Hello everyone! This is my new story! It is my version of what would have happened, what should have happened in Revenge of the Sith, given Anakin's character. I really believe that the whole plotline of ROTS was written just to tie events in with the original trilogy. But I think events would have played out a lot differently and Anakin's choices would have been different. As a side note, I will update this story regularly! I won't leave you hanging like I did with my other story! I have a proper idea, and I really hope it's going to work! Hope you all enjoy it!
Anakin walked alongside Bail into the Senate Office Building, as the afternoon sun cast shadows across the hallway. He felt truly relieved that he was able to rescue the Chancellor, and for the first time in many months, relaxation came through him.
"The Republic can't praise you enough," Bail said. Anakin flushed with pride.
"Thankyou, Senator Organa," he replied politely.
They continued along the hallway.
"The end of Count Dooku will surely bring an end to this war, and an end to the Chancellor's draconian security measures," Bail told him.
"I wish that were so, but the fighting is going to continue until General Grievous is spare parts . . . The Chancellor is very clear about that," Anakin replied swiftly.
Something caught Anakin's eye. A shadowy figure stood behind one of the pillars, dressed in black. Anakin caught a glimpse of her beautiful, dark hair and mesmerising eyes. He realised who it was, and excitement surged through him.
He barely listened to what Senator Organa was telling him.
"Excuse me," he told him politely.
"Certainly."
Anakin took a few paces towards the shadowy figure, then broke into a run and scooped her up in her arms. He twirled her around with unbridled joy, before embracing her as tightly as possible, then sealing it with a long, loving kiss.
"Oh Anakin…." Padme said tenderly.
"I've missed you Padme. I've missed you so much," Anakin told her.
"There were whispers..that you'd been killed. I've been leaving in unbearable dread."
"I'm back, I'm all right! " He kissed her again. "It feels like we've been apart for a lifetime. And it might have been ... If the Chancellor hadn't been kidnapped. I don't think they would have ever brought us back from the Outer Rim sieges."
Anakin started to give her another kiss, but Padme stopped him.
"Wait…not here."
"Yes, here! I'm tired of all this deception…I don't care if they know we're married," Anakin told her, and he meant it. The sole thing that mattered to him was her. He lived for her. He breathed for her. He did not care what others thought of their relationship. Not even the Jedi Order. He was prepared to leave them for her.
"Anakin don't say things like that…" she started.
"I've given my life to the Jedi order, but I'd only give up my life, for you."
"Patience, my handsome Jedi, come to me later," she told him playfully.
Anakin embraced her again, but noticed that she was shaking. She seemed anxious about something and she hadn't told him yet. He pursued it.
"Are you all right? You're trembling. What's going on?"
"I'm just excited to see you."
"That's not it. I sense more . . . what is it?" He was getting worried now.
Her beautiful eyes became moist.
"You've been gone five months . . . it's been very hard for me. I've never felt so alone. There's . . something I need to tell you, Anakin."
She took a deep breath.
"Ani…Im pregnant."
Euphoria flooded through him, overwhelming joy and happiness. He was going to become a father! Then his countenance changed as he realised the implications of what having a child meant- their secret would have to be revealed soon, and he would be expelled from the Order. But that wasn't important to him now. What was important was his love for the woman he held in his arms, and the fact that he was going to be the father of her child, the girl he fell in love with the moment she entered Watto's shop all those years ago. Sometimes, he couldn't believe his luck.
"That's.. that's wonderful. Padme..that's wonderful," he told her.
"What are we going to do?"
Anakin gazed deeply into her eyes.
"We're not going to worry about anything right now, all right? This is a happy moment…..the happiest moment of my life," he told her.
Padme flushed with joy at his words. She had never felt so safe and so loved, and could not believe that she could love someone as much as the man who was holding her in his arms. He was so genuine, she thought, and his loving, positive words had momentarily lifted so many concerns from her mind.
He's going to make an amazing father, she thought to herself, as she kissed his soft lips over and over again.
Hope you all enjoyed that! Please review!
