	Gosh! I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to give you some feedback - I just got caught up with this story. I was way behind! You've taken an interesting turn with this story....Padme becoming what she loathed but filling her own head with justifications for it...wanting so badly to be a mother yet convincing herself that her work is more important because she is doing it for her family (what EVERY working mother thinks and feels)...and trying so hard to erase Anakin's dark deeds that she has to commit some of her own to feel as if she is succeeding - it's all brilliant and so true to life. You understand human nature like nobody's business, my friend. Unfortunately, this is what happens to a lot of people who want to make the world right, who feel it is their duty to hoist the world's problems onto their shoulders, to please and soothe the ones they love even if it means their own downfall - such is Padme. She is a chameleon - changing into anything for the one she loves, out of love for him - to make him more comfortable around her. Yes, I know this all too well... And now with Anakin's darkness melting away before her, she is realizing just how much of a monster she has become. Beautifully told. Can't wait for more. p.s. Two phrases that were yummy to my ears - "whose practiced arms engulfed the child easily" and "feeling his arms automatically unfold her, even in his sleep." I love the imagery of Anakin unfolding Padme and I love that his arms are practiced, not just strong and muscular, but at holding their child . You're becoming a great writer! -AnakinsLuv -----signature----- "Jedi nookie? Sith nookie?

	Hello, everyone... Well, first, I'm sorry I left you waiting for so long.... I've had serious RL issues lately and I was outside the fandom life for awhile. And the inspiration kinda left too. But for the two or three people still lurking here, lol, I haven't given up on this story. I will get it done- when I don't know- but I will! Chapter 26 is more or less finished and so should come quite soon, well, I hope. Thank you for still following this! Onto the replies... anakin_luver Padlei...i really don't know what to say...i mean, i think i've praised you in every reply, and i bet you're getting tired of it now but i HONESTLY don't know what else to say except that this story is EXTRAORDINARY. I'll never get tired of it!! lol Thank you so much, dear... You're here since the beginning and it feels really great to see you still here and being so sweet. AnakinLuver Thank you!! Lady_JediSkywalker Thanks!! AnakinsLuv Gosh! I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to give you some feedback - I just got caught up with this story. I was way behind! Don't you be sorry, dearie... I'm so glad you're here! it's all brilliant and so true to life. You understand human nature like nobody's business, my friend. Wow. Thank you... Unfortunately, this is what happens to a lot of people who want to make the world right, who feel it is their duty to hoist the world's problems onto their shoulders, to please and soothe the ones they love even if it means their own downfall - such is Padme. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to show... Padmé does have this need to fix things much like Anakin... p.s. Two phrases that were yummy to my ears - "whose practiced arms engulfed the child easily" and "feeling his arms automatically unfold her, even in his sleep." I love the imagery of Anakin unfolding Padme love and I love that his arms are practiced, not just strong and muscular, but at holding their child. You're becoming a great writer! Aww... Thank you! I wanted to convey the tenderness here, I'm so glad you caught it... -----signature----- 1-ROTS, 2-AOTC, 3-ROTJ/ESB/ANH, 6-TPM Jack: "Rose, you are worth fighting for.

