; *prays fervently that she doesn't end up killing the topic while EOJ is away*

 

Here's the rewrite.
***********************
Vader steered his daughter toward the refreshment table...out of Palpatine's earshot.

"Adelia."

He paused, uncertain if he should go on. She looked at Lord Vader expectantly, waiting.

"There is something you must know about that necklace...I gave it to your mother, many years ago..."

Adelia's mind raced back, when she was a young child and had asked her mother about that necklace. "Your father gave it to me..."

Her father...Vader was her father...how could this be? He was more machine than man.

"I loved your fater, Adelia, someday, when you grow up, I hope that you'll choose a man who will love and----"

Adeliea turned her mother's voice off. A more cold blooded reaction kicked in. Love? What kind of love existed in a galazy? Her mother had loved her, but she was dead. Love was not to be trusted. You loved someone, and they were taken from you. She shifted her concentration back to study her father.

"Father?"

Vader stiffened for a moment, in surprise, he, after all was unused to people addressing him by that title.

Father and daugter stared at eachother, for the moment too moved to speak. Then Adelia shook herself out of her stunned silence.

"No....my father is dead....his name was Anakin Sky-"

"Never mention that name in my prescense. You are right. Anakin is dead, but irregardless, your father lives. I am your father."

Those words, hitting her like blasts of wind how on Coruscant could mother have loved this man?" Her thoughts were interrupted.

"Adelia, I'm so glad I found you. When I lost my dear wife....I thought she had given me no children. But now, I see so much of her in you, the political savyness, the coolness of voice, and what you get from me: force capabilities, the repressed fear and anger."

Vader noticed that she had accepted the fact, or at least was beginning to and the expression on her face suggested she was ready to move on.

"Speak nothing of what I've told you."
***************************

Empress; who hopes this is acceptable because she has to log off now

 

that was great... I liked it.

* * *

Adiela's expression was quickly returned to its normal, cool steel. Did he thnk her a fool?

"If you believe what you say about me, Lord Vader, you would know better then to have to warn me against that."

She could not see his expression through his mask, but she didn't have to. She could feel the slight, subconscious jolt of hurt when she called him by his title with indifference. Even if he didn't feel it himself.
She knew that if Palpatine was ever aware of her parentage, he would kill her. Just like he killed the rest of her family.
'Just like he's trying to kill my father.' she thought.
Vader was wrong about one thing, and right at the same time. Her father lived, but as weak as he was, so did Anakin Skywalker.
