Padme's life was starting to return to normal, she was cleared yesterday by her Doctor and doesn't require anything further, no medication and no further treatments. The twins have been cleared as well and are starting to get used to their large dark room, even though its only been a day. They are only three days old now and Anakin can already sense the Force within them both, they will definitely follow in Anakin's footsteps but until then, Anakin will be the only Sith or Jedi in the Galaxy, that he knows of.

Padme was more active, getting out of bed and walking around. Anakin felt her walking around and he went to meet her before starting his day.

"What the Force are you doing up? You should be lying down, there is no need to push yourself." Anakin said as he met her in the living room.

"I had twins, it's not like I had brain surgery or something." Padme rebutted and Anakin smiled and nodded, that was his Padme, as stubborn as ever.

"Right." Anakin said. "I should know better."

"Yes, you should, Anakin Skywalker." She said walking right past him into the kitchen.

"Are we going to talk or are you going to keep up this attitude with me?" Anakin asked as he walked behind her closely.

"What do you want me to say? I just gave birth, I found out that you Force choked me, nearly killing me. You killed your friend, Obi-Wan, you killed younglings. You expect me just to forget all of that?" She shouts, and Anakin sighed trying to control his anger which hasn't been easy with everything that just happened in the last few days and the war before that.

"Maybe, I expect my wife, of all people to trust me!" Anakin shouted. "You know me! I told you what happened and I didn't hold back. I said no more secrets and I held up my promise to you. I was born as a slave then I became a slave of the Jedi having to conform to their rules, their order then I was a slave for a short time to the Sith Lord. I had to fight for the Republic, but what about me! Who fought for me? No one did! Who fought for my mother who was abducted and murdered? No one. The Jedi and Obi-Wan told me to forget her and even when I was plagued with the nightmares they didn't care! They just said they would pass in time, when I knew something was wrong and said as much. This galaxy is a cluster fuck, Padme! And I, WE are in a position to change it to our liking. You said just a few days ago that the Republic may be the one who we were fighting against! Guess what, you were right! We can change that. These younglings, they were Jedi. They weren't children, they didn't have parents, or at least didn't know them, they ceased to be children, they were JEDI! They were taken from their homes, they had to conform to Jedi beliefs and yes, I regret that I had to kill them but that was the only way I could save you, our children and the rest of this damn galaxy. They kept telling me about my prophesy and this was how it was supposed to be! It might not've been the best way, but the Emperor would've done worse. He was the Dark Lord of the Sith! He is built around anger and ruling with an iron fist, and I let him believe that I was under his control, well I was under his control... for a short time. Yet, here I am, with you and we are able to do as we please without others telling us how to live our lives or having to keep our love and children a secret." Anakin said as he stopped to take a breath, he said most of what he wanted to say, what he had to say. "I have to go. We can continue this later." Anakin said and walked out of the apartment with his eyes shining golden yellow, he didn't want to leave like that but he was losing control and needed to regain it.

Padme didn't know what to do. She just stood there and let her emotions overcome her as the twins began to cry, no doubt feeling the disturbance in the Force from their father. "Great." She muttered to herself as she went to go check on them.

Anakin arrived in his office, he looked out the window waiting for the Commander of the Storm Trooper Corps to arrive. He was furious with his conversation with Padme, trying to make him sound like the Emperor, like a Sith... and that is when Cody walked in.
