Thank you for reading.

-Fallen Jedi 79


Alderaan:

Bail Organa sat in his office as Obi-Wan spoke, "I don't like this Senator one bit. We need to rescue them."

Bail shook his head, "I have a better plan."

"What could be a better plan?" asked Obi-Wan.

"I will be seeing Vader at some little banquet in a few days. He is coming in place of the Emperor according to my report. So I will ask to see Padme and the twins after dinner."

Obi-Wan nodded, "Very well then we will do that I just hope that they are ok."

"Did Padme not seem ok to you?"

Obi-Wan frowned, "You are right. Now I must leave I am to report to Master Yoda on Dagobagh today."

Bail nodded as Obi-Wan left him.

Bail then left and went off to see his wife and daughter. He frowned, Will Obi-Wan get it? The last thing that he needs is a visit to Yoda. Yoda is not going to do the right thing if asked. He frowned as he headed for the family dining room. His frown was replaced with a smile the moment that he saw little Winter and his wife waiting for him at the dining table.


Praesitlyn:

Vader awoke at the side of his sleeping wife to a knock on his door. He opened it and noticed Serra with a large trey, "I have some tea for Padme and breakfast for both of you."

Vader nodded, "Thank you Serra. You can tend to Mara now."

Serra smiled, "She is still asleep."

Vader nodded, "I understand."

Serra smiled, "She is getting older. Soon I will have her performing tasks for you and the twins."

Vader shook his head, "Leave her be for now and let her have a childhood alongside Luke and Leia."

Serra nodded, "It is inevitable though there will be a day sooner or later that she will have to Work as a part of our debt."

"What if training her could count as the debt eventually?"

Serra smiled, "That would be nice and then she could be a protector for the baby that Padme is carrying perhaps."

Vader nodded as he carried the trey inside.

He set the trey down as Padme opened her eyes upon smelling the breakfast. She smiled, "Did Serra get it for us?"

Vader nodded as he sat down with her. Padme then climbed out of bed and took a sip of her tea before taking a plate of food. "Who has the twins right now?"

Padme smiled and sarcastically spoke, "We are such wonderful parents aren't we?"

Vader smiled as Padme spoke, "I am guessing that Mara has them or Ahsoka."

Vader nodded, "Reliaz will pay for Cade's life he will pay."

Padme smiled, "I know he will but lets wait until Palpatine is dead to deal with him."

Vader looked at his wife with a frown, "I understand the danger if we just go kill him. I will wait."

Padme looked at her Husband and spoke, "Do you think I might be able to visit my parents in a few months after I am settled in on the Exactor?"

Vader frowned, "Perhaps but be warned that your father won't have a welcoming attitude towards me."

"Why not?" asked Padme.

Vader frowned, "Right after you stole his speeder from Varykino he learned that you were alive and he learned about the twins and we had words."

"W-Words?" asked Padme.

Vader nodded, "The moment that I told him that your children were mine he accused me of raping you and I lost it."

Padme frowned, "You lost it because he accused you of raping me. If I had been there I would have lost it."

Vader frowned, "I choked him Padme."

Padme looked at her husband in shock, "You Choked my Father?"

Vader nodded, "Uncle Malen stopped me and then I explained to him what really happened. In the end he punched my nose and Uncle Malen restrained me."

Padme frowned, "So my husband and my father have assaulted each other?"

Vader hung his head in shame, "Yes and I stopped because of Uncle Malen."

Padme smiled, "I am glad that you met your Uncle he is good for you."

Vader smiled, "I agree he is one of the best things that has happened to me apart from you," said Vader as he placed an arm around Padme.

Padme looked at her husband with a smile and kissed him.

Vader than took another bite of his breakfast before smiling at Padme, "I sense that the twins are still asleep. Anything that you would like to do?"

Padme looked at her husband and merely smiled.


Ahsoka awoke with Luke and Leia both cuddled up against her in her bed. She had taken them for the night and they had all slept in peace.

She looked down at the twins with a smile, Leia was so beautiful she was the image of her mother and Luke certainly was his father's image. She smiled as she got up at the same time she noticed the twins staring at her, "Aunt Ahsoka do you think that Mommy and Daddy are awake yet?" asked Leia.

Ahsoka smiled, "I don't know Leia. I will tell you what how about we get some breakfast? Then we will see where your Mommy and Daddy are."

Leia frowned, "Do you really think she is still asleep?"

