New Beginning
By: Rain Kenobi Skywalker
Part 1Rain Kenobi Skywalker woke up in pain. She rolled over and woke her husband, Luke Skywalker, "Skywalker, I think it's time." She whispered to him. She tried to get out of bed but she was not succeeding. "I just wish Mom and Dad were here to see this." She said as she took a deep breath. She looks at Luke, who was looking at her, "I'm fine, really." She said answering his unspoken question. "It's just time for them to come. And I couldn't be more excited. You can tell anyone you like." She said with a smile. She had to get up, she didn't know if she was going to make it to the med center, without Luke's help. She looks at him, "Alright I'm ready to go."
Luke smiles when he opens his eyes, he looks at Rain and smiles, "You sure you're ready to go?" He smiles and gets out of bed and makes his way over to her and helps her up, "It seems just yesterday you were telling me you were pregnant. And now it is time to become a father. I can't wait." He said as he smiles warmly. He was excited, and he was sure that Rain was too. And she was going to make sure that he stayed calm. He smiles when he helps her up, "Just don't have them here." He said teasingly, "How far along are you? Or do you know?" He was sure she didn't know, but that was alright. She would get to the med bay. He smiles when they come up to the med bay, "I'm going to go find Leia, you just get settled, and I'll be back as soon as I can."
Rain looks at Luke and smiles, "I will make sure you make your way back here Skywalker." She said as she playfully hit him on the arm, "I promise I won't have these babies without you." She was so excited to finally get this over with. She was going to have the babies, and Luke was going to be there when it happened. And they had gotten rid of Ana and Terrick, they would never bother them again. They were wanted by the empire. Mostly because they were spies. But Rain was sure she wanted them to get caught for all the pain and toil they had caused Luke and Rain a few months ago. And Luke was still recovering, but he was making tremendous strides.
Luke returns a few seconds later, "I called her on the comlink. I don't want to miss any of this." He said as he took Rain's hand, "I'm so excited." He said, he was so agitated, but in a good way. He was going to make sure that Rain was comfortable, and all of that. He wasn't going to let her do this on her own. Though he knew she wanted to. But they would see, she was having the babies now. They would wait and see what the doctor would say. If she had to do something special or if Rain could just have the babies. He was sure she would be allowed to have the babies. He smiles at her and kisses her hand, "How are you doing Sweetheart?" He asked as he moved closer to her.
Rain looked up at Luke and smiled, "I'm doing alright. It's painful, but not that bad, it's bearable. Which is a surprise for me, I thought I had lost them a few months ago when we were captured. I wasn't sure if they had made it through the times I wasn't allowed to drink or eat. I'm just glad that they are fine, and you know something, this is a miracle." She knew that she was going to have to be extra careful with the babies, but right now was the time to make sure they got out alright. She hoped that everything would be fine. She didn't think she could bear it if she lost them. She knew everything was going to be alright. Luke was with her, and he was going to make sure that nothing harmed her. And she was grateful for that.
A few hours later Rain was holding her twins, it was the most amazing feeling…being a mother. She was so happy that she had done this. She knew that the babies were going to be in constant danger. But she was going to make sure that the empire never found them. And she would make sure that they lived to be healthy and happy. She smiles down at them while Luke stood behind her looking over her shoulder, "They're beautiful." Breaths Rain, "Luke what do you think we should name them, their a boy and a girl." She said smiling. She was so happy to have them, she wanted to name one of them Luke, but she didn't know if Luke would like that idea, and she was a little self conscious and didn't want to tell him.
Luke smiles down at her, being able to read her thoughts he smiles, "I think that's a great idea, "We'll name him Luke Jr. I like it." He smiles and looks down at his baby girl, she was the most wonderful thing to happen to him, well except for her mother. He smiles and shakes his head, "I don't know what to name the girl, but we'll think of something." He smiles and kisses her, "What about Nabarrie, I don't know where I heard that, but I like it, and I think it would be a perfect name for our beautiful baby girl." He smiles and sits down in a chair next to Rain's bed, "May I hold one." She smiles and hands him his son. He smiles down at the child and rocks it back and forth, "It's nice to finally meet you Little Luke." He said as he bent down and kissed the baby on the forehead.
Rain watches Luke with their children, this was going to be interesting. She knew that Luke and she had never had any experience with kids. She shook here head smiling, she knew that she was going to have to learn some stuff. But so would Luke, and they would have a good time. She looked at the child he had in his arms, "So what do you want to do now?" She knew that she wanted to go back to their cabin on Home I but she knew that she couldn't. She watches Luke as he plays with the baby. She knew he was going to be a great father. Btu she was unsure if she was going to be a good mother. She had doubts about that. And she knew that Luke had every confidence in her. But she knew she was going to mess up.
