Summary
So Anakin Skywalker leaves the Jedi Order and shifts the course of Qui-Gon Jin’s prophecy forever—
But he doesn’t care about fate.
All that Anakin cares about is her and the children, Padmé knows, and she takes his promise when they marry—not in secret, because he is happy to become a Senator’s husband. Obi-Wan attends, as a Jedi representative, but it doesn’t feel right.
What would feel right would be him walking Anakin down the aisle. Shmi is dead, buried in the sands of Tatooine, and Obi-Wan is the one that Anakin is closest to in the world. Padme cannot marry Anakin without knowing that he approves.
Obi-Wan approves, because he does attend with a smile on his lips, but there is something that aches in his bright eyes when he congratulates them.
And Padmé thinks—Anakin is the one that Obi-Wan is closest to in the galaxy. Obi-Wan’s world has narrowed down to Jedi master and padawan for decades, and now he has neither.
And something in her yearns for him to stay.
(After they escape the Arena, Obi-Wan senses the twins in Padmé's womb, and everything changes. Anakin still dreams of the galaxy ending and Obi-Wan won't stay, but Padmé refuses to let the people she loves burn.)
