I love the way you set the last post up. This way I can get mad at the Council and blame them for Anakin's fall and still love Yoda and Mace Windu! If only that were the truth.

Are you really going to have Obi-Wan give Anakin the silent treatment for a while still? I know it probably fits in the story, but that is so horrible. Can I assume the next post is Padme's?

This is Kathryn's post! grin Just posting it for her wink So here's the first Great Post Kathryn tongue wink
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello Mother," Padmé said softly. "How are you?"

"I'm doing quite well," Jobal answered, her dark eyes bright, even across the holovid screen.

"That's good to hear," Padmé replied, trying to keep her voice steady. "And the rest of the family?"

Jobal smiled warmly. "They're all wondering when you and Anakin will both be back on Naboo. The girls keep asking when he'll come visit again, so they can go for a ride in the speeder with him."

Padmé smiled faintly, remembering the giddy screams of delight that had filled the air while her husband took the girls on a terrifying, for Padmé and the adults, anyway, ride through Theed. The girls had loved it, though, and so had Anakin. And Jobal, Ruwee, Sola and Padmé all knew that nothing could ever happen to the girls while Anakin's care. He was too good a pilot, and too powerful a Jedi, for anything to happen.

"Soon, actually," Padmé replied, swallowing at the reminder of just what her husband was giving up for her. "Anakin and I are leaving this afternoon. I -" she trailed off unable to continue.

"Padmé what is it?" her mother asked worriedly. But as soon as the question was out of her mouth, Jobal knew the answer, and her eyes went wide. "Oh, Padmé," she breathed softly. "How?"

"We don't know," Padmé answered quietly. "Anakin is meeting with the Council now, awaiting their decision. But we know what it will be." She swallowed hard. "We've always known," she added softly.

Jobal’s breath caught. She hadn't missed the implication of Padmé words, and she was amazed for a moment by the depth of the love that her daughter and her son-in-law shared.

"What will you do?" Jobal asked.

"We're going to come back to Naboo," Padmé answered easily. "Anakin loves it there and it's my home. We've discussed our plans for what to do if they ever found out, and we agreed Naboo was the best place for us."

"You must stay with us, then," Jobal insisted. "At least until you find a place of your own."

Padmé smiled in relief. "I was hoping you would suggest that, Mom. We'll be there soon. Anakin should be back any moment, so I should go pack. I’ll see you when we arrive."

"We'll be expecting you," Jobal said. She flashed her daughter a brave smile. "Be strong Padmé, you and Anakin both."

"We will, Mom," Padmé promised. "I love you. See you soon."

Padmé signed off, sighing wearily, her hand resting on the comm-unit for a long moment as she gathered up her strength. Letting out a deep breath of air, she walked over to the clothing locker and took out a traveling case for some of her things, just what she would immediately need. She could send for the other belongings later.

As she began to pull out her clothes and fold them on the bed, her eyes wandered over to the hidden door of the secret closet where Anakin kept many of his clothes. He had a closet in his rooms at the temple, but he kept very little there other than his Jedi wardrobe.

Padmé's chest tightened and a lump rose in her throat. Swallowing, she shook away the sad thoughts creeping their way into her mind.

But she could not shake away the tears creeping their way into her eyes.

Resolutely she took out a case for Anakin as well and laid it on the bed alongside her own, then set to packing their things.

Good Lord, you guys really are trying to throw me into a depression, aren't you? wink

Actually, although that post was extremely (extremely I repeat) sad, there were touches of hope in it. Just the idea of Anakin and Padme's love and how strong it is makes me feel somewhat better. Their determination to stay together is touching, her resoluteness as she packed admirable. happy

Of course, the next part will probably be Anakin, and then I'll be cursing you guys for making me cry again! cry

I didn't think that post was that depressing considering we got to see the steely determination and love that Padme has about Ani and their marriage. Great job Kathryn. I'm sure I'll be back to sobbing with the next post.
