A/N: As you can see, I decided to move this as well. I might decide to make this another one-shot of Luke and Tanith, but for now it's just this previous story. I have jumped generations in this one. You've heard of him in Hero…Now actually meet him.

Tanith's hair color has changed to correlate with my story Darkness at the Door.

Side Note: Ben is 25 in this point. His wife is three years older than him. Full name Myra Zol-she is Corellian (Han's thrilled), but generally soft-spoken (but quick witted when need be). Thought to give you guys insight, thanks to Fettkat's review.

Unexpected Arrivals

Luke stared down at the baby that was nestled in his arms, the child's sparkling green eyes staring back at him. His reddish-brown hair was smoothed finely to his skull and Tanith Skywalker kicked once to dispel the blanket swaddling him.

"Now, repeat what you said." Luke said.

"I just thought you might like to spend time with your grandson." Ben replied with a smirk. "Myra and I are going out for the day—sort of promised her.

"Thanks for giving me such short notice." He responded dryly.

"Please, Dad," He pressed his hands together pleadingly. "If I break my promise, my manhood will be seriously compromised and you won't get another one of those." He thumbed at Tanith.

"I suppose," His fathered sighed melodramatically. "If I must."

Ben shook his head with a grin. "Don't act like you aren't thrilled."

It was true; any moment Luke got to spend with his grandson gave him great joy.

The Jedi Master rolled his eyes.

"Please, Master Skywalker. I really need this." Myra pleaded. "I really need this day to myself…" At Ben's nudge she amended, "Ourselves."

Luke rolled his eyes again.

Stop begging...You know I'll look after him. What sort of granddad would I be if I didn't?"

"Thanks, Dad." Ben clapped his father on the shoulder. "You're a lifesaver."

"Story of my life."

Myra leaned up on tip toe, pressing her lips to his cheek. "Thank you!"

"It's no problem. Now go."

"We're going, we're going…" Ben said, guiding his wife toward the exit. He stopped, pivoted and threw out cheekily, "Be good for grandpa, Tanith."

Luke frowned displeased.

His son laughed and the young couple left.

.

Luke sat back on the couch gradually, looking into Tanith's eyes once more. He tickled the boy under the chin, smiling. "Well, what do we do, hmm?" He cocked his head to the side. "Guess there's not much you can do. Eat, sleep, spit up and poop." He set the baby in his lap, attempting to get him to sit up, but Tanith had yet to master that art. The man improvised by holding the baby behind his back, strong hands gripping him gently.

Luke started to bounce his leg in an attempt to entertain the child. The baby looked around then stared up at his grandfather and let out an excited coo. He flapped his arms, his little fists balled. He grinned and fastened the pace.

"Are you riding a Tauntaun, Tanith? You have to hold on then..." He asked in an animated fashion. "They can be stubborn…and..." Luke sniffed the air, his face contorting in displeasure—he knew that odor. "Smelly." He lifted the child and took another whiff. "And there's one of the things you can do..." The Master got up, set on changing his grandson, when the door chimed.

"Aww, who could that, be now." He shouldered the child and walked to the door, pressing the speaker. "Yes, who is it?"

"Now, what kind of answer is that?" responded a perturbed-sounding voice.

Luke hit the button that triggered the door and stared blankly at his brother-in-law.

"Oh, it's you..." He turned around heading toward the living room.

"Well, that's a fine greeting for your favorite brother-in law." Han harrumphed. "..When Leia and I took the time out to see you."

"You're my only brother-in-law, Han." He turned for a moment. "And I think the word you were looking for was harass…"

Han looked at Leia and she shrugged. The Corellian picked up the pace to walk beside him on the right; he looked over Luke's shoulder, peering at the green-eyed infant.

He grinned. "So, they stuck you with the kid, huh?"

"They did not stick me with, Tanith." Luke exclaimed exasperatedly. Leia joined them at Luke's left.

"So, how much notice did they actually give you?"

"Well…"

"Let me guess, they just showed up and said, here you go, Dad, have fun."

The younger man shot his friend an irate look.

"No doubt it was followed by a lot of begging."

"I enjoy taking care of my grandson." Luke defended.

Han shook his head. "You're such a pushover."

"I love my grandson."

"If you allow his parents to get away with that, what do you think is gonna happen when he gets old enough to talk?"

Luke waved Han off then retreated. Han and Leia watched him disappear into the bedroom.

.

Leia swatted her husband on the arm. "Nerfherder." She pinned her husband with a chilly glare. "He enjoys it, and you're making it sound like a chore."

"I know, just giving him a hard time." He shrugged. "It's what I do."

His wife sighed. "Can you not be yourself for a bit? Can you try that?"

"Not promising anything, Princess."

She sighed.

"Go make yourself useful and make some caf or something." She shooed him away.

After Han had withdrawn into the kitchen, grumbling to himself, Leia turned to follow her brother into the bedroom.

She found her brother sitting on the bed, bent over the baby as he proceeded to slip a clean diaper beneath Tanith. He powdered the boy then attached the tabs all the while talking softly and making silly faces. Leia smiled at this sight, her heat warming. It was good to see her brother like this, she always knew her twin would make a good father—and so it came as no surprise to her that he wasn't a slouch in the grandfather department either.

Luke picked up Tanith beneath the arms and cradled the baby against him. "There how's that…No more stinky diaper."

She smiled, trying not to move.

"Leia, I know you're there."

"You sensed me." She guessed.

"No, dear sister," He turned to face her, grinning slightly. "It's called peripheral vision. As far as I'm aware, all humans have it."

"Oh, you." She folded her arms over her chest and crossed over to the bed. Gently sitting on it she reached out her hands for her grand-nephew. "May I?"

Luke passed over Tanith without a thought and leaned back on his hands. He smiled watching his sister cradle the baby. "Still a wonder, isn't he?"

"Yes…" A sad look entered her eyes.

Luke leaned. "Leia?"

"I only wish we had gotten to see Alana as a baby." She sighed. "With her parentage being in question, she was hidden on Hapes most of the time."

"Yes, but you did get to know her, and do, and that's what matters." He brother assured her. "And who knows, maybe some time soon, you'll have a great-grand daughter or son."

She gave him one of her dazzling 100 watt smiles. "Yes, you're right, Brother."

"Have I ever been wrong?" He grinned playfully.

Leia rolled her eyes.

There game a knock at the doorjamb.

Han poked his head into the room. "Look, I hate to break up this love fest, but caf is ready."

Leia got up with her brother rising to his feet a second later. She offered her brother Tanith back. Luke glanced at her confused but took him anyway. He narrowed looked at her questioningly as she started for the door.

Are you okay?

He could feel her smiling inwardly.

I'm fine…Now, enjoy your time with you grandson…

She took hold of Han's hand. "C'mon, Han."

Sorry, he insisted on coming over, she sent.

Her husband was the one to look confused this time.

"Now, there's this little café I want to try..." Leia pulled him along. "Come now, you've pestered Luke enough."

"But..." He started to protest.

His wife shook her head.

"See you around, Brother," She said over her shoulder. "Don't worry about us, Han and I can see ourselves out."

Luke walked out after his sister and her husband anyway, watching them leave. He shifted the baby in his arms and stopped in the hallway.

"Bye, Leia…Don't be a stranger." He called out.

"Never."

Leia stepped out of the apartment, leaving Luke alone with Tanith once more. He looked down at his grandson and smiled. "Well, that was fun, right…" He turned. "Let's go see what's on the HoloNet shall we?"

A/N: Not quite a one-shot… (it still will be going in the fleeting moments story). Hope you liked it!
