Epilogue: One True Love
5 years later
(y/n)'s POV
"Hayden, I told you no running in the house!" Anakin shouted at the little blonde, who was clearly ignoring him. He never does listen, just like his dad.
I chuckled as I placed a hand on my husbands shoulder, "Just leave him, he's excited." It is his big day after all.
He sighed as he looked from the boy to me. He eyed me up and down like this was the first time he's ever seen me, "Wow," He placed a hand on my cheek and rubbed his thumb along my cheek bone, "You look absolutely beautiful."
I blushed at his compliment. Not a day goes by where he doesn't make me feel like the luckiest girl in the galaxy, "Thank you Ani." I lifted myself so I could press my lips to his.
"Daddy?" And of course, we were interrupted by our little one.
Anakin broke our kiss and looked down, "What's wrong?" He asked sweetly as he bent to his eye level.
"Hayden said I'm adopted." My mouth dropped slightly and Anakin started laughing. Of course he would laugh. Hayden is definitely his mini me.
"How many times do I have to tell you Ewan, don't listen to anything your brother says. He's just trying to tease you." I sighed as I rubbed my temple.
His mouth formed an 'O', "So I'm not adopted?"
Anakin chuckled, "No you're not adopted. You came out of mommy just like he did." He pinched his cheek, causing him to giggle, "Now go play outside, we'll be out in a minute." He placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Okay," Ewan responded happily, "Oh and auntie May said to hurry up!" He shouted towards us as he ran outside to go play with his brother.
Anakin stood back up and I slapped him on the arm, "Ow what was that for?" He whined as he looked to me confused.
"You're not suppose to laugh when Hayden is being mean to Ewan." I scolded, his smirk grew wide.
"Who do you think told him to say that?" He revealed and I resisted the urge to slap him again.
I just sighed and walked away to go outside before Padme comes in here and drags us out. Living with three boys is exhausting, well five technically if you count Obi-Wan and Rex, but those two don't get on my nerves as much as the other three do.
I love my boys though, they are my whole heart.
I stepped outside and looked around the garden, there was a table set up, balloons all around, and a large cake in the middle of it all. Today is Hayden's 5th birthday. I almost wanted to cry, he is growing up so fast, "Auntie (y/n), my mommy is looking for you." The small brown haired girl pulled on my dress, little Natalie, Padme and Rex's daughter.
I smiled down at her, "Exactly why I'm out here Nat." I looked up and scanned the area for my best friend, only to find her seated in one of the chairs, looking exhausted. With Satine sitting next to her.
I walked over to her, with Natalie still holding onto the end of my dress, "Padme I warned you not to do too much, you're seven months pregnant." I sat in the chair across from her. She's having another girl, named Azalea.
She rolled her eyes as she took a sip of water, "I tried letting our husbands do the work, but they only break things."
Satine and I laughed in response, she's not wrong. Although I feel like they mess up on purpose so they don't have to do anything, "Well it looks wonderful. I'm sure Hayden loves it." I looked over to find my kid, my eyes widened when I saw him lifting his cousin up in the air with the force, "Hayden no! Put Ben down now!" I scolded him, he turned to me with a smirk on his face. I said it a hundred times before and I'll say it a hundred times more, he's exactly like Anakin. I'm just glad Ewan turned out to be more like me, which still isn't that great but it's better than being like Anakin.
"Listen to your mother," My husband came into view and stared down at him. The boy looked up at him and instantly dropped Ben down, he may not listen to me, but boy does he fear his father.
I turned to Satine, "I'm so sorry." Ben is her kid after all, the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. But how could he not be? With Satine as his mother and Obi-Wan as his father. Two of the sweetest people you'll ever know.
"Boys will be boys." She shrugged with a chuckle as she took a drink of her champagne. Something I wish I could have right now, but sadly-"So how are the twins doing?" She placed a hand on my stomach.
I smiled down at my almost nine month pregnant self. We were overjoyed when we found out we were blessed with twins, "Amazing," I rubbed my belly, "Almost ready to pop out, I can't wait. Carrying one is hard enough, now I have two in here. I feel like my back is ready to give out." I sighed as I adjusted myself comfortably in the chair.
"You never did tell us the names, have you decided on any?" Padme questioned as she gestured for her daughter to come to her so she could braid her hair.
I was about to speak when I was cut off, "Of course we did," Anakin came behind me and placed his hands on both my shoulders, "Rosie and Aurora." He responded and placed a kiss on the top of my head.
Satine placed her hand on her chest, "Oh those are beautiful, I wish I had a girl."
"We have time." Obi-Wan appeared next to her and placed a kiss on her cheek, causing her to blush in response.
"I got it May!" Rex ran up to Padme, who had just finished braiding Natalies hair, "One double fudge bar with salted caramel." He set the dessert in her hand and she looked up to him with love in her eyes.
