Chapter 2
Anakin paced the balcony of the lake house, the same where he and padmè had fallen in love, worry etched on his features. She had said she would join him and was leaving immediately, after he had told her of Palpatine, but it had been a week. He reached out through the force, and could not feel her. He had to return, but did not want to miss her. Before he could dwell on it further, he heard a distant boom as a Jedi starship sped toward him. He sensed Obi-Wan aboard, and that Obi-Wan was worried.
Anakin ran out of the house as the starship landed on the lawn. Obi-Wan jumped from the cockpit, worry and relief mingled on his features as Anakin ran to him.
"What's going on Anakin," he asked as he closed the distance.
"Master, I can explain, Palpatine-"
"Not that, you said you hid something from me."
Looking shamefaced, he Anakin replied, "I am sorry master, but I love-"
"Padmè," he finished.
Anakin was shocked, "you knew, how?"
"Because as soon as you left, the chancellor captured her. He is holding her hostage in the senate."
"What!" Anakin roared, beginning to rush toward his own ship not far away.
"Anakin, wait!" Obi-Wan shouted, "This is what he wants."
"I can't just leave her to him."
"No doubt that is exactly why he took her. You must use your head and control your emotions if you wish to save her."
"You…approve?"
"It doesn't matter right now."
"Right, we must go, now. We will discuss a plan on the way"
Together they jumped into Obi-Wan ship, both full of worry and urgency.
"We must save her Master."
"It understand."
"No master, you don't. She's…She's pregnant."
Obi-Wan mind reeled with this revelation, but had no time to dwell on his surprise as he wheeled the ship around to rush back too Coruscant. As they began their just put to hyperspace, he resolved to help his friend, no matter what.
