Since they had gotten home a few weeks back, Padmé was pleasantly surprised that things were much calmer and less hectic than she had originally expected.

She was definitely loving life way more than she had on Earth.

Padmé: Yeah, so I don't know who brainwashed me into thinking that being a lawyer was going to be the rest of my life.... or that it was the most enjoyable thing in the world.

And yes, she had been offered the position of Coruscanti Chancellor.... but she had declined it.

Padmé: For many good reasons.

Anakin: One being me.

Padmé: Anakin! *sighs* You're a mess.

Anakin: Oh, I'm not just a mess. I'm a hot mess, at that.

Padmé: Anakin, you're full of it.

Anakin: *winks*

Padmé: Some reasons being (why I declined the position of Chancellor), number one:

Anakin: *waits*

Padmé: Yes, you, Anakin. Secondly, I have kids. I need to spend time with them; be a good mom and get to know them a little better. And last, but not least: I believe it's right that I continue to represent my home planet.

Anakin: *lets out an in-love sigh* You're such an eloquent speaker, m'lady.

Padmé: *narrows eyes* Shut up.

Anakin: Yes, ma'am.

Anakin had been promoted Jedi Master, Luke and Leia were maturing an learning quick, and overall, life was just good.

The Skywalkers were considering moving to Naboo to raise their children in a calmer and quieter atmosphere, but then it would interfere with their jobs. Padmé would have to move her office to home, which would require her to have to travel constantly back and forth between there and Coruscant at the Senate building. It wouldn't matter much for Anakin, but he would still have to travel to the Temple to attend occasional meetings in the High Council Chamber with all the rest of the Jedi Masters.

Anakin: So, there's not much interesting detail left to the story.... but we're doing just fine. What do you think, Angel?

Padmé: *smiles* Yes. I think we're doing just fine, too.

Life was so much better on Coruscant, or just in the galaxy at all. Even if she could, she would never go back to Earth again, and she would most certainly never trade her family now to feel the loneliness she felt then, back when life wasn't so.... great.

Not nearly as great as it was now.
