Part One

The Box

?Your majesty...? Anakin exhales sharply as the door is opened with a flourish
?Leave Me,? he orders, his tone cold
?Your Majesty? the man bows, scurrying away quickly, fearing the king?s wrath. With a sigh Anakin continues through the door, stopping as he hears the children?s voices
?I can?t believe you sent her a letter? Anakin tenses, Leia, his little joy...and his anguish
?Why I thought it was nice...? says the boy defensively, Luke, Anakin thinks in derision, although it was easier to call him...the boy
?What did you write in it...?
?I?m not telling....?
?Now children? Anakin snorts, at the voice of his old schoolmaster
?Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben? pipes Leia?s childish voice
?Yes Leia?? murmurs Ben with amusement
?Luke?s been writing love letters?
?Oooh? laughs Ben
?It?s disgusting,? murmurs Leia
?So who is she??
?M-a-r-a...? singsongs Leia
?The red headed one...?
?Yes? giggles Leia
?Oh?
?Well what else was I meant to do?? Luke demands ?She just ignores me...? he mutters sullenly
?Wonder why? giggles Leia
?Now Leia...?
?And Uncle Ben...?
?What Leia??
?You should see the way he looks at her all gooey eyed....? she makes gagging noises
?Huh you should have seen your father...? laughs Ben. Anakin tenses by the door, a flash of pain searing his heart
?Did Daddy look at Mummy gooey-eyed?? murmurs Luke softly
?Oh yes...? chuckles Ben
?I wish she was here...? Anakin rests his head against the door fighting tears
?Bet that was disgusting too? laughs Leia
?Huh!? snaps Luke ?You?re just jealous Han doesn?t look at you all gooey-eyed!? There is a long silence. Anakin peers round the door to see Leia turn away head bowed, lips quivering
?I?m sorry Leia,? murmurs the boy, immediately contrite looking ?Don?t cry...I didn?t mean it honest...? wrapping an arm around her shoulder
Leia shrugs returning the embrace. They break apart, Leia wipes her cheek discreetly
?So what did you write?? she murmurs
Luke shrugs, looking embarrassed
?What gave you the idea anyway?? laughs Leia
?I found something?
?What what?? squeals Leia
Anakin frowns leaning forward in interest as the boy rushes to a side table, handing Leia a box
?What is it??
?It?s Mummy?s? Anakin shoots up, charging into the room
?Where did you get that?? he roars the children, and Ben look at him worriedly
?I...I...?
?Answer me boy!?
?I....?
Anakin? entreats Ben
?ANSWER ME!?
?In Mummy?s room...?
Anakin growls in rage
?What were you doing in there? You are NOT allowed in there...?
?I know...?
?I TOLD YOU NEVER TO GO IN THERE!!!?
?Anakin, they?re only children? murmurs Ben
?What were you doing??
?Looking for Leia...we were playing hide and seek...? whispers the boy head bowed, trembling with fear over this blond god with sparking eyes. He feels sadness fill his heart, why did he always see him thus? Sometimes he was not like this, sometimes he could be sweet and nice, soft gentle smiles...tinged with sadness the boy concedes, but they were there. He sighs, but then those smiles were not for him, they were for Leia. He was just it, the boy...the unloved.
?What?s in the box?? murmurs Leia boldly, breaking the tense silence ?Mommy?s jewels?? she stands on tiptoe peeking at the box with unconcealed glee
?You are never to go into that room again,? Anakin snaps coldly grasping the box, rubbing he thumb over the carving of a rose on the top
?It?s not jewels...? whispers Luke
?Then what??
Anakin gulps opening the box
?Oh, it?s just some stupid letters...? pouts Leia as Anakin gives a soft sound
?They?re not just letters...? whispers Luke tr

 

