One little Thing

disclaimer: I DON'T OWN STAR WARS! George Lucas owns it(Lucky Dude!)
A/N This is called One Little Thing because it's an AU story where only one thing changed(which is that Shimi Skywalker didn't die). I hope you like it. In this fic Shimi Skywalker is still alive, and she raises Luke instead of his Aunt and Uncle. Enjoy:)
Chapter 1: Guardian
Obi-Wan Kenobi sighed as he looked down at the small baby in his arms. Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan had just arrived on the desert planet of Tatooine to deliver Luke to his only living family; his grandmother Shimi Skywalker, and his Aunt and Uncle.
Obi-Wan now stood outside the Lars' farm waiting before he alerted them to his presence. He was still shocked at all of the recent betrayal. First Anakin had turned to the dark side, and then in his anger he killed Padme, and as far as Anakin knew his unborn child. Children actually, although Anakin also didn't no there were 2, and no one else has to either. As far as everyone should know Princess Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker are not related at all.
Anakin was dead, Obi-Wan corrected himself, in his place was Darth Vader, the mask wearing monster of a Sith lord. The opening of the door to the Lars' farm roused him from his thoughts. Three people stood in the doorway to the home waiting for an explanation. "My name is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, of the old Jedi Order," Obi-Wan began.
An older woman with black-gray hair stepped forward,"Do you bring news of my son, Ani?" She asked. This must be Anakin's mother. Obi-Wan nodded his head.
"I do, Are you Shimi Skywalker?" He asked.
"Ye...Yes I am, What news do you bring?" She asked her voice shaking; it had been two years since she had seen or heard from her son.
"I'm sorry to inform you but, young Master Anakin Skywalker has been killed by a young Dark Lord, and I have much I need to tell, but the Emperor has decreed Order #66 stating that all Jadi's are now outlaws, and I must go into hiding..."Obi-Wan trailed off.
"My...Ani is dead?" Shimi asked tears on her face.
"I'm very sorry, but he is," Obi-Wan answered trying to be curt. Shimi was sobbing now, the young woman beside her holding her for comfort."I really am sorry...he was like a brother to me."
Shimi pulled herself together to stop the tears,"Thank-you," she whispered back.
"There is more," Obi-Wan began knowing he had to hurry if he was to find somewhere near by to lie low for a while," Anakin...seems to have been married to Senator Amidala Padme, who was also killed...she was carrying a baby boy, who was saved," Obi-Wan showed Luke to them.
"Can I see him?" Shimi asked. Obi-Wan handed the sleeping infant to her,"What is his name?" She asked.
"Luke Skywalker," Obi-Wan answered," His mother named him before she died.
"He's so perfect...he looks just like Ani..." Shimi smiled.
"You are his only living family," Obi-Wan stated. Shimi's smile faded, and then came back after a few seconds and she said,
"I shall raise him."
The man next to her made an inaudible noise," Not in my house," he said sternly.
The girl next to him shook her head," Oh, but Owen..."
"No Beru, and no Shimi...just give him back..." the man argued.
Shimi stared at the man called Owen," No Owen he's my grandson and if you don't want to help me raise him then...I'll move back to Mos Eisly."
"But, Shimi..." Beru pleaded.
"No, I want to raise him," her voice became strained for a second," it's what Anakin would have wanted."
"Fine, but..." Owen trailed off.
"Fine, We'll start looking for a place tomorrow," she turned to Obi-Wan," Thank you for bringing Luke to me."
"Your Welcome, and if you need anything, I will be staying on Tatooine, good bye." Obi-Wan bowed to Shimi and walked back to his loaned speeder.
"Goodbye Master Kenobi," She called back, and then smiling down at the baby in her arms she turned and walked inside.
On Alderaan
Bail Organa looked at the tiny baby girl in his arms. She was beautiful, and would one day become a great Princess. "Princess Leia Organa,My daughter," he whispered.
The sleeping infant awoke from her sleep when she heard her adoptive father's voice. She stared up at him with big brown eyes.
Her mothers eyes.
A/N I hope you like it so far! I promise Vader is in the story...just not yet...they'll(Luke and Leia) probably be about seven in the next chapter it skips some time! Please review!
