(a/n I'm not going to be giving a lot of descriptions about how the house looks on the inside, I figured I could leave that up to your imagination!)

"I can't believe they're forcing me to leave!" Padmè shouts frustratingly as she continues throwing items into a bag.

I'm standing in the doorway of her bedroom, leaning on the doorframe with my arms crossed over my chest, "I know Padmeè but it's for your own protection," I defend the councils decision, "At least until they find the person trying to kill you." After her assassination attempt the council and the chancellor advised that she returns home to Naboo under the protection of Anakin.

She sighed, "The only reason someone is trying to get rid of me is because I'm doing something right." She sat on her bed and put her head in her hands, "I've been working so hard to pass this bill and now I won't even be around to see it happen."

I walked over to sit next to her and placed a comforting hand on her back, "Everything will be okay, you've done your job and the bill will happen. But now you need to focus on staying alive. You'll have Anakin to protect you and we have no doubt your life is in good hands."

After a few moments she looked up to my eyes with a look of guilt,"He didn't seem very happy about his assignment." It's true. When the council told him he'd be going away to Naboo for awhile, he stormed out of the room.

I chuckled softly at the memory of his dramatic tantrums, "He just doesn't like the idea of being away from me again. But he will be okay once he's there and I will make sure to call him everyday so he knows I'm okay."

Suddenly her eyes lit up and I knew she had an idea, "Why don't you come with us! It would make me feel so much better to have you there!" She placed her hand on mine and gave me her best pleading eyes.

I shook my head, even though I loved the idea but I doubt the council would approve, "As nice as that sounds, I don't think they will let me go."

"And why not?" She raised her brows as she crossed her arms, "They told you to take a break and relax didn't they?"

I nodded.

A smirk grew on her lips as she stood up and turned to face me, "What better way to relax than on the most beautiful planet in the galaxy with your best friend?"

Giving in to her stubbornness, I stood up, "Fine but you tell them, they'll listen if it's you."

"Oh I will and they will not take no for an answer, I promise you that." She turned back to her closet to grab more items.

The poor council.

~*~•~*~

A few hours later all three of us were boarding a service ship to head to Naboo. Padmè discussed me going with Master Yoda and to my surprise he thought it was an excellent idea. He said I could use the time away in a good environment. And if we were to be attacked to let Anakin handle it, although he seemed confident that we wouldn't be. He also suggested that I should meditate everyday and I told him I would.

"I'm so happy you're coming!" Anakin pulled me into a hug the second the doors to the ship closed so no one could see us, except Padme who was a few feet away. I knew he was excited when he found out I was coming but people have been around us the entire time, so he couldn't quite show it yet.

I chuckled, "Thank Padmè, it was her idea."

"No need to thank me," She smiled at us, "After everything (y/n) has been through, I figured a nice romantic get away would do her good." She winked at us and I felt myself blush.

"I couldn't agree more." My boyfriend wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close, causing me to giggle as he planted a million kisses on my cheek.

Padme fake gagged, "Save it for the bedroom you two."

I pushed Anakin away playfully and he laughed. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by him in that moment, his laugh was contagious and his smile could light a million stars. I am so in love with this man.

We got into our seats and Anakin was going to fly it for us. The council didn't trust anyone right now, so there's no one aboard this ship but us, C-3PO, R2, and BD. We were going straight to Padmè's lake house, only her parents knew that's where we will be. And very few trusted staff who have known Padme since she was a baby.

"Are you girls ready?" Anakin asked as he flipped a few switches, getting ready to take off.

"Yes." We replied and he gave us a nod and I felt the ship lift off the ground.

~*~•~*~

"You better not have landed on the flowers!" Padmè complained as Anakin opened the ramp for us to get off the ship.

He rolled his eyes, "You reminded me twenty times as I was landing to not land on them, so I didn't!"

I chuckled at their bickering, causing Anakin to shoot me an annoyed glare.

We walked off the ramp and I was immediately taken aback by how beautiful this place was, I could see the water from here and the sun danced on the waves, creating blue sparkles of light. The flowers around the house were beautiful, with so many different colors. I don't think I've ever seen so much green before.

R2 was rolling in the grass with BD on top of him and they were running from 3PO, who was scolding them for something and I let out a small chuckle.

As I was staring at the view I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind and a chin resting on my shoulder, "Enjoying the view?"

I hugged his arms that were around me, "It's beautiful."

"You're more beautiful." He kissed my cheek and I felt my heart pound like it always did when he was with me.

"Smooth, Skywalker." I turned around and placed a kiss on his lips, a kiss that he returned.

"Come on love birds! I can show you your room!" Padmè shouted from the entrance of the house.

We broke our embrace but Anakin entangled his fingers with mine as we walked to the house.

~*~•~*~

"This one is yours," She placed her hand on a door, "And that one is mine." She gestured towards the room straight across from ours. "Try not to keep me up all night." She raised her brows playfully with a smirk and I felt my face flush.

Anakin placed a hand on my shoulder and I winced at the pain from the wound where I got shot. But I quickly composed myself so he wouldn't notice. I may have not told him about it, the last thing I wanted was him worrying about me even more than he already does, "No promises." He teased and I smacked him on the chest and they both let out a laugh.

"Come on let's go see what our droids are up to and have some dinner, I'm starving." She started walking down the hallway and we followed behind her, "Oh and I can introduce you to the staff! There's only two here and don't worry, they are well trusted." She assured us and we nodded, if she trusted them then we trusted them.

