PLEASE REVIEW :)

Padme decided to stay on Mandalore and talk with her friend, Satine. The next day Satine and Padme sat in Satine's large room. "Now how old are Luke and Leia? They are so cute!" Leia was enjoying pulling at the large necklace dangling from Satine's neck.

"Almost three months! It's flying by more quickly than I thought. Now let's talk about you….you and Obi-Wan. How's it going?" Padme put on her teenage girl voice and gossiping smile.

Satine leaned towards her best friend. "Really well," (She leaned back because it gave Leia access to her earrings) "I think we will marry before the year is over."

Padme looked at her as if she was crazy. "Obi-Wan? Kenobi? Married?" She laughed, "Anakin may have married me in a few months but, Obi-Wan is a completely different story." Padme immediately felt bad for discouraging her friend.

Satine's smile faded. "Well perhaps he might change his mind! Hm!" She said curtly, stood and walked away with Leia still tugging at her long necklace. Padme almost went after her but decided that it was best to stay put until her anger subsided.

Satine's short temper got the best of her as she approached Anakin and Obi-Wan. "Obi-Wan Kenobi come tell Padme that we will be married someday in the near future." She then turned to Anakin, "Your wife says Obi-Wan would probably not marry."

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin with a warning look. So Anakin said, "Well Obi-Wan never has mentioned marriage, I think I'll stand by my wife." Satine laughed handed Anakin Leia and stormed out.

"Thanks a lot, Anakin! Thanks. A. Lot." Obi-Wan half-yelled.

Anakin laughed. "Well I have got a wife and I'd like to keep her. In other words I had better agree or I will be killed with my own lightsaber." Little did he know Padme had heard.

She strode into the small room with Luke on her shoulder. "Oh, I get it. You agree so I don't get mad? So do you think Obi-Wan and Satine will be married before the year is up?" Anakin just stared at his wife and barely noticed Leia pulling at his neck-length brown hair.

"Men!" Padme and Satine said at the same time.

Obi-Wan spoke up at last, "To be honest I don't even believe we will be married before the year is over." They heard a sob from outside the door. "Sith she is over emotional like you sometimes Padme! Well see you later...I hope,"

Padme stopped him, "You talk about us like that ever again and I will kill someone with their own lightsaber and it won't be my husband." Obi-Wan took the warning to heart and went to comfort his girlfriend. "So. What are you going to do about my dad? I want to know why he is doing this."

Anakin scooted closer to her and said, "Well we aren't sure where he is but he doesn't have Palo anymore. Palpatine is dead. We are thinking they were the new Sith that when I killed Palpatine your father or Palo was his apprentice. (A/N Let's say Anakin didn't turn on Mace and killed Palpatine.) Then Palo or your dad recruited the other to keep the two Sith thing." When he stopped talking Padme nodded in agreement.

But she still had a question, "So will he strike back if he doesn't have an apprentice to continue on the Sith? If he dies so does the Sith, right?" She sat Luke on his blanket and tried to sit Leia down to but Anakin wouldn't let her.

"Don't take my princess Leia!" He pulled Leia closer to his chest. "About the Sith thing we don't think he will strike again until he has another apprentice and we are keeping the Padawans and Younglings as close as we can to the Temple so that nothing can tempt them. Master Yoda is working hard with them so they can resist."

Padme smiled, "Maybe we should go back to Coruscant. I mean Satine is mad at me, Obi-Wan and her need a little time together without us.. I love this place but, Coruscant is home well, when I'm not on Naboo. When should we leave?" She finished and waited for Anakin's answer.

As he tickled Leia's stomach he said, "I see what you mean. We can leave tomorrow morning. I love you."

"I love you too." She said then put Leia down, and kissed him. It was brief but it was a kiss. "We'll tell Satine and Obi-Wan at dinner. I am going to take a nap, see you later." She stood and walked out leaving the twins and Anakin to watch a pod race.

At dinner Padme and Anakin told Satine and Obi-Wan. "But we don't want you to leave," Satine said.

"I know but, I want the twins home. They are used to Coruscant. We love Mandalore but we just can't stay, I'm sorry." Padme explained to her friend. "I'm sorry about earlier as well. I guess I just don't know Obi-Wan like I thought I did."

Satine laughed, "Don't worry about it." She looked at Obi-Wan. "Go on tell them the news!" Padme looked at Anakin and vice-versa.

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin, Padme, and Rite. "Well I spoke with Master Yoda today and we arranged for me to stay and protect Satine until the bombers are found."

Rite smiled, "Yay! You know that means more missions for me and Anakin!" Anakin looked sternly at her. "Fine. Master Skywalker."

"Obi-Wan, you can't just stay here. I am going to need your help, you've always been there with me on missions." Anakin said.

Obi-Wan almost gave in. "What about Ashoka? I mean, you trained her so she should be a pretty good partner." Satine and Padme nodded.

Anakin just looked at him. "Me and Ashoka are too stubborn to work together. Remember the time she almost left the Council? Heck, remember the time I almost left the Council? We were to stubborn to change our ways. We both had you to change our minds. It's the same on missions, we are to stubborn to admit we are wrong and we in danger many people. We need someone to convince us. That someone is you." Anakin took a deep breath and stood up pulling Rite with him.

"Where are we going, Master?" Rite asked trying to pull her arm out of his grip. "I'm still hungry."

Anakin spoke curtly, "To meditate." Rite rolled her eyes. "Jedi must meditate my young Padawan you know that." Padme knew Anakin couldn't make it without his best friend. She knew what she had to do: reason with Obi-Wan and Satine both of them would be very stubborn on this topic.

As soon as Anakin and Rite left the room Padme spoke. "Obi-Wan, Satine, I know you love each other but, Obi-Wan you have an unspoken order to protect Anakin from the Dark Side, as do I. But, I'm hardly ever there when he is around a Sith Lord and you always seem to be. I can help him battle the feelings at home but, you must help him battle those feelings when he is around the people who are triggering them." She took a deep breath and looked at them "I have to go check on the twins so I am leaving you to think about the consequences that could come from this decision. Good night."

Anakin and Rite sat in the small room in silence. "Master?" Rite said.

Anakin looked at her, "Yes, Rite?"

"I know what you're thinking about. And I think you should stop thinking it." She told her Master.

Anakin had a slightly alarmed look on his face. "And what would that be?" He tried to clear his thoughts.

"You're regretting everything. Being a Jedi, marrying Padme, and having Luke and Leia. And deciding to train me." She left the room with one final statement: "Fear leads to the dark side, Anakin."
