DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS!

Ok thank you again everyone for all of your reviews I am going to spoil you with another update. It is shorter but I am certain that you will enjoy it. Thank you for reading

Vader opened his eyes the next morning and looked down at Padme whom he was spooned up against after a night of love. He watched as she opened her eyes. She looked at him and then at the windows. "Oh thank the Force that we were awake on time."

"What do you mean?" asked Vader.

"Luke and Leia like to come in here the moment that they wake up. We better make sure that we have something on I would rather that they not see us like this."

Vader nodded and summoned Padme's nightgown and his pants to his hand from the floor and within seconds after dressing under their blankets the doors opened revealing twins who ran to the couple eagerly, "Mommy! Daddy!"

Vader smiled at his wife as the twins came bouncing onto their bed. They took the twins and kissed them each on the forehead before crawling out of bed.

Vader smiled at Padme, "I can take them downstairs if you want while you dress."

Padme smiled but at the same time Serra appeared in the doorway with a large trey of food followed by 3PO whom had a small portable table.

"I have breakfast for all four of you I thought that you could eat alone."

Padme looked at Serra in shock, "Are you sure Serra?"

Serra nodded, "Go ahead and eat I cooked plenty."

Padme smiled, "Thank you Serra."

Serra nodded and left her shortly after helping 3PO set up the breakfast on the small portable table that he had carried up.

Serra then left the room without a word.

Vader looked at his wife in shock, "She is very submissive."

Padme nodded, "Every since the day that she pledged herself to me she has been. She takes orders without questioning and things like this she just does. She seems to know what is good for me. She usually takes the twins for me in the morning after they come see me so I can get dressed and puts them with 3PO while she helps me with my hair if I need it up or in a style."

Vader nodded, "Is it me or is that dress that she is wearing yours?"

"Its mine, I share with her. She is my exact size exactly so it is easy to share. Even during my enslavement on days that Cay wasn't around she would take me and the twins swimming with her and she would give me her swimsuit."

Vader nodded as he ate, "This is good it tastes almost like your cooking."

"I know I taught her how to cook and she follows me and Mara in terms of how she does things."

Vader nodded, "I wonder if she likes serving you."

Padme smiled, "Sometimes I wonder. I know that she had the attitude that she deserved it when it happened."

Vader nodded as he ate. Padme smiled at the twins as they ate. Vader then spoke, "If this Cay was so cruel how did you keep them from being underfed?"

"Mara, She would always take the blame for the portions that I gave them. She was the same way with Han. One time Cay had just slapped Leia for taking bread off of some expensive platter and He was going to whip her when Serra told him that she told Leia to eat it."

"What was his reaction?"

"He slapped her and she bruised?"

"I saw that memory in his mind I saw every wicked thing that he did."

Padme cringed, "He really wanted me to stoop down low to be with him. I think though that once little Mara came into the picture that he was just hoping to bribe me into helping him kill her."

Vader shook his head in disgust, "He wanted Serra to marry that Palo Reliaz."

Padme shook her head in disgust, "Palo is a scum bag. The man was evil to do such a thing to his daughter."

Vader nodded, "I think after seeing what he did to his own wife is what set me off."

Padme nodded, "Mara is a wonderful woman."

Vader nodded as he looked down at Luke and Leia with a smile as they finished their breakfast.

Padme smiled at her husband as he finished his breakfast. At that moment she looked to see 3PO enter the door and collect the dishes. At the same time she saw Serra enter the room, "Luke, Leia come on lets get you two dressed."

Luke and Leia obediently got up and ran towards Serra.

Padme then smiled at Vader, "The same thing is for us now."

Vader nodded in agreement.

After dressing the twins Serra led them downstairs where Ahsoka was with little Mara and Cade. She smiled, "Where is my mother?"

"She went on a walk with Malen, Shmi and Han," replied Ahsoka.

Serra nodded with a smile as Ahsoka looked at the twins, "Do you two want to come play with Auntie Ahsoka?"