	Hello, folks, as promised and for my 999th post around here... Here's Chapter 26! Not for the first time, I want to thank leia_naberrie for her help with this fic, her unwavering support and her friendship. PS: I'm removing some folks from the PM list. I'm really sorry for the removed people but either the PMs won't work because you haven't opened all those I sent before or you just don't exist anymore... I had no choice... And if any of you doesn't wish to be kept updated about this fic any longer, just let me know through PM. Anyway... I really hope you enjoy the chapter, folks! Chapter 26 Naboo. Home. Memories of happiness and joy there. Anakin Skywalker stole a glance at his wife, eyes fixed on the glass, straining to absorb every single detail from where she stood. She looked hopeful but still unsure. He hoped she would find whatever she was searching for here. He hoped they both could. ************************************** A deep breath. Another. It wasn’t helping. Padmé tried to calm her children but they seemed to be tied to her own feelings in a way she couldn’t fully comprehend sometimes. She felt so tired she gave up and left them in her husband’s care. She hated the way Anakin was looking at her right now. In a concerned way. Strangely enough, she reflected that things were a little bit easier when he was trapped in his dark side persona. At least then, he wasn’t this perceptive. **************************************** Fresh air. Calmness. Something that felt very foreign for one who had been living on Coruscant for so long. The Force was peaceful here, Anakin realized. There was light everywhere, engulfing everything. -And everyone… even him…- The population was welcoming them with all the honors. The young man was convinced it had nothing to do with their new status but rather with Padmé’s popularity. She was welcomed as she should be. His children had been whisked away towards the other entrance of the Palace, under R2’s watchful eye and he and his wife were now waving at the crowd. A small memory came back, of him so young and a terse Master standing next to him. Of a beautiful smile sent his way and the smell of flowers everywhere. . He looked at Padmé who was now glowing. No longer nervous, she looked like a Goddess. The light was shimmering on her brown hair, falling like a cascade on her back. She smirked at him sideways, even though she still retained her regal status. Everything about her truly fascinated him. Turning around, they walked up the stairs of the Palace as some civilians before them. Anakin couldn’t fight a small shiver. All these people welcoming them could only mean one thing. Soon all the Galaxy would be aware of their little vacation. And here he had thought that staying at the Palace would have been possible without all this ceremony. The Emperor darkly reflected he hadn’t learnt that much in all these years. Politicians… He threw a heavy-loaded glance at the Queen who was waiting for them at the top of the stairs. For all her regal demeanor, he perceived the smallest trembling as she looked at him. Good. He would have to explain to her the meaning of discretion. Looking at Padmé sideways again, he realized her own gaze had darkened upon the Queen’s vision. Their gazes crossed, almost in slow motion. The light was receding suddenly, dark shadows falling on her face and everywhere around them. Anakin could hear his own breathing very loudly, his heart beating more quickly as the seconds ticked by. He looked around, overwhelmed, all sounds muted. He couldn’t breathe. There was fire everywhere, hot air clinging to his skin. He blinked, losing his balance. Everything reminded him of his dream inside the ship, Padmé’s dying face printed in his skull. Smoke. No one seemed to notice around him. Padmé was still ascending the stairs majestically, the flaps of her airy gown floating around her. Time was slowing dangerously, the blood pumping his veins. He heard infants cries in the background, felt fear race inside, the coldness crawling up his spine. Padmé fell down. Her delicate hands were clutching her throat desperately. He stayed immobile. She was gasping for breath. She stopped moving, as the Naboo civilians clapped wildly around them… Her big dead eyes watched him silently. In the background he could still hear children crying out in despair. Time moved again. Anakin blinked, the light suddenly blinding him. The sounds came back, the yells and the loud clapping. He was shivering under the hot sun. Padmé stopped at the highest step and turned around, frowning worriedly. Her pale lavender gown was iridescent in the sunlight. Her eyes were searching his in silence. He felt her concern for him flowing down the stairs to him, so vividly she could have been whispering into his ear. He suddenly felt a hand on his arm. “Your Highness?” whispered an aide on his right, trying to stabilize him. The young Emperor jerked away from the touch and groaned something in reply. He was still frowning. It had been his first vision in broad sunlight. Still shaken, he followed his wife through the majestic doors, addressing her a fake smile to reassure her. *********************************** Padmé only addressed a small smile to Sio Bibble as she passed him by. Somehow seeing the old man again hadn’t been really pleasing. In spite of herself, all her being was turned to a single woman. Queen Apailana was leading them inside, with all the grace a Naboo monarch required. The Throne room was as magnificent as she remembered it. A hint of defiance could be visible in the young Queen’s eyes but overall her demeanor was quite distant and