Part Two

"So you didn't know anything about the box Daddy?" murmurs Leia wide-eyed
"No..."
"Wow"
Anakin pulls away from Luke, stroking some stray tears away
"Wow indeed..." he shakes his head in wonder as he looks at the box again
"I still can't believe it..."
"They must have been really nice..." murmurs Leia "Foe Mummy to keep them..."
"Well I hoped she liked them...I guess she did..." he laughs, stroking his finger over one of the papers
"I never did ask her...I just assumed, she threw them away..."
"What did you write?" she cranes her neck to look
Anakin blushes, as he remembers slaving over these letters, pouring heart and soul into them
"Can I read them Daddy..."
"Maybe one day..." he murmurs closing the lid
"Oh please daddy..."
Anakin smiles ruffling her hair
"Tell us about her..." pleads Luke. Anakin tenses
"Maybe another day..."
"Oh please..."
"I'm busy..." he murmurs waving to the door "I have things to do"
"You're the king tell someone else to do it" mutters Leia cheekily
Anakin laughs scooping her up
"yes milady, any other orders you have for the king..."
"Tell us about her please..."
Anakin sighs
"OK I'll tell you a little bit today..." he concedes unable to resist her pleading eyes "Come on..." he murmurs motioning for the boy to follow he sits on a chair
"What do you want to know..."
"Tell us how you met her..."

 

This is a great story. But I feel sorry for Luke, it seems as though Anakin is resilient to his one and only son.

 

Thanks glad you are enojying it, more tonight hopefully hope you keep reading

 

*Pulling out tissue after tissue*.

Okay, now I?ve pulled myself together long enough, this were so beautiful. I loved it .Few story?s have yet manage bring tears to my eyes but this did.

Keep it up and more soon please .

If you have a pmlist for this one I would love to bee on it . Thank you.

 

Wow thank you so much you are added to my PM list for this fic

 

Poor Luke why is Anakin so mean to him?
Does it have something to do with how Padme died.

 

Quick part, it will get better promise

Part Three

~*The Meeting~*

"Daddy?"
Anakin laughs at Leia's impatient tone
"Tell us Daddy!" she commands, he shakes his head, stroking the hair out of her face
"Give me a chance" he murmurs huskily "Well let's see..." he murmurs shifting Leia on his knee
"It was a beautiful day...glorious sunshine..."
~~~
"Your Majesty..."
Anakin smiled at the woman before him
"Lady Naberrie...." she beams at him curtsying quickly "How kind of you..."
"No! No!" she murmurs quickly "It is an honour..."
"No it is an inconvenience" Anakin murmurs wryly smirking as Lady Naberrie looks at him in horror
"I...I...my home is at your disposal your majesty...I will have food..."
"Why thank you, there is no need...I just need a quick rest...my horse is weary and in need of water..."
"But ofcourse.."
"And it is such a glorious day..." he waves his hand to the garden
"If you would so permit me I would like to take a wander..."
"yes yes" she agrees breathlessly "I will fetch water..." she curtsies again, he bows to her, wiping his brow, he walks down the path into the garden. Humming to himself softly, as the bees buzz around him the sweet scent of flowers filling his nostrils. He stops as he hears a voice singing. He tenses, feeling his whole skin prickle in awareness to that sweet voice. He hurries on wards, he needs to know who that voice belongs to, rushing through the gardens following the winding path. when suddenly he is confronted by a vision a young woman in a violet gown of flowing silk, dark chestnut curls tumbling around her shoulders, gathering flowers humming to herself. Anakin, begins to tremble, his chest feeling tight as he gazes at her. She was beautiful, he knew that even though he could not really see her face, just the curve of her cheek, the outline of her lips. Even those simple things sent a pang through him. Who was she he had to know!!
"Hello" he murmurs, she gives a startled gasp, she is just about to turn when he finds himself murmuring
"You look like an angel" she gives a tinkly laugh raising wide brown eyes to his, with a beaming smile stretched across his lips, he had thought she was beautiful...but that did not even begin to express her loveliness. She is exquisite he thinks dreamily
"Hello...I'm Padme..." the 'angel' murmurs, and in that moment Anakin SkyWalker fell in love
~~~
"White Roses" he murmurs dreamily
"What?"
"She was gathering white roses"
The twins exchange a look
"Tell us more!" they command
Anakin laughs, lost in dreams of a laughing angel

 

Like I?ve already said, I love this. This is soooo beautiful and soooo sad. You are so good at describing there thoughts and feelings. Keep up the wonderful job .

Thank you so mush for the pm, I don?t want to miss this.

