Anakin's POV
I woke up to the sound of crying babies. Will they ever stop crying? I got out of bed before Prim woke up. I went into their room and calmed each of them down. I put them back to bed when they stopped crying.
I went back to the bedroom and realized that Prim was awake. "Well good morning," she said.
"Good morning," I yawned.
"I need to start my Jedi duties again and so do you, we need someone to babysit them," she told me.
"I know, we really didn't think this through," I said.
"Umm... we could ask... 3PO, only one I can think of," she sighed.
"Really? When they're older he can watch them," I said.
"I heard that sir," 3PO said causing Prim to laugh hysterically.
"Who else are we gonna ask," she whispered and calmed down.
"Alright fine," I agreed.
"3PO, will you watch the kids while we're gone," she asked 3PO.
"Of course madam," he said.
"Are you sure you should go back, it's only been 1 month," I warned her.
"We won't be there long," she said, she doesn't want to, I can sense it.
I let out an audible sigh.
"The council said I had to be back as soon as I felt better," she explained.
"You don't feel better if you don't want to leave your kids yet," I pointed out.
"You are right," she caved in.
"Alright, I'll be home soon," I said softly and kissed her head.

I arrived at the Jedi temple. I saw Obi Wan and Master Yoda. I approached them. "Hello," I greeted them.
"Anakin, I have terrible news," Obi Wan said.
"What is it," I worried.
"It's about Alex, she's turned to the dark side," Obi Wan's voice trailed off.
"What," I choked.
"It's true, we have a security hologram of her becoming Palpatine's apprentice. She took your spot. She's very powerful and wants more power," Obi Wan explained.
"Why'd she do it," I thought out loud.
"Anakin, barely any Jedi are left, before we know it the temple we are standing in now will be ashes. I believe Palpatine has told the clones to execute order sixty-six," he told me.
"This is terrible," I said.
"I know, your children are a target for Alex and Palpatine. Palpatine had made an empire. He is building a Death Star. He plans to trick you Anakin, I know it," he explained.
His words were so unbelievable. I knew they were true. What am I going to do? I have to protect the twins. I have to protect Prim.
"What are we gonna do," I asked.
"Ready for them we are, kill the emperor you will," Yoda told me.
I don't care how long it takes. I will save my family and end this war.
