Anakin responds, “We're not going to worry about anything right now, alright? This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life.” He hugs and kisses Padme. Any father who watches this scene may remember the moment he first found out his child was on the way.
Anakin's reaction and joy upon hearing Padme's pregnancy is beautiful and heartwarming. He and Padme truly loved their children and would've been great parents if not for Palpatine's manipulations.
And during the conversation, Padme is holding her stomach and appears to have a bump, seemingly confirming she was pregnant long before Revenge of the Sith. However, she chose not to tell Anakin, presumably because he was about to go into a battle.
Rush Clovis is really the only possible answer. The timeline matches up pretty well, and their prior relationship was common knowledge. Who would have blamed Padmé for reigniting that old flame while dealing with the crisis with the banks?
Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife. He had no idea Padmé had given birth before she died, still less that the Jedi had spirited the children away and hidden them.

Why did Darth Vader not sense Leia was his daughter?
Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection. Vader's denial of Anakin Skywalker's legacy and his fear of getting hurt again prevented him from realizing the truth about his children until later in the original trilogy.
In order to keep the children safe from Vader, who was unaware of their births, it was decided that Luke would be taken to live with his uncle and aunt, Owen and Beru Lars, on Tatooine; meanwhile Leia was taken to Alderaan as the adopted child of Amidala's friend and colleague, Senator Bail Organa, and his wife, Queen ...
The Muun tried to impose his will on the Force into creating a Forceful being, but considered this a failure, as Anakin Skywalker was created by the Force itself to bring an end to the Sith once and for all. Later, Palpatine used the promise of this power's effects to entice Anakin Skywalker further to the dark side.
Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. The revelation confirms that Emperor Palpatine personally manipulated the Dark Side of the Force to create Anakin, making him Anakin's true 'father'.

Since Clovis also died on Scipio on this same trip, Padmé could lean into the rumors that Clovis was the father, allowing people to believe it and, therefore, deflect attention from her and Anakin. Except, no one talked openly about it out of respect for Padmé who was, undoubtedly, upset over Clovis' passing.
As for why Anakin didn't return to free his mother, it's because he never got the opportunity. Relationships were strictly forbidden in the Jedi Order, and all of them had to forgo their own parents.
Anakin's vision did come true, as Padmé, heartbroken by her husband's downfall, loses her will to live and succumbs while giving birth to twins. Before her death, Padmé still believed there was still good left in Anakin and that one day he could be saved with the help of their children.
Anakin and Padmé met when Anakin was still just a young boy in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Though he was already infatuated with her then, it was a boyish crush — one that Padmé could not reciprocate at the time.
The two do whilst being transported to their seeming execution on Geonosis, however, with Padme believing they're almost certainly dead, and thus have no need to protect themselves. When they survive, Padme decides that she can't hide her love for Anakin, and the two marry despite the risks.
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
No, Anakin was never made aware that he had children until he is initially confronted with Luke, and then suspects between ANH and ESB that Luke is his son. Obi-Wan comments that "the Emporer knew, as I did, that if Anakin were to have any offspring they would be a threat to him.
Luke and Leia never sensed that they were twins until Return of the Jedi despite both being sensitive to the Force. Anakin Skywalker's twin children are the original Star Wars trilogy's driving force, having been separated after Padme's death.
