{On a wing and a Prayer}{Open}

[Padme Amidala]

The sun beamed onto the promanade,creeping into the windows that had no curtains drawn over them.Telling the people inside that it was morning,one woman lay sleeping in the bedroom covered in a sea of blankets and sheets.Opening her eyes slowly then closing them again,she shifted in the bed before opening her eyes once more.Pulling the covers back,then sitting up she ran a slender hand through her messy long brown curled hair.Yawning she stretched then pushed herself up,going over to a mirror and glancing into it.

"Ugh I look terrible....".

Didn't most people when they woke up,she turned and then looked down at her stomache.Rubbing it lightly she smiled,Anakin and herself had a secret wedding here then now she is four months pregnant.She grabbed her long blue robe,with gold trim going down the sides and headed out of the bedroom.Her white nightgown and robe swishing out behind her as she walked,Padme headed towards the promanade the doors we're open as she pushed the curtains aside and walked out.

Walking over to the stone carved wall,she looked out to see the view of the lake.There was nothing like seeing this first thing in the morning,she only wished Anakin was here to share it with her.But he was a jedi knight,busy with his duties and she supported him no matter what.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Arriving on Naboo only mere minutes ago Anakin walked from the landing platforms and towards Padme's home he didn't tell her he had few days of from completing another mission for the Jedi though he didn't tell the Jedi he was here but they had their ways of contacting him if they needed him but to Anakin he hopped the four days he had was with Padme. Anakin's Jedi robes flapped as he walked he could see Padme's home getting closer and closer as he continued to walk towards it. Anakin walked up towards the door and knocked on it a few times to wait for Padme to open it. He knew that Padme would be surprised though he didn't know how quickly the mission had finished and the council giving him some time of hell he needed the time of. Looking around the place for a moment and remembered the spot that Padme and himself had their secret wedding; Anakin never forgot about it though lately he had been having weird nightmares about Padme and their unborn child he whished that he could get rid of them maybe Yoda had some advice for him when he got back to the Jedi temple.

Sometimes Anakin would lay up at night not being able to sleep which made him tired the next day and a little sloppy with his training even though he had mastered everything well in his own eyes anyway. Lately Anakin had the feeling that the Jedi council didn’t trust him anymore though he couldn’t quiet think on why. Yawing Anakin knocked a few more times on the door wondering where Padme might be or even if she was up at this time being pregnant and all. Taking a couple of steps backwards Anakin looked around the place once again while he waited for Padme to answer the door. Anakin watched as people went by their daily tasks a few of them nodded to Anakin who nodded back he wondered if anyone else knew that Padme and Anakin where married though if the council knew he would be expelled from the Jedi order but he loved Padme every minuet and will always love her.

[Padme Amidala]

Padme had been nodding off abit,but she heard the knock at the door clear as a bell.Who could be calling at this time of morning,perhaps someone from the Jedi temple.Walking back inside she addressed one of the helping hands,asking them why they hadn't answered the door.They replyed that it was someone for her,then mentioned breakfeast would be ready in a few minutes.Someone for her,the only one's she knew who would visit her at this time of the morning we're Obi-Wan or......Anakin.

Rushing over to the door,as quickly as her pregnant self would let her.Padme unlocked the door then opened it up,most of the hired help here knew they we're married but the only witnesses they had to they're marriage was R2-D2 and C3P0.Giving a tired smile she went out the front door,up to her husband and hugged him.This was a suprise to see him home,she had been a little worried.

"Anakin,I didn't expect you to come all the way here".

It didn't seem the androids we're with him,,not even his master.This meant he had come by himself,ever since coming back to Naboo she had just wanted to hop back on a shuttle and go back to the galatic city.Instead of being here,but she knew it was for her safety and the safety of they're unborn child.

"Does the Jedi order know your here".

[Anakin Skywalker]

Anakin waited for the door to open he wondered why the helping hands didn’t just open the door and tell Padme that he was hear though he guessed that Anakin would wait for Padme to answer and after a few more minutes waiting the door did open and Padme he smiled when she hurried over towards him and hugged him which he returned the hug. “I missed you Padme. The Jedi council had given me four days of and I rushed over hear to be with you.” Anakin explained to Padme as he hugged her. Anakin was surprised when the Jedi council told him he would be receiving days of to him it was a vacation and anything to head back to Naboo which he sneaked onboard late at night so Obi-Wan didn’t notice he left which he will in the morning.

Looking back towards Padme when she asked him if the Jedi order new if he was on Naboo he shook his head in reply. “No they think I’m on some distant planet having a nice relaxing vacation not even Obi-Wan knows I’m gone yet.” Anakin explained to Padme. He didn’t get much time for himself as a Jedi but what ever time he could get of would be with Padme though he did have to do it in secret but Anakin didn’t really care about it. “It’s kind of true.” Anakin smiled at Padme knowing he had four days with Padme. Anakin had left both C3PO and R2D2 back at the Jedi temple knowing that they where batter of there instead of hear where they could pop in at any time.

