Serra awoke the next morning and looked down at Mara who was sleeping at her side.

She looked down at her daughter and kissed her how she loved her daughter and living piece of Cade that she had. She smiled as she got up, She would go and check on Luke and Leia most likely the twins were awake. She slipped out of her bed and took off her nightgown and slipped on her simple dress and then walked towards their bedroom. She opened it just as Luke and Leia were getting up, "Are Mommy and Daddy awake yet?" asked Leia.

Serra shook her head, "No and I think we should let them sleep today. I want you to come downstairs with me."

"Ok Serra," They replied in unision

Serra smiled as the twins followed her. She then looked into her bedroom noticing that Mara was just starting to stir. She smiled and entered the room and scooped up her daughter and carried her out of the room. She walked downstairs and noticed Sola sitting in the living room with a cup of Caf.

Serra smiled, "Good morning," she whispered.

Sola smiled back at her in response.

At the same time she noticed Luke, Leia and Mara, "Are Anakin and Padme still asleep?"

Serra nodded, "I was just going to start making breakfast."

Sola shook her head, "No just take care of them. I will cook."

Serra frowned, "Are you sure? I mean I can do it just fine."

Sola smiled, "I am just fine. You just be easy on yourself Serra.

Serra nodded, "I will make Padme her tea. She likes to have it when she wakes up."

Sola noticed the children follow Serra and frowned, Does the girl even know how to be her own person anymore? She works as though she is a droid, Thought Sola. She wondered what Padme was trying to do for the girl's esteem there was no doubt knowing Padme that it was her concern.

Serra brewed a cup of tea for Padme as Sola entered the kitchen. She noticed Serra take it upstairs before returning.

Sola smiled, "Is she awake?"

Serra shook her head, "No and based on how she is acting it will be awhile on days that she goes without the morning sickness she sleeps in."

Sola smiled, "I was the same way."

"Me too."

Sola nodded, "Do you think that you will ever have more?""

Serra shook her head, "If Cade was alive it would be a consideration though I was always just happy with Mara but I will never be with another man besides him and honestly Padme understands because that was her attitude for four years until she learned that Anakin was alive."

"Didn't your father offer her money to sleep with him?"

Serra nodded, "He did that with every pretty slave girl that he owned and quite a few accepted but not Padme and it frustrated him."

Sola smiled, "Sounds like my sister."

Serra nodded with a smile.

A short time later Sola heard her Holocom ringing and she answered it to see her father materialize, "When is Padme coming over?"

Sola frowned, "I don't know dad she is still asleep."

"Very well I wonder how much she really sleeps with him."

Sola glared at her father, "Mind your own business I will call when they awake."

She then severed the transmission in anger before looking back and noticing that Serra was flipping the pancakes that she had left was no doubt the girl was used to working and cooking. She smiled, "Thank you Serra."

Serra smiled in response. Sola at the same time noticed a beautiful Necklace that was on her neck, "That is pretty Serra. Where did you get it?"

Serra's face brightened, "Padme got it for me not long ago as a gift."

Sola smiled, "That is awfully nice of her."

Serra nodded, "I am only her possession but she treats me like a younger sister."

"I can imagine so that is how she was with all of her handmaidens."

Serra nodded, "Yes but they are still higher up then me because they are all freedwomen. I am a bonded woman for life so you can say that I am the lowest of low."

Sola shook her head and placed a hand on Serra's shoulder, "Don't think of yourself that way."

"That is what Padme tells me."

Sola smiled in response, "It is probably because she loves you."

Sola noticed Serra's face brighten, "Thats what she tells me. She tells me that I am loved."

Sola smiled, "I'm not surprised."

Anakin awoke with Padme at the same time in shock, "The one night that we sleep in clothing Luke and Leia don't come into our room. I wish we hadn't been to tired or we would have done less sleeping."

Padme giggled as she got up, "Maybe we will be lucky tonight."

Anakin smiled in response as he got up. He noticed Padme get up and wrap her arms around him. He kissed her as she got up and found her cup of Iced tea, "Serra is the best she always knows what I like."

Anakin nodded with a smile.

Han Solo sat alongside Ahsoka on the back porch as he listened to Ruwee and Jobal talk about their daughter's in quotes horrible marriage, "You know I am going to be glad when we don't have to stay here anymore as much as I love Padme I do not like her parents," stated Han. Ahsoka nodded, "That is understood I can't blame you."