Luke and Leia nodded eagerly as Ahsoka took the twins to the playroom followed by little Mara.

Malen walked with Han, Shmi and Mara as the group enjoyed time together. He noticed Han and Shmi disappear out of sight and glanced at Mara, "It is just us."

Mara smiled, "I don't mind."

She then moved forward and kissed him.

Malen smiled as Mara spoke, "You know you and I have a lot in common. We both lost a son. We both were slaves. YOu literally me I would say though not legally that is what I was to my husband."

Malen nodded, "I agree with you and another thing is we find ourselves attached to boys that we claim as our own. For you it is Han and for me Anakin."

Mara smiled, "Han seems to have grown on you too."

Malen smiled, "I love him like my own already and he is a fine boy."

Mara nodded, "I noticed that he took an interest in that Togruta girl yesterday."

Malen shook his head, "He is fourteen any fourteen year old boy will find himself attracted to a Togruta beauty. Though I can say that it leads to a lot that we don' t want to discuss."

Mara nodded in agreement, "We will just have to make sure that he stays under control because he went out partying the day that Padme and I left him here with Cade one night. He was filled with so much regret."

"Tell me."

At that moment A flashback came to mind in Mara's mind.

She walks into Han's bedroom.

Han is laying on his bed facedown as she comes to his side. To her he has been a stranger for weeks now ever since the day that she had adopted him legally

"Han what is it?" she asks uneasily.

"Mom I am so sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to be your son," Han replies in tears.

Mara frowns wondering if he didn't want her as his mother.

"I-I am disgusting mom."

"What is wrong Han? Tell me," Mara is in shock wondering what would happen to her boy that would make him like this.

"You won't love me if I tell you."

"I will always love you no matter what."

"Why did my real mom get rid of me then?"

"Han some parents don't care for their children. Other's are not meant to be parents. But I care for you Han."

Han turned around looking at his mother in tears. She had never in all the years that she had been around him seen him so emotional. He then broke down in front of her as he told her of his night at the party the night before in town. The drinks he had had and the girl that had pulled him into a room alone and all that had transpired with her and how filthy he felt from it.

In the End Mara kissed her son and told him that she would always love him and to always come to her to share such a thing and that he wasn't disgusting. That he was loved.

Mara felt tears sting her eyes as the flashback ended, "He drank a bunch and he lost his innocence to some girl. For like six weeks until I found out he seemed like he was becoming more and more of a stranger. He was heartbroken Malen. He shared it with me after the adoption papers were signed because he was afraid that I wouldn't want him after knowing about it."

Malen frowned, "How did it make you feel?"

"It made me want to beat up the girl whoever she was and it made me feel like I was a horrible mother because I was getting medical treatment instead of protecting him."

Malen shook his head, "I had a similar incident right after I gained my freedom that left me in the same rut. That kind of regret doesn't go away easily either."

Mara nodded as she looked ahead to where Han and Shmi were standing at the bank of a nearby stream. "This is a nice trail."

Mara nodded, "Part of why Padme bought this place."

Malen smiled, "She certainly has good taste in choosing homes."

Alderaan:

Bail Organa looked at Obi-Wan in anger, "And you mean to tell me that you and Yoda considered taking these children after all that this poor woman has gone through after all of this by Force? What would you have killed her?"

Obi-Wan frowned, "Please Senator listen to what happened first."

Bail scowled, "I am a father Kenobi. I adopted a daughter a few years ago and Breha and I love her like our own just as Padme loves her children. You are not a parent and you have no idea of what you are doing to this woman and if you were maybe you would know."

Obi-Wan frowned as Bail continued, "Not even Yoda would understand, Hell as old as he is his parts probably don't work anyways and I wonder if he is getting senile or if he is to emotionless."

