Hello readers! I was very pleased to see the huge number of readers (as well as all the different countries that came up on the story stats page) for this story! Apparently Starwars is far more popular than Twilight. Normally I would be posting on my other story at this time, but considering the chapter is unfinished, I figured I'd finally give you guys the second and final chapter of this little thing. I really enjoyed writing this and this is the first time I have actually completed something! Yay! Have fun reading!
Anakin threw his bag over his shoulder as he walked over to the dock going out over the lake.
"Anakin!" Padme exclaimed running over to him, nearly knocking him down in a hug.
"I guess there's no use in telling you not to run is there?" he sighed. "What's the baby's name this time?"
"Laura."
"So you think it's a girl this time?"
"I know it's a girl."
"Then I think it's a boy."
"Fine, but know you've been wrong every time."
"I was right once!"
"We had twins, a girl and a boy, you couldn't be wrong."
Finally Anakin noticed something amiss.
"Padme, why is there a camera crew in the yard?"
"One of the holo networks wanted to do a documentary type thing on the family."
"Tell the camera who this is," one of the cameramen whispered.
"This," Padme said, turning to the camera, "is Anakin. He's a Jedi knight and a very good friend of mine."
"Daddy!" one of the younger boys called, running up to him.
"Daddy?" the cameraman asked.
"Haha, kids…you see, Anakin and I are so close sometimes the younger ones get confused and call him daddy," Padme chuckled nervously.
The cameraman seemed satisfied and went back to taping the children playing in the water.
"Hey buddy," Anakin said picking him up trying to remember the name. Why did Padme insist they all began with L? He started to tick through the boys, eliminating names. Luke, Liam, Leo, Lincoln, Landon, Lance…
"Momma! Lance pushed me!" he said.
"Oh really now?" Padme asked. "I don't know Louis, you've been fibbing a lot lately." Louis! That was the child's name! Before he could say anything though, Padme took Louis and they went to go find Lance.
"Hi Dad!" Leia said, running up to him and giving him a hug. At thirteen she was hardly a child anymore. She was already toting around the newest baby, Logan was it? Like he was her own child.
"I don't think you're supposed to call me dad because of the cameras," Anakin said. He still wasn't entirely sure what they were for.
"I know. Mom explained it to us earlier, but they're not watching us, they're taping Mom getting Lance," she gestured to Padme, now dragging Lance up the shore to sit in the "corner". "How're Luke, Lorraine, and Landon?"
"Luke just got apprenticed to Obi-wan. What can I say? The man loves to boss people around. Lorraine is training to become a Padawan and Landon's still a youngling, but they're all doing fine."
"That's good," she smiled, but then turned and saw a few of the others roughhousing in the water. "Leo! If you drown Lilly you know mom's going to kill you!" Leia shouted.
"Umm…Leia…" Lindsey giggled, coming up from behind, but Leia was preoccupied with the other children. Anakin looked down and saw what Lindsey was laughing at.
"Don't eat that Lizzie! Lila! Don't just stand there! Get her before she eats the worm!"
"Leia…I think…" Anakin started.
"Sorry…what was that?" she said. The camera crew had heard her shouting and was focusing on her.
"Leia look down."
She turned as red as the stain on her white bikini bottom as she tried to cover herself.
"Why didn't anyone say anything?" she said, near to tears.
One of the camera men sniggered.
WHAM! That was the end of the holo program. And the cameraman's chances of having kids. Those four year olds can be quite feisty.
Well, that's the end (maybe....)! But I like to challenge my readers, so one last challenge although I can't really offer a reward, try and figure out how many children there are (I'm pretty sure I named them all). Thanks for reading!
