Ok here is Chapter Fourteen. Thank you everyone for your input. I want to thank everyone of you that have reviewed this story so faithfully and those of you that have read it you guys are awesome. It is because of the fact that you read it or review it that I keep on writing this story.

Star Destroyer Exactor: One Day Later:

Vader stood on the Command Bridge of the Exactor as he stared at the skeletal frame of the incomplete Death Star. Wordlessly he turned to Captain Ozzel, "Is my shuttle ready?"

"Yes my Lord."

Vader nodded and wordlessly headed for his waiting Shuttle and headed for the Death Star in Disgust towards the pathetic technological terror.

Death Star:

Vader walked off of his shuttle and headed to where Wilhuff Tarkin stood inside of the Complete Hanger bay, "Lord Vader I am guessing that you are here for the construction report."

"Yes Governor and The Emperor also wants me to to tour the station."

Tarkin nodded, "We have completed three Command bridges and half of the Turbolaser armaments."

"Which are of no use since you don't have the main power source activated. Also you don't have the pathetic array completed."

"Of course not but we are on schedule Vader."

Vader nodded, "I will see this skeleton station only because the Emperor requests it Tarkin but know that the day that I am Emperor that this Terror will be decommissioned."

"You plan to outlive him Lord Vader?"

"I am at least forty years younger than him of course I will outlive him and I will outlive you too. I don't indulge like you do on alcohol of women."

Tarkin smirked, "Is it even a possibility for you to indulge on either?"

Vader glared at Tarkin, "It is none of your business."

If only you old men knew, Mused Vader with a smile. However had he only not been outranked by Tarkin the slimy man would be dead at his feet right now for his comment. How he was looking forward to the day that he would squeeze the life out of the pathetic Moff.

After a tour of The Death Star Vader headed for his shuttle in anger and disgust towards Tarkin and the Death Star.

Star Destroyer Exactor:

Malen watched as his Nephew entered their chambers, "The girls are training."

Vader nodded as his mechanical breathing filled the room, "I am going to talk to the Emperor and then we will talk."

Malen nodded as Vader approached his Holocom. Within moments an image of the Emperor appeared, "Master I have completed the tour of the Death Star. Everything is on schedule."

"Good very good Lord Vader. I am very much pleased with your progress."

"Thank you Master."

"I am going to award you with some time off. You are free for one week and a half. Do whatever you want or go to Bast or whatever."

"Thank you Master. I will send the Exactor to Coruscant and I will disembark immediately."

The Emperor smiled, "Good very good my friend."

Vader then watched the transmission end and then looked at Malen, "Perhaps Padme would come and visit me."

"Contact her."

Vader nodded and left his uncle wordlessly.

He headed for his room and activated his secondary Holocom and watched as an image of Padme appeared, "Hello Angel."

Vader could tell that Padme was shaken by his mask so he gently removed it as Padme smiled, "There is My Ani."

Vader smiled, "I have been granted a week and a half off by the Emperor and I was wondering if you would come somewhere were we could meet. I would like to see you."

Padme nodded, "I will talk to Cade and the others and then get back to you."

Vader nodded as Padme spoke, "While I was with you Obi-Wan came."

"What did Cade do?"

"From what I heard Cade flipped out on him. He made him leave and told him off and went as far as condemning Master Yoda and telling Obi-Wan that the New Jedi Order has sure made a hell of a start with two of the most revered Masters trying to steal a woman's children."

Vader smiled, "I always liked Cade and now I am liking him even more. Listen I saw Ahsoka on Kashyyyk yesterday."

Padme cringed as horror and fear appeared on her face, "Ani Please tell me that you didn't kill her."

Vader shook his head, "I couldn't bring myself to. I just took her and brought her here with me."

Padme nodded with a smile, "Good tell her that I said hi."

"I will, Just contact me after you talk to Cade."

Padme nodded, "I will Anakin. Cade really believes in you right now. I think he has faith that you will change."

Vader nodded not wanting to get into changing, "I certainly am grateful to him for all that he has done for you."

Padme smiled as the transmission ended.

