Here is a nice and long update for the weekend for you. You guys have been awesome. Thank you for reading.

Dantooine: One Month Later:

Padme emerged from the refresher after throwing up once but decided not to say anything though she guessed what was wrong with her.

She headed downstairs and noticed that Cade was playing with his daughter as Serra served breakfast. She smiled at Serra, "Thank You Serra."

Serra smiled as she sat down, Padme then spoke, "I want you and Cade to take Mara just by yourselves and go on a picnic today."

Serra frowned, "Padme I am your slave not your handmaiden."

Padme shook her head, "I don't care your mom gave me days off when your father wasn't around and you are a Mother which is more important than the fact that your life is bound in servitude to me. I want you and Cade to enjoy one another and do all of the things with Mara that a Normal family do."

"We already have gone out with her twice this week."

"Than make it three times and that is an order as your Mistress."

Serra nodded obediently. Padme smiled, "One thing for certain is that you don't ever question my orders and that is my last resort that works every time."

Serra nodded, "According to the law I am bound to you as your slave and I must obey and serve you at all times and take all of your orders without questioning even if they taint my own honor and or endanger my life."

Padme frowned, "I don't like any of it but I won't condemn you and that sweet little Mara either."

Serra nodded as Padme took a bite of her breakfast, "Oh an another thing you don't have to always thank me."

Padme shook her head, "I still will thank you because I see you as a human being."

Serra nodded and spoke, "I remember once hearing a story about you many years ago before I bought you in regards to that."

"Lets hear it and I can confirm or deny it."

Serra nodded with a smile, "You had a handmaiden supposedly that angered some friend of yours and this friend was like a dignitary and they raised their hand to the handmaiden. In response you kicked the dignitary out of your apartment and terminated all personal ties with whoever it was."

Padme nodded, "I remember that all to well."

"So it is true?"

Padme nodded, "Dorme and all of the other Handmaidens were my friends not just servants and I made sure that they knew it and when he hit Dorme I was furious."

Serra nodded, "You always treat me like that too from what I've noticed."

Padme nodded, "You still are a little different, I mean the fact that they had the freedom to come and leave but you don't."

Serra nodded as she looked at Cade who sat Mara down on his lap as they ate.

Padme smiled, "Cade is such a wonderful father."

Serra nodded, "He is and I am glad that Anakin didn't try to kill him."

Padme nodded, "I am glad that He talked to Organa. It is nice to know that I can trust him again."

Serra nodded as Cade spoke, "Have you told him about that baby yet?"

Padme looked down at her stomach and then at him in shock as he spoke, "I can feel its presence."

"You can?"

Cade nodded, "The baby is going to have power that will be greater than the twins and Mara I can feel it."

Padme gasped in shock as she looked down at her stomach, "Did you hear that? Uncle Cade says that you are going to be a great Jedi. Maybe he will train you."

Noticing that no one was looking Cade merely shook his head. He could feel his time approaching and he didn't have the heart to tell anyone.

As Serra cleared away the dishes Cade looked at Padme with a frown as he pulled out a Data chip, "I want this to be played in the event of my death."

Padme frowned, "Your death?"

Cade nodded, "Don't tell anyone."

Padme nodded, "As you wish I will place it in R2."

Cade nodded as Padme watched uneasily as he left the table.

She looked at Luke and Leia as they approached her, "Mommy we are going to go out into the Hanger with Han and Chewie."

Padme nodded with a smile, "Ok be good and listen to them."

"Ok Mommy, "What are you going to do?"

"Just sit back with Aunt Mara and watch the Holonet."

"Ok Mommy."

The twins then went bounding off towards the door where Han and Chewie were waiting as Padme left them and headed into the living room.

She smiled and sat down on the couch as the Holoscreen turned on.

She looked over at Mara, "I sure do enjoy being a mother but after this next one I think I am going to call it good."

Mara smiled, "I was wondering when you were going to tell me."

"You don't seem surprised."

"With all that you and Anakin were doing how could I be?"

"Mara!"

