Ok here is a long update I am going to start writing the next Chapter after I get some sleep. Thank you For reading.

Star Destroyer Exactor: Thirteen hours later:

Colonel Maximilian Veers stared at the leaked report that his cousin had composed in disgust. Palo Reliaz had plotted with the Emperor in hopes of gaining a trophy wife. What a scum bag that the man would want to take another man's wife and toss her children out the door like they were nothing at all. He had never met Reliaz though he knew the name because of how high his family was. His Father had known Reliaz the second and had nothing good to say about the man. He smiled, Wait until Reliaz learns that he was trying to steal the wife of Darth Vader.

At that moment Captain Ozzell Approached him, "Sir there is a Royal Nabuian Cruiser requesting permission to board."

Veers nodded, "Have them board in a clear Hanger Bay. Keep everything quiet. You have the bridge."

"Yes Sir."

Veers then turned and headed down through the interior of the Exactor ignoring the various Imperial Personal as he approached the Hanger Bay.

He entered it and swiftly dismissed the squad of Clones that were waiting as the ramp was lowered.

He noticed a Wookiee and young boy of around fifteen come down the ramp with Blasters in hand, "Nothing to worry about son you are among friends here."

The boy nodded, "I am not your son. Han Solo and this is my copilot Chewbacca."

Veers nodded as he saw a redheaded woman that he recognized from images that he had seen as Cay Karis's wife. She had a small redheaded child in her arms that looked highly traumatized, "I want my daddy."

"Mara ssh, its alright," said the woman.

Veers felt rage, Reliaz had thought with lust and now a little toddler was crying for her daddy. He knew the pain, his wife had just died of Illness and it was the same way for his son Zevulon whom stayed with his Parents now in the time that he was apart from him. He planned however to transport his son to The Exactor soon where he would raise him. Vader had already given him permission.

He then turned his attention to the boarding ramp where he saw Padme Amidala appear with a young redheaded girl of around twenty in her arms. At the base of her feet were Vader's children.

Veers politely bowed as Padme approached the bottom of the ramp, "Colonel Veers at your service milady."

Padme nodded, "Thank You Colonel when will Anakin arrive?"

"He should be here in a couple of hours."

Padme nodded as she looked down at Serra, "Can you please take us to our chambers? Serra really needs someone right now."

Veers nodded and motioned for everyone to follow him. At the same time he noticed a Golden Protocol Droid and a Blue Astromech droid in tow at the end of the group.

Padme then looked at Veers as he paused in front of a large set of double doors. "These are new."

Veers nodded, "Within Milady are various rooms he said he has one for the twins one for the little girl and then everyone else will have to choose their rooms."

Padme nodded as the doors opened. She then entered as Veers left her.

She looked at the twins and at Mara, "They are all very tired lets get you all in your beds for a nap."

She then led the twins to their beds while Serra took Mara to her bedroom.

After tucking their children in Padme came out of the room as Serra stood in front of her, "Are you hungry?"

Padme nodded, "Yes Serra but you don't need to do anything."

Serra shook her head, "I want to. Work helps when you lose someone that you love. Just go sit with Mara while I make you something I am letting my Mom get some sleep Mara kept her up."

Padme nodded and entered the room where Mara was laying. She knelt down by Mara and kissed her cheek.

"Padme."

Padme frowned and looked at Mara, "Yes Mara?"

"Why did Daddy Die? Is it because he didn't love me enough?"

Padme shook her head as she took Mara and sat her on her lap. "Your daddy loved you Mara. The reason that he died was to save us from the Emperor. He died to protect all of us."

Mara felt tears in her eyes, "Is Anakin going to kill the Emperor?"

Padme nodded, "Someday he will. I promise you."

Mara nodded in tears as Padme hugged her.

Mara then spoke, "My Mommy's daddy died though and he didn't love her."

Padme nodded, "Your Mommy's daddy was killed because he was a very bad man. Your daddy was a very good Man but he was killed because he had to protect us."

Mara nodded as Padme kissed her on the cheek. Padme then began to sing to Mara and then soon felt Mara's head fall. She kissed the child and laid her down before heading out of the room and noticing Serra with a plate of food for her.

Padme noticed Serra sit down and spoke, "Are you hungry?"

"A little," replied Serra.

Padme nodded and passed her plate to Serra, "Take a little I can't eat all of it."

Serra nodded, "Thank you."

Padme smiled as Serra took half of her sandwich and then sat down next to Serra as she hugged her.

Serra smiled at her, "I am so glad that I am bound to you Padme out of all of the trillions of beings in the Galaxy. You are so good to me."