Vader then left the room and found Malen waiting for him, "I am guessing that we will be taking my ship to wherever we go."

Vader nodded, "We have to. That way Palpatine gets no ideas about who I have on the ship working for me and so that we won't be noticed. I will disguise myself wherever we go."

Malen nodded, "Are we going to take the Togruta girl too?"

"We have to I can't risk Palpatine sensing her presence when the ship heads to Coruscant."

Malen nodded in agreement. How he hated the situation that his nephew was in. If only there was a way that they could change it for the better sooner than planned.

As the Exactor jumped into Hyperspace Malen spoke, "Do you have plans for that dammed Death Star once you are Emperor?"

"I plan to scrap it along with that pathetic Tarkin."

Malen nodded, "I never liked the Tarkin family."

"Neither have I. I am guessing that you have had dealings with them."

Malen nodded in silence.

Vader then spoke, "I can't blame you. I hate seeing the face of the swine when I have to come here."

Malen grinned, "He certainly is that. Why haven't you choked him yet?"

"He outranks me to an extent because the Emperor likes him so much."

Malen shook his head, "Yet you are designated as the future Emperor?"

Vader nodded, "Believe me the day that I am he will be forgotten. I will toss him aside like he is nothing more than a criminal."

"He is that. All of these people are."

Vader nodded in anger, "I was so blind to his lies and so stupid."

Malen nodded, "Everyone back then was Anakin you just got sucked in deeper."

Vader nodded as he headed for the training room where Ahsoka and Shmi were training.

Upon arriving in the training room Vader noticed that Ahsoka and Shmi were engaged in an intense duel. Shmi was learning fast and Vader was proud of both of his students. He smiled and activated a training lightsaber. "Lets see what the two of you got. Both of you against me."

Shmi and Ahsoka smiled at one another. Both girls took up positions and together made a coordinated attack on Vader together.

Vader allowed them to push them back before first advancing on Ahsoka whom fought in vain as he pressed on. She was soon pinned to the floor as Vader disarmed her before turning On Shmi. He threw Shmi Ahsoka's lightsaber and then turned to Ahoska. "Get another one."

Ahsoka nodded as Vader spoke, "Try making each strike one handed I want you to fight with two blades."

Shmi nodded and followed her cousin's instructions.

She made strike after strike at Her cousin as Ahsoka rejoined the fray. Vader smiled, "Good you both are doing very good."

Ahsoka smiled as she made an attack on her master followed by a Force flip that almost took him off guard. At the same time Shmi made a Force Jump upon her cousin and Vader was forced to drop to the ground as they Force jumped over him. He then turned and attacked them in retaliation forcing them back against the wall.

The two young girls giggled as they fought against Vader's attack and then stopped as his attacks became harder and harder to counter.

Vader smiled as he took one of Shmi's Lightsabers which he took in his empty left hand. He then engaged Shmi and Ahsoka in concert forcing them into a corner of the room as he threw Shmi's confiscated lightsaber aside and took her second lightsaber from her as he pinned her to the ground. He then moved onto Ahsoka and pinned her against the wall before taking her lightsaber with a smile.

"You both did well now I want you to practice against the droids Shmi start at level four where you left off and Ahsoka you can start at level seven."

Both girls nodded obediently and proceeded as ordered.

Vader then turned and stood alongside Malen as the two girls practiced. Malen looked at Vader in shock, "For just a few days how skilled would you say Shmi is?"

"She is a Skywalker that is for sure based on how well she is doing. I was at level four in the first few days of my training too."

Malen nodded, "I am guessing that had you been in Order Sixty Six that you would have survived."

"Most likely, Obi-Wan's training still continues to save my life."

"Have you thought about reconciling with him?"

Vader shook his head, "I doubt that he would listen openly to me and I am pretty angry that he would try to take the twins from Padme I am sure that he was a part of it."

Malen nodded, "No one is perfect Anakin not even the heros. You got to forgive at certain points Anakin."

"What about Cay?"

"Cay needed to die but I am sure that Obi-Wan is nothing like Cay."

