Chapter 1

The sounds of the songbirds were singing their morning songs. The reflection of the sun’s rays was coming off the water and shining into the bedroom window. The light beamed onto the bed, where the two figures laid sound asleep.

Anakin woke up, with a bright light shining straight into his eyes. As he laid there, he began to think about last night and how wonderful it was to finally show his love to Padme. He heard a small moan coming from beside him. Rolling over onto his side, he came face to face with his beautiful angel, who had been haunting his dreams, since he was nine years old. He sat up on his left elbow and watched his wife sleep. He also noticed that she has a smile on her face, just before she made another small moan and started to snuggle closer to him again. Anakin reached out and moved the strand of hair that had fallen across Padme’s face.

Padme had a feeling that she was being watched as she slept. There was a feeling of love too, and that was the first time in a long time, that she also felt safe. She remembered what had happened last night and was happy to know that she wasn’t dreaming and that he was still in bed with her. Feeling a little chilled, she felt Anakin’s warm body next to her, so she snuggled closer to him. Padme finally open her eyes and looked up, and she gave her husband a warm smile.

“ Morning, angel.” Anakin said, as he looked down and saw the very beautiful brown eyes looking up at him.

“ Morning to you too, Ani.” Padme said, as she looked into his beautiful dark blue eyes.

“ Did you sleep well?”

“ Yeah, I did, when you finally let me get to sleep. What about you? Did you sleep well too?” Padme said, with a smile on her face, as she remembered that he made love to her at least half the night.

“ Yeah I did and for the first time in a long time, I really truly slept.”

They both started to laugh, when they heard a growling sound coming from somewhere in the bed.

“ I’m hungry” Anakin said, with a laugh as the growling sound was coming from his stomach.

“ Then, it’s true what they said about men. Guys think with two things, and you know that at the moment, you are thinking with one of those things now.” Padme said, as she laughed with him, when his stomach growled for the third time.

“ Yeah and I do know for a fact that, you really loved it last night, when I was thinking with the other thing. Damn woman, you took most of my energy from me.” Anakin said, as he sat up in the bed.

“You did the same thing to me too, Ani.” Padme sat up and Anakin pulled her into his arms and started kissing her. He was interrupted when there was a tap on the door.

“ Hope I’m not interrupting anything ,but breakfast is served.” Threepio said, as he came into the room.

“ Damn. Thanks, 3PO. We will be there in a couple of minutes.” Anakin said, as he pulled the covers further up over Padme.

“ As you wish, Master Anakin.” Threepio said, as he backed out of the room, before closing the door behind him.

“ Well, we better get up and get dressed. After breakfast I want to show you a few places I like to go to, when I want to getaway from stuff and to find myself.”

“ That sounds great. I would love to see your special hiding places.” Anakin said, as he watched Padme get out of the bed.

Padme walked over to the chair and grabbed her robe that was hanging on it. She had a feeling that she was being watched. She turned her head and saw Anakin still sitting in the bed and watching her. She saw that he had a wicked grin come across his face.

“ Ok, Ani. Stop those nasty little thoughts running through your mind and get up, so we can have breakfast, before going to those places.”

“ Ok, fine. You think we can get rid of the droids later, so we can be totally alone?”

“ You know, I was thinking the same thing. Yeah, I can send them away for a couple of hours.” Padme walked over to Anakin and sat down on the bed next to him.

“ That’s great.” He said, as he reached out and pulled her down on him.

Padme wrapped her arms around his neck, as he began kissing her. Padme pulled away from Anakin, when she heard 3PO coming back down the hallway.

“ 3PO is coming back again, so come on. Lets get going.” Padme said, as they heard footsteps stopping in front of the door.

Anakin nodded, as he helped Padme up and watched her open the door, just before 3PO had the chance to knock on the door again.

“ Mistress, Padme. This just came for you.”

“ Thanks,3PO.” Padme saidm as she took the halo-cube from the droid. MO<“ What is it?” Mo<“ I’m not sure, and I’m not sure who it’s from either.”

Anakin came up to Padme and took the halo-cube from her. Padme looked at Anakin and saw that he his pants and a robe on. The very same clothes he had on, when they were here earlier and before they left for Tatoonie.

“ I’ll take a look at it after breakfast.” Padme said, as she took the cube back from Anakin and laid it down on the small table next to the chair.

“ You know, it could be important.”

“ Well, like I said, I’ll see it after breakfast.”

Padme walked out of the bedroom, leaving Anakin staring at her in total shock. Anakin walked into the dinning area, and saw that 3PO was pouring Padme’s tea in her cup.

“ Morning, Master Anakin. Would you like tea or coffee.?” Threepio asked, as he held the tea pot in his hand.

“ Um… I think tea would be great. Thanks.”

Anakin pulled out the chair that was next to Padme and he sat down. R2 came over to the table, with two plates that had their breakfast on the plates.

“ Thank you, R2.”

R2 gave a beep that sounded like a welcome, before rolling into the other room and waited for his Master’s orders for the day.
