"Anakin why didn't you tell me that the two of you…you know eloped?" Obi-wan asked

"We didn't elope." Anakin corrected "We had a proper wedding and all. We just didn't tell the council… or the senate…or anyone else for that matter."

"How long?"

"Two years."

"Why didn't you tell me? You're like a brother to me. What were you afraid I was going to do execute you for treason against the Republic?"

"No. But you would have told the council and gotten me expelled from the order. Quite frankly I would have been perfectly okay with that, but Padme didn't want that for me."

Obi-Wan was had a look of confusion on his face. "Anakin who told you would have gotten expelled from the order?"

I think they Jedi has made it pretty clear what they think about it. Doesn't Yoda forbid it and talk about how attachment of any sort leads to the Dark Side?"

It was at this moment that Obi-Wan finally understood everything. The strange behaviors, the bouts of depression it all made sense. But now Obi-Wan felt bad because this whole time Anakin had been livening the past two years with a misunderstanding and to an extent Obi-wan felt responsible because he ignored his best friend when he needed him the most. After a bit, he finally spoke.

"Anakin as why as Yoda is, he is not always right. his opinion is not law nor is it even the will of the council. If he had his way there would be a lot of things that the council does that would be forbidden. As far as relationships are concerned, if they were a crime worthy of expulsion, the lost 20 would be more like the lost 200. Half the high council either is or has been in a relationship at one point or another, Heck one of them is married with kids. I was in an open relationship remember? "

"Then why does nobody talk about?"

"Well…it's not forbidden, but attachment is controversial."

"And by controversial you mean master Windu and master Yoda dig their heels."

"Actually just master Yoda."

Anakin had mixed feelings. While he felt a little revealed, he alo felt stupid. He led Padme on a rollercoaster ride for nothing.

"Are you going to make me telling them?"

"Of course not. This is a decision for the two of you alone. I will say though that I think it will do you good.

Anakin smiled. "thanks Obi-Wan. You've been a good friend of me."

"I will say I am a bit disappointed." Obi-wan said

"really? How come?"

"You didn't invite me."

They both started cracking up. Obi-wan Went to the drink Dispensers of the ship and poured out some wine.

"Well I know this is two years late, but I propose a toast to a happy marriage. "

The two of them tapped their glasses and enjoyed the drinks. It was about that time that Ahsoka came to the ship.

"Skyguy is it true? Are you really married to senator Amidala?

"Yep. It's true snips I'm a married man. "

"Snap! I knew you two had something going on, but I didn't realize it was that serous. No wonder you and Clovis were always at ends with each other."

Padme followed not too far behind her, but once she met eyes with obi-wan she froze.

Senator it's okay Anakin isn't in trouble. As a matter a fact we just gave a toast to your marriage. "

Padme eased a little but not much. Then she burst into tears. "Please Master Kenobi I beg of you don't tell the council. I it was my idea to keep it a secret. I don't want him to get expelled."

"It's not my place to tell them. This is between you and your husband. "

Padme looked to Anakin with that look of "What should we do?"

"Master Kenobi, can my wife and I have a talk…alone."

"I understand." He switched the controls to autopilot."

"Come on Ahsoka. This is a husband and wife affair."

The two of them went into the backroom, leaving the couple in silence which Padme broke.

"What did he say? Was He disappointed in you?"

"Oh yeah he's disappointed. He's disappointed we didn't invite him to our wedding."

Padme smiled a bit. "oh good, but what about the council?"

"He advises that I tell them. He also said that the worst thing that can happen is that I get an earful from master Yoda."

"Think you can handle it?"

"I don't see why he wouldn't. Master Qui-Gon took earful from him all the time and look how he turned out."

"Will you tell them?"

"Will it hurt your reputation if the republic finds out your married to a Jedi?"

"No it wouldn't. The big concern here is you."

"I think it would be best. I mean think about it. If I told them and came clean, then we don't have to worry about keeping secrets. No more hiding. We can take on the galaxy together. Even if I am expelled forget it. If I have to choose between you or being a Jedi, I choose you. Do you hear me? I choose you."

"Does that mean…?"

"I'll do it. I'll tell them the truth."

Padme burst into tears and embraced her husband.

"Thank you…I hoped and I prayed that one day we wouldn't have to live this lie anymore. I love you.

"I love you too."

Once four of them reached Coruscant, Anakin took a deep breath and prepared to speak in front of the council. With Obi-Wan and Ahsoka waiting out side Padme was frantically walking back and forth. Obi-Wan was doing his best to claim her down.

