Chapter 2

Jacen woke up the next morning with his leg back into him. He still has a scar from where Zekk's saber sizzled into his arm, but most of the pain was gone. He look up at the ceiling and sat up. He saw Jaina next to his own bed sleeping. Looking on the other side of him he saw Zekk, out of the Baka tank and on a bed. His arm reattached to him, like Jacen's leg. He was in a hurry to make sure his leg worked like it had before. He couldn't be a Jedi knight with out both legs. Easing himself out of bed so not to wake his sister or to find out he couldn't walk. His feet hit the floor softly. Adding pressure to both feet He turns to Jaina and kisses her on her fore head before sprinting out of the Medic Unit.

Jaina stirred a bit, frowning. Too much noise. She started to wake slowly. Zekk stirs shortly after Jacen leaves. Slowly sitting up in bed, his healed arm putting his hand to his head.

"Damn! What a crash.." he mutters.

"Hmmm?" Jaina asked, still half asleep and with her eyes closed. She stretched, in no hurry to wake up.

Zekk looks over and sees Jaina lying there. A panic arose in him. He got at of the bed quickly. To quick. He stumbled and fell, landing on his hands and knees. He was weak from his mind being stripped by Luke, and all the blood he lost.

"Urg.."

Jaina heard the noise and sat up, looking around. Seeing Zekk, she jumped up and rushed to him. "Zekk..." She went over and knelt on the floor beside him.

"I'm fine," he said and looked up at her. "I'm just weak..But it was my fault I guess." He moved to he could sit down and not be on his hands and knees.

"Jaina.. I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you or Jacen."

"I know...I know." She looked at him and slid her hand into his.

He squeezed her hand softly.

"When Master Luke was in my head helping me. Before he left, we agreed he would train me as a Jedi Knight, Not Dark Jedi..." he said. "So I'll be fighting for a greater cause, the New Republic and the woman that I love."

Jaina smiled, "There's one other cause you'll be fighting for."

"What?" Zekk looked confused. "What do you mean?"

She took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "Can you feel it?"

He went pale in the face. "I did that too you? And I can here the way I did. Jacen was right, I would have hurt you..And in so doing I would have hurt not only my self, but our child." He's hand moved over his stomach. "How can I ever make it up to you, leaving you like this?"

She smiled and pulled the chain out of her shirt, the chain that held his ring. "Finish what we started."

"You'll still have me after all the trouble I've caused?" he asked softly.

"I wouldn't have anyone else."

He put his hands around her neck and unfastened the chain, sliding the ring off of it.

"I'll ask once more though," he said, taking the ring in his hand and her hand in the other.

"Jaina Solo, would you do me the honor's of becoming my wife?"

She nodded and threw her arms around his neck hugging him. "I love you."

"I love you too Jaina. I always have and always will," he hugged her back.

"Let's go tell everyone."

Zekk nodded and tried once more to stand and found he couldn't. Reaching out with the force he helped himself up.

"Yeah let's go." he smiled.

She wrapped her arm around his waist and went off to find the others.

The other were found in the Banquet Hall. Luke was telling Leia and Han about Zekk and how it was for him in the Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka was helping Jacen with his healed leg and Anakin was just watching a little of it all.

Jaina entered with Zekk. "Hey everyone..."

Jacen at first glared at the couple until he saw Zekk's eyes. There was the old twinkle back within them and Jacen walked over to them.

"Hello my favorite Sis," he said and stole her away from Zekk for a moment to give her a hug and quick peck on the cheek.

"You feeling better?" he asked both of them.

"Much," Zekk said, and glanced over to Luke.

Jaina nodded. "Definitely." She showed Jacen her hand...with the ring on it.

"Congratulation!" Jacen said and kisses her again before moving over to Zekk and slapping his softly on the back.

"Finally going to be the brother-in-law I can love and respect?"

"Respect maybe, but I would love you no matter what Jacen," Zekk said and hugged his friend.

Leia smiled and hugged her daughter. "Congratulations, baby."

Jaina smiled and looked at her father and uncle, waiting for them to say something.

