	Title: Sense and (In) Sensibility Author: AnakinsFavorite Characters: Anakin, Padmé, Obi-Wan, Sabé, the Jedi, the Naberries, assorted handmaidens, Siri, Bail, and many, many more Era/Genre: AU, Humor/Romance Summary: This is the sequel to Pride and Prejudice in which our favorite couple went from being bitter enemies to… being married. Padmé and Anakin thought that everything would be perfect after tying the knot, but they soon learn that it isn’t to be so. Per Anakin’s suggestion, they decide to keep their relationship a secret, but will the resulting chaos tear them apart? Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (references to classes, ect), Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, or Star Wars. I am ‘borrowing’ Wrenga Jixton and created the identities of Miss Talek and Madame DesLauriers. Author Note: Seeing as how this is a sequel, it would be best for you to read Pride and Prejudice first. Chapter One: "Oh Force... We're Married" “Miss me?” a mischievous voice from behind Padmé asked. Before she could even blink, large hands wrapped about her swollen stomach. Despite the way that the deep voice caused her heart to flutter, the young woman was feeling rather impish as she turned around. “You’ve only been gone for a week,” she teased, placing her hands on the lapels of Anakin’s tunic. “Go away for a little while longer and I might begin to miss you… maybe.” Growling, the Jedi laughed and pulled her into his strong arms, burying his handsome face into her endless curls. “Shame on you, Master Skywalker,” Padmé chided mockingly, calling on the title which had been his in the first months of their acquaintance- and one he hated to be called by her. Her seriousness gave way as the young woman slapped lightly at his hands, but she did nothing more to resist his advances. “How do you know that, as we speak, one of our children isn’t watching their father act in such an disgusting manner?” Actually horrified at the thought of that, the Jedi turned around to find no mischievous children watching. “The coast is clear, M’Lady- you are all mine.” “For now.” Still, the stubborn woman couldn’t resist a smile as Anakin gently caressed the place where their new child grew. “I did miss you,” Padmé admitted softly, her dark eyes looking deep into his before she contentedly rested her head upon his chest. “So…” he whispered into her ear purposefully, “how long do you think we have?” Resisting the urge to giggle, the woman acted as if she were deeply considering their situation and replied, “Well, if Ami is in her room doing her homework like she said she is-” “That is a certainty-” “-and the twins are staying out of mischief-” “More than unlikely-” “Then, five minutes.” Triumphant, she gazed up at him. Anakin was silent for one of the five minutes that they had left. “That’s it?” he finally pouted though both of them knew that any time alone together and, regardless of their actions, was precious. “At times like these, it is a pity that our beautiful children inherited your patience… or, lack thereof.” Indeed, the Chosen One was not a patient man- and often, a grumpy one at that. “My dear, you have forgotten- Ami is of my own flesh and blood and yet is the soul of patience… what is your excuse for the twins?” Conveniently, Anakin turned his face so that she couldn’t see him smirking at her. This was just as well- he didn’t see the impish look in her eyes… until it was too late. “Who says that patience has to always be an admirable virtue?” For once, they actually agreed on something and chose to celebrate it with a kiss of such love and longing that… “Hee! Mommy and Daddy are kissing!” ~~~~~ In a Hotel… Somewhere on Coruscant, Early Morning Bolting upright in bed, Padmé sat there in the darkness and clutching at her chest for a few minutes, gasping in the precious air. Her. Anakin. Twins. What had that all been about? Looking down at where her Piloting professor- well, her former one at that- slept, a secretive smile parted the young woman’s rosy lips. Yes, all of that was a possibility… someday. Just a few days into their ‘honeymoon’ or ‘wedding bliss’ as Anakin called it, she didn’t feel like thinking that far ahead. Thinking that he’d been intentionally awoken, the Jedi pulled her back into his arms, groaning into her shoulder, “Too tired… must rest a little… no energy…” Someone needs some decaf she thought wryly, cringing at the remembrance of those awful days when Anakin had given up the source of caffeine- a habit that he was once again trying to break. He was currently failing miserably, and the young woman took a vindictive pleasure in rubbing more salt into the wound. Fortunately, that nightmare of a class is now over… Blinking through the scant light, the Chosen One seemed confused before he finally mumbled, “You’re sleeping on my side of the bed.” Turning her face to look at him, Padmé gave him a withering look. “What, the whole bed… blanket hogger?” Pinching his cheeks, she further taunted, “What do you want to make of it, Master Jedi?” It wasn’t a good idea to tease him before Anakin had drank his first cup of decaf. Laughing and suddenly (and most oddly) wide awake, he began alternately kissing and tickling her, ceasing only when the both of them fell on the floor in a breathless- and sore- heap on the floor. “So, my Goddess Divine,” he teased all the while evading a punch aimed at his arm, “why are you awake at this ungodly hour?” His lament was followed up by yet another groan as he glanced at the chrono. Slowly, his tender side began to show through. “Bad dream?” Anakin’s voice became gentle as he lightly brushed a metal finger down her arm, causing his bride to shiver in delight. Suddenly, she felt embarrassed by the silliness of her dream and momentarily considered brushing it off. “Sort of. I was barefoot…” “Force forbid!” her husband cried out in mock horror, reaching for said appendage until he realized that doing so might be dangerous. “… pregnant…” “Oh, Force…” “… and in the kitchen.” There was an awkward silence as the Chosen One tried to formulate something to say. He should have considered his words a little longer than he did… “Well, that must have been an interesting sight to see.” The scuffle resumed as she punched him in the side- successfully. Still, her Knight weighted considerably