Ahsoka nodded, "She has a baby Leia and when you have a baby inside of you you get tired fast."

"Oh," replied Leia simply.

Ahsoka then led the twins out of the hotel room and at the same time noticed Serra standing in the hallway, "I have some food prepared for them bring them into my room."

Ahsoka nodded and led the twins inside where she saw three plates of food waiting she sat them down and noticed that little Mara was eating slowly and uneasily.

Ahsoka looked at Serra with a frown, "How is she today?"

"A little better she still pretty hurt from feeling his death through the Force."

Ahsoka nodded, "It was a strong rift when he went. One of the strongest that I have ever felt apart from Order Sixty Six."

Serra looked at Ahsoka in shock, "Really?"

"It was strong that is all I can say," stated Ahsoka as she sat down to eat.

Serra then took her seat as she began to eat she looked at Mara, the only living peace of Cade that she had now. How she missed Cade. Now all that she had left of him was a few holoimages, his lightsaber and Mara.

At the same time the door of her room hissed open and she looked to see Vader and Padme enter the room hand in hand with glowing faces of love, "How are our babies today?" asked Padme as she kissed Luke and Leia.

Serra smiled as Ahsoka spoke, "They slept in today with me. We were all tired."

Vader nodded, "I just received word that we will be heading for Alderaan in a few days because I am required to take the place of the Emperor at some stupid convention because he is unable to attend due to other things going on."

"Like trying to find me and my babies," stated Padme in anger.

Vader nodded as he took his wife's hand, "I am hoping to take care of him sometime."

Padme smiled at her husband, "I am so glad to have you in my life again Ani."

Vader nodded and kissed his wife on the lips affectionately. He then looked at his eyes in the mirror as Serra spoke, "You don't even seem like Vader anymore."

Vader frowned as Ahsoka spoke, "I sense like no darkness in you Master."

Vader nodded, "You would prefer that I go by Anakin again?"

Padme and Ahsoka immediately nodded.

Anakin then smiled, "Then Anakin I shall be. Cade believed in me I will show everyone that he was right and prove Obi-Wan and Yoda wrong."

Padme smiled and kissed her husband.


After eating the couple took the twins with Serra and little Mara and played in the nearby playground that Padme and Mara used to bring the twins to during her enslavement.

Anakin smiled at his wife as he watched the twins play, "So Mara used to bring you here often?"

Padme nodded, "On the weeks that Cay would be gone on business trips we would come here almost everyday."

Anakin nodded as he took a closer look at the nearby slide, "I recall seeing several pictures of you with them on that."

Padme smiled, "Yes Mara used to take a lot of pictures."

Anakin nodded as he noticed Mara and Malen approaching them at that very moment.

Padme smiled as she noticed the couple approach hand in hand. Mara then spoke, "I just managed to collect some of our belongings at that terrible house and I am never going back in."

Padme smiled, "I don't blame you."

Mara then spoke, "Palo never even changed the codes it is a joke getting in."

Padme smiled, "To bad he isn't here I want to kill him."

"You are going to kill him?" asked Anakin.

Padme nodded, "Mark my words he threatened my children and he caused the death of a good man. You will have a dead corpse to torment. Palo is mine," stated Padme firmly.

Anakin nodded and then glanced at Mara, "Where is your son?"

"He went with Chewie and the girls into downtown. I only hope that he stays out of trouble."

Anakin smiled, "I am certain that he will."

Anakin then spoke, "Palpatine is indisposed for the month because of Cade. We will use it to bind our time and plan our attack of him."

"Why not get him in his medical facility?" asked Padme.

"He will be expecting it and I don't want him to know that I know about you."

Padme nodded in response.

After a few hours on Preasitlyn everyone headed back to the Exactor and then Anakin had the course set for Alderaan where he was required to attend a convention in place of Palpatine. He knew it was a good opportunity to also allow Organa to see Padme and the twins.


Dagobagh:

Obi-Wan looked at Yoda in anger, "I will have no part of taking the twins and I am not going to help destroy Anakin or Padme again."

Yoda frowned, "Do not understand the importance do you Master Kenobi. To emotionally attached you are."

Obi-Wan threw up his hands in anger, He wordlessly left and headed for his Starfighter. He had heard enough from Yoda and he would not listen to Yoda again. He would focus more on being a Jedi that defied the Council in favor of following the Force like Qui-Gon or Even Cade. He had had enough of Yoda's rigidness. Right after his defeat in his fight with Palpatine he had talked of the need to change the Order but now here he was with no sign of changing from his narrow mind of thinking.


