�What,� Leia said.

�I know it�s hard to believe but I am,� Padme said.

�Our Mother die along time ago,� Luke said.

�When you were about 2,� Padme said.

�Yes,� Leia said.

�I had to�to protect you both.  I had to leave he found me and I knew if Bail raised you you�d be safe,� Padme said.

�Didn�t you love us,� Leia asked.

�Yes as much as you love Anakin�but he knows when I�m around.  I love my husband don�t get me wrong, but he�s evil now and not the man I fell in love with all those years ago so I ran and told Bail to tell you I was dead he agreed and said he�d raise you as his own�I�m sorry please forgive me,� Padme said. 

�Mom we love you and I understand,� Leia said and hugged her and Luke followed.

�Would you like to hold your grandson,� Han asked.

�Can I,� Padme asked Leia.

�Of course,� Leia said and Padme took him.

�He�s look just like your father,� Padme said.

�Is that a good thing,� Mara asked.

�It ok to like him but when him it when he starts to act like him that they should worry,� Padme said.



Leia and Luke were still a little upset that their mother had lied to them and had Bail to her, but then again he adoptive father seemed to be pretty good at that.  The way Padme held Anakin it showed that she had been a mother and Leia could see the longing her eye and the pain that she must have went through the past years.  Mara watched Luke as he stood by his mother and felt his emotions and they were mixed between anger and joy and she knew that wasn�t a good mixture.



�Luke tell me what�s wrong,� Mara said.

�It�s just been an emotional day,� Luke said. 

�Come here,� Mara said and he crawled into the bed and lied next to her.

�I love you,� Luke said as Mara snuggled into his embrace.

�I love you too,� Mara said.



On a planet far away from Alderaan stood tow men one older then the other, but the other had more pain then the other.  It had been so many years since he had been outside of where he was yet something or someone was calling to him.  He looked at his master and then looked back out side.  He knew that his wife was still alive and he knew that he had a son but there was something else something he didn�t know about.  He had to know he had to leave the empire and fine his wife and then his son.



�My master,� Vader said. 

�Yes Lord Vader,� the emperor said.

�I must find my son,� Vader said.

�To them Anakin Skywalker is dead,� the emperor said.

�He is powerful if he were to join us it would make the empire powerful as well,� Vader said.

�Find your son and bring him to me,� the emperor said. 

�Thank you my master,� Vader said.



Vader bowed his head and left for his room and began to get ready to leave for his journey.  He didn�t know but the emperor was sending a spy to walk him so he wouldn�t betray him.  The emperor knew that Padme had a power over him and combined that with his only child he may turn over to good.  For Vader had never become a complete dark jedi for he still held the love for his mother, wife, and child.



�If he betrays me kill his wife,� the emperor said.

�Are you sure he will,� Be�bin said.

�He will betray me I have foreseen it now go,� the emperor said.

�As you wish my lord,� Be�bin said.



Padme had been so happy when Leia and Han had invited her over for dinner and then to find Luke and Mara were also coming made it even better.  Mara and Leia seemed to talk to her for what seemed like hours until Han and Luke brought out the food.  Anakin seemed to know right away who she was and never minded when she picked him up or held him for a while.  Leia felt like her life was on the right track she had her true love, her son, mother, her brother, and a future sister in law what more could she ask for.



�Leia aren�t you going to tell them,� Han whispered.

�Tell us what,� Mara said.

�I�m pregnant,� Leia said.

�Congratulations,� Mara said.

�Luke remember how you taught me close my eyes and feel presence of people,� Leia said.

�Yes,� Luke said.

�Well I was doing that in a room by myself and felt two presence in the room with me I went to the doctor and he said it�s a little soon to tell if I�m having twin or not but I know I am,� Leia said.

�More twins in the family,� Padme said.

�I bet one�s a boy and one�s a girl,� Luke said.

�Well this time Han gets to name them,� Leia said.

�I was think I name one and Luke names one,� Han said.

�Sounds good but we have a few months,� Luke said.



Padme left with Luke and Mara and they started to their apartments and talked after dropping Padme off they went home and went to bed.  Vader landed on the planet and had changed to a pair of tan pants and white long sleeve shirt with a brown vest and his lightsaber hung at his side.  He looked around and gave a small smile it had been years since he had been on this planet and he actually a little happy about seeing Padme again.  He knew the emperor knew that he would follow Padme anywhere even if that meant giving up being Darth Vader and being Anakin Skywalker again.  After two hours of searching he found out where Padme was and went to her first.



�Padme I know you�re here,� Vader said.

�Ani is that you,� Padme said.

�Yes,� Vader said.

�Oh my you look like the man I married,� Padme said.

�I�ve always been the man you married,� Vader said.

�No you changed and for the better�I can�t go back to that kind of life,� Padme said. 

�I love you Padme don�t make me leave without you,� Vader said.

�Life as Darth Vader is empty but life as Anakin Skywalker you have a family,� Padme said walking closer.

�I have a son and you,� Vader said watching her.

�No you also have a daughter, a son-in-law, a future daughter-in-law and grandchildren,� Padme said.

�A daughter grandchildren,� Vader said.

�Yes we had twins and you gave birth to a son�Anakin and she�s pregnant with twins now�her name is Leia and she married a man named Han Solo and Luke is engaged to another Jedi named Mara Jade,� Padme said.