Mara smiled at her simply, "It isn't just that I know a woman's behavior when she is pregnant I have seen it a lot in my life time. Especially with all of the slave girls that Cay was with."

"You mean that he got them pregnant?"

Mara nodded, "Part of why I didn't have enough Money when he first bought you. Over the years I used a lot of money to double their funds to free them before he knew that they were having his baby. He probably had six kids at least that he never knew about from over the years."

Padme frowned, "If he had gotten me I-I..."

"Would be in that boat too but it didn't happen fortunately."

Padme nodded as she looked down at her stomach then at her friend in gratitude for all that she had done for her.

Mara smiled at Padme and hugged her.

Serra meanwhile sat with Cade at their picnic noticing that Mara was asleep, "Cade you haven't been yourself for a month and I am begging you to tell me what is wrong."

Cade frowned, "I love you Serra more than anything and I love our child."

Serra nodded as Cade spoke, "I feel like my time is going to be soon."

Y-You mean that you think that you are going to die?"

Cade nodded in silence, "I hate to tell you this but it is the way that the Force is planning things I believe."

Serra looked at her husband in tears, "Please don't die on me."

Cade frowned, "I will see what the Force has planned just know that I will always be with you."

Serra nodded as her husband kissed her.

Naboo:

Emperor Palpatine watched as the boot licking Palo Reliaz the third continued to boast of how he enjoyed painting the piece of art that he had presented to him.

Palo then ended his little talk about the piece of art that he absolutely only bought for display that he really cared nothing for with something that surpised him, "I also have a proposition for you your Majesty."

Palpatine frowned, "A proposition?"

Palo nodded, "Are you aware that Senator Amidala is alive?"

Palpatine frowned deciding to play ignorant, "How would you know that she is alive? She is dead."

Palo shook his head, "I know a pirate that sold her and her brats into slavery a few years ago."

Palpatine's immediately caught a line of interest, "Brats you say?"

Palo nodded, "I am guessing that the father is Skywalker."

Palpatine nodded, "Go on Reliaz."

"In return for disclosing her location..."

"You want her I already know that you do just by looking at your thoughts."

Palo nodded, "Yes do what you will with the brats but let me have her."

Palpatine frowned, "If I agree no one can no that she is alive or that you have her ever."

Palo smiled, "I have wealth not to worry and she is an escaped slave from a man that I inherited her from. I will just reactivate her transmitter and keep her in my bedroom which is where we will mainly be when we are together."

Palpatine smiled, "Very well it is a deal. Now as for the location?"

"Dantooine she is on Dantooine. The man that I talked to was the man that kidnapped her and sold her into slavery originally. In return for his information I have paid him and he is sworn to secrecy."

Palpatine smiled, "Very well Reliaz I will be off to Dantooine when I return I will be presenting you with your gift."

Palpatine then left the room with a laughing cackle. He would soon have Vader's offspring and he would have Padme Amidala out of his hair forever. A life of slavery for her was better than death in his mind. He smiled, he couldn't wait to gift that Meddlesome woman to Reliaz and tell her that her children were the future of the Sith Order and that her days would be spent as the forced wife of Reliaz. He would have no more use for Vader he would kill Vader train these Force Sensitive Twins and which ever one killed the Other would be his new apprentice all while Padme lived out her days with slimy Reliaz whom would have her as his trophy and to bear his children.

Palpatine looked at the Datapad that Relaiz had left for him and then at his aide. "I want a squad of Stormtroopers to head to this town and the four Inquisitors that are in the neighboring sector to abort their mission and meet me there. Have the Squadron Commander search for her and then we will go to her house after they inform us. I want them to keep it quiet. Tell them to stay in the shuttle until they know where to go. We have to catch them by surprise there will be Jedi guarding her."

The aide nodded with a bow.

Star Destroyer Exactor:

Vader stood on the Command Bridge as Veers ran up to him.

"My Lord I have something to report."

"Go ahead Veers."

"My cousin is one of the Emperor's pilots and they are en route to apprehend Amidala on Dantooine. He is loyal to us that is why he told us."

