Padme had shut up then, not able to say a word. Luke knew about Leia. How? Padme thought. Once the meeting was over, Padme grabbed Luke by the arm and pulled him into a room. She locked the door and whirled on Luke.

"How?" She asked. Luke stared at her before answering,

"Master Yoda told me there was another Skywalker. Ben said he was talking about my sister. I put the pieces together from there." He then looked at Padme, his eyes demanding an answer as he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" Padme sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"I wanted to, really I did, but there were several complications." She explained. Luke leaned forward in his stacked box seat, arms resting on his knees.

"What kind of complications?" He asked.

"Well first there was the issue of your father." Padme pointed out, "And there's the issue of me being 14 when we met. Would you have believed a 14 year old you just met being your mother from the past?" Luke shook his head. "Exactly." Padme sighed as she sat down on her own stack. She began twisting the silver ring she wore on her right hand. When she arrived, she had one silver and one gold ring in her pocket that symbolized her as the queen of Naboo. Ever since, she wore them separately, so as to keep herself a secret as the rings were still a symbol of the queen of Naboo in this time. The two were quiet before Luke whispered,

"When will you tell her?" Padme covered her eyes and whispered,

"When the Force allows me." Luke shook his head.

"The Force sure loves keeping the truth of our family secret." He said. Padme sighed,

"You have no idea."

Later that day, Padme was braiding her hair in order to hide it in her helmet. She sighed. When her hair is wet it curls and it's harder to style. She had researched some things about herself and discovered her hair straightens to waves at some point in her short life, thankfully. Finally managing to get her hair in some sense of a braid, she put her helmet on and straightened her camouflage poncho. She had to face Luke and Leia while on this mission with the information of their relation being known to half of the twins. She shook her head. She knew this would happen just not from someone else's mouth. She shook away any doubts and went to meet the group. She smiled at Leia.

"Hi Lei." She smiled, using Leia's nickname. Leia looked at her, concerned.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Something in Padme's eyes was different than normal. Something was restrained and sad. Padme nodded,

"I'll be okay." Leia instantly rapped her arms around her mother. She knew whenever Padme spoke that way it meant something she couldn't control was bothering her. Leia had figured that out after Padme had seen people die from joining the rebellion and she had shut herself up in her room until both Luke and Leia had come and convinced her to open the door and let them comfort her as she was in shock trauma. She had spoken the same way as she did now. Soon Han, Luke and Chewie walked over. Luke quickly saw the situation and wrapped his arms around his sister and mother.

"It's okay." He whispered. Leia nodded.

"I know." Padme whispered quietly, "I know." Even though she was the youngest, she was still the strongest. She never broke beyond repair, which was something a normal 14 year old would've. She never rejected comfort but did close herself off when she needed to calm down. She was a unique girl and both Luke and Leia knew she was irreplaceable in their hearts. But Luke knew she wouldn't be around forever. And so, mother and son took in all that they could and imagined for one moment that the three of them were a family not destined to be separated forever.

"Okay let's go." Han said after 20 minutes of silence, breaking the Skywalker's family moment. Luke broke the hug first, followed by Leia and when they looked at Padme, the sadness and restraint look was gone from her eyes. They climbed into the shuttle and made their way to Endor. Chewie growled in complaint. "Well Chewie, I don't think the Empire designed their shuttles for Wookies." Chewie growled again and Padme chuckled. Chewie loved to complain. As they neared Endor, Padme froze. She could sense Vader, faintly but he was there. She looked at Luke and he met her eyes before saying,

"I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come."

"Relax Kid; it's all in your head." Padme quickly asked,

"Does he sense me?" Luke turned to her and met her eyes.

"No. He can only sense me. I cloaked your presence a long time ago. He's more desperate to find you than me for obvious reasons." Padme chuckled humorously. Even without memories of everything she missed, she knew Vader would want to find her to figure out how and why she was alive in the first place.

"Good point." She said. Leia looked at her mother, her face saying,

'Are you okay?' Padme smiled slightly,

"I'm fine." Leia nodded,

"I hope so." Padme jumped.

"I heard you!" She cried. Leia turned to her eyes wide. Padme couldn't believe it but now was not the time to focus on that. Now was the time to focus on not letting Vader discover her for he would do everything in his power to find her if he knew she was on Endor in the first place. But she would be brave and not focus on that. She would focus on the mission and figuring out how to tell Leia who she really was.

Well there's the chapter. I know it's shorter but I wanted to fill in the trip to Endor before actually starting the mission. And I gave you a family moment! It had me happy I could give you a moment. And Leia's Force abilities are strengthening through her bond with her mother. And of course Luke is being overprotective of his mother about Vader. He's older than her by 5 years so he has the right, despite their relation! Anyways, time for thanks!
