Coming upon Obi-Wan hunched over and muttering over a pile of parts and
wires, Padmé has to press her balled up hand to her mouth, hard to
stay silent,but she cannot deny the pain her heart feels, the sniffle she
tries to keep quiet, or tears that suddenly well up. It reminds her so
achingly of Anakin, and the pain is just too fresh. She doubted that would
pass soon, especially with Luke's eyes having the same shade of blue as his
father's. She also couldn't, wouldn't, assume Obi-Wan wasn't aware of her
upset, even if he may not know why.
"Do you need a break?" It's gentle and quiet, an offer but also something
more - newborns are demanding, taking up much of Padmé's time, though to
say she was anything but overjoyed to snuggle one or both of her babies to
her breast would be a more brazen lie than Palpatine was trying to sell
with the 'New Senate', but she would be glad for some time with an adult.