Vader quickly looked at Veers, "You are in Command!"

Padme! The Twins! he thought in horror.

Vader than stormed towards his chambers where Malen, Shmi and Ahsoka were gathered, "Hurry the Emperor knows about them We got to go your ship Uncle!"

Malen wordlessly grabbed his utility belt and blaster as the girls came running out of the chambers with him. The group boarded Malen's cruiser and headed for Dantooine.

After Jumping into Hyperspace Vader frowned, "I hope that they are alright."

Malen nodded, "Did you contact them?"

Vader shook his head, "According to the Report they headed there several hours ago. I only hope that we are ahead of them since I don't know their location."

Ahsoka looked grimly at Vader, "They are leaving from Naboo and with us being further out we will be later than them."

Vader frowned, "I can only hope that Cade will protect them."

Malen looked at Vader and spoke, "There is no way in hell that he won't I only hope that we can save his life."

Vader nodded in silence.

Dantooine: One Day Later:

Padme had just finished her lunch as she noticed Cade playing with Mara and the twins. She sat down to drink tea with Serra and Mara as

Cade, Han and Chewie tended to the children.

Padme frowned, There was something not right about today.

She looked over at Cade noticing that he was wearing his old cleaned Jedi Robes. That is odd, he never wears them, She thought uneasily.

Cade got up as he felt a dark tremor through the Force. Now he realized what it was. What he had felt the day he had woke up had just followed the tremor. His Destiny was going to be complete today. Because he was going to die today.

He wordlessly drank his tea as he realized that The Dark presence that he felt was not Vader he could tell. This was much more sinister and grim. Like one who had lived their entire life in darkness. Like Darth Sidious.

At the same time he heard the doorbell ring. He opened it to see Myrana staring at him breathing hard as Padme came up behind him.

"C-Cade there are Imperials in town They are here for you Garren didn't want to risk them intercepting a transmission so he sent me."

Cade nodded as he felt a shiver and looked down the road. At the same time he turned to see Padme gathering up the children and alerting everyone. He then turned back to Myrana. "Get out of Sight Myrana after they are gone leave don't let them see you."

Myrana nodded as Cade ran for Padme and the others, "No weapons we can't fight them Palpatine is here."

"Are you sure?" asked Padme in horror.

Cade nodded, "Get everyone to the Ship. Chewie get the ship started up."

Cade then turned to Han, "Walk with me."

Han followed the Jedi Knight towards the front of the house as he spoke, "I am going to buy you just enough time to get them off planet."

"We have firepower..."

"Guns and Grenades are no match for the Dark Lord of the Sith. Take the Amidala and get everyone off of this Planet. Then Contact Vader and head for the Exactor."

Han frowned, "And you?"

"Their lives are now in your hands Solo," Stated Cade grimily

Cade then turned and motioned for Han to follow him into the house. He looked back to see of Squadron of Stormtroopers at the front gates of the house. He looked to see that everyone was ready and began to herd everyone out the back door of the house and towards the hanger. He looked at Padme who was holding her utility belt. He took her belt and removed the two grenades from it. He then took one from Serra's belt and then gave the two women back their belts after snapping each grenade onto his belt.

Cade Paused at the Hanger door and looked behind him to see the swarm of Stormtroopers approaching. He then turned to little Mara.

"Mara whatever happens remember that Daddy will always love you and that I will be with you."

He then kissed his three year old daughter before looking at Luke, "Take care of my little girl and become a great Jedi."

He then looked at Serra and kissed her passionately as he embraced her.

"I am Sorry Serra but there is no other way."

"What do you mean?"

"I have to hold them off get our daughter onto the ship. Stay with Padme and the others."

Serra felt tears in her eyes as Cade turned to his mother in law. "Get her onboard."

Mara and Han obeyed and put their arms around Serra. Cade looked at little Mara one last time, "I love you Mara."

Mara realized in horror that something horrible was about to happen and spoke in tears, "I-I love you too Daddy. I am sorry that I lied yesterday."

Cade smiled, "I love you don't worry about yesterday just make me proud."

