the  sensation  of  her  heart  being  ripped  from  her  chest  was  one  that  padmé  had  familiarized  herself  with  many  times  over  the  years.   none  had  been  as  severe  or  traumatic  as  leaving  behind  leia  &  luke  with  the  hope  that  they  might  have  a  better  life,  with  the  secure  knowledge  that  they  were  safer  without  her.   the  decision  was  justified,  but  that  did  not  mean  that  it  had  been  easy  for  her  to  make.   far  from  it.  many  nights  alone,  she  had  wondered  if  she  had  made  the  right  chioce.   vader  had  never  found  her,  even  when  she  had  begun  working  more  directly  with  the  rebellion  that  she  had  planted  the  seeds  for  alongside  bail  &  mon.   maybe  things  could  have  gone  a  different  way  ...  but  she  could  not  change  the  past.   all  she  could  do  was  make  sure  that  leia  knew  the  whole  truth.

Padmé couldn’t help but stare at her daughter for a moment. She had grown up to be such a strong woman, someone she always knew she would be. The pride she had for Leia was immense and she often got emotional about it, “Oh, I have no doubt you can. You have so much strength, so much courage and love inside of you.”

Anakin smiled, “That’s wonderful, Leia. Why don’t you give me a demonstration.” he replies, testing her a little bit. 

Luke had stormed off from another conversation with his mother, it was frustrating for him because he wanted to fight in the rebellion against the Empire. It wasn't right that he with his abilities was kept out of the fight when they needed people to stand up for peace and freedom. As he sat in his room sulking over another failed attempt to convince his mother he heard and felt his sister coming into his room, “I would if she could be fair and objective, you work with her trying to bring the republic back, me I’m just stuck here doing nothing.” he said with a pout evident in his voice. “Leia, I want to fight, I want to do something, I cant just sit here fixing droids when there are people that are making a difference in the galaxy for everyone.” he said as he turned to face her with confidence and a fire in his eyes. 

Getting ready in the morning for the Senate had gotten a bit longer since Leia began waking up earlier. Padmé didn’t mind, she loved having her little girl helping her out. Her hands gently picked her up and placed her on her lap, “Would you like mommy to do your makeup? Or would you like to do mommy’s makeup? Because to do mommy’s makeup, it will have to wait until I get home.”

His mother. His mother is asking h i m for forgiveness. He killed his father, and she’s asking him to forgive her. Ben’s not sure if he should laugh or cry, so he settles for a slightly broken chuckle. 

“I forgive you. Maybe... maybe I can start forgiving myself as well.”
