"Luke, Leia, meet uncle Obi-wan."

Obi-wan smiled at the children. The were very cute.

However, he could sense the force being strong with them, abnormally strong.

"These children are very strong in the force, Anakin. You should consider having them trained."

"Well, Obi-wan, perhaps. But, you have to remember how risky it is. The council may begin to ask themselves who could possibly have made children with such abilities." Anakin didn't want to risk the secrecy of their family.

"That is true. Well I'll leave you two alone. I'm sure you'll have a lot to discuss."
....

Later that day, Anakin sat on the couch with Padmé, after finally getting the kids to sleep.

Anakin thought about how easy it would be for his children to tell people who their father was.

He also thought about how often he could actually be home.

"Angel," he whispered.

Padme hadn't been called that in a long time. She looked up at her husband lovingly.

Anakin knew he would stab her with what he said next.

"Maybe, we shouldn't tell Luke and Leia I'm their father."

"What? Ani how-"

"Think about it, if they were to be trained in the force by the temple, they might accidentally spill the  beans."

"Anakin, we don't have to train them..."

"But that would be holding them back. And besides," he held Padmé's hands, "you know how hard it is keeping this a secret. They wouldn't have to."

Padme cried in Anakin's arms, remembering all the sacrifices they had made, the perfect love story they could never have.

"You're right."

(...one year has passed, and Anakin and Padme have decided to train their children when they are older. Now Padmé and Anakin take care of the babies on coruscant...)

Anakin held leia in his arm when he noticed something. She was making a strange sound.
"Dd- da!

"Padmé, get over here, Leia's going to say her first words!!!!"

Padmé rushed over, and rested her arms on Anakin's shoulders.

"Dd, da.... DADA!"

Anakin's heart sank. "No, Leia," his tears were streaming down his face,"I'm not your father. It's- its me-"

At this point Anakin broke down. Padme understood what she had to say.

With a heavy heart, she told leia, "Its uncle Anakin..."