Padme nodded and hugged her, "For what Cade did I owe you."

Serra shook her head, "If it hadn't been for the amount of times that you have saved my and Mara's lives I would be free because of his death."

Padme frowned, "You still aren't?"

Serra shook her head, "You saved me from Palo, and You saved Mara twice. I can't ever be free."

Padme frowned in disgust, "I have a hard time respecting a culture that enslaves its own people."

Serra nodded as Padme put a comforting arm around her. She may never be able to feel freedom but at least she was destined to serve a good woman for all of her life.

Padme and Serra both fell asleep on the small couch.

A long time later the two awoke to the sound of the doors of their chambers opening.

Padme heard the sound of Mechanical breathing as her and Serra opened their eyes. She saw Malen, Ahsoka and Shmi enter the room followed by Anakin who immediately headed into a nearby room. He returned in black robes a few moments later as Padme and Serra stood up. He then approached Serra.

"Serra I am terribly sorry for Cade. He was a great man I was to late to save him. I arrived on the scene as he was dying."

Serra looked at him in shock, "Y-You were with him?"

Vader nodded, "He was very brave as he died Serra and he did not die alone. Cade Jade was a great man and he proved it in the carnage of destruction that was surrounding his dying body."

"What do you mean?" asked Padme.

Vader smiled, "He took down an entire Clone Squadron and they weren't petty flunkies either. They were elite Shock Clones and all were veterans.

He also killed all of their Commanders who were the top of their classes and highly skilled, Along with four Force sensitive Inquisitors. On top of that he killed around fourteen Royal guards and wounded the Emperor according to your friend Myrana who witnessed the battle."

"So the Emperor killed him?" asked Serra.

Vader nodded as he held out a lightsaber, "This was Cade's I thought that you would like to have it to keep for Mara. She can have it when she is old enough."

Serra looked at Vader in tears as she took the lightsaber in her hand and held it up realizing that it was the last thing that her beloved husband had touched in his lifespan.

She looked at Vader in gratitude as tears came to her eyes. Vader frowned, "You look tired come you can get some rest."

Vader then led Serra towards a door and opened it, "This is your room."

Serra looked at the large bed and elaborate room in shock, "I am only a slave girl. I don't need this."

Vader shook his head, "Had Cade lived as I planned he would have shared it with you and either way you will not be treated as a slave Serra after what your husband did for my family."

Serra frowned, "But it is all that I will ever be."

Vader shook his head, "Only because of your people's culture I hate slavery just as much as Padme does after being raised as a slave and I want you and Mara to have good lives for what Cade has done."

Serra nodded obediently and headed into the room to sleep.

Vader than turned and headed out of the room as Padme approached him, "I am going to take a little nap too if that is alright."

Vader nodded, "I will join you I am pretty tired. I will talk to Serra about a funeral for Cade after she wakes up."

Padme looked at him in shock, "Y-You are going to give him a funeral too?"

Vader nodded, "I think that we should give him a Jedi funeral."

"What is the tradition of a Jedi Funeral? I mean I was at Qui-Gon's but that was the only one."

Vader nodded, "If there is a body it is burned on a pyre. As for the Jedi's lightsaber if He has a Padawan it is given to him. If not then to his Master and if both are non existent than it is burned with him."

"Cade had neither."

Vader nodded, "True but he did have a wife and daughter as far as I am concerned the lightsaber is theirs."

Padme nodded as She removed her dress and crawled into bed with her husband.

A couple of hours later Vader and Padme awoke and dressed and headed out of their room to see that Serra had tea cups waiting for them. The couple sat down on the couch as Shmi entered the room with Colonel Veers.

Vader looked at Veers, "Did you learn everything?"

"Y-Yes my Lord are you ready to hear it?"

Vader nodded noticing that Serra was preparing to leave the room as Malen entered, "Serra please remain this concerns you," stated Vader

Serra obediently nodded and sat down faithfully at Padme's side.

Vader frowned, She is so submissive that she almost doesn't even think of anything but serving.

He then turned his attention to Veers, "Yes Colonel What Have you Learned?"

Veers then spoke, "From what I know he was tipped of by a man named Palo Reliaz of Naboo."

Padme gasped in shock, "How would Palo know?"

Veers looked at Padme grimly, "From what he heard Palo encountered the man that sold you into slavery."

"Alark?"

Veers frowned, "He didn't say."

Padme nodded as Veers looked at Vader, "The man made a deal with the Emperor."

"A deal?" asked Vader as his eyes glowed yellow with rage.