Luke looks down at the baby in his arms, his son. He couldn't think of a day, other then when he married Rain, that he was this happy. He had a family now. And he was going to fight harder in the rebellion to make sure they stay safe. He wasn't going to let anything happen to these little treasures that were given to him. He hoped that he was going to be a great father. He knew that he wouldn't be able to see them very often. But he was going to make sure he spent as much time with the family as he could. He looks at Rain and smiles, "I can't believe we're parents." He looks at his daughter, "I think it's time we traded. I want to hold Nabarrie. He said as he reached for her.
Rain smiles and switches with him. She looks down at her son, Luke Jr. She couldn't be more happy then she was today. She would do everything in her power, and she knew Luke would to, to make sure they were safe. If they had to fight harder, then so be it. She wasn't going to let anything happen to them, and she hoped that she had never ran into Palpatine when she was pregnant. Because news about the birth would get to him somehow. Hopefully there weren't any spies in the base. But she knew that was hopeful thinking. Spying was a part of war, and it was going to be hard to decide who to trust and who not to trust.
A few days later Rain is sitting in the med bay with both of her babies in her arms. She wished she could stay here, everyone took care of her and the babies. She sighs, she knew she had to leave. She looks up as Luke enters the room. He wasn't allowed to stay with her overnight. But now he was going to be with her as far as she knew. She starts to get out of bed, "I'm ready to go." She said as she stood up with the babies in her arms. She was excited, she was going to spend her first night with her babies, without anyone watching her as she fed them. She looks at Luke and smiles as she walks over to him and places his son in his arms.
Luke smiles as he takes the child away from Rain. "I guess you are ready to go." He chuckles. He knew that she was excited to get out of this place. And to tell the truth, he was feeling the same way. He wanted her home so that they could share in the delights of being parents. This was a joy that he didn't know he possessed. He was going to do his best to raise his little ones into Jedi. But first he would have to find someone to complete his training. He sighs, he would do that later, there had to be more Jedi out there that have evaded Vader….right? He looked at Rain, "Rai I'm sure you are supposed to be in a hover chair." When she shook her head, he took her hand, "Please. For me."
Rain looked at Luke with a glare on her face. That wasn't fair, she would do anything for him and he knew that. And not only did he know it, he took advantage of it daily. But she knew that he did it for her own good, but she didn't like it any more. She sighed and nodded, "Alright I can take the chair. I won't be happy about it though." She warned him as he laughed. She looked down at Nabarrie who was in her arms, she was the most beautiful thing that Rain had ever seen in her life. And her son, well he was the most handsome boy she had ever seen. And yes that included Luke. She loved them both and she wanted to see them grow, but it was going to take time and effort on her part. But that was OK, it was worth it to her.
Luke smiles when he comes back with the chair, "There, now I won't have to worry about you collapsing on the way back to our room. Wait till you see what Leia and I did to the place. We'll do a better version of it when we find a new base. But this is going to be good for now." He said as he helped her sit down in the chair and handed her Luke Jr. He couldn't believe that he was taking his little ones home today. It was a big thing to be happening. But he knew he was going to be a good dad. Or so he hoped. And he hoped that he would be there for them when they grew up. He didn't want to miss any of it. Though he knew he was going to miss quite a lot because he was going to be so busy with the rebellion and all of that. He sighs as he looks at his children as he comes to the door where they were staying.
Leia was sitting inside the door. She had been waiting for them to make sure that Rain liked the room that she and Luke had prepared for the children. They had been working on it for several days now. Since Rain went into the hospital to have the little ones. And she hoped she liked it. Even if she didn't, she wouldn't be offended. She would do whatever it took for Rain to be happy. And if this was one of those times, then so be it. If she didn't like the room, then she would help her with designing a new one for her. She smiles and shakes her head, they would be here soon, and she had to be welcoming. She knew that Rain would be happy with this. And maybe Luke would be able to talk her into staying on the ship while the rebels relocated, but she didn't see that happening.
Rain looks at Luke when they enter the room, "Alright I think I can stand now." She said as she hands him the babies and gets out of the chair. He didn't stop her, so she knew it was alright. She was happy to be back in her cabin with Luke. She looked around and saw the little room that was meant for the babies. She makes her way towards it with Luke following her. She smiles when she reaches the door and peers inside. It was the most wonderful room she had ever seen. There wasn't much done to it, considering they had such a short time to prepare. It had two cribs, one was blue and the other was pink, there was a small rocking chair in the back corner. And the best part, to Lily that is, there was a bed where she could sleep. She loved it and she turned to Luke and Leia, "Thanks you guys, it's the best present I could ever ask for."
