Anakin Skywalker Imagines/Oneshots

Unforgivable

Vader pulled his mask off attempting to not frighten the newborn baby girl in the bassinet. With his gloved hand he traced his thumb along her soft cheek.

He lifted the newborn baby into his arms and rocked her. Her (e/c) eyes stared back at him, identical to those of her mother. He knew she would be the spitting image of her mother one day, which is what brought the Sith Lord to tears.

The newborn baby started to wail in her father's arms but he rocked her in an attempt to keep her quiet. "Shhh sweet girl, daddy's got you—shh... daddy's here!" He said rocking the crying baby in his arms.

He loved this little girl and would protect her with his life. He knew that is what his wife would have wanted him to do. He couldn't protect his wife but he would protect his wife's child no matter what.

Vader could sense distress coming from his daughter, she was feeding off of his sadness. If she were only here, she'd know what to do! She'd Always had! Vader thought.

The little girl soon had cried herself out and fell asleep in her father's arms. He sat down in the rocking chair and watched his beautiful and innocent daughter as she slept in peace.

He could feel the tears that rolled down his face the longer he stared at the baby that would never get to meet her mother. Vader blamed himself. He always blamed himself. He could have protected her better. He should have protected her better.

"I'm so sorry, my love! I failed you!"He whispered into the darkness as he kept his eyes on his baby girl. "I will protect her with my life, my love! I promise you!"He promised knowing that somehow someway his wife could hear him.

Living without her was like living without oxygen; it was damn near impossible.

Vader got up from the rocking chair and placed his sleeping daughter into the bassinet. He trailed a finger down her soft cheek and somehow he found a smile deep within himself. This little girl gave him a reason to smile again.

This little girl was now the only thing left alive that the Sith Lord loved. His anger flared, those stupid rebels killed the only other person he ever cared about. He knew he would make them regret ever taking his wife and the mother of his child away from him. Because what they had done was unforgivable!