indifferent. Like a real Queen. In other times Padmé would have admired her self control, her ability to control her anger and rage at this tremendous welcome from her people. At this invasion of her Palace and her planet by the Emperor and Empress. This regime she loathed so much. In other times Padmé would have admired her devotion to her principles and her people. But right now, there was something close to the sweet feeling of revenge filling her and she wouldn’t fight it. Here was the woman who had deprived Padmé of all her dignity and all she had worked so hard for when she retired her the title of Senator. Padmé hated herself for having such low thoughts but deep inside, she savored her coming back with more dignity and regal attitude than this young woman would ever dream of having. Another thought struck her suddenly as she announced her husband and she would stay in the Palace for the length of their stay. Luke and Leia will love it here. ************************ Anakin had been silent ever since his little ‘absence’ as they ascended the stairs of the Palace. He had looked momentarily distraught and Padmé had seen his fear as clear as the day in his eyes. It had lasted an instant but it had worried her. “Are you alright, my love?” she asked him when they were alone in the Queen’s quarters. She took his flesh hand when he didn’t respond. It was icy. “Ani?” she inquired, watching as his blue eyes lost themselves in the beautiful Naboo landscape in the distance. He seemed to shake himself from his reverie and smiled slightly. “What happened earlier?” He shrugged. “Nothing.” She fought the urge to roll her eyes at his obvious lie. “Really?” He pursed his lips. “I am not satisfied with our arrival.” “Why?” He was about to reply when sounds of crying interrupted them. She excused herself for a minute to soothe her children and help the aides place them in the small beds they had taken with them on their journey. She looked around. The room was fantastic. Asking C3PO and R2 to watch over them, Padmé returned to their bedroom to find Anakin looking out of the open window thoughtfully. “So?” “I had hoped no one would be aware of our arrival.” Silence. Then in a small voice, his admission. “I’m worried about your safety.” She sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his tense back. “I’m safe here with you…” she murmured. Cracking an eye open against the side of his arm, she silently admired the vast expanse of water in the distance, the way a bird flew right by their window, the peace the whole place exuded. Mind-absently, Anakin’s gloved fingers were stroking her arms. “I don’t want you to exit the Palace,” he said after a long silence. She heaved a sigh against his tunic. “My family highly dislikes the Palace,” she explained, getting out of their embrace and placing herself next to him to look into his eyes. His jaw was clenched and she knew it would be hard for him to concede this point. “To them it embodies everything that always kept them from me. When I was Queen, they had to come here to see me-” “Now you’re an Empress.” He interrupted roughly, as if to further prove his point. Padmé tried not to let her frustration show. “I’m trying to get closer to them, not drive them away from me, Anakin… If I don’t visit them in their home, my home still, they will think I’m more distant than ever…” She moved closer, one hand resting on his arm. “Ani… Please, this is the only thing I’ll ask of you here. Perhaps we could travel secretly.” He snickered. “As secretly as when we arrived?” “That was the Queen’s doing, I suppose,” Padmé replied, trying not to show her dislike of the young woman. “This time we won’t involve the Palace staff. Just the four of them…” Anakin looked away. “I’m sorry, I can’t risk anything.” He looked her in the eye again. “I want you to stay in the Palace all the time, have you understood?” Force, how she hated when he took this tone with her. “Fine”, she conceded. “I’ll have to inform my family about this.” And with that, she left him at the window, trying to calm her anger. **************************** Fortunately, her mother had responded to her call. Jobal had looked disappointed but had smiled as they shut down the connection. You looked so beautiful during the ceremony. Padmé smiled at the tenderness and pride of her mother’s small words. She had meant so much more than that of course, but Padmé reflected it was a good beginning. Everything had to be perfect for the dinner she was preparing for her family. The twins were dressed in the most adorable outfits she had found. Leia had been a little bit difficult as she put the small dress over her head but other than that, she was much more at ease than the young woman had ever seen her daughter. Even R2 looked happy to be back on Naboo. Padmé couldn’t help a little giggle when the droid chased after C3PO inside the Palace. Dressing in a light blue flowing dress, she waited as the Queen’s handmaidens put her hair up into a distinguished hairdo. Padmé smiled at her reflection and got up to give orders in the kitchen. Passing by the Queen’s new quarters, something close to shame came over her. Wasn’t she using her position for something she hadn’t even allowed herself when she was Queen? It was bad enough they were more or less annexing the Palace, but organizing a personal feast in the Palace was… Something she shouldn’t be doing. But here she was, behaving like… An Empress. Going back to the kitchen, she instructed a different dinner, something more intimate and profusely thanked the cooks for their help. The Palace was eerily silent as she wandered through the deserted