Naboo – Winter Time – 18 Months Later
Brian and Athena Skywalker are enjoying some time with their families on Naboo during the winter time, for it was beautiful to see the Lake Retreat covered with snow, and the lake nearly frozen over. They smiled at each other, knowing that they were going to be parents very soon.
Commander Adama of the Battlestar Galactica was very proud of his daughter and son-in-law. He saw it in their faces that they were both excited and scared of becoming parents. He along with Anakin and Padme Skywalker assured them that once the baby comes, everything will get easier from there. He then asked them a question that everyone was still wondering about.
"Have the two of you decided on names for the baby?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"Well, we're still deciding on either Amidala or Illya if it's a girl." Athena told them.
"Or Luke or Zac if it's a boy." Brian said with a smile on his face.
"I think it's great that you have decided on names that have importance to everyone here." Padme said to them with small smile on her face.
"Adama, I've heard that you might be going to continue the voyage to Earth in the near future. Is this true?" Anakin asked.
"I still have to think about it Anakin. After all, that was the reason that the fleet was formed to begin with. If it hadn't been for the Galactic Alliance, I hate the thought of what would have happened to the fleet." Adama said in a solemn voice.
"Father, if you leave, who will I look up to if I decide to stay here." Athena said to him.
"You have plenty of family here already Athena. Besides Brian and the baby, you have plenty of family here with Brian's family Athena. Besides, you are a grown woman who is expecting her first child very soon." He said to her with a gentle touch to her hand.
Athena excused herself and headed to the 'fresher to wash away the tears that were starting to form. Brian and Anakin sensed that Leia and Han with their children were finally here to enjoy themselves as well.
"Great now 'She who has a Big Head' is here with Han with Jacen and Jaina." Brian said while smirking a bit.
Padme still could not understand why Brian kept teasing his sister like this, for at times it got out of hand! Granted that they never had the chance to grow up together, but it didn't give Brian the right to tease Leia all the time as well. She gave her son a look that told him to stop now. He mouthed that he would if Leia didn't say anything first. Padme accepted that for now, but she knew neither of them would keep their mouths from provoking the other.
Anakin went to Leia and greeted her and Han, and then picked up the twins and carried them to where they were sitting at. The twins took the drinks that Padme gave them after giving each of them a kiss on the cheek. They laughed at that and then started to drink their juice. Adama was wondering if continuing the voyage is a good idea now if Athena and Brian decided to stay here and raise the baby.
"What happened to Apollo, Sheba, and Boxey? I thought they were going to be here as well." Leia wondered.
"They will be here soon I believe. Sheba had to get clearance to fly since in the early stages of her pregnancy now. Hopefully Dr. Salik won't give her a hard time about this now. She's been known to have a temper at times." Adama said while thinking of the times she reminded him of his old friend Commander Cain.
Brian then decided to check to see what was keeping Athena so long in the 'fresher. He knocked on the door, and asked if she was alright.
"Brian, I think I better get to the hospital now! I think I'm in labor!" Athena said before she doubled over in pain!
Brian gently picked up his wife and informed everyone that they needed to get Athena to the hospital! Brian and Athena rode in the gondola first and get into the speeder they had! Everyone else got into the next gondola's and headed to the hospital in Theed.
Brian rushed Athena into the Emergency Room, and informed the nurse on duty that his wife was in too much pain! The nurse took Athena into the nearest examination room for a doctor to examine her. Brian was told to wait outside and the doctor would inform him if there was anything wrong or that he could go in and see Athena.
Everyone else arrived a short time later to see what Athena's condition was like. Brian told them that the doctor will be with them soon. A short time later the doctor came out and told Brian to head up to the delivery room because Athena had indeed gone into labor, and her water broke in the examination room. He followed the doctor to the delivery room, but not before putting on scrubs and a mask before going in.
Everyone was wondering what was going on for it seemed like hours or centars depending on the time unit that was being used. Finally Brian came out and looked at everyone before speaking.
"Well everyone, I'm a father now of…"
