"What do you mean you only have a clinic?" Anakin was about ready to kill the woman he was talking two via the holo-com. After Chewbacca had managed to wake him up he had gotten in touch with the nearest planet hoping they would have a med center, but his hopes were dashed. "My wife is in labor with our first child and you're telling me that you only have a clinic and your doctor is gone on vacation?"
The young woman flinched at the tone he was using. "I'm sorry sure, but yelling at me is not going to change the situation. Our nurse is very capable and we have a med droid who I am sure would be able to help with the delivery-"
The 'Chosen One' cut off what she was aying before she had a chance to finish. "I am not letting a nurse handle the birth of our first child and if I wanted a droid to deliver the baby I would have the droid I own do it because at least I know he is capable. "We will hand this on our own, thank you for nothing."
He clicked off the transmission before heading to the quarters he shared with Padme. Her screams filled the air and he dreaded going in to the room, but knowing that he would not miss the birth of his child. His wife needed him and he was going to be there for her no matter if the situation made him uncomfortable or not. Taking a deep breath he entered the room to find Chewbacca holding Padme's hand as C3PO crouched at the end of the bed and mumbled something about human's being rather messy when they reproduced. If he hadn't been so worried about his wife and child, Anakin probably would have laughed at what the droid had said. He supposed that to a robot birth would be rather messy.
"Anakin, it hurts!" Padme cried when she saw him and he hurried over to her side gently pushing the young Wookie out of the way so that he could hold her hand. "I know childbirth is supposed to be painful, but I never thought that it would be this bad. What if something is wrong with the baby? What if he doesn't make it?"
Anakin had a lot of the exact same fears his wife did, yet he did not say them out loud because she already had enough on her plate for the time being. When he had been panicking, she did her best to keep him calm and so now he would do the same for her if he could. "Nothing is going to happen, Padme; you have to trust me on this. Our baby is going to be fine and she will be healthy."
Padme nodded with a smile that came out more of a grimace due to the pain. "You are still confident in your belief that it's a girl aren't you? I cannot wait to see your face when you realize she is actually a he."
"Miss Padme," C3PO interrupted the conversation in a nervous voice. Then again he was always kind of nervous so neither human took it as a sign that they should be worried. "I am going to need you to push on the next contraction. Master Anakin if you could count to ten so she knows when to stop pushing that would be much appreciated."
As soon as the contraction came the former queen of Naboo squeezed her eyes shut, gritted her teeth, and pushed for all she was worth. She felt as if she was being torn in two, but even then she did not stop pushing until her husband had reached ten in his count and when she did the sweetest sound ever reached her ears. It was the sound of her child crying. "Is he okay? Is Luke okay?"
C3PO quickly cut the cord and wrapped the newborn child in warm towels. "Oh Miss Padme he is completely fine and you were right about having a boy."
As happy as Anakin was he couldn't believe that he'd been wrong about Padme having a girl. He'd been so sure about it being a girl, he could have sworn that he sensed it through the force. "A boy? Are you sure it's a boy and if you are then are you sure there isn't another one in there?"
The new mother would have laughed had it not been for the sharp pain which torn through her stomach a few seconds later. "Ani, something is wrong! It shouldn't still hurt like this. I feel like I need to push again. I have to-I can't-"
She was pushing again and not two minutes later another wail filled the room and the golden droid held up a second squirming bundle. "A girl! Master Anakin you have a son and a daughter!"
"I was only joking when I asked if there was another on in there." Anakin was pale as he looked at his daughter. It wasn't that he was unhappy they'd had twins; he was just surprised is all. Leaning down he pressed a kiss to his wife's sweaty forehead. "This is-it's-Padme, this is perfect! You gave me not one child, but two! We have a Like and Leigh can you believe it?"
Padme smiled tired as she took the babies in her arms once C3PO had gotten them all cleaned up. "It is hard not to believe it when I am holding my two perfect angels in my arms. I had no idea that I was pregnant with twins. This is indeed a wonderful surprise. Are you happy Ani?"
"More than happy my love." He assured her gazing down at his family in wonderment. He had a family, a perfect little family. It was something he had never really thought he would have until he married Padme. "Though I guess that means nobody really wins the bed since you had one of each."

AN: I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter. The twins are here! I was so excited to finally write this. I would love to hear your thoughts on this chapter. Also, what do you all think about Disney buying the rights to Star Wars? I have heard a lot of different views and I would love to hear yours on this matter. Also in the next movies they are coming out with that focus on Luke and Leigh's kids, who do you think the villian will be?
Please R&R like always!
