Author Notes: Ok I have tried to write three other Star Wars stories, but none of them seem to be good.  This is my first Star Wars story that I have posted on the net. I hope you like it, if you read any of my other stuff you know two things about me.  I like romance and AU stories along with time travel stuff.

Life Choices: Prologue
Leia Skywalker was 19 years old and lived on a small planet in the middle of no were.  She was also a single mother of a toddler, Anakin Skywalker.  She had just woken up not that long ago to find her one year old son still asleep, so she decided to get ready for work.  There was not a lot a 19 year old could do, and that she was 17 when she moved there made it even worse.  So she took a job as a waitress at one the local bar.  The owner was kind to her, even gave her time off when it came close to her to give birth and the first four weeks after the birth.  After two years she knew that place like her own home and people knew that.  The main problem of the bar was, it was the criminal favorite place to go.  Leia heard her front door being open and knew who it was, her best friend, Sheri Jameson.   



�Leia,� Sheri said.

�What�s up Sheri,� Leia said.

�You work to day,� Sheri asked.

�Yes�I actually have to be going,� Leia said.

�OK I�ll be late dropping him off tonight,� Sheri said.

�Ok see you then�bye sweetie,� Leia said after giving her son a kiss she was gone.



Leia was dressed in her usual black pants and dark brown boots.  She hand on her tight yet clingy black sleeveless shirt, and her belt around her waist, where her blaster hung.  Her hair was pinned up in braids around her head, and while she wore a simple silver chain with a small charm.  She walked in and smiled at the usual costumers and began to survey the place to know what kind of day of would be.



Her shift was almost over and she was glad.  Today had brought in more smugglers then anything and that meant more fights.  In the back Han Solo was sitting with his copilot and best friend Chewy.  It would be a few days until he left, but that still didn�t make it any less stressful.  It wasn�t until he looked up and saw the young face of his ex-lover that he became shocked.  It still hurt him that he had to leave her, even though she never told that he knew he had to.  Her clothing was about the same, but not as bright in color as the last time he saw her.  Her face had age some, not that much but some.  She now wore a weapon at her side, but her hair and smile were the same.  The day was almost gone and he could see she was tired.  He got up and started to walk towards her, he had to know why Princess Leia Organa was here.



�Leia,� Han said shaky.

�Han�Solo,� Leia said surprised.

�Yep it�s me�what are you doing here,� Han asked.    

�I work here,� Leia said coldly.

�Since when,� Han asked.

�For almost two years,� Leia said.

�About the time I left,� Han said.

�About two week after you left,� Leia said looking away.

�Maybe I can see you again,� Han said.

�I get off in ten minutes,� Leia said.

�Great,� Han said smiling.



Han had turned around and went back to his seat and memories had come back to her.  The day she met Han, the day they became lovers, the day she found out she was pregnant, and the day she left home.  It all had stated with meeting one man who was about 9 years older then she was.  Han Solo had changed her life he�d given her a life she always wanted and a son she loved.  The only bad thing about this was he didn�t know about Anakin or about her parents disowning her.  But now she would have to tell him the whole truth and now she would change his life.  The only funny thing is that her life had changed in a short period of time.  It had all began shortly after her 17th birthday, one day to exact.
