Padmé Amidala woke suddenly and turned to look at the crono, it was only five am. With a sigh, she moved to the refresher for the sixth time that evening. This was ridiculous, what was it with Jedi babies? Now she knew the real reason Jedi weren't allowed to marry! As it got perfectly normal people like herself knocked up with over-active Jedi children!
She yawned and gave a slight groan as she walked past Anakin's bedchambers and noticed the light was still on. She spun towards the door and sharply knocked it. Anakin gave a gruff mumble before softly saying, "Come in."
Padmé slowly opened the door to see the Jedi adorned in some soft sleeping pants and his well-toned chest fully on view. "Ani?" She said barely whispering.
"Padmé," he said just as softly and with that comment she ran into his arms and pored out all the tears she'd pushed deep into her broken soul. He just held her while she relieved her pent up grief, his eyes bent in confusion. The minutes passed and Anakin's worry increased as she continued to cry.
Finally he could stand the silence no longer, "Padmé, what's wrong?" He asked, quietly. Padmé snivelled and pushed herself deeper into his strong arms. He rocked their bodies back and forwards, enjoying the brief moments of closeness.
Finally her sobs concluded and she looked deep into his crystal blue eyes. "Ani, I'm so confused. I have to choose between what's right and what I feel in my heart. How do I choose?" she murmured.
"Oh Padme, do something for you, why must you always choose what is right? If your heart feels it, it must be okay!" he reassured, stroking her silky hair.
"Is this about the baby?" he asked, trying to hide his pained expression so he didn't upset the beautiful Senator anymore than she already was.
"A bit, but then again not entirely," she said, calmly, considering her current situation.
"What is this about then?" Anakin pushed on.
"The man I love," Padmé said slowly.
"I see," Anakin replied, darkly.
"Oh, … don't you see, Ani?" Padme asked softly and steadying herself for the confession she was about to make, "the man I love is…."
"Yes?"
"It's you, Ani. I love you, Anakin Skywalker!" she admitted.
"You love me?" he said, staring at her in shock, "I thought that we had decided not to fall in love."
"I think it's a bit late for that, Anakin." She remarked, "I love you with all my heart!"
Oh, Padmé, I love you too, so much. So much it hurts." The young Jedi, revealed, "I want to be with you forever." He said, gently kissing her on her soft, silky, pink lips.
"Oh, Ani, what are we going to do?"
"Well I'd always imagined us being together after a moment like this." He suggested.
"Yes, that would be truly wonderful, but what about the Jedi Council?" she asked, "a Jedi is forbidden to marry!"
"Yes, but I love you, Padmé. I would leave the Jedi for you."
"I was worried you'd say that!"
"Why? Don't you want me, Darling Padmé?" he asked, sweetly.
"Of course I do!" she said, kissing his lips, briefly.
"Hey," Anakin said, tenderly, "we've got loads to talk about, lets go for a walk in the park!"
"Sure, Ani," she agreed and five minutes later the new couple slid out of the Jedi Temple for a walk.
