DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS. GEORGE LUCAS DOES.
Tattooine:
Three year Old Luke Skywalker walked with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru through the streets of Mos Eisley. He was happy to have been able to go into the city to him it was enjoyable because it meant riding in the speeder. Luke loved the speeder and only wished his Uncle would drive faster.
Luke looked up at his aunt and uncle unhappily, He heard them fighting. He didn't like to watch his aunt and uncle fight. "Owen I don't think we should have come today I heard there are some dangerous men here today," he heard Aunt Beru say. \
Uncle Owen shook his head, "There are always dangerous men in Mos Eisley. I have a blaster in my hand you and Luke will be safe," he heard Uncle Owen say in response.
Luke then saw Aunt Beru nod as she looked down at him, "Luke Skywalker you listen to me you stay with us at all times do you understand?" Luke nodded as he headed with his Guardians to a nearby shop.
As they approached the shop several thugs pulled their blasters on them. Luke trembled, "Give me your money." Owen shook his head and pulled out his blaster only to be shot dead in the back.
Luke at the same time heard his Aunt scream as several bad men grabbed her. "Run Luke!" Luke ran only to feel a strong arm grab him, "We killed your parents boy and took what little money they had. Now you will fetch a good price on the next planet we stop at." Luke trembled as he saw his Aunt and Uncle laying on the ground without moving. The next thing he knew he was carried onto a Starship and taken off planet. He trembled in fear. He was placed in chains and taken to a dark room and locked away.
Bespin: Six Days Later:
Sola Naberrie Janren walked down the streets of Bespin, a mining colony that she and her husband Darred had arrived at due to a job offer from his company in designing a building. She was killing time while her husband was in a work meeting. She was walking in a downtown part of the city letting her adventurous spirit influence her. Just then she saw a Man approach her, "Ma'am I wouldn't advise walking down here alone unless your armed." Sola simply smirked at the man, thinking of what her late sister would have done in this situation.
"I am," said Sola simply as she walked on. Despite the fact that she was wearing a beautiful Nabuian Gown she had a Blaster concealed on her. She continued walking as she approached an area where she saw several children in a chained line being marched into a building. She gasped in horror realizing she was approaching a slave market. She thought of stories her beloved little sister Padme had told her about the slave trade. How she missed Padme. She had never gotten over her death after three years. She loved Padme so much and wished she would have had her sister and niece or nephew still alive with her.
Padme had seen slavery first hand on Tattooine where she had first met Anakin Skywalker another good man that was dead. She frowned thinking of him, Such a nice young man and already dead at the age of twenty two and Padme dead at twenty seven so young and dead so young. She frowned as she walked into the Slave Market. She saw several young boys of around three or four being marched into a stand where they would be viewed like livestock. She was about to turn to leave when something caught her eye, A bright blond haired boy clad in chains and in tears of fear. She looked at the boy with his wavy blond hair and sun tanned skin and blue eyes. His eyes reminded her of Anakin Skywalker. She approached the boy and spoke, "What is your name?"
"L-Luke," said the boy in horror. Sola frowned, an innocent child condemned to a life of abuse. Not if she had anything to say about it.
Sola cringed as the Seller approached her, She loved this boy at first sight She had never had a brother nor a son. Having a brother and a son she had always wanted both of. Even though Darred didn't admit it she knew that he wanted a boy too even though he loved their daughters. She looked at the boy a second time, she wanted this boy. She wanted to take him home and give him love and happiness she wanted a son and she would take this little boy as her own. She looked at the seller in disgust, "How much do you want for this cute little boy?"
"Two thousand and he's yours. Once you break him over the years he will serve you well. They are better when you start them young."
Sola cringed in disgust, "Very well I'll take him."
"Ok an extra five hundred for the transmitter though and the procedure. That way he won't run from you ever."
Sola shook her head in disgust she no longer could bite her tongue, "My son will have no such barbaric act committed against him! He is my son not my slave and he will love me so much when I am through with him that he won't leave my home until he is twenty five!" Sola screamed in rage. The seller backed up a few steps in shock at Sola's outburst and nodded and took the money and released the chains on Luke. Sola took a look at the boy that was now her son and then back at the man whom handed her some paperwork that she swiftly took. She took the bill of sale for her new son in disgust and left the Slave Market carrying her son in her arms.
Luke watched as the nice lady that was carrying him kissed his cheek. He had remembered the bad men telling him he was a slave now. A word he had never heard. It meant that he belonged to someone. All words he didn't understand, didn't his toys at home belong to him? Was that what he was like now? A Toy? He watched as the nice lady looked down at him.
Sola looked at the boy and spoke, "You are safe now Luke."
"Aren't I something else now?"
"What do you mean?"
"The bad men t-that used g-guns on my aunt and uncle they told me that I was a s-slave now and they were dead and no one was going to save me or love me ever again."
Sola shook her head in disgust, "No Luke you aren't a slave now. Do you have a mommy?" asked Sola hoping that the answer was no.
