Padmé woke up, her pillow was slightly wet since she cried herself to sleep. She knew she had to tell Anakin she was pregnant, but she didn't know how he would take it.

She was scared he would leave her or get angry, she thought it was best to tell him when he was in a good mood. Like when he comes back from rescuing the chancellor.. if he is still alive, she desperately hoped he was okay.

Padmé knew he would be back soon if he's still alive, she prayed every time she thought of him. She couldn't bare the thought of him dead.

Padmé gathered a handful of her blanket and squeezed it tight. ' He will come back! I know it. ' she thought.

She got up and stood by the window, she could stay there all day until Anakin returns. Padmé could see 3P0 coming towards her, he stopped politely beside her.

" Is there anything you need Miss Padmé? " C3P0 asked.

" No thank you. " Padmé replied, still staring out the window. She wished she could see Anakin coming, she wanted him to hold her and say everything is all right, she was tired of being lonely.

Padmé hoped they had caught Grievous too! The jedi have made many attempts to capture General Greivous, but it pretty much ended up the other way around... unless the jedi managed to escape.

Hours went past, Padmé still stood at the window, she barely moved.

" Really Miss Padmé you must be hungry? " 3P0 said, quite concerned. Padmé shook her head. " Really, I'm fine. " she said, mocking his tone.

3P0 shrugged. " Excuse me Miss Padmé. " he said and walked away. It was past midday when Mace Windu reported through the comlink.

" Senator Amidala. The chancellor has made it back safely, you are asked to welcome him back at the senate building. " he said.

" Will Obi-Wan and Anakin be there? I hope they are safe too. " she asked. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she couldn't help it. Padmé didn't really want to go unless Anakin was there.

" Yes they will be. They will be arriving soon. " Padmé nodded and gave a deep breath. Now the hard part, she had to tell Anakin about the child.

The comlink switched off and she rushed to get ready. Before long, she was on the ground level of the senate building, watching all the senators and jedi greet the chancellor.

She saw Anakin, talking to one of the senators, Bail Organa. Lucky for Padmé, they were walking to her direction. She waited quietly for him to finish his conversation.

" Excuse me. " Padmé heard Anakin say. He bowed and turned to Padmé. He rushed at her and embraced her tightly.

" Are you all right? " he asked. Padmé nodded, she knew now was the time to tell him. She breathed slowly.

" Anakin. The most wonderful thing has happened! " she began. Padmé tried to sound as positive and convincing as possible, so hopefully Anakin would take the news well.

He stared into her eyes, waiting for her to say what she had to say. Padmé gave a deep sigh. ' Here it goes. ' she thought to herself.

" I'm pregnant! " She finally got it off her chest, but she was waiting for Anakin's reaction. She saw him smile, she was a bit relieved.

" That.. " Anakin seemed astonished. " That's wonderful. This baby... is blessing to us. " Anakin said cheerfully. She smiled back, but she was still a bit unsure.

" Don't worry. Let's forget our troubles for now. " Anakin often said things like that, but it made her feel better at least.

He was sure things will be all right, but will they?
