I DO NOT OWN STARWARS IT IS PROPERTY OF LUCAS FILM AND DISNEY

Padmé did not want to believe it, but there it was in front of her on the hologram. Anakin slaying the younglings and Jedi in a place he once called home.

The shock from what she was seeing and stress from the day had started her contractions.

The contractions were sharp.

But the shock from everything sent her into a fog between conscious and unconsciousness. She was in that state till she reached Polis Massa.

During that time, she held on.

But she felt every part of her body, her soul, start to drift away from her. She almost gave up, let herself become one with the force.

Till she heard a cry.

That cry she looked up and saw her son. Her healthy baby boy.

But she had to keep pushing. There was something still in there Another one! She listened to droid and kept pushing with all the strength she had left.

She heard another cry.

Padmé looked up and saw her healthy daughter. Her baby girl.

She tried to sit up to see her newborn children. To hold them. But she didn't have the strength.

Padmé crying freely herself now muster up her last ounce of strength she had left and spoken. "…Obi-Wan… my… son name him Luke… Luke Ruwee Skywalker…" Padmé gazed the newborn's cheek as she caught her breath and spoke again. "…my daughter Leia Shmi Skywalker…" she did the same action with her daughter as Padmé still clung to life to muster up one more declaration.

"Obi-Wan… there is good in him… I know. I know there is… still..." she declared with her eyes fading out to the broken Jedi in front of her.

After that declaration, the fatigued senator fell into a sleep that lasted nearly three days.

Master Yoda looked after her while the galaxy fell into chaos. The old green alien thought it was the senator's destiny to die. But her force presence was lingering on and was growing stronger each minute she was surviving.

The old master sensed it was her connection to her children that made her pull through. Her absolute refusal to leave her children to the mercy to the galaxy around her.

This kind of connection is curious to the old master who was full of nearly a millennia worth of wisdom.

While Yoda pondered this, the young mother slowly rose from her slumber and felt the ominous energy in the air.

Next, she moved her hands and felt her flat stomach. My baby! No Babies! Where are they! It has only been a few hours! They are not dead! No…where are they!

"Fine, your children are." The green Jedi master spoke in a gentle voice and sent out calming waves through the force. "Your children, like their father are very powerful. Your fate, unknown, senator was. To be separated the children had. With of Sith in the galaxy the threat. Yeesssssss..." Padmé trying to hold her emotions at bay let Yoda continued. "To Senator Organa to Alderaan Obi-Wan gave Leia, and to the Lars' on Tatooine Luke. Hmmmmmm."

She breathed a sigh of relief. She trusted the people the Jedi delivered her children to.

But she is alive now she at the very least should be able to raise her children.

"Sense worry, I do, you senator from, worry you will raise your children, do not. The only hope for the galaxy, are they, their mother they need." Yoda affirmed, then looked at her solemnly than continued. "But die first, you must, the Empire must know you are alive not. In danger and so are the twins, you are."

Padmé looked at the wise master in thought, this was the only way. She hated the thought of it because it was not in her nature to hide. But it was just her anymore. She had to do what is best for them her children.

"Okay, I just have one request. I must let my family know that I am alive. It would destroy me to know the unbearable pain I put them through. At least let me show them why I must do this." She pleaded and gave a look of desperation.

Yoda knew that the fewer people that knew her survival the better. Especially with Darth Vader lose in the galaxy. Yoda pondered this…

But if that Sith had ever loved Padmé, his guilt would make the Sith Lord stay away from the Naberrie's and Naboo altogether.

Just like his home planet.

Yoda deep was in thought about this for what seemed like an eternity. The Jedi master made his decision.

"Know, they yes will. But real to public must they must attend funeral grief be." At this, the senator lifted herself to hug the tiny green alien as tight as she could muster. Yoda concealed the look of shock with such a display of emotion.

"Yes, I can do that." She almost shrieked with relief "When can I see my children." Padmé asked with anticipation.

"As over, soon as the funeral is. When finished, we are finished, with for going into hiding your arrangements." Said Yoda.

"Alert Obi-Wan I will. Herh herh herh.." Finished the Jedi master.

o-o-o

Obi-Wan was resting the best he can. After everything that happened. The Jedi order is gone. The Republic in shambles with a more menacing repressive Empire. The worst part his brother Anakin, his fall to the dark side.

Obi-Wan felt responsible for most of it.

How did he not see what was happening to him? What Palpatine was doing to him?

His wife! His children!

Obi-Wan could not focus on that now. He had to get to Yoda to see how Padmé was doing.

When both Jedi and Bail helped her through the birth, Padmé was hanging on. At that point in time, all three of them had to think of the twins the future of the galaxy. They came to the hard decision to separate them.

