Where do you see yourself in twenty years?
They'd been bombarding the droid base for a month already. In the rain. It was hardly what anyone would term fun. Anakin still hadn't been entirely sure why he was even there. Most of the work was being done by the artillery, after all and there hadn't been much call for either starfighters -- though he did wonder if an aerial bombardment would work better but there were no capital ships to spare for this particular operation -- or for much close-in action.
He was bored and eventually he'd have to find something to do before he went crazy but for now he was contenting himself with something sort of like meditating. Okay, more like daydreaming. Or fantasizing. And of course it would be about Padme, his thoughts usually turned to her when he wasn't focusing on the mission at hand. If only she could be there righ-...well, no. If only he could be with her right now.
Somewhere in there, as his thoughts drifted along, Anakin began to imagine what things might be like for them in the future. How he'd like them to be, anyway. He would have gotten that silly rule about attachments done away with and they could be husband and wife in the open instead of only in the dark. He'd be a master by then, for sure, probably having had a padawan or two of his very own and maybe...
...maybe even children. That was a thought that both terrified and filled him with a fierce sort of longing all at once. A son with his mother's looks and his father's talent. A son he could teach the ways of the Force, who would grow up to be a great Jedi in his own right. And the daughter would have to take after her mother as well, he couldn't imagine it any other way. She'd have the sharp wit and a tongue to match, too, he imagined, smiling.
If only things could be like that. He'd make it happen. But first they needed to finish this Force-be-damned mission. Anakin sat up from and stretched, looking out over the battlefield. There had to be a way to make things go more quickly...
