Mission: An Anidala story

Chapter 2

Anakin left the meeting room and paced outside. He could be with his wife, and act married but the risk of the Jedi finding out was greater.

Padme stepped out to find her husband pacing outside, and intense but unreadable emotion covering over his handsome features. She placed a hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes. They both knew the risks but this was too great an opportunity to pass up. They could be an actual couple in public, on their home planet most importantly.

Ahsoka stopped a few meters behind them, a meloncholy expression on her face as she watched her parental figures. Even though they denied a relationship, she could see the bond and love between them. She longed for a connection like that, but with a firm shake of the head, Ahsoka reminded herself that she was a Jedi, sworn to no love, no attachments.

With a pained sigh, she pasted a smile on her face and walked towards them.

"Hey! I can't wait for this mission. Pretending for 6 months would be difficult though wouldn't it?"
The older couple exchanged an uneasy look then Anakin responded.

"Well, Snips it won't be as difficult as having to be nice to you all the time." He said with a chuckle. Padme's holopad then beeped and she said her goodbyes and departed for her meeting.

The Master and Padawan walked to the gym in the Jedi temple, talking.

"So, Skyguy, wanna work out for a bit? Or are you getting old?" She teased.

"You wish Snips, I'll beat you easily! Race you to the gym!"

They took off laughing. A few hours pasted and it was soon night on the city planet.

Anakin stopped of at Dex's Diner and picked up his wife's favourite meal along with flowers and a box of chocolates. He opened the door to their home to see Padme's cloak and bag on the couch and heard the shower running in the ensuite bathroom.

The Jedi walked into his room and smiled as his wife slowly undressed to get ready for a shower. Anakin put his arms around her small, naked frame and put his head on her curly brown hair.

"Mind if I join you Angel?" Padme laughed, enjoying the feeling of her husband around her. She stood on tiptoes, kissed him on the nose and saunterd into the bathroom, fully naked. Anakin smirked and thanked the force he was married to such a gorgeous woman. Practically tearing off his clothes, he went to enjoy a steamy shower with the love of his life.

Obiwan sat in his room and stared at the holo of his love,  The Duchess of Mandolore.

"Obi, there is something on your mind I can tell."

Sighing, the older Jedi Master looked at the small blue figure of the woman he loved but was never allowed to confess his love to. Satine's blonde hair was in an elaborate braid and her regal clothes radiated power and fortune.

"Yes, my love there is. I think Anakin has a relationship with Senator Amidala, and I can't help but feel betrayed that he never told me himself."

"Darling, you're like a father to him and it's sometimes difficult to talk to someone you admire so much. Give him time, he will tell you."

Kenobi smiled and looked fondly at the hologram.

'If only that were true, dear' he thought.
