Anakin walking slowly from room to room around the lake retreat. Studying everything he could get his hands on to tell him more about his now wife. Padme. Her likes and dislikes , her favorite foods and what music she like. What made her smile and what she was passionate about. Anakin wanted to know more the deep things that only lovers would reveal to each other. what her greatest fears where? Her regrets? what she hoped for the future? and one question above all else that was just a terrifying to think of. was he in that future?

Anakin shook such thoughts from his head and began to fumble with the Jappor snippet hanging from his neck. He had carved it when he was a young boy. swearing only to give it to the women he would call his wife. hoe he desperately wanted to give it to Padme but he couldn't. for she did not love him. yet. he thought to himself.

After passing several shelves of books, carved pieces of wood, paintings and instruments spread out an enormous room with large bay windows surrounding it allowing the light to shine through ever open space. This would be his favorite spot if only Padme were here with him. After the initial awe of the room subsided Anakin noticed in instrument he hadn't seen since he had first came to live on Courasant. A old wood piano. it was well taken care of by someone who loved it didn't seem to have any groves or cracks of neglect. it was perfect. Anakin sat down at it slowly testing each key allowing it to resonate for a second before moving onto the next one. after a few minutes he began to play, a song in particular he remember, Pacable canon D. He let his fingers fly across the ivory closing his eyes and smiling at the music encompassing the room. He'd never thought he'd hear such sounds again.

"Amazing..." a voice sounded from near by making Anakin stop almost instantly to see a shocked Padme looking his way.

Padme looked at the stunned Anakin nervously. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you. I heard the music all the way to my room...I..Didn't know you played Lord Vader."

Anakin smiled a little flustered. " I haven't for a long time. I didnt know people still had pianos. I always wanted one when i was younger. Do...you play?" He asked hesitantly.

Padme smiled and shook her head. "No...I wish I did. The Pianos is my grandmother Wampas. She left it to me when she passed from the world. Ive always made sure that it was properly cared for but never had any real time to learn." She said looking down at her fingers nervously.

"Would you like to join me Milady?"

Padme looked up a little surprise not just by the question but by her immediate answer. "Yes."

Anakin stood up pulling out the bench for her to sit and then sitting on the furthest side allowing her as much room as possible.

Padme slowly but surely made her was to her seat. ." what were you just playing now?" She asked trying not to look directly at him.

"Pacable, its called Canon D Minor. Its one of the first ones I ever learned to play."

"Have you...ever written any?" She asked not sure if she should or not.

"Just one. It took me years to finish but its something I'm very proud of. "

Padme nodded not really sure where to go from there. Anakin however, wanted to speak to her more.

"Would you like to hear it?" He asked hoping she'd say yes.

Padme turned to face him. her brown eyes finally meeting his blue ones and both not realizing that they were just staring at each other for a few minutes. Getting lost in each other and not saying a word. After what felt like an eternity Padme finally answer. "Yes please. I'd like that very much Lord Vader."

Anakin sighed loudly."Anakin." He said a little frustrated.

Padme turned to his now sullen looking features. "I'm sorry?" she asked confused.

He turned to her then with a burning in is blue eyes that took her breath away. her heart began to beat rapidly and she seemed to be having trouble breathing but she never let her features show any sign of distress. she seemed so lost in his eyes she hadn't realized his hand leaned on the bench slightly brushing hers and he was now leaned towards her his face a whisper from hers.

"My Name is Anakin. please call me that. Vader is who I was not who I am. Who I'm trying to be," He said with such strong male confidence. Padme felt more drawn to him before causing her to blush as she looked from his lips back to his eyes. she would not waiver. she couldn't.

"Anakin then." She said almost angrily but He knew it was because of how he made her feel in that moment. He smiled at the blush that still adorned he cheeks and turned back to the piano and began to play. The sweet sounds of a melody bouncing off the walls swimming around them as a miracle of song swayed from Padme's ears and all around her. Just listening to it made her eyes begin to tear. It was saddening , heartrendingly beautiful and spoke to her deep down and she didn't know why. All to soon the room was quite with the last key still hanging in the air.