 

Part Four

?No? murmurs Anakin distraught, placing Leia down gently
?But Daddy!? she wails
?I...no...Another...? she watches as her father struggles for composure
?Daddy??
?I...? he stutters stumbling from the room
?Anakin!? he ignores his former teacher?s call, as he rushes through the maze of corridors, fighting the ever-ready tears
?Anakin!?
?Leave me!? he roars stumbling towards his quarters, rushing through the door, gasping he falls against a table, cursing as he hears footsteps behind him
Turning to see Ben there, his fury ignites
?I told you to leave me? he spits
?Anakin!? Ben shakes his head ?You must stop this?
?You dare to lecture me,? Anakin roars
?I am saying this for your own good?
Anakin snorts in disgust
?Stop torturing yourself...? Anakin bites his lip turning away ?You have to move on....?
He shakes his head, how dare he say these things to him, who did he think he was?
?Padme is dead Anakin...?
Anakin moans a deep painful sound
?You have to let her go...?
Anakin clenches his fists
?I am so close....? he breathes
?Anakin, stop this, it is madness!? murmurs Ben
?I can not give up now...? he murmurs stumbling over to a shelf, flinging aside some books, he grasps a murky bottle
?Anakin!? murmurs Ben in horror ?You are not...? he trails of as Anakin turns to him, his eyes glowing, almost blind to the older man
?Dark magic....? breathes Ben in horror ?Anakin what are you thinking off ....?
?There is a way to bring her back...I know it...?
?Anakin!? snaps Ben, grabbing the younger man, throwing the bottle onto the floor were the contents hiss and bubble
?What...?? Anakin whimpers trying to scramble towards it
?She is gone,?
?No!?
?I know you loved her Anakin...everybody did...her passing was a great loss...but you need to let go...let her go Anakin...?
?I can?t...?
?This is not how she would have wanted it to be Anakin...you know that...?
?How would you know what she would have wanted...?? Anakin snarls, ?She was my wife?
?I know Anakin...I know...? Ben sighs, ?Anakin, your children are waiting for you....? he murmurs trying a different tack, Anakin scowls ?They want you to tell them about her...? Ben murmurs motioning to the portrait hanging above the bed. Anakin begins to tremble
?It?s their fault!? he hisses, ?I hate them!?
?No Anakin....?
?They killed her...? he sobs
?It was a tragic accident...? murmurs Ben
?Daddy?? murmurs Leia standing at the door wide-eyed
Anakin looks at the small girl her big dark eyes,tormenting him. she walks forward timidly reaching down to her father, he grasps her hair frowning
?Daddy??
?Why do you always have it like this?? he murmurs patting the buns
?I-I like it...?
?You should have it down? he whispers unpinning it, scrambling for a brush, he motions for her to sit on his knee, she does so timidly, as her father begins to brush her hair
?Beautiful? he murmurs stroking it ?Just like your Mummy?s....?
?Did you used to brush Mummy?s hair??
?Yes? he chokes back a sob clutching the girl to him. He looks at her; she was so like her, his love his angel, how could he think he hated her, one so like his darling Padme? No, it was not his princesses fault, it was him...the boy...he thinks.
Scooping her up, he pads over to the bed, pointing to the portrait
?I hope I?ll be as beautiful Mummy...?
?No one could be honey? he whispers ?but you?ll be a close second,? he murmurs gripping her tightly. Leia swallows, fighting the pain his grip is causing, but she daren?t complain, she did not want to anger her father again. She wanted him to tell her about the letters
?Daddy...?
?Come on then? whispers Anakin, face lightening ?Come and Daddy will tell you...?

 

This was the latest review of this story is it honestly that bad ? ugh I just feel like giving up They basically slated my other fics as well Well I'll never get arrogant anyway not with reviews like that but I will continue I'm stubborn like that, so apologies in advance for my bad writing

 

I dont think that's right, and I also dont think that nobody else agree to that message your historys are good,don let somebody who obviusly had a wish to bring you problems with them affect you

On the history, I really like it, but why has Any so much hate directed at Luke? I'm assuming Padme died in childbirth, but to blame his own son?

 

Oh god, Anakin can?t think that Padmés death, what ever happened to her, is the children?s fault, right? I have serious doubt that that is what Padmé would have wanted.

Can?t wait to see what will happen. It?s funny, every time I get this vision in my head about how this is going to end, you come and change it. Well, I still love this and I love the surprises you have.


Thank you so much for the pm.

And don?t listen to people who try to bring you down; it?s not worth it, THEY are not worth it. This story does NOT suck. Trust me.