Inside Ruwee looked at Malen and Mara and spoke, "You just don't get it, He is a monster."

"I totally get your attitude Mr Naberrie but you need to accept the fact that they are staying together weather you like it or not," stated Malen as he got up and left the table in frustration. The Man was unable to be reasoned with it was obvious.

Mara then spoke as Malen left, "Do you love your daughter?"

"Is it not obvious?" asked Ruwee in anger.

Jobal then spoke, "What I think he is saying is that if we love her that we won't be trying to push her away from Vader."

"All I want is for her to be happy."

"She is happy and I have never seen a cuter couple. If you watch them together it is obvious that they are in love."

Ruwee frowned as he got in anger and stormed out of the room not knowing what else to say.

Jobal then looked at Mara, "Tell me, What all did you do to protect Padme? I mean she seemed guilty as though she was ashamed when she put you in her story."

Mara frowned, "Between me and you woman to woman mother to mother?"

Jobal nodded as Mara breathed in, "I allowed my now ex and dead husband to rape me so that he wouldn't rape her."

Jobal dropped her tea cup as tears of horror came to her eyes, "Y-You did that for my daughter?"

Mara nodded, "No woman deserves to feel what I have felt Mrs Naberrie. Taking her place is something I would have done for any young woman. She wasn't the first though she was the first that never bowed and took his hand out for his bed. So rather than have him Force himself on her I got in his way so that he would beat me and take me to his bedroom and then it would happen and then Padme would often come to tend to me after it was over. She even still suffers from nightmares of me in that predicament."

Jobal placed a Hand on Mara in horror, "I-I am so sorry."

Mara shook her head, "It was worth it. He was going to beat the twins the day that he found out that Padme had warned Serra about the abortion pills so I told him that I was the one that old her and that day was probably the worst ever but I would go through it again for Padme and those sweet children if I had to."

Jobal nodded, "I am eternally grateful to you."

Mara smiled, "I am eternally grateful to you for bringing her into the universe because without her I would have never escaped and Serra would have never have been able to be with the man that she loved though it was short."

Jobal nodded, "So you believe that Palo really deserved to die like he did?"

"Certainly. I heard that it was a slow death."

"They put him in the garage and I walked out there after an hour to get something for dinner last night and he was still groaning. They took his body separate from the others."

Mara nodded, "Cade was a special man and his death is something that has scarred my daughter for life."

Jobal nodded, "I saw that image of him he certainly looked like a good man."

Mara smiled, "He was and no mother could have picked a better man for their daughter."

"So you approved?"

Mara nodded as Jobal spoke, "Do you think there will be more tension when they come over today?"

Mara nodded, "Most certainly. Padme already told me that unless your husband apologizes to Anakin for accusing him of raping her that there will be a rift between them."

"I hope the same will not be for me."

"If you want that I would apologize to them for trying to drive them apart and for inviting Reliaz over."

"I was acting in her best interests," stated Jobal defensively.

"That may be but you were wrong about them.. And is it worth losing your daughter just because you can't admit that you were wrong?"

Jobal nodded, "Y-Your right it isn't worth it."

"I lost a child Jobal, I scattered his ashes and he was only nineteen. At least though we had no bad blood when he died. But For those that lose their children because of bad blood, I pity them."

Jobal nodded realizing the wisdom that Mara had.

After enjoying a large breakfast together, Anakin and Padme looked at Sola, "I know it is time to face them," stated Padme.

Sola nodded, "I think that your attitude towards them is totally reasonable."

Padme nodded, "Thank you for saying so."

Sola nodded and Padme looked over at Serra, "I don't want the twins or Mara to hear us arguing so You can come over later. Until then stay here with them."

Serra nodded obediently. Padme looked at Sola. "Did Darred already leave for work?"

"Yes he did."

Anakin at the same time pulled out his comlink but looked at Padme, "I don't want to leave them here unprotected so how about I have Han and Ahsoka come over here with Chewie?"

Padme smiled that is fine go ahead and call them."

Anakin nodded and made his call, "Han."

"Yes Anakin?"

"I want you to bring Snips and Chewie over here. Bring Shmi over too if you want so that we can have our talk with our in laws."

"Thank you for giving me the job Anakin I am sick of them. They are really pissing me off."

Anakin shook his head in amusement, "No problem You know the drill in terms of protecting them. I will see you when you arrive."

"Sounds good."

