Chapter 7
An hour later, Padmé awoke from her nap. She sat up on the side of the bed and stretched. Her back felt good as new. She heard a noise from the other side of the room and turned and looked and saw Artoo rolling toward her.
'Anakin must have programmed him to watch over me' She thought.
She stood and walked out of the room and went looking through the house trying to find someone. She found her mother doing some cleaning in the kitchen.
"Well, good afternoon sleepyhead." Jobal greeted her.
"Hey mom. Where's Anakin?" Padmé asked
"You're father and he are out in the garage." She told Padmé.
"OK. I'm going to go out and see them." Padmé said and she turned toward the door.
"Wait, Anakin said not to let you go out there." Jobal said.
"But why?" Padmé whined like she did when she was a child.
"Well, for one thing, there are chemicals out there that could be harmful to the babies if you were to inhale them, and for another, there are tools out there that you could get hurt on."
Padmé sighed but she realized that her mother was right. She turned to leave the kitchen when Anakin came in the back door.
"Hi Angel, have a nice nap?" He asked.
"I did. What are you and my dad up to in the garage?" Padmé asked
"We've started work on a second crib." Anakin answered "It should be done by the time the babies arrive."
"Second crib?" Padmé asked confused.
"Your father went to work on the first one when he found out you were pregnant." Jobal informed her. "It's in the nursery waiting on you."
"Oh. OK." Padmé said. "Let's go look at the nursery then. You coming Ani?"
"No, I promised Ruwee that I'd be right back. I only came in to get us something to drink." He said as he walked to the chiller, grabbed to drinks and closed it
"OK Ani. You and dad don't work too hard out there." Padmé said, she then stood and walked over to Anakin and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes Angel." He said, he then turned and walked out the back door and back to the garage.
"Well, let's go find Sola and then go see what we can do about the nursery." Jobal said and she and Padmé left the kitchen.
Later that night
"What a day…" Anakin said as he and Padmé crawled into bed.
"I know… but don't go to sleep yet. We need to talk." She said.
"What about?" Anakin asked, a little aggravated.
"Baby names." Padmé said patiently.
"Oh." Anakin calmed down. "Yeah, we haven't discussed baby names have we?"
"No and I think we need to, given how close I am to giving birth."
"Well, which do you wanna start with, the boy or the girl?" Anakin asked.
"Umm…" Padmé thought for a moment. "The girl."
"OK, do you know any girl names?" Anakin asked
"Well, I always wanted to name my daughter after my late grandmother. I was rather close to her as a child." Padmé said.
"What was her name?" Anakin asked
"Leia." She responded
"Leia." Anakin said trying out the name. "I like it. Leia it is."
"Now for our son." Padmé said
"What about naming him after my mother's father? Luke?" Anakin asked
"I like it." Padmé said "Leia and Luke Skywalker."
With that Anakin and Padmé shared a passionate kiss.
"Goodnight Angel." Anakin said.
"Goodnight Ani." Padmé responded.
Anakin then reached into the Force and the lights in the room slowly faded into nothing and they drifted off to sleep. Dreaming of happiness with Luke and Leia.