"Thank you." She smiled and he bent down to place a kiss on her lips. Her pregnancy cravings have been crazy lately, even worse than when she was pregnant with Natalie.
Natalie pulled on Rex's shirt, "Daddy do you like my hair, mommy did it!"
He smiled down at his child with a wide grin, "You look absolutely gorgeous." He picked her up and placed a kiss on her cheek. She giggle in response and laid her head on chest as he continued to hold her. He took a seat next to Padme to join us.
"I can't believe it's been five years," Anakin pulled up a chair to sit next to me. The memories of that day still lived in my mind. But not in a bad way, it's the day I finally became the person I was always meant to me. Now I'm here, with everyone I love, except for a few, but they'll be here soon.
I came clean to Ahsoka the moment I returned to the temple. I told her who Ti was and what I had done to her. To my surprise, she hugged me in response. She wasn't mad at all, she had told me that what Ti did to the temple and what she did to me, was unforgivable. And if anything, I was the mother she never had. I'd be lying if I said I didn't ball like a baby. That whole day was emotional.
Master Yoda forgave me as well, in fact, he should be here soon too. He is the god father of one of the twins after all, Aurora to be specific.
"Oh have you all heard the good news," Rex spoke up with a happy smile on his face, "King Scholath was assassinated last week. Byss is joining the other planets in democracy."
I instantly looked to my husband, he was gone last week for some time.. coincidence? I think not.
He avoided my gaze, "Anakin." I spoke sternly and he looked at me with a nervous grin, "Was it you?"
He sighed, "Yes, but it wasn't like I just went and did it for fun. It was requested to be done by the temple and the senate, he was trying to bring back the separatist cause." He shrugged as he defended himself.
"It's true, I was there." Obi-Wan nodded causing Satine to turn and glare at him.
She shook her head, "So when you said you and Anakin were going on a 'guys trip' you meant, you were going to assassinate someone?" He nodded innocently in response, causing her to chuckle as she finished the rest of beverage, "Kinda hot."
"What's an assassinate?" We turned our head towards the little voice to be met with Ewan. His little (y/e/c) eyes were looking up at Anakin and I.
Anakin leaned forward, "Well it's when one person kil-"
"Anakin!" We all shouted to cut him off.
He turned to us with a confused face, "What?"
I shook my head with disbelief, "He's three, you can't tell him that." I scolded and he sighed in response.
He turned his attention back to Ewan, "Its when you.. play games with someone." He lied terribly, but Ewans three, he'll never know.
The little boy nodded like he understood, "Okay I'm going to go assassinate with Hayden and Ben, bye!" He giggled as he ran off and I dropped my head in my hands, we're terrible parents.
All the men at the table laughed, while us women sighed at the life we have been given. Although, none of us would change it for the world.
"The party is here!" I heard the familiar voice of Anakins best friend, the female one.
He smiled wide and stood up to greet her, "Ari I'm so happy you made it." He pulled her into a hug.
"Like I'm going to miss my nephews birthday?" She looked at him in fake disbelief, my eyes traveled to her hand where she had a bottle of whiskey.
"Ari this is a kids birthday and you brought whiskey?" Obi-Wan sighed as he shook his head.
She shrugged as she sat on the floor in the middle of our circle of chairs, "So? I'm not a kid." She smiled as she popped it open and took a drink, Anakin came back and sat next to me, "So (y/n), how is my god daughter and the other little?" She smiled up at me then her eyes trailed to my baby belly.
"They're perfect, ready to come out any day now." I rubbed my stomach so I could feel their life. I can't wait till they come out, I've always wanted girls.
"Wait how did you get here? You don't fly." Anakin questioned her with a confused look.
Her eyes widened like she just remembered something, "Oh yeah, they should be coming now. I may have sprinted off the ramp when we arrived. Everyone else is taking their sweet time. Especially you know who." She rolled her eyes with a chuckle.
"Seriously Ari, you could have waited." The sound of Ahsoka's voice came from behind us, "You know Master Yoda is old."
"Old I am not, spry I am." He responded and we all turned to see three people walking towards us. Ahsoka, Master Yoda, and Cal with BD-1 on his shoulder.
"Cal!" I yelled in excitement and I tried pushing myself up, but my stomach had other plans, "I'd get up and hug you, but it's physically impossible right now." I sighed as I looked at my belly, silently cursing at it for being so big.
He chuckled in a heavier voice than he used to have, he was sixteen now. So grown and so handsome, "No need Mrs.Skywalker I'll come to you." He walked over and bent down so he could hug me. I missed this kid so much. Over the past five years I've seen him quite often, but not as much as I'd like to. But wow if I wasn't right about his abilities. He's strong with the force, he's actually supposed to be knighted soon. The youngest one ever to be. I couldn't be prouder of him.
"I'm happy to see you Cal." I told him as he pulled away from the hug.
