It was two weeks ago, when Anakin was walking around the small village as himself and saw a hooded figure slip into the dark alleyways, as if they were trying to avoid the crowded streets. He followed the figure and it lead him to a small house, located in the middle of the woods. The figure lowered the hood from her head and there she was: his Angel.
" So, this is where she has been hiding." Anakin thought to himself, as he watched Padme go inside the house.
After following her to her home, he left and headed back to his place, that he bought down by the lake country, when he doesn't want to be around the Emperor. Well today, he was walking around the wooded area, actual looking for some kind of berries that you can use for poison.
" Oh, no, you don't." a woman's voice called out.
Anakin looked over the bush and noticed that he was just outside of Padme's house. There he saw a hooded figure, sitting on a blanket with two babies.
" Luke, don't put that in your mouth. You, silly." the woman said, with a laugh in her voice, as she watched the young boy put a stick in his mouth.
He watched the young boy make a face, as he bit down on the stick. He tried to keep his chuckle low, so that way, the woman couldn't see him or hear him. Then, the another baby began to cry for some reason. So, the hooded figure leaned over and picked up the other baby, putting the child in her lap, and had her sitting up. There was a noise coming from the doorway of the house, so he turned his attention to the door. He watched a hooded figure come out of the house and come over to the woman, that was sitting down with the two children. The hooded figure bent down, picked up the boy, came over to the other figure, bent down, and kissed the figure.
" Ok, I know you don't like this thing." the other figure said, as the young boy began to cry. Pulling off the hood from his head, the person revealed himself.
" See Luke, it's uncle Obie." the other figure said, looking up at Obi-Wan and giving him a warm smile.
The little boy stopped crying and began pulling on Obi-Wan's beard. Then, he smiled as Obi-Wan made a face in pain, trying to get the hair out of the child's hand.
" You know when we are leaving?" Obi-Wan asked, sitting down on the blanket next to the figure.
" We are leaving early tomorrow morning. It's getting way to dangerous for us to be here." the female said, as Leia began to squirm in her lap.
" Ok ... Um, I have something to do, but I'll be here before we leave ... Love you." Obi-Wan said, putting Luke down. Leaning forward, he kissed the hooded figure again, before getting up and leaving the small group.
Anakin turned and headed the opposite way, the same way that Obi-Wan was going and he was almost running through the woods.
" How could she do this to me?... I should have not believed her, when she told me all that stuff, on how she didn't know he was on her ship." Anakin mumbled to himself, as he hurried through the woods. But not really watching where he was going, he ran hard into the person, who was walking along the path.
" Hey! Watch where you are going!" another hooded figure yelled out, as they fell on their bottom.
" No, you were in my way! ... Padme?" Anakin said in total surprise. When he looked down, the person sitting down on the ground was glaring up at him, as the hood of the cloak fell off Padme's head.
" Um ... Anakin? What are you doing here?" Padme asked, as Anakin helped her up.
" I was looking for some berries. What are you doing here?" He asked as confused look came across his face.
" I was on my way home from the market. Um ... what's wrong? You're pissed off about something." Padme said, as she saw the anger leave Anakin's face, but a confused look replaced it.
" If your here, then who was the woman with the two children?" Anakin asked and then noticing fear come across Padme's face.
" Um... you were at my house... Um... that was my friend Sabe`... You remember her... She used to let you inside my apartment." Padme said, as she looked around and saw that it was just them.
" You don't have to worry, it's just me... Um... I somewhat followed you, a couple of days ago... At first, I didn't know it was you, until you got to the door." Anakin said, as he looked down at her and hoped that she believed him.
" I see." was all Padme said. She couldn't think of a way to tell Anakin about the twins.
" Who's children was with her? You never told me about our child." Anakin asked, but the look on her face, told him the truth.
" Well, the children you saw, are ours, Anakin. Luke and Leia. We have twins." Padme said, giving him a smile.
" I... Oh, wow... Twins... Um... I heard that you guys are leaving?" Anakin said, running his hand through his hair.
" Um... it's getting to dangerous for us here. I don't want the Emperor to find them. I trust you, but not him." Padme said, as she reached up and moved some hair from Anakin's face.
" That's a great idea. I did hear him say something about feeling presence in the Force and I could feel them too." Anakin said, taking her hand from his face and kissing it.
" I'm coming back here, but the children will go into hiding." Padme said, as she felt Anakin's arm go around her and pull her closer to him.
" That's a good idea. I feel better knowing that they are not near here, with the Emperor so very close by." Anakin said, leaning his head down and began kissing her.
Padme wrapped her arms around Anakin and held him, as he pulled her closer and she could feel what the kiss was doing to him.
" I better get going. I have to help Sabe` with the twins." Padme said, pulling away from Anakin.
" Ok. I hope to see you, when you get back from wherever you are going. I don't want to know where they are. It's safer that way." Anakin said letting her go, and pulling his hood back up on his head.
" Um... ok. Bye for now, Anakin." Padme said, pulling her hood back over her head and started off towards her house.
Anakin stood there and watched Padme walk up the small hill, before turning around. He headed down to the dock, got into his watercraft, and headed back to his home, in the lake country.
