Deep Avalanches

Epilogue

6 months after the Clone Wars, Naboo.

The doors opened to the balcony overlooking Naboo's lake country. Padme walked outside and took a whiff of the flowery air. She had a twin on each hip, one boy and one girl, both almost 6 months old. Before they were born, Anakin was a trainwreck because of all the visions he had constantly. However once Palpatine died, they stopped for good. He finally could enjoy the excitement of becoming a new parent and spending more time with his wife. However, both expecting parents were in for a huge shock when the baby turned out to be babies. When they finally got to hold them, Anakin realized that sometimes bad dreams are just bad dreams, and there are times when they're twice as better than the original. They named the boy Luke Qui-Gon and the girl Leia Shimi, their middle names coming from two people who have passed on but still had an impact on one or both of the parents. Coming back to present time, Padme looked out at the lake as she remembered the memories of her and Anakin all those years ago. She looked down at Luke and Leia, who had a laughing smile plastered on each of their faces. These two were her pride and joy, the reason she kept being a Senator while Anakin stayed at home with the kids. He had really been enjoying fatherhood a lot, especially after he left the Jedi Order. He turned out to be a great dad to the twins and always wanted to help out with absolutely anything that he could humanly help with. It made her smile every time she saw Anakin smile while playing with his kids. Padme felt the lake breeze brush across her skin as she took a deep breath. She kissed each of the twins heads. This was the life she always wanted, one with peace and lots of love to go around. She looked out at the lake as the sun began to rise above the Naboo terrain when she felt a hand on her left shoulder. She turned to see her husband smiling at her and the twins. They kissed each other gently and Padme spoke after,

"I'm glad you could join us, Ani."
"Wouldn't miss it," Anakin said as he took Leia from his wife's arm so she could hold Luke better.
"When does the wedding start?"
"In a half hour, but we should probably get going."
"Agreed. Plus, I think Leia needs a change..."
"Who-whe! You have a stin-ky diaper, Leia. Daddy's going to go change you! Yes I am!"
"I should probably change Luke while we're at it... It would be embarrassing to get up during Obi-Wan and Cody's wedding because one of them is stinking up the balcony."
"I'll get up during the wedding to change either one if they have a blowout."
"Anakin... You, Rex, and Ahsoka are the best persons. I can do it."
"Awww..."
"Now c'mon, we need to get going so we make it on time."
"Alright, I'm so excited! I love weddings!"
"Me too! And it's the twin's first big event!"
"Well, let's not waste any time! Let's go!"
"...Anakin... Are you forgetting to do something?"
"Oh, yeah... Let's change your stinky diaper, Leia-bug!"

Padme chuckled as Anakin made a stink face after he smelled Leia's full diaper. They went inside to change both of the twin's diapers and got dressed for the wedding. Anakin was wearing a three-piece black suit with a cream blue tie. He also had a thin, fitted black glove for his prosthetic hand. He turned to help Padme zip up her dress. She was wearing a floor length, layered lavender dress with a plum sash draped around the waist. They also dressed the twins in outfits that were formal enough for a wedding. Leia was in a yellow lemon drop dress with flowers etched on the skirt and a yellow flower, stretchy headband. Luke was in a baby blue dress shirt-like onesie with khaki pants and a little baby fedora. They were ready to go to their best friend's happiest day of his life, and in style for once.

Obi-Wan looked outside the transparent door out to the balcony. There were about 20 to 30 people outside. He ran his fingers through his light auburn hair nervously. He didn't realize how many people showed up just for today. For his wedding day. He never thought that this day would even come, but here he was in a suit and tie with a purple flower corsage pinned on the left of his charcoal blazer. Obi-Wan wiped the sweat from his brow when he felt a small, soft hand on his shoulder. It was Ahsoka. She was wearing a mid-thigh, flowy, navy blue dress that hung over one shoulder. Attached to the shoulder strap was a pleated cape of the same color. She hugged Obi-Wan tightly,