Padme looked at Anakin with a as the transmission ended, "I am glad that someone in the family likes you."

Anakin grinned, "I know right? I am not surprised that Han doesn't like them."

Padme smiled, "After all that you have done for us and their attitude disgust me."

Anakin nodded as he got up with Padme. Just as he was about to take his plate Serra scooped it up and took it along with everyone else's.

Sola looked at Padme with a frown as Serra left, "Does she always do that?" she whispered.

Padme nodded, "She works way to much. Ever since Cade died she has worked even harder. It kills me to see the pain in her eyes. Yet she just continues to work away I think it is an escape to her."

Sola nodded as Padme spoke, "Oh that is another thing, I saw a pretty dress while we were driving yesterday in the window of one of the shops that we drove by yesterday that would look wonderful on her."

Sola smiled, "I will take you there on our way to Mom and Dad's."

"We will go after."

"Good idea," stated Sola.

Padme looked over at Sola as she got up, "So we are ready then?"

Sola nodded and Padme looked at Anakin and together the couple followed Sola out to the waiting speeder. They drove wordlessly to The Naberrie home and got out together and prepared for the conflict that was most likely going to occur soon.

Anakin and Padme followed Sola into the house as they approached the dinning table where Ruwee and Jobal were sitting with Malen and Mara.

Ruwee frowned noticing the anger in Padme as she sat down.

Padme then spoke, "I am not here to argue with you. Or to hear either one of you to question my marriage. Anakin is the man that I have chosen to spend my entire life with and if you can't accept that then it will only mean that we won't be able to be a family."

Ruwee frowned as Padme spoke, "First off you owe my husband an apology for accusing him of raping me."

"He choked me!" stated Ruwee in anger.

"You deserved it," Stated Padme.

Ruwee looked at his wife in shock as Malen spoke, "You better look at yourself to Mr Naberrie because you deserved being choked just as much as he deserved that punch to the nose and at least he admits that he deserved that but you don't."

Ruwee looked at Anakin in shock, "YOu believe that you deserved that punch?"

"Certainly and I deserve a lot more," stated Anakin.

Ruwee frowned as Padme then spoke, "What would your reaction be if Granddad had accused you of raping mom?"

Ruwee glared at his daughter, "Before you say anything Dad think about how it would make you feel."

Jobal then spoke, "She is right think about it."

Ruwee nodded as he thought in silence, "I-I would have been furious."

"Anakin was furious with you for saying that.. I think that you owe him an apology."

Ruwee was silent and Padme then got up, "Come on Malen. Pack your things we are leaving."

Padme then looked back at her father, "Don't count on seeing me anytime soon. I don't want you around my children or my husband with this kind of attitude either."

"Wait," stated Ruwee.

Padme turned back as Ruwee faced Anakin and swallowed hard, "I-I am sorry for what I said I truly am I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion so quickly."

Padme nodded, "There is one other issue that we need to discuss and you both are a part of it and it involves how you tried to tamper with my marriage yesterday by inviting Palo over."

"Yeah and ten men died here that didn't have to die had we been able to deal with him in the way that we originally planned," stated Malen angrily.

Ruwee looked at Malen in anger, "They were only thugs."

"It doesn't matter. Each one was somebody's son."

Mara then spoke, "Padme spared a young Pirate that worked for her Seller back on Dantooine. She hates killing just as much as I do. You would understand better if you were in our position."

"I have been in combat before," stated Ruwee.

"Against Rusty Battle Droids killing those things is nothing in comparison to taking a life," stated Anakin.

"Or watching the man that you killed die," added Malen.

"You know I have killed a lot of men in my lifetime. One of the reasons I am so picky about my jobs is I only like having to hunt criminals. But it is still hard to watch a man die that you killed. Even Reliaz the second. I killed him for revenge and it only made me feel worse," stated Malen.

Ruwee nodded, "I get the point."

Padme then stood up, "Now Anakin, Do we have a meeting with the Queen Today?"

Anakin nodded, "We do and I was hoping that you would join us we told her that you were alive and she wants to see you for herself."

Padme nodded, "That sounds good. I like that Idea."

Anakin smiled and kissed his wife.

Sola then spoke, "What of the children?"

"I am thinking we will just leave them with you if that is ok," stated Anakin.

Sola smiled, "That is fine with me."

Padme smiled and then reached out and took Anakin's hand and together the couple left the room. Leaving only Sola, Ruwee, Jobal, Malen and Mara.

