Growing Up: The Next Step
Leia lied in her bed thinking about everything that had happen between her and Han in the past few weeks.  It all started with a dare, she kissed him and then he kissed her.  Before she knew it she could find comfort in his arms at anytime and she liked it.  Han Solo was also thinking about that past few weeks, and how amazing they were to him.  For the first time in his life he like a woman and it wasn�t just sexual.  



�Hey Leia,� Han said.

�Hi Han,� Leia said.

�Ready to go,� Han said.

�Yes Luke and the Rouges will be there soon,� Leia said.

�On Hoth,� Han asked.

�Yes,� Leia said.



Han and Leia began their walk to the Falcon where Chewie would let them in.  They would then start their 6 days journey to the Hoth system, where the new Rebel base would be located.  Leia and Han had more important things on their mind besides where the new base was.  Both of their minds were on the fact they would be in the same ship for 6 days and they didn�t know how that would be.



�Ok Chewie let�s take off.� Han said.

�Alright,� Chewie growled.



It wasn�t that hard to get the ship into hyperspace with the repair that Chewie and Luke had been doing in the past few weeks.  Han put the ship in autopilot and looked to make sure they were on the right course while Chewie we back to some pairs.  Leia was working on some minor repairs and he decided to join her.  He couldn�t hide from her in fear of a fight for six day.



�You got that,� Han said.

�Yep,� Leia said.

�If you need me I�ll be in my quarters�you remember where the guest quarters are,� Han asked.

�I do,� Leia said.



Han left and had no idea why that conversation sounded like one they had before they started to get close.  They used to try their hardest to just a civil conversation with out the other trying to rip out the others throat.  Leia was sitting wondering the same thing as he left.  She got up and found that Han had come back.  



�Are you scared of being with me,� Han asked.

�No�I don�t know,� Leia said.

�Leia we barely talk about what ever we are,� Han said.

�Han this is new to me� and I just don�t know what you want,� Leia said.

�I want you,� Han said moving closer.

�Why�you could have any girl you want why me,� Leia said.

�You are beautiful, smart, funny, kind, strong and so much more the question is why me,� Han said.

�You have a heart of gold, you�re loyal, smart, and very handsome,� Leia said. 

�I love you,� Han said.

�I love you too,� Leia said as his lips met hers.



Her arms went around his neck and pulled him closer while he pushed her against the wall.  Even thou they had shared many kissed in the past few weeks this was the most passionate.  This kiss made the next step in their relationship, a relationship that would be tested.  Passion, desire, and a need to fulfilled was all they knew and cared about as they made their way to his quarters.  



�Leia are you sure,� Han asked knowing she�d never done this before.

�Yes,� Leia said kissing him again.



Han woke up to find his arms around Leia small body while her back lied pressed against his chest.  He moved his hand to her face where he moved some of the hair that had fallen out of her braids.  He could move easily without waking her or at least he hoped he could.  He got up and stood up look down at her sleeping form and smile went across his face.  A few minutes later after he was dress he saw her beginning to wake up.



�Morning Sweetheart,� Han said.  

�Good morning,� Leia said setting up but keeping to sheet pressed against her.

�I got you some more comfortable clothes,� Han said.

�Alright,� Leia said.

�I�ll let you shower and get ready,� Han said.

�Han about last night,� Leia said.

�Forget it,� Han said.

�No�I do love you,� Leia said.

�Then no regrets,� Han said setting on the bed.

�None,� Leia said.

�You should get ready,� Han said.

�Alright,� Leia said.



Han stood up and Leia watched him as he picked up the clothing and laid it on the bed and left the room.  He left with a wide grin on his face and Leia had one to match.  She stood up and went to take a shower and it hit her that she was Han Solo�s lover.  What would her family do if they could see her now?  Her father would go crazy to know that his little girl slept with a Corellian smuggler.  Her Aunt Evita would crazy since it was most improper to have pre-martial sex and to a man 9 years older than her they�d all would have a heart attack. 



�Well Aunt Evita I guess it�s good you�re not here,� Leia said picking up her clothes.



She looked at the outfit Han had laid out for her and started to put it on after her shower.  The Corellians were known for liking vibrant colors and revealing some skin.  The shirt was a sleeveless purple and came just below the belly button, the pants were tight in some places yet lose in others.  She wore her hair in the usual top braids and out in the necklace Han gave to her.  She put her belt around her waist that seem to be more obvious with this outfit and tied her boots. 



�Hey,� Leia said.

�Hi�you look great,� Han said.

