(y/n)'s POV
I shivered as Anakin pressed loving kisses on my stomach, "I love you both." He mumbled against my belly which tickled; causing me to let out a giggle.

"Guys this is sweet, but I'm still in here so please let's keep this kid friendly." Piett sighed from the floor as he was teaching R2 how to play cards, which was pretty adorable.

"Sorry Piett." I chuckled as Anakin came back up and pulled me into a hug. He lightly pressed multiple kisses on my cheek and I continued giggling. He's always been sweet to me, but these past few weeks, he's been even sweeter and has been showering me with love. It's amazing.

I know we're both still freaking out on the inside about the consequences of our decision, but on the outside, we're trying to enjoy it.

We're having a baby after all and it deserves to be celebrated.

"My lord-" Piett began to speak, but was interrupted.

"Anakin."

Both Piett and I turned our faces to look at Anakin with surprise, "What?" Piett asked, slightly stunned.

My fiancé shrugged, "You can call me Anakin, you've more than earned it." He smiled at his friend before turning his attention back to me, "Just remember when it's appropriate to use it and when it isn't." He told him as he rested his head in the crook of my neck.

Piett smiled happily, no doubt feeling honored, "Well Anakin," He said with a little too much enthusiasm and I didn't even need to see Anakin's face to know he let out an eye roll, "It's been a month, do you guys have a plan on how we're gonna do this?" He asked as he stood up from the floor and sat on the edge of the bed to face us, "Are we hiding the pregnancy? I'm sure I can whip up a nursery in here, no one comes in here anyway. Or will it be out in the open and we're gonna say it's mine?" I scrunched my face at his words and I felt Anakin chuckling, "Or, are we running?" He added that last one and although it sounded scary, I liked that he said we. He planned to follow us anywhere, Anakin and I both appreciated and loved his loyalty.

Anakin sighed, "Running isn't an option, Sidious would find me anywhere and I have too much unfinished business. It has to be the first one or the second one." He responded without lifting his head from my neck, I shivered as his cold breathe hit against it; giving me goosebumps, "What do you want to do my love?" He asked me softly as he brought his hand and placed it back on my stomach.

I thought for a moment, "Well that depends, will Tarkin allow me to stay here once he learns I've been knocked up by a Captain?" That felt weird saying.

Anakin shook his head, "Probably not and I wouldn't be able to help you either. Tarkin pretty much has the Emperor on speed dial, it would look suspicious if I was fighting for a pregnant woman to stay. Especially the same woman he hinted that he suspected I had a relationship with." He revealed and my eyes widened. He never told me this?

"What?" I slightly pushed him away so I could meet his eyes, "When was this; and why didn't you tell me?"

He shrugged, "It was around the time we were searching for Adam and he questioned my relationship with you, but I shut it down. He walked away without anymore suspicions, but that doesn't mean they can't return." He sighed as he laid his head back down on me and got comfortable, "And I didn't mention it because you had more important things to worry about."

"So I guess that leaves us with option one." Piett groaned as he looked around the room, "Good thing this room is big, I have plenty of space to work with."

"Or we don't have to do any of those choices." I spoke up when a different idea came to mind, one I had a feeling Anakin wasn't going to like.

"Absolutely not." He responded. So it appears he did hear me think about my idea. I glanced over to the nightstand where my crystal was, too late now, he already heard.

I sighed as I pushed him off so our eyes could meet again, "It's the most logical Ani, do you really think a whole ass baby can be hidden in a place like this?" I asked and I could see in his face that he was angered by my idea. I didn't like it either, but it was the only one I could see really working.

"I'm lost, what are you talking about?" Piett asked in a confused tone.

Anakin's eyes never left mine and I could see the water in them forming, "She wants to leave." He spoke low and his voice crack in the end.

"What?!" Piett almost shouted.

I sighed, "It's not as bad as he's making it sound," I turned to face my friend, "I have all the money that I saved up while being here. So I was thinking I can go home to Naboo, buy a secluded house, and raise the baby safely," I turned my attention back to my fiancé, "I'm not leaving you, we'll still be together, but this way, I won't have to hide him or her and you can come see us all the time." The more I spoke about it, the more sad I got at the idea of not seeing him everyday, or sleeping with him every night.

