As their tour drew to an end, Anakin returned with his family to their ship, feeling as though the weight of the universe now rested on his shoulders. He couldn’t wait to return to Coruscant, to know his family was safe once more.

Obi-Wan’s ship soon drew close to the Vader’s own and after boarding, he was quick to inform his wife of the latest Alliance news. Afterwards, he ran into Laic who lamented the fact they weren’t able to see everything on Naboo but eagerly told him about everything else, including the events of the night before. He wanted to speak to Anakin, but the youngling was very persistent. Obi-Wan worried that even Coruscant would not be safe for Laic and his sister.

Runa was eager to see her uncle, but was soon distracted by her stuffy as she promptly began to have an avid conversation with it.

Anakin, on the other hand, could both see and sense Obi-Wan had a lot on his mind and did his best to help distract Laic by suggesting he go collect the holovids they took of the sights to show uncle Obi-Wan.

‘You did well, Anakin,’ he said before expressing his concerns about the safety of their palace. ‘Captain Typho is seeing to increasing the amount of clone surrounding the palace. I don’t know how much longer we can keep the public from rebelling. If what happened on Naboo is any indication...’ he added gravely.

Anakin felt his cheeks warm to his brother’s compliment as he gave shy smile and thanked him. Anakin’s expression grew troubled. If their own home was no longer safe for their children, then were could they be safe?

Entering, Dormé wrapped her arms around her torso. ‘What are you suggesting, Master Kenobi? We’re not going to bow to these criminals who know nothing of politics or of the intricacies of the change we have undergone—’

Her words mirrored Anakin’s thoughts. ‘She’s right. If we give them any room to move, it’s certain they are going to abuse. They don’t understand the entire situation. They are as I once was: blind to everything but what they want to see. We must try to retain some semblance of order or at least try to prove to them that we are no longer enemies to fear,’ Anakin said in concern. He wanted to find a way around this and was loathed to accept the fact it was too late now to turn back and return things to how they once were.

‘I hesitate to remove any more commanders from the various provinces,’ Dormé agreed. ‘To decrease any of our power will just give them more room to manoeuvre...unless we wanted to purposely allow them to think they’ve got the advantage and move against them swiftly—’ she stopped herself short, realising she was planning the old way, with the vengeance they used to unleash so easily on their enemies... It would be so easy...

It was frightening how swiftly and how easy it was for Anakin to slip into the old mindset. Though he should have known better, he too was thinking in a similar fashion to Dormé’s words and caught himself at about the same time.

Obi-Wan looked to his sister-in-law. ‘It would not be wise to strike at them, Your Highness. It would only prove how right they are about you.’

‘I know,’ she replied as though she were being reprimanded.

Anakin’s cheeks warmed to the realization and his brother’s words confirmed it. ‘It’s hard not to fall into old habits. Especially when they’re easier to put into action,’ Anakin admitted, marking that he too was thinking in the same fashion as his wife.

Dormé looked to Anakin as he spoke, thankful she wasn’t the only one who was considering the quick and easy method of getting rid of the threat.

‘So what would you suggest we do then?’ Anakin asked quietly obviously interested and ready to hear what the Jedi Master had in mind.

‘I think it would be best to leave the security and the clones already in place as they are, not increase or decrease the amount of security to raise suspicions.

Anakin furrowed his brow to Obi-Wan’s words as he nodded, still feeling nervous about the safety of their children but understanding the wisdom of his brother’s insight.

‘The way you handled things last night, Anakin, that is definitely going to get back to the people, as well as the proper trial they are to receive for their actions. Small things like this will speak to them, but it will take time.’

Dormé looked to Anakin once again, sending him a proud smile and squeezing his hand. She was thankful that his brother was just as forgiving and understanding as she was, that Anakin had a support system through all of this.

The emperor’s cheeks warmed as he felt Dormé squeeze his hand and saw her proud smile. The opinion of his wife, as well as his brother, meant everything to him as did their support. Though he knew it would be some time before things would heal, it gave him hope to know that his actions would have some small effect. ‘As you already know, I have Captain Typho in charge of security and he’ll be looking into the matter of a trial. Such things aren’t really my arena,’ he admitted quietly, knowing that statement hardly covered it. ‘But he’s a fair man who understands such things. I trust that he will stop at nothing to ensure that things go as they should. But as for security for our children, you said that the palace may no longer be safe for them. Are you suggesting we should make preparations for a hideaway? Should things reach that point?’ It was the last thing he wanted to think about but at the same time after what he had witnessed on Naboo Anakin knew the possibility was far too real to deny any longer.

