Anakin was very quick to discover that raising two newborn babies on your own is hard. However, Anakin had family to help him. With their help he started to get into a routine, and by spending time with the twins he learned more about what made them comfortable, happy, stop crying, and even go to sleep. He also began to see personality differences between the two.

Luke is a very curious little one. Anakin soon learned that he loved to look outside in the backyard, he loved trying to figure out what everything was. Anakin found it very cute to watch actually.

Leia on the other hand loved to be talked to. All Anakin had to do was simply let her hear his voice and she would be calm or happy. However, she wanted Anakin all to herself. She never let one of her other family members hold her when she was hungry, or falling asleep, no matter what she wanted Anakin for those things. It was clear she is a Daddy's girl.

What amazed Anakin the most about them is that they already know who he is. They already knew he is their father, and he thought babies take a little long to figure out who their father is; but then again they are no ordinary babies. They are his children. Anakin had passed on much force potential to them, and he was guessing because of that they were able to figure out that he is their father from the moment they saw him and heard his voice.

It really comforted Anakin to know that he had two precious twin children who were already begging for his attention. They are his light, they comfort him, they raise his spirit, and they make him feel at peace. All Anakin had to do is pick them up and hold them close to him, and he will forget about all his problems. It's doesn't make him forget that Padmé is not here of course, but it soothes his pain of that. Because of them he has already come to grips with it.

However, he had a feeling inside him that made him ask himself if would be a good father as they got older. Or would his parenting skills diminish as they grew. His family assured him that it would be alright, but that didn't make the feeling go away. However, he does do the best he can to bury that feeling where he can barely feel it, and most of the time it works.

Rain poured down over the home of the Nabberies and Skywalkers. Anakin slept peaceful in his and the twins room that his parents in-law had given them.

He hoped it wouldn't be this way for long, he hoped that he could find a good enough job and save enough to afford their own home, but until then they were perfectly willing to let him stay with them.

Anakin awoke to the evening storm. He wondered why though. Whenever it rained he had been known to sleep even deeper than he already did. The next thing he knew was that he sensed Leia was awake.

Anakin rolled to his other side and got off the bed to retrieve her from her crib. "What's the matter Angel?" Anakin asked her. He felt fear radiating from her, but he didn't know what it was she could be afraid of. A second later thunder boomed outside. Leia whimpered and gripped her father's arm, then tried to hide by pressing closer to his chest. Anakin understood. "Does the thunder scare you?" Leia only snuggled closer as her reply; Anakin took it as a yes. "It's ok." Anakin hugged her as tight as he could without squashing her too much. Then he walked back to the bed and sat back down. "I'm here. It won't hurt you. It's just a little electricity in the sky, that's all it is. Though, I will admit to you. It can be frightening. When I was little and had never known what a thunder storm was like, I got really scared when I saw and heard it for the first time. But do you know what my master told me?" Leia had rolled out of her scared position and was now staring up at his face listening to him as he talked to her. "He told me, that if I ever get scared of anything, just think of the things it can't do to you, and remember them so that that way, it won't always scare you. I got better eventually, and now I actually like to listen to it rain. You probably will too, someday. But until then, I'll always be there to hold you when you need me." Leia actually smiled at him when he finished. Then it turned into a yawn. Anakin chuckled as he watched his little girl fight to stay awake, but he guessed that his story had calmed her mind to the point where she was tired.

However, Anakin couldn't find the strength to put her back in her crib. So instead, he placed her on the other side of the bed. Then he got up to retrieve her brother and place him next to her. He pulled the covers up to both of their chins to protect them from the chill in the room. Anakin leaned down and gave both of them kisses. "I love you both so much!" He spoke with his heart when he said that, and he somehow knew they understood him.

Sleepiness soon took over him as well, and he climbed into the bed right next to them. Anakin turned so that he was facing them so he could keep an eye on them in case they needed to be tended to, or because they got scared. Yet, both babies where fast asleep, and a few seconds later so was their father.

Anakin woke up the next morning, his twin's peacefully sleeping right next to him. Well, Luke was. Leia had awoken, and was moving around next to her brother.

Anakin smiled at his children. He knows he is incredibly lucky to have them as his children, and he knew he would do anything for them, anything.

Anakin heard a small crack of thunder boom outside. When he looked at the window he realized it was still raining. "Hah, still raining. Huh baby?" Anakin cooed to his little girl. He sat up so that his back was to the headboard of the bed, and picked up the baby in his arms. She snuggled up against his chest as soon as he secured a good place to hold her.

"How long have you been up?" Anakin asked. He could see the tiredness in her eyes. The storm probably kept her up ever since he fed and put her down a little while ago.