 

Part Five

With a pounding heart, Luke creeps to his father?s room. Swallowing he inches towards the door, hearing his fathers voice
?It?s their fault!? he hisses, ?I hate them!? Luke gulps fighting tears, so it was true, his father hated him, somehow he had always hoped that it was not true
?No Anakin....? Uncle Ben?s kindly voice denies,
?They killed her...? he hisses he gasps pressing himself into the wall as he hears footsteps, whimpering as he sees Leia standing in the doorway. He tries to call out to her not to go in, not when their father was so mad
?Daddy?? there is a silence, Luke?s breath catches in his throat ?Daddy??
?Why do you always have it like this?? he hears his father murmur
?I-I like it...?
?You should have it down? Luke frowns, what was happening in there, he longed to see
?Beautiful ...Just like your Mummy?s....? Luke tenses at the words. As usual Leia is forgiven, she is not the hated one.
?Did you used to brush Mummy?s hair??
?Yes? Luke smiles as he imagines his beautiful mummy, she looked so sweet and kind, why did she have to go...everything would be so much better if she was here.
?I hope I?ll be as beautiful Mummy...?
?No one could be honey? he hears his father whisper ?but you?ll be a close second,?
?Daddy...?
?Come on then...Come and Daddy will tell you...?. Luke inches towards the door straining to hear
?Yes, Yes!? squeals Leia
?Come on then darling...?
?White Roses daddy? she murmurs
?Hmmm? murmurs his father
?Like these ones? giggles Leia, Luke peers round the doorframe to see his father smiling fondly at his sister, handing her one of the roses
?Exactly? he murmurs, closing his eyes a look of unadulterated joy flashing across his face
?Tell me daddy?
Anakin laughs
?I was so nervous...?
~~~~
?Hello Padme? Anakin murmurs clearing his throat, cursing inwardly to find himself blushing.
She looks at him curiously, as he just stares at her, bewitched by her beauty
?I heard you singing,? he mutters, wincing at the quaver in his voice
?Oh? she grimaces, now it was her turn to blush ?My apologies...?
He blinks at her in surprise
?What for??
?Nobody deserves to be subjected to that,? she laughs lightly, stroking one of the blooms.
?It was beautiful,? Anakin murmurs
She looks at him shocked, unsure of what to say
?Thank you?
Anakin stands looking at her, shuffling his feet. A silence grows as they just stare at each other
?C-can I help?? he murmurs as the flowers overflow in her arms
?Oh...? she laughs
?What are you...?? he murmurs walking towards her heart pounding
?For the table...? she smiles surveying them ?Aren?t they beautiful??
Anakin nods
?Hopefully I can steal some...?
?Steal some..??
?For my room...I love fresh flowers...? she sniffs them
I will have to remember that thinks Anakin
?So did you get lost?? she looks at him enquiringly
?Oh...uh no...?
?Are you visiting my mother...?
?You could say that...?
She frowns
?Sorry, I?ve just realised...I haven?t asked your name...?
?Anakin? he murmurs looking at her tenderly, a soft smile playing on his lips, expecting the smile to be returned, but it is not. She whitens looking at him in horror dropping the flowers
?Oh...?
?Your flowers...?
She ignores him curtseying quickly
?I?m sorry your majesty...?
?No...No...?
?Forgive me, I...I...?
?Padme...? he breathes clutching her arms pulling her up ?Please don?t...?
But it is useless. The beaming girl is gone, to be replaced by a wary one
?It is fine...? he breathes as Padme jumps ?What?s wrong...? he breathes as Lady Naberrie comes rushing into the garden
?Padme!?
?Mother...I sorry...? she looks at her mother wide-eyed
?Padme your sister needs some help in the kitchen...?
?Yes mother...? with that she curtseys to Anakin quickly, rushing off
?Please No wait...?
?I am sorry your majesty...I hope she did not disturb you...?
?I...No...No...?
?Can I offer you refreshment...??
?I...? Anakin trails off an idea hitting him, this could not be it...he had to see her again ?If it

 

I?m speechless, something that doesn?t happened very often. This fic is like a beautiful fairytale. Love it this, this much. Thank you for the pm.

 

Thanks so much More soon

 

Part Six

Anakin follows Lady Naberrie into the house, eyes eagerly scanning the room for any sign of Padme
?Please make yourself at home?
?Why thank you milady...? he murmurs, just in time excitement almost making him forget his manners
?I do hope...if it is not too inconvenient...? he murmurs
?Yes?? Lady Naberrie looks at him wide eyed
?If I might request a look around...? He had to see her again, he just had too