Obi-Wan did his best not to laugh at Organa's lewd statement as he spoke, "Senator We couldn't go through because of Qui-Gon however Yoda is convicted that she was off planet visiting Vader. Therefore he believes that regardless of what Qui-Gon demands that we should go and take the children."

Bail shook his head, "Tell him that I will have no part of it nor will I provide you with the men to do it. Maybe her love will bring Vader out of his dark pit. Maybe seeing the son and daughter that he created with her will change him."

Obi-Wan frowned as Bail's words hit him, "Are you saying that we should wait and see?"

Bail nodded, "If for some reason I am wrong and it costs Padme her life than I will assume full responsibility and take part in taking the children from him."

Obi-Wan nodded finding that he was more at peace with listening to Bail and to Qui-Gon than he was with listening to Yoda.

Bail then spoke, "Yoda is still a Great Jedi Obi-Wan. However even the greatest sometimes make mistakes. Even Yoda can't be perfect. Remember that."

Obi-Wan nodded, "I will remain with you Senator until I feel a need to leave."

Bail nodded, "Stay at that cottage of mine in the mountains no one will find you there."

Obi-Wan nodded and bowed politely.

Dantoooine:

Vader and Padme emerged from their bedroom an hour before Noon and came downstairs looking for their children. They headed for their playroom and found the twins with Ahsoka and little Mara playing and coloring.

Ahoska looked at Vader with a smile, "They love Auntie Ahsoka."

Anakin smiled, "I like that name."

Ahsoka nodded, "I do too. I hope that one day I will get to train one of them."

Vader smiled, "Perhaps you will."

Ahsoka nodded, "I feel a tugging towards Leia for some reason through the Force."

Vader smiled, "That is the calling that I have been told that you hear when they are meant for you from what I was told growing up by all the great Masters."

Ahsoka nodded as Vader bent over and picked up Luke, "Luke looks just like me and Leia just like you."

Padme nodded, "It is funny how we were both right. You knew that we were having Leia and I knew that we were having Luke."

Vader nodded with a smile, "I know what you mean."

Vader then walked with Padme into the dinning room where He saw Malen enter with Mara, Han and Shmi. At the same time Cade, Chewie and Serra appeared in the doorway and Vader saw 3PO walk in with a large pot of stew.

He smiled at Padme and then the couple sat down with their family and friends as they ate lunch together.

Vader at the same time noticed how Malen and Mara were sitting together hand in hand.

It was obvious that the couple were falling more and more in love. He looked back at Padme and smiled as Han spoke, "Chewie and I decided to team up with Ahsoka and Shmi tomorrow so that all of you couples can go out on a picnic or something together. You know a date."

Vader smiled, "From what I hear you get that job a lot. Instead How about you and Chewie go into town and enjoy yourselves? Ahsoka can watch them just fine with the help of 3PO and Shmi."

Ahsoka and Shmi looked at Vader in shock, "You trust us that much?"

Vader nodded with a smile, "As long as Padme and Serra approve I do too and Cade for that matter.

After eating Vader helped Padme put the twins down for a nap before deciding to go out to the Hanger to see if there was any work to do.

After looking around he found a disassembled Generator that he got to work on as Han entered the room. Han smiled, "You certainly are good."

Vader nodded, "This is the secondary Shield Generator that you are modifying."

Han nodded, "Yeah I figured that it wouldn't hurt. You don't mind do you?"

Vader shook his head, "These modifications are Genius Solo. The Imperial Navy would love to have you. You are fairly skilled in what you do."

Han smiled, "Thank you Sir."

Vader nodded, "What else are you good at?"

"I am a pretty good Pilot. I mean Padme has had me pilot the Amidala and I drive our speeders all of the time."

"And your skills with a blaster?"

"I don't miss," replied Han with a cocky smirk.

Vader nodded, "You are a good fighter altogether. I am glad that my wife found you."

Han nodded, "I am glad that I was able to protect her and at the same time have her protect me."

Vader nodded, "You got a pretty bad infection from Cay's beatings being left untreated as I recall."

