By the time Padme woke up, Obi-Wan had confiscated a ship and locked her in a cell that at one time probably held dangerous criminals that needed to be transported. It was an eight by twelve that had a forcefield instead of bars. A tiny cot was in the corner and in the other corner was a place she could use to relieve herself should she have the need to go to the bathroom. it wasn't exactly cozy, but the former queen of Naboo knew it could have been a lot worse. Since her children were not anywhere she could see, she figured that Obi-Wan had them stashed somewhere and she prayed they were safe.

Almost as if he knew Padme had been thinking of him, the Jedi master came in with a tray of food. "I sensed that you were up and I thought you may want something to eat. It's some mixed fruits since I know it is one of your favorites. Look, I understand you may be upset with me for doing what I did, yet what other choice did I have? I'll let you out once I am sure I've broken his hold on you. Master Yoda has agreed that this is the best course of action for now. We are going to meet him and once we arrive he will try to help you see the truth. I am hoping that you will listen to him because I am just not getting through to you."

Padme scoffed and looked away from him. "You are not doing this for my own good and you know it. You are trying to hurt Anakin in a way similar to how he hurt you. You may not be willing to admit it to yourself, but we both know deep down I speak the truth. You are not even willing to talk to him and try to work this out. How can you pretend to actually care about my safety and that of my children when everything you say or do proves the exact opposite."

He sighed before sitting in a chair that was directly across from where she stood in her cell. "How am I supposed to get through to him exactly? I tried talking to him on Mustafar and he completely ignored it. Someone can only be helped if they are willing to admit they need help."

Padme had a counter all ready. "One would only admit to the fact they need help if they feel someone would be willing to help them. Anakin needs to know you want to help him, but your actions have not show him that. Have you ever thought that maybe the reason he turned his back on the Jedi was because he felt they would not understand what he was going through? I mean he couldn't even tell you about us and you were like his father, so how was he supposed to explain his confusion? He felt as if he had nobody to talk too. You don't abandon the people you care about and you would know that if you ever cared about anyone, but I don't think you've ever truly cared about someone."

"That's Anakin and his corruption talking, not you." He stated leaning forward in his seat. "The Padme I knew would never condone the things he has done. Do you honestly want your children to grow up in darkness? Do you want them to be trained like soldiers for the Sith? I don't think that you do. You've fought so hard to keep diplomacy in tact and Palpatine has destroyed every single thing you believe and your husband helped to do it! He wants everyone in this galaxy under his control. How can you love a man like that?"

The wife of the 'Chosen One' raised her child defiantly. "I can love him because I do not see what you see. I see a man who is lost between two different paths he can take. I see a man who will do everything for his family even if it is not condoned or understood by others. I see a man who has had so many people abandon him and I won't be another one of those people. I love him Obi-Wan; light or dark, I love him and that is not going to change. Also, Anakin would never do anything to hurt the twins. He loves them so much and you would know that if you actually took a moment to watch him instead of judge. You say that I am not acting myself, but I have to disagree with you on that. I feel more myself that I have before. I see things differently and do not see it has a bad thing. It's as if I am seeing everything for the first time in a new light that is untainted by my beliefs, or what they were before it all changed. I think that out of the two of us I know what is best for me. You are the one who is in danger because you refuse to open your eyes. I think we are done here for now unless you are ready to give me my children back and set me free, I am no longer feeling conversational."

"I am sorry you feel that way Padme, I really am." He told her sincerely before standing up and heading out of the room. "I do hope that while I am gone you will do some thinking and come to see that I am right. I don't want to have to be forced to take more drastic actions, but I will if you force my hand. If I have to split the twins up and send them away to keep them safe from Anakin and the emperor then I will do exactly that. I would rather keep them with you, and yet that will only happen when you truly come to terms with the fact that Anakin has embraced the dark side and there is no coming back from that no matter how much I wish it were possible."

"You're the one who is blind." She whispered back sadly and shaking her head. "No matter how many times you leave and come back, my mind is already made up and if you do anything to hurt my children or take them away from me, you will wish that you were facing off with every remaining Sith out there. You never back a mother in to a corner and you'd be wise to remember that the next time you use my children against me in a threat."

AN: I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter. I got some really bad news from my doctor today and writing helps to distract me. Someone asked me what exactly is wrong with me and since they did not sign in I decided to answer in this AN. They wanted to know if I have cancer and no I do not. I actually have a blood disease and liver disease. I need a liver transplant and today I found out I have an aneurism in my hepatic artery and so they are debating what they should do. If you have more questions I will try to explain better.