I don't know…What if they get furious for keeping our marriage a secret? What if they expel him? It will break his heart.

"Senator Calm down you'll give yourself an ulcer."

As Padme paced back and forth, Obi-Wan noticed something odd about Padme. In particular her abdomen area.

"Padme are you…pregnant?"

All of the sudden she stopped and held her fingers to her lips.

"Shhhh he doesn't know yet."

"Have you known this entire time?"

"No I just found out on the ship. I was going to tell him after he was done talking with the council."

At about that time Anakin came out. "What did they say?" Padme asked "Are you alright? Are you expelled…What about…What about…?"

Anakin laughed "Padme…Padme…it's alright. Nothing happened. They were fine with it. In fact some of them were teasing about how I didn't invite them to the wedding."

"What about master Yoda?"

"I think he wanted to say something, but I think he was afraid to sounding foolish. Master Shaak Ti and Kit Fisto asked me when we are having kids. though I've got no idea."

"Yeah about that. Um honey. I found out something on the ship I need to tell you. Something wonderful has happened."

"What?" Anakin asked a little nervous

"I'm pregnant."

"Your…"

Anakin felt himself star to feel lightheaded. He almost found himself wobbling as his vision started to blur. But the joy he felt in his heart was unimaginable."

"I'm going to be a father…"I'm going to be a father…"

"You're going to be a what?" An elderly sounding voice asked.

Everybody turned around and saw that Chancellor Palpatine was behind them. Anakin froze as he realized that he never did tell him that he and Padme were married.

"Uh. There is something I need to tell you."

"If this has to do with the fact that you and senator Amidala are husband, and wife, I already know about that."

Anakin's jaw dropped. "How did you?"

"Oh my boy there is very little I don't find out about."

"Uh well…She's pregnant…I'm going to be a father."

"Really well this is wonderful news."

"Chancellor." Obi-Wan interrupted.

"Ah. Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. And General Tano. I must thank you for uncovering the Separatist's attempt to kidnap me. Had they succeeded, I don't know what we would have done."

Thank you. Right now I'm excited about Skyguy being a dad."

"As am I. In fact, I will say it's worth a celebration. I will throw a party in Skywallker's honor. And you are all invited."

"As much as I appreciate the offer, I am exhausted and I will excuse myself to bed, but I will sa that Anakin is more than free to enjoy himself.

Anakin gave in and agreed, and even he admitted that the party was excellent. While he was away, Padme brushed her hair and got ready for bed, but as she opened the door, she noticed the door to her bedroom was already unlocked. That was odd. She was sure Anakin locked the door before she left.

"huh. I thought…?" It was then she heard light breathing.

"Anakin I thought I told you to go and enjoy yourself."

No response.

"Anakin…? Anakin…?! AAAHH!"

Padme's scream sent a shockwave through the force. One that Anakin was able to sense.

"Padme!"

"What's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked

"It's Padme she's trouble."

Anakin raced back into the apartment. Immediately he sensed that there was an intruder. Anakin turned on his lightsaber and closed his eyes wanting the force to guide him to the intruder. As he tiptoed a across the room, he stayed totally silent.

PEW!

A blaster bolt sped past Anakin. Reacting on instinct, Anakin grabbed the intruder with the force and slammed the intruder against the wall.

"Where is she?! " He screamed. He pulled him in closer and realized it was a bounty hunter who had a smirk on his face. Anakin slammed her against the wall.

"I'm not going to ask again! Where is she?"

The bounty hunter let out a groan.

"Jabba took her."

"And why do you want to kill me?" Anakin asked

The bounty hunter let out another smirk. "Jabba doesn't like completion ."

Enraged, Anakin decapitated the bounty hunter just as His former master and apprentice came in.

"If that hutt does anything to her, he'll have me to answer to. I have to go back to Tatooine. "

I am sure right off the bat you noticed that things in this reality were different than the one you are used to. In this reality, Ahsoka Tano Never leaves the Jedi order, and her struggles she faced during her trial was enough to grant her the title of Jedi Knight. Because she stayed, she was able to foil Palpatine's plan to stage his own kidnapping. What takes his place is the kidnapping you have just witnessed Padmé Naberrie Skywallker's . What will come of this is something you will have to see for yourself.

A/N: I hope this chapter was better. I fear It still might be a little bit rushed. All of the italicized dialogue at the beginning and the end belongs to Uatu the Watcher, Also writing big long dialogue for me is tedious so any dialogue Jabba has will be Italicized English to show he is till speaking Huttese. I hope you enjoyed it. As always please read and review