"Just my Aunt and Uncle but the bad men shot them and they weren't moving." Sola cringed at the thought of what this boy had seen at his young age. "Well Luke I love you and I care about you and I am your new mommy. Do you understand?" Luke looked at her as she kissed him a second time, " I-I never had a mommy." Sola nodded, "You will live with me now." She smiled as the boy fell asleep in her arms .
A short time later she waved down an air taxi and she took an the Taxi to her hotel. She would have to explain all of this to Darred but she knew he would be reasonable. Though Darred had never complained or wined. Little did she know the boy she had bought was in fact her nephew, Padme's child.
After paying the Taxi Sola carried Luke with her into her Hotel Room and into the refresher. She stripped off his clothes and gave him a bath determined not to have a single trace of his experience in the slave trade left on him.
After bathing him she looked at him noticing he was tired. She took him and placed him in her bed after kissing his cheek for what she guessed was the thirtieth time. But she couldn't stop. This boy was all her's now. He was her son. What was more, she loved him like her own children. She smiled and sat down to watch him sleep. She felt so much love flowing through her and so much happiness. She hadn't been so happy since when Padme was alive. Now here she was with this little orphan that was now her son. She didn't care who gave birth to him or who his parents were. Or even if he was the product of Rape or of a one night stand. Little Luke was her son and how she loved the little blond boy. She smiled, Maybe Luke would even help her parents. They had never been the same since Padme's death neither. Perhaps this boy would heal her heartbroken family and in return they would heal him and give him the love and happiness that he deserved.
Tattooine:
Obi-Wan Kenobi Headed Into Mos Eisley shortly after the Funeral For Owen and Beru Lars. The first place he went was the Cantina. He knew he would find out what he wanted to know easily by listening to all of the scum and villains talk and banter. He had just been given a large sum of money from Senator Organa to begin the investigation on Luke's whereabouts and he planned to not waste a single minute.. As he sat down in the Cantina he heard something that caught his ears,
"I will tell you what Greyo messed up big. He probably made no money off of selling that boy. I know his parents had like no money on them." Obi-Wan boldly stood up and headed for the man, A Bothan that appeared to be ruff around the edges and scoundrel like. He sat down at the table and spoke, "Do you know where this Greyo went?"
The Bothan frowned, "Who's asking?"
"You're a pilot right?" The man nodded, "If you tell me where he went I may have some work for you."
"He headed for Bespin and planned to sell the kid in the Slave Market there." Obi-Wan felt rage inside of him.
Obi-Wan used the force and calmed himself and looked at the Bothan and spoke, "I will give you ten thousand to take me to Bespin to find Greyo."
The Bothan nodded, "You've got yourself a ship, Docking bay twenty four. My name is Orn Tey," he stated offering out his hand. Obi-Wan took his hand and spoke, "Ben." Orn nodded, "When do you wish to leave?"
"How soon can we?"
"Right now if you would like." Obi-Wan nodded and the pair stood up and headed for the ship, Obi-Wan observed the ship, A simple freighter the man was most likely a smuggler but probably worked hard at what he did. Most Bothans honored contracts and deals. He knew that first hand and another thing was they didn't like the Empire that much. He boarded the ship with Orn Tey and headed for Bespin.
Bespin:
Darred Janren walked inside of his hotel room after a long grueling business meeting to see his Wife sitting by the bed watching a tiny blond haired boy sleep.
"What is this about?" He asked Calmly. Sola frowned and spoke, "I went into a scuzzy part of the City and ended up by the Slave Market."
Darred looked at his wife in shock and disgust, "The Slave Market?"
Sola nodded, "I was about to leave when this boy caught my eye. I decided to buy him I've always wanted a boy now we will have a son. I am sorry I didn't ask you but I couldn't let him out of my sight. Can we keep him please?" Darred looked at the sleeping boy and then into the eyes of his pleading wife and spoke, "Any family of his to speak of?"
"From what he told me he has no parents he was with his aunt and uncle and from what the poor baby said they were killed in front of him."
Darred nodded, "Ryoo and Pooja will be thrilled." Sola nodded, Darred then noticed her pull out some filthy clothes. "Would you please go to one of the shops for some better clothes? I think it is best that he sees me when he awakes." Darred nodded, "I am gonna get him a toy too." Sola nodded as Darred left.
Darred swiftly headed to a store clothing store and picked out a new set of shoes and a shirt and a pair of pants along with several other outfits. He smiled, He had always secretly wanted a son and having this little boy would be fine with him. He saw a simple stuffed Bantha and threw it in with his order along with a toy starfighter. He then took the belongings and headed back to his Hotel after booking passage back to Naboo.
Sola watched as her new son awoke, She knelt over him and hugged him, "Hello Luke."
"Hello, Y-Your my mommy now right." Sola nodded with a smile. "Y-you aren't going to go away are you or stop moving like my Aunt and Uncle?" Sola shook her head as she felt her eyes water as the door opened revealing Darred with a bag.
Sola looked at Luke and smiled, "Luke this is your new Daddy."
Luke looked at the mid sized dark haired man and smiled, "I-I always wanted a daddy. My uncle Owen was nice to me but he was my Uncle not my Daddy."