�Thanks,� Leia said.



The days seem to fly by for them as they reached Hoth and Leia couldn�t believe it had been 6 days.  In a few hours she would be at the new base.  The first couple of days she and Han spent most of the time together.  Han was sure he�s had sex with Leia more time in the past six days then he�d ever had with one woman in his life.



�Beginning landing cycle,� Han said.

�Alright,� Leia said sitting behind him.



He landed and Leia could already feel the coolness of the base and wondered why she still was in the outfit that Han had given her.  She knew that she would change into something warmer once she gets to her new quarters.  Han stood up and so did she, they started there way out of the Falcon hand in hand.



�Leia Organa what are you wearing,� Aunt Evita said. 

�Aunt Evita you alive,� Leia said.

�What would you father do if he saw you like this,� Aunt Evita said.

�Aunt Evita I can explain,� Leia said.

�We need to talk NOW,� Aunt Evita said.

�I�ll see you later I need to talk to Luke,� Han said.

�Sure,� Leia said confused about her aunt being alive.



Leia gave Han her best apology smile she could as they exited the room with her aunt.  She had a feeling that not all was well and with her aunt Evita that was never good.  She and her aunt were known for their fights and disagreements.  She always wanted Leia to be proper and act like a �true princess� as she put it.  There was always something that bothered her about the way Leia acted.  They stopped outside a hallway that didn�t have many people in it and she knew what was coming.

  

�Aunt how are you alive,� Leia said.

�Luke Skywalker is on base and you know him,� Aunt Evita said.

�Yes he�s one of my good friends,� Leia said confused.

�Not only are you hanging around people like Captain Solo but with Commander Skywalker too,� Evita said.

�What�s wrong with Luke,� Leia said.

�Your father never told you,� Evita said.

�Told me what,� Leia said.

�After your mother gave birth to you she was very weak and didn�t have long to live so Bail adopted you and another family took your twin brother,� Evita said.

�Luke�s my brother,� Leia said.

�Yes your mother lived longer then she was suppose to or she would have kept him�the doctor told her she would live a few weeks after the birth,� Evita said.

�Luke knows,� Leia asked.

�I told him�I thought he knew as well,� Evita said

�I have to see him,� Leia said.

�As you already can tell I don�t approve of Captain Solo and�� Evita began but Leia had already left. 



Leia walked slowly away from her aunt no really listening to anything she had to say after I told him.  She could feel that she was behind her.  She knew she didn�t approve of Han but what was she going to do about it.  A thousand thoughts ran through Leia head as she came to where Han and Luke where.  Both laughing and joking around as Leia entered and Luke knew right away she was there and walked towards her.  She ran to him and gave him a hug as she twirled her around.



�Have missed something,� Han asked.

�Leia and I are twins Han,� Luke said holding her hand.

�What�how,� Han asked.

�After my real mother gave birth to me she was so weak the doctor said she would only live a week or two so she gave us both up�she lived a few years longer and stayed with my adopted family,� Leia said going over to Han.

�Leia this isn�t lady like,� Evita said.

�I think I�m acting just fine�it�s been a hard day,� Leia said looking at Luke.

�I bet,� Evita said.

�What that suppose to mean,� Leia asked.

�I can tell you have already dishonored the Organa name by�� Evita said.

�What,� Leia asked. 

�Me,� Han said.

�Yes you are too old for her and a gentleman would know that,� Evita said.

�Leia I have to go,� Han said.

�Han don�t listen to her,� Leia said.

�I have a debt to pay off�but I�ll be back,� Han said.

�You promise,� Leia said.

�If you promise to wait for me,� Han said.

�Han I love you I�ll wait forever,� Leia said.

�I know me to,� Han said.



Leia stood there as Han turned around to walk away, while Evita smiled.  He then turned around and rushed to her side and pressed his lips to hers.  She welcomed him openly and deepened the kiss by opening her mouth and letting his tongue enter.  By the kiss Evita knew that they had kissed like this before and was ashamed of Leia for this display.  They broke apart and he began to walk away.



�Leia this is for the best,� Evita said.

�No it�s not,� Leia said.

�Leia you need to be more proper�this will make people think the rumors true,� Evita said.

�Rumors,� Leia said.

�That you and Han are lovers,� Luke whispered.

�We are�or were,� Leia said.

�He�ll be back he promised,� Luke said.

�I�m really tired,� Leia said.

�I�ll walk you to your room�sister of mine,� Luke said and she looked at him and smiled.

�Okay brother of mine,� Leia said.