Cade noticed that Padme and Serra were about to come after him. With a touch of the FOrce he closed the Hanger door and used the force to cause the Controls to short out.

He then activated a concussion grenade and threw it into a crevice by the natural rock that was around the hidden Hanger door. He laid A second grenade a distance away and then moved away. He knew that the explosion would block the door and keep anyone from going in and out without great difficulty.

Cade then turned towards the Squad of Clones that were now beginning to fire upon him and activated his lightsaber for what he knew was going to be the last time. He let all of his love for Serra, Mara, Padme the twins and Anakin as well as Han and Chewie flow through him. He was going to give his life today for his family. He had adopted everyone apart from Serra and Mara into his family and he could think of no better way to die.

He Then walked out of the secret doorway and into the open and began to effortlessly cut down the Stormtroopers as he heard an explosion behind him. He knew that the Hanger was now sealed.

This was his last fight and he was going to make sure that he took as many down with him as Possible while everyone got onboard of the ship

Mara and Han brought Chewie off of the ship and immediately Chewie took Serra in his arms and carried her onboard while Mara and Han carried Padme.

"He can't die for me."

Mara then spoke, "Padme you are the leader of this group. Everyone here looks to you. If you are incompetent then his sacrifice will be in vain if you were him would you be any different? He has a wife and child. You have two children here and one on the way. Focus on them."

Padme in tears nodded and relented as she looked over at Luke and Leia. Without looking back she ran aboard the ship with the twins behind her as Han ran for the cockpit. "Chewie lets get this thing started up."

"Don't open the hanger doors until we are ready," Chewie roared

"I know Pal No doubt they are waiting. I will activate the surprises that Cade prepared."

Chewie nodded in response with a smile.

Cade had just killed the last of the Clones and their Commander when he looked to see four men in black robes. He realized that they were inquisitors, the Emperor's force sensitive agents who often assisted in hunting Jedi.

Cade smiled, "You are ready for your last fight?"

The Agents smiled arrogantly and activated their red lightsabers. Cade smiled and Force jumped in the air and landed behind the four agents. He beheaded two of them and then he wasted no time in engaging the other two. He summoned one of the fallen lightsabers to his hand and threw it and to his delight it impaled one of the Inquisitors the last inquisitor prepared to fight and Cade smiled at him as he moved in and brought his lightsaber in a low arc slice that came below his arms and sliced his torso in half.

Cade then turned to see The Emperor himself and around a dozen royal guards.

"Cade Jade I knew that there would be a Jedi here but this is most certainly unexpected."

Cade smiled, "Your petty Guards will be no match for me Sidious."

"We will see," replied Palpatine with a smile.

Cade smiled and retreated into a small space that was in the rock by what was once the Hanger door.

As the Guards charged him he threw one of his Concussion Grenades and took cover as he heard an explosion he then came charging out of the space satisfied to see that he had killed four guards.

Cade then Summoned all of the Force power that he had in his living being and Sent a Powerful Force push that knocked Six more Guards down and then cut down four more guards that stood between him and Sidious before advancing upon the Sith Master.

Palpatine frowned and activated his Lightsaber and prepared to fight against the young Jedi Knight. Cade brought his lightsaber in a powerful slash that forced the Emperor to back peddle. "I had you off of Coruscant because I knew that I would have a hard time fighting you even back then."

Cade grinned, "I am surprised that you beat Master Windu. Or did you really lose? That is right you fight dirty don't you."

Palpatine in anger pushed forward against Cade's blade.

Cade at the same time sensed a warning through the Force and Force Flipped away from Sidious and landed behind the six recovered Royal Guards. He attacked all six of them and cut them down instantly.

At the same time he heard an explosion on the other side of the hidden hanger.

"Hear that old man? I anticipated you having a force outside of the Hanger doors so I hid some mines and charges. My guess is that the boy activated the buttons."

Palpatine glared at Cade in rage. At the same time he heard the sound of a Starship.

He looked in rage to see a Royal Nabuian Cruiser leaving the hanger bay.

Cade then smiled, "They will never be yours now."