Padme smiled widely. "That was beautiful. "

Anakin turned and smiled back glade to see she enjoyed it so much. "Thank you Milady, Ill take that as the greatest of compliments coming from you."

Padme blushed again and turned away for a second before turning back to her husband. " Whats that one called?" She asked now more curious then anything.

Vader smiled all the wider and turned so he was now sitting across from her one leg on either side of the stool. "I named it along time ago, it is called...Angel."

"Angel? whats that?"

"Angels are the most beautiful creatures in the universe, so beautiful in fact they can evern make the most hardened space pirates cry. they live on the moves of Iego I think."

Padme laughed. Had she really laughed? for him?

"Why Angel? why not something else."

Anakin wondered for a moment if he should tell her. She must have sensed his reluctance because she immediately began to back track.

"I'm sorry Its really none of my business anyway." she stood up to leave. Anakin managed to get a hold of her hand and both realized besides the wedding this was the fist time they touched and it was like electricity spreading between them. He allowed her hand to fall from his own before speaking.

" No, Id love to tell you. The reason its called Angel is because...I swear that i saw one a few years ago."

"That sounds like a dream come true. where?" She wondered sincerely.

Anakin took a deep breath before continuing. walking closer to her as he spoke. " I just started doing recon for the emperor it was about 6 years ago. I was walking out of a peace summit meeting on Alderaan and there were some children from a relief camp from another planet, i cant remember where. and i saw this women in a royal blue dress with brown kind eyes and smile that could light up the entire room. And she was feeding them asking her staff to bring some more food and she was kneeling down in the dirt in that beautiful dress not caring how dirty she got and feed them." Anakin stopped until she was no more then a foot away from Padme's face. " And I had never seen someone so beautiful inside and out." He whispered bringing a hand to caress the side of her cheek.

Padme was stunned and shocked and above all else touched. She had no Idea someone, let alone Vader had noticed her. She had only done what she felt was right. Vader..no not Vader Anakin. She couldn't speak and the second she felt his hand on her face she was there again staring into the intensity of those col bolt eyes. never before had she seen so much emotion.

"Padme.." he whispered before slowly lowering his lips to hers.

Padme closed her eyes and gasped . She stood there frozen she felt shivers of electricity travel down her spine as Anakin kissed her again. lightly licking the fullness of her bottom lip. Padme moaned. she couldn't help it. Anakin smiled before finally opening her mouth with his tongue and exploring there warm depths eliciting another moan from a an already confused and aroused Padme.

Anakin pulled her closer to him allowing his hand to run through the long curls of Padme]s hear witch he just realized was fixed down today. Anakin kissed her again with the years of yearning he had for and her alone allowing his hands to roam over the contour of her back. and as if suddenly waking from a dream Padme pushed away from him Anakin was about to protest when a renowned slap was heard through out the room. To say he was in shock was an understatement. He turned his head lightly to look at a disheveled and angry looking Padme. ignoring the stinging sensation coming from the side of his face.

"Padme...I.." He tried to explain but was cut short by Padme trying to catch her breath

"Vad...Anakin. I am sure most people would be flattered by you attentions but know this I do not know you. I do not wish to know you and certainly never shall. I do not or will not ever..love you!" Padme yelled but regretted her words almost instantly at the pain that seemed to wash among Anakin's face.

Gone was his bright eyes and charming smile to be replaced with hard lines and expressionless face . Anakin nodded not really looking at her .

"Milady." He stated respectfully before leaving the room. Padme couldn't understand how after all she had said her words had hurt her too. why? she thought. why?

Anakin found himself alone in room facing out towards the open doors of the veranda. revisiting ever moment that had happened today. He found a stunning room he wished he could share with Padme and he did, there she was . she wanted to be honest and he was and there they were kissing until she pulled away.

Anakin's recalled when he was younger and he though he knew what pain really was his mother would always say . " There are worse pains in the world my son, but for you my strong little man. what could be so bad?" She didn't know a neither did he. that this was it. His heart had been put on his sleeve and she had torn it asunder with her words. Tears started to fall from Anakin's face and he wouldn't bother to hide then. he did this he knew it was risky and he always thought she was worth it. he never considered the alternative.

"I do not or will not ever..love you!"

"my strong little man. what could be so bad?"
