Growing Up: Things To Come
Leia sat in her bed not believing it had almost been two months since she said goodbye to Han that very cold night.  Luke had taken her back to her quarters and when she entered Han was there.  They spend one more night together before he left.  She smiled as he left not wanting him to remember her crying but smiling.  Aunt Evita said it was for the best they were too different but she did believe that.  Luke had begun to teach her all he knew about that force which was the basics.  But somehow they became able to communicate from far distance through the force.



*Leia I�ll meet you for lunch, Luke sent*

*Meet you there brother, Leia sent*



Leia got out of bed suddenly feeling dizzy and she knew why, since Han left she did almost nothing but work.  Luke would come in and sense it and make her go to bed.  He said that working 12 hours of working on top spending time with him was not good.  She needed to rest, and no just for three or four hours.  He�d noticed the bags under her eyes, her paleness face with flushed cheeks give her the lecture again. 



�Leia are you feeling ok,� Luke asked.

�Fine why,� Leia said.

�Fine you look like you haven�t slept in weeks,� Luke said.

�I haven�t been able to sleep that well with the new reports coming in,� Leia said.

�Sleep I don�t need to lose you too,� Luke said.

�I will�I get a few extra hours tonight,� Leia said with a smile.



For the rebellion they had been ahead the last few days with their secret sources out there, but the empire was getting tougher to beat.  Luke knew that if the Falcon was there supplies would get there faster, and no disagreed with him, except Evita Organa.  It didn�t surprise Luke to find out she never married or had children. 



�So Luke who the lucky lady of the month,� Wedge asked with a smile.

�If you must know I�ve been to busy to meet anyone,� Luke said.

�Sucks being the leader,� Wedge said.

�Wedge remember we leave in two days for a mission,� Luke said getting into leader mode.

�Yes Sir,� Wedge said saluted and left the mess hall while Luke just laughed.



�Leia I just don�t think it�s healthy spending all you time with him,� Evita said.

�Luke is my brother and nothing you can do will change that,� Leia said.

�Leia Organa I am still your aunt so watch you tone,� Evita said. 

�Listen I am really tired so could you just leave me alone,� Leia said.

�Fine I�ll see you later�get some sleep you don�t look like a princess,� Evita said leaving a very mad Leia. 



Leia just wanted to hit her, sometimes she wished she wasn�t an Organa then she remembered her parents.  She got up when she knew that Evita was out of sight and Luke would be on scouting duty so she could go and do some extra work.  She was kind of glad that he left the next day this way she didn�t have to work behind his back.  She went to a small room where there were a few people and started to go over some reports.  When she got up to get another one, when a dizzy spell hit her but instead of getting better Leia�s world went back.



�Is she ok,� Luke asked entering the medlab.

�Yes her condition is only temporary,� The Doctor said.

�How temporary�when will I be better,� Leia asked.

�In 6 to 7 months�Princess Leia your pregnant,� he said. 

�Oh my god,� Evita said.

�P�p�pregnant,� Leia said.

�Yes and I�d say you conceived about 2 months ago so that means you have 6 to 7 months before the birth,� he said.

�What about her place in the rebellion,� Evita said.

�She can still keep it�just you can�t do anything field work until after the baby is born,� he said as he left.

�I�m going to take Captain Solo is the father,� Evita said.

�Yes,� Leia said and Evita left.



Leia dropped her head and tears filled her eyes as some dropped on the bed.  She was going to have a baby, in the middle of a wars being fought, and if that was bad enough she was only 20 years old and the father had no idea about this and she had no idea where he was.  She knew that Luke was still there and looked up to see him smile.



�If I�m right you�re having twins,� Luke said.

�Oh Luke what do I do,� Leia said.

�One you start eating right, two you start to sleep more, and three you leave finding Han to me and be happy about this it�s miracle of life,� Luke said.

�You�ll find him,� Leia said.

�You bet�how hard can it be,� Luke said kissing her forehead.

�I love you brother of mine,� Leia said.

�I love you sister of mine,� Luke said.



�Evita why don�t you leave Leia alone,� Luke said.

�Why she shouldn�t keep this thing,� Evita said.