Palpatine in rage charged forward at Cade as Cade made a stab at the Emperor's ribcage that hit him.

Palpatine screamed in pain and dropped his lightsaber as Cade kicked him in the face.

Cade then advanced upon the injured Emperor as he raised his hands and sent a powerful wave of Force lighting at Cade.

Cade held up his lightsaber to deflect but the wave was to powerful. Eventually the Lightsaber was sent flying from his hands as the lighting consumed him. At the same time Palpatine fell to his knees. Cade looked to see one Royal Guard in torn up Robes running towards the Emperor as the Emperor slowly stopped his assault.

He watched as the guard ran to Palpatine's side.

Palpatine glared at Cade hatefully. But Cade could tell that he was to weak to finish him. "Your Majesty! I am the only one left. Are you alright?"

"Kill him and get me taken care of before I bleed to death."

The guard moved forward but Cade used the Force to call back his lightsaber and he drove it into the guard. He then moved for Palpatine but Palpatine had used the guard as a shield and had recovered the lightsaber from one of the fallen inquisitors. He drove the blade into Cade and then got up with what little strength that he had left and ran from the carnage.

Cade then watched as the injured Emperor hobbled towards a speeder and drove away.

Cade then breathed in and out knowing that his death was imminent and that these were among his last breaths.

Space Above Dantooine:

Vader came out of Hyperspace and looked at Malen, "I can sense a lot going on down there land us as close to the house as possible."

Vader at the same time noticed the Emperor's shuttle leaving the Planet. He reached out through the force, "He doesn't have them and I only sense Cade on the planet lets go find him he can tell us what happened."

Malen nodded as he expertly drove the ship towards the surface of Dantooine.

Dantooine:

Myrana ran through the Carnage in horror. So this is what Cade had hidden from her, He is a Jedi, she thought as she ran.

She ran and found Cade laying amongst the torn corpses of Royal Guards and Imperial Stormtroopers. She noticed several corpses of men in black robes and noticed Lightsabers all around her as well as severed heads and severed limbs.

She knelt down beside Cade as he opened his eyes, "Myrana is Padme gone?"

Myrana nodded, "I saw the Emperor's shuttle leave right after. He was severely injured."

Cade smiled and at the same time Myrana noticed the shadow of a ship above her.

Cade then spoke, "We never told you because we didn't want to endanger you. Don't tell anyone or your people will only suffer for it."

Myrana frowned and at the same time noticed who came down the boarding ramp on the ship that had just landed in the meadow by the lawn. "V-Vader is here."

"Its ok he is a friend."

"A friend?"

"Luke and Leia are his children."

"What?"

Cade nodded and Myrana watched as Vader ran through the Carnage before kneeling down beside Cade. "Are they away? Did he get them?"

Cade shook his head, "I told Han to take them to you Anakin."

Myrana was in shock as she watched Vader remove his helmet. Indeed Anakin Skywalker was the man underneath the mask that had struck so much fear into the galaxy in the last five years.

Vader looked down at Cade in horror.

Cade smiled, "I am fine. I lived to see them escape. I got to kiss my beautiful wife and daughter goodbye."

Vader frowned as he moved towards Cade's wound.

"Leave it."

Vader nodded as Cade spoke, "Just become Anakin again. It is not to late. Don't let the darkness taint your children or my child. Just become who you were meant to be in the beginning. Your power as Vader didn't save your wife it only took her from you. Turn back Anakin."

Vader looked at Cade, "I will do my best to change into the man that they need and I swear to you that your daughter will be taken care of and your sacrifice won't be in vain."

Cade smiled and reached out his hand to Vader. Vader took his hand as Cade spoke, "I would have followed you my brother to the end. To Coruscant. To the Destruction of Palpatine but My place was here. My life for their lives. The Emperor won't pursue them he is to weak from my attack."

Cade then breathed in deep, "According to my visions Luke will be even greater than you. He will become one of the Greatest Jedi Masters to ever live. It is my honor to sacrifice my life in place of such a great Jedi Master that will one day rise."