"In return for providing the Emperor with the Children of Anakin Skywalker he would be allowed to keep Padme in his chambers where he would reactivate her slave transmitter and he would force her to marry him and bear..."

Veers let his words trail off as glass shattered around him and various objects along the wall went flying.

Veers looked at the Dark Lord in horror, "Forgive me I am not mad at you. I am Angry at this man for lusting after my wife and further more I am angry that His lust caused a woman to lose her husband and a little girl to lose her father. The day that I am Emperor he will die a dam slow death."

Veers nodded, "I also am disappointed to report that the Emperor is on a quick road to recovery from his injuries."

"Of course he is I can never be so lucky."

Veers nodded, "I will leave you be my Lord."

Veers than Looked at Serra, "I am terribly sorry for your loss Mrs Jade I lost my wife to illness I know the pain especially when the person is your soulmate."

Serra nodded, "I will never remarry."

Veers nodded, "I am the same way."

Serra nodded as Veers turned and left the room.

Vader then noticed Serra get up and begin to clean up the mess that he had made with his Force Rage.

Malen then spoke, "I can make Palo's death look like an accident like I did with his father."

Vader shook his head, "I don't want what you did with Deara Antilles I want Reliaz to learn why he has been killed."

"His father knew. His wife simply handed me the code to their room and I tormented him before killing him."

Padme looked at Malen in shock, "You killed Reliaz?"

Malen nodded as Padme spoke, "I remember my dad telling me that Lady Reliaz was faking sadness at his funeral."

Malen nodded, "She asked me if I would kill Palo back then but I wasn't one for killing a ten year old."

Padme nodded as Vader spoke, "We will deal with him after the Emperor is taken care of. I don't want him to have a single hint that we are more than just one step ahead of him."

Malen nodded as Ahsoka entered the room and Spoke, "We should probably contact Organa so that when Master Kenobi informs him that he felt Cade's death that he will be assured."

Vader nodded and activated his Holocom.

Within moments an image of Organa appeared before him, "L-Lord Vader?"

Vader nodded, "I am guessing that General Kenobi has visited you recently in regards to Jade."

"Y-Yes we were just discussing the situation."

Vader nodded, "The situation is this, Padme's location was tipped off to the Emperor by somebody and he came after her with a hundred of his best clones and officers as well as four of his finest agents and around sixteen royal guards. Cade bought Padme and the others enough time to escape and died but only after taking down the Emperor's entire strike team and injuring the old man."

At that moment Vader and Padme watched in shock as Obi-Wan appeared before them at Organa's side For Padme and Vader it was very emotional for both of them to see the man that they had once been so close to them with all of the tension that there now was between them over Polis Masa. "And how do we know that you are telling us the truth Vader? I mean for all I know you could have killed Cade, kidnapped your wife and children."

At that moment Padme in anger moved into sight, "Because I was there General and you have the nerve to talk about telling the truth when you and Yoda wanted to lie to me and tell me that my babies were dead? How dare you?"

Bail glared at Obi-Wan, "Master Kenobi enough."

Obi-Wan looked at the Older man with a frown, "He is just using them Bail."

Bail shook his head, "You don't get it again you are not a father and Vader or not the man is doing what he must to protect his children even if it means keeping them on his Star Destroyer I can assure you that he means the best for them."

Vader looked at Organa with gratitude, "At least I am talking to another father who can relate."

Organa nodded, "I am sorry for Master Kenobi he just doesn't understand."

Vader nodded in understanding, "I know it Senator."

Bail then spoke, "Is there anything that we can do to help?"

Vader nodded, "Start preparing hideouts on Alderaan for other Jedi. Any other Jedi that I find I am sending your way for now on."

Bail looked at Vader in surprise but nodded, "Very well then as you wish my Lord."

Vader then watched as the transmission ended before turning to his wife and kissing her lips, "Anakin I didn't mention this to you yet but I-I'm pregnant."

Vader looked down at his wife with a smile, "Pregnant? Another child?"

Padme nodded, "Do you mind?"

Vader loooked at his wife in mock anger, "Why would I ever mind a child that we created?

Do you mind?"

Padme shook her head, "I am very happy."

Vader nodded, "We will have to find out what we are having."

Padme nodded and kissed her husband eagerly.

Their moment was ruined as footsteps were heard. Padme looked to See Luke and Leia run into the room, "Daddy!"

Vader smiled and picked each child up and sit them on his lap.

Luke then spoke, "Daddy why did Cade have to die?"

Vader frowned, "He was a good man Luke and I am very angry at the men that got him killed but he died to protect you. He had to save you so he stopped the Emperor from getting to you by fighting for you."

