Much has changed in the Republic. The Seperatists' planets have returned. The Senate has been reformed. Many Senators were forced to step down. Bail Organa has been chosen as the new Chancellor. A lot of work still has to be done, but a new hope has risen for those who have fought bravely.

The Jedi Order has changed as well. The rule about attachments has been demolished. Instead, Jedi are to be taught how not to let passion take over. Pure love is to be encouraged. At once many new relationships have sprout up. Some are believed to be hidden earlier and some are freshly new, while feelings were always there.

One day, a few weeks after you returned to Luth, the Council gathers together and requests Anakin's presence. He expects them to inform him that he is not going to get back his position among them, as he was appointed per the Sith's request. But they surprise him.

'You have done a lot to end this war and defeat the Sith Lord,' Windu starts. 'You proven to really be the prophesized Chosen One.'

Others nod and murmur in agreement. Obi-Wan smiles at his former padawan proudly.

'Beginning, a new era is,' Yoda says. 'Needed, a fresh perspective is. Your role in this, we see.'

'Master?' Skywalker asks, frowning.

'The Council has decided to give you a rank of a Master,' Mace declares. Your husband stares at him in shock, missing polite applause. He didn't expect that.

'I… am honored,' he says and bows his head. 'And humbled.'

'Deserve this, you do,' the Grand Master says. 'Much growth, you've shown. Both physically and mentally. Young, you are. But ready.'

Anakin is quiet for a moment. This is what he's dreamt about. Jedi can now be in relationships. He can do good and be out in the open with you. But… he's still going to be sent on missions that may take long time. He still is the King of Luth and should support you. He has seen how tired you are yesterday in the evening. The Galaxy still needs Jedi. But you and your planet need a king. And you your husband.

'Like I said, I'm honored,' he says and looks up. 'But I'd actually like to leave the Jedi Order.'

The Council is stunned into silence. Windu frowns. But Obi-Wan and Yoda smile knowingly.

'You're young, Skywalker,' Mace says. 'There still is time for you to live your life by Queen [L/N]'s side.'

'We both thought that once,' your husband says. 'We thought it would be years before she has to become the leader of her people. But the fate or the Force has decided otherwise. She and Luth need me. She as father of her child and husband, and the planet as its king.'

Once again, the Council is stunned. Kenobi has to bite his cheek so not to chuckle. Windu blinks. The Grand Master is intrigued by this development.

'Married already, you are?' he asks. Anakin nods, actually embarrassed a bit.

'Her father was the one who encouraged us to do it,' he reveals. 'Nothing could be hidden from him. After one of her kidnappings, he came to me and we talked. We got married hoping by the time we'd have to take the crowns I'd be able to step down as a Jedi. While I wasn't able to do that, I was helping her rule whenever and however I could. But now I fulfilled the prophecy and brought balance to the Force. I know there's still a lot to be done. But I want to do it by her side. Of course, if you ever need me, I'll be at your disposal.'

He bows and waits for the verdict. The Council exchanges looks. Yoda smiles and stands up. He walks to Skywalker and forces him to rise with his cane.

'Wrong to refuse to train you, we were,' he says. 'More trust, we should have given you. Always regret this, we will. A great Jedi, you are. And missed, you will be. Best of luck, we wish you.'

They smile at each other. Your husband looks at each Jedi and bows his head. When he looks at his former master, both men have tears in their eyes. They nod at each other. This is not a right time for a conversation between them.

Next day, you're on a meeting, when Lanash hurries in. She leans to your ear.

'The Jedi shuttle is here,' she whispers. 'We were told the King is on board.'

'We will finish this later,' you say loudly, your heart skipping a beat. You stand up, not giving more explanation and leave the baffled council behind. Your maid laughs behind you as you hurry through the corridors.

When Anakin exits the ship, the door to the palace open and he sees you. He chuckles and shakes his head.

'I should have known she's going to know the moment we enter atmosphere,' he says and joins his companions: Yoda, Windu, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan.

'Well, she is the Queen,' Kenobi points out. 'She should know who's arriving and who's leaving.'

You descend the stairs and meet with Mace and the Grand Master. You bow to each other.

'You should have told us you're coming,' you say. 'I'm afraid we're not prepared.'

'A short visit, it is,' Yoda says. 'No need for anything special, there is.'

'Too late, we're already preparing a dinner,' you say and look at them sternly. 'And you're all staying. No other option.'

'You're most generous, Your Majesty,' Windu says. You smile.

'I think after everything we can drop the formalities,' you propose. He smiles and nods.

'How is she doing that?' Tano whispers. 'It's rare to see him smile.'

'That's my wife to you,' Skywalker chuckles. You exchange a few more pleasantries with two Jedi Master, then continue on. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka come forward. You hug both of them.

'Why didn't you warn me?' you demand.

'Someone wanted to surprise you,' Tano explains. You shake your head but smile.

'I'm glad you're here,' you say. 'I missed you.'

'We missed you, too,' Kenobi says. 'But someone did even more, so we'll catch up later.'

'Before he starts pacing,' Ahsoka suggests.

