The Discovery

Aboard The Executor

Darth Vader was at the medical bay, waiting impatiently for the blood tests results. Vader had just sent the blood sample he took from the blonde girl and a sample of his own blood to a medical droid and a human medic. He wanted to find out if the girl he met was his daughter. A few minutes later, the door opened and the medic entered.

"You have the test results?" Vader asked.

"Yes, Lord Vader," the medic replied, handing him the file.

Behind his mask, Vader's eyes widen in astonishment as he read the data file, he then looked up at the medic, who nodded confirming it.

"Yes, I ran it twice," the medic told him. "The girl's DNA matches yours, which means she's your biological daughter.

Vader fought hard to control his emotions that were falling inside him, emotions that he hadn't felt in a long time.

He had a daughter!

The thought shook him, along with the realization as he thought back after that fateful day on Mustafar.

(Flashback)

The medic droids had finished working on Anakin. The table begins moving upright into a standing position and Darth Sidious moved next to Darth Vader.

"Lord Vader, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Master," Vader then turns his head to Sidious and asks softly, "Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she all right?

"It seems in your anger, you killed her," Sidious replied.

"I- I couldn't have. She was alive. I felt it." Vader cried out.

Vader breaks his bonds to the table, with droids and equipment breaking in the process, and steps forward. "Nooo!" Vader's painful cries echoed through the center.

Sidious smirked how despite the lost his limbs, his apprentice was still very powerful in the Force.

Vader's mind was broken with rage, shame, grief, and by the belief he killed the person he wanted to save.

(End of Flashback)

The Emperor told him that he killed Padme in his anger, but if that was true how did she still able to give birth.

He lied to me!  Vader realized slamming a gloved fist on the wall.

"Are you all right, my lord?" the medic asked, raising an eyebrow. "I know this news must be unsettling..."

"Don't be ridiculous!" Vader snapped him, "Does anyone else know of this?"

The man looked insulted. "Of course not," he told him.

"Good," Vader responded.

His master would pay dearly. As well as Obi-Wan Kenobi, not only did he steal his wife, but his daughter too. Though Vader had to admit it was wise to hide the girl on one of the two planets he would never willingly go to (aside from visiting his wife's tomb during his early years as Darth Vader). Naboo reminded Vader too much of Padme, he had only gone there for an important mission from the Emperor, but Naboo was still better than being raised on Tatooine, where he was from.

Vader then left medical bay to tell the officers to set course for Naboo. He was going to reclaim Lita and he wasn't going to have anything stand in his way.

"Soon my daughter, I shall have you,"  Vader thought to himself.

Author's Note: I never understood how when Vader discovered Luke, he didn't realize that the Emperor lied to him. VOTE AND COMMENT!!!!