Star Destroyer Exactor:

Anakin looked at Padme with a smile as they finished tucking in the twins and headed for their bedroom. He noticed Serra just laying out Padme's nightgown. Serra looked at Padme and spoke, "Is there anything else that you need Padme?"

Padme shook her head, "No Serra go ahead and tend to Mara she needs her Mom."

Serra nodded obediently as she left. At the same time Anakin noticed a small light flicker in her face at the mention of Mara needing her mother. He frowned and looked at Padme, "She has no esteem left Padme."

Padme nodded, "She is always real submissive but there is a part of her that is broken from the loss of Cade and it breaks my heart to see her like this," stated Padme as she slipped on her nightgown.

Anakin nodded as he kissed his wife, "I hope that we will be able to heal her and Mara."

Padme nodded as she felt a hand on her stomach. Anakin then crawled into bed.

Padme then crawled into bed with her husband and looked at him with a smile, "I need you Anakin."

Anakin smiled and kissed his wife as he used the Force to turn off the lights.


The Next morning Anakin awoke spooned up against Padme. He smiled as she opened her eyes. He kissed her as he placed a hand on her belly that still was not rounded significantly. "I can't wait for this little one. How far along are you?"

Padme smiled, "I think five weeks."

Anakin nodded as he kissed her, "I love you Padme."

Padme smiled, "I love you too Anakin."

"Would you like me to tell you what we are having?"

Padme smiled, "Can you?"

Anakin placed a hand on her stomach and concentrated on the Force.

He smiled, "I know the Gender."

"What are we having?"

"Lets just say that Leia is going to have two against her."

Padme smiled, "Another boy. I sure hope that he looks like his daddy. In my four years as a slave one of the happiest things was looking at Luke and thinking of you since I had no image of you Luke was my image."

Anakin nodded as he pushed Padme down against the bed and kissed her, "This Alark guy that sold you I want to find him. He is the cause of Cade's death."

"I don't care about him but I want Palo's head. After what he has done to Serra and little Mara I will not be merciful on him and he will learn the hard way."

Anakin smiled and then got up to dress.

Anakin walked out of his bedroom and noticed his Uncle sitting down on the couch with a cup of Caf. At that moment Serra entered the room with a cup of Caf. Anakin smiled and took it from her, "Thank you Serra."

Serra smiled and headed back into the kitchen at the same time 3PO headed for his bedroom with a cup of tea for Padme. Anakin then sat down and faced his uncle, "I am so glad to have found you Uncle."

Malen smiled, "Me too Anakin finding you is wonderful. You are my sister's son after all."

Anakin nodded as he took a sip of his Caf. At that moment Serra entered the room with Little Mara. Anakin looked at Mara as she headed towards the playroom and then back at Serra, "How is she doing today?"

"A little bit better," replied Serra.

Anakin nodded, "When we arrive on Alderaan I want you to take her and do something just with you and her."

Serra's face brightened, "Just us?"

Anakin nodded, "Yes take Ahsoka or Shmi if you want or even your Mother. Or if you feel safe just take Mara."

Serra nodded with a smile, "Thank you Anakin."

Anakin nodded as he drank his Caf. He then looked at Malen, "She is all that Mara has now I want her to be able to be a mother."

Malen smiled, "You are doing the right thing Anakin I am proud of how much you have changed. When I first met you you were very lost."

Anakin smiled, "You really helped me a lot Uncle."

Malen nodded and Anakin looked to notice Mara coming from the direction of Malen's room. What is that about? Thought Anakin as Mara sat down next to Malen and gave him a kiss.

"Perhaps you two could just go on a date during the dam convention too. Alderaan has some great restaurants."

Malen smiled, "I would like that. Who will stay with Padme if you are sending everyone away?"

"Snips will and I think that everyone will probably be back on the ship well before I am done."

Malen nodded with a smile.

At that moment Anakin noticed Padme emerge from her bedroom. At the same time Anakin noticed Luke and Leia standing in the doorway with tired eyes. He smiled as they spoke, "Is Mara awake Daddy?"

Anakin nodded, "She is in the playroom I am sure that she would like for you two to join her," Anakin stated to Luke.