'All right,' you chuckle and walk past them. You and your husband grin at each other. He opens his arms and you gladly allow him to embrace you. You both sigh softly.

'Maker, I missed that so much,' he murmurs and kisses the top of your head. 'And I can do that as often as I like now.'

'No need to hide,' you chuckle and pull away. 'So, how are things? Did you become a Master in the Council?'

'I was offered that,' Anakin admits. 'I turned it down.'

'What?' you ask, frowning. 'But why? It was your dream…'

You notice servants coming out of the shuttle. They're carrying luggage. Not much of it but it makes you think. Just then R2-D2 comes down, whistling, and hurries to C-3PO.

'Oh, Artoo!' your droid says, excited. 'How good to see you! Wait, slow down! I can't understand a- Oh, my! For good? You mean it?'

You look with wide eyes at your husband, tears glistening in your eyes. He smiles softly at you and cups your face.

'You are my dream,' he says. 'There's no place I'd rather be, than by your side, raising our child and protecting our planet.'

'Children,' you correct him. He frowns. You smile at him, tears falling down your cheeks.

'The doctor said on today's exam I'm carrying twins,' you reveal. 'So, we're going to raise children.'

He stares at you for a moment, shocked. Then, he starts laughing. You join him and soon he's spinning you around. Your friends are watching it with smiles.

'You really are going to stay?' you ask when he puts you down, your expression hopeful. He smiles and touches your forehead with his.

'Forever,' he promises. You smile beautifully and Anakin realizes he can't remember when was the last time he saw you smiling like that. And he knows that his decision was right, if only to make you smile like that.

'She looks so happy,' Ahsoka says, touched.

'Of course, she is,' Kenobi says, smiling. 'Her heart is at ease now.'

'Obi-Wan!' Skywalker suddenly shouts, waving his hand with a wide grin. 'I'm going to have twins!'

'Oh, Maker,' his former master murmurs. 'Two little Anakins? Help.'

'Or maybe two little [Y/N]s,' Tano teases.

'Who wants to bet they're going to inherit their worse traits?' Mace asks, glum.

'Why are you not happy?!' you demand. They look at your angry face and burst out laughing. You frown, confused. But your husband cups your face and finally kisses you, so you forget why you were angry. You smile into the kiss and respond. Suddenly, you are full of hope for the future.

Why the rich people of Coruscant have decided the end of the war needs to be celebrated with a grand ball is beyond you. You would be happy to celebrate it at home with your husband. But many people insisted for you to come. So, you do. Not happily. It would be better if you had Anakin by your side, but you were separated early on and you can't locate him.

He also wishes to be by your side, but people keep getting him into conversations. They all want to talk to the hero who defeated the Sith Lord. They want to shake hands with the Chosen One. He's sick of it very quickly.

At one point a crowd of women surrounds him. They all look at him with flirty smiles. Most women have been doing that ever since the rule about relationships has been removed in the Jedi Order. Well, the women on Coruscant. On Luth they know he's taken.

'I still can't believe you left the Jedi,' a blonde woman says, swatting his arm with her fan and blinking rapidly. 'You are the most powerful Jedi that ever lived.'

'Hardly,' he says, looking for you with his eyes.

'Oh, you're so modest, Ge- sir,' a redhead giggles. 'Why, you must be careful. Women love modest men.'

'Well, they're going to get disappointed with me,' he says and they all laugh.

'What are your plans now, Ge- mister Skywalker?' a brunette asks.

'Oh, I'm a very busy man now,' he says, thinking about his duties as a king.

'But with what, Ge-' the blonde asks and sighs. 'And how should we address you, now that you're no longer a general of the Army of the Republic nor a Jedi?'

'The appropriate form would be "Your Majesty",' Lanash says from behind them, annoyed. The women turn to her with wide eyes.

'What?' they ask.

'That's how people address the King of Luth, after all,' your maid politely explains. Their mouths part. Just then Anakin, amused and embarrassed, notices you.

'Wife!' he calls. The women whirl to you. You approach them, confused.

'Husband,' you greet him. He grabs your hand and grins.

'Dance with me?' he asks. You beam at him.

'Gladly,' you agree and let him take you to the dancefloor. Lanash smiles smugly at the pale women.

'Flirt with him again and you will have to answer to me, my fiancé, the Clones, the Jedi and the people of Luth,' she warns them and walks away.

'What was that about?' you ask your husband during the dance.

'They were flirting with me,' he explains. You narrow your eyes and start looking around for them.

'Where are they?' you growl. He grins at your jealousy.

'I think Lanash scared them already,' he assures you. 'And if you want, we can actually show people here we're together.'

'They don't know?' you ask, confused. 'We stopped hiding.'

'But we're so used to not showing our love that we're not obvious with it,' he explains.

'And here I feared we were obvious when we were hiding,' you say after a bit. You look at each other and giggle. He presses you closer to himself and you lay your head against his chest, while he rests his on top of yours.

'How long before everyone here knows about them?' Windu asks, watching you with Obi-Wan, a few other Jedi, Satine and a few Mandalorians, including Axe.

