APOLLA HID BEHIND A pillar awaiting her husband's arrival and safety. Anakin excused himself from Senator Organa then wrapped his arms around Apolla from behind.

"Ani, I thought I was going to lose you." Apolla whispered, turning to face him.

He cupped her face "Have you no faith, Pollie?"

Apolla rolled her eyes "Ani, I need to tell you something, again.."

"Are we having another baby?" Anakin asked.

Apolla nodded, biting her lip. He chuckled, kissing her.

She kissed back "Ani.."

He pulled away "I know, I know."

Apolla sighed "We can't have another baby, we're already risking hiding Hemera out in Naboo."

Anakin sighed and kissed her head "We can do this, I believe in us, okay?"

She nodded "They're going to strip me of Master, Anakin."

He cupped her face and looked at her "No, they're not. I promise you, Apolla."

She sighed "Alright."

Anakin and Apolla went to their apartment and went to bed, cuddling.

IN THE NIGHT Apolla leaned against the balcony, while Anakin leaned against the wall.

"Two kids in four years, Ani. What are we doing?" Apolla asked, looking at the view then her husband.

"Creating an army?" Anakin teased, chuckling.

"Anakin!" Apolla exclaimed, turning to him.

"What?! I'm the most powerful Jedi there is and well, you're also very powerful. Our forcebound soulmates thing, adds on to it." Anakin replied, smiling.

"You're lucky I love you." She stated, crossing her arms.

Anakin used the force to pull her over to him "That's better."

Apolla placed her hands on his chest then kissed him. Anakin kissed back, grabbing her thighs wrapping her legs around his waist.

Apolla pulled away from the kiss "I love you." 

"I know." Anakin whispered, biting his lip.

She kissed his cheek. He carried her to bed and placed her down. She watched her husband discard his Jedi attire then put on some sweats. Anakin climbed into bed with her then pulled her into him. Apolla pecked his lips then got comfortable.

IN THE MIDDLE Of the night Anakin was having a nightmare. Apolla woke up and turned around to the door. Anakin walked out to the balcony. Apolla followed Anakin and wrapped her arms around him.

Anakin turned to look at her "Pollie.."

Apolla stroked his hair then kissed his cheek "What's the matter?"

Anakin sighed, looking at her "Do you remember the nightmares we both had before my mother had died?"

Apolla nodded.

Anakin sighed "I had another nightmare, but this time it was about you."

Apolla looked down "How do I die?"

"In childbirth." He muttered.

She looked at him then cupped his face "I'm not leaving you without a fight, do you hear me?"

Anakin sighed "I won't let you die, Apolla."

Apolla pecked his lips "Let's go back to bed."

Anakin nodded "Alright, also Padmé is coming back with Hemera tomorrow, what do you want to do?"

"Hide her. Nobody goes in our apartment except Padmé and Obi-Wan anyways." Apolla replied, walking back to their room.

Anakin followed her then got in bed.

Apolla joined him as they fell back asleep.
