Almost the moment he had received approval from Padmé, Anakin was out the door and hurrying over. He briefly considered stealing a car, but decided against it. Hardly the example he wanted to provide for his son. A taxi would take too long. In the end, he pushed as much energy as he could through the Force, blurring through the streets as he ran to Padmé's door.
So many mistakes. So many disappointments. He couldn't, wouldn't let himself hurt his son again. No more failed attempts at family. No more painful separations. No more harsh words. This was his last chance.
The run barely winded him. Anakin took a moment at the door to run a hand through his hair and adjust his robes. He took a breath and let his mind settle. And then he knocked upon the door and waited.