'I think Lanash is making sure it's rather quick,' Kenobi answers, eyeing your maid, who is walking around the ballroom, informing every woman gossiping about Skywalker that he's very much taken and she will hurt them if they try to separate you.

'Shouldn't she be planning her own wedding?' Mace asks.

'When she accepted my proposal, she informed me we can start planning after the royal babies are born,' Woves explains.

'I still can't believe she said "yes",' the Duchess says. 'I remember how hard it was to convince her you're serious about her. And to give a long-distance relationship a shot.'

'Yes, what are you going to do after you're married?' Obi-Wan asks. 'You can't both perform your duties and you can't be married and live on different planets. I mean, you can, but what's the point?'

'We're… still figuring that out,' Axe admits. 'But we both want to be together. We will work it out. Somehow. I hope.'

'Oh, [Y/N] and I will make sure you will,' Satine assures him and looks at your slightly bulged belly. 'Do people gossip about [Y/N]'s pregnancy?'

'Indeed,' Yoda confirms, surprising everyone. 'On Skywalker being the father, some bet. However, for them to be married, no one suggests.'

'Well, that is going to change tonight,' Kenobi says with a smile, watching Anakin kiss you softly. People who notice it look at it with shock and start whispering.

But you and your husband don't care. It's the first time you kiss in public (the kiss witnessed by Padmé doesn't count) and you're very happy about it. You don't even notice the stares after you pull away.

'How long do we have to stay here?' Skywalker asks.

'I can always fake feeling unwell,' you suggest. 'I'm pregnant. I'm allowed.'

'You're feeling unwell, don't you?' he quickly asks. You nod seriously.

'You better take me home, husband,' you say.

'You're right, wife,' he says and guides you outside. There, you hurry to your speeder, giggling like a pair of teenagers.

'What they did, was very unfair,' Obi-Wan says after you disappear.

'Do you want to get pregnant to be able to do the same?' Satine teases him. He blushes furiously and starts stuttering. The Mandalorians and the Jedi start betting when the two of them will start dating.

You and Anakin are getting to your apartment in the meantime. Hawk checks his datapad and snorts. You look at him with curiosity.

'Lanash says pretty much everyone knows you're married,' he explains. 'The women are crying that "the handsome and famous" Anakin Skywalker is taken. And the men are murmuring angrily, wondering why did you pick him instead of any of them.'

'Because he has a personality,' you answer and your husband snorts. You grin at him. You intertwine your fingers and hold hands until you're back in your room.

'Are you sure I can go?' he asks once you're in your bedroom, dressed for the night. You roll your eyes.

'Darling, I know you're excited to go on a mission with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka again,' you say. 'You can take Anakin out of the Jedi, but you can't take the Jedi out of Anakin. Go. Beat some evil guys. Come back home to me.'

'How did I get so lucky to have you?' he asks, grinning.

'I think you can thank Lanash and C-3PO for that,' you answer. 'They're the ones that helped me realize I love you and I can't live without you.'

'I'll get them something for that,' he murmurs and leans down for a kiss. You moan and allow him to push you down on the bed. Thee kiss becomes more heated. Until he pulls away. You groan, frustrated.

'It's perfectly all right to do that while I'm pregnant,' you complain.

'I almost lost you and the babies,' he says. 'I won't take any chances. But… I can give you pleasure in another way.'

'What do you mean?' you ask. 'Wait. Are you- oh!'

You roll your eyes as he starts massaging your clit. He grins and enjoys every sound you make. He stares at your face, transfixed.

'I hope you know I'm going to return the favor, husband,' you say.

'I'm aware, wife,' he confirms and kisses you. 'I love you.'

'I love you, too,' you say. 'And just so you know… I will never get hired of calling you that. Or hearing you call me that.'

'Me neither, my love,' he murmurs and nuzzles your neck. 'Me neither. Now stop talking and let me show you how skilled I am in making you feel good.'

You laugh. You shake your head.

'You do that just with being here,' you say. He smiles at you softly.

'I'm the luckiest man in the world,' he says. 'Now seriously, shut up.'

You laugh. But it quickly turns into a moan. And then a scream.

Obi-Wan can't believe it. From all the days, you're giving birth on the day he's visiting you and Anakin. The Force really works in strange ways.

'So, why aren't you with your wife?' he asks after another scream.

'She threatened to make me impotent last time I was there,' Skywalker answers, glancing at the door nervously. 'She somehow grabbed a knife, so it seemed really serious. Hearing her screams, I'm not really against it. But maybe she can do it in a less bloody way.'

'Would you really let her do that?' Kenobi asks, curious. His friend looks at him as if he were mad to ask that.

'To spare her pain?' he asks. 'Anything.'

'Sometimes I look at you two and wonder how anyone could have been oblivious to your great love,' the Jedi says after a moment.

'We were hiding it at the time,' your husband answers. 'Also, you heard Master Yoda. The Force was masking it from those who weren't supposed to know.'

Before any of them can say more, they hear a scream. Obi-Wan winces, while his former padawan goes even paler than he was.

