Final Chapter

6 months later

Padmé gently fastened Luke's diaper while Jobal held and rocked Leia back and forth.

"You're getting good at that." Jobal remarked.

"Thanks Mom." Padmé said.

"The real talent will come when you can change Leia's diaper, with Luke in the other hand." Jobal laughed.

"Oh my Lord, Mother!" Padmé laughed as well while she dressed Luke.

They turned when there was a knock. Anakin stood in the open doorway holding two child speeder safety seats.

"Are they ready to go?" He asked

"Yes dear." Jobal said.

"Fresh and clean." Padmé replied.

"Good. Good." Anakin said as he walked into the room and set the seats on the ground.

They gently placed each twin in a seat.

During the past six months, Anakin and Padmé had made many hard decisions. Anakin had decided to leave the Jedi Order and Padmé decided to leave the Senate. The wanted simple lives on Naboo. Anakin was going to find work in a garage and Padmé was going to stay home with the babies for now, until they were old enough for school. After that, who knew!

Once the twins were strapped in, Anakin picked up the seats.

"Is everything in the speeder?" Padmé asked

"Mm-hm." Anakin nodded.

"Artoo and Threepio too?"

"Yes Padmé."

"OK. I'm just double checking everything." Padmé said.

"Well, I've already triple checked everything. So can we go? I want you to see the house." Anakin said excitedly.

While Padmé was busy adjusting to motherhood, Anakin had found a house for them. A small, two bedroom with room to add more for when the twins get bigger.

"Yes. We can go. Bye Mom." Padmé hugged Jobal.

Jobal turned to Anakin. "Bye dear." She hugged him and then they made their way to the front room where the rest of the family was waiting. Ruwee and Sola stood and came over to where Anakin and Padmé stood with the twins.

"Bye Dad." Padmé said "See you soon." She hugged Ruwee.

"Bye sweetheart." He replied. "Be safe, and take care of my new grandbabies."

"We will Dad." Padmé said.

Ruwee turned to Anakin.

"Anakin, I'll put the word out that you're looking for work. I'm sure you'll find something in no time."

"Thanks Ruwee." Anakin said, shaking his hand.

They turned to Sola.

"Bye little sis." Sola said as they hugged.

"Bye Sola. Tell the girls we said bye, OK?" Padmé hugged Sola.

Sola looked and Anakin and gave him a big hug.

"Take care of my sister, and niece and nephew." She said

"I will." He promised.

When they parted, Anakin took Padmé's hand and they each took a twin and made their way out to the speeder. Once they were in, they waved one more good-bye to their family, who had stepped outside to see them off, and with that, they pulled off and made their way toward their new home and their destiny.
