AN: I know its short, but I wanted to post something before I went to work for the day. Enjoy!

Chapter Three:

"What happened to Anakin, Padmé?" Obi-Wan softly asked through their holovid communication.

"I don't know. Captain Typho and I were on our way back from the Senate building when we saw someone falling from one of the windows of the Senate Complex. We rushed to where they had landed and we found that is was Anakin. He was barely alive. We had known about the some kind of attack on the Jedi Temple. So instead of keeping him on Courscant, we brought him to Polis Massa."

"What are his injuries?" Obi-Wan asked concerned for his former Padawan.

"Many of his ribs are broken as well as his sternum. Along with that one of his lungs had to be medically repaired because it had been torn by one of his broken ribs. And his mechanical hand has been shattered by the impact of the fall. The med droids said he was lucky he didn't break his back or have one of his ribs puncture his heart. Right now he's still unconscious, but slowly starting to come around."

Tears gently began to spill over from Padmé's eyes. Even though Obi-Wan was many systems from her, he could tell that there was more she was hiding.

"Padmé, there is more that you aren't telling me isn't there?" Obi-Wan calmly asked.

She didn't say anything. She knew that Anakin would be upset with her if she did tell, but she knew that she had to. She had to tell Obi-Wan the truth.

"Please Padmé. This isn't the time for secrets. Almost all the Jedi have been destroyed. If you know something, anything at all, please tell us."

She took a deep breath. "Anakin and I are married," she quietly said looking away from the gaze of the holoimage of Obi-Wan.

For a few seconds, Obi-Wan sat there in shock and disbelievement. He knew that Anakin had feelings for Padmé and Padmé had those same feelings for Anakin. But he never thought that they would take it that far.

"…and there's more Obi-Wan…."

"What else is there Padmé?"

"I'm pregnant."

When she told Obi-Wan that bit of information, his face told it all. He was disappointed and worried. Disappointed that his former Padawan had broken so many Jedi codes as well as kept this information from him. And he was worried, because if Anakin was truly the Chosen One, then his offspring would be very strong in the Force. That fact worried him more about how Master Yoda was going to react to this bit of information.

After a few moments of tension, Obi-Wan sighed heavily. "We'll figure all this out later on. Right now Master Yoda and I are on our way back to Courscant with Senator Organa. We're going to recalibrate a code that is coming from the Temple, telling the Jedi that the war is over and to return. If there is anyone left, we can't let them fall into this trap. And we're going to face Palpatine."

"Why?" Padmé asked a bit shocked.

"Anakin found out that he is the Sith Lord we've been looking for. He told Master Windu who contacted Yoda. That is how we know. We also believe he is the one who ordered the slaughter of all the Jedi. He now calls himself Emperor."

"Please be careful Obi-Wan."

"We will Padmé. Stay there until we arrive in a few days."

She nodded yes as the image of Obi-Wan faded away.


"Known about your former Padawan I have." Yoda said walking up behind Obi-Wan as he wearily ran his fingers through his hair.

"Why didn't you mention anything Master?"

"Testing him I was."

"Testing?"

"Could have joined Sidious and his lies. But he did not. Chosen One he is."

Obi-Wan sighed once again. How come he was always the last to learn everything?

"Pregnant with twins she is."

"What?" Obi-Wan asked in disbelief. How many more surprises could be thrown at him in one day? "Does she know Master?"

"Not yet. Now is not the time to worry about them. Defeat the Sith we must."

Obi-Wan nodded in agreement.


"Daddy! Daddy!"

He scooped the little girl up into his arms. "Were you good for your mother while I was gone?"

The little girl nodded happily yes as she hugged her father's neck tightly and gave him a kiss on the nose like she always did. "Are you going to stay home for a while?"

"Yes."

"Yayay!" she exclaimed with a huge smile on her face that brought a smile to his as well. "Will you tell me a story about the Knights like you did the night before you left?"

The knights – the Jedi Knights. He felt a pang in his heart as he continued to force the smile. "Sure sweetheart…."


Anakin's eyes slowly opened for the first time in days.

Where was he?

What had happened?

Did the Sith have him?

Where was Padmé?