corridors. It reminded her a lot of her youth. Then she would get up and listen to the sounds of the night, finally free of the overwhelming security. The Palace had been both a prison and her own personal space then. Wasn’t it still now? ****************************** Padmé found her husband in deep discussion with one of his Admirals in the Throne Room. She waited in the dark against a pillar, knowing full well he could feel her presence. The issue of the current war in the Outer Rim was brought up and Padmé grimaced. Anakin would quickly realize she had meddled with his affairs when he wasn’t looking. The holo conference was soon ended. They stayed silent for a while. “I would appreciate you not giving orders to the military, Padmé.” He didn’t sound very angry, rather frustrated and Padmé left the pillar she was leaning on to join him in the dim light. “I was only trying to help,” she said simply. Anakin was looking at her silently, clearly undecided on what to tell her. Before he tried to seek too much information, she came closer and shyly showed her attire. “What do you think?” She grinned as he slowly started to notice how she was dressed. He looked shy all of a sudden which was very rare these days. “I can’t think of any words to convey how I feel about you,” he only said, watching her with adoration. “That must be a first.” Padmé waited. The chuckle she was counting on came all of a sudden, surprising and so welcome right now… They looked at each other silently for a while, Anakin’s gaze suddenly very soft. He crossed the distance between them, wearing something close to mischief on his face. She couldn’t breathe. How long had it been since she spotted such an expression on his features? She didn’t have the time to ponder this. Before she could think, Anakin had taken her into his arms, pressing her against the pillar she had only left a few moments ago. Hungry kisses fell on her neck and she couldn’t hold out the small but uncharacteristic giggle leaving her lips. “You’re going to ruin my dress…” she murmured against his neck, her hands betraying her and slipping inside his tunic to caress the skin underneath. His lips slowly ascended to her face and she gripped the now short strands of hair to meld her mouth with his. He pulled away long enough to truly look at her in the dim light. Was it curiosity or contentment she could read in his blue eyes? She watched him slowly decide it didn’t matter as his lips descended upon hers again. Padmé gave a muffled sigh of soft pleasure, shutting her eyes tightly and reaching up to circle his neck with her arms. Anakin murmured her name against her neck in such an intense way her knees quickly grew weak. She was now the one kissing him passionately, which he returned with equal fervor. Hands buried in his hair, gloved fingers on her back, straining to get closer… In the background, she heard some voices in the corridors and realized her family would arrive soon. Regaining some control of her mind, Padmé reluctantly escaped his kisses. “My family will be here in any minute.” His gaze refocused on her with some difficulty as he panted slightly. She figured she must be flushed as well right now. A sigh. “I see.” She kissed his jaw tenderly before pulling away from his embrace. He let her go reluctantly. She glanced over her shoulder. She loved the look on his face as he watched her walk away towards the dinner room. Rearranging herself in front of the mirror, Padmé cooed to the twins in their little hover chairs. With a secret smile, she realized she felt more carefree than she had in a very long time. ********************************** Padmé’s family arrived soon enough. She rushed to the back door entrance to see her loved ones ushered in by the Royal guards. A genuine smile settled on her face as she walked towards them quickly. But her smile dropped slightly when she realized one important person was missing. Her father hadn’t deigned to come. Even though she had seen it coming, it still hurt. Hiding her disappointment, she placed a grin on her face and joined her family. Her mother, her sister and brother-in-law and their two children were standing a little bit away, clearly ill-at-ease. For all her façade, Padmé couldn’t find a single word to say, instead clasping her hands and standing there uselessly. If her mother was trying to smile tentatively, Sola and Darred were both sporting grim looks which didn’t help. Except for soft hellos, the place was deathly quiet. For once Padmé yearned for C3PO’s skills for etiquette. As if on cue, the golden droid appeared out of a hallway and saluted everyone, bowing deep. Her family watched him curiously as he started to explain to them the various stages of the evening she had prepared. The little girls looked fascinated by him and Padmé sighed in relief as a reluctant smile came to her sister’s face. “Your Highness,” he chimed in, addressing her. “If we may now… The dinner is ready!” Instantly, the awkward silence settled again. She could feel resentment grow on their sides at the mention of her title. Padmé’s face fell. Motioning for them to come, she tried not to let her feelings sink with the coldness of their welcome home. Upon arriving in the dinner room, she watched as a displeased expression fell on her sister’s face who had recognized the place instantly. Sola’s face soon lightened up though when she spotted Leia and Luke in their hover chairs, watched by R2 faithfully. Thankfully, the twins were very quiet for once. Padmé stroked their hairs tenderly as she watched Ryoo and Pooja squealing together, glimpsing the little droid. They rushed past Padmé