�Listen I have taken just enough about of you.   When I come back I want to find Leia healthy and her children just as healthy�yes she going to have twins,� Luke said.

�Twins just like her mother�and who are you to make the decision if she keep them or not,� Evita said.

�Her twin brother so when I come back she better not complains about you once,� Luke said walking off.

�He has his father�s anger and she had her mother loyalty both will kill them in the end,� Evita said in a whisper.



Luke began to get ready for this mission the next day and he had to hear rumor after rumor about his sister.  He of course nearly hit two of the guys but Wedge stopped him and they went to the other room.  Luke silently thanked him and Wedge nodded and they started to get ready.



�How do you know that Solo is here,� Wedge said looking around the bar.

�It was a need to know basis General Rieekan myself and a few other commanding officers and leaders except Leia knew about this.  Han was assigned here to watch for imperial activity,� Luke said. 

�He�s our one of our special sources,� Wedge said.

�Yep he fully joined the Rebellion with the rank of general,� Luke said. 

�So the story he told Leia was a lie,� Wedge said.

�Yes Leia couldn�t know because their personal relationship,� Luke said.

�Does Evita know,� Wedge said.

�General Rieekan didn�t tell Evita by my request,� Luke said.



Wedge started to look around the bar was practically empty except a few drunks.  There was a casino but hardly anyone was there either.  Wedge couldn�t believe everything he had been told today, not only was Princess Leia pregnant with Han Solo child, but Han Solo was a general and with the rebellion for good.  Unknowing to the rest of the rebellion General Rieekan had helped pay off his debt and he joined. 



�So is it always this empty,� Wedge asked.

�Not at night,� Han said.

�General Solo,� Wedge said.

�I have nothing new except they getting close to Hoth,� Han said sitting down.

�Ok�Han um it�s Leia,� Luke said.

�What�s wrong is she sick,� Han asked and Luke looked at Wedge.

�No�she�s�she fainted yesterday and the doctor said she was�um,� Wedge said.

�What wrong with her,� Han said turning his attention to Luke.

�She�s pregnant,� Luke said.

�Is she ok�is the baby ok,� Han said.

�All three of them are find�I could feel that it was twins through our force bond,� Luke said.

�Great and she doesn�t know where I am,� Han said.

�General Rieekan has given me an order to bring you back�Leia is really weak,� Luke said.

�He assigned another man,� Han said.

�Yes a new rebel joined he thinks it�ll be easier for her to find information,� Luke said with a smile.

�Ok lets go,� Han said.



On the base Leia had put her hand on her stomach and she could feel the presence of the two babies growing inside her stomach.  It was like nothing she had ever felt before and she could feel a tiny smile creep across her lips.  She knew Luke would find Han and they would be back soon.  But would Han be ok with this or would he just run off.  Her heart told her he wouldn�t she knew he loved her too much to do that.  She closed her eyes and fell back on her bed and she let sleep claim her.



�Leia wake up,� a female voice said.

�Do I know you,� Leia asked.

�You should,� the voice said.

�Mother,� Leia said.

�Yes�I�m Padme Skywalker,� Padme said. 

�Why are you here and how are you here,� Leia asked.

�The force brought me here to help you,� Padme said.

�Help me why,� Leia said.

�Soon you will find out things that aren�t good but you must learned from them,� Padme said.

�Will it hurt my babies,� Leia asked.

�No�you are force strong you must use that gift and never give in to the dark side,� Padme said.

�I won�t Mother�anything else,� Leia said.

�Remember that I and your father Anakin love you both more then anything,� Padme said.

�I know I�ve always known,� Leia said.

�Tell Luke that I love him and if I could change it I would have kept him,� Padme said.

�He knows,� Leia said and they hugged.

The force will be with you all�always remember that,� Padme whispered in her ear



Leia eyes fluttered open and she smiled it wasn�t until she looked down at the clock that she sat up.  She had been a sleep for 10 hours.  For the first time in weeks she felt strong, she looked at herself she still looked pale but not as much and she was very hungry.  She stood up and began to get dress and started her way towards the mess hall.