After watching his daughter Leave Ruwee looked at his wife and spoke, "I don't get why she is so angry at me."

"She loves him Ruwee. Can you not get it?"

"You are telling me that we have to give him a chance?"

"You just apologized to him," stated Sola.

"I didn't have a choice."

Malen shook his head, "He hates it when people kiss up to him and I can guarantee you that he sensed your insincerity."

Ruwee frowned as Malen spoke, "Did I ever tell you anything about my second marriage? To Shmi's Mother?"

Ruwee shook his head as Malen spoke, "Shmi's grandfather hated me. In fact he was furious when he found out that his daughter was marrying me. She however told him that if she had to choose between me or him that she would choose me."

Ruwee frowned, "What happened?"

"He didn't listen and for three years she wouldn't have anything to do with him. Until one day that he begged her to give him another chance. Well that took a little prodding from me as well. In the end their relationship was never the same and after she died at her funeral he told me that he wished that he would have accepted me in the beginning because the damage that it caused was so irreparable that it broke his heart. In fact he died a few weeks ago and I believe part of it was the fact that he was broken hearted from how he was towards his daughter and the rift that it caused. Do you want to end up like that?"

Ruwee shook his head, "N-No not at all."

Malen nodded as he turned to leave the room.

Anakin and Padme looked to See Obi-Wan standing at their side as they walked up the steps of the Royal Palace.

Padme frowned, "I feel like my dad all of the sudden became fake."

"He did but I am hoping that Uncle Malen will talk some sense into him."

Padme nodded, "I hope so. I am really tired of his attitude."

Anakin nodded with a smile.

The group then entered the Royal Palace where Queen Kylantha sat on her Throne.

Anakin and Padme bowed as the Queen got up. Padme was glad that she no longer had to wear the makeup that the Queen wore. She then spoke, "How can I be a part of your scheme against Palpatine Skywalker?"

Anakin smiled, "I know that The Gungans will fight for my wife."

Kylantha nodded as Anakin spoke, "When the time comes they will join the Royal Forces. You will take Care of Moff Panaka and the other Imperial Supporters causing the Planet to go into revolt. While that happens I will make an attack on the Emperor who will be summoning me to his Palace since I will be on Naboo around that time."

Kylantha nodded, "Very well we can do that."

"Will Padme be in communication with the Gungans then?"

"I already have," Stated Obi-Wan.

Kylantha nodded in agreement.

Anakin then spoke, "At the same time there is a banquet around the time that I am planning this that you are hosting that will have Various Moffs including Tarkin."

"Yes I know."

"I want them all alive and untouched. Tarkin has to be taken if you can't get him alive then kill him."

"Understood," stated Kylantha.

Anakin then looked at his wife and then at Kylantha, "That is all for now you will hear from me when the time has come."

"Understood," Stated Kylantha.

Anakin then left the Palace with Padme and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan then spoke, "I am taking Ahsoka and Shmi to train today."

Anakin nodded, "That sounds good come with us."

Anakin then headed with Padme into the city. He stopped at a nearby shop and watched as Padme picked out this beautiful dress for Serra before returning to the Speeder. "Did you get anything?"

Padme shook her head, "That was all I wanted it was made for her."

Anakin smiled in response.

Ahsoka looked down at Leia as she levitated A rock. She smiled, "Ok Leia lets put it down."

Leia didn't respond so Ahsoka reached out and took the rock with the Force and pulled it From Leia and set it down.

She then noticed Shmi approach, "This is much better than having to be with Padme's parents."

"I know it is way better."

"I heard that we are going to be leaving soon though," stated Shmi.

Ahsoka nodded, "It is fine with me. I sense Skyguy approaching."

Shmi reached out with the Force and nodded in response. She looked over at Luke who was playing with Mara and smiled back at Han and Chewie, "Can you two watch them?"

Chewie roared in response as Ahsoka and Shmi headed into the house.

Padme entered first followed by Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"Serra?"

Serra quickly dutifully rushed to Padme's side, "Yes?"

Padme offered out a package, "Go ahead and open it."

"For me?" asked Serra in shock as her face brightened.

Padme nodded as Serra tore it open and allowed her mouth to drop open in shock. "P-Padme this is beautiful."

"Do you like it?"

Serra nodded, "Shall I go collect everything else?"

Padme shook her head, "That is the only thing I bought. I bought it just for you."

