The Jedi looked between themselves, unsure.

"The girl got out sir." One of them said, but the others instantly shushed him. He won't get much answers from them. Deciding there wasn't really a better way how to approach this, Anakin walked inside the circle and picked the girl up. Surprisingly, she didn't protest, witch only made him uneasy.

"What is it?" He asked her. She seemed deeply focused, but also pained.

"They keep pushing trough, I can't keep them out." Suspecting it had something to do with her brother, he said,

"Then don't."The Jedi weren't perfect, but he doubted they would cause actual harm to the boy.

"You don't understand, there are thing even Luke doesn't remember." She said to Anakin, then cried out in pain. Anakin was helpless, unable to do anything but hold her upright.

"I can't feel him anymore." She said starting to cry. Feeling helpless and unsure of himself Anakin was unable to do anything but hold her. Noticing the other Jedi still there he roared,

"Go." and without a protest, they did.

"My brother feels uneasy around you." The girl told him suddenly. "Are you going to try to put me back inside that room?" She asked and Anakin noticed the dangerous note in her voice. Someone's bossy.

"No. I'm going to take you to your mo- my wife, while I get your brother." He almost slipped up and wondered when he started to think of Leia as Padmé's daughter, maybe it was because of her looks. Leia stared at him for a moment and Anakin felt a little uncomfortable under her scrutiny, so much like Padmé's. Not only the girl looked just like Padmé but she also seemed to have some of her qualities.

"I want my brother." She said, starting to cry again. Anakin figured the quicker he brought the girl to Padmé the easier it would be for him. It pained him not knowing what to do.

Padmé Amidala was worried sick. She was worried not only for her husband, but also her two children she knew nothing about. To think she lost them and then suddenly had them back, just eight years older. She was terrified and hopeful at the same time. They were supposed to be her children, the ones she just recently carried in her belly. But were they really? Of course they were, Padmé decided. It's not like she didn't know what she was getting into by being with Anakin. Still, no one ever told her that time travel was possible, or that her future children would decide to pay her a visit earlier than planned.

She heard them first. Anakin's quiet footsteps and a girl's quiet sniffles as she cried. Padmé turned and stared at Anakin with a little girl in his arms. Carefully, he put her down and the girl turned her big, teary brown eyes on Padmé's and it felt as if her heart stopped. She was beautiful. Slowly, Padmé crouched down in front of the girl who's eyes widened.

"Hey," said Padmé gently, reaching out to touch her. Still wide eyed the girl took several steps back still staring at Padmé and stumbled into Anakin, petrified. Padmé clearly hurt, lowered her hand. Anakin frowned, crouching down beside the girl too.

"Leia? You'll have to stay with Padmé until I get your brother, is that okay?" He asked, still frowning, touching her back gently. The girl flinched then turned her wide eyes away from Padmé and stared at Anakin.

"Am I dead? Is that what it is?" Asked Leia, tears coming back to her eyes. "Is Luke dead too?" She asked her voice breaking, as she tried to catch her breath trough her sobs. Whatever Anakin expected from the girl, it wasn't this.

"Leia, look at me," he said firmly, but gently, making her focus on him. "You are not dead. Neither is Luke." How the hell the girl managed to get that into her head? Leia shook her head, then in a quieter voice asked Anakin,

"Then why does she look like my mom?" It was clear by a soft gasp that Padmé heard. But the girl wasn't done, instead her tears seemed to turn into anger.

"Why else would the Jedi be here? All of you are dead!" She screamed. "And so is Yoda and Obi-Wan! Well you can't have me and Luke!" The girl started to trash violently, trying to get out of Anakin's grip. Not knowing what to do, Anakin shook her by her arms firmly.

"No we're not, do we look dead to you?" Asked Anakin and Leia stared at him for a moment then at Padmé. They might not look dead, but wasn't that the point?

"But you are! Aren't you? My mother died at birth, my parents told me! And you name is Anakin isn't it? The same as Luke's father, the one who was killed by Vader!" Shocked, Anakin suddenly let go of Leia, and she stumbled, falling down. So his visions had been right, Padmé had died at childbirth. But he was dead too? Killed by someone named Vader. That's why Luke never recognized him, nor did Leia. They never knew him, never even saw him. To know that someone else raised his children and took care of them. It felt like someone stole something major from him, something he could never get back. Anakin turned to Padmé and saw his pain mirrored by her own. Leia was sobbing now, holding herself in a tight ball, just like Luke had before. Padmé unable to see her daughter cry anymore and do nothing, touched the girl's hair comfortingly. Leia then jumped into her arms and Padmé gladly held her, running a hand trough her hair as the girl kept sobbing into her shoulder.

"I just want Luke, please, I just want my brother." Leia begged trough her sobs. As Padmé held her even tighter, crying herself, Anakin stood up. Luke. He had to get Luke and then they would go home, their children with them. Anakin mouthed 'Luke' to Padmé and she nodded. When Anakin turned towards the Jedi Council Chamber, he noticed the other Jedi then. Standing in his way of the hallway towards it. They probably had witnessed the entire show, but Anakin didn't care. He would take all of them down if it meant getting to Luke.

"Get out of my way." He said darkly and surprisingly, they did.

Hi, again.

And Wow, I did not expect things to go this way. This chapter turned more emotional then I intended it to go at first. But I guess that's expected, I mean, Leia is eight and as much as she and Luke act like adults they're still children.

Well I hope you liked it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

And I'll See you soon, hopefully. :D

But seriously, please review, I'd love to know what you guys think.

Bye :)
