Padmé smiled, though it was a sad smile. "It is alright. As many planets as there are in this galaxy and more - that's how many hearts were broken, or lives destroyed by that war. Anakin and I were never meant to have a happy ending. But I think that when you look forward, to you and Leia, and your children? That is the happiest ending we could have had."
And she meant that. Even if the years had sounded incredibly trying at times. "When I was... dying, I actually felt Anakin's pain momentarily. I'm sorry that she has to feel something like that at all, but I have a feeling that with the trouble yours get up to, it's something she feels more often than not."
