�Stranger listen�that girl over there go enough problems don�t give her any more,� one said.
�I�m an old friend of hers,� Han said.
�You are�what her name and how old is she,� another said.
�Her real name is Leia Skywalker and she 19,� Han said.
Fine�but you hurt he we hurt you�she�s like a sister to me,� one said.
�Who are you,� Han asked.
�I�m Vince and this is Travis,� Vince said.
�Don�t worry I�d never hurt Leia,� Han said.
With that both men left but no after giving him a few more dirty looks. Han started to get an idea of how the people in this bar saw Leia. He started to wonder what it was with her and making a family with people in bars, think of Ali. The days he spent with her and the day he left went through his mind. The first months were so hard for him, sometimes he just wanted to turn back and go to her. But he never did he just went on with his life thinking how her life would be better without him.
She wave to the man in the back he just looked up smiled and waved back. She walked a little slower then usual until she was standing in front of Han and Chewy. Chewy stood up and she gave him a hug and he patted her head and growled a Hell-O.
�It�s good to see you two,� Leia said.
�Are you ready,� Han said.
�Yea,� Leia said starting to walk away.
For the first few moments they walked in silence until Chewy growled a goodbye and left them alone. That�s when they stopped and looked at each other. He noticed she looked a little older then she was, her brown eyes showed some pain, but she smile was still warm. She had noticed his hair was the same, clothing was the same and he was as cutes as he always was. They finally came to a house that was good in size, but still small.
�Han�I want you to met someone,� Leia said.
�There another guy,� Han said.
�In a way yea,� Leia said.
�In a way,� Han said confused.
�Just come in and I�ll introduce you,� Leia said.
�Leia your home�Anakin is�� Sheri said seeing Han.
�Sheri this is Han Solo�Han this is my good friend Sheri,� Leia said.
�So you�re Han,� Sheri said.
�Yes�it�s nice to meet you,� Han said.
�Does he know about,� Sheri said pointing to a small room behind her.
�No that�s why I brought him here,� Leia said.
�Well Mr. Solo good luck,� Sheri said.
�Excuse me,� Han said.
Sheri picked up her jacket and left letting the door slam shut. Leia closed her eyes counted to three and then he heard a cry. It was loud and sounded like a child�s. Han look went from confused to surprise as he listen to cry, noticing that leia was expecting it.
�What is that,� Han said.
�That the other man in my life�stay here,� Leia said.
Leia walked into the dark room and turned on the light. She bent down and picked up the one year old, his face was dirty and wet from his tears. She picked him up and started to calm down somewhat. She kissed his forehead and wiped his tears and began her way back to the main room where Han was standing. Once she came out with the toddler in her arms Han look from confused to pure shock.
�Han I�d like to met our son�Anakin Skywalker,� Leia said.
�Our�son,� Han said shocked.
�Yes�the day you left I found out I was pregnant, but I didn�t want to tell you,� Leia said.
�Why,� Han said.
�Because I knew that would be your only reason of staying with me�I was given a choice by my parents,� Leia said.
�What choice,� Han asked.
�I even go away for a year and give up the child or keep the child and never return. I chose to keep Anakin�it was my child�I could feel him inside me and they expected me to give him up like�like he was nothing,� Leia said tear filling her eyes.
�Leia I never wanted to leave you�I thought I had to�we both knew it couldn�t work out,� Han said whispered.
�Han I Loved you�I still do�I never wanted you to leave. Besides Ali you were the only other person who knew the real me,� Leia said as she put Anakin on the floor next to his toys.
�I know that now�but I thought if I left it wouldn�t hurt as much,� Han said.
�Did it work,� Leia said.
�Nope�I�ve never kissed another girl since that day two years ago,� Han said.
�I�ve never let anyone that close to me,� Leia said.
Leia I�m sorry�you said that may we�d met again�we have maybe we should take advantage of it,� Han said wiping the tears from her eyes.
Would you like to hold your son,� Leia asked as she picked him up.
�Sure,� Han said as Leia handed Anakin to him.
Not that far away a boy the same age as Leia could feel a pull towards the town she was in. He had no idea why this town was so important to finding his sister, but if Ben sent him here I must be. It was that day that he met a girl about a few years younger than himself. Her eyes were an emerald green and her hair was a red-gold. She had on a black knee length skirt with a blue short sleeve shirt, along with a belt.
�I�m sorry Miss,� Luke said.
�It�s ok,� Mara said.
�Luke Skywalker,� Luke said holding out his hand.
�Mara Jade,� Mara said.
�So Mara what are you doing here,� Luke asked.
�Don�t know�why are you,� Mara asked.
�I�m looking for my sister�Leia,� Luke said.
�Isn�t she with you,� Mara asked.
�No�we were separated at birth,� Luke said.
�Could you use a guide�it looks like you don�t know where�re going,� Mara said.
�I guess I am a little lost,� Luke said.
�So Skywalker where you from,� Mara said as they began to walk.
�Tatooine,� Luke said.
�So you�re a farmer,� Mara said.
�I was raised on a farm with my Uncle and Aunt,� Luke said as he got into her ship.
�Yea well my parents died a few months ago and left me this ship�my dad called it Jade�s Fire,� Mara said.
�I like it�I had to sell my speeder and my aunt gave me some money so I could leave,� Luke said.
�She must really love you�you can be my co-pilot,� Mara said.
�OK,� Luke said.
It had been one month since Luke and Mara had begun their journey to find his sister Leia. He had no luck of finding any clues to where she was. They choose to land on a planet know for it smuggler and gambling. Luke had proved he could take of himself, but he still attracted trouble.
