Anakin leaned down and whispered to Padme, "I'll be back in a minute." She nodded and smiled at him.

He walked over to the masters and asked them through the Force, You've made a decision?

Yes, we have. Yoda replied.

Ki-Adi said, You will not be removed from the Jedi Order; we have lost so many in the Clone Wars, but you will be suspended.

'Suspended'? I don't understand.

You will not be allowed to go on any missions. You will go to Naboo with your wife and stay there until the pregnancy is over. You will then come back with the baby and we will test it for Force abilities. We will also see allow you to go on missions again. You may keep your lightsaber for your and your family's protection, but nothing more.

Yes, Masters. Anakin "said". He was relieved; he had expected a more severe punishment.

The Masters turned to go when Ki-Adi turned, Why did Barriss say 'congratulations'?

Anakin smiled and looked at Padme, who was beaming. Its twins. Anakin announced. He felt Ki-Adi's shock through the Force, but Yoda simply nodded as though he had known all along. Anakin walked over to Padme and took her hand. The Masters turned to leave when Padme called out.

"Wait!" They turned and looked at Padme. She turned the monitor to them, and said, "Do you want to see?" They smiled and walked over. They sat there for a moment, admiring the babies.

Anakin and Padme walked into their apartment. They had decided to stay at the Temple for a week so that Padme could be protected to the fullest extent from General Grievous before their departure for Naboo. They were just there to pack and get a few moments alone. They had decided it would be best if C-3PO stayed at the apartment until the day of the move. Then they would come back and get him.

"I can't believe I'm going back home." Padme said. "I actually wish I didn't have to face my mother and father. Wait till they hear of this."

Anakin just smiled. He walked over to her and put his arms around her. "Don't worry. I'll always be there to protect you."

"I know." Padme said. She leaned in closer to Anakin and they kissed.

Padme suddenly pulled away from Anakin and smiled. Anakin looked saddened at first, then looked at her with a quizzically. She took his hand and placed it on her belly. He looked at her confused for a moment, but then smiled as he felt one of the babies kicking. Padme admired his boyish look for the moment that it surfaced.

She then went back to packing her clothes. Anakin helped her move the boxes to either the speeder or the living room, where they would pick them up later.

Two hours later, as the sun was setting, they were done. Anakin walked up to Padme who was standing out on the veranda. "Are you ready to go?" he asked.

"I am now." She said, turning to face him. Hand in hand, they walked out to the speeder and headed to the Jedi Temple.

Anakin and Padme walked down the hallway and laughed at an inside joke. "Well, this is our room. At least until we leave for Naboo."

Padme walked around the room. "It's beautiful!" She exclaimed, looking at the different pictures and relics on the walls. "Where did all of these come from?"

"Well, actually, they're from my room. I always kept a momentum from all of my missions. Obi-Wan never approved of it, but…" he trailed off as he saw one of the pictures. He smiled as he recognized it. "Do you remember this one?"

She turned, "Anakin, how could I remember all of your missions? I'm not a-" She trailed off as she saw what picture he was referring to. "Oh, Anakin," she murmured. The picture he was pointing to was the picture they had took when they were on Naboo in the field of flowers together three years ago. "You actually have that?"

"Yup," he reached down into his pocket and fished around, "And I have another one to put up."

"What?" She asked, confused.

"Close your eyes," he commanded. She did so and he pulled out the picture that he was looking for. He placed it on the wall and stepped back to where Padme stood. He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Now look."

She opened her eyes and gasped. Tears welled in her eyes and blurred her vision. She wiped them away and turned and hugged him. On the wall, next to their picture, he had placed the ultrasound photos of Luke and Leia. Suddenly, Padme's stomach growled loudly. "Well," she said, smiling embarrassedly. "Apparently we're hungry."

Anakin smiled, laughing slightly. "I'll go get something to eat." He said, exiting the room. He reached the end of the hallway and shook his head laughing softly. He abruptly stopped; he almost bumped into someone. "Oh, sor-" he glared as he saw who it was standing there. "What do you want, Mace?"

Mace flinched at Anakin's apparent lack of respect by calling Master Windu by his real name. "I've come to talk, Anakin."

"I think we've discussed plenty back in the Council Chambers. Now if you'll excuse me; I need to get down to the food court."

Mace folded his arms and stood, still blocking Anakin's path.

"I need to get through," Anakin growled. He glared at Mace.

"And we need to talk." Mace adamantly stated.

"NO!" Anakin shouted and pushed Mace backwards slightly through the Force. He ran past Mace and towards the food court. Mace looked at Anakin running past him and shook his head in frustration.

'He always was stubborn.' He thought to himself. 'Just like his old Master.' He turned and walked away.