'Anakin! Anakin! ANAKIN!' they hear you yell. At once Skywalker gets on his feet and bursts into your shared chambers. Just then the Jedi delegation appears on the corridor. Windu, Yoda, Ahsoka, Shaak-Ti and Plo Koon approach Kenobi.

'How is the situation?' Mace asks.

'Hard to say,' Obi-Wan answers. 'Anakin keeps rushing in and out. [Y/N] can't decide whether she wants him with her or to castrate him.'

'Ouch,' Ahsoka hisses, while others wince. 'And you have no news how far is she?'

'None at all,' Kenobi answers and sighs. Others sit down next to him. All they can do is wait.

Inside your room, you're walking around your room, crying, panting and screaming. Shmi and a midwife are supporting you, pretty sure their fingers are broken by your strong grip.

'Anakin!' you cry out. Just then your husband bursts in, panic written on his face.

'I'm here!' he exclaims and trips on a carpet, but manages to keep himself up. 'I'm here, my star. Here.'

He takes you over and helps you walk around. You breathe heavily but seem to calm down.

'How can I help?' he asks. 'Do you want to punch me? Castrate me? Yell at me?'

'Just… hold me…' you pant. 'I'm sorry… for being… mean…'

'You're in much pain because of me, you can be mean to me as much as you want,' he assures you. You laugh and yelp in pain.

'Your Majesty, if I may,' the midwife says and kneels. You stop. She checks how wide you are. She looks up with a smile.

'You can push now, Your Majesty,' she informs you.

'Oh, thank the gods, the Force and everyone else,' you exhale and start pushing. Anakin tries really hard not to laugh. It's easy, since you're crushing his hands.

Some time later, Lanash opens the door and the Jedi spring on their feet. She gives them a tired smile.

'You can come in now,' she says and goes back inside. The Jedi quickly follow her and hurry to your bedroom. They stop at the door, staring at the view in front of them.

You're lying on the bed, holding one baby. You're exhausted, wet from sweat, red on the face, but also extremely happy. Your husband is sitting next to you, holding the other baby, staring at it with wonder and happiness, with tears in his eyes. He notices the guests first and gives them a wide smile.

'I'm a father,' he says with amazement. 'I have twins.'

Ahsoka coos and hurries to look closer. Obi-Wan quickly follows. Others go a bit slower. But only a bit.

'What are they?' Tano asks, staring at the baby in her former master's arms.

'We have a baby boy and a baby girl,' Skywalker says with pride. 'Leia…'

'… and Luke,' you say, caressing the boy in your arms with your finger. 'They're so tiny. And yet they were so heavy. And hard to give birth. They didn't want to leave. Smart babies. One day you will have to grow up and do adult stuff.'

'She's on painkillers,' your husband explains in a whisper.

'And you're about to be on pain,' you say, glaring at him. He sends you a wide smile. And you're no longer angry.

'Thank you,' you say. He looks at you, confused and amused.

'For what?' he asks.

'Being,' you answer simply, shrugging. He looks at you softly and kisses you, not caring there are others present. Not like he has in the past months anyway. Because he can finally do that and he loves it.

'Master Yoda?' you ask, pulling away from Skywalker. The Grand Master walks to your bed. He puts his hands above the babies and focuses.

'Hm,' he hums and takes his hands back. 'Strong in the Force, both of them are.

'They have Anakin's genes, that was obvious,' Ahsoka murmurs. You look at your babies, thinking. Your husband does the same.

'If you want to train them, you have to rethink your whole taking-babies-from-their-families thing,' you finally say and look up. 'Clear?'

'This-' Windu starts.

'Clear,' Yoda answers, surprising everyone, and looks at you with mischief in his eyes. 'Form attachments now, Jedi can. How different, that is, hm?'

You smile at him. He winks at you. Your husband looks at you with pride. Only you could convince the Grand Master of the Jedi order to change ancient rules.

Some time later, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka enter your living room. They sit on the couch. Kenobi closes his eyes. He's tired and he was only waiting. He can't imagine how tired you must be.

'I really hope she will make true on her threat and make him impotent,' Lanash murmurs, as she leaves the bathroom. She falls on the couch next to Obi-Wan and closes her eyes.

'You don't mean that,' Tano says.

'At the moment I'm ready to do it myself,' your maid answers. The Jedi chuckle. Suddenly, Kenobi becomes thoughtful.

'Which one of them will become the ruler?' he asks. 'The one who was born first or…?'

'Oh, we don't know yet,' Lanash says and opens her eyes. 'Truthfully, I don't think we ever had twins as firstborns, but we have a rule about it. Both of them will be taught as heirs to the crown, but the one who will feel the calling will take it. And if none of them wants it, the people will decide which one better fits for the role. Or if the one that wants it is not fitting, they will protest. Truly, we will leave that at gods' hands.'

'That's very…' Obi-Wan starts but he can't find a proper word.

'Fair to them,' Ahsoka finally says. Just then Hawk walks in from the corridor.

'The people have been informed,' he says. 'They can't wait to meet the prince and princess.'

'They have to wait,' your maid says. 'Their mother needs to rest.'

