Hey guys! Thankyou all so much for the reviews, follows and favs! Really appreciate it! Here's chapter 2. Enjoy!
Dusk had fallen over Coruscant.
Anakin hastened towards the 500 republica building amidst the ongoing crowd of people. His heart fluttered with excitement. He was going to see Padme, he was going to spend the night with her after 5 months of lonely evenings. He felt so….content. Although the war raged on all sides, right here, right at this moment, those facts were merely irrelevant to him. His wife, the most beautiful woman in the galaxy, was pregnant. Words could not express his love and devotion for her. Happiness was flooding through him as he through the ground floor of 500 republica
He pressed the level of her apartment floor, hands trembling with anticipation. The lift doors opened , and Anakin opened her apartment door. She had left it accessible for him. Clever Padme, he thought to himself.
He saw her brushing her long hair on the veranda, wearing a blue, silken nightdress.
Force, I love her ! he thought to himself. Padme sensed someone standing in the doorway and turned around.
"Ani! You came!"
She pulled him into a passionate hug and kissed his soft lips. They smiled at each other lovingly for a long moment. Anakin looked down at her belly.
"Wow ! You really are pregnant! " he said, laughing.
Padme laughed and placed his hand on her belly. " Our child."
"How are you feeling?"
"Wonderful."
She resumed her place on the balcony, as she brushed her hair. Anakin leaned against the wall, watching her lovingly.
"Every second I was thinking of you. Protecting the endless, nameless Outer Rim settlements became a torture . . . the battles were easy, the longing became unbearable . . . I've never been so happy as I am at this moment," he told her.
Padme flushed with adoration.
"Ani, I want to have our baby back home on Naboo. We could go to the lake country where no one would know . . . where we would be safe. I could go early-and fix up the baby's room. I know the perfect spot, right by the gardens…"
Anakin's heart was rushing out of his chest. He was overwhelmed by her beauty and his love for her, and the child they would soon have. Their child. He would do anything for them, anything.
" You are so beautiful! " he told her.
"It's only beacause I'm so in love," Padme looked at him tenderly.
"No! Its because I'm so in love with you," he told her. He loved it when they had these playful conversations about how loved each other more. How he missed this for 5 months!
"So love has blinded you?" she asked him slyly.
Anakin laughed
"Well, that's not exactly what I meant."
"Well it's probably true."
She walked back inside with Anakin, closed the door, and snuck her arms around his waist. They remained like that for a long moment.
"I haven't laughed in so long," Anakin said.
"Neither have I, "Padme told him, and when she suppressed a yawn, she felt his strong arms lift her off her feet gently. He carried her to her bedroom and helped her lie down comfortably.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" he asked her.
"Yes," she murmured sleepily, "Just hold me. I've missed you for too long."
Anakin snuggled up next to her and gently held her in his arms. He quickly gave her a kiss. She quickly fell asleep, yet he remained awake for a little while after that. He felt that pure, blissful love for her, and felt so relieved after seeing such a treacherous time fighting on the front lines. He knew the war was far from over, there were more battles to wage, more challenges to overcome. Yet for now he just gave himself to his love for her, and it alleviated him for a short time from the destructive world around him. He only wished that he could stay like this with her forever.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! I will update with the next chapter soon!
