R&R!

Stars twinkled distantly in the sky, far away from where I was. I had no idea where I actually was, expect for being in deep space, but slowly memories flooded into my mind......

Obi-Wan, telling her Anakin had killed younglings. It was within that short confrontation when Obi-Wan found Anakin was the father.

Anakin, on the volcanic planet Mustafar. Becoming someone I didn't know.

Anakin, in rage, saying, "You're with him!" Ani suddenly lifting his hand into a fist. It was then when I realized he was chocking me.

Obi-Wan, saying, "Let her go, Anakin. Let her go." Obi-Wan?

I collapsed, and darkness overpowering me. My last fleeting thought was 'Ani, I love you...' Then the darkness I struggled against won, and I found myself losing consciousness....

"We're losing her." Three simple words spoken by a droid. Ani told me.....it seemed so long ago when he said I would die in childbirth. I said, "It was just a dream." I dispelled his nightmares quickly - because it was mine, too. I knew I was dying, and I began to think of the past.....

Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, R2-D2, and myself walked slowly to Watto's shop - where I unknowingly met my future husband. "Are you an angel?" Ani had asked. "I'm going to marry you," he said later. But I never suspected that he was right.

Almost ten years had past, and I was in terrible danger - a bounty hunter and his unknown employer wanted me dead. Anakin and Obi-Wan were assigned to protect me. I wasn't expecting to fall in love.

We were on Naboo, in the Lake Country. Where Ani and I shared our first kiss. I pulled away, still unsure of my feelings. I knew the Jedi were not allowed to love. What was Anakin doing?

Anakin had a bad dream - his mother was dying, in pain. "I'm sorry. I have to help her!" And we left, landing on the barren planet of Tatoonie. There we found Ani's stepfamily. There we found Shimi dead, tortured by Tusken Raiders.

Back a Naboo, after the first battle of the Clone Wars, a Holy Man joined our hands in marriage.

Years later, I informed Ani of my pregnancy. "That's wonderful," he had said. I knew that the Jedi Code did not allow this. I knew that he would be expelled from the Jedi Order. But he didn't care. "This is the happiest moment of my life."

Suddenly, pain shocked me out of my remembrances of the past events that led to this. The droid was operating to save my baby. Anakin's baby. "Luke," I said in a soft voice. What I didn't know was that I was carrying twins.
"It's a girl," Obi-Wan said quietly.
"Leia," I named my daughter in a strained voice. I was about to pass into the void. Obi-Wan must have sensed it too. He pleaded with me to stay alive for the twins. "There's still good in him, Obi-Wan. I know-" were my final words. I would have never believed that my Anakin would have turned to the dark side. He couldn't be a Sith. But he was. And I knew - dispite what others told me - there was still good in him. Someone would redeem him. Someone would save him. Someone....would destroy Darth Vader and bring back Anakin Skywalker. The man I loved. The man I will always love.