[Padme Amidala]

"I'm sure he'll find out where you've gone".

Padme knew quite well that Obi-wan would come looking for Anakin,but she was just happy with him being here with her.Four days that meant they could spend as much time as possible,discussing things about the future maybe what with this child on the way.They needed to plan something special,but there was something on her mind lately and just had to ask.

"Anakin are things alright,not just in the galatic city but with you".

She had been worried about him,of course it could just be here imagination.But lately from what she could see,when she was in the galatic city before coming back to Naboo.Was that Ani hadn't been quite himself,now she thought maybe it was because of all the duties and such with the jedi training and missions.So this vacation would probably wash all her doubts away,wouldn't it.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Anakin nodded in reply to Padme she of course was right Obi-Wan would figure out once he realize he was gone but Anakin didn’t really care about he did worry if the council found out they where married. Anakin looked over towards Padme when she asked him is everything was okay with him; funny enough he asked the same question himself not too long ago. “I’m fine really Padme.” Anakin replied knowing that Padme would see right through him. Anakin stood there for a moment looking into Padme’s eyes he sighed and looked away from a moment before realizing that he couldn’t hide it anymore. “I’ve been having dreams lately like the one’s I had about my mother.” Anakin explained; he couldn’t understand why but he did maybe he should ask Master Yoda about when he got back. “These one’s are of you dying in childbirth I have know idea what becomes of the baby.” Anakin replied looking straight at Padme. “I won’t let these dreams come to pass Padme I promise you.” Anakin explained.

[Padme Amidala]

"Anakin,you need to stop having these horrible nightmares".

She was aware of the nightmares about his mother,and of course he would be worried about her.But her dying in childbirth,that wasn't going to happen and she would make sure of that just as he said he would not let those dreams come to pass.Taking his hand in hers,she led him inside seeing as how breakfeast was ready.It was a assortment of fruit,already cut and ready on the table.Once inside the home,one of the maids closed the door and locked it.

"Nothing is going to happen to me,or our baby".

They we're going to have a good future,the baby was going to grow up with loving parents.They we're going to be one big family,she too didn't care if the jedi council found out they we're married it was too late to turn back time now and stop all this from happening.Padme had been hesitant at first,trying to push her feelings aside for the jedi but it didn't work.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Anakin nodded in reply to Padme though he wasn’t quiet sure if he could just get rid of the nightmares maybe in time he could get rid of them then there was the rush of hatred when his mother died he wondered where that came from as well because he was better than he was a Jedi after all. Anakin held onto Padme’s hand as she led him inside since breakfast had just been made; Anakin himself hadn’t had anything since yesterday lunch but didn’t say anything to Padme about it. Looking around the room they where in Anakin realized that pretty much nothing had been changed since his last visit which was good because he hated ever time he had to leave Padme and their unborn child for a long period of time because of missions the Jedi gave him and they tend to be longer and longer with each mission he received from them.

Anakin was happy that he had Padme they tried to push their feelings away and place their duty first before love but it seemed that love was far stronger and Anakin gladly accepted it. Following Padme towards the breakfast table he took a seat. “Your right Padme of course I’ll try and forget about these dreams.” Anakin explained smiling but he wondered if he could. Anakin wondered how long before the Jedi council found out that Anakin had married Padme for now everything seemed perfect, well as close as perfect can get for Anakin. Anakin looked up from his plate and looked towards Padme smiling it has been far too long since they had a time just to themselves and Anakin would make the best of each of the four days they had together. “I love you Padme.” Anakin added in after a moments of silence.

[Padme Amidala]

Padme knew quite well of the nightmares he had,they had gone to his home planet after all.His mother had been everything to him,but he had let hatred cloud his mind and revenge as well.That night he had come back with his mother's body,he had mentioned he killed children the wives and the men.She had been shocked,but in a way she could understand the pain he had gone through of losing his mother.Entering the dining area,she took her seat and watched as Anakin took his.She just seemed to stare at the fruit for a momment,before looking up as her husband spoke.

"Perhaps you should speak to Master Yoda,i'm told he is good at helping Jedi solve problems".

Padme gave a small smile,taking up the fork that was on the left side of the fruit.Sticking it into a pear she brought the fruit up to her lips,then slipped it inside her mouth sliding the fork out and chewing the sweet fruit and swallowing.She was certain they would overcome these nightmares,and if Anakin wanted she could go back to the capital with him.Besides they had a apartment there,well living quarters but that would be after the four days here.

"I love you too".
