Ok this is an idea that just popped in my head the other day, Massively AU. I figured I better get it written before I forgot about it.

Chapter 1

Han Solo sat at the controls of his ship, The Millennium Falcon. His trusty co-pilot Chewbacca sat in his seat. His three-year-old daughter sat on Chewbacca's lap, watching her father intently. She was excited; today her father would allow her to pull the hyperspace lever to bring them out of lightspeed.

Hearing the alarm the little brown-eyed girl looked at her father, "Now can I do it daddy?" He smiled and nodded at his daughter. She got off of Chewbacca's lap and put her hand on the levers, but lacked the strength to pull, her father put his hand over hers and helped. "I want to be a pilot just like you when I get big."

"You're gonna make a great pilot one day Ami." Chewbacca roared in agreement. The little girl possessed the best qualities of her parents, at three she could fix just about anything on the ship. Her mother, Leia, normally frowned when the girl would squeeze into some small compartment to fix something that her father was too big to get into. Her mother would usually give into the child when she begged to be allowed to help fix things; Ami had inherited her mother's ability to convince people to see things her way.

The Falcon came out of lightspeed over the planet of Coruscant. They really hadn't meant to arrive at the city wide planet, but it was the closet system at the time with the best medical facilities. Han got up to head back to his and Leia's cabin, Ami started to follow her father, "Ami stay up here and pilot the ship with Chewie, I'm going to check on your mother."

Leia Solo, formerly Princess Leia Organa, lay in her and Han's bed in considerable pain. The pain medication that her husband administered her, what had seemed like hours ago, had worn off. She took deep breaths as another contraction ripped through her body. The pregnancy had gone normally until a few days ago. When the contractions had started Han ran the medical scanner over her and its recommendations were to seek expert medical care. Leia looked up to see that her husband had just joined her in their cabin.

"How are you holding up sweetheart?" He moved over to her and took her hand in his, "We just arrived at Coruscant."

"I wish we could have gone somewhere other than the New Republic's center."

"Hey, it'll be alright. You and our baby need the best medical care, and this was the closest."

"You know they're going to arrest you as soon as we land, after all, they think you kidnapped me."

Yavin IV; 6 years ago

Princess Leia Organa was summoned to General Dodonna's office. He had just made contact with Mon Mothma to report the successful mission to destroy the dreaded Death Star. As Leia entered the office she heard Dodonna and Mon Mothma in conversation.

"Well you see we have no place for her here. Where in the Alliance can we place the princess?"

"I wanted to place her someplace safe. She is one of our biggest assets. Just days ago, I got an offer that will ensure the princess' safety and provide the Alliance with the funds to bring down the Empire."

"That is most excellent! Where will I be sending the princess?"

"You won't be sending her anywhere, they will come for her." The holo of Mon Mothma smiled, "The Hapes Prince Isolder has shown interest in our dear princess. He wishes to marry her, and in exchange we will be funded throughout the war and after."

Leia's jaw dropped, 'How dare they,' she thought. No matter how much she cared for the Alliance, she would not be forced into an arranged marriage. Alive or dead, her father would have never agreed to this. She quickly turned on her heel and stormed out of Dodonna's office.

Leia needed air. 'I'll never agree to it, they can't make me do it. My father would have never sold me out!' Leia had made her way down to a nearby lake and screamed at the top of her lungs.

Han Solo had fallen asleep next to the great lake's warm sand and was abruptly awoken by a loud scream. He jolted up and grabbed his blaster. He ran towards the sound of the scream. Down the beach he had napped on he found the princess on the ground crying her eyes out. He felt sorry for the poor girl, even though he'd never felt sorry for someone brought up with wealth before. But she was different, she had lost everything; her family, her money, and he suspected her innocence. He was well aware of what could happen in an imperial interrogation session. He kneeled down next to the princess.

"Princess, are you alright?" She looked up at the smuggler that had aided in her rescue just days ago. She was embarrassed to be caught in a moment of weakness.

"I'm fine," she lied. She got up and started to walk away from him.

"Hey, no you're not. Sit, talk," he gave her his best lopsided grin. She looked back at him, his smile was infectious and she smiled back at him. She walked back to him but remained standing.

"Let me ask you something, Captain Solo. If you found out that you had to do something that completely goes against what you know that your parents wanted for you, something that would ensure the safety of the galaxy, and something that could possibly end the war, would you do it?"

"Well, I never knew my parents well, so I would never know what they wanted for me."

"I'm going to be forced into an arranged marriage." Leia let her eyes drop.

"What! Now that is totally unfair for anyone. You don't even look old enough to be getting married."

"I'll be nineteen in three weeks. I don't want to do it. I can't do it."

"Then don't, those higher ups don't own your life, you do."

They were interrupted by the whir of C-3PO's servomotors. "Excuse me your highness, but your required to meet with General Dodonna."

Leia looked at Han, "Sometimes I don't know, Captain Solo. But thanks anyways."

Later that evening Leia snuck away and saw Han working on his ship. His words came back to her. 'He's right,' she thought, 'they don't own my life I do.' She knew that Solo was prepping his ship to return to Tatooine to pay off the Hutt he owed money to; she had just made a decision that would change her life forever. No longer would she carry the title 'Princess,' she ran to her quarters and packed her belongings.

She was lucky he had left the ramp down. She climbed aboard the ship and went to the lounge where she ran into Captain Solo.

"Hey, princess, what can I do to help you?" He noticed her bag.

"You're right, they don't own me. I want to go with you."

"Hey, now I didn't mean for you to run away."

"If I stay, I'll end up doing what I don't want to. I'm crossing the line of the life I was expected to live and going to live the life that I want to live."

"Alright, but this ain't no free ride, princess."

"I'll work hard to earn my keep, I heard Skywalker saying that you wanted him to come with him to be a gunner, I can do that. I can do whatever you want of me." She smiled at him. "And don't call me princess anymore, it's just Leia."

He smiled at her, "Alright, Leia, and Welcome to the crew of The Millennium Falcon.

The next day, the Alliance discovered that Princess Leia had disappeared. The search had yielded no results and the leaders were informed that The Millennium Falcon had taken off, around the last time that the princess had been seen. Dodonna came to the conclusion that, Han Solo had kidnapped her.