Now the Jedi master was on his way back from Alderaan after he helped Bail return with Leia. One of Padmé's dearest friend who will be there for her and the Republic no matter what.

The master's rest was interrupted by his comlink. "Obi-Wan here…"

"Good the news is not, become one with the force, the senator has. Discuss the next steps in person, we will. Herh herh herh." The blue hologram of the older master said.

Obi-Wan kept his emotion-less Jedi mask on and replied. "Ok, both packages are safe at their destinations."

The Auburn Jedi ended the communication, looked up and saw he was leaving hyperspace shortly. She is alive. She will get raise her children. Obi-Wan knows there will be a time where they will join the fight. But right now the twins will have their mother.

His ship signaled that he was leaving hyperspace. He had a funeral to prepare.

o-o-o

Two days after she rose from her slumber, Padmé sat in her refugee outfit as she watched her funeral on the Holoprojector.

Both Jedi masters used the body of her handmaid Ellé who was nine months pregnant herself. She had an aneurysm on her heart and it burst while escaping Coruscant. It hurt the former senator to think that her family would never know she died.

She looks on at the casket with her hair full of Nubian blossoms. Donned in a blue funeral dress grasping a forged Japor Snippet. The body looked serein and peace in contrast to the galaxy around her.

Padmé had to control her tears when she saw her family in morning. Her mother, her father, her sister, even her nieces.

Soon they will come and they will know I am alive soon.

The young senator watched until she let down to her final resting place.

During that time, she cried for a lot of things. The death of the republic, her democracy, the fall of her husband.

It deep into the night by the time she collected herself. The Nubian senator was slowly the of the future when she heard a water speeder making its way to Varykino.

Padmé looked out the window and had to restrain herself from running out and throwing herself into her family's arms. She promised both Jedi she would not leave the house. Then after she saw them, she would leave that night.

She had a transport waiting for her to take her to Alderaan to Bail's house. There she will be reunited with Leia and Luke soon after.

Padmé, quickly heard footsteps entering the study. The young mother turned around to see the shocked and grieved stricken face of her father Ruwee. He dropped what was in his hand and let out a gasp of shock so loud that Jobal and Sola followed the noise to find out what caused it.

Padmé eyes started leaking as the last of her family piled into the study. She saw the pain, shock, disbelief all swarming the room. Padmé rushed forward and embraced her entire family like they were going disappear.

After they all finished embracing and crying Padmé sat down in the study. She told her family everything. About her marriage, what happened in the Senate to how she nearly died giving birth. But she left the part about Anakin's fall.

She had not even come to terms with it yet.

"Padmé we would have supported you with your choices. You didn't have to hide it from us." Sola said with tears in her eyes.

"I know that now which is why this is going to be hard to hear." She looked up at her mother, father, and sister took a breath and said "I must go into hiding"

"No-"

"No, you can't-"

"I will not lose you again-"

"I must!" breaking up the argument. "I must raise Luke and Leia in hiding. Until they are old enough to begin their training. They are the only hope left for this galaxy." Padmé looked at her family again. "I will try to contact and visit all of you the best that I can." Padmé took a breath. Then looked up at the worried eyes of her family.

"I need you to understand this is the only way for the children and all of you to stay safe," Padmé said in a slight hysteric voice.

She refuses to let the Empire take away what was left of her family.

Her family looked at their youngest member absorbing her words.

"Padmé as painful as this is for all of us, we will respect what you have to do." Said the Matriarch of the Naberrie family. "But I know you will not have to hide forever and this house will be the place we will use to visit you when you can." finished Jobal.

"Yes. I will contact you as soon as I can." Padmé said with a slight smile. Looking at the Chronos on her father's desk, she knew she had to leave for her transport.

"Is it time?" asked Sola in a somber tone

"Yes, it is," said Padmé reflecting her same somber tone.

"You must know that we all love you very deeply. We always here even when we are gone." Ruwee said with a small smile.

Padmé gave each of her family members a big hug before she disappeared into the night.

After a four-hour ride to Alderaan, the former Queen worked hard to conceal her anxiousness. She going to see and hold her two children for the first time. Her twins. Her beautiful children that she refused to leave in this cruel Empire.

She made her way to the speeder that Bail left her and off to the Aldera Royal Palace.

After a short speeder ride, Padmé it made to the entrance of the Palace. From there she made her way through the halls of the privet wing where the Organa's were living. She knocked on the door and waited.

o-o-o

Bail Organa was up gazing at the little girl that he was trusted to look after. Leia. Just a few days old he already knew that she is going to as beautiful as her mother. Padmé.

He smiled.

The senator got word from master Yoda that she had pulled through after the announcement of her death. He attended the funeral and planned to smuggle the young mother from her home planet.

Still gazing at the newborn with the light of the early morning filtering the room the Alderaanian prince was reflecting on the past week.

