THE GIRLS WALK BESIDE ME AS WE RUSH THROUGH THE DESERT. Anakin's painful feelings are surging through me, despite being far away from him. The force pull is aching, but I ignore it all for the sake of the mission. The Huttlet remains tied to my stomach and I spot the Palace ahead of us.

Ahsoka goes to rush forward but I hold out a hand to stop her. My mind is open and the vision in my mind shows droids revealing themselves from the ground, hoping to surprise us. I unclasp my saber from my belt, holding it in my hands.

I ignite it and the girls do the same with theirs. The sand gets pushed apart and droids make their way upwards. Their weapons glow with purple electricity, causing the girls to panic and fear slightly. The Huttlet stirs on my chest. "Girls, get behind me." I say and use my saber to deflect a slash of the electrical blade.

I swing my saber gracefully, deflecting and slicing the droids as the girls remain behind me. The girls are no match for these droids. I slice one in half and use to force to destroy another, leaving one droid left. It reaches for another weapon, holding two glowing blades in its hands.

I rush to slice off its arms, flipping over it before slicing off the droids head. I land gracefully, and the droid falls to the ground. I glance down at the baby clinging to my chest. It still sleeps. Ahsoka and Darana rush over to me. "Master, are you alright?!" I tip my head in a nod at the two of their words.

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" I question the girls, and my eyes lift to look at a speeder which speeds towards the palace on a different road. "Master!" Ahsoka calls out, but Anakin doesn't stop, he can't hear over the sound of the wind. My eyes follow him for a moment before returning to glance back down at the Huttlet.

"We best get the Huttlet home, who knows what General Skywalker might accidentally do." I say to the girls and we rush towards the palace. I clip my saber back to my belt and hold a hand on the baby's back. Guards stand at the front of the palace, and they point their weapons at us.

"We're here to return Jabba The Hutt's son. Please let us inside." The guards step to the side, allowing us to pass through the gates. I use the force to guide me through the building, and I find Anakin with his ever held out against the large Hutt whilst guards point blasters at him.

"Stop." I say and eyes turn to face me. I take the Huttlet from my robes and walk over to his father. The baby opens his eyes and I hand him to his father. I move to stand beside Anakin. Ahsoka and Darana stay by the door, watching the two slugs.

The two of them hug for a moment before the large hut turns to Anakin and I. He speaks huttesse and a droid translates. "You are to be executed, immediately." I reach for my saber and ignite it, standing back to back with Anakin as the two girls do the same.

"I wonder why this happens everywhere you go." I call out to my husband, whose back presses against mine. He lets out a chuckle and cracks a small smirk. "I wonder that too, sometimes." No blasts are fired at us, we're just waiting. The sound of something ringing enters my ears.

"Your uncle Ziro is contacting us." A droid calls out to Jabba, and a holograph stands in front of Anakin and I. It's Padme, she's on the holograph. I haven't seen her in months. "Greetings, honourable Jabba. I am Senator Amidala of the Galatic Congress." Padmé's holograph calls out.

"I have discovered a plot against you by one of your own. Your uncle will admit he conspired with Count Dooku to kidnap your son and frame the Jedi for the crime." The holograph flickers to show another Hutt. Jabba lets out a confused and angered noise, the two hutts speak in Huttesse, arguing. I can tell the holographic Hutt is apologetic and it flickers back to Padmé.

"Ziro will be dealt with by the Hutt family most severely." The droid says. "Perhaps now you will allow the republic to use your trade routes and hostilities can come to an end." Padmé suggests and the Hutt chuckles. I tighten my grip on my saber. "Jabba agrees. A treaty is in order." The droid translates. "You will not regret this, Jabba." I turn off my saber, the other three do the same.

Jabba speaks again in Huttese before it gets translated. "The clone armies may move through Jabba's territories." The droid translates and Anakin speaks up. "Senator, you have my gratitude." Anakin calls out and Padmé gives us both a kind smile before the screen flickers away.

The girls are resting in the medical part of the ship, I'm not surprised that they're exhausted. Anakin sits beside me, his eyes glancing at me as we both fly the ship. The corners of my mouth lift into a small smile. "Keep your eyes on flying, Anakin." He chuckles at my words, turning his gaze to face me.

"It's hard not to stare at my beautiful wife." My cheeks warm at the words and I glance over at the door behind us. "The girls might be awake, you should watch what you say." Anakin rolls his eyes, pressing on some buttons on the control panel before turning to face me.

He stares at me softly, whilst I fly the ship. His mouth forms a small smile. "I've missed you, Etta. So much." I can hear the honesty in his voice and I turn away from steering, hoping Anakin somehow found a way for it to auto fly itself. But I also wouldn't be surprised if R2 managed to fly it.

"I've missed you too, Anakin." I turn around in the seat and Anakin reaches his hands to my face, cupping my cheeks. I stare up at him and he softly looks down at me before our lips join in a kiss. My heart beats quickly within me and my skin feels warm from his touch. I think I'm starting to understand what he does to me.