Obi-Wan nodded to his brother’s words, stroking his beard as he thought of the situation regarding the children. ‘I think that plans should be made in case such measures needed to be taken,’ he suggested softly.

Dormé’s grip on Anakin’s hand tightened at the Jedi Master’s words. ‘You mean to have the children leave us?’ Tears came to her eyes at the suggestion.

Anakin’s eyes widened to Obi-Wan’s words as Dormé’s statement clarified it for him. ‘Oh Force you can’t be serious! They’re all that matters to us, Obi-Wan. Surely there is a way around that so that we can at least remain a family,’ Anakin pleaded desperately as his own grip on Dormé’s tightened. The lump in his throat threatened to manifest into tears so the emperor swiftly forced himself to clear his thoughts lest his emotions take hold.

‘I don’t think things are that bad, Anakin, but I believe it would be in their best interest to make plans just in case,’ Obi-Wan said, reinforcing what he said earlier. ‘It’s always good to have a Plan B,’ he added, reminded of the time Anakin spent as his Padawan before he became a Sith.

Dormé’s thoughts ran wild in a panic, not daring to consider this might be a possibility, that they might have to send the children away for their safety. She firmly believed the children would be safer with them. They had worked so hard for so long to make this family, to work past their problems and be together and the thought of it being taken away from them was too much to bear. It would be some time before Dormé would come to realise it was the price they would have to pay for their years of torturing the galaxy with their iron fist and that it would be selfish for them to keep the children when they deserved a better life than being on the run.

Anakin gave a small sigh of relief to Obi-Wan’s initial words, but his expression soon grew troubled once more as he spoke of a plan B. However he couldn’t deny the importance of having a back-up plan and reluctantly agreed that it would be wise to have something set up just in case. He tried to focus on the positive to remind himself that surely things would never come to such a state. That this was only a back up plan, a worst case scenario that would most likely never happen. He couldn’t have been more wrong if he tried. Furrowing his brow Anakin swallowed hard as he fell silent for a moment. Taking a deep breath he gave a shaky sigh as his eyes flickered to Dormé before returning to Obi-Wan.

‘Before we continue this any further I think Dormé and I will need to discuss things over first. This isn’t an easy matter for us as you already know and we’ll need some time to—’ he glanced away trying to clear his thoughts of the panic this discussion was encouraging. We’ll need some time to discuss this further to wrap our minds around the possibility,’ he concluded softly.

‘I understand,’ Obi-Wan replied, nodding. He complimented Anakin once more on his efforts with the rebels before politely excusing himself to see Sabé and the children.

Anakin bowed his head at his brother’s compliment, hardly feeling worthy of his words but grateful for them all the same.

Dormé slipped her free hand around her husband’s waist, sighing deeply. For a moment she just wanted to feel the comfort of being with him. She rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes and trying to block out the negative thoughts. She reminded herself of all they had achieved and overcome together, that this too would pass and their home would be safe once more.

Once alone with Dormé, he was quick to draw her into a tight embrace as he struggled to clear his thoughts of the turmoil within. With his fingers slipping to her dark hair, he soon kissed the top of her head as he gave a shaky sigh. Surely things would never become that bad would they?

‘I don’t want to think about it...but I know their safety is the most important thing.’ Dormé exhaled softly and opened her eyes to look up at him. ‘What do you think we should do if—such a thing—if we had—’ She couldn’t stop the tears coming to her eyes.

He silently studied her with a sorrowful expression. Their eyes met and in them spoke volumes that required no words. Her question brought tears to his eyes as well and quickly he glanced away as he blinked quickly hoping to erase them as best he could. ‘No matter what happens—I want them to be—’ he voice caught and he bit his lip forcing his thoughts to clear. ‘They should be placed in homes—families who will love and care for them as much as we do,’ he quickly surmised feeling his cheeks burn with shame as a tear escaped and found its way down his cheek.

Dormé agreed with Anakin’s words, but she couldn’t say anything in reply. Instead, she just gripped him tightly and allowed herself to cry. Just thinking about it tore her up and she couldn’t help crying.