When the republic fell, the Jedi were destroyed, and how he nearly lost his close friend.

Following the attack on the Jedi temple, and the establishment of the Empire, he rescued Master Yoda and helped him escape to Polis Massa. That is where he saw his dearest friend Padmé was giving birth.

Bail suspected, she was expecting but had no inkling as to who the father was. That is when the old grandmaster informed him of Anakin's betrayal, his attack on the Jedi temple and that he was, in fact, the father of her children.

That fact alone would have been almost enough to pull him away from the sight in front of him. As his friend, he would consider family, held on as she brought life into this world.

When she collapsed in the end, after she named her children, something inside the man nearly broke.

Hours passed and Bail looked at the peaceful sleeping mother. Master Yoda said while she was weak from the delivery, and she was alone in her own mind deciding her fate.

Bail looked over at Obi-Wan who did not even try to mask his despair of what he has been through. Only he knew the fate of his fallen Padawan and he did not look like he was going to share anytime soon.

The wise Jedi along with Obi-Wan decided that the children would be cared for and raised by their mother, and have them trained when the time was right.

But her fate was unknown so both Jedi agreed that the two of them were too strong to be kept together for the time being.

Bail being there for his dear friend agreed to take the little girl named Leia. When he and his wife took her in their arms they instantly fell in love with her.

Fearing the worst fate for her mother Bail took it upon himself to go to Padmé's apartment to retrieve some important items before the Empire took hold of it. He already had that irritating golden droid that Padmé was so fond of and her Astromech droid that seemed to follow her everywhere. They were there when Padmé had given birth.

At her spacious apartment, he took some of her prized possessions like some of her dresses, some holopics, her royal diadem, a Naberrie crest necklace and a steel box. He could not open it but he took it with having a feeling that it held great importance.

When he made it to Alderaan, he left all her possessions in a guest room in the remote part of the privet wing, along with the droids. Something that Leia had to connect her to her birth family.

He had made a small nursery that was painted a soft pink with a bassinet, crib, and all the necessities for a little girl.

Coming back into reality, Leia gave off a small cry of a little restlessness. He picked her up to calm her.

After a few minute's Bail heard a sharp knock on the door. Seeing that Leia calmed down, he put her back in her crib. Bail then got up, walked into the hallway and open the door at the end of the hallway. On the other side was Padmé.

o-o-o

Padmé gazed into the brown eyes of her dearest friend. Relief that passed through them as he embraced her in a hug.

"I am so happy, that you pulled through." Bail said as he released her from his hold. "I knew in my heart that you would" He finished with a smile.

"When I heard my children come into this world I could not let go. I have to be here for them." She said with almost a sad smile.

"I want you to stay here Padmé." Bail said in a serious tone. "You, Luke and Leia will be protected and cared for here."

The former senator took his words in. Already feeling the guilt from his sacrifice.

"I will never be able to repay you for what you and Breha have done for us," Padmé says. She was going to continue until she heard a soft cry in the hallway coming from the open door.

The sound entranced the former Senator and made her way to the nursery. Padmé gazed the bassinet and looked in wonder at her tiny daughter. Leia reached up with her tiny hands, opened her brown eyes, and saw her mother for the first time.

Padmé does little to control her tears as she reaches as takes hold of her for the first time. She sits down and gazes down at the sight that is her newborn daughter.

Bail walks by not wanting to intrude, looks on at the sight of Padmé holding her daughter for the first time.

"Hi Leia I am your mommy…" she says as she holds her close. "…I am so happy to finally meet you..." Said Padmé as her tears continued to fall. Leia gave soft gargle.

"…I promise I will never leave you…I love you too much to do that…. I promise that I will always fight…. I will always fight to keep you…and your brother…. the Empire will never have you or Luke…. I promise…" she let the tears fall freely as she gently rocked her daughter.

"Bail," she asked without hysterics in her voice. "Did you hear from Obi-Wan?"

Bail walked into the nursery, noticing her focus on the baby "I last saw him at your...hmm…funeral." the Alderaanian senator said with slight discomfort. "I set up your transport and he was leaving to retrieve Luke. He should be arriving within a couple hours." He said with a smile.

Padmé looked up from Leia and smiled. "I know dark times are ahead for the galaxy. I know my children are going to have a big role in changing it. But I am just happy I will have my family…not my whole one..." she said solemnly. "…but we will have each other" she paused and gave a small smile. "…as much it nearly killed me to see what he did…I know there is good in him. I have to believe that not only for me…but for our children." Said with her determined voice that made her a fierce worrier in the Senate.

As much as Padmé believed it in her heart, the galaxy always has a cruel way of taking things away from her.

Destiny will always have a punishment for those who tempted its will.

It is my first fan fiction so I welcome all criticism...but no flames.
