The First Time
By: Han Solo
Chapter 1Surprise
Han Solo, age 10, was walking through the halls of the Trader's Luck, it was his home. It had been his home ever since he could remember. He sighs as he walks towards the infirmary. He had been called there. But for what reason, he really didn't know. He knew that a woman had come on board, and that she had wanted to see him. Why? He didn't know. But something was going to happen to change his life, he knew that much. But he didn't know what it was. He hoped that whatever it was, it wasn't too huge. He had talked to Dewlanna, who knew what was going on. But she didn't tell Han, she told him that it was a surprise and he would have to wait and see. He then stops he hears a loud cry of pain. He shrinks against the wall and edges his way to the door.
Garris Shrike, captain of the Trader's Luck was watching as a woman gave birth. He looked over and saw Han and smiles, "Han, It's so nice you could join us. I have a surprise for you." He then reached through the door and grabbed his arm and pulled him inside, "This is Lilian Anna Solo, she's a Jedi Knight and she is giving birth. She asked me to watch over her child and make sure the empire isn't going to find it. She is not going to make it through the birth." He smiled nastily at the woman, "Mrs. Solo, this is Han Solo, he will be looking after your child." He then looks at Han with a glare in his eyes, that told Han that he would watch over this child or he would suffer the consequences.
Han looked at the woman in surprise, it had only been a few days since the empire had been formed, and now this woman was coming to him for help. This was weird, did she know his father. It seems that this might be his sibling. He looks at Shrike, "Who is this woman? Why would I care if her child survives or not?" He said as he looked at the woman trying to convey that he didn't really intend on putting the child in danger. He looks at the woman who was fading, he could tell by the look on her face. She was not going to make it, and that upset Han. She might be his mother, her last name was Solo, but then he remembered, his mother died, he looks at the woman, "How do you know who I am?" He asked as he flinched when Shrike gave him a glare.
Shrike looks at Han and shakes his head, "She's your step mother, this child is your sister." He smiles at Lily, "Now Mrs. Solo, it is time to push." He then looks at Han, "I wanted you to be here so that you can help me take care of the little brat." He then looks at the woman and gets ready to catch the baby. Shrike was not a gentle person. So when the head started to crown he grabbed it roughly and yanked it out. He then looks up at the woman and could tell that she was dead. He shrugged and handed the baby to a medical droid then turned to Han, "Solo, this is your sister, you are going to take care of her. I know you, you wouldn't let her die, and you're going to be the one in charge of her. Anything that goes wrong I will come after you. We're naming the child Lilian Anna Solo, after her mother. That's what she wanted." He said with a shrug, as if he cared about that.
Han looks at Shrike with shock evident on his face then he turns to look at the child. And immediately he felt so protective of this little baby. And he was going to make sure that nothing was going to happen to her. And that meant keeping her away from Shrike well, that was going to be a challenge, but a challenge he gladly took on. He walks over to her and smiles down at his sister. She was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. He could tell that she was going to be the most beautiful girl in the galaxy. He smiles and reaches over and strokes her cheek, he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that this little girl would be safe. He looks at the droid, who nods at him. He picks up the tiny girl in his arms and holds her close.
Shrike watches in disgust, he had hoped that Han would have denied the child, and then he would be free to put her in the air lock. He didn't want the imperials coming to check out the child. If her mother were a Jedi Knight, then this child would be just like that. Why not take care of it when it was helpless? He looks at Han, "The first time that child makes any trouble what so ever, I'm going to put it in the airlock." He threatened, then he looks at the droid, "Take care of the mother I have other things to do." He then glares at Han and walks out of the room. He knew that Han was going to do his best to protect the child. That was what he was afraid of. But then again it was just another child to terrorize. That was something that could be looked forward to. When she got older, she wouldn't be able to control the force, that means she would use it, and he would punish her for something she didn't even know what she was doing.
Han watches Shrike leave and then looks at the droid, "Is it OK if I take her to my room." The droid just nodded at him as it moved over to the mother. Han smiles and makes his way out of the room. He was going to make sure that Shrike never laid one hand on her little head. This was something precious that he was going to have to protect with all his might. He was so excited about this. He would have someone to talk to now. Well he had Dewlanna, but now he had Lily and that meant that when she got older, she would be able to talk to him as well. He was not going to let anything take her away from him. He shuddered as he thought about what she was going to be like when she got older and interested in boys. Well he wouldn't worry about that right now. He just had to get to Dewlanna and introduce her to Lily.
Dewlanna, Han's wookiee friend and surrogate mother, was standing in the kitchen making sure that the food for tonight was going to be alright. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and growled a greeting to Han. She didn't notice the little bundle in his arms so she just turned back to her cooking. Ever since Han Solo was brought to the ship, she had looked after him, made sure that he was all right. And when Shrike beat him, she was the one that nursed him back to health. She just wanted what was best for him. And she hoped that the force was with him. She looks over her shoulder to growl something else, but froze. She had noticed the bundle. She looked at Han, and then shook her head.
Han looks at Dewlanna and smiles, "Dewlanna, this is my little sister Lilian Anna Solo, but we're going to call her Lily. She was just born a few minutes ago, and now Shrike wants me to take care of her. Can you believe it? I have a little sister." He then looks down at the little bundle in his arms and his heart sank. He looked at the tiny thing in his arms, "I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know if I can take care of her. I mean I don't even know what to feed her." He shook his head, "You might be able to help me." He said, he knew that Dewlanna had a family of her own, and maybe she would be able to help him. He looked down at the little bundle again. "I just hope I can bring her up to be a good person. I don't want her corrupted by Shrike."
Dewlanna smiles a toothy smile and walks over to Han and places a hand on his head. She went to the kitchen again and came out with a bottle of milk and a bottle; she told Han that she had saved this for something like this. She didn't know if Shrike knew of the many romances on this ship, and he wouldn't know if one of them had a baby. She puts the bottle down on the counter and takes the lid off the bottle of milk and pours it into the bottle, and makes her way to Han; she then demonstrated how to feed the little one. She smiles at Han when he feeds the child. He was a natural. This was going to be good for him; he needed someone on this ship. She knew that he had her, but now he had someone he could really talk to. And he would come to her many more times for help on how to raise her.
Han looks up at Dewlanna and smiles at her, "Thanks, I didn't know if I was going to be able to do this." He smiles at her and then finishes feeding her. "Well I should get to our cabin, Shrike would kill her if he knew I was still out. Thanks Dewlanna!" He said as he gave her a one armed hug. He turned around and made his way back to his cabin. He couldn't believe his luck today. He had found family that was the one thing that he wanted most of all. And now that he had Lily, he was going to make sure that nothing happened to her. He laid her down on the bed and laid down next to her and cuddled up to her as he closes his eyes and falls asleep.
