Padme woke up to the sound of birds singing and one of her house servants humming in the other room, as she was opening the curtains and windows in the sitting room.
The door opened up, and the younger woman came into the room. She went over to the chair and picked up the dirty clothes that was stacked on it. Then, she headed out of the room and going over to the small laundry basket that was next to the door. Padme sat up and stretched, just as the woman came back into the room.
Good morning, Ladelle. Padme called and startled young woman.
Oh! Good morning, Milady. Ladelle turned and faced the bed to see her mistress awake and sitting up in the bed.
I am sorry that I gave you a startle. Padme pushed the covers back and swung her legs over the edge of the bed and she stood up.
It was ok, Milad., I should have noticed that you were awake. Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. Do you want me to bring it up here or do you want to have it downstairs, in the dining room? Ladelle went over to the windows and opened the curtains. Then, she open the windows, so that way, the fragrances of the flowers that were blooming just outside her windows, would come in.
I believe that I will have it in here. Could you please let Jedi Skywalker know that he is invited to have breakfast with me, here in my quarters? Padme walked to the end of the bed and grabbed her robe, before heading off to the refresher.
Yes, Milady. Ladelle bowed her head, before she went over the bed and began making it. Then, going over to the closet, she got the clothes for Padme to wear for the day.
Five minutes later, Padme was out of the refresher and was buttoning up the last couple of buttons on her day dress, when she heard a tap on the door. Ladelle came into the room with a tray that had Caf cups and Caf pot. She went over to the buffet hutch and sat the tray down, before taking the pots off of the tray and then heading over to the small table. She put the two cups down on the table, before she set the table for the Senator and her visitor.
I will get the door. Padme nodded to the young woma,n as she went over to the door and opened it.
Good morning, Padme. Mmm, the Caf smells good. Oh and thank you for inviting me to have breakfast with you, here. Anakin bowed his to Padme, as he came into the room.
You are so very welcome. Please help yourself to a cup of Caf. Breakfast should be up here in a few minutes. Padme closed the door and motioned him over to the hutch, where the pot of Caf was sitting, before heading over to the windows and looking out over the lake.
I will go and get the food, Milady. Ladelle nodded over to Anakin, before bowing her head to Padme.
Thank you, Ladelle. Padme nodded to the young lady, as she opened the door and headed out of the room.
This is great Caf. Not like the stuff they have at the Temple. So, what do you have planned for today? Anakin went over to the small table and sat down.
Thank you. It is grown in the mountain region, here on Naboo. Well, I do have some work to do today, but I have thought about what we talked about the other night. Well, Anakin Skywalker, I would be very honored, if you become my husband. Anakin, would you marry me? Padme turned away from the window and smiled at Anakin.
You want me to . . . Yes, I would be very honored, if you would become my wife. I would love to be your husband. Anakin smiled at Padme and there was a tap on the door. Ladelle came into the room with their breakfast and she put the covered dishes down on the plate.
I will come back in hour to pick up the dirty dishes, Milady. Ladelle bowed her head, before heading back out of the room.
Padme came over to the table, sat down and uncovered the plate and found an omelet sitting on her plate.
I want to get married tonight, at sunset. I can get the Holy Man up here, and he perform the ceremony. Padme cut up her omelet and put a piece into her mouth.
Sure. I would love to get married tonight, but what about your servants? Anakin also put a piece into his mouth.
They have the nights off and it is only us. The only time they are here at night, is if I have a party. Padme picked up her cup and took a sip of her Caf.
Oh, ok. Then tonight, we will get married. I believe that R2-D2 and C3-PO should stand in as witnesses. Anakin took another bite of his omelet.
That sounds good to me. Padme nodded at Anakins idea, as the droids acting as witnesses. When they get back to Coruscant, they can have the droids' memories wiped clean for todays events.
After breakfast, Padme went into her office and made arrangements for the Holy Man to arrive, after all the servants leave the house and go home for the evening. Once she made the arrangements, she began doing some Senate work.
Five hours later, Padme and Anakin were standing on the balcony, next to the railing that over looked the lake. Padme and Anakin exchanged wedding vows, in front of R2-D2 and C3-PO as their witnesses.