Luke nodded and ran off towards the playroom while Leia came over and sat on her mother's lap.

A short time later Serra entered the room and spoke, "I have breakfast ready come on in."

Anakin nodded and at the same time noticed Luke and Mara entering the room. He smiled at the twins as they followed him into the dining room where Serra and 3PO had a large breakfast set out for everyone. Padme smiled, "Serra you are the best."

Serra smiled as she sat down after serving up a plate for each of the children.

Anakin watched as Serra sat down noticing that she was sitting close to her daughter. Remembering that she was a mother would be enough to keep her going and not just fall into depression, Thought Anakin.


Alderaan:

Anakin hated dressing in his Vader suit and having to masquerade as the Galaxy's most feared man. As soon as he was Emperor he would burn the suite and he was going to also show the Galaxy how different he was. He looked around the room at all of the people in disgust, Janus Greejatus, Wilhuff Tarkin, not to mention Yssane Issard and her father who were head of Imperial Intelligence and Sate Pestage, One of Palpatine's personal aides who was one of his most loyal allies. Throughout there were plenty of slimy loyalists of Palpatine that Anakin hated to look at or think about.

As the dinner progressed Anakin stood watch over everybody in silence hating this boring event. After dinner he watched as the guests filed out before noticing that He and Organa were alone in the room. "I am guessing that you want to see Padme," stated Anakin.

Bail nodded and Anakin waved a hand and motioned for Bail to follow him.


Bail boarded an Imperial Shuttle while noticing a redheaded girl board the ship with a daughter of around three. He frowned when he noticed two prominent Slave Bracelets that were on both of her wrists, Was she Vader's slave?

Anakin looked at Serra and Mara and smiled after removing his Mask, "How was your day together?"

"It was wonderful Anakin, Thank you so much we really needed to be together alone."

Anakin nodded, "No problem I am happy for you both."

At that moment Anakin noticed Colonel Veers enter the room, "I have all of the things that you requested in the cockpit."

"Very good take them to my office I will give them to her tomorrow."

Veers nodded as Anakin smiled, He had spoiled his children with several new toys as well as a new ring for Padme. He smiled at Serra, "Did you get Mara some new toys?"

Serra nodded, "What about the twins?"

"I have some things for them."

Serra nodded as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a Credit Chip and held it out for Anakin, "Here you are this is what is left."

Anakin shook his head, "Keep it."

Serra frowned, "What is mine is Padme's I am only her..."

Anakin held a hand up, "Don't say it you are more than that to both of us."

Serra nodded obediently as she thought of Anakin's orders. He had given her a Valid Credit Chip with around five hundred Credits. She had taken Mara to the Game Arcade, To the Park and shopping where she had bought Mara a new doll as well as a few new books. She had purchased some new clothes for Mara and a new dress for herself and had in the long run one hundred Credits left but Anakin had made her keep them.

Anakin looked at Serra noticing that he esteem seemed a bit higher just from her day with Mara obviously having her with Mara more was the key to making her esteem rise, "You will have do go out with her more often."

"Not enough to intervene with my duties."

Anakin shook his head, "You are a mother too Serra and you deserve to enjoy time with your daughter."

Serra nodded in gratitude.

Bail watched the exchange, Vader was certainly a good slave owner if there was such a thing based on how he was talking to the girl. He then at the same time looked out the viewport and noticed that the Shuttle was approaching A Star Destroyer. Seeing a Star Destroyer So close up certainly made him nervous. He breathed in deep hoping that Vader was sincere and wasn't planning just to kill him.


Star Destroyer Exactor:

Bail followed Vader nervously off of the boarding ramp of the Imperial shuttle and looked around the Hanger bay noticing that it was empty. Vader motioned for him to follow and at the same time he noticed Vader look at the young slave who was carrying her sleeping child and some shopping bags, "I will take Mara for you."

Serra nodded as Vader took Mara and placed her on his shoulder.

Bail was in shock at the kindness and affection that Vader was showing.

He then followed Vader through the Corridors of the Ship as they approached a large set of heavy double doors. He watched Vader press in a code and then watched the doors open. He walked in behind Vader as they entered what he realized was an elaborate set of suites. He looked and noticed Padme sitting on a couch with a Redheaded woman of around forty and a Man of around fifty with grayish blond hair. He watched as Vader took the little girl into a bedroom before returning empty handed.

Anakin then sat down alongside his wife as he hugged and kissed her. It was obvious to Bail that Vader loved his wife.

