Padme and Anakin sat together in a quiet room, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their newborn daughter, Leia. Luke, having finished feeding, was sound asleep in Padme's embrace.
Padme: (softly) Ani, Leia will be here soon.
Anakin: (with a gentle smile) Yes, Padme. I …
Anakin: (with a wide grin) She is here.
The door creaked open, and Obi-Wan entered the room, cradling Leia in his arms. C-3PO and R2-D2 followed closely behind.
Obi-Wan: (with warmth) Here is Leia.
Anakin: (smiling brightly) Thank you, Obi-Wan.
Padme: (with affection) Oh, Leia, my baby.
As Obi-Wan approached, Leia, nestled in a cozy bundle of blankets, lay peacefully in his arms. She gazed with wide, curious brown eyes at her parents, her presence bringing an overwhelming sense of joy.
Anakin: (overcome with emotion) Leia...
Padme extended her free arm, welcoming Leia into her embrace, tenderly cradling the newborn against her chest. Anakin, his heart brimming with love, leaned closer, gazing at his daughter with sheer adoration.
Padme: (with tears of joy) Our precious girl.
Anakin: (overwhelmed) She's so beautiful, Padme. Just like her mother.
C-3PO: (respectfully) Master Anakin, Senator Amidala, I am pleased to see you well. You have no idea how worry I was.
R2-D2: beeps and whistles "Nobody cares if you were worried".
C-3PO: Would you please stop you bucket of…
Anakin: (laughing) Ok stop! Both of you or you will wake up Luke. I am glad to see you too.
C-3PO: Thank you, Master Anakin. If you don't need me, I will power down. The journey was so stressful.
Anakin:(smiling) Go ahead.
R2-D2: beeps and whistles "Better call me if you need real help! You are ok though?"
Anakin:(now laughing) Be nice! … (sobering)Yeah buddy… I am ok now. I missed you too.
R2-D2:(while rolling away to a corner of the room) beeps and whistles "Who said anything about missing you?'
Anakin kept laughing softly.
Obi-Wan: (smiling at the family) It is good to see you laugh Anakin. It's been a while since…well…I am happy for you.
Anakin just smiled at Obi-Wan, both knowing that a long conversation was coming.
But for now, Anakin and Padme, surrounded by the presence of their newborns and the familiar hum of the droids, felt an indescribable sense of completeness and love.
Padme: (whispers to Leia) Welcome to our family, Leia.
Anakin: (softly) We love you, Leia. Always.
As the family came together, the force sang it most beautiful music in that moment.