We walk into the dining hall and there are windows along one wall that shows us into the yard outside. I could see 3PO picking flowers and R2 and BD rolled up behind him and pushed him into a bush. I held a hand up to my mouth to stop myself from laughing at the poor droid. Anakin on the other hand was almost to the floor in tears from laughing so hard. I had to smack him on the shoulder to calm him down and he shot me a humored look.

"He's fine," Padmè waved her hand towards the window, she also held a look of amusement. An old woman walked slowly into the room carrying a tray of beverages. Anakin rushed to her side and grabbed the tray from her hand and placed it on the table and she smiled softly at him. "This is Anna, Anna this is Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Knight (y/n) (y/l/n)."

"Nice to meet you Anna." I walked to her and shook her hand, she returned it with a smile.

"And you (y/n)." She turned her attention to Anakin and he greeted her the same way I did.

"She is the housekeeper around here, she will clean anything, wash anything, and serve us up our meals. Although she's not the cook, that's Eric. You can meet him later he's probably whipping up dinner at the moment." Padmè informed us.

"Oh Padme it's good seeing you," Anna hugged her and then turned her attention to us, "You know I used to change her diapers. She was always such a precious child."

Padmè's eyes sparked as she looked at Anna, you could tell she had deep love for her. "Anna was pretty much like a second mother growing up." Now I could see why Padme trusted her so much.

"Well we're happy to have you here Anna, any friend of Padmé's is a friend of ours." Anakin praised her with his award winning smile.

She smiled back, "I'll go check on Eric, I'm sure he's almost done." She exited the room through a door that I'm guessing leads to the kitchen.

We all sat around the table and had small talk. We were joking about something that caused Anakin to nudge my shoulder and I winced. He didn't notice but Padme did. "How's your shoulder (y/n)?"she asked me with concerned eyes.

Anakin looked at me confused and I glanced between him and Padmè, "What happened to your shoulder?" He questioned.

"Uhh it's fine, just a scratch." I lied. It wasn't just a scratch it was a hole, but I was told it would heal quickly.

"A scratch? (y/n) you were shot!" She exclaimed and I was giving her a 'shut the heck up' look.

"You were what?!" Anakin raised his voice slightly and Padmé's eyes went wide as she realized exactly what she had done. I sighed and gave her an 'it's okay' with my eyes as she was apologizing with hers.

"When Padmè was attacked, I jumped in front of her and the blast hit my shoulder." I slowly looked up to meet his intimidating glare, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I didn't want you to worry." I apologized but he still didn't seem pleased with me, he just turned his head away and ignored me.

To break the awkward silence Anna walked into the room followed by an older man who I assume is Eric. We said our greeting to him and they placed plates of food in front of us, they both smiled and walked out. A part of me really wanted them to stay with us and I know Padmè did too. We could both feel Anakin's tense composure next to use as we ate in silence.

"The food is great isn't it?" Padmè asked slightly cheerful, trying to break the tension.

Anakin just nodded without a word.

"Yes it is." I responded and she gave me a smile before glaring at Anakin with annoyance.

"Ani you're being dramatic." She stated and my eyes went wide, I grabbed my water and took an awkward sip as he dropped his fork to the plate with a loud clanking sound.

"I think I'm full, I'll be in my room." He stood up without giving us a second look and left the room.

Padmè rolled her eyes at him before turning her attention to me, "(y/n) I'm so sorry, I didn't know he didn't know and I had no idea he would react that way." She apologized.

I gave her a sly smile, "it's okay, I know you meant no harm. I should have told him, it's my own fault." I sighed and stood up, "I'm gonna go talk to him, tell Eric and Anna thank you for us both."

She nodded and I left the room to go to mine and Anakin's shared one.

I slowly opened the door and I could see him lying on the bed facing towards the wall with only pants on. "Anakin?" I called his name but he didn't move, I knew he was awake and was just ignoring me.

I took off my robes, put on a night gown and crawled on the bed next to him. I placed my hand on his shoulder and pulled on him so he was lying on his back, his eyes drifted up to meet my own, then to my shoulder to the bandage.

"It's not bad," I told him, "If I hadn't jumped in front of Padme the blast would have killed her, I did it to protect her." I defended myself.

He sighed and looked away, "It's not that you got hurt that upsets me. I know you were protecting our friend and I get that. It's that when you came home that day, I asked if you had gotten hurt and you said no. You lied to me, again. After we said we wouldn't lie to each other anymore." I could feel his sadness coming off of him and I felt so guilty. He was right, I did lie. I only thought I was protecting his feelings but it turns out I hurt him anyway.

"I'm so sorry Anakin," I felt tears come to my eyes, "I thought I was protecting you, after everything you went through when I was on Byss, I didn't want you to worry about me anymore."

He sighed and sat up, grabbing my hands, "(y/n) I'm always going to worry about you, but you need to be honest with me." His blue eyes met mine, "I love you and I understand your point of view so I'm not mad anymore, but no more lies."

I nodded, "No more and I love you too." I rubbed my hand on his shoulder and he smiled at me.

"Now let me see it." He reached his hand over and slowly removed the bandage to expose the burn mark on my arm. "Yeah it looks like we're gonna have to amputate." He teased causing me to laugh and  I lightly pushed on his shoulder.

"Should I get the droids?" I asked referring to BD and R2.

He shook his head, "No, leave them with Padme, they don't need to see what's about to happen." He smirked and brought his lips to mine.