Dormé’s tears tore at his heart and as much as he wanted to keep a strong face the tears soon spilled from his eyes and holding onto Dormé tightly he softly, mourned with her. He had no one to blame but himself for all of this and while it filled him with such shame it also made him so much more determined to ensure things didn’t reach the point where plan B was necessary.

‘I’m sorry,’ she apologised, wiping her eyes. ‘I—’

Her apology caused him to shake his head as he gently wipe the tears from her cheeks. ‘There is no need to apologize. I only have myself to blame for bringing us to this point,’ he admitted softly.

‘I am just as much to blame as you are,’ Dormé murmured, knowing this was true. Despite his last slaughter of innocents, she too had engaged in outrageous behaviour that many in their empire objected to but were too afraid to admit.

Anakin knew deep down that Dormé was right, but also was aware of the heavy influence he had on her as well. In the end both had blood on their hands and both now had to find a way to wash them clean—if it was even possible anymore.

She took in a shaky breath before suggesting, ‘I would like to ask Saché if she would—if it came to that...it won’t, it won’t, but just in case...’

Anakin fell silent once more as he nodded in reply. ‘I would like to ask Obi-Wan as well. Just in case—’ he added in barely audible tones as he fought back the emotions that threaten to unleash themselves once more.

‘Obi-Wan is a good choice for Laic,’ she replied. ‘He loves him,’ she added of their son’s opinion of the Jedi Master.

‘I’m going to do all that I can to ensure we never need this back up plan. To ensure that it never does come to that,’ he said in pained but fervent tones.

Dormé clutched him tightly. ‘How can we fix this? How can we appeal to a mob?’ she asked, straining to think of ways that they would make this work without the use of violence. ‘How do we explain that violence is not the answer when it’s all we’ve used for so many years? How do we convince them we don’t deserve such treatment when it’s really what we’ve earned? They deserve their vengeance. How can we deny it?’

Dormé’s words hit home leaving him feeling helpless to the answer he couldn’t find. Holding onto Dormé close, Anakin gave a soft sigh as he bit his lip and shook his head. ‘I don’t know. I truly wish I did. I know Obi-Wan seems to think the way we handled the events on Naboo would leave its mark. But I can’t help wonder if Kei was right: that everything has become too personal for them to see anything except for what they want to see. I just hope in the end some sort of understanding comes from all of this,’ he admitted quietly as he held her close, feeling as though the walls were closing in all around them.

‘All they see is the blood,’ Dormé whispered, also feeling as though the weight of the universe was on their shoulders.

Anakin fell silent at her whispers, knowing she was right. He was frightened by the prospect of where all of this could lead. But before his thoughts could run away on him, Anakin felt her hand against his cheek and leant into it.

She looked at the ground for a moment before looking back up at him. ‘We will find away for us to be together. We will get through this.’

He found hope in her words and, offering her a sad smile, he nodded in reply as his hand slipped over hers on his cheek. ‘In the end, Dormé, that is all that really matters to me. That you and are children are safe, that we’ll always be together,’ he murmured fervently.

---

Everything was set in motion, leaving Saché unable to deny what was coming to pass and the disgrace that was about to unfold before her very eyes. Though she served her true masters well, the outspoken woman had no intention of supporting this needless violence. But on this night, her opinion meant little. The people wanted the streets to flow with the blood of the wicked and tonight, their wish was about to be granted.

Pacing on the balcony of war room alone with folded arms, she awaited the dreaded signal. From there, she was expected to override the security locks for the lower levels to ensure that the intruders would be granted a swift entrance. Upon speaking to Mon Mothma and Bail Organa themselves, her orders promptly changed and now she was told her priority was to ensure the royal family, or more exactly their offspring, reached safety.

‘How can we prove to the people that the Alliance isn’t like the Empire when we behave no differently than the ones we seek to overthrow? If we are to do anything at all, we must do it properly, without vengeance or needless violence.

‘As easy as it would be for us to break down the doors of the palace and destroy them, as they have done to so many others, it can’t be done. I know you have your orders, Lady Maberrie, but my position succeeds theirs and I am now giving you a new mission. You are to ensure that the royal family escapes capture and is unharmed in the coming pogroms.