Han nodded, "I would do it again."

Vader nodded, "I know you would you are turning into a good Man Solo."

Han smiled under Vader's praise as Vader continued to work on the engine.

A long time later Vader noticed Cade enter the Hanger, "Anakin would you like to Spar?"

Vader smiled, "That sounds good I just finished up touching up Solo's handiwork here and I would love a good duel."

Cade nodded and pulled out a pair of training lightsabers. "I made these for the day that I start training the twins and for a few droids to use."

Vader nodded and activated one blade as Cade activated his. Together the two men engaged in a duel. Vader found himself shocked at the skill that Cade possessed. Cade certainly had always been a great fighter but he was proving to be the most difficult opponent that Vader had faced since Obi-Wan.

Vader smiled, "So Padme told me that you all but told Obi-Wan that you would fight him if you had to."

"I told him that to take your children that he would have to get through me."

Vader smiled, "I am guessing that he was stunned."

Cade smiled as he parried one of Vader's slashes and nodded, "He was but I would fight him if it came to choosing between him and the people here I would choose to stand on the side of everyone that is inside of that house because they are my family."

Vader smiled, "The same for me. I am just thankful that Padme is giving me another chance."

Cade nodded with a smile, "I am too it is going to save you Anakin you just watch."

Vader nodded in silence as he continued to duel with Cade.

Cade smiled as the two continued to fight. They dueled on and on.

In the end it was four hours before Vader finally disarmed Cade and He barely won the duel. Cade smiled at Vader, "No one can take you Anakin. You will soon be ready to take the Emperor."

Vader smiled, "If he didn't fight dirty you would be able to take him. When we go I am hoping to have you Shmi, And Ahsoka in the force that faces him."

Cade nodded with a fake smile though he doubted that he would be alive to be in the final battle with Palpatine.

Cade still smiled sincerely after a moment, Either way he had lived to see the imminent doom of the Sith, His daughter's future husband and his daughter's first years of life. How the Force had blessed him.

Vader and Cade entered the house together side by side and sat down to eat.

At the dinner table Malen and Shmi shared with everyone how much they had enjoyed the walk, "You will have to go with us tomorrow Anakin when we go on that picnic that is where we should go."

Vader nodded with a smile, "That sounds good I like that idea."

Malen nodded as he took another bite of his dinner. Mara smiled, "I am glad that I was able to cook tonight."

Malen nodded, "It is really good, thank you Mara."

Mara nodded with a smile, "Back on Praesitlyn the only way that I was able to cook was if Cay was gone. Because he was so egocentric that he insisted that he wanted slaves to do all of the work."

Malen frowned, "Sounds like he was very controlling."

Mara nodded, "He was. I would always have Padme sleep in when he was gone and spend the days playing with the twins and nothing else."

"The times that we went on picnics together were the best or to the park," stated Padme.

Mara nodded, "We did manage to have some fun together that is for certain."

Padme smiled, "I am glad that I was able to get you treated because I didn't get us all free only for you to die. I want you to enjoy the life that you deserve for protecting me and my babies like you did Mara I am eternally grateful to you."

Mara looked at Padme in near tears at the statement as it penetrated her heart. She realized then how much she meant to Padme. Padme certainly cared for her and Serra, she realized with a smile.

Vader smiled as he noticed Han and Chewbacca get up to leave the table after they were out of earshot he spoke, "That Wookiee certainly does love that boy doesn't he?"

Mara nodded with a smile, "I am glad he keeps him in line more and more now."

Vader nodded in silence.

After eating Padme and Vader bathed the twins together before reading them a story and putting them to bed. Padme then smiled at Vader seductively, "It is just us now."

Vader nodded and picked her up and kissed her, "I love you so much my angel."

Padme smiled as the couple made their way to their elaborate bedroom.

Ok There you are thank you so much for reading and reviewing the reviews really motivate me. More will be up soon.
