a/n: I KNOW IT TOOK ME FOREVER! I'M SORRY! Please, just please keep reading my story. I knot it took me almost a month, but it could've been worse! I could have abandoned the story completely! DON'T WORRY! That will never happen unless some hit man suddenly comes to my house to kill me. Even so, I'd make my spirit possess some person to log into my account and finish the story for me. One more thing, I'd like to thank all my faithful readers! OKAY, on with the chapter
Photographer's Log: ENTRY 547
You'll never believe what happened today! Go on, guess. Anakin Skywalker's home!!! It all happened when Jet and I were coming home from work. Suddenly, Jet spotted a comet falling to the ground. When she tried to take a picture, we saw it wasn't a comet, it was a SPACESHIP! Or at least half of one, Skywalker must've broken it somehow. Anyway, Jet and I rushed to follow it. Jet's a lot faster than me, actually. I don't if it's her drive to get a photo or if it was her long legs, but she got there in half the time it took me. So, we got there just in time to watch Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi get out of the ship that had been burnt to a crisp and into an air taxi. Great, now we had to run all the way to follow them. PERFECT! I was already beat from running to the ship, but with Jet pulling me by the arm I made it through. They stopped in front of a group of senators. Why am I not surprised? So as Skywalker got out of the taxi along with Palpatine while Obi-Wan stayed behind. Did I forget mention Palpatine had been kidnapped? Oops, I must've have been preoccupied. No matter, I am a GOSSIP photographer. People will always talk when a movie star gets kidnapped, but they couldn't care less if a politician was kidnapped. That kind of thing is Jet's job. So anyway, when Anakin got out of the air taxi, he tried to talk Kenobi into walking out with him. Then, he acted all bummed when he had to face the politicians alone. PFFT, yeah right! He totally used reverse psychology to get some alone time with Senator Amidala! After chatting with Master Windu and all the senators, our lovely young couple was finally reunited after 5 cruel months. Jet and I watched the whole thing from the pillar right next to them. They didn't notice us! Seriously! Jet and I both set up our cameras and waited for the perfect kiss! C'mon, c'mon…snap! YES! BINGO! One big smack right on the lips! And this time I KEPT the camera, too! I could barely contain my joy, but Jet muffled my excitement.
"Shut it, nerfherder! Do you wanna get caught?!" She whispered quietly.
"C'mon, let's go. We got what we need." I whispered to her. Seriously, I was ready to go. I had been following these guys around for THREE YEARS! I needed a BREAK from them! However, Jet being a girl, she can't help but watch every moment of their tender reunion. It's like those stupid soap operas she always forces me to sit down and watch. Sarcastically Oh my gosh! It's not his baby! I couldn't tell when she spent the entire weekend at her lawyer's summer home! Anyway, we stuck around a bit longer. We could barely hear what they were saying, but we managed to figure it out.
Let's see if I can remember the whole conversation. Hmm, it started out with the usual "I missed you! I was worried about you!" speech that Amidala says EVERYTIME Skywalker comes home. We needed to get a little closer to hear the next part.
"Annie, I'm pregnant."
I wish I could tell you the rest of the conversation, but honestly I don't have a clue. I was already on the ground by then. As she said those three words, I lost all consciousness. I finally came to back at the apartment. Jet was so nice as to let me use her bed, but then I guess she was in a good mood with THAT revelation. HONESTLY! It's so HOT and JUICY; it's like hot SPICES from the heart of Tatooine. I almost thought I had died and gone to heaven! Jet could hardly contain herself either.
"Oh, good! You're awake! Can you believe it, Dex? They're having a baby! They're not even supposed to be together and now they're having a BABY!" Jet shouted in the privacy of her own apartment. As soon as I got the strength to stand again, I rushed to get my camera and headed for the door.
"Where are you going, Dex?" Jet asked me.
"Um, to give the boss our PHOTOS?! That's only what we've been trying to do all this time! We can get baby pics later, but this kiss can't wait much longer." I told her. Instantly, she ran up shoved me right back on the bed. Not only is she fast, she's strong, too.
"Oh, no you don't, Dex!" She said.
"Why the kriff not?!" I shouted. I was really confused. Why did she not want to turn in the photos? And why did she just push me on the bed? I know she's excited, but she couldn't possibly be in the mood to…
"Don't you see? If we turn in those photos, the minute the paper comes out, Amidala will realize she hasn't been careful enough and put her security levels to the MAX! Then, it'll be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get baby pics! We have to keep her thinking her security is actually doing their job, and then as soon we get proof that she's pregnant with Skywalker's child, we pull the rug from under their feet." She said connivingly.
Wow, I was impressed. I love the way her mind works, Wait, did I just say that? AH! I have to erase that! No! I promised myself I would never erase one thought in my journal, because that would ruin the whole purpose, to keep track of every thought I have. Honestly, she did have a point. I guess my picture in the front of the paper will have to wait a little longer. UGH!
