While Anakin and Chewbacca were down on the sand planet, Padme found herself at a loss as to what to do with herself. When her husband had told her they would be checking out the outer rim planets she had thought he meant the both of them, but apparently she had gotten his message mixed up because he didn't me he would be checking them out with her, but rather he would be taking the Wookie with him. When she had tried to lodge a complaint he wouldn't hear of it. He could be downright stubborn about certain things and this had been one of those things.

I think I have a right to go since I am going to be living on the planet as well.

When I deem it safe and if I think it has potential then I will bring you down to the planet.

Won't I be safe if I am with you?

You will be safer here. I promise you can go with me next time my love, but do this one thing for me. I will take Chewie with me, but I need you to stay here this one time.

It had been end of discussion after that. Padme hadn't wanted to argue with him because truthfully Anakin never asked her for anything and she felt it would be wrong to deny him the one thing he had asked her for. So here she was left on the ship with only two droids and her unborn child for company. Reading and watching the Holo-Net hadn't kept her busy and soon she found herself wandering around the ship wondering when Anakin would get back. The former queen of Naboo was anxious to hear about the planet and if he thought it would be a good place to settle down for the time being.

"Miss Padme!" C3PO was hurrying in her direction and she could tell whatever he had to tell her it was important and had him distressed, well as distressed as a droid could get considering they lacked real emotion. "There is an urgent message from Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I tried to inform him that Master Anakin is out, but he was persistent that he speak with you. I would not have bothered you and yet I worried that-"

Padme was quick to cut him off as she headed towards the front of the ship with him hot on her heels. "You did the right thing coming to get me. I know that Ani told you not to worry me with anything, but I appreciate your honesty 3PO."

Talking to this Obi-Wan probably wasn't the smartest thing she could do, but then again Padme felt as if she did. She knew Anakin didn't trust him and yet he had been his mentor for years and since Padme had no idea if her husband had any family or anything other than herself and their unborn baby, which meant she had no idea if this Obi-Wan was trying to get in touch with them because something had happened to relative or friend of the family. If something had happened and she ignored the message she wasn't sure if she would ever be able to forgive herself.

"Padme!" As soon as she entered the room she saw a blue holo image of who she could only assume to be Obi-Wan Kenobi the Jedi master. She took a moment to study his features hoping to jog her memory and yet nothing came to her. She was staring at a stranger. "Thank the force you are alright. I know that our last conversation wasn't exactly left on the best of terms, but we are friends and I feared for your safety. Where are you? If you give me your coordinates I can come to get you. Anakin hasn't hurt you has he?"

"Anakin is my husband he would never hurt me." She stated taking a few steps back. "I am afraid that you have your facts messed up. My husband has done nothing other than protect me. It was the Jedi who betrayed us."

The Jedi master frowned. Something was wrong, he could sense it. "Padme, what are you talking about? It was Anakin who betrayed the Jedi. He joined the side of the Sith. He allowed Palpatine to kill Master Windu. It was Anakin who attacked-"

"I think we have heard enough of your lies Obi-Wan." Suddenly a chilling voice filled the air and Padme whirled around to see Anakin standing there covered in blood, but not showing any signs of harm, and glaring at the holo image of his old teacher. "My wife knows the truth of what you did. The Jedi hold no power over us anymore. I have no secrets from my wife and therefore whatever you were hoping to accomplish will not come to pass. I would recommend not trying to contact either of us again. I let you live on Mustafar, but I won't make the same mistake twice if you continue to pursue us."

Before the other man could say anything the image was cut off. Padme was quick to assure her husband that she had not known what Obi-Wan wanted. The last thing she needed was for him to think she had betrayed him. "Anakin, I swear to you the only reason I even listened to that message is because I feared someone we know, a friend or family member, may have been in danger. If I had known what he really wanted I never would've listened to the message in the first place."

"I believe you." He replied losing the look of anger and taking her in his arms. "I am just glad that I made it back before he got to you and turned you against me as well. We need to leave now. I won't take the risk that he could be tracing us this very instant. I sent Chewbacca back to the main town to gather some supplies, but after that we must leave. Even if I was sure Obi-Wan couldn't possibly track us it is still not safe her."

"What happened?" She questioned gesturing to all the blood splattered on his face and soaking his clothing.

Anakin pulled away slightly in order to look her in the eyes. "I was attacked by a Jedi. He was going to come for you. I had no other choice. I had to take his life."

TBC…

AN: Here is another chapter and I actually really like how this one turned out. There was more Obi-Wan which was fun to write and we got to see Anakin and Padme so I think that is good. I would love to hear your thoughts.