�Come on,� Han said.

�Give them a few minutes,� Luke said.  

�Han she in the mess hall,� Wedge said.



�Leia,� Han said rushing over to her.

�Han,� Leia said in almost whisper.



Leia put her tray down on the table and meet him in the middle.  When they meet in the middle he picked her up and spun her around.  When her feet landed back on the ground his lips found hers in a passionate embrace.  Luke and Wedge were the first ones to clap followed by a few other with some shouting.  It was clear that not one person in the place disagreed with their relationship.   Holding hands they made their way out of then mess hall towards her quarters.



�Where have you been, how did Luke find you, did you pay off Jabba,� Leia asked.  

�I have been on a mission for the rebellion, Luke always knew where I was and yes I did pay him off,� Han said.

�Mission what mission,� Leia asked

�The day we got here I was told�General Rieekan pay my debt off and I became an official member of the alliance.  I was assigned to watch a planet where imperials where known to come,� Han said.

�Why was Luke told and not me,� Leia said.

�Because of our personal relationship,� Han said.

�Then why are you here,� Leia said confused.

�A woman took my place�she�s new in the alliance so it will be easier for her to get information,� Han said.

�So you�re a leader in the rebellion then,� Leia asked.

�Yep with the respectable rank of General,� Han said.

�Wow Aunt Evita must be having a fit,� Leia said.

�Leia how are you�Luke told me,� Han said. 

�Fine,� Leia said.

�Leia this is me,� Han said.

�Fine I�ll prove it�get up for a moment,� Leia said.



Han Stood up and watched as Leia got in front of him.  She closed her eyes and for a moment he thought she was going to kiss him but she didn�t.  Instead she opened her eyes and cupped his face with her hand and closed her eyes again.  Then a jolt of energy went through him as he close his eyes and he felt what she felt thought the force.  Two tiny being grow inside her.  It was like nothing he had ever felt before or would be feel again.  After a few minutes she slowly let go of Han and he just looked in to her honey brown eyes.  



�Leia I was going to ask this when we first arrived here but the mission came up,� Han said.

�What,� Leia said.

�Will you marry me,� Han asked.

�Are you sure you want to ask this,� Leia said.

�Leia you just showed me something I will never forget and I love you more then anyone and thing,� Han said.

�Even the Falcon,� Leia said with a coy smile.

�Well�yes even more then the Falcon,� Han said.

�Then yes I will,� Leia said.



It was all around the base that Han and Leia were getting married.  Leia and Evita had a very large fight and Evita left and Leia was sad but knew it was for the best.  They were married a week later and some months later Leia gave birth to Jacen and Jaina Solo.  The empire found out about the base and went after them, but they got away.  Luke trained with Yoda while Han, Leia, the twins and Chewie found safety on The Cloud City.  It wasn�t soon later that they had to leave that too.  After some time of running the twins were a year old and Luke had return for the fifth time with many truths for Leia.



�Are you sure,� Leia said.  

�Yes,� Luke said.

�And you have to face our father,� Leia asked.

�Yes and when I return I will finish your training,� Luke said.

�Han, Chewie, Threepio, Artoo and I have a mission on Endor,� Leia said.

�I know may the force be with you all�and don�t kill my droid,� Luke said.



Luke watched from his place as Leia and Han hugged as they celebrated the destruction of the empire.  It hadn�t been that long since he and Leia watch their father burn on the pyre.  In a day the twins would be back in their parents arms and he couldn�t help but be happy for them.  But he had a feeling that his journey was just beginning for them all that they were still many things they had to do.



�Luke come on,� Han yelled. 

�So what is the big news,� Luke asked.

�I�m pregnant again,� Leia said.

�That�s great,� Luke said.

�I wonder what this one will be,� Han said.

�It�s another boy,� Luke said.

�And his name will be Anakin after our father,� Leia said.



Through the years that Leia and Han were friends that fought over everything, then they became loves where they were separated.  Then they were brought back together fate in a time of great pain.  After one year of marriage they defeated their greatest enemy and found true happiness and love within.  They grew up in a way that not all of us can grow up in they grew up in the way of love.