to embrace R2 who was beeping happily in remembrance. The girls turned away from the droid soon enough to face their aunt and watch their cousins with a shy smile. Luke opened his arms to Ryoo who smiled with delight. Hopefully, the girl turned to Sola for permission. Reluctantly, her mother motioned for her to accept the boy into her arms. Sweetly, Padmé took her son into her arms and guided the girl’s hands around the small body. “Oh… He’s heavy…” Ryoo muttered. All adults laughed slightly and the atmosphere felt much warmer suddenly. Jobal came closer and took Leia into her experienced arms. As Darred and Sola came to admire the twins, Padmé felt two little arms around her waist. Pooja looked up at her and beamed with all the innocence she still possessed. The young woman blinked away some tears and knelt down to hug her tightly. “I missed you, Auntie…” Pooja whispered in her ear. Padmé couldn’t speak and only hugged her closer. Slowly, Ryoo gave Luke to Sola, who held the boy close, to kneel down with them and embrace her tightly. When Padmé had overcome her emotion, she let go of her nieces, addressing them a bright smile and wiping away the tears on Ryoo’s face before standing up to take her mother into her arms tightly. Against her, Leia was babbling some words. Jobal was doing her best not to cry and slowly put the girl into her hover chair again before turning back to Padmé and hugging her tightly. This time, the young woman really thought she was going to cry earnestly. This was really home. Raising her head while still in her mother’s safe embrace, her gaze crossed Sola’s. Her sister was still holding Luke and cooing to him. A tentative smile settled on her dear sister’s face and Padmé smiled in return. Pulling away from her mother’s embrace, she watched as her mother cupped her face tenderly. “I’m so glad you’re home again, sweetie.” “So am I, Mom,” the young woman replied with emotion. The moment was broken. Padmé felt him before he even entered. He had probably tried to make his entrance quietly but he had this presence about him that seemed to suck the air out of the room. All eyes turned to the entrance when Anakin stepped inside. If the atmosphere had seemed a little bit warmer for a while, it became cold again. Jobal was eyeing him up and down. Sola and Darred were looking at him with thinly veiled hatred. Ryoo and Pooja looked terrified. Out of the corner of her eye, she could swear 3PO and R2 were exchanging something close to a meaningful glance. Clearing her throat loudly, she decided it was time to take matters into her hands. “Mom, Sola, everyone… You remember Anakin?” Walking towards him, she took in his slightly embarrassed expression and seized her husband’s gloved hand in her own. “My love, you remember my family.” “Hello,” Anakin said formally. There were several words muttered in reply. Something close to a hello in return. How different from her first introduction of him to them… Padmé had a bad feeling about the evening to come. -----signature----- 1-ROTS, 2-AOTC, 3-ROTJ/ESB/ANH, 6-TPM Jack: "Rose, you are worth fighting for.

	Oh my, I'd have a 'bad' feeling too! Strange how Anakin can be so 'shy', and then so ruthless the next instant, but I've notice a slight change in his demeanor. It's Padme who's worrying me now. I hope we won't have to wait as long for the next chapter.

	So happy you updated. Loved the chapter. But I'm such a wimp, I read the last few paragraphs with my fingers over my eyes. Every time I read a new chapter I think of how far both characters have come since the beginning of this story. And with every new chapter you surprise me, or I should say, Anakin and Padmé keep surprise me. Sometimes I forget how young Anakin still is, but in this chapter, seeing the way just being on Naboo affected him and seeing him meeting Padmé's family again, reminds me how young he is and how young he still looks. It must be odd for those on the outside looking in to see this very young man as Emperor and a ruthless one at that. I'm loving Padmé in this chapter but I agree her progression worries me. Especially when it comes to the Queen. I get her feelings of revenge and even smiled a bit but the scene were she was (silently) comparing herself to Apailana struck me. Padmé hates what she is becoming but she can't help it or see a way out. I feel for her but I still worry. Anakin having visions in daylight? Not good. Not good at all. It was chilling to read. But I did love Anakin and Padmé sharing a mutual moment of distaste for the Queen on the stairs of the Palace. It tickled me. Lovely and thought provoking as always. bran

	Wonderful update, and thank you for not forgetting this story! Seeing things from Padme and Ani's point of view, I can actually really sympathize with the dark side actions, which is part of the genius of this story. It's not like they're trying to abuse their power, particularly with staying in the palace, it's just that safety is an issue and everyone's treating them like s*** anyway (except the Naboo citizens, I guess--it was good to see someone still appreciates Padme) That was a really sweet and sensual scene against the pillar too. You know if you have a PM version I'm interested. I'm so sad for Padme with the way her family is treating her and Anakin. So they may not approve of the politics, but do they have to treat her and her husband so coldly? They're still people, and family at that. I couldn't believe her dad wouldn't show. Aren't parents supposed to love their children unconditionally? Shame on him. Update soon! -----signature----- Fics in profile; ask me to unlock ~I did nothing.