�He�s a jedi,� Vader said.

�Yes he was trained by Obi-Wan and Yoda,� Padme said.

�No I am true to my emperor,� Vader said as she stood face to face with him.

�All I ask is that you look at them and choose then�please do this one last thing for me,� Padme said touching his face. 

�I never could say no to you,� Vader said closing his eyes.



He slept on her couch and the next day Padme got up to see the man she married.  His cold face that he had had all those years ago was gone and the innocent face she had come to love was back.  But she knew that this was not going to be easy if he did chose them a battle between good and evil would take place.  Luke had to face Anakin Vader she knew this but it wasn�t to kill him not it was to bring him back she knew this and so did they. 



�Anakin it�s time,� Padme said.

�I know�they�ll hate me for all that I�ve done,� Vader said.

�Your there father that�s all that matters you�ll see and you�ll get to met an old friend,� Padme said.

�Who,� Vader said.

�You�ll see,� Padme said.



�Mother what is it,� Leia said.

�There someone I want you to meet,� Padme said.

�Of course come in,� Leia said as Anakin began to cry.

�I�ll get him,� Padme said as Anakin followed her in.

�He always seems to know when you�re around,� Han said.

�Ani I want you to meet Leia Solo and her husband Han Solo and their son Anakin Solo,� Padme said.

�Nice to meet you all�I�m Anakin Skywalker,� Vader said.

�Oh my god,� Leia said.

�He�s not here to hurt you,� Padme said.

�We�re here,� Mara said.

�So what so important,� Luke said.

�Luke I�d like you to our father,� Leia said.

�What,� Luke said.



Luke and Anakin met eye to eye and everyone knew that this was the confrontation that was going to take place.  Eye as blew as ice met and dark glares came and Padme motioned for Mara to move.  She could see her husband broken heart be put back together after all these years.  It was going to take their son to being him back to the side of the light fully and she only prayed and hoped it wasn�t to late.  Leia mind was going out of control one day she had no idea her birth parents were alive and now here they were.  Both Anakin and Luke had taken out their light sabers and began to look at each other.



�Please not in the house,� Padme said.

�I don�t think they heard you mother,� Luke said.

�This is it,� Mara said as they began to fight.

�What is,� Han said.

�Luke must confront his father�not kill but turn him good,� Mara said.

�And no matter what Han we can�t interfere,� Leia said as Luke landed on the ground.

�No you die Skywalker,� Vader said.

 

*�I forgive you father,� Luke sent*



As Luke said those word in his mind he remembered when he and Padme discussed having children and when she told him that they had a son.  He remembered there wedding day and the good days that were to follow and as he looked Luke in the eye and raised his lightsaber to kill him how he saw his mother.  How he remembered the look in his grandson�s eyes on a few minutes ago.



�Father you don�t have to do this�you can turn good your choice but I never hated you nor will I,� Luke said loudly.

�Nor will I,� Padme said.

�Or I,� Leia said.



Anakin�s eyes filled with tears as he looked at his son on the ground and his wife and daughter who stood not so close to him.  Memory after memory came to his mind until he dropped the lightsaber on the floor and dropped to his knees and Padme ran to him and took him in her arms.  He held on to her and cried for a few moments and Luke got up and Leia ran to him and gave him a hug and Mara did the same. 



�You both are replacing what ever you broke,� Leia said.

�I�m so sorry how can you forgive me,� Vader said.

�Because we love you,� Padme said.

�And you�re our father,� Leia said. 

�Would you like to hold your grandson,� Han said.

�May I,� Anakin said wiping the tears from his eyes.

�Only if your Anakin Skywalker and not Anakin Vader,� Leia said.

�I am my daughter I am,� Anakin said.

�Then yes you can,� Leia said.



Be�bin watched every move that Anakin had made and gave a wicked smile when he saw that Anakin had turned back to the side of light.  He was once again a jedi but this time he was a Jedi Master not knight and would make sure his son stayed on the side of good and not evil.  Be�bin also had to wit for the prefect time to kill the woman responsible for this if he did Vader may be saved.  He saw his chance when he saw them all walking out of the apartment and to the park and he followed.



�Luke what is it,� Mara asked.

�We�re being followed,� Luke said.

�I know�its Be�bin one of the emperor person assassins,� Anakin said.  

�Great what do we do,� Padme said.

�Act like we don�t he�s here,� Han said.

�Solo right let go over there and seat,� Anakin said.



Anakin and Solo went ahead of the rest and put the blanket on the ground, then Leia and Mara put the food and Anakin toys down.  Luke then sat Anakin down and the blanket when Padme came over to smile at them she then noticed that Anakin had dropped his toy and went to get.  Han and Anakin both looked up and before they could do anything shots were bring fired and Padme got hit.  Anakin ran over to his wife who was lying on the ground while Leia ran and got help for her. 



�Ani d�don�t turn evil because of this�they need you,� Padme said.

�Shh my angel we�re getting you help,� Anakin said.

�I love you,� Padme said and closed her eyes.

�Oh my�is she,� Mara said.

�No she just pass out�it�ll take more then one shot to kill her,� Anakin said putting pressure on the wound.

�It's begun...the fight between the republic and the empire,� Luke said.

�I�ll help anyway I can,� Anakin said.