Cade then looked at Vader with a smile, "He will take care of my Mara too. Anakin you need to redeem your darkened soul. Pull yourself out of the darkness. I still believe in you I know that you..."

With that Cade died. Vader reached forward and closed Cade's eyelids before looking down at him in tears, "In peace Master of the New Jedi Order."

Vader then looked down at Cade noticing that his lightsaber was at his side still. Palpatine was so severely injured that he hadn't even had time to collect his trophy.

Vader smiled, Cade had to have injured him bad for him not to collect a trophy from a fallen Jedi. He reached forward and picked up the lightsaber and clipped it on his belt. There was something that he could still do for Cade. He then turned to Malen, "Take his body and load it up. We will go back to the Exactor. Padme will most likely be there."

"Does she know to contact Veers?"

Vader nodded, "I am sure that she will contact him soon. She probably will throw off the Emperor first with a few random jumps."

Malen nodded as he motioned for Shmi and Ahsoka to help him in carrying the body.

He then spoke, "He is right Anakin and he believed in you."

Vader nodded as he turned to the woman that he had noticed at Cade's side, "Who are you?"

"M-My name is Myrana. My children befriended the twins and Mara at school and through it all I became friends with Padme and Serra. My husband is head of the police in town. After what Padme did against the slavers he was incredibly grateful to her so he had me come out to warn them about the Empire though I had no idea that Palpatine was here."

Vader nodded, "How bad was he when he left?"

"He was limping to the speeder and it looked like Cade's lightsaber penetrated his side."

Vader nodded, "Thank you for warning my wife Myrana. Now I want you to go and stay out of sight. Don't come anywhere near this property or they will know. Make sure that you and your husband answer every question truthfully."

Myrana nodded, "Aside from telling them that we were harboring her?"

Vader nodded, "Just tell them that you didn't know that she was Amidala."

Myrana nodded, "I will also tell the school that they are gone."

Vader nodded as Myrana left he then turned towards the carnage that he was surrounded by, "Cade certainly put up a good last fight."

Malen who was a distance away nodded in agreement, "I can't believe how many there are there has to be at least a hundred corpses here."

"I think there is. About eighty Clones, six officers, The four inquisitors and the guards. Now lets go before Palpatine knows that we are one step ahead."

Malen nodded in agreement and with his nephew at his side he headed for their ship.

Amidala: Outbound from Dantooine:

Little Mara in horror screamed just thirty minutes after the Amidala entered Hyperspace, "Daddy!"

At the same time Padme noticed tears in Luke and Leia's eyes, "Did you feel it too?"

The twins nodded as Han entered the cabin with his head hung down. Padme felt tears in her eyes and moved over to Serra and hugged Serra affectionately.

Serra looked at Padme in tears. Mara noticing that her Granddaughter needed someone picked her up and hugged her. Han looked at the twins, "Come on lets go get some things taken care of.

Serra looked at Padme in tears as Mara left the room with her granddaughter, "He gave me so much love in the time that we were together. Now I have nothing. I have nothing at all. I am just your slave now and nothing more."

Padme shook her head, "You still have Mara she is a product of your love together and she lost her dad and that little girl needs her mom. You are loved still Serra by your mother and by me."

Serra looked at Padme in tears. She was so undeserving of Padme's compassion after how she had treated her when she had been the master. She looked at Padme as she hugged her in tears.

Han served a lunch that only the children had an appetite to eat. No one else could eat as they thought of Cade. How they missed him. Han frowned, Cade had taught him what it meant to be a man. Had listened to him as he had some Man to Man conversations about his mistakes. In fact Cade was almost like a father to him. He felt a tear in his own eye. He never cried but to him Cade was his father. At the same time he felt Chewie comfort him, "He did what he had to do Cub there was nothing that you could have done."

"I-I know Pal."

At the same time Padme entered the room, "Han you have already done a lot but Mara needs someone right now so your mom is taking her in her bed for the night. Can you please take care of the twins? Serra needs me?"

Han nodded as Padme spoke, "Thank you Han I want you to have 3PO pilot for us through the night so you can get some sleep."