‘I assure you, they will stand trial and they will have to answer for their crimes in a proper court of law. But right now, emotions are running too high and this war has become far too personal for far too many. Until clearer heads prevail, I ask that you assist them in their escape.’

Saché sighed at the memory of Mon Mothma’s words and her orders. Saché knew the price she would pay for it and though this didn’t bother her, there was the matter of her sister’s request. It was because of Runa that she quietly requested to have both Soren and the child placed under sanctuary.

‘The public already regard me as a henchman of the Vaders and soon the resistance will as well, especially once they learn of this. I don’t care what becomes of me but I am concerned for Soren, for our surrogate daughter—’

‘They will be safe.’

Saché wasn’t one who easily fell prey to such promises, but the fervency in Senator Mothma’s voice was hard to ignore. Though not another word was exchanged between the two women, the silent understanding between them spoke volumes.

A strange red light flickered to life and was quickly lost in the series of the bright lights that littered the Coruscant landscape. Only Saché knew what it meant and at the sight of it, she closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Fiddling with one of the lights that decorated the fairly sterile balcony, she watched as it briefly turned off before sparking to life once more. In the distance, the crimson light flickered to life once more and then was lost to the darkness around it. With the messages exchanged, Saché silently departed from the war room, knowing with a heavy heart, that the time had come for her to begin her final mission with the Alliance.

In silence, she went to one of the main security control rooms where she entered in a series of codes that ensured the security overrides would be jammed. Despite the fact they expected her to open the lower level doors and deactivate the security, Saché had a more pressing mission to complete, one that she supported far more than this one. Though she would give her contacts what they wanted, it wouldn’t be until she was certain the Vaders were aware of the situation and well on their way of getting to safety. Once the codes had jammed the systems, she sent an encoded warning message to her contact saying that there had been interference—that someone was onto them and she was currently tending to the matter. It wasn’t much, but she hoped it would buy them enough time.

She then departed to the main living quarters, where she hoped to warn her sister of the coming danger and with luck, convince her to take the children and leave instead of having to force her. However, it was Anakin she ran into first and she pulled him aside, warning him that security was losing its control over the mob, which they were already outside the outer gates of the palace.

‘You are certain there is no other way around this? No means of reasoning with them?’ Anakin queried as his thoughts reeled to the horrible realization.

Saché merely shook her head, ‘I’m sorry, Emperor, it would seem time has run out for us all.’

The emperor fell silent as he furrowed his brow. Though he had done his best to deny the obvious, to focus on the positive, but as things steadily grew worse and to the point where there was open rioting in the streets, it grew more and more difficult to deny the fact that it was nothing more than wishful thinking. With a heavy sigh, he politely nodded before asking her to keep him updated on the situation. He then said he would need a moment alone.

Saché didn’t need to ask why as the reasoning was clear enough. ‘Of course,’ she politely said as her expression soften and grew compassionate.

Though he quietly retired to their private quarters, Anakin’s thoughts grew even more torn as he struggled to clear his thoughts and bury the despair that was rapidly growing within. Though it was easy enough to locate his beloved it, still took some time for him to approach her. His heart was heavy and he dreaded to inform her of the situation at hand and the fact that their worst nightmares had become a reality.

Moments ago, Dormé, despite the security risks, appeared outside on one of the higher balconies overlooking the streets below. Even if they couldn’t see her, nor suspected who she was if they did, Lady Vader was overwhelmed by the sight below. There were so many of them. She couldn’t see the end of them. There were more of them that stormtroopers standing guard or awaiting orders. But they had not been given permission to shoot anyone unless that person shot first. She supposed it wouldn’t matter anymore and began to despair, not for herself, but for her children.

The yelling, the derogatory shouts and threats, was too much to bear. All of the windows were barricaded, but even in their bedchamber, she could still hear them.

Laic was a mess, crying and upset over their anger he felt so strongly through the Force. Runa began crying because Laic was, which made Dormé struggle against tears of her own.

She hummed a Uriashian lullaby in attempts to comfort their children, but soon enough, the lump in her throat made singing impossible. When Anakin entered, she was holding Runa whilst Laic clung to her gown.

