AN : Sorry this took so long, I wanted to get it just right, but here it is chapter 14!
"Its time? Already?" Anakin said, shocked.
"Yes, its time. A little early according to the medical droids on Coruscant, but definitely time," Padmé said.
"Lets get her into your room," Beru said.
Anakin lifted his wife into his arms and carried her into the homestead, took her to the room they shared and laid her down.
"You can stay if you keep out from under foot and promise not to faint, Anakin," Beru said.
"Jedi do not faint," Anakin said.
"If I had a credit for every new father that told they wouldn't and proved themselves a liar Owen and I would be well off," Beru said.
"Is it that bad?" Anakin asked.
"Not really, but most men don't like seeing their women in that much pain and not being able to help with it," Beru said.
"I see," Anakin said as another contraction hit Padmé.
Obi-Wan heard Padmé scream with her labor but remained in the common area; this was a private matter for Anakin and Padmé. He instead went to the ship to try to find out if what Anakin felt had happened yet. He hoped that Anakin and felt a possible future event, but doubted it. He transmitted a message on the Jedi emergency frequency, one that only the Jedi knew. It wasn't long until he had a result.
"General Kenobi, thank the stars," Bail said over the communication.
"Senator Organa, how did you get this channel," Obi-Wan asked.
"From Master Yoda, we picked him up near Kashyyk," Bail said.
"Anakin has had a disturbing vision, may I speak to Master Yoda?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes, of course, but you should know first that Master Yoda's clone troops turned on him and attacked him," Bail said.
"I see, come to Tatooine, I'm sending landing coordinates now," Obi-Wan said.
"Of course, we have much to discuss, General Kenobi," Bail said.
Obi-Wan exited the ship just in time to hear Anakin call out," Obi-Wan!"
Obi-Wan went into the homestead and saw Anakin grinning like a fool, "Twins! Obi-Wan! She was carrying twins! You're an uncle! Twice over!"
"If they are anything like you, Anakin I am in serious trouble then," Obi-Wan said sternly then broke into a grin of his own, pleased to see his friend and brother so happy.
"Beru is cleaning up, I never dreamed giving birth would be so messy," Anakin said.
"You can bring him in now Anakin," Beru called out.
"Well, shall we let you introduce me to your children, Anakin?" Obi-Wan said.
"Yes!"
"Senator Organa is on his way here with Master Yoda," Obi-Wan said.
"Has my vision actually happened?" Anakin asked his mood darkening a little.
"We'll discuss it when they arrive, Anakin. Right now is a moment of joy and we both would do well to just enjoy it," Obi-Wan said.
Anakin nodded as he and Obi-Wan entered the bedroom. Padmé was in the bed with the twins, one in each arm. One was wrapped in a dark blanket and the other in a lighter blanket.
"Obi-Wan!" Padmé said, smiling, "Look, its your Uncle Obi-Wan children."
Both babies reacted to this news with the disinterest only newborns can manage, one yawning, the other sneezing at meeting Obi-Wan for the first time.
"This one is Luke," Anakin said brushing the baby in the brown blanket, "And this one is Leia." Anakin stroked her cheek.
"They are lovely children, both of you," Obi-Wan said.
In the Senate Palpatine was in the middle of a speech, outlining the treachery of the Jedi and the forming of the First Galactic Empire then said he had two major announcements.
"The evil of the Jedi knows no bounds, in our effort to bring their traitorous order to justice, they killed nearly all of the children in their care, so that the Galaxy would not benefit from them. They nearly succeeded in their plan, but we were able to save three of the innocents from that cruel fate. Unfortunately, their parents were killed in the war, so I will raise them as my own children! I present to you those three now, Prince Pravus!" Palpatine shouted and thunderous cheering followed. "Prince Dolor!" with more applause. "And last but not least, Prince Metus!" Palpatine waited for the cheers to die down
"Through out this costly war, one started by and perpetuated by the Jedi, one name struck fear into your hearts! Know this now; General Grievous isn't the monster you've come to fear. The reports of his atrocities were lies the Jedi told. Now, General Grievous has volunteered to hunt down the remaining Jedi Knights and to help me bring Order to the Galaxy!" Palpatine announced, to more cheers, his dark power manipulating enough minds to reach a psychological critical mass.