Darred smiled, "Well Luke I always wanted a son and now I have you." Darred then handed the bag to Sola and she swiftly helped her son dress. Darred then looked at her with a smile, "We have Passage to Naboo and are leaving in a few hours."
Sola nodded, "And when we arrive will you get us a lawyer for the adoption?"
"Yes but first we will have to take him to Ella at the Med Center she has examined all of our children and will have Luke now. She will do DNA to see what background he has and all," stated Darred.
"I think he is fully human but even if he isn't I still love him as my own."
"Me too Sola," said Darred with a smile seeing why his wife had fallen in love with this boy so fast. He was beginning to feel attached himself even though he had barely been with him. He and Sola in the time before Padme's death had talked of adopting a war orphan but Padme's death had put a huge damper on things. It had demoralized Sola. He smiled at Sola and Luke, Perhaps having this little boy would help heal this family.
The Next Day Obi-Wan and Orn Tey arrived on Bespin. Obi-Wan frowned, He couldn't sense Luke in Could City at all. He looked at Orn Tey, "Do you know where we can find Dreyo?" Orn Tey nodded, "He will be in the pubs."
"What species is he?"
"A Rodian with a scar on his left eye."
Obi-Wan nodded, "I want you to wait with the ship. I will return after I have the boy or knowledge on his whereabouts." Orn nodded, as Obi-Wan left. Obi-Wan reached inside of his cloak feeling his Lightsabers he had Anakin's Lightsaber along with his own. He only hoped he would be able to give the lightsaber to Luke as he had planned. He entered a Cantina and saw a Rodian with a scar on his eye alone. He approached him and spoke, "There was a boy that you kidnapped from Tattooine. I want to know what became of him."
"I know nothing," said the Rodian.
"Tell me what you know now!" The Rodian angrily pulled out a blaster only to see a blue lightsaber blade saw it in half.
"Y-Your A-A J-Jedi."
Obi-Wan nodded, "I am not in the mood for anything so tell me what happened to him."
"I sold him."
"You sold him?" he asked in anger.
"To the slave Market down in downtown a few days ago. He still hasn't sold at least he hadn't yesterday."
Obi-Wan nodded in anger and pointed the tip of his lightsaber at Greyo's throat allowing it to burn his neck. "If I find out that anything has been done to that boy. Or that he has been put through hell you will never see the light of day on any system and after I am through with you my face will be the last thing you see you see. And don't try to run Greyo I will hunt you to the ends of the Galaxy!" stated Obi-Wan in rage. Greyo trembled in horror as the Jedi Master left him.
Obi-Wan proceeded to the lower levels of the City and entered the Slave Market to find a rough looking man that he guessed to be the seller.
"What can I do for you?"
"A young boy of about three was sold to you by a Rodian. What became of him?"
"Why should I tell you?" asked the man.
Obi-Wan frowned as he realized that he had done enough by flashing his lightsaber at Greyo had no desire to flaunt himself as a Jedi Knight a second time. He revealed a Valid credit chip to the slimy man, "Because you are going to make a little extra money you slaver scum!"
The man nodded, "Come check my records." Obi-Wan nodded, and watched the slimy man look through his data files on the desk. He then turned to Obi-Wan, "Ah yes how can I forget? The women that bought him really made a scene."
"What do you mean?" asked Obi-Wan. "I told her that I would give her to him for a thousand and that a Transmitter was an extra five hundred to instal in his body to insure he wouldn't run in the future and she lashed out at me by saying her new son would be so loved he would be living with her when he was an adult."
Obi-Wan stroked his beard yet feeling relief. He sensed truth from the man and thanked the Force a loving women had bought Luke. Most Likely she was just lovesick and wanted to have a child and chose him. He looked at the Man and spoke, "Do you have any ID on her?" The slaver shook his head, "No not at all no rules here it ain't the Empire." Obi-Wan nodded, "Anything you can think of?"
The man thought for a moment, "She was a rich outlander and her Gown looked Nabuian I think she was Nabuian."
Obi-Wan nodded, "How do you low life scum know what Nabuians look like?"
"Because of that dammed Senator Amidala that screwed my brother over many years ago. He went to prison because she wouldn't take a bribe in regards to his dealings. I know a Nabuian because of that and I wish I had the pleasure of killing her."
Obi-Wan breathed in deep and restrained himself from lashing out at the man once again, "Well thank you for your help." He then turned without a word and headed for Orn Tey.
He arrived at Orn Tey's ship and Orn Tey spoke, "Well what did you find out Ben?"
"Some high society Nabuian women bought him stating he was her new son to the Seller so I will check out Naboo."
"Since when would a rich Nabuian women want a slave boy as her kid?"
"Oh Orn you don't know Nabuian's like I do. Have you ever heard of Padme Amidala?"
Orn stroke his beard with a nod, "I heard she was pregnant when she died. Are all Nabuians as compassionate as her though?" Obi-Wan shook his head, "No but they love peace and they are a loving people."
Orn nodded as he led Ben onto his ship.