'She's going to be up before we wish for that,' Skywalker says, entering the room.

'True,' Lanash sighs. 'How does it feel to be a dad, Your Majesty?'

'Wonderful,' he answers, beaming, and suddenly becomes serious. 'I hope you know all of you are going to be godparents.'

They all freeze and look at him with shock. Your maid opens her mouth but no sound comes out. Her eyes become shiny.

'Anakin-' Kenobi starts.

'I don't want anyone else,' his former padawan interrupts him, shaking his head. 'We wouldn't want anyone else.'

'Can we pick?' Ahsoka asks, grinning. Her former master laughs.

'Just don't fight about it,' he answers.

'Then I'm taking Luke,' Tano says.

'Me too,' Hawk quickly says. Everyone raises their eyebrows at him.

'They're [L/N]s,' he explains. 'I've seen girls in that family. Troubles, all of them. I'm taking my chances with the prince.'

'I'm going to laugh so hard if Luke is going to give you headaches,' Lanash snorts. 'But I will allow you to take him, Ahsoka. I wanted Leia anyway. I know how to deal with princesses. Mind you, I'm going to spoil this one.'

'As if you hadn't had her mother,' your husband chuckles. Your maid shrugs. Skywalker shakes his head.

'Well, are you fine with being the godfather of Leia, Obi-Wan?' he asks.

'I'm happy to be a godfather to any of your children, Anakin,' Kenobi answers with a smile. Two old friends, brothers, look at each other with affection. How glad they both are that while many things change in their lives, their bond does not.

People don't know what's more amazing. That you and Anakin still act like you've just fallen in love or that you two don't have more babies, even though it's been three years since Luke and Leia were born. You two don't pay attention to any of that. You love each other and your little family and that's all that matters.

On the twins' third birthday, you go on a trip. You're not even sure how Obi-Wan, Satine, Lanash, Axe and Ahsoka find themselves with you, but you don't question it. They're your family as well. You're happy to have them with you by a sea, relaxing and having fun.

'Tell me, whose idea was it to come here?' Kenobi asks at one point, helping you and Luke build a sandcastle with Ahsoka as well.

'Mine, why?' you ask. He gives you an amused look and glances behind his back. You follow his gaze and see Anakin sitting on a towel with Leia in his arms, both of them looking at you with looks of disgust. Tano snorts.

'He hates sand,' she says. 'I forgot about that.'

'Leia as well,' you say, shaking your head. 'But what you seem to forgot about, Obi-Wan, is that he loves me very much. So, when he asked me where I wanted to go and I answered I hadn't seen a sea in some time, he insisted we come here. But he also warned me he's going to stay away from the sand and complain about it. Leia as well.'

'But if she hates it, doesn't it ruin her birthday?' Ahsoka asks, worried. You smile.

'Wait for it,' you say. You observe the two of them. Suddenly, Leia says something. Your husband sighs and stands up. He stares at the sea with determination, then runs straight to it. Your daughter squeals in joy, even louder when they're in the water and start playing.

'There's nothing he won't do to make us happy,' you say fondly.

'No, no, no!' you hear suddenly. You turn your heads and see Axe sprinting to the water with a grin on his face and terrified Lanash in his arms. He throws her into the sea. She screams and lands with a splash. He laughs but not for long, because she quickly pulls him under. Then, they have a fight in the water.

'They're adorable,' Tano chuckles. 'How is she feeling about her new role?'

'She hates it,' you answer. 'That would be her answer. But we all know she loves it. As a senator she can tell off all of the people that piss her off. It's even more fun for her, because they feel outraged a former maid is talking to them like that. She misses being my maid, though. I miss it as well. But this was a perfect solution. Both of them changed jobs, none of them had to make a sacrifice for the other. And they can visit Mandalore and Luth whenever they want. Axe loves his job as well. Who would have thought a request would make him find his life calling. But he is a great teacher of self-defense.'

'Isn't Lanash jealous of all the women that he teaches?' Obi-Wan asks.

'She was at first,' you admit. 'But then he spent a week assuring her he's hers and doesn't allow women to think they have a chance to replace her. She was grinning like an idiot for a month after that.'

'And how is Berugha?' Satine asks, joining you. She had to go to the side.

'Enjoying his retirement with his wife and Naboo,' you answer. 'They plan to return to us, but only after he stops being interested in interfering in politics.'

'Mommy says it will never happen,' Luke says. You nod seriously, while others snort. Your son looks at you with a smile.

'Can we join Leia and dad?' he asks.

'Of course, darling,' you say and pick him up.

'Who will finish the castle?' Ahsoka protests. Luke looks at her and points at her with a grin.

'You do!' he says. 'I already have a real one!'

Obi-Wan and Satine burst out laughing. Tano looks at them with a sour expression.

'Luke,' you scold your son gently. He beams at his godmother.

'I love you, Auntie,' he says. Her look softens.

'Just go and have fun,' she says. You stand up and go into the sea to join your husband and daughter. They grin when you approach. Your friends watch you play and laugh with smiles.

'He made a right decision,' Ahsoka says.