He shook his head, "I won't be able to see you as much as you think, I'm the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army. Like I told Piett before, I am bound to this place," A few tears fell from his eyes, "Please, I need you here with me. I promise I will do my best figure it all out, just don't leave." He begged as he brought his gloved hand up and placed it on my cheek.

I grabbed him to pull him into a hug as I let out a sigh of defeat, "Okay, I'm sorry I even suggested it, I promise I won't go anywhere." I soothed his panicked state.

Well there goes that idea..

"Sound proof walls!" Piett shouted out of nowhere causing us both to jump. We both looked up to him with confused expressions, but he wasn't looking at us, he pointed to the corner of the room, "I can build a small room, but big enough for a crib, over there with sound proof walls and whenever it cries; we'll just stick that little sucker right in there. Problem solved." He shrugged as he turned his attention to us with a victorious grin.

I glanced at Anakin who held an amused smile, "It seems he's got it all figured out for us."

2 days later

I sighed as Anakin hugged me goodbye, "I promise I'll be back soon, I have a few things to take care of for the Emperor. It should only be a few days." He assured me as he bent down and placed a kiss on my lips.

"Okay, just be safe." I responded in a slightly worried tone as I thought of what happened the last time he was gone.

He smiled, "You know I will." He pinched my cheek gently before turning his attention to Piett, "You know the drill."

Piett gave a thumbs up, "Keep an eye on her or I lose a spine, got it."

Anakin chuckled and faced me again, "I love you."

"I love you too." I kissed him one last time before he left the room. I sighed sadly as I turned to face my friend, "I miss him already."

He narrowed his eyes, "It hasn't even been thirty seconds."

I shrugged, "I don't care, I still do." I walked over to the dresser to grab a change of clothes.

"Do you want me to accompany you to your doctors appointment?" He asked as I pulled out leggings and a tank top.

I turned to him and furrowed my brows, "Don't you have plans with Ellie?" I questioned and his eyes widened.

"Oh shit I do." He responded and I chuckled, that's the second time he's forgotten about his date. "But I can cancel if you need me to go with you." He added and I shook my head.

"No, I feel bad. You've canceled on her so many times because of us. Go do something you want for once." I assured him with a smile.

He nodded, "Okay, but call me if you need me and don't go running off to Naboo either." He pointed at me with raised eyebrows as he began walking backwards towards the door.

I let out a chuckle, "Don't worry, that idea left my mind as quick as it came." It really did, although it may have been the most logical idea, I didn't want to go long periods of time without being with Anakin. I could hardly go thirty seconds. It's a good thing we have a few months to figure out what to do. So I'm trying not to stress about it right now. But hiding a kid.. that's not going to be easy, borderline impossible. But I'm trusting Anakin to figure it out.

He gave me a thumbs up before turning and leaving the room. I took a shower and changed into my clothes to go see the doctor. I had R2 and BB-4 roam around the place and they were going to meet me in my actual room, not Anakin's, around bedtime.

I stepped into the room where I usually met with my doctor and he was already in there waiting for me, "No friends today?" He asked without making eye contact with me as he closed the door behind me.

I shook my head as I got on the bed, "Not today." I informed him as I laid down and he brought out the ultrasound machine. I've seen this guy a few times since he learned the truth about my babies father and he's always been off with me. He hardly looks me in the eyes, he barely mutters a few words to me each visit, and just seems completely distant than how he usually was before he found out. I always assumed it was just because Anakin or Piett was usually in here with me, but even now he still seemed weird.

He nodded as he gestured for me to lift up my shirt. I did as he said and he began rubbing the gel on my stomach, "So," He spoke which took me by surprise, "How does it feel carrying the child of Darth Vader?"

I blinked a few times, maybe it was because they were in here, this is the most he's ever said, "Um, normal?" I really didn't know how to answer that to be honest.

