chapter thirty three

"let me talk to her" Anakin asked, "let me talk to my wife"

Darth Sidous, though hesitant, nods. Anakin and Freya get off the jet on mustafar, the jet leaves and they stay.

Anakin watched as Freya's scarlet eyes returned to the green eyes that Anakin loved so much. She takes a deep breath, blinking in confusion.

"Anakin?" She clings to his arms, "Anakin" gives him a hug and Anakin wraps himself around her waist.

"Calm down, my love, I'm already with you and I won't leave anymore" he caresses her hair affectionately.

"I fought, I swear. But he managed to put something in my brain, I couldn't…"

Anakin stopped her by caressing her cheeks, "it's not your fault, I know, I know you protected our son. You are very strong Freya"

Freya looked to where she was and her heart sank as she realized that she was on mustafar, as she thought of the death of Silas, Theos and Nessa. it hurt.

"I joined the dark side"

"Oh, Anakin, no," Freya says. She maybe initially she wanted to keep Anakin on that side, but after realizing the atrocities the dark side is capable of. She refused to stay longer, too bad it's not her decision.

"I will not lose you like I lost my mother. I have become more powerful than any Jedi has imagined and I did it for you, to protect you."

"Anakin we could have found another way, you're still good. You're not broke like me"

Anakin gave Freya a soft kiss and after separating from her he continued caressing her cheeks, "you are not ruined, my love. Now I am more powerful than the chancellor, I will overthrow him soon and you and I will rule the galaxy"

The look Anakin gave Freya made her realize the damage she had caused him. If their paths didn't cross, Anakin would be a great jedi on the right side. But Freya corrupted him and she knew she would take the blame.

As he landed a plane, Anakin turned around facing Freya protectively. From the jet under obi wan that when he saw them together he knew that he was right all this time.

"Freya, in the back of the hideout there is another jet. Take it and go"

Freya looked at him confused, "What? Do you want me to leave you?"

"I'll take care of Obi-wan, but I need you to get out of here"

"What the hell, Anakin? You said we'd never be apart again"

Anakin looked at Obi Wan before turning to Freya.

"I know, I just need to take care of this matter. I'll be there when our son is born."

"You're always late" Freya whispered, still rejecting the idea.

"I won't. I promise"

Freya nodded and let Anakin kiss her, turning into a smile before pulling away from her.

Freya grunted holding her stomach, placed her hands on the walls and leaned against her forehead. She took several breaths.

     "Freya, we can't wait any longer" Padmé tells her, looking at her concerned.

Freya denies with a sweaty face, "it will arrive. He promised it"

"Freya" Padmé approached her and took her by the face, "the baby is coming, I need to get him out of there, do you understand? Anakin is not coming"

Freya's stomach clenched again from her pain, she doubled over and her knees gave way as she fell to the ground. Padmé rushed to try to ease the pain of her fall, she ran to get some pillows and put them on her back.

"He promised"

Padme gave him a sad smile, "I'm so sorry. Now I need you to push, I see a head."

Freya did so she pushed, her hands gripping a pillow, squeezing it tight.

"Push harder, come on Freya, you're close"

Freya sobs and pushes with all her might. She was so tired of everything, she just wanted this all to end. She was giving up when she heard the cry of a small creature.

"Oh Freya, she is a girl"

Padme shows her the little baby in her arms. Freya had never come across such a beautiful creature.

"She is mine?" She asks still not believing that such a pure person came from her.

"Yes frey, she is your daughter"

Freya smiles and just as she lifts her arms to pick up the baby another pang of pain shoots through her, Padme gives her a concerned look and peeks out.

"Freya, you're going to have twins, I can see our heads"

Freya squirms and her fingers tighten on the pillow.

"Push, Freya"

Freya wanted to push, wanted to be able to pull the baby out of her so that it would be safe, but the thought of ruining everything invaded her.

"I can't" she sobs, "I can't do this"

"If you can, Freya. You are the strongest woman I know, you can handle this"

Freya pushed with all her might crying, wishing Anakin was the one to hold her hand.

"He's a boy" Padmé tells her.

Freya leans out and looks at the crying little creatures, still smiling with tears streaming down her face.

"What will their names be?"

"Luke and Leia," she says as she takes Leia's little hand, "my brave children."

She looks at the innocent babies and then at the bracelet she's wearing on her arm, she knows I can't get there. I can't ruin them.

"Padme once told me that if i needs something, whatever, I could ask you"

"That's how it is"

"Take them away, hide them," she asked her"don't let them know who their parents are, that could put them in danger."

"But Freya..."

"Take care of them, okay? Don't let take my babies"

"Oh Freya, I know it's hard for you."

"Just tell them that their mother loves them very much" she wiped away her tears and gave him a smile for the first time, "that she never wanted to leave them, but that she had to protect them."

"What about Anakin?"

"I'll tell him that they died at birth, you shouldn't know either, the less people know of their existence, they will be safe"

Padmé nods and carefully approaches Freya, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, "you're not a bad person, you're a good person to whom bad things have happened"