Anakin was just about to say something out, when Luke woke up. He took his hand and started sucking on it. That was a signal to Anakin. "Alright, you two hang on for a few seconds I'll go get your food." Anakin slipped off the bed and went to the bathroom connected to the bedroom.

Anakin learned that the sucking on the hand gesture meant that they were getting hungry. Whenever one was hungry, he went ahead and fed the other. That way he and the baby could dodge the little one getting hungry later.

Anakin reached above his sink where he kept the twins' feeding bottles. Then he reached for the formula. He mixed the two together then a few minutes later he had the bottles ready. For warming that is. Anakin turned on the hot water faucet, and as soon as he felt the hot water coming he put the drain stop on the drain, and placed the bottles in the sink. A few minutes later they were ready for feeding, however Anakin kept the other bottle in the sink so that when he fed Leia her bottle would still be warm.

Anakin came into the bedroom and sat next to the twins on the large bed. He took a hand sucking Luke into his arms and cradled him. Then he retrieved the bottle and placed the end in Luke's mouth. Luke drank hungrily while his father just stared down at his adorable little face. As it turns out Luke had not only inherited Anakin's ability to sleep very long, but he had inherited Anakin's appetite. Even though he only drank milk for now, the way he drank it so hungrily made Anakin believe that he had his appetite, but anyone could tell he had Padmé's gentle and patient nature. Unlike Anakin, and Leia who had inherited his personality.

Speaking of Leia with Anakin's personality, Leia began to demand that Anakin paid attention to her. "It's alright Litttle Angel, it's almost your turn." Anakin soothed the little girl. Just a few moments later Luke had finished off the bottle. Anakin lifted him to his shoulder and rubbed the little boys back, in an attempt to get him to burp. Luke burped a few minutes after much rubbing, and Anakin couldn't help but kiss his boy's cheek. "I hope I'll be able to teach you some manners." Anakin joked. Anakin placed the boy next to him and picked up his sister. "Here you go Little Angel." Anakin gave the bottle to Leia and she began to drink.

Ruwee Naberrie walked out of his and his wife's bedroom heading downstairs to get ready for his day. A noise coming out of Anakin's room stopped him. He came to the door and as quietly as he could opened the door just so that he could see in, and peered in the room.

Anakin had Leia propped on his shoulder rubbing her back. Leia held on to Anakin's shoulder affectionately. Leia all of the sudden burped. "Leia!" Anakin played. "That's not lady like at all." Anakin moved the little girl to his arms. "Luckily this time, I'm the only one that heard you, but we will have to work on that won't we? Yes we will." Anakin rubbed his nose with her then lifted her back to his shoulder. Then as carefully as he could he lifted Luke into his free arm and lifted him to his other shoulder, and he hugged them both. "I love you both so much!

Ruwee could hear the tears in Anakin's voice. He smiled at his son in-law though.

Ruwee was so impressed with how well Anakin was doing as a father; a single father nonetheless. However, if anyone saw him with the twins they could tell that Anakin loved every second of it. That he loved being a father.

Ruwee closed the door back and headed downstairs thinking of the confidence he had in Anakin as a parent.

Anakin looked in on the twins one last time before he headed downstairs to make him some CAF. He reached the kitchen and turned on the dispenser. When he reached for a cup, he realized that his mother in-law was sitting at the table. "Morning Jobal."

Jobal looked back at him and smiled. "Morning Anakin."

Anakin took his cup and placed it under the dispenser. While the CAF was still brewing he went to get some sugar and milk, but Anakin tended to like vanilla in CAF so he got some vanilla as well.

"Like vanilla?" "Jobal asked. She had never seen him add vanilla to any of his morning beverages.

"I love it!" Anakin exclaimed.

"Well, if I know you, you have quite the sweet tooth." Jobal smiled and Anakin laughed.

"Padmé told you that?"

"She sure did. She always said whenever she would try to hide any sweet from you, you would find it and eat it in like, two seconds."

Anakin laughed. "She was imagining things, I assure you." Anakin said as he flicked the dispenser to pouring his CAF. Jobal laughed. Anakin added his three other ingredients to his CAf, but smiled why he did.

"How were the twins last night with the storm?"

Anakin sat with Jobal at the table and placed his CAF down to cool. "Good as always. Leia got a little scared however, but I picked her up and she eventually fell back asleep."

"And Luke?"

"Slept through it, except when I needed to take care of him." Jobal laughed again.

It really was a shame Padmé couldn't be here with him, the twins would have been quite a laughing stock for her as well. "Did Ruwee already leave for the university?"

"Mm hm." Jobal answered over her sop of her drink. "Not too long ago."

"Oh. Hopefully I'll be able to find my own job soon." Jobal smiled.

"Well, if it takes longer than you think, you know that you are always welcome here."