Vader nodded realizing that he could not argue with his Uncle. His Uncle at many times he found was just so right that he couldn't argue with him no matter what.

Dantooine:

Padme looked at Cade as he took in everything she had told him about Vader and his day off. Cade was silent for a moment before speaking, "Tell him to come here."

Padme looked at Cade in shock, "Are you sure Cade? He could kidnap us."

Cade shook his head, "Did he ever press you about your location?"

Padme shook her head, "No he didn't even ask me."

"This Malen is helping bring him back into the light Padme. I think it is time that we extend the branch of trust to him. Invite him here for the thirteen days. Luke and Leia are really good at keeping secrets and they are also really good about hiding their Force Abilities I think that we can trust them to keep him a secret."

Padme nodded, "Thank you Cade."

Cade smiled, "I also want to see him in person to see how he acts."

Padme nodded and left Cade immediately and Cade watched in amusement as she ran up to her bedroom.

Padme ran for her room and for the Holocom and activated it.

Within moments the face of her beloved husband appeared. "Hi Ani."

"Angel you have called me back rather fast."

Padme smiled, "I just talked to Cade and he has decided that he trusts you enough to allow you to come here to our home."

Vader looked at his wife in shock, "Cade said that?"

Padme nodded, "I have been asking him for advice and inviting you here was his idea."

Vader nodded as Padme spoke, "We are on Dantooine and I am sending you the coordinates right now."

Vader smiled, "Ok Angel I will be there tomorrow, I am bringing my Uncle along with Shmi and Snips."

Padme smiled, "Ok Ani I will see you in a day. I will get the house ready."

Vader smiled as the transmission ended.

Padme then jumped out of her chair in excitement. At the same time the door hissed open, revealing Serra, "I just wanted to tell you that lunch is ready I have it made."

Padme smiled, "Thank you Serra."

Serra nodded and left Padme.

Padme then headed downstairs noticing that 3PO was doing the laundry as she sat down to eat the small lunch that Serra had made for her. "Serra you are the best you always know what I want and need."

Serra smiled at her mistress as she sat down to eat her lunch.

Padme smiled, "And the children?"

Serra smiled, "I am going to pick them up you looked really tired after that battle last night and I want you to rest a little bit especially with Vader coming. I doubt that you will be sleeping that much at night," said Serra with a grin.

Padme shook her head, "Serra I can recall that you slept very little when we first arrived here with Cade. Now watch it because I can give you things that you can't live down either."

Serra smiled, "I guess you are right and not to mention that you can discipline me each time that I give you things like this."

Padme nodded hating to be reminded of the fact that she owned Serra and that she had the right to raise her hand to her. Looking at the slave bracelets on the girl's wrists sometimes made her want to cry to think of Serra's fate. Yet Serra seemed unaffected by her fate and she never seemed to mind it.

Padme watched as Cade entered the room, "I will go with Serra to get the kids. You are staying right?"

Padme nodded with a smile as Cade left her.

Han Solo looked at Chewbacca as they worked on the Amidala, "So I hear that we are going to have Vader here."

"Perhaps being a father to his children will change him for the better," Chewbacca roared in response.

"I certainly hope so pal."

"We will remain at Padme's side no matter what."

"Hey Mara is my Mom now I can't leave if I wanted to and she would never part with Padme not to mention how she is liking that Uncle of Vader's ."

"He is older than Karis but certainly better looking."

"I can drink to that Pal."

Chewie quickly roared back in response, "Don't let me or your mom catch you drinking again Cub!"

Han grinned as he got back to work on the ship.

Cade smiled as he held Mara in his arms while Serra buckled Luke and Leia into their seats.

"Did you have a good day Mara?"

"Yes Daddy."

"Good, Mara be a good little girl and have your nap with Luke and Leia then we will get up and play."

"Ok Daddy," replied Mara.

Cade then smiled as he got into the Speeder and drove Serra and the children back home.

Padme was waiting at home as her children rushed to her. She hugged and kissed each one before motioning for them to follow her as she took them to their bedroom. She kissed each one and tucked them into their beds before leaving and noticing Serra emerge from Mara's room.