more than she, and the young woman eventually became limp. “Well, this is certainly interesting...” Anakin smirked from where he had her pinned down against the carpet. “In what way?” she asked warily, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. There could have been a million things filling Anakin’s mind- namely, their current situation as former teacher and student, or perhaps the difference between years- but the Chosen One had evidentially realized that he’d treaded into uncomfortable waters. Sighing, he stood up and held out a hand. “I’m hungry.” To this, Padmé could only roll her eyes. “You are such an intriguing man, Anakin Skywalker- one minute, you're all but making love to me and, in the next... your attention has gone to your stomach." ~~~~~ Same Place, Their Wedding Night Padmé had stood nervously before the spacious bed for about five minutes before it suddenly occurred to her- she was actually going to be sleeping in bed with him. Anakin Skywalker, all six feet of his surly self, was going to stride out of that ‘fresher, ready when she wasn’t… Why wasn’t she? It had taken her young mind long enough to become accustomed to the fact that the woman was in love with him, but was Padmé ready for this intimacy? The handle on the ‘fresher door turned, causing her to jump. He’ll understand… he’s been married before- and is a Jedi, for Force’s sake! Calm down… Still, it was hard to banish from her mind some of his more gruff moments. “It’s a big bed, isn’t it?” a deep voice from behind her asked. Turing around to give him a shaky smile, Padmé found that her husband of just a few hours was wearing nothing besides his black sleeping trousers and the pendant he always wore about his neck. Instinctively, she gulped and whispered, “Yes… it is.” “You’re nervous.” No audible reply could be heard as the room was filled with complete silence. “Saché was nervous too… she had me sleeping on the couch until she was ready,” Anakin chuckled at the memory, seemingly not realizing how awkward it was to be taking about his former bedroom affairs with his new wife. “And how long did that take?” Padmé asked weakly, standing still in her spot though she supposed this was the moment when she was supposed to move towards him. “About twenty minutes.” This was hardly comforting, and the young woman continued to finger the sleeves of her lacy robe. “If it is of comfort for you to know,” he said softly, placing a gentle hand upon her arm, “I am very nervous too.” Startled, Padmé looked up to find that he too was terrified. The way his baby blue eyes shifted about uneasily revealed his discomfort in being shirtless and in revealing his metallic arm. A dozen or more scars covered his otherwise perfect body- mementoes of battles won and foes killed. “You’re so… young.” To this, she could merely nod. “She also said that, after that, it didn’t feel right to not have me sleeping with her.” Gone was her terror- Padmé could only look up at him with compassion. “Perhaps we could take this slowly,” she whispered. Taking his hand, she led him over to the bed where they both laid in each other’s arms under the covers. ~~~~~ Present Time, Breakfast Table As had become customary, Anakin sat at the breakfast table reading reports while she did… nothing. The young woman had been nominated to plan their outings for the past few days, but seeing as how they had yet to leave their hotel room… Viewing the feast that had been prepared, Padmé commented, “I’d heard about couples who spent their entire honeymoon in their hotel room, but I never imagined that I’d be one of them.” Across the table, Anakin shrugged with a mischievous glint in his baby blue eyes. “They say that statistics show that those couples who do so have longer marriages.” “I’d like to see those sources of yours,” she replied dryly before daintily biting into her shurra fruit. “Why must you always be so cynical of my smartness?” her husband protested, but it soon seemed that he regretted having asked this question- or, he perhaps didn’t want to know her reply- for Anakin cleared his throat and said, “Actually, I was considering whether we should even announce our marriage quite yet.” “Why, are you so scared of your former mother-in-law?” He pretended to be hurt. “Well, it just is… we have earned quite the reputation back at the Temple for being rivals, and our announcement would cause quite the stir- not to mention a scandal.” Frowning, Padmé took a sip of her decaf. “A scandal?” Sighing, the Jedi leaned across the table towards her. “I am your teacher… we got married… you passed my class… are you following that?” She could only nod. Satisfied, Anakin went back to his reading but continued to talk. “Besides… imagine how much fun we could have… if we were to come out, there would be no more private moments between us. We won’t be able to even speak to each other without it becoming public news.” Considering this, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure that you aren’t afraid of someone… or something?” “If you’re now referring to that oversized headmistress of yours, I can assure you that I’m more than capable in facing her in a battle of wits.” This made her grin. “Okay… I’m game, but for how long? “A month.” “A week.” “A month.” “A week…” Pouting, Padmé said, “This is the part where you give into my feminine wiles.” Raising his blue eyes from the datapad, Anakin looked at her with mock incredulity. “What am I to be tempted by? You’re just sitting there!” “A week.” ~~~~~ Coming Next: Our favorite couple returns to the Temple for a few days to find a few surprises… which include wedding plans and a mission.

	I know I've said it before but this was a GREAT start! Love the way you kicked it off with bunches and bunches of Anakin/Padme goodness. It's just what I needed to make me smile as my three-day weekend is coming to a close. happy sigh I love these two - and this story - like P&P - has such an air of romance to it. What a perfect combo! Can't wait for more! Yay!

	At first I wasn't sure if I'd like the Sense and Sensibility sequel, but now I'm certain that I will. Please add me to the PM list. I really liked the breakfast talk...it had a touch of silliness to it (ex. month vs. week) that stuck with me. -----signature----- "Attachment is forbidden. Posession is also forbidden.