Luke frowned but nodded, "Why me?"

"Because he knows how special you are."

"Me?" asked Luke.

Vader nodded as he kissed his son's forehead.

Vader then looked at Serra as she entered the room, "I have Cade's body and I was wondering what you would like to do with him."

Serra nodded, "A traditional Jedi funeral is just a burning and scattering the ashes right?"

Vader nodded as Serra spoke, "My brother was killed on Praesitlyn and his body was very badly mutilated so we just burned it and scattered all of the ashes in the battlefield."

Vader nodded, "Would you like to do that?"

Serra nodded, "It is where we met and where Mara was conceived."

"It obviously is a sentimental place so we will take you there."

Serra smiled at Vader in gratitude.

Vader than spoke, "I am going to burn him in the robes that he died in and when we arrive on Praesitlyn I will take my Uncle and we will build the pyre you and Padme can do whatever."

Serra nodded, "We may go into town maybe we can go to that nice Cafe for breakfast that we used to go to when my Dad was off world."

Padme nodded with a smile at Serra.

Praesitlyn: One Day Later:

The Next day Vader allowed Padme to take the twins down to the planet's surface with Serra and little Mara while Mara, and Malen went with him to prepare Cade's funeral pyre. Mara bathed Cade's body as Malen and Vader built up the pyre that he would be burned on.

Padme meanwhile took Serra with the twins and Little Mara into a nearby Cafe while being guarded by Han and Chewie. She looked around the Cafe noticing several of Serra's old friends that she had often served tea to during her enslavement.

She looked at Serra with a frown, "Why did you have to wear that skirt and shirt? I felt so humiliated in the four years that I wore it."

Serra looked at Padme and nodded, "I know it I am just experiencing what you experienced on the planet that I abused you on and I must say that I can't believe after all that I did to you and that you can forgive me."

Padme nodded and put a hand on Serra's shoulder, "I don't want you to allow yourself to be degraded by this dammed life debt that you owe me,"

Serra shook her head, "With Cade dead nothing matters to me anymore aside from my Mara."

Padme nodded as the group headed for a nearby table. At the same time they passed Serra's group of old friends who snickered, "What happened Serra? You are your slave's slave now because of how she saved your wedlock kid and you from that slimy Reliaz?" asked the boy that Padme recognized as the one that had groped her several times during her enslavement. At the same time he swatted Serra's rear, "Nothing more than slave trash now. She even makes you wear her outfit. Maybe Padme will let me..."

His words trailed off as Padme approached the arrogant boy and landed the hardest slap that she could muster on his face.

He fell to the ground and looked up at her in shock as blood poured out of his nose. Padme may have been a small woman but she certainly was capable of causing a lot of damage. Serra meanwhile looked at all of her supposed friends in near tears.

Padme then moved forward, "Regardless of the fact that Serra is bound to me for life no one will ever treat her the way that you did and her child was not a wedlock child. Serra married the father and although the Father is dead they were married and I will never ever have you touching her the way that you did."

Padme then turned to the three girls and other two men at the table, "You all pretended to be her friends four years ago and now all you can do is make fun of her. You are all nothing but trash. She wasn't forced to wear my skirt either. She put it on today to feel what I felt. I didn't want her to feel it either. She saw the error in her ways and now she tries to feel the abuse that I felt which I won't give her."

Padme then paused and glared at the young click, "You all make me sick all you can do is enjoy a girl's misfortune while I take care of her and treat her like my own family I don't want any of you around her or her daughter ever again and I don't want you around my children or me either."

Padme then looked at Serra and motioned for her to follow her to her table.

She looked firmly at Serra, "After today you are not wearing that outfit again."

Serra frowned, "I am undeserving of what you give me or of wearing any of your clothes Padme I am disgusting. I was selfish four years ago when I bought you as a trophy. I was selfish when I got pregnant with Mara. In the end I was always selfish I deserve this. I deserve to be mistreated and degraded I am dirt."

"But I won't allow it since I am your Master. I am only going to treat you like a person and nothing more and look at me Serra."

Serra obeyed as Padme spoke At the same time Padme took her by her shoulders and stared her straight in the eye, "Don't ever let me hear you talk about yourself in such a manner again. You are loved and you are not disgusting and you are special and I love you Serra remember that.

Serra nodded as tears came out of her eyes as a waiter approached, "Would you like slave menus for your slave?"

Padme glared at him, "Regular."

The waiter nodded as Serra spoke, "Remember how mad my Mom used to get when we came here and the waiter asked that?"

