Naberrie Skyler: The inner voice was not Padmé's conscience, it was her imagination that just caused the voice to just appear. And yes, their finances are settled. (In the last three months, Anakin got a job). Well, I hope this explained everything in the last chapter. I'm very sorry if it disturbed you and in the future I'll be more considerate about all of my viewers.

Eversohuggable: Aww thank you! lol. As long as you give me, cheery comments… I will give you more chapters:D

AnaDry: Thanks! I'm hoping you'll like this chapter as much as you liked the last.

Starwarsgeek71: Thank you but I don't think Anakin and Padmé were ever in an alley. They were in a restroom. But I'm very glad you gave me a review!

They separated as they continued to laugh. Padmé wiped tears away as she laughed harder. Anakin's laugh faded until he was just chuckling. Anakin knitted his eyebrows and chuckled once more.

"What were we laughing about?" He asked as Padmé burst into laughter again. "What?"

With Padmé's face red and tears formed in her eyes, she smiled. "I-I don't know." She said.

"Are you really going to Palo?" Anakin asked seriously.

"No!" She laughed. "Are you really going to Abbé?"

"No. But, just to make sure…"

He placed both of hands on the side of her face and kissed her lips feverishly. Padmé laughed against his mouth but closed her eyes to lose herself into the kiss. Their tongues intertwined and matted against one another. Padmé broke the kiss and feathery touched his face with her fingertips. He nervously licked his lips. "I love you, Padmé." He said passionately. "Oh gods, I love you so much."

Padmé sighed dreamily. "I love you too, Ani." He kissed her soundly on the lips. "We should probably go." She kissed him on the lips once more.

"Stop it." He murmured smiling. Padmé licked his lips.

"Stop what?" She whispered. He planted one more kiss on her lips then entwined his hands with hers. He lifted her hand to his lips then gently kissed it. She smiled warmly. When she was about to speak, he pressed his finger to her lips to silence her. She spread her lips and took the finger in her mouth. She released him and kissed his fingertip.

He sucked in a deep breath. "There's a lot of kissing in this room, isn't there?" He whispered. She laughed and set his hand on her stomach. She tilted her head up as Anakin leaned down for another kiss.

As Anakin led Padmé on to the speeder and on their way to the nearest Naboo hospital. This was it. He was finally going to be a father. No other man can be more happy or excited than he can be. This was it. These last three months for Anakin were hell. Padmé's constant mood swings. Cravings. And her continuous arguments. I remember that. He chuckled as he steered the speeder with one hand and held Padmé's hand with the other. He winced as Padmé's hand tightened.

"Ahhh!" Padmé shrieked. Anakin used the force from his hand connecting to Padmé's to clam her down. It worked. Eventually, Padmé scowled at him. Anakin smiled apologetically.

I promise you, no more.

He told her through the force. Padmé nodded vigorously as she herself was trying to calm down. She grimaced as her hand rubbed her stomach. It'll soon be over. Anakin gently gave Padmé a confident squeeze. Taking deep breaths, Padmé widened her eyes, tightened her hand and yelled on the top of her lungs. Anakin gritted his teeth and grunted. As he turned the speeder to the street of 'Nubian Hospital', Padmé screeched a curse.

Anakin ignored the word and parked near the entrance. He hastily unbuckled his and Padmé's seatbelt. He hurriedly rushed her out of the door and led her to the building.

Once inside, she gripped his shoulder, forcing him to look at her. "Ani." Padmé said darkly. "Get me to a room or so help me god, I will tear your gorgeous face apart." She gritted her teeth and moaned. She fiercely pulled Anakin's shirt down. "Now." She growled. Anakin gulped and nodded. He had never seen Padmé this angry before! With her fuming brown eyes and tousled up hair, to him, she looked adorable as ever. And strangely, he loved it. He shook the thought and turned to the doctor running towards them.

"Doctor, we need a room." He leaned closer. "Now." He barely whispered, showing him the heavy breathing woman clutching his shoulder. The doctor flashed a radiant smile.

"Well Padmé, you look beautiful as ever." He laughed. Padmé showed no emotion but anger and pain. She just gripped Anakin's shoulder tighter. Anakin winced in pain and mouthed, 'Please.'

The doctor cleared his throat and nodded. "This way," He signaled them to follow. "Quickly."

Anakin got a hold of the hand, now, twisting his shoulder. He led her towards where the doctor was headed. Just a few moments… She reminded herself. It'll be over. I'll be out of this pain. The doctor led them down to a hall, turning right, and then left. The doctor held the door out and ushered them in. "Quickly please." The coupled nodded and rushed in. The doctor looked around for any prying eyes and shut the door.

"Padmé please." He pleaded pointing to the contraption set in the middle of the room. She rolled her eyes and reluctantly agreed. Anakin and the doctor helped her get on the piece of equipment. Anakin sat on the edge and supportively held her hand.

"Just lay back and try to relax." He instructed. Just then, Padmé gave a shrill scream. Anakin, using his other hand, covered his ear and widened his eyes as Padmé tightened her grip. Her screams got louder and louder. The doctor instructed Padmé to push. She did and on every push, she'd either moan or scream. Anakin, however, was having a hard time from switching his real hand to his mechanical one. He looked at his hand holding Padmé's. He grimaced when he realized he's going to need some bacta gel considering that it was swollen and red.

