The Chancellor sent me a message that I am to come see him immediately, it was very important. So important I needed to pull myself away from Anakin's arms to make sure everything was okay.
"Where are you going?" Anakin sat up on his elbows, his face glistening. We had been napping together and the night had already fell. Making the moonlight shine against his face and chest.
"I need to go meet with the Chancellor. I'll be back soon." I told him, about to open the door.
"You're leaving without kissing your husband good bye?" He whined, I turned to his groggy smirk.
"Of course not." I smiled and walked over to his side.
I leaned down to kiss him and he grabbed my face to pull me down back onto the bed. I laughed as he tried pulling me on top of him but I unfortunately had to resist.
"I'm sorry, dear. The Chancellor said it's an emergency." I crawled off of him.
"But I also have an emergency." He whined, spreading his arms out, "I find my wife too beautiful for this galaxy."
"One emergency at a time." I laughed and kissed his forehead, "I'll be home soon, and then I can take care of your emergency." I winked.
"I love you." He said, my heart flies every time he says it.
"I love you, too." I told him then I opened the door and left for the Chancellor.
I ran up the steps of the theater, I felt uncomfortable interrupting as I entered Palpatines booth and walked right past the Royal Guards who barely took a second look. Chancellor Palpatine was looking over the aquatic opera, which personally I thought was boring after a matter of time. I leaned down to meet his level.
"You wanted to see me Chancellor?" I whispered to get his attention.
"Oh, yes (Y/N). I'm so glad to see you, please come sit." he said, then looked to the people with him, "Leave us."
Without another word, they left. I felt a great amount of discomfort reside in my stomach. My stomach felt heavy, not just from the little one growing there. I sat down in the seat next to him and kept my face forward and away from him.
"I've just received news from our clone intelligence unit that General Grievous is hiding in Utapau system." he told me.
"That's wonderful! That means we can finally seize that monster and end this fighting." I smiled, finally I would have peace that my family wouldn't live in a time of war.

"I trust you'll pass this information on to the Jedi Council." he nods.
"Of course." I nodded, I stayed only for a moment because at this point in my pregnancy it's become much harder for me to move than before.
"I must say I would be disappointed in the Councils judgement if they didn't choose you to capture him. You're more than qualified for it." He smiled.
"I'm afraid the council hasn't been very keen on me lately." I admitted.
"They just are afraid of your potential." he narrows his eyes, "You're different from them, and they find that threatening."
"I don't want to be different from them. If I could I would do anything to be more like my former Master." I complained. The roots of my feelings slowly ripping.
"You shouldn't. Your difference is what makes me trust you, (Y/N). You embrace your feelings, unlike the Jedi Council. You allow yourself to have your basic human emotions, while showing that you can still be helpful to the galaxy like when you ended Count Dooku." He pointed out.
"I shouldn't have done that. Allowing my feelings to control is a path to the dark side." I admitted.
"You Jedi and your sides to the force." He rolled his eyes, "In my opinion, the force is the force. As long as it's doing what you need, it's good. Anyone who has such a gift should do all thats possible to help. The thing that makes a force user dark is the opposition of those who think they're right." He adjusted himself.
"I assume you figured out I can't allow myself to exactly trust the council. I'm afraid you're the only one I can trust now." He looked at me for an answer. I felt my heart sink thinking of the councils request of me.
"Why is that?" I asked. I admit only to myself and Anakin I've had questions. But for someone on the outside I wondered why? To everyone else I assumed they were convinced Jedi were seen as the wisest in the galaxy.
"I believe they've created a plan to take over the Republic." He said, I turned to him shocked. I had never thought that far.
"Surely you must be paranoid-" I suggested, but he cut me off.
"The Jedi Order have the ability to wave motions they deem necessary. When the Republic and the Separatist Senate suggested a peace treaty where the Republic owns an official amount and the Separatists own their amount, the Jedi refused. Claiming the Dark side of the force would only grow if we didn't stomp them out completely." He said, "I've never known Jedi to turn down peace."

I sat there astonished. I wondered if Anakin knew of this. I wondered why Master Windu agreed, he's always been against fighting this war and now he's allowed it to continue?
"If they haven't included you in their plot to overthrow me, they soon will." The Chancellor told me. I thought of what Obi-Wan had asked me to do only yesterday. For me to spy on the Chancellor, was that apart of this plot? At first what seemed crazy slowly became more and more plausible as I thought in my own silence.
"I have to admit, some of my faith in them has recently been shaken." I muttered.
"They asked you to do something, didn't they?" He turned to me, "They asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest?"
I only responded with a look in my eye. I couldn't tell him.
"I understand, you don't need to tell me." He sighed, "It's a pity they've allowed their fear to consume them."
"The Jedi have no fear." I protested automatically, "The Jedi are brave, it is the Sith who feed off of their fear."
"Nothing is brave without having fear. And all those who have power, are afraid to lose it." He told me, "The Sith and the Jedi are alike in that way."
"The Jedi are much different from the Sith. The Jedi help people, they think outwardly." I defended myself.
"The separatists seem to think differently. Their leader was a Sith, and they had full confidence he helped them. You must think differently than how they've trained you to think. I know you can, search your feelings, (Y/N), something is wrong here." He pleaded me. The last sentence he said reminded me of what Obi-Wan told me after the briefing.
"Something is wrong, because the dark side of the force is growing." I said, I felt my spine tingle as I said it.
"And the light side grows too. Have you seen the numbers of Jedi compared to the number of Sith?" He shook his head, "And even with 2 of them, the Sith had enough power to kill more Jedi."
"The Sith are evil." I say simply, my anger growing at this conversation. I thought I wanted someone to tell me I wasn't crazy for questioning the Jedi, but now that I know I'm not alone it angers me.
"Ah, you show your narrow mindedness." He waves his finger, "From a different point of view, the Jedi are evil. The Sith just have more freedom in choosing the powers they wish to use. They have the ability to learn about all sorts of powers the Jedi have deemed unnatural. Like when Darth Plagueis The Wise..." he trailed off.
"Who?" I urged him to continue, my curiosity besting my judgement.
"I'm surprised the Jedi never told you. Or I suppose they would prefer to keep that a secret, of course they wouldn't teach you this." He waved his hand, saying his thinking process aloud I was saddened by not knowing folklore like this. Wouldn't learning of the dark side make me wiser as a Jedi? Or maybe they kept this from us for a reason.
"Maybe I shouln't know-" I start but now he stops me.
"Nonsense child, if one is to learn about a subject, one must learn about all aspects of it. Not just one side." He said, I stayed silent which allowed him to continue. "Darth Plagueis The Wise was an ancient lord of the Sith. He was extremely powerful in the dark side of the force. He reached heights that no other Sith has, he was even able to learn how to stop those he loved from dying."
Anakin popped into my mind as I blinked. My future children bounced behind my eyelids. I basically tuned out for the rest of the story. The thought that I could save my family from what might happened amazed me. Of course I had dealt with dark side before. My fighting style, taught to me by Master Windu was dark force based. It is what allowed me to get the upper hand on my many fights with Count Dooku, Grievous, and Asajj Ventress even. It makes me dance on the line of the dark side, using my opponents aggression and using it against them. It was possible to use the darker powers without falling into the abyss, I knew this to be true.
But I also knew the council forbid a great amount of powers from being used. Even if you could learn to possess them. I've done a great many things against the Code though. It made my heart ache for my own sanity, which has become overridden with my own emotions, heightened by my hormones and sick feeling in my stomach. This could be the way of protecting my family.
"Is it possible to learn this power- to save people from dying?" I asked.
"Not from a Jedi."
