Chapter One~ A Beginning.

Anakin sat beside Palpatine, he began asking many questions in his normal inquisitive way. Palpatine became defensive, so Anakin yelled for Obi-Wan. The pair of Jedi fight Palpatine, they are victorious in their fight, however they would have to explain this to the Galactic Senate, and most importantly Anakin would have to explain this all to Padmé.               Anakin arrived home to the condo he shared with his beloved wife Padmé, how he loved her so. He called her name, only to have his pregnant wife rush to him and hug him tightly.

After an awful lot of explaining, Padmé was shocked. She started deeply into her husbands eyes, to See a broken man, upset about his actions, she however was not mad at him for killing Palpatine, she was relieved that the man she loved more than anything in the world, just saved mass amounts of people from the ever strengthening grip of the Dark Side and the Sith. Anakin then realised what he had done was not a crime against the senate, but it was fulfilling the prophecy.

The next morning, Padmé woke to find a note saying, that Anakin had to meet with the Jedi Counsel. Anakin waited pacing around the room, until Obi-Wan and the rest of the counsel walked in. The whole counsel congratulated Anakin and Obi-Wan on their defeating of Darth Sideous. Anakin was confused, he killed Palpatine, he knew nothing of this Darth Sideous. Yoda explained that Sideous took on the role of Palpatine to deceive everyone. Then his worst nightmare came true, the counsel began to inquire about his marriage and the upcoming arrival of his children. Anakin knew he wouldn't be able to lie his way out, so he revealed it all and begged not to be expelled from the Jedi order.

The counsel agree not to expel him, on the condition he did not let it cloud his judgment and push him to the Dark Side, he agreed. He then returned home to Padmé and tod her of the content of the meeting. She was relieved that it was all out in the open, that they no longer had to hide.

Later that evening Padmé began to stir during her sleep, Anakin woke her, only to have her let out a loud painful groan, the baby was coming. They needed to hurry, or everything would crumble into a million pieces.
