A/N/Disclaimer: if you don't like fluffiness or smut, then skip this chapter. It's their wedding day, so you know how that goes. If you don't want to be scarred, then imagine Eden and Anakin as the innocence of Padmé and Anakin's wedding at the end of AOTC. And thank you to all that are actually sticking around. I might include some episodes from Clone Wars before jumping into ROTS. Enjoy😊

Anakin waits outside my chambers as I shower. I dry off and pull my towel back to look to my stomach and notice the small scar—then peering into the mirror to see the matching one on my back. I shrug my shoulders at my reflection as I wrap myself back in the white towel and head into my room. There, a long white dress laid perfectly across my duvet with a small note. I fur my brows with a small smile and pick up the piece of paper.

My love,
Something to wear, as a gift from Padmé, for our secret getaway.
Love, Flyboi.

I bite my lip and softly giggle before placing the note in the top drawer of my nightstand. It was a beautiful sweetheart neckline spaghetti strap lace dress that stopped just at my ankles. Heading to my dresser, I slip on fresh white panties before pulling on the beautiful gown. I also slip on a pair of white flats to match and once my hair is a third of the way dry, I pin the top half back, sure to pull out front pieces to frame my face.

Once I was satisfied with how I look, I head out of my room to see Anakin leaning on the adjacent wall. He curses under his breath as I do a quick spin for him. "Extraordinary." That was all the boy had to say to get me to sheepishly blush. We then walk in silence side by side until we reach the hangar where my mother and best friend were waiting with our two boisterous droids.

Mom catches me as I run straight into her arms. "My precious girl. I'm glad to see you are finally awake and well." The faint echo of her screams and cries for me fill my senses, "I'm sorry for frightening you. No parent should have to witness their child getting hurt." She pulls back and caresses my face in her fragile hands before kissing my button nose, "Anyone in their right mind would've be scared of that scene. It was a natural instinct. Now, let's not dwell on the past."

I nod with a smile as mom ushers me up the ramp to Padmé. She pulls me in for a tight hug, "My stars, I'm so thrilled that you are alright. I couldn't bare the thought of losing a sister." I rub her back, kiss her cheek and assure the girl, "Can't get rid of me that easily." We giggle as Anakin, Mom, 3PO and R-2 walk past us and take their seats. A few moments later and we were back in the warm planet of Naboo.

As we head back to the villa, Anakin and I walk hand in hand when I inhale sharply, "I just love Naboo's sweet scent of flowers." Anakin smirks as we head up the steps, "Just wait until you see the balcony." I wonder at his words until the familiar balcony comes into view. Red and white rose petals were sprinkled all over the stone flooring around a man who patiently waits. My heart skips a beat, "Did you do all this?" Anakin shrugs his shoulders, "Well, it was Padmé's orders. She wanted to make sure you had the most perfect wedding."

My eyes widen, "What?" Anakin frowns and quickly becomes nervous, "I-I thought you would've caught on by now. Today we are to be wed." My breath hitches in my throat. Married? Today? I then look towards the smiling minister who was softly speaking with Padmé. Mom stood smiling at us while standing next to 3PO and R-2. Sensing my shock, Anakin groans, "Oh, was I wrong to do this?" I quickly shake my head, "No! No, you just caught me be surprised is all."

Anakin grabs my hands in his and looks deeply into my eyes, "So you do want to marry me?" Without hesitation I nod, "I have wanted to call you my husband since the moment you asked." Anakin smirks and blushes slightly before guiding me towards the minister.

"As I have been instructed by the Senator, this is meant to be a ceremony kept under wraps." The minister states as a matter of fact. Anakin and I chuckle at the man and nod before joining hands as the minister starts the short intimate ceremony. It was time for the vows and my heart drops as I know I'll just have to wing it when the time comes.
