Padme took in the beautiful surrounding. She never thought she would be here now as the republic was crumbling. She was so happy for Anakin for listening to her. He sounded so put out and set on doing things his way that she almost thought she had lost him. Now as she was all alone with 3PO waiting for him once again in a dangerous situation. She walked out onto the veranda where they had secretly given their wedding vows. She looked out to see the beautiful horizon. The sun glowed magnificently even throughout all the havoc going on right now. She silently prayed Anakin would come back to her very soon all in one piece. She felt weak from all of the recent troubling events and needed to lie down. This was all too much for her especially while carrying. She went into her bedchamber the one were both her and Anakin had shared their first passionate night together as a wedded couple. She sighed remembering that long ago enchanting dream. How she longed to be back in his muscular, welcoming arms again.

She changed into something more comfortable to sleep in from what she had left there from her last visit. As soon as she sat on the bed trying to lie down from the weight of her belly, she hurled. She called 3PO in and feebly asked if he could clean the mess up and get her something for her stomach. She gently tried lying back down on the bed pulling the elaborate sheets closer to her and snuggling deeper into the heavenly, scented pillows. She didn't mind being alone but without at least Dorme or Sabe near her side who had always been with her, giving her advice and comfort on things, was somewhat hard for her. Never had she felt this alone. All she could do was sleep and wait for him…wait for him once again.

She woke to the cool breeze coming in through the curtained windows pleading with her to arouse. She felt more rested and relaxed than she had in a while. She got up with more energy than she thought she had and realized she was craving anything sweet and juicy. She walked out of the bedchamber spotting 3PO going to fetch something and then she saw something that caught her breath. A dark colored cloak was resting on the leather couch, just laying there as if it had been put there days ago. She walked out onto the veranda and what she saw made her faintish. There he was. Standing there in deep thought like so many years ago when he was thinking about his disturbing nightmares. "Ani?" She spoke almost with a whisper. He quickly swooped around and hurried over to embrace her. They kissed like it was the first time to touch one another. With every brush of their lips it got more and more passionate, Anakin deepening into her mouth. Drowning in the kiss, everything got hazy for Padme and forgot where she was besides being with him in this moment. She had sadly forgotten how delicious his lips tasted and how much she had longed to touch him. Anakin himself wanted more.

He wished he could make love to her right then and there, but as they slowly released he heard her say breathless from their kiss, "Anakin I've missed you so much, how long have you been here?"

"I arrived yesterday and saw you in deep sleep, you looked so peaceful I couldn't wake you. 3PO told me you've been resting for a few days though." He spread his fingertips through her captivating curls and thought to himself even after waking up from almost a week's sleep she still looked perfectly magnificent.

"I guess I was more tired than I thought. But never mind that did you kill him? Is everything at peace now?"

"I did confront him and I could see he didn't even suspect me changing my mind. We did duel and I did defeat him." He said this with a sigh of somewhat alleviation.

"Oh Ani, I'm so relieved! There's no more war!" This was the first time in awhile he saw her stunning smile look up at him which made him smile.

"I know I've done it all for you. We can finally be together now."