They walked into the bar and there stood Leia. Luke looked at her like he knew her, but he didn�t or at least he didn�t think so. Leia walked up to him and smiled as Mara told her what they wanted. Leia gave her another smile and walked away. Leia knew the girl was about the same age as she was when she started working there. Then she looked at the boy she felt as if she knew him, but couldn�t place.
�Here you go�where your friend,� Leia said.
�He went to get something. Thanks Miss�� Mara said.
�Leia�Leia Skywalker,� Leia said as his eyes widen.
�Leia do you have a twin brother,� Mara asked.
�No my twin brother died at our birth�why,� Leia asked sadly.
�No he didn�t�my friends name is Luke Skywalker�he�s looking for his twin sister Leia Skywalker,� Mara said.
�Why would they lie to me,� Leia said softly.
�Who,� Mara said.
�It�s a long story�but that why it feels as if I know him,� Leia said.
�Your adopted parents never told you�same with Luke it came from a man who knew your parents,� Mara said.
I wish I could asked them,� Leia said.
�You can�can you take a few days off,� Mara said.
�Trust me I can all the time I want off�I�ve worked almost everyday since my son was born,� Leia said.
�Then do it�please Luke has a right to know,� Mara said.
�What�s your name,� Leia said.
Mara Jade�wait you have a son,� Mara said.
Leia went up to the bartender who nodded and patted her on the back. Leia took of her apron and put her tips in her pocket. Then she and Mara started to walk out as they ran into Luke. Mara grabbed his hand and he started to walk with them.
�Luke this is your sister�we going to her place,� Mara said.
�Ok,� Luke said.
In a few moments they were in front of Leia�s house were a man and a toddler were playing in the front yard. Leia stopped and smiled as she watched them. He then made her presents known and Han picked up Anakin and walked over to her.
�Luke�Mara this is my boyfriend, Han Solo and our son, Anakin,� Leia said.
�Hi,� Luke said.
�Hell-O,� Han said.
�Han�this is my twin brother and his friend Mara Jade,� Leia said.
�I thought your brother died at birth,� Han said.
�So did I�he didn�t even know I existed,� Leia said.
Luke spent the next few days getting to know the sister he never knew he had. Mara chose to go a little sooner then Luke wanted her to and she to didn�t want to go but thought it was best for both of them. She walked to her ship expecting to leave with out any complaint but then she saw Luke and knew that was not going to happen and stood in front of him.
�Leia going back to her parents and I�m going with her�so is Han and Anakin,� Luke said,
�That nice�I don�t want to say good bye,� Mara said.
�Then don�t�come with me,� Luke said.
�Luke you know I can�t�it�s your family,� Mara said.
�Please�I really want you there,� Luke said.
�Luke,� Mara said.
�Fine if you can say goodbye by looking me in the eye then leave if not come with,� Luke said.
�Luke that not fair,� Mara said.
�Sure it is�so do it,� Luke said.
�When do we leave,� Mara said.
Luke just smiles at her and gave her a hug and she hugged him back and just let her head rest on his shoulder as he tighten there embrace. Mara finally pulled a way gently and looked him in the eyes, his blue that made it seem like he could see her soul. Maybe in some ways he could, he was unlike any person she had ever and that in it�s own way scared her more then she could imagine. Here was a farmboy Tatooine scaring her and not even knowing it and maybe she scared him too only time would tell.
�Mara I�m so happy you are coming along�it will be nice if Luke knows someone on this trip,� Leia said.
�Thanks�are you sure you want to come,� Mara said.
�Yes�May I asked you a personal question,� Leia asked.
�We�re just friends,� Mara said.
�I think it more than mere friendship�listen maybe you two need to talk about because anyone with eyes can see what you two have even if you can�t,� Leia asked.
�Would you want me with you brother,� Mara asked.
�Yes�Mara I like you as a friend and once I become someone�s friend I trust them no matter what,� Leia said.
�Fine I�ll talk to him�see how he sees me,� Mara said.
Mara found Luke on her ship fixing the hyper drive that blew out the day before and for the first time she really looked at him from the point of view she had always seen him. He was very handsome, his blond hair, ice blue eyes, and tan skin were kind of hard to miss. Then came his kindness, courage, his lack of patience and his sometime recklessness. But for some strange reason she like him no matter what stupid thing he did or wanted to do. He seemed to notice she was there and looked up and gave her a slight smile and then went back to work.
�Done,� Luke said as he got up and stood in front of her.
�Luke how do you see me,� Mara asked.
�Well you�re a good friend, a great pilot and�� Luke said but Mara stopped him.
�No�I mean friendship wise�am I just a friend or more,� Mara said not meeting his gaze.
�Well�um�I know we I�ve known each other for a short time but I value our friendship,� Luke said.
�Friendship�that what I thought�Leia had this weird idea that I meant more you, but I told her I didn�t,� Mara said.
�What about you�how do you feel about me,� Luke said.
�I care for you�truth is maybe a little that you care for me,� Mara said.
�Mara I do care for you in a not so best friend way�I thought you didn�t think of me that way,� Luke said.
�Luke�I�m going to kiss you now you have until I count to three to move,� Mara said.
Mara closed the distance between them and kissed him hard and passionate. Her arms going around his neck pulling him closer to her while his arms went around her waist doing the same thing. Pushing her against the wall he started to pull her shirt from her pants. Both giving into the passion, desire and need they both were feeling for each other. They only hoped the other wouldn�t think it was a mistake and want to forget about it.