Despite his wish to dodge the matter, to continue holding onto the hope that things would improve just hearing the shouts and curses from outside through the walls reminded him that there was no turning back. With a heavy sigh and troubled thoughts Anakin returned to his family to find their children weeping and Dormé attempting to comfort them. Anakin struggled to contain his own emotions as Dormé’s voice faltered as she sang to their children. The sight of her struggling tore at his heart as did the realization of what they knew they had to do. Just knowing this could be the last time they’d be able to see their little ones filled his heart with such sorrow. It was so hard to have to face his family knowing fully well that he was the cause of all this. That is was his selfish greed and bloodlust that had brought them to this point. However it also made him all the more determined not to fall prey to it again.

She knew what he was going to say and shook her head.

Bowing his head in reply he fought back the tears and the sorrow that left him feeling as if he couldn’t breathe.

‘I’m sorry—I don’t think we can avoid it any longer,’ he whispered finally as he join them.

She shook her head. ‘No,’ she whispered in response. ‘We can run away, can’t we? Together?’ Dormé knew this was not fair to the children, but she was just incredibly heartbroken at having to give them up. She spouted impossible options, most of which were no longer viable options anyway, even if they were to be selfish and make a run for it with the children.

She kissed Runa, who had quieted at the entrance of her daddy and was reaching for him, calling to him.

Laic also quieted upon Daddy’s entrance, but registered something was wrong, even worse than the angry mob. He would soon find out what it was.

Dormé’s whispered response tore at his heart and as much as he felt the same way as she did, Anakin knew that ultimately there was no choice left to them, not anymore. He glanced away as she spoke of impossible options, struggling not to give in despite the fact he wanted to believe in her ideas as much as she did. ‘Dormé please—’ he cut in finally as his eyes now filled with tears met hers. ‘Believe me, if I knew of another way—’ his voice caught as he glanced away once more fighting back the tears as she admitted in sorrowful tones that it wasn’t fair.

‘It’s not fair!’ she said sorrowfully as though she were pleading with him to change his mind. Dormé knew there were no longer any other options available and that if they were to keep their children safe, they would have to let them go. Nevertheless, it ripped Dormé’s heart to shreds. As Runa went to her daddy, Dormé already missed holding her, feeling as though she would never be able to do so again.

‘I know, and I know that I have no one to blame but myself. I’m so sorry for dragging you and our children down with me,’ he whispered in barely audible tones. Anakin silently reached out for their daughter as a tear finally escaped and made its way down his cheek. Holding her near, he closed his eyes, struggling to clear his thoughts, to not give into despair. He knew no matter what was to come, their children would always be in good and loving hands, that Force willing, one day they would return to them.

Lowering to her knees, she pulled Laic into her arms, unable to prevent herself from crying. ‘We love you so much, Laic. Never forget that.’

Anakin closed his eyes and bit his lip so hard he could taste blood. Rubbing Runa’s back, he softly whispered in Huttese how he loved her, that Daddy and Ama would come for her and Laic as soon as they could, that Uncle Soren and Auntie Saché would care for her and that he was so proud of her his little girl.

‘What’s happening, Ama?’ Laic asked.

Dormé tearfully explained to the youngling that he was going to train as a Jedi and they wouldn’t be able to see each other for a long time. He was crying and hugging her tightly saying how he would rather not go. She reminded him Uncle Obi-Wan would be with him and he protested that he didn’t care, that he wanted to stay with his family.

‘Daddy, don’t make me go, please! Please don’t make me go!’ he cried.

Despite Anakin’s need to keep a strong face, a couple tears were spilled. Bowing his head, the emperor struggled to explain to his son that it was for his own safety and for the safety of his sister that they live with their uncles and aunts. ‘It won’t be forever, Laic. We will come for you as soon as it is safe for you and Runa to return home,’ he hoarsely whispered.

Saché struggled to keep the security programs scrambled but she knew that her contacts now had someone decoding them. Though she was skilled she also knew that htey were as well. Despite her speed and using all the tricks that Soren had taught her in the end she could only watch in concern as one by one the security systems were overridden. It was only when the last of the codes had been overridden that Saché knew it was time to abandon all hope. Now came the second part of her mission. With much hesitance, she approached the Vader’s private chambers where the family remained. From the other side of the door she spoke in soft but concerned tones. ‘Your graces, I must inform you that the lower levels of the palace has now been breached. I’m sorry, but the time has come for all of us to depart.’