Padme nodded as she looked at the bracelets that labeled Serra. She hated the fact that Serra had insisted on wearing them.

After eating Padme and Serra headed back to the shuttle with Han and Chewie where Serra dressed in a loose fitting black dress of Padme's while Padme dressed in a similar dress.

Han stood in a black shirt and a pair of black pants. As the group landed near the old battlefield where the Battle of Praesitlyn took place Padme noticed the large Pyre that Vader had prepared. She approached it and noticed that Cade's body was at the top along with several torches.

At the same time everyone gathered around R2 as an image of Cade was projected, "If you are seeing this it means that I have died, I gave this to Padme because I knew that today was my last full day of life. I already know that Anakin wasn't the one to kill me.

First off Serra I am very sorry that I had to die. I know it won't be easy raising Mara alone but you won't be fully alone I know that Padme not as your master but as your friend will be there for you."

Cade then paused before speaking, "Anakin I know that at his point you may still be Vader but let the love for your wife and children come into you. It will heal you you weren't meant to be this way. I also suspect that my Mara will be your Padawan when you are redeemed."

The Image of Cade looked fairly loving as he spoke, "Luke I know that you just had your birthday and a lot of this is hard for a five year old to understand but You are meant to be a great Jedi Master. I saw visions of you in the future Luke and I just gave my life to insure that those visions come to pass and it is my honor to lay down my life for one so great as you. You shall be even greater than your father and mother."

Padme and Vader looked at one another in shock as Cade spoke, "Padme make sure that you take care of them and know that you are all that Serra has aside from her mother and Mara now. I must say that you were a sister to me."

Padme felt tears at Cade's declaration.

"Han take care of your Mother she is a good woman and remember all that I taught you about being a man. You may not be Force sensitive but neither is Padme and she has done great things and you can be as great as her."

Han felt himself humble at the statement as Cade continued, "Mara you were like a Mother to me I am grateful to know you and that my daughter is named after you. Please look after them and look after Padme and the twins."

Mara nodded as Cade spoke, "Lastly Mara my daughter I want you to know that Daddy loves you and you will make him proud you have a great future ahead of you that I have seen."

Little Mara looked at the image in tears as it disappeared.

Serra felt tears pour out of her eyes, "Cade, My dear Cade I am so sorry."

Padme put a hand on Serra's shoulder and said, "It isn't your fault Serra it is mine."

Serra shook her head as Padme hugged her, "Don't blame yourself."

Vader than spoke, "The only one that should be blamed is Me. I sided with Palpatine that night instead of Mace Windu that was my mistake and it has costed millions of lives including Cade's."

Padme nodded in silence.

A short time later Serra approached the body of her beloved husband in tears and kissed his dead lips, "You gave me Mara and love as well as understanding that I wasn't the Center of the Universe and that I was actually somebody, Thank you my dear love for everything there will never be another," said Serra in tears.

Han stood above Cade and spoke, "You taught me what it means to be a man and that I was more than I thought myself to be. Thank you Cade."

Mara then took her place over her son in law and spoke, "You gave my daughter the love that she deserved in your short marriage and as a mother I am eternally grateful to you for that."

Vader then spoke, "You believed in me and reminded me that I can change no matter what I have done Cade Jade. You gave your life for my wife and my beloved Children as well as my unborn child. For that I am eternally grateful to you. Please forgive me for failing to save you."

Padme then spoke, "You saved me from death when Cay was going to kill me. You saved me from a forced marriage to Reliaz and you saved my babies. I am eternally grateful to you Cade."

Vader than looked at Serra and noticed that she had a torch ready As Ahsoka led the twins off of the pyre along with little Mara. Serra then placed the torch on the large pyre and watched in tears as the flames consumed the body of her husband. At the same time everyone noticed something in shock, Cade's body disappeared from the pyre. Everyone was in shock and Vader was unable to hide his surprise, "By the Force that only has ever happened to the greatest Jedi Masters."

Padme looked at her husband in shock and at that moment Vader looked ahead of her and she looked and noticed an image of Cade, "The Force will be with all of you always."

Cade then vanished.

Padme then spoke, "He appeared to me the night of his death to and looked at me as I cradled Serra in my bed."

Vader nodded, "He was favored by the Force no doubt."

Padme nodded in silence.

After the funeral everyone headed for the City and to a hotel where they would stay the night before returning to the Exactor. Everyone was exhausted and grief stricken from Cade's death and it was obvious as everyone headed for their assigned rooms.

Ok I know that it was a long chapter with No action but the last one makes up for that right?

I hope you enjoyed the Chapter I really enjoyed it.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.