Han nodded obediently.

Padme headed for her bedroom noticing that Serra was placing out a water glass for her and her nightgown. Padme wordlessly headed for her closet and pulled out a spare nightgown feeling grateful that half of her wardrobe was kept on ship for an event like this.

She handed it to Serra, "You are staying with me tonight you need someone I can see it."

Serra in gratitude headed to the refresher as Padme dressed and slipped into her bed. Serra crawled into bed as Padme wrapped her arms around the emotionally compromised girl.

She hugged her, "I-I feel so empty."

Padme softly spoke, "Just let it out Serra. I am here for you pretty girl."

Serra cried in Padme's arms for what seemed like hours.

At a certain point she spoke, "I have nothing now except Mara. At least we have you Padme. We are yours now. Whatever happens to us is your decision."

Padme nodded, "I will always be here for you."

"What now? Will I lose my Mom or Mara or even you?"

Padme just wrapped her arms around Serra even tighter as she cried, "Cade was a good man Serra."

Serra nodded, "I can't remarry again. I just can't you probably don't understand."

Padme shook her head, "I do. In the four and a half years that I thought Anakin was Dead though our romance was short like yours I vowed to be with no other and I can say more power to you Serra."

Serra nodded, "H-He knew he was going to die. Yesterday on the picnic he said so. He knew all along Padme but he wasn't afraid."

Padme nodded, "Great men like him are a rare thing. He was a special man that is for certain."

Serra nodded in tears as Padme kissed her forehead.

Serra looked at Padme in gratitude as more tears poured out of her eyes. Padme merely hugged Serra as Serra cried deeply through the night feeling grateful for Padme's comfort at the moment.

Padme frowned, she could hear Mara crying for her daddy and she could hear Mara trying to comfort her namesake as she cried.

What a horrible thing. Serra had lost her freedom and now her husband. This was her fault. At that moment she heard a voice that she hadn't heard in years speak, "Don't blame yourself Padme."

She looked to see an image Of Qui-Gon Jinn smile at her and at the same time saw Cade appear at his side and simply smile down at her and Serra before they disappeared.

Padme looked at Serra whom was crying in her sleep and let go of her shock at seeing the spirits and hugged Serra as she cried herself to sleep.

After dropping out of Hyperspace a few hours later Han managed to pick up Padme's comlink as Vader called. "Solo what is the situation?"

"Everything is a mess sir, Padme is asleep with Serra right now trying to comfort her. The twins are pretty stressed. Little Mara has been crying with my mom all night and I have slept very little."

"I want you to head for the Exactor it is located right above Eriadu and take them there. I should be there in thirteen hours. I will have Veers expecting your arrival."

Han nodded, "We will be there in ten hours If I set course now."

"Do it, The Exactor is the only safe spot in the Galaxy right now where he won't look. Veers had a cousin that warned me and I just got there as Cade died."

"You were with him?"

"Yes I was Solo now do as I told you. Tell Serra that he was brave and that he didn't die alone.

"I will."

Han then obediently followed Vader's orders, Right now he felt like the Galaxy was on his shoulders with the Responsibility that Cade and Vader had entrusted him with.

Back in her bedroom. Padme smiled as the heartbroken widow finally closed her eyes. She would make sure that Serra and Mara were always taken care of by her and she would not fail to protect them like she had Cade. It was her own personal oath now that she would protect Serra like she was her sister and Mara like she was her niece.

Padme placed a hand on her stomach feeling gratitude towards Cade for saving her unborn child.

Yes I know that a lot of you wanted Cade to live and to be honest I had a hard time doing this but in the end I wanted him to be the hero and he certainly was not just the guy that died. He was certainly a hero in the end.

I know that this chapter may have been hard to read and to be honest it was hard to write but in the long run I am glad with the results. Thank you for the input and the reviews I am sorry that I killed Cade but he died like a man and showed that he was certainly the Father of Mara Jade with how he went down.

-Next chapter will be up soon and I am guessing that all of you Cade lovers are also Palo haters.

Thank you again.