'He did,' Kenobi agrees. 'They're so happy. And good. They deserve it.'

'Do the Jedi want to train the kids?' Satine asks.

'Yes,' Obi-Wan confirms. 'Anakin and [Y/N] want this as well. They already show their Force abilities. They're as powerful as their father. It'd be better for everyone if they're trained. But they're not going to be taken to the Temple on Coruscant. They agreed to build a Jedi Temple on Luth. Anakin found a perfect spot, where the Force is strong. Soon the build will start. Once it's finished, Jedi will arrive and the children will train. What has to be decided, is how they're going to divide their time once they grow up and will have to start to learn how to rule their planet. [Y/N] insists they both start learning at young age. She says it's a tradition, but Anakin said he thinks she fears she's going to die when they're young and she wants them to be ready.'

'Is it because of her parents?' Ahsoka asks after a moment of silence.

'Yes,' the older Jedi confirms. 'They need to talk about that. But for now, let them enjoy peace and quiet. And happiness.'

'Grandma!' the twins suddenly scream and your friends see them spring past them. They turn and see Shmi grabbing the kids with a laugh. Behind her Rex and Fives stand, smiling.

'We thought you had to stay with sick Grandpa,' Luke says.

'Well, I couldn't miss your birthday, could I?' your mother-in-law asks. 'Of course, he, Owen and Beru wish they could be here as well. But they promised to spoil you rotten tomorrow.'

Luke and Leia squeal in joy. Your friends chuckle. They look at you and Anakin. They're not at all surprised to find you gazing into each other's eyes lovingly, while holding hands.

But then your husband lets go and goes to greet his mother. He kisses her cheek and she smiles, touching his cheek. He says something and she laughs. He grins.

'I finally know,' Obi-Wan says with a smile.

'What?' Satine asks.

'Where did my husband hide my towel?' Lanash asks, joining them. She glares at Axe beside her. He grins at her.

'No,' Kenobi denies, rolling his eyes. 'I'm not getting in the middle of that.'

'Shame,' Senator Woves sighs. 'I was hoping for the most famous negotiator. Anyway. What do you finally know?'

'When Anakin realized he's in love with [Y/N],' Obi-Wan answers. They all look with interest at the King, who's laughing with his mother. Then they glance at you, walking to your family with a smile.

'When?' Tano asks, interested.

'When he found out she bought his mother's freedom,' Kenobi answers. They all smile. Obi-Wan suddenly frowns.

'What did you realize now?' Satine asks, amused.

'Anakin had dreams of his mother being in danger,' he says. 'That's why [Y/N] decided to tell him she's safe and on Luth. To stop him from going to Tatooine. We wondered why he had had those dreams. If someone had planted them. I think it was Palpatine. For some reason he wanted Anakin to come to Tatooine.'

'Maybe to leave Padmé so he could kill her?' Tano suggests.

'Maybe, but I think it was something else as well,' the older Jedi says and sighs. 'Well, now we will never know. But it's all right. It's all behind us now.'

'Uncle Ben!' Leia shouts, running to them. 'Can you show us with dad how you fight?'

Obi-Wan looks at his former padawan. The latter has a grin on his face. Kenobi smiles at your daughter and bows his head.

'As the lady commands,' he says and stands up. Leia hurries back to you and a moment later you all watch Anakin and Obi-Wan dueling. Even though your husband is no longer a Jedi, he's still a skilled fighter. Not only does he keep training, but Kenobi still takes him sometimes on missions.

'Are we going to fight like that one day, Mom?' Luke asks. You ruffle his hair.

'If you'd like,' you answer. 'I just hope you won't get into as much trouble as your father.'

'We're Skywalkers, mom, of course we will,' Leia chirps.

'That's what I fear,' you sigh. Your friends laugh. You smile and hug your children, watching as two brothers suddenly somehow end up on the sand and laugh about it. This day is perfect. You have your friends and family with you. You're happy. And even though it won't be always like that, you feel very lucky.

When Luke and Leia are five years old, they start their Jedi training. You and Anakin are thrilled when you hear Obi-Wan is going to be among teachers in the new Jedi Temple on Luth. It quickly turns out they're very skilled and, like Yoda said when they were born, strong with the Force.

When they are seven years old, they start learning how to be a good ruler. This isn't going so well. They both would prefer to train Jedi things than to study. To be honest, you can't blame them. You'd rather too when you were their age.

One day, terrible news reaches you. A plague has hit the city. A new, unknown sickness. The doctors have troubles with containing it.

'We have to close the city, Your Majesties,' the Minister of Health says solemnly. You stare outside the window. You see the city below. There are no people on the streets. They're all scared. You turn your head and look at Anakin. He nods, his expression grim.

'Do it,' you order quietly. And the city is closed. No one is allowed in or out, except for the doctors that the Republic sends to help. Your guards and police investigate in the meantime what caused the sickness and how did it show up in the first place. The Jedi are on it as well.

One day, Anakin joins Obi-Wan on the investigation. They find some clues that may be helpful in moving forward. They return late in the evening and Skywalker invites Kenobi for supper. But when they enter your chambers, inside they find worried Helene, your new maid, C-3PO and the twins. The Jedi stop.