Serra smiled, "So we can start preparing the rooms for Anakin's arrival."

Padme smiled, "We have like three spare beds it is no big deal since Anakin will be in mine."

Serra smiled at Padme in response.

Padme then headed out of the Hallway and with Serra at her side the two women headed for the Hanger where, Han Cade and Chewie all were gathered, "We have the ship in prime Shape Padme. It needed a lot of cleaning and checking up."

Padme nodded, "We should look at it every month because it has to be ready for any escape run that we may have to make."

Cade nodded in agreement, "R2 has told me that he can handle most of the repairs. He just fixed an error on the shield Generator and he says it is perfect now."

Padme nodded with a smile.

Padme then headed back into the house and got to work cleaning and preparing for her husband's imminent arrival. She found that it was all that she could think of.

The next day Padme sat the twins down and spoke, "Remember how we told you each that no one can know that you can use the Force?"

"Yes Mommy," replied Luke and Leia.

Padme smiled, "Today I am going to tell you another secret about your daddy."

"Our Daddy?" asked Luke in excitement.

Padme nodded, "Remember back when we were slaves and how I told you that your daddy died?"

"Yes Mommy."

"I was wrong, Daddy is alive and he has been looking for us for a long time."

"He has?" asked Leia.

Padme nodded, "Remember how you told me that you saw Cay being killed by the dark man in your dreams?"

The twins both nodded as Padme spoke, "The Dark Man is your Daddy he was very angry at Cay for hurting us and he tried to get us to come with him on Naboo but I was afraid of him then."

Luke and Leia at this point were listening intently as Padme spoke, "Daddy is coming today and he will be here soon and he loves you very much are you ready to see him?"

The twins nodded eagerly as Padme smiled. At that moment Padme noticed Cade enter the room, "He is here I can sense him."

Padme nodded and headed out to her hanger where Vader would be arriving.

Vader looked anxiously out of the Hanger Bay as Malen landed the ship. He swiftly headed for the boarding ramp as it lowered. He was grateful that he was dressed in only a black tunic and a pair of black pants along with a black robe. At least he looked human in the presence of his innocent children.

He watched as the ramp lowered and walked off eagerly and there right before him stood his angel with, them.

His son was his image standing on her right holding a hand and his daughter on her left holding her hand.

He walked off the ramp as Padme let go of the children and ran for him.

He picked her up and kissed her before setting her down as the children ran for him, "Hello Daddy," They exclaimed.

Vader smiled and scooped them up and kissed each one on the forehead, "Hello Luke and Hello Leia, I have been looking for you for a very long time and I am so happy to finally find you."

The children smiled at their father as Vader walked off with Padme following. "I am so happy to see you both."

Luke smiled, "Daddy do you like to fly?"

"I certainly do."

Leia then spoke, "Can you use the Force like us? Mommy can't but Cade said that she is still special and that Mara's mommy is still special too even though she can't."

Vader smiled, "Yes I can use the Force and I have used it for a very long time."

"Do you make sure that you don't do it in public? So that Bad men don't know?" asked Leia.

Vader nodded, "I do because there are a lot of bad men out there."

HE didn't have the heart to tell his little daughter that he was one of those bad men.

Leia merely nodded as Vader settled in the grass with Padme at his side.

Padme then came forward with a picnic basket, "Serra made us a lunch she decided that we should just be alone for the afternoon."

Vader nodded with a smile as Padme pulled out a sandwich that she offered to him that he eagerly took as she passed out sandwiches to the twins before taking hers.

"I didn't even notice anyone in the Hanger bay was anyone there?"

Padme nodded, "Don't you worry they knew that you would be distracted and Mara has been waiting to see Malen. She really likes him."

Vader smiled, "Good she deserves him."

Padme nodded with a smile.

Cade looked down at the Skywalker family in the meadow in shock as Serra came up to him, "Is there something wrong Cade?"

Cade shook his head, "Nothing but I can sense light coming into him. There is less darkness in him than what I sensed on Naboo."

"What does that mean?" asked Serra.