Dormé struggled against the temptation to run away or do something else drastic. For the sake of their children’s lives, this had to be done; she knew this. Nevertheless, as Saché took Runa from her husband, Dormé felt as though her heart was shattering in her chest. Dormé gave her Runa’s favourite stuffy her ama made for her. ‘She can’t sleep without it,’ she murmured before kissing her daughter for the last time, unable to say goodbye, for it was too final.

It was too much to bear as Laic, crying silently, kept his eyes on his parents as Obi-Wan took his hand and led him swiftly away.

Anakin felt as though his heart was tearing in two as Saché silently took Runa from his arms. Clenching his jaw he could only watch in pained silence as Obi-Wan as well joined Saché’s side and took Laic’s hand to guide him to safety. For a moment he didn’t move, he couldn’t as Anakin knew if he did his legs would surely give way to the weight of sorrow that threatened to crush him. He didn’t look at Dormé either for this too would only result in him losing his fragile resolve to keep it together. There would be time enough to mourn soon enough and thus instead he quietly helped her collect the things they would need in the coming days.

It was like everything was crumbling around them. Dormé knew it was not the time for mourning; they needed to collect their material possessions and leave at once, though where they planned to go was uncertain to Dormé. She threw herself into packing so as not to think of their children not joining them. She knew they would need credits and valuables for trading, changes of clothes, basic food and medical supplies... Her mind went on overdrive, planning, tabulating, checking off mental lists of things they needed.

It wasn’t until Anakin had collected one of Laic’s building toys that it finally registered with him that this was a journey only Dormé and he would travel. Fighting back tears, he swiftly returned to their living chambers where he informed Dormé that everything was ready for their departure.

Dormé’s chest burned as she fought against further tears and when Anakin informed her they were ready to go, she could only nod in reply.

It was then that Anakin heard the sound of footsteps in the hallways nearby, along with the sounds of laser fire and shouts of warning and curses. While Anakin knew that there was a very strong possibility that they would not make it out alive, he couldn’t help but thank the Force that their children had long since done so.

The main door to their quarters flew open and immediately Anakin drew his lightsaber, its crimson blade glowing and casting shadows against his scarred cheek. The commander dropped to his knees as he gasped out what Anakin already knew but was still trying to wrap his mind around. ‘Your graces, you must leave they’ve broken through the main levels and are—’ he never finished his statement as more laser fire slammed into his body causing him to die even before his body reached the floor.

Dormé knew as well as the emperor that they had no more time left. It didn’t matter anyway. This palace was no longer their home without their children.

‘Dormé, go! Go now! ‘ Anakin shouted as he suddenly found himself blocking the laser fire with his lightsaber. Time had finally run out for the Vader and Anakin knew if they didn’t leave immediately, they would be torn apart by the very people they were supposed to have served.

She was hardly fazed by the laser fire, but when Anakin ordered her to go, she promptly obeyed him. Struggling only slightly with the weight of her luggage, she made her way as swiftly as possible to The Tempest.

Anakin tried to fight off the intruders as best he could, using his lightsaber only to block the shots fired at him. Though the temptation was great, he resisted knowing that slaughtering them would do little but add fuel to their fury. Also the true reason for his actions was swiftly departing with what little they valued to the small ship. Once he sensed she was nearing The Tempest Anakin used the Force to shove the invaders back to catch them off balance before swiftly departing after Dormé.

Once he met up with her, the former emperor was swift to place their things into the ship before helping her inside. As they took to the air, Anakin found himself having to fire shots at the entrances with the intent of blocking the intruders attempts to enter. While no one was hurt, it bought them time to depart and as they took to the air Anakin did his best not to look at the palace or what was left of it. But despite his best wishes, his eyes flickered to the monument of Aené and he felt his heart jump to his throat. He didn’t care what they did to the palace, but he desperately hoped they’d have the decency not to desecrate their unborn daughter’s and their other children’s memory.

Dormé watched the palace being destroyed from the outside, her eyes also drifting to Aené’s monument, which was the last thing she saw before they entered space. Even with his additions to The Tempest the cockpit was still small, though Dormé hardly minded. She wrapped her arms around his waist, her expression vacant, holding him close. Her thoughts were consumed with all they had lost and those whom they were forced to leave behind.
