Chapter 10

It had been months. Two or maybe three… She didn't keep track anymore. She didn't really want too. It was too painful for her.

Padme blew on the hot liquid before her. She smiled at her guest across the table and blew some more, making the steam swerve to the side. She blew again, this time harder making a dip in the liquid. She smiled, she found it amusing that she could entertain herself while her guest sat there like they didn't know what they were suppose to do now. She found herself listening to her old friend Bail and then her eyes were fixating on her mother who was nodding in agreement. Across the table there was Obi-Wan and Sabe and then there was Palo next to her. She didn't know what had possessed her to come to this meeting, but she was pretty sure that her mother had done the trick into black-mailing her some more. She didn't know why she put up with her, but she knew that she was the only one who knew about this besides Palo.

"Darling?" Palo questioned and Padme looked up from her drink. She didn't usually respond to that name coming from other people but Anakin, but she had too otherwise her mother would probably do something that she didn't really want her to do. She looked around at everybody else before responding.

"Yes? What is it?" Padme questioned and Palo smiled.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know that you were listening."

Padme smiled slightly, "Alright." She looked over at Sabe who just shrugged at her and then her eyes met with Obi-Wan. She hadn't seen Anakin in a long time and she just wanted to see him. She wanted to ask Obi-Wan about it, but didn't know what to say to him. She sighed and brought the cup up to her lips before sipping it and placing it back down.

Padme stirred in her sleep when she heard something hit her window. She jerked up in the dark and flicked on the light. She hated the sound of something outside. She pulled back her covers and then looked out the window. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw her ex-husband standing below. She waved slightly before grabbing her jacket and tip-toeing down the stairs and gingerly opening the door. She closed it silently behind her and then ran to Anakin. She stopped a couple of feet in front of him and smiled.

"What are you doing here?"

"I had to see you." He confessed and reached forward and touched her shoulder and then brought her against him. She welcomed the warmth and she remembered how good it felt to be held by Anakin. She was glad that he was here and she smiled as she buried her head in his chest. She didn't want this to end.

"If they see us we'll be dead." Padme said quietly and he kissed the top of her head before resting his head on-top of hers. She was amazed that he would come back to her after all this was all her fault. They wouldn't be in this position if she hadn't forced him to come with her to this family reunion.

"Oh god Anakin, I missed you so much." He nodded, understanding her and she knew that he always would understand her. She lifted her head and met him halfway in a kiss. It was soft and romantic and she didn't ever want to part, but she did. She placed her head back down against his chest and smiled. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do without you."

"Me too… Padme I can't live without you. I'll let your mother tell the council as long as I can be with you." He whispered and she shook her head.

"Ani, you know we could never do that. You'd be betraying your mother and yourself. Don't do it for me Anakin, I'm not worth it."

"I don't want to have to live a life of a Jedi if it means that I have to live without you Padme. I'd do anything to just be with you. What are we going to do if you won't let me?"

"I don't know, live without each other?" She questioned and he wrapped his arms tighter around her. He didn't want to live a life without her. He wanted her here with him forever and ever and she would never get away from him. "Anakin… I-I don't know what to do and it scares me. I always know what to do."

"I know angel… I know."

She bit her lip, "What are we going to do?"

"I have no idea."

"We need to figure something out soon before it turns morning and they find us. I cannot have that happen Anakin, I cannot have your dreams taken away from you."

"But Padme, I don't care about my dreams if it means that I have to live a life without you. I love you more then anything in the world." She bit her lip harder and thought for a second.

"But Anakin, I mean, you'd be betraying everything that you lived by and you would be disappointing Obi-Wan and I know that he has been like a brother and father to you so I know that you wouldn't want to do that." They both heard the crash of something inside the house and they knew that it was time for Padme to go. It was time for her to prepare for the wedding.

"Love… I have to go." She said quietly and he nodded, releasing her. They stood there for a second before she reached up and kissed him lightly on the lips. She turned around and walked towards the door. "I love you." She mouthed before opening the door and walking back in.

"I love you more." He whispered, but she was already gone.

She saw him disembark on his journey back to where he was staying as she sat at her window. She didn't want him to go, but she was afraid for him and she didn't want him to get harmed just because of her. She just didn't want that. She didn't want this to be happening either, but she couldn't do anything. She didn't know when she would next see him, but she hoped it was soon because she loved him with all her heart and soul and her heart broke when he turned away from her and at the thought of him leaving her. She just couldn't take it. She didn't want to take it. She didn't want to do anything. She didn't want to marry Palo, but what choice did she have? She had no idea what she was going to do, but she was sure that she was going to fix this sooner of later. She loved Anakin too much not too.
