Anakin Skywalker was currently watching the the asteroid belt of Polis Massa cross through the stars, unable to stop thinking about the horrific events that he had seen take place earlier that day. Today, a day that should've been the happiest day of Anakin's life, the day of the birth of his twin son and daughter, Luke and Leia Skywalker, but today was also the day the Jedi Order had been wiped out, exempting himself and Jedi Master Yoda, Jedi Master Mace Windu and Anakin's best friend and former Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The day the Sith had won and established a terrifying new empire in the place of the Galactic Republic.

Anakin pounded his fist up against the glass. Palpatine had used him and manipulated him and even tried to do the one thing Anakin could never forgive him for. He tried to turn Anakin to the dark side of the force, against his friends and his family.

However, it was because of Palpatine's deception that Anakin had proven that his marriage to Padme only made him a more powerful Jedi and had been promoted to the rank of Jedi Master by the remaining members of the Jedi Council before they went off into hiding.

Master Yoda had gone into hiding in the uninhabited system of Dagobah for unknown reasons. Master Windu had gone to the outer rim jungle planet of Teth, and Master Obi-Wan had gone to Tatooine.

Now all that was left was for Anakin and Padme to decide on a world to raise their family on without worrying about the Empire or the Sith finding them.

"Anakin, I think I have a solution on where to go." Padme said.

"Where?" Anakin asked Padme, giving her his full attention.

"Mon has offered to let us go into hiding on Chandrila. After all, she is Luke and Leia's godmother and she is one of my closest friends. She's willing to take the risk and offer us safe haven from the Empire. At least until Luke and Leia are old enough to fight back against it." Padme said.

Anakin thought about it and then said "We have no choice. Chandrila is in the Core Worlds, so it's one of the last places Palpatine would think to look for us, and we have a powerful friend in the senate who can help us set up a new life there until the Empire falls." Anakin said.

Padme nodded and said "I'll contact Mon immediately about travel arrangements, along with a housing unit for us to live in."

"Something isolated and remote, so I can train the kids in the way of the Jedi without fear of being captured." Anakin said.

Padme nodded and said "You stay with Luke and Leia and suppress their force signature. We can't take any chances, since they're without a doubt the most powerful force sensitive children in the galaxy. If the Emperor finds out about them, he'll take from us and then kill us and turn them to the dark side."

Anakin nodded and said "I'll stay with them, you go make the arrangement with Mon."

Padme nodded and walked off to the communications center while Anakin walked over to the nursery where both Luke and Leia were sleeping peacefully.

As Anakin looked down at the faces of his sleeping children, he swore to himself that he would make sure that his children wouldn't have to live their whole lives under the fear of the Empire and the Sith. He would train them to become Jedi knights and then they would kill Palpatine and his new apprentice, a mysterious female gungan sith warrior known only as Darth Maw. Her true identity was unknown, but it was clear that she was once a Jedi, since the younglings had trusted her before she slaughtered them. The reason her identity was a secret was that she wore pure black armor that concealed identity.

He didn't know how or when the Empire would fall, but what he did know was that the Republic would be restored and the Jedi will be revived.

"Mon really came through for us. This place is perfect." Anakin said as he finished unpacking the last of their stuff into their new home, a lake house out in the Chandrian countryside that was far away from the cities, providing the cover and space Anakin would need in order to one be able to start training his kids to become Jedi.

"Yes she did, though I wish you would let me help you unpack." Padme said.

"Padme, the medical droid said that you still need rest after giving birth to the twins and that you should refrain from doing any heavy lifting." Anakin reminded his wife, who just glared at him, but relented nonetheless right as crying came from Luke's bedroom.

"Besides, I think you're more needed on twin duty for right now. At least until they stop nursing." Anakin said.

Padme nodded and got up from where she was sitting and headed upstairs to take care of Luke.

4 years later.

Over the next 4 years, the Skywalker family adjusted to their new life. Anakin swapped out his Jedi robes for more conventional clothing and had gotten a job at the shipyard at one of the nearby cities to make a profit and buy food and supplies for his family, since while Mon had offered to send ships out their way, since she was the only one who knew their location, Anakin had declined her, since it was too risky that they might be discovered, with Luke and Leia still being too young to completely control their abilities.

Padme had become a stay at home mom, watching Luke and Leia and keeping them safe. Anakin had given her some basic force techniques for the kids to practice while he was at work and she kept them entertained by telling the kid stories of her and Anakin's adventures during the clone wars.

Luke's favorite story was how his father fought in the second battle of Geonosis, alongside his padawan Ahsoka Tano and how they took the planet by force.

Leia's favorite story was the story of what happened on Scipio between her father and Rush Clovis, since she loved hearing about everything their father did to try and protect her mother.

Mon, or as the kids called her, Auntie Mon, came around every couple of days to play with the kids, bring word from the Senate and keep Padme and Anakin up to date on the growing rebellion.