?But of course how remiss of me...I do beg your pardon...?
Anakin waves his hand to quieten her
?No apologies necessary? he murmurs
She curtsies
?Padme!? Anakin gasps, his heart beginning to pound as Lady Naberrie calls for her...his angel
?Yes Mother? Padme comes running into the room cheeks flushed
Anakin, just stares utterly bewitched, Mouth dry, eyes wide
My God, she was even more beautiful than he remembered was that even possible?
Her hair was now tied back, showing more of her lovely face
?Padme...his majesty...?
Anakin bites, his lip, as Padme winces at his title
?Would like to see the house...?
Padme nods. Ignoring his gaze
?Very well? she murmurs, with a curtsey ?If you would like to follow me...?
Anakin steps forward quickly, eagerly
?Your Majesty...dinner...?
?The house first,? he manages to mutter following Padme in a daze
There is a long silence as they walk through a long corridor
?Padme...?
?Your Majesty? she murmurs not meeting his eyes
?About earlier...? he breathes
?I crave your pardon majesty...?
?No...no...?
?You must think me awfully rude...?
?Padme,?
?No offence was meant your grace...? she curtseys quickly
?Padme,? he murmurs grasping her arms, shivering as he feels a shooting awareness fill his entire being
?Padme...? he breathes her name, as his fingers trail over the soft skin, it was like silk, he thinks dizzily
?Majesty?? murmurs Padme a little breathlessly he thought, or hoped. Was she as affected as he? Surely it must be so
?You did not offend me...far from it...you have given me nothing but delight...? he murmurs inching closer towards her. She looks up at him with big doe eyes
?Oh Padme..? he moans leaning towards her, frowning in confusion as she gasps pulling away
?Oh? it takes Anakin a moment to realise there is someone else standing there
?Your majesty...? bows a tall dark haired man
Anakin, nods frowning as the man walks forward, placing a hand around Padme?s waist
?Your majesty...I would like to introduce...Pablo my betrothed....?
Anakin splutters in amazement
NO!!
He would not let this be, he thinks darkly, Padme was his, and there was no way he was letting her go now

 

Wow, I'm really enjoying your story!!! And it's really sad to see that Padme died, but I like how you are telling us the storie behind their love. Excelent job!!

If you have a pm list, I would love to be added!

 

Thanks so much, How are you? you are added to the PM list

 

Oh, force, I just can?t get enough of this story. It just gets better and better.

I wonder how this will go from ?Your majesty...I would like to introduce...Pablo my betrothed....? to ?She was my wife? to ?Padme is dead Anakin...?

Thank you for the pm. I?m going to check out your other story?s now.

 

Padme's engaged, oh no that's not good
Oh and can you please add me to the pm list

 

Part Seven

Anakin gapes at them
"your majesty?" murmurs Padme in concern
Anakin swallows his rage
"betrothed"
"yes" murmurs Padme shyly
"Strange" murmurs Anakin
"How so your grace?" she murmurs wide-eyed
"I do not recall the two of you being presented to me..."
Pablo tenses, Padme looks at him warily
"What do you mean your majesty?" murmurs Pablo smoothly
"Well as you know...it is customary for all betrothed couples to be presented to me..."
"Oh" murmurs Pablo in apparent confusion
Padme looks at him lips quivering
"And I don't recall..."
"We have been betrothed for years..." murmurs Pablo, and in that moment Anakin wanted to rip out his heart
"Since we were children..." Anakin nods, trying to keep his rage under wraps
He nods
"Well, I am sure we will be able to have you presented soon..." he lies smoothly
Pablo beams, while Padme watches him in confusion
"That is sorted then yes?" murmurs Pablo. Anakin gives him a false grin
"Now about the tour..." Anakin manages to bite out
"Oh yes" Padme beams at him motioning him forward. Anakin follows her, deliberately blocking Pablo so that it is he that walks beside her, so that he can drink in her beauty
Pablo is talking behind him, but he ignores the other man too intent on Padme, and how he was going to break their betrothal. it should not be so hard to do...he was the king after all. he wanted her more than anything, and nothing was going to stand in his way...nothing

 

hmmm I wonder how Anakin is going to break the betrothal

 

Great update. Thanks for the pm. So Anakin meets Padmés fiancé, huh. Well, somehow, I feel sorry for Pablo, poor guy, he just turned the king into his enemy. I wonder how this will end .

 

So what's Anakin going to do now??

That was a great update, thanx for the pm, and please post soon
