Zelena stood on the balcony brushing through her long red hair. "Ani, I want to have our baby back home on Naboo. We can go to the lake country where no one will know, where we can be safe." Zelena turned to face her husband with a grin as she twirled her curls. "I can go early and fix up the baby's room." Zelena turned back to face the sights of the city. "I know the perfect spot. Right by the gardens."

"You are so... beautiful." Anakin looked at his wife who turned around to face him wistfully.

"It's only because I'm so in love." Zelena told him with a smile painted on her lips.

"No." Anakin chuckled as he looked at the redhead. "No, it's because I'm so in love with you."

Zelena feigned seriousness as she stared at Anakin. "So live has blinded you?" Anakin chuckled again looking away from Zelena.

"Well, that's not exactly what I meant." Zelena hummed before smiling.

"But it's probably true." She teased him before striding past him into their room. Zelena was awoken that night to the covers shifting. It becane clear to her even in her drowsiness that Anakin had gotten up. Zelena sat up and followed his fleeting form from the bedroom.

She found him on the balcony outside the apartment. Zelena reached out a tender hand to touch his shoulder with a frown. "What's bothering you?" She continued to caress his shoulder.

"Nothing." Anakin told her reassuringly although it was unconvincing. Anakin reached for the necklace hanging around Zelena's neck. "I remember when I gave this to you."

"How long is it gonna take for us to be honest with each other?" Zelena asked him unhappily and he let go of the necklace sighing in defeat.

"It was a dream."

"Bad?" Zelena asked him cautiously with concern in her voice.

"Like the ones I used to have about my mother, just before she died." Anakin admitted not daring enough to look at his wife.

"And?" Zelena prodded answers from her husband who finally looked at her.

"And it was about you." Zelena tenderly touched his shoulder.

"Tell me." Zelena had hoped that this would help him and not force him into another cave that he wouldn't be able to return from as he did with his mother's death.

"It was only a dream." Anakin stood up and walked away from his wife who knew he was disturbed. Yet, he still turned to face her and tell her. "You die in childbirth."

Zelena placed a hand to her stomach shakily. She knew the visions of the Jedi better than anyone and that they were, more often than not, true. "And the baby?"

"I don't know." Anakin replied shakily causing Zelena to comfort him.

"It was only a dream."

"I won't let this one become real." Anakin pulled his wife closer to him.
