He grasped her damp hand firmly in his and encouraged her as she struggledto deliver…twins. Twins, he thought. Not one child but two. How did he get so lucky? "Your strong my love. Keep pushing," he said with a nervous tone to his voice. She screams loudly and holds onto his hand even tighter making him flinch from her tight grasp. One of the babies is pronounced a boy and Padme weakly says "Luke…" The medical droid hands the baby over to another droid cleaning it up and tenderly places the crying infant into a little blanketed glass bed. She winces from the pain and continues to push for the other small life waiting to breathe in fresh air. She screams once again, tears streaming down her face.The other twin is a girl and Padme names her Leia.
She moans and breathes heavily from the release of her children. She looks up at the very tense and hopeful father and smiles wearily up at him. "Ani let me see them."
Anakin jumps up releasing from Padme's still very solid grip and brings both babies over to her side. He puts Luke in her arms and Leia in his. "They're beautiful," she gasped. "Just like you" Anakin said soothingly. "Yes worn out dripping with sweat I'm sure" she chuckled. "They're perfect" he said while little Leia starring up at her father's face with her wide beautiful hazel eyes just like her mother. She felt his hand, gripping her tiny little fingers around his one. Anakin was swelling with pride. He'd never felt happier in all his life. Padme and him had created these beautiful living things together.
Little Luke in Padme's arms was fast asleep cooing to himself already in a dream. Padme was beyond looking down at her son as if she found a valuable treasure. This little creature she was holding belonged to her and Ani. Was their ever a moment she'd ever been more happier besides that day in the meadow picnic with Ani?
Anakin looked over at Padme noticing what a great mother she'll be. This was his family. It felt so unreachable, so incomprehensible, until now to be actually here with them now. Padme didn't die in childbirth, and it was because he'd chosen to choose the right direction. Never had he been bursting with more joy to see her alive and well with their children. Children! They're very own. The force had never blessed him so much in all his life.
"Oh Padme, I love you so much" he said kissing her forehead. "And I you Ani" she said with a cute grin and softly caressed his cheek. They kissed even holding their children in between them just soft, sweet, short, kisses.