Padmé gripped the sheets laid underneath her as she cried out. Another agonizing stir deep down in her stomach compacted itself against her womb. Sweat covered her face, neck and chest. One final scream and she felt a massive wave of release. The room dead silent as another screeching sound filled the room. The doctor smiled, quickly cleaned the baby and wrapped the newborn in a royal blue blanket.

"It's a boy." He handed the small squirming bundle to Anakin. Padmé released Anakin's hand and sighed. Anakin beamed and caressed the baby's cheeks.

"Padmé," He breathed. "You're right." He saw a pair of blue eyes gazing up curiously at him. "It is a boy."

Padmé inhaled then screamed again. Anakin looked at her with concern and turned to the doctor.

"Rodé, what's wrong?" Anakin asked. The doctor didn't seem to mind when Anakin called him by his first name.

His eyes widened. "There's another one!" He exclaimed. With Anakin's arms occupied by the baby, he cooed Padmé with every 'it's going to be alright' and 'just breathe and it'll be over.' Her hands got a grip on a handle bar and pushed harder. The pain was too much, more intense than the first one. Tearing her insides out, she pushed harder, trying to rid of the pain as soon as possible.

"I c-can't take it anymore!" Padmé shrieked. Sweat pouring down her forehead, sliding down her cheeks. She hoarsely yelled as she felt a familiar discharge. Doctor Rodé smiled, cleaned the baby and wrapped it around a cherry color blanket.

"It's a girl." He beamed. Anakin smiled happily, as he placed the baby in his other arm. Padmé, with hooded eyes, gave a small smile. The doctor rushed towards Padmé. He told Padmé to sit up. Exhaustedly, she sat up as he prepared a pillow for her back. She looked at Anakin, raising an eyebrow. Anakin smiled as he gave Padmé the baby. She looked at the baby lovingly. Small tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. The small baby slowly opened its eyes. Brown eyes stared strangely at Padmé. Padmé smiled weakly as she saw the baby's reaction.

Anakin smiled as the baby boy in his arms, stretched out his small arms to touch Anakin's face. He studied the boy. Blonde hair matted on the top of his head, big blue blinking eyes and soft lips.

"Congratulations!" Rodé exclaimed. As he was about to say something else, his beeper chimed. He sighed and scratched his head. "Well, I am to be needed elsewhere." He said. He nodded to the couple. "Anakin, Padmé. Enjoy." He smiled warmly and left the room.

"See?" Anakin wagged a finger at Padmé. "We were both right."

Padmé chuckled but gasped when she saw Anakin's left hand. "Look what I did to you!" She cleared her throat.

He rotated his hand and smiled. "It was worth it." He said as he nodded his head to the baby snuggled in her arms. She sighed and turned her attention towards the infant staring up at her. "Something wrong with your throat?" He asked.

She cleared her throat again. "Yes."

"That was a loud and bothersome scream." He said.

"I'm sorry if you were bothered by my loud and bothersome screaming." She apologized.

"Don't worry about it. At least I didn't have to put up with a 'you did this to me' or an 'I hate you.'" He joked. Padmé laughed.

"One, I love what you did to me."

"Anything for milady."

She laughed. "And two, I would never hate you." He smiled and knitted his eyebrows.

"Wait, you loved what I did to you, all that pain and anger?" He asked. "You loved all that?"

She laughed, as he looked at her dumbfounded. "No but, before that." A naughty smirk curled her lips. Anakin shook his head laughing but stopped and playfully glared at her.

"Not in front of the newborns." He whispered. "We can get to the talking later."

"I think you can do better than just talking Ani." Her naughty smile remained but her eyes sparkled with desire. He chuckled.

"Obviously, you have had a rough episode right now and it's best if we just"—

"Calm down. I was just fooling around." She smiled.

"You say that but your eyes tell me otherwise." He smirked. She smiled as her toes curled. Anakin smiled and laughed.

"Hey! Your toes curled." He teased. Padmé blushed.

"We've had this discussion before, do you remember?" She asked. The baby in her arms fidgeted then whimpered. Padmé's eyes turned to her. "What's wrong?" She asked in concern.

"Here, give me her."

Anakin and Padmé swapped the boy for the girl.

"There we go um…?" Anakin smiled. Padmé crossed her eyebrows. "Names, we need names." Anakin reminded.

"We've discussed this too."

"I know, I know."

"Luke and"—

"Leia?" Anakin suggested.

"Sure." She smiled as Luke gurgled and stretched his hands. "Ow!" Padmé exclaimed as Luke yanked her hair. She gently swatted the fingers away and tried to look serious but Luke squealed in laughter. Padmé made an 'aw' sound and hugged the troublesome baby.

Anakin saw this and rolled his eyes as if to say 'women'. He looked down at the child in his arms. Leia was quiet and constantly smiling. But to him her smiles were adorable. Her face lit up every time she'd smile. He caressed her cheek lovingly. Leia turned her head towards his touch and closed her eyes. Anakin bit his lip in admiration.