'What happened?' your husband asks, frowning. 'Where's [Y/N]?'

'That's what happened, Your Majesty,' Helene says nervously. 'We received news that there are not enough people to look after the sick. So, she went to the city to help…'

'She did what?!' Anakin asks, shocked and outraged. Your maid flinches.

'I tried to stop her… or to take her with me at least… but I'm not Lanash, I don't know how to stand up to her,' she says with despair. Skywalker sighs and pinches his nose.

'It's not your fault, I know how stubborn she can be,' he murmurs and opens the door. 'Rex, can you do me a favor and bring my wife home?'

'Certainly, Your Majesty,' the Clone answers and walks away. Your husband can't help but smile. He was happy when you agreed to take Clones from the 501st to his personal guard. He sighs and closes the door.

'We can wait now,' he says grumpily. 'Helene, can you fetch us supper? If I know Rex, they'll be back just in time.'

'As you wish, Your Majesty,' your maid says and hurries away.

'I'm still not used to being called that,' Anakin says, blushing. Obi-Wan chuckles and clasps his shoulder. Then he goes to play with the twins.

True to Skywalker's words, you and Rex return fairly quickly. You look tired but also nervous. You expect your husband not to be pleased with your decision. And when you see him glaring at you with his arms crossed, you know you're right.

'I know you're angry and I understand it,' you say before he can open his mouth. 'I would be, too, if the roles were reversed. But please understand I had to do it. Anakin… they were overwhelmed. There were so many sick people…'

Tears well up in your eyes. His look softens. He walks to you and hugs you. You can't take it anymore and start crying. Your people are dying and you feel so helpless. Skywalker understands the feeling of restlessness, the need to feel to do something.

'Next time take me, Obi-Wan or C-3PO with you, okay?' he asks quietly.

'Okay,' you whisper and hug him tighter in gratitude. You pull away after a moment and turn to Kenobi with a smile. You listen to their discoveries during supper and are pleased with the progress. But you know your job is not done yet.

For the next days, Anakin continues to investigate the plague with Obi-Wan, while you help the sick. That means you barely see anyone in the palace, not wanting to risk the plague spreading, even though you're perfectly healthy. Until you aren't…

One day Skywalker is present on the meeting with the Jedi Council in the Temple. They exchange the data. They're getting close to solving the mystery. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.

'Excuse me, I told not to interrupt us,' Kenobi says and walks to the door. He's met with the pale face of General Juando.

'I need to speak with the King,' he says quietly. 'It's urgent.'

'Javier?' your husband asks, confused, walking to them. 'What is it?'

'Your Majesty, the Queen…' Juando starts and looks at his ruler with pain in his eyes. 'She's fallen ill. The royal medic is certain. It's the plague.'

Anakin is frozen with shock. In a second his face goes white as sheet and his eyes are wide with terror. He takes a step forward, but then he turns and bows to the holograms.

'Please, excuse me,' he says and hurries out of the room with the General.

'He couldn't have brought the worse news,' Windu says grimly.

'Something on your mind, Obi-Wan, there is?' Yoda asks, noticing Kenobi's frown.

'After [Y/N] started helping the sick, no one in the capital was surprised,' he says after a moment. 'They all said they were wondering when that would happen. Her kindness and compassion are widely known.'

'You think she was the target from the beginning?' Shaak Ti asks with doubt.

'Every day she is perfectly well guarded,' Obi-Wan explains. 'There is no way for an assassination attack. It was proven after Palpatine has fallen. You can't attack her directly. Her guards and Anakin make sure of that. But if you attack her people… there is nothing she won't do for them.'

'Her greatest strength is also her greatest weakness,' Plo Koon says.

'Indeed,' Kenobi sighs. 'I'm afraid so.'

When Anakin bursts into your chambers, he's met with his twins being comforted by his mother and Hawk guarding the door to the bedroom. He gives his king a compassionate look.

'You can't get in, Your Majesty,' he says. 'The doctors don't want it to spread.'

'Clint, I don't care what they say, she's my wife and I'm going to see her,' Skywalker says, fuming. To his surprise, Hawk shrugs and steps aside.

'I told them you will say that,' he says. 'But please be careful, Your Majesty.'

Your husband doesn't give him a response. He stops to kiss and hug his children, kiss his mother's cheek, then enters your bedroom. He's taken aback by the darkness inside.

'I knew no one could stop you,' he hears your voice and he's startled how weak it sounds. His heart clenches when you cough and wheeze. He hurries to your side and his heart breaks. Your face is gray and your hair matte.

'You didn't look like that this morning,' he says quietly. You manage a weak smile.

'Are you saying I'm no longer beautiful?' you tease him. He sits by your side.

'You're always beautiful, but I prefer your healthy look,' he answers and reaches out to touch your cheek.

'Don't,' you stop him. 'It spreads by contact.'

'Well, I've been touching you plenty for the last days,' he says, smirking. 'And I'm not sick.'

'We thought I'm not sick either, remember?' you ask. His smile falls. He caresses your cheek.

