Procrastination is why it took me so long to write. I hang my head in shame.

Either way here's the next chapter and there are some original scenes in it! Whooo!

Anakin stared out at the jungle as he tried to forget the feeling of terror that he had experienced not too long ago.

He didn't quite like the echoes of pain and misery that was in the air. If he had his way they would be on Naboo and not here. Naboo was beautiful and didn't feel creepy. He and Padme really wished that the Base was there; but no one cared about what he thought.

At least he and the others like him didn't like this place either.

He felt Mace, Shaak and Adi come over to him.

"My Momma's coming back." He told them.

"She will." Mace agreed. "She'll bring someone else with her too." Shaak said thoughtfully. Anakin nodded. Someone like them

Luke shivered as he and Han escorted Chewie to the Detention Block that Leia, the young woman from the message, was in.

Luke decided then and there that he hated the stormtrooper armor. It was a poor fit to begin with and he could barely see anything through the eye pieces.

They walked into a turbo lift and headed for the detention block.

When they got off officers were in the entry area.

"Where are you taking this . . . thing?" The head officer asked with distain. "Prisoner transfer from Cell Block 1138." Luke answered.

The officer looked suspicious.

"I wasn't notified. I will have to clear it."

Luke smiled grimly. Soon they would free Leia, get her off this monstrosity and reunite mother and daughter. After all of that they then could blow this abomination to space dust.

Leia felt something not too far away. She knew that something had just happened and she felt that it was good.

Finally she felt someone getting closer to her cell. She opted to sit up and watch the door. She was soon rewarded with a short stormtrooper.

"A clever disguise but not foolproof," she commented.

The person in the armor quickly removed the helmet and looked at with familiar blue eyes: her son's eyes.

"I'm Luke Skywalker; I'm here to rescue you." The young man in the armor announced.

Leia blinked in surprise. This young man had her last name.

She had done some research and discovered that Skywalker was on the lower end of the scale of uncommon surnames. And those that had it for a surname were of groups that were friece when it came to offspring. They guarded them well and they were always taken care of by family. Giving a child away was unforgivable and having one was viewed as kidnaping.

Leia wondered how Bail had come to find her if all this was the case.

"I'm here to rescue you; I've got your R2 unit and General Kenobi's here as well."

Leia hadn't realized that she had been stunned into silence and then lost in her own thoughts. "Where is he?" she asked as she jumped off the poor excuse for a bed.

If all went well she would escape this abomination, work with General Obi-Wan Kenobi, be reunited with her son and see the Death Star destroyed.

"Come on!" her rescuer said as the hurried out the cell door.

Vader felt some satisfaction that some rebels were attempting to rescue the former princess of Alderaan. He just hoped that they were competent.

Right now he had a bigger Roller Fish to fry: Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He was waiting for his old Master not too far from the Hangar where the ship that the Rebels had come in was docked.

Finally the presence of Obi-Wan drew closer until he knew that he would be there soon.

Vader reached for his lightsaber, ignited it and held it with the blade pointing to the floor.

A minute later the older Jedi came around the bend in the corridor.

Mace Windu jerked as he felt something odd in the Force. It was almost as if an old friend had died. He could hear Anakin crying as well as a few others. He wanted to join them as well but someone had to be strong for the younger ones.

He just hoped that he was strong enough to help them.

Anakin had been coloring with Ahsoka when he felt it: his mother.

He jumped to his feet and raced for the Hangar as fast as his little legs could carry him.

He wanted to hug and kiss her; to hold onto her the best that he could and never let go.

When he reached the Hangar he paused for just a moment as he felt another presence that reminded him slightly of his mother had was like him: male.

He shook his head and raced once again towards his mother.

Luke had a hard time not looking everywhere. It was still surreal to be here with the Rebels.

He watched as an older man came towards them. "You're safe," he said as Leia hugged him. "When we heard about Alderaan we feared the worst."

"We can't dwell on it too long. We must use the information in R2 to help plan the attack." Leia answered.

"Momma!" an excited child's voice called.

Luke turned with everyone in the group as a child about four or so came racing over.

Leia smiled as she scooped the child up with her arms. "Oh I missed you Ani!" Leia said, almost in tears.

Luke felt a smile come to his face at the sight of the reunion. He had done it: reunited mother and daughter.

"Your mother is a brave woman, Ani. You are very lucky to be her daughter." Luke said.

Ani suddenly burst into giggles and Leia blushed slightly.

"I a boy," Ani declared. "My name is Anakin Luke Skywalker."

Luke felt his cheeks turn red.

I'm sorry! I assumed that because they were calling you Ani that you were a girl." Luke said quickly.

Leia just laughed.

"it's alright Luke, many people assume that as well if I don't introduce him as Anakin first." She said with a smile.

"We need to evacuate all unnessacry personal including the children." Leia said as she set her son down.

"Go pack." She ordered.

Anakin nodded and raced off.

Out of curiosity are there any fics that when you read/think of them your stomach churns and you think that you're going to be sick?

I've read two and let me tell you that so far they are good but the clenching stomach sometimes might not be worth it.

Does this one do that for you?