Anakin then looked at Bail, "So Senator I am guessing that you have a lot of questions."

Bail nodded, "Who are all of these people?"

Anakin then gestured to his Uncle, "This is Malen Skywalker, My Uncle. We met a few years ago he helped me find Padme. This is Serra she was Padme's former owner. If you are wondering why she has slave bracelets it is because Padme saved her daughter from being murdered by her father twice and because she saved her from a forced marriage. By the law of her people she has to live her life as Padme's personal slave for life."

"For life?" asked Bail uneasily.

"If they refuse to own me or if I run I will be hunted with my daughter and killed. So It was the only way to keep us safe though they hate it. Padme and Anakin are very good to me though."

Vader then gestured to Mara, "She is Serra's mother, Mara and she is the woman that protected Padme and the twins."

Bail nodded, "Where are the twins?"

"Asleep right now I keep them on a decent schedule."

Bail nodded, "I see."

He then looked at Padme, "So things have been good since you two got together?"

Padme nodded, "He isn't Vader anymore."

Bail looked at Anakin in shock as he spoke, "I have to continue to pose as Vader but I plan to kill the Emperor and take control of the Empire very soon."

Bail nodded, "I see, do you have allies?"

Anakin smiled, "Everyone in this room, My former Padawan, and My cousin as well as Colonel Veers."

Bail nodded, "Can I be counted as one of your allies."

Anakin smiled, "I was hoping that you would ask that."

"Just seeing you and Padme together not to mention how you treat Serra shows me that you have indeed Changed."

Anakin frowned, "If Only Obi-Wan thought so."

Bail smiled, "He wants to talk to you without fighting if you are willing. He just visited Yoda and after his visit he has been permanently swayed to my side."

Anakin smiled, "Good I am glad to hear that."

Bail nodded, "Are you willing to talk to him?"

"If he promises no fighting he is welcome to join me for lunch tomorrow. I don't want any violence in front of my son or daughter or in front of little Mara she is very traumatized still from her father's death."

"Father?"

"Cade Jade was her father," Stated Anakin.

Bail nodded, "I understand, I will make sure he is clear in understanding that there will be no confrontations between you two."

Anakin smiled in gratitude. Serra meanwhile looked at Padme, "Would you like some of your favorite Ice cream for you and the baby?"

Bail gasped in shock, "Y-your expecting?"

Anakin nodded, "Yes and we are thrilled."

"How far along are you?" asked Bail.

"About five weeks I think," Replied Padme.

Bail smiled, "Congragulations. Are you fine with Obi-Wan knowing?"

"As long as he doesn't tell Yoda."

Bail smiled, "I doubt we will be hearing from Yoda for awhile he says we are to emotionally attached."

Anakin chuckled.

Bail then looked at his Wrist Chrono with a frown, "It is late and Winter probably is wondering where her daddy is."

Anakin nodded, "Veers will return you to the surface."

Padme then spoke, "How long is the Exactor supposed to be here for?"

"We are staying here for a couple of days so that the men can have leave on the Planet surface."

Padme smiled, "We should get together with Breha and Winter for a play date if it is ok with you?"

Anakin smiled, "It should be fine as long as you stay out of sight of everyone. Now that Antilles is dead I think that you are now good as far as spies in the Palace."

Bail smiled, "That sounds good we can do it tomorrow while you and Obi-Wan talk."

Anakin nodded, "For what its worth instead of having lunch up here we can just meet down on Alderaan."

Bail smiled, "I will make the arrangements."

Bail then turned and left the Skywalker suites.

Anakin then looked at his wife and kissed her. She smiled as she was given a bowl of Alderaani Chocolate Ice Cream. She thanked Serra before looking at Anakin, "Lets go to bed."

Anakin smiled and kissed his wife before leading her into their bedroom.

Serra then headed for her bedroom noticing that her Mother and Malen were staying up together.

Anakin and Padme both smiled as they laid in bed together, "So you really think that Bail is sincere?" asked Padme.

Anakin nodded, "He is very angry at Obi-Wan and Yoda for what happened to you and the twins as well as how they tried to steal the twins from you time and time again."

Padme nodde as she snuggled up against her husband, "This is my favorite place in the universe."

Anakin smiled and kissed her before wrapping his arms around her.

The couple felt joy for the hopeful future that was ahead of them once they killed Palpatine.