Serra looked at Padme in shock, "Thank you."

Padme smiled and hugged her.

"Go on and put it on if you want."

Serra nodded and ran off before returning.

"The Dark green looks good with your eyes and hair Serra," stated Padme.

Serra nodded, "How much did it cost?"

"Not that much," said Padme with a sly smile though she wasn't being completely truthful since it was a one hundred credit dress.

Padme smiled as Serra walked past her and off to tend to Mara, "See a little thing like that where I only bought something for her and not for myself and didn't just add her in is something that is very huge to her esteem. It will be in the long run anyways."

"Have you been reading up on it?" asked Anakin.

Padme nodded with a smile.

Ahsoka and Shmi then entered the room as Padme spoke, "Obi-Wan is going to take you to train. We will be spending the day with the twins."

"Very well Padme," Stated Ahsoka with a smile. Shmi then followed Obi-Wan and together the two girls followed the Jedi Master out of the room.

Dagobagh:

Yoda twitched his ears in shame at the things that he was feeling through the Force. For the first time in many years he was feeling as though he had been wrong. He was realizing that he had failed in what he had believed.

"You can't be perfect old friend."

Yoda turned to See an image of Qui-Gon standing before him, "So returned the Chosen One has?"

"Yes he has and the love of his family has saved him."

"Mmmm, Contact Organa I will. Inform him that realize how wrong I was I will."

"That is a good Choice Master Yoda you are truly a great Master you have only made a mistake. I wasn't perfect, Neither is Obi-Wan and most certainly neither is the Chosen one."

Yoda nodded in silence.

Naboo:

Anakin looked at Padme as they laid in bed together long after spending a day with Serra, Mara and the twins. He laid a hand on her belly, "I can't wait for this one to come into the universe."

"Can you tell the Gender?"

Anakin smiled and reached out in the Force before looking at Padme, "Its a boy."

Padme smiled, "A boy?"

Anakin nodded as Padme spoke, "I have a name for him."

"Really?"

"Yes why not name him after his father?"

Anakin shook his head, "I have a better name."

"Really?"

Anakin nodded, "I want to name him after the man that gave his life for my wife and children. The Man that believed in me despite the fact that he saw me in my darkest moments. I want to name him Cade Skywalker in memory of Cade Jade."

Padme smiled, "That is a wonderful idea. It would probably really make Serra happy to hear that we remember Cade like we do."

Anakin smiled and kissed his wife, "She seemed really happy today. We will tell her tomorrow what our son's name will be."

Padme smiled in response.

Anakin then turned off the lights as Padme moved close to him and ran her hands through his hair.

The next morning Anakin and Padme awoke and headed downstairs after dressing.

Sola looked over at her sister noticing how happy she looked and how happy Anakin looked. They were such a cute couple," she thought with a smile.

Anakin then sat down at the table as Serra served him. Soon everyone was at the table as Anakin spoke, "So Serra we know that we are having a boy. So we chose the perfect name for him."

Serra smiled, "What are you naming him?"

Anakin smiled, "He will be Cade Skywalker."

Serra held her hands up to her mouth in shock.

Anakin then spoke, "I Hope you don't mind."

Serra shook her head, "Not at all. Thank you for remembering Cade in this manner."

Anakin smiled noticing the amount of joy that he felt flowing through Cade.

"You will also get to tell him stories about the amazing man that he is named after Serra."

Serra smiled as Anakin got up with Padme and left the room.

Anakin looked at Padme with a smile, "That really had a great effect on her."

"I noticed," stated Padme. Anakin smiled and ran a hand through her hair as he kissed her, "Lets take them all out to lunch today with your sister and then to the Park before we leave."

"I like that Idea," replied Padme. Anakin frowned, "If only Cade had lived. I took part in burning the body of an innocent man when it should have been me," stated Anakin as he hung his head in shame. Padme moved forward and hugged her husband in comfort knowing that he felt strong guilt for failing to save Cade.

Ok now as for the Cade Skywalker thing. I certainly do not plan to take this story as far as the Legacy Era where the Cannon Cade Skywalker exists but imagine that perhaps that Cade could be named after his ancestor, Cade Jade and his Uncle Cade Skywalker if I did go that far which I doubt I will. Thank you for reading. I am almost done with Son Of Destiny and then I will be starting a new Fanfic. I am almost done with this. I think there will only be then more chapters at the most. Thank you for reading and or reviewing.