"That he is coming back to the light very soon. I think that his family are going to heal him overtime. Love has always been the key in redeeming fallen Jedi. If you look at Qel Droma or Reven it was love that brought them back always and history repeats itself as it is doing with Anakin right now."

Serra nodded as she heard her mother speak, "Serra Malen is here with Shmi I want Cade to meet him."

Cade turned to meet the man with a smile, "You are Anakin's uncle correct?"

He asked as he shook Malen's hand.

Malen nodded, "I am."

Cade smiled, "I think you have certainly helped him out in his path to redemption."

Malen smiled, "I owe it to my sister. Meet my daughter Shmi."

Cade nodded sensing Shmi's strong Force presence and looked past her to see Ahsoka Tano, "Ahsoka! So you survived after all?"!

Ahsoka nodded, "Anakin found me on Kashyyyk a few days ago I can sense the good in him too."

Cade nodded, "You, Malen, Shmi Padme and the children are going to be the ones that bring him back in the end. I already can tell."

Ahsoka smiled, "I can't wait to see them."

Cade nodded and turned to Shmi, "Have you had Training yet?"

Shmi nodded, "Anakin has been teaching me and he hasn't taught me how to use the Dark Side either."

Cade nodded, "He is coming back it will just take time I can feel it."

Shmi nodded with a smile.

Malen then spoke, "Mara and I are going to take a walk if you don't mind together alone."

Cade nodded, "Very well I am going to take the girls inside with Serra and show them to their rooms I will show you yours when you return."

Malen nodded, "Sounds good."

Cade then led Serra and Ahsoka towards the House and up the stairs. He showed them to their rooms noticing Han's eyes glued on Ahsoka and her tight pants and bare stomach and back more than he liked to see.

He smiled as he showed each girl to their rooms with Serra who took over as he headed off to find his daughter. Cade found Mara and took her off to play ball in the front yard happily as he watched Mara and Malen walk together hand in hand.

Back in the grass overlooking the lake Padme and Vader had finished their lunch and now began to play with Luke and Leia. The twins soon found that they loved tackling their father which Padme found highly amusing. "They love you Anakin."

Vader nodded, "I know."

Padme smiled and then looked down at her wrist Chrono, "It is almost time for their nap though."

Vader nodded and kissed each child as he led them off towards the house. He entered the large house in shock, "You bought this Padme?"

Padme nodded as 3PO approached them, "Master Ani it is so good to see you again."

"Thank you 3PO."

Padme then carried Leia while Vader carried Luke and the two parents tucked their children into bed before leaving the room. Vader smiled, "This is a beautiful house."

Padme nodded, "I used our hidden funds from Varykino."

"I figured that out."

Padme nodded, "Cade wants to talk to you."

Vader nodded and headed downstairs where he found Cade, Mara, Serra and Malen.

He looked at Mara first, "I want to thank you for everything that you did and went through for my wife during her enslavement."

Mara merely smiled, "My pleasure and I would do it a thousand times over."

Vader nodded sensing her sincerity as he looked over at Serra who he could tell was nervous by his presence.

He was tempted to lash out at Serra for how she treated Padme but sensing her emotions and her intense loyalty to Padme calmed his anger. He then turned to Cade "Thank you for taking care of my family Cade."

Cade merely smiled, "No Problem Anakin."

Vader then looked at Padme whom spoke, "Right before Cade rescued us Cay even offered me millions if I would work as one of his flunkies. He offered me wealth and man he really tried to buy me."

Vader nodded, "He offered me Serra."

Serra looked at Vader in horror as he spoke, "I made him suffer though."

Serra spoke, "What exactly did you do to him?"

Vader frowned, "Are you one for grim details."

"When it is the man that threatened the life of my child yes."

Vader smiled, "I took his slave whip and beat his back, face and chest with it while shooting his open wounds with Force Lightning. In some places bone was showing. Then I broke his neck with my bare hand."

Serra nodded, "He deserved it."

"He certainly did."

Mara frowned, "You can read thoughts so you know about everything that he did to me don't you?"

Vader nodded, "I won't tell anyone don't worry."

Mara nodded as she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder, realizing that it was Malen's hand.

