Disclaimer. George Lucas owns her. I just gave her to Kenobi.

They’d grown up so fast. Faster than what she’d really expected. Then again a mother never expects to be able to watch her children grow. Well… not her anyway. If only because she missed Luke and Leia growing up. But not Kaelin and Myrddin. Both her boys had grown up to be fine young men. One more like their father than the other.

“It’s time.”

That made her blink slightly and stare at Myrddin. “… What?”

The more impatient of the twins kisses Padme’s cheek. “It’s time, mom. Me and Kaelin are going. There’s a war to take care of.”

A war that she knew could be won when it came to these two. Something she’d known from their very birth. Giving a sad smile she kissed Myrddin’s cheek and then Kaelin’s and made sure the boys had enough supplies to last them. “Be careful.”

“We will be.”

She watched as they left. As the most precious things in her life went off to fight a war that had never been theirs to fight. But they were their father’s son. She couldn’t fault them for that.
