*My story is set a few weeks after Padme's funeral in the capital of Naboo. Padme awakens mysteriously from death and brings with her new force abilities. Vader thinks that she is dead along with their child, and she can not remember what happened after speaking with Obi-Wan about Anakin's turn to the dark side. Rated M for future chapters. This is my first fanfic piece and hopefully not my last. I welcome constructive criticism and ask only that you use kind words. I hope you enjoy.

Prologue:

Anakin was my world - everything that was bright about my days and everything that was calm and comforting about my nights. Even if we weren't together as much as I had envisioned on the day we had said our vows, just knowing that we belonged to each other was enough to ease my mind.

With Ani, I knew I would always be safe and that no matter how silly or crazy I felt, his full faith and support was with me. Sure, he struggled with his emotions sometimes, but who wouldn't after being through some of the pain that he had? I was his voice of reason in times of intense confusion and he was my rock in my times of uncertainty. He always knew what to say to calm my nerves and I trusted him with all that I am.

Losing him is the hardest part of all of this. The loss of our children was mind-numbing and unbelievably painful, but not having him - my rock - almost makes me wish I had died and stayed dead.