'How did this happen?' he asks. 'You were so careful…'

'Sometimes it's not enough,' you say. Your fingers twitch. You want to touch him so bad.

'Try not to worry,' you say. 'It's not always fatal.'

'You will be okay,' he says, looking at you with pain. 'You must be. Promise me, you'll get better. I can't…. Please.'

You both have tears in your eyes. You can't help yourselves anymore and join hands.

'I'll get better,' you whisper and start coughing. It's worse and longer than before. A doctor enters and pushes Anakin out of the room, scolding him. Before the door closes, Skywalker manages to see blood in the corner of your mouth.

The days pass. Everyone is more determined than ever to discover the person responsible for the plague. The Jedi finally do but they're hesitant to pass the news to your husband. When Obi-Wan finally does it, they're both are surprised how calmly the former Jedi takes it.

'You really have grown,' Kenobi comments with a sad smile. His friend doesn't respond. His expression is blank. His former master frowns.

'Anakin, what is it?' he asks.

'She's dying,' Skywalker answers after a beat, his voice hoarse from the crying from the past hours. 'They can't do anything to help her. I can't… Not like that… Obi-Wan…'

Kenobi quickly walks to him and hugs him. Your husband grasps his tunic tightly and shakes in his arms, sobbing.

'You're not going to lose her,' the Jedi says after a moment, his throat tight from emotions. 'You two fought too hard to be together to end it like that. Go to her. Take the twins.'

'What?' the King asks, frowning, and pulls away. His friend grabs his arms.

'Palpatine promised you the power to save your loved ones,' he says and Skywalker flinches. 'He couldn't have given it to you, but [Y/N] did. You three are the most sensitive Force users possibly from the beginning of the universe. If anyone can save her at this point, it's you.'

'How?' Anakin asks in a whisper. Obi-Wan smiles.

'Trust the Force,' he answers. 'You can do it. Go.'

A few moments later Skywalker sneaks your children into your bedroom. They run to you the moment the door closes behind them.

'Mom!' they cry out and climb on the bed. You open your eyes and smile weakly at them. They're startled by the glassy look in your eyes and your hollow cheeks.

'Hello, my darlings,' you say, your voice hoarse. 'I love you so much. Always remember that.'

'We're not here to say goodbye,' Luke denies, shaking his head. 'We're here to save you.'

You look at your husband. His jaw is clenched with determination.

'I should protest against using our children like that, but I really don't want to leave you,' you say after a beat and immediately start coughing.

'Trust the Force, my star,' the King says softly and joins you on the bed. He and your children put their hands on your chest. When you stop coughing, they close their eyes and concentrate. They pour all their hearts into this. All their love for you. They beg the Force not to take you.

After what feels like forever, they open their eyes, exhausted. They look at your face hesitantly. Their hearts stop. There's no change on your face and you smile sadly.

'I love you all so much…' you whisper and close your eyes. Your chest stops moving.

'Mommy, no!' Leia shouts and grabs your nightgown. 'Mommy, come back! I.... I promise to study to be a good ruler more diligently! I will be a good daughter! Just please, come back!'

'I promise to study, too!' Luke cries, also grabbing your nightgown. 'I will be the best son you could have hoped for. Please, don't leave us…'

They hide their heads in your chest, crying. Anakin stares at you with despair. He sobs and rests his head on your stomach. He lost you. His heart, his soul. You're gone. He couldn't have saved you.

Suddenly, a hand gently caresses his hair. His head springs up. He looks at you with wide eyes and sees yours open. You smile at him. There's a slight color on your cheeks.

'Thank you, my phoenix,' you say. Your children's heads shoot up at the sound of your voice.

'If anyone's a phoenix today, it's you,' Skywalker chuckles. He takes your hand and starts kissing it. You laugh.

'Mom!' the twins shout and hug you.

'Ow, ow!' you say and laugh. 'Okay, mommy is happy to be here as well.'

You hug them back and smile at your husband. He cries but this time with happy tears. He did it. He and your children saved you. You're not going anywhere.

'Did you find out who is responsible?' you ask a few days later when you are alone with Anakin.

'Esmovink,' Skywalker answers reluctantly after a moment. You frown at him.

'He was angry you're happy,' he says and hesitates. 'Happy with me. He thought if he can't have it, no one can.'

'So, it really was to hit me,' you say quietly. 'All the people that died… Just to kill me.'

'Not just for that,' your husband denies. 'He knew your people dying will cause you pain.'

'I hope he rots in jail,' you say after a pause. Anakin smirks.

'Oh, I'll make sure of that,' he promises. 'And on the bright side, we finally have a cure. Shame they didn't have it when you were dying…'

'I had my Jedi to help me,' you say with a smile. He takes your hand in his.

'You scared me,' he says. 'So much. I… I thought I lost you.'

'I'm sorry,' you say quietly and squeeze his hand. 'Hold me?'

'Gladly,' he answers and gets into the bed with you. He hugs you tight. He knows you still have to recover. But you're alive and he's going to make sure it stays that way. Because he wants to get old with you together.
