Padme opened the door and saw her husband.With a smile,she let him enter but her smile faded when she saw his expression.Her husband buried his head in her hair and she felt his pain.She took him to the sofa.

-Ani,what is wrong?Why are you so downcast?-he sighed.

-I should tell you something terrible.-Padme looked shocked and he told her everything he had discussed with the Father.When he finished,she had a deep frown on her face.After his last word,she slapped him hard.Then once more.

-Never ever again even think about doing something for me,without asking me!-she yelled furious.Then she forced herself to calm down because her husband began to tear up.-Sorry,Ani.I just...-she hugged him and felt him relax a little.

-What are we going to do?I need to find Ahsoka and get Barriss out of the prison before she is executed.-he raised his head.-I have only a day and a half.

-Shh,we will find a way.I can talk with Master Luminara and the Chancellor and pretend that the prisoner is wanted in the High Council due to her Master's request.-Anakin's face lit up a bit and Padme smiled.-And you can go to Lux.You certainly know there was something between him and Ahsoka.He will most probably know where she is.-Her husband smiled widely when he heard about Lux and Ahsoka.

-Thank you,Padme.I swear that if this Code doesn't change I will leave like Ahsoka and we will be together.-Padme grinned wider.Her husband was definitely better.-Ok,I will go and talk with Bontiri.You talk with Sidios and Master Unduli.Damn it,you have the harder job.-she laughed shortly.

-You have always been lazy.-she teased him.-It will be good if you can do your part alone.-he frowned then laughed,too.Then they parted and he left.Padme took a deep breath.She knew her part was hard.She now knew that all the attempts to kill her were most likely Palpatine's plot.She was the leader of the opposition for the War continuing.She wondered how will Lux take the news.His mother was certainly killed by Sidios not Dooku.Now he would want revenge again.She shrugged and pushed away such thoughts.Bracing herself she shielded her thoughts as Anakin had once taught her.She felt a magic barrier rising around her and stepped back in surprise.Then she understood.Her child.It was a Force sensitive.Smiling at the fact,she turned the Holo on.

Anakin was waiting for the Senator of Onderon.He hoped Lux would know where Snips was.After some time,he heard the door open and moments later the young politician was standing before him.He was a beautiful boy with brown hair and eyes full of life.His figure was slimand yet not weak.Anakin remembered when he had trained him and the rebels on Onderon.Lux stared at him quizzically.Then he bowed.

-Master.........-he began but Anakin stopped him,raising his hand.

-Let's leave the formalities,Lux.I need your help.-the young Senator frowned.

-I know what you mean but I promised her I won't tell you.-before Skywalker could argue Lux continued.-But I can assure you,she is fine.

-But I need her here!Please,Padme needs her,too.-he knew bringing Padme was a good trick.Lux held her in awe and loved her like a mother.Just as he loved Ashoka as a daughter.Lux was silent for a moment.

-I will speak with her and tell you tomorrow.-Anakin wanted to say something but restrained himself.He was sensing Ahsoka's influence on Lux's life signature.He had seen her yesterday or maybe even this morning.A suspicion entered his mind and he knew that he will be busy for the rest of the day.And that Padme was right and he would need her help to finish his part of the job.He nodded his thanks and left the office.

Later this day,Senator Bonteri exited the Senate building and set off towards his apartments.He didn't notice the two figures that followed him,keeping distance between him and themselves.After some time he reached his place,where a servant ran to his side,took his speeder and went to park it on the back.Lux entered the building and headed for his apartments.His followers didn't follow him.One of them took out a spy drone and driving it skillfully,flew to one of the windows.The other person took out a small video screen.After some minutes,the first made a triumphant noise and smiled to his partner.The other one returned the smile.

Ahsoka was lying on her bed,thinking about her last dream.She had talked with the Daughter three times and the last one she told her that someone would need the Togruta soon.She was worried.Hearing the door open,she turned and saw Lux.He had a worried expression and she wondered what had gone wrong this time.

-What happened,Lux?Why are you so worried?-he managed a weak smile when she stood up and kissed him softly.He returned the kiss and embraced her.They continued kissing and she dragged him on the bed.He was beginning to relax but suddenly he tensed up and pulled away from her.-Tell me, Lux!-he sighed and told her about her Master and Padme.Realizing it must be connected she told him about her dreams.-I hope,there isn't something very important.I can't come back after what happened.

-I know.-said a voice behind them.A familiar voice.They both turned and saw two figures on the doorway.Lux turned to the servant and then to the speaker.

-Did you use your powers on my servants?Master Skywalker this is.....-he stopped when the second person spoke:

-They weren't tricked.You were just overruled-with that they both let their cloaks fall.The first was,of course,Anakin and the second was Padme.They both smiled at them and entered the room.

-Master,Senator Amidala.-greeted them Ahsoka,recovering from her shock.Lux's anger had disappeared and he bowed slightly.Then he gestured to the bed and all took seats.

Anakin hugged Ahsoka and some tears escaped her eyes.Then Padme embraced them both and smiled.

-It is good to see you together.-both teenagers reddened and Anakin laughed.-I hope you use protection.It will be a little early for Bonteri or Tano junior.-They blushed even more..She couldn't contain her laughter anymore and laughed but then Anakin put his hand on her shoulder and frowned.

-We came because we were told to.But as I see,the Daughter already warned you.-said her Master and told her everything that he had discussed with the Father and Padme.When he reached Barriss,she cried out in joy and tears started flowing down her cheeks.Anakin finished and waited for her answer.-I want you to know that I don't force you.You must come but if you are strongly against it I will not press you.-she nodded and buried her head in Padme's robes.

-I will come.But I want Lux and Padme to come,too.-Skywalker nodded and hugged her.

-We will change this Code,Snips.-he then smirked at Padme and turned to the girl in his arms.-If we don't then you can come and live with family Skywalker after I leave the Order.-her head jerked up and she stared at him in shock.

-Family Skywalker?-she turned to Padme and saw her massive smirk.Widening her eyes she uttered.-You are married!?When!?

-At the beginning of the Clone Wars.I escorted her home and we married with R2-D2 and C3PO witnesses.-answered Anakin.He felt better now when his secret was shared.

-So that is why you were so tired,Padme.-put in Lux and Ahsoka almost broke her neck when she turned to the Senator.Then she looked at Padme,her face showing a complete shock.

-Y-Y-You are pregnant?-the woman nodded and smiled.Struggling to sort out the shocking information,Ahsoka leaned back and took a deep breath.-When will...?

-I am in the third month.But it is already powerful.-she turned to her husband who raised his eyebrows.-It shielded my mind when I talked with the Chancellor.I doubt he suspected something because you told him about our marriage and my pregnancy.He agreed to let Barriss out but in condition that her sentence won't be discussed.

-Well,we will have to disobey this one.Now,we should go because someone will see us.Tell the servants to keep silent and give them some coins.-they stood up and gave a final hug.-Farewell,Snips.Ahsoka smiled and watched the couple leave.Then she turned to Lux and dragged him on the bed once more.She would worry tomorrow.Now they were alone and she wanted to spend time with her boyfriend.But she would keep in mind what Padme and Anakin had said about protection.She had forgotten that if they had a child,it would be a Force sensitive and being so close to the Temple it would be hard to keep their kid for them.She wondered what would her Master's child will be.Will it be a boy or a girl?Will it has its father's recklessness?Or his mother's cleverness?Will he talk with his lightsaber or will it become an incredible orator as his mother?And most important-will it grow in the Jedi Temple? She shrugged and released the thoughts,focusing on the moment she shared with Lux.