"Thank you, Jobal." Jobal ran her fingers through his hair. He smiled at her then turned to his CAF.

The day had progressed on as it usually did these days. Ruwee,was at work, Jobal did some housework, Anakin offered to help but she usually brushed it off; Anakin took care of the twins and scoured the holonet for any mechanical job offers.

He had found a few and had written down all of their addresses and holocomfrequencies. Because Anakin is caring for extremely young ones he wanted to find someone who was willing to let him work from home until they were older. Jobal assured him that many of the people that offered up those jobs were very kind, but Anakin had his doubts.

Day turned into night. Anakin was sitting on the couch in the living room on a datapad looking over another job offer with Luke nestled in his other arm. This time it was Luke who had wanted his father's attention more. Leia was laying down in his lap, but asleep.

Ruwee walked in the door, but Anakin didn't notice. Ruwee smiled when he saw his son in law with his grandchildren. "How is your search going?" Ruwee asked.

Anakin turned around and saw Ruwee. "It's going alright. I'm praying though that at least one of them is willing to let me work from home for a few years till the kids are older."

"Well, I'm sure at least one of them will be willing, but if not I'm sure either Jarred or I can probably find some people who you could talk to."

Ruwee sat on the other couch diagonal from the one Anakin was in. "Thank you Ruwee, but you really don't have to do that."

"Anakin! You can't do everything on your own. Eventually you have to let someone help you. I mean… raising two babies on your own is probably hard enough." Anakin smiled on that one.

"It is, but it's also fun and enjoyable."

Ruwee listened intently on the words that were spoken to him. Then he looked on at the two sleeping babies perfectly content and safe in their father's embrace. Leia however caught his attention. "You know?" Anakin looked up from his datapad to listen to his father in law again. "Whenever the conversation of children came up, Padmé always said you wanted a daughter."

Anakin looked at Leia who still slept in his lap. "I did. For as long as I can remember I had wanted as least one little girl. Not that I would have minded a boy, I just wanted at least one. And now I have these two" Anakin placed the datapad on the cushion and lifted Leia into his other arm.

"Anakin! I just want you to know that, I think you do an amazing job with these two. Anyone can tell just by seeing you with them that you love being a father. I certainly can. And I just want you to know that I had and still have full confidence in you as a husband, and I have full confidence in you as a father." Anakin didn't know how to react to Ruwee'swords. He felt really happy that he thought of him as a really good father. Anakin reacted in the best way he could that moment. He smiled and cried. Ruwee got up and pulled Anakin in his arms. "I also want you to know that I think of you as my son." Anakin's eyes opened wide. "Not just because you married my daughter. I really want you to know that I thank you! I don't think anyone of us could've made Padmé as happy as you made her. You never gave up on her, and you haven't given up, and now even though she's not here you are raising your children. I couldn't have done it any better myself." Anakin cried out, but Ruwee didn't mind in the least. "Listen to me alright. You are my son! And I love you! If you ever need anything, you come to me you understand?" Anakin nodded.

"I wish Padmé was here though!" Anakin muffled.

"I know you do. She will wake up one day. Don't ever forget that." Anakin sniffled.

"I won't! Ruwee…" "Anakin!" Ruwee interrupted him. "I really do think it's time you started calling me Dad!" Anakin put his face into shock. "I know you never had a father, and I'm sure your master was like a father to you, but then again he is a Jedi. But now you have me! And if you ever need me do not hesitate to come to me!" Words couldn't really describw how Anakin felt right now. To know that Padmé's father was willing to be his father. Anakin felt more part of a family than ever before. No one could ever replace his mother, but he still had Jobal. "Thank you Dad!"

Ruwee hugged the young man even tighter. He really understood that Anakin has been forced to live through a hard time like this. His whole life has been hard, but Ruwee wanted to try and attempt to get him through this hard time, and bring him to enjoy at least one good part in his life.

Little Luke didn't like that he was being squashed. Ruwee pulled back and Anakin set Leia back in his lap as gently as he could to soothe Luke. "Guess they both are quite the attention seeker." Ruwee laughed.

"Yes they are! It's usually Leia though who wants the attention."

Ruwee laughed more. "A Daddy's girl huh?" Anakin nodded. He let Ruwee pick her up and hold her while he tended to Luke.

Anakin walked out of the bathroom after changing into his nightclothes. His twins lay out on his bed so he could tell them goodnight before he went to sleep. One at a time he kissed the babies' cheeks and placed them in their cribs. "Goodnight Angels! I love you both!" Anakin closed his drapes, turned out his lamp, then climbed into his bed and fell asleep.

I'm still young so I've never had kids, but I tried to incorporate parenting as best I could. Hope it was decent! Merry Christmas! Thank you and God Bless!