He snorted and it made me narrow my eyes at him, "How do you know it won't be just like him?" His tone was louder than his usual whisper and I could sense a bit of attitude.

So now that I'm alone, he's gonna choose to be bold, "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, giving him the same snippy attitude.

He lightly rolled his eyes, "I think you know what I mean." And before I could say anything back, he turned the screen so I could see the black and white image, "Everything seems fine and you're at six weeks so far," He informed me in a monotone. I eyed the image and felt joy in my heart, until this damn asshole spoke again, "So what is it anyway, do you just sleep together or is there more to it; he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to love?"

"If you don't start minding your business, I'll let him know exactly how I was treated today and I'll be the one to write the letter to your widow." I threatened while keeping my eyes on the image, I'll admit, I surprised myself a little, Anakin is really rubbing off on me. From the corner of my eye I saw him stiffen. He didn't say anything more to me the rest of my time there.

After a few minutes of cleaning the gel off of my stomach, I stood up to leave, "Wait." He stopped me and I sighed; turning back around, "You need these." He pulled out two small bottles and took a pill out of each one before setting the bottles on the counter. He came over to me and dropped them in my hand, without looking me in the eyes.

I eyed the pills, "What are they?"

"Pre-natal vitamins." He spoke quickly before turning around, "They're important for the babies health." He added and as he walked over to the ultrasound machine so he could clean it up and put it away.

I nodded, "Alright." I mumbled as I left the room. I walked to mine, but not before stopping by the cafeteria and getting a cup of water.

On my way to my room, I took the vitamins with the water and yawned when I was done. It was barely six o'clock and I was already tired. This baby really is sucking the energy out of me.

Once I reached my room, I plopped onto my bed and sighed when my head hit the pillow. It was annoying how much I already missed him. I laid on my back and pressed my hand to my stomach and smiled, "If you're a boy, I'll name you Noah," After my brother of course, "And if you're a girl, I like the name Heather." I chuckled to myself. I hope Anakin likes the names, it's not something we talked about, but I have a feeling he will.

I closed my eyes when I yawned again and let myself fall asleep.

I woke up to the feeling of wanting to throw up, I groaned as I turned to my side. I already had morning sickness, don't tell me I'll have night sickness too. If that's even a thing, I don't know, I haven't read any of my books yet.

I checked the time and it's been two hours since I had fallen asleep. I pulled my comlink up and called to Piett, "Hey are you still on your date?" I asked as I placed one hand on my stomach, it was hurting slightly worse than usual.

Finally I got a response, "Kind of, why; are you okay? You don't sound good." He responded in a worried tone.

I sighed, "Just a little nauseous, but I don't want to bug you on your date, so it's fine."

"Oh my god; are you okay?" I heard Ellie through the comlink, "Want us to come and check on you?"

I chuckled, she's too sweet sometimes, "No it's alright, continue on your date I'll be fine." I assured her.

"Nonsense, we already did the good part so we'll be over right now." She giggled and I gagged a little, gross.

"Little TMI there Ellie," I chuckled, "But thank you and Piett you know what to bring." I smiled even though they couldn't see me. Usually when I get my morning sickness, soup helps me, a lot. I'm not sure why, but it made me feel better almost instantly.

Not too long after, they both came through my door and Ellie immediately checked my head for a fever, "You feel fine." She spoke as she removed her hand and Piett set the bowl of soup on my nightstand.

"Thank you." I smiled up at him and I was about to grab the soup when a wave of nausea hit me again and I had to bring my hand up to my mouth to hold in the vomit, "Oh god, it's getting worse." I mumbled and Piett eyed me with concern.

"Come on let's get you to the bathroom." Ellie helped me stand up and she gasped slightly, "Oh my god, I think I know what's wrong." She rubbed my back gently as I looked up to meet her gaze, "You started your period." She whispered and my eyes widened as I turned around to see the red on my sheets.

My heart dropped, "Piett." I almost cried and he looked around to where I was looking and his face fell.

"We need to get her to the doctor, now!"
