A/N: Alright CherryBlossoms016, they stay together, now WHERE'S MY COOKIE?!
Another day began for Senator Padme Amidala. She had now come to a daily routine. Get up, get dressed, feed babies, dress babies, and hide herself from society. She liked to spend most of her time with her daughter, Leia, while Ob-Wan helped out with Luke. It's not that she played favorites; that would be a terrible thing for a mother to do. It was just hard for her to look into her son's bright blue eyes. He always reminded her of Anakin. Also, he was starting to grow thin locks of shiny gold hair, like his father's. She didn't ignore her son completely, though. Every now and then she'd be the one to take care of him, instead of Obi-Wan. However, when Leia would begin to cry, Padme was always the first one to comfort her. Leia reminded her so much of herself. Her hair was growing chocolate brown to match her large eyes. Sometimes, Leia would make a face that was so much like Padme's, it scared her.
One day, as Padme was trying to get Leia to sleep, a flashback came to her. We can go to the lake house where no one will know, where we can be safe. I can go early to fix up the baby's room. I know the perfect spot; right by the gardens. Suddenly, Leia started to cry loudly, as if she could feel her mother's pain. Padme almost chuckled. Strong in the force this one is, as Yoda would say. She comforted Leia with her soothing voice until she calmed down. The Padme walked to the window, and as she looked into the Alderaanian sun set, a tear dripped down her cheek. Little did she know, Leia was still awake, and she was watching her. Her eyes widened as she captured this photographic memory of her mother to treasure always. A woman who was kind, beautiful, but sad.
An Imperial shuttle landed in the Polis Massan hangar bay. As the latch opened, several storm troopers marched out and turned their attention to the next person coming out. Darth Vader trotted out onto the asteroid. He pushed and shoved everyone who got in his way as he headed towards the medical facility. He marched up to the front desk and commanded to the clerk,
"Tell me what you know about Padme Amidala's visit to this medical facility."
The man looked frightened as he answered,
"I'm s-sorry sir, b-but that information is c-c-classified."
Lord Vader used the force to choke this man until he found out what he wanted to know. When the man said nothing, he threw him across the room. He let out a loud yell of disappointment. Then he turned to the computer,. There is where he could find the information he needed. He opened the file to the medical log. He looked at the date of two weeks ago, when she disappeared. The data was organized chronologically, so he checked the files from later that night. Then his heart stopped for a moment, there was the file he'd been looking for. PADME NABERRIE AMIDALA SKYWALKER 10:16. The log didn't give much, but it gave enough. It said she had given birth, but there weren't any details about the child. Then he found the information he was looking for.
CHECKOUT TIME: 11:43
LEFT IN ALDERAANIAN CRUISER.
He thought about who she could have left with from Alderaan. Then it hit him. Bail Organa, the senator from Alderaan, was a good friend of hers. His feelings told him right. She was on Alderaan. He marched back to his ship, and told the pilot,
"Take us to the capital of Alderaan! Immediately!"
Vader was impatient throughout the whole trip. Where exactly was she hiding? Luckily, the Force would lead him to her once he was close enough. What would he do once he found her? Hopefully by now she'd come to her senses and realized what he did was best for the galaxy. And this child, she'd already had their child. A part of him was saddened by the fact that he was not there to witness the birth. This popped one more question into his head. Was it a boy or a girl? He would find out soon enough. Then a storm trooper walked in and told him,
"Lord Vader, the Emperor is on the holoprojector for you. Vader paused. He'd forgotten to tell his master of his mission. He rushed to the projector where the Emperor was waiting.
"Lord Vader, it's about time you made contact."
"I'm sorry, Master."
"I don't remember instructing you to leave the construction site."
"I was just on a personal mission. We're on a trace of Senator Amidala's location."
"The Empire does not have time for your own problems, Vader."
"Please, Master. This is also a mission to find my child."
"Ah, I see. So your wife delivered, did she? Very well, continue your mission."
"Thank you, Master."
"However, when you find the child, you must bring him to me."
"…Very well, Master." Vader ended the transmission.