"As am I," He smiled brightly before turning his attention to Anakin, "Master Skywalker." He bowed to him respectfully. Oh yes, Anakin finally got his rank of Master. I had to convince him to do it of course, he wanted to quit the order entirely. But a man like him needs a a little adventure in his life. So he returned to the order shortly after Ewan was born, along with Obi-Wan. But they don't leave too often, only for diplomatic missions. And of course the occasional assassination apparently.
"Nice to see you Cal." My husband smiled up at him.
"Uncle Cal!" Hayden, Ewan, and Ben ran and hugged him at the legs. He smiled happily down at them, "Do you want to see what daddy showed me how to do?" Hayden spoke up at him.
"Of course I do." He grabbed ahold of their little hands and walked off towards the open grassy field.
Ahsoka walked over and sat on the floor next to Ari. Master Yoda sat criss cross, floating up in the air over by the children though, watching as Hayden lifted up BD-1, without the use of his hands. He really was a powerful kid, it scared me sometimes, but with Anakin teaching him to control himself. It eased my worry.
"So," Ahsoka turned to look at me, "I want you to know that I'm still mad that you didn't make me the god mother of Rosie."
Ari chuckled, "Come on, don't be a sore loser." She nudged her on the shoulder. Ahsoka shot her an annoyed glare.
Anakin rolled his eyes, "Did you or did you not say that you wanted to be the god parent of a boy?" He raised his eye brows at her.
She nodded, "But you're having girls, I'd rather have that then nothing." She slightly whined.
He chuckled, "You'll get your chance, you act like I'm not gonna stick another one in there." We did decide on five, as crazy as that sounds. But I want a big family, it's all I've ever dreamed about.
"Ew oh my god don't say it like that." Padme looked at him with disgust in her features. Obi-wan and Rex laughed. Natalie was sleeping soundly in his arms still, two year olds are the cutest.
"Alright," Satine stood up, "Now that everyone's here. Let's let Hayden open his presents and we'll get to the cake, that I spent all morning making by the way." She smiled proudly.
"Kids it's time for cake and presents!"
~*~•~*~
Anakin's POV
"They're asleep," I lightly closed their door and turned to my wife. No surprise that they knocked out early. The cake that Satine drenched in sugar had then wired like little crackheads, now they're crashing.
She smiled up at me, "I'm glad he had a good day. Come on let's go join the adults downstairs." She turned to walk away but I grabbed her arm.
"Follow me first." I pulled her to our bedroom and over to the balcony that looked out onto the lake.
She looked at me confused, "Why are we out here?"
I cupped her face and kissed her softly, my heart raced like it always did when I kissed her. She is the love of my life, "Our six year wedding anniversary is coming soon." I grinned as I broke away from the kiss.
She chuckled, "Yes I know."
"Well I got you something and I don't feel like waiting." I shrugged as I put my hand in my pocket to pull out the gift. She eyed the box curiously, "I had Cal make it and bring it today." I smiled as I handed it to her.
She grabbed it quickly and I let out a chuckle at her excitement. She opened it and instantly looked up to me with tears in her eyes, "Anakin this is beautiful." She pulled out the bracelet that was covered in charms. There was a letter for each of our kids initials. As well as our initials. And one small resin charm that had the piece of a petal from her favorite red flower. The one from the garden.
"This," I grabbed ahold of it so I can put it out her wrist, "Represents everything I love." I clasped it around her wrist, "And everything that matters. This bracelet is our love story. Starting with this." I grabbed the resin flower charm, "I love you (y/n)." I grabbed her face and kissed her again.
She pulled away and began crying, "I love you too but," She eyed it with tears still falling down, "I am a terrible wife."
"What?" I grabbed her face again so I could look into her eyes, "Why would you say something like that?"
"Because," She sniffled, "This is so thoughtful and all I did was get you shirt."
I let out a laugh, "Baby I'm sure it's a wonderful shirt."
She shook her head, "No, It's just plain black."
"I Ike black." I shrugged with another laugh, "Stop crying, I love everything you give me. I haven't even seen it and it's already my favorite shirt." I pressed my forehead to hers as I used my thumb to wipe her tears, "Besides you've already given me the best gifts." I dropped my hands down to her stomach. This amazing woman has given me two beautiful boys and now I'm going to have two beautiful girls. As well as number five, which I'll get started on as soon as these ones are out. I'm impatient, I want all my kids already. Maybe even a number six, only if we happen to get twins again. But after that, I'll be tapped out. This house is being over run by children.
She smiled up at me with the look of love and adoration in her eyes, "You know, you really do have the face of an angel."
I wrapped my arms around her to pull her closer, "You really are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy." I kissed her once more. Never in my life did I think I'd ever be this happy. Never in my life did I ever expect to meet anyone as amazing as her.
She truly is my one true love.