Vader then turned to Cade, "Shall we?"

Cade nodded and followed the Dark Lord out the door. At the same time Padme saw Ahsoka and Shmi enter the room. She eagerly ran to Ahsoka and hugged her before hugging Shmi.

"Ahsoka I am so glad that he didn't kill you."

Ahsoka smiled, "He still is Anakin and together we can save him. I took a look at the children Padme and by Force they are beautiful."

Padme smiled, "Thank you and remember that you are their Aunt now too.

"Me?" asked Ahsoka.

"Yes and I can think of no better title Aunt Ahsoka so get used to it."

Ahsoka smiled at Padme feeling grateful that Padme had always liked her.

Vader and Cade walked together in silence for a few moments before Cade spoke, "Anakin I have as you know protected them quite a bit in the last few months."

Vader nodded, "I know that Cade and you have risked your life."

Cade nodded, "When I started this crusade I already knew that it would cost me my life and I already know that I don't have long to live but it is my destiny Anakin."

Vader frowned as Cade spoke, "I already know one thing after today."

"What is that?" asked Vader.

"I will not die by your hand and you will soon be brought back to the light."

"It is to late for me Cade."

"It is never to late Anakin. It wasn't to late for Reven or for Qel Droma."

Vader frowned, "I was never that good at History."

"Love is bringing you back to the light. In time you will see that I am right."

Vader was in shock at Cade's faith in him. "I have a lot of faith in you Anakin just remember that."

Vader nodded, "It means a lot to me Cade. I must say that I wish to have seen Kenobi's face when you yelled at him."

Cade nodded, "He was fairly stunned I should say."

Vader smiled, "I am eternally grateful for all that you have done for my family."

Cade nodded, "Now lets head back they are waiting for us."

Vader nodded with a smile at Cade at the same time Cade spoke, "In the event that something happens to me Padme will seek you out."

Vader nodded, "I know she will. I don't want to force her to come back to the Exactor I want our relationship to mend and that is my main focus before I tell her that she haves to live with me."

Cade nodded, "You truly love her that is what you are proving based on your actions."

Vader nodded with a smile at Cade.

The two men then entered the house and found Padme and Serra talking with Malen about his life as a bounty hunter. Both of them taking an interest in the different stories that he shared.

On the other side of the house Mara sat alone with Shmi as she spoke, "Shmi I can imagine that it has been hard having no mother."

Shmi nodded as Mara spoke, "I want you to know that I do like your dad but I am not gong to try to shun you. If things work out between me and your dad in the long run I would like to become a mother to you."

Shmi looked at Mara in shock ,"You mean that you want me?"

Mara nodded, "You get the entire package when you fall in love with someone that already has a child Shmi. You don't get to just take the person and forget about the child. It will also mean that Serra will be your sister and Han will become your brother."

Shmi smiled, "I would like that I like Han and I think I like Serra I just want to get to know her."

Mara nodded, "You will we have a week or so together will spend a lot of time together."

Shmi nodded eagerly.

That evening Serra prepared a large dinner for everyone with the help of 3PO and served everyone. At one point when Serra left the room Vader looked at Padme in shock and whispered, "She is so submissive," he whispered.

Padme nodded, "I know it sometimes sickens me it is like she has known nothing else."

Vader nodded as Serra reentered the room and sat down to eat.

The group ate and Vader spoke, "This was really good Serra."

Malen, Shmi and Ahsoka nodded in agreement as Serra spoke, "Thank you Padme taught me well."

Vader nodded as Padme stood up. Serra smiled, "I will put the twins to bed you two go off."

Padme shook her head, "We can take care of them Serra."

Serra nodded as Padme led Luke and Leia out of the dinning room with Vader at her side.

After playing with the twins and reading them a story Padme and Vader tucked the children into bed with kisses before leaving and swiftly heading to their bedroom.

Ok that is it for now. I made sure that this update would have something important such as Vader meeting the twins because tomorrow I am going to focus on updating Son of Destiny. I hope that you enjoyed this Chapter thank you for reading. I will have more up soon I promise.