Han looked as though someone just him with him a stun gun. He shook his head. "Jaina... I don't know what to say.." he said and picked her up gently giving her a hug and swinging her around.

"I'm so glad, that you are finely going to be truly happy."

Luke walked over to Zekk and touched him on his shoulder. "You're going to be a fine husband and wife. And be great parents also. Congratulations Zekk, Jaina."

Jaina smiled and moved back over to Zekk, slipping into his arms.

Anakin grinned, he always knew they'd end up together.

Tenel Ka nodded and looked at Anakin. "Master Skywalker is going to train Zekk the ways of the force. Through the right side of the force. So then Jaina's and his baby could be brought up in the same why with no fear of the dark side."

There's no guarantee my child is gonna be a Jedi." Jaina told them.

"There is a very very good chance the child will carry the Jedi genes. But the Training is up to you and Zekk." Luke told Jaina. "Your mother has it, your brothers, I have it, and Zekk also carries it."

Jaina felt a bit insulted she was left off the list, but her and Luke hadn't talked much since that night.

"But let's not forget, You also have it." Luke added seeing Jaina's face. He smiled a bit and took the few steps towards her and hugged her at long last.

"Just don't you forget where you came from."

"I never have." she said and motioned to the lightsaber clipped on her belt. "Just because I don't use it doesn't mean it's not there."



While Zekk and the other's were having a reunion, deep into the universe on the small planet of Insyn, was were the very last remains of the empire. General Mia Tukum was left in charge. She was to have run of the base until Lord Zekk had returned from where ever he had gone. But it had been almost two days and there hadn't been any word of him yet. This was very unlike Lord Zekk to be gone this long.

"Captain Pekeh please report to me at one." Mia said over the Speakers. A not even five minutes later a short thin man with a long face and beady black eyes approached him

"Yes, General."

"Pekeh, have you had any word from Lord Zekk?"

"No, Sir."

"Very well. We'll carry on this plans as scheduled." Mia said and Pekeh nodded. He moved behind a console and began to press different buttons. The deck doors opened and the dark haired Charisse came walking in.

"Where is Master Zekk?" she asked.

"I don't know. He hasn't made contact with the base in over 48 hours." Mia said. "Go back and train. He would wish it if he were here."

"No! There's a disturbance in the Force."

"Well I can't help that!" Mia raised her voice.

"After the launch we much follow his Ion train. He's in danger."

"As you wish."

"Launch Blasts!" Mia shouted across the room.

"Blasts launched!" a junior officer said after he had done so.

There was no sound for a few second, the room all holding there breathes. The sound of something blowing up was then heard.

"Target was destroyed." Pekeh said looking at the screen.

"Wonderful. Now prepare to take your posts. We're going into orbit." Mia said with a smile. Pekeh launched them into deep space.

Luke was the first one to notice not only Zekk and Jaina looking as if they could escape from Leia, but Jacen and Tenel Ka also. He motioned to Han.

"Why don't you take Leia so she can sink in the thoughts of being a grandmother and fix of a bridal and baby shower for Jaina." Luke suggested.

"Good idea.. As much as I love Jaina, I'm getting a bit tired." Han said. "The girls' too much like I was when I was her age.."

Luke laughed. "Ani, Why don't you come with me."

Han moved over to his wife.

"Hunny I need to talk to you in private." Han said.

Leia nodded and excused herself from the group, following her husband.

Anakin ran off with his uncle.

Jacen looked at Jaina then to Tenel Ka.

"Well it' looks about time for us to get going," he said and took Tenel Ka's hand. "Come on I'll show you that new course you wanted to see."

"Very well," Tenel Ka said and let Jacen lead her away.

Zekk looked shyly to Jaina. They were now alone.

Jaina smiled back and then excused herself, standing.

"Where are you going?" Zekk asked.

"I need some time alone. Just a bit."

Luke's words had hit Jaina hard; it was easy to see that. She just needed some time to think. Zekk nodded. "Ok." he said also standing up. "I'll see you later then.." he turned and started walking towards the doors out of the Palace. Jaina also headed out of the palace.

Zekk made his way down to where him home was. The lower levels of the planet always called to him. Each time he had went down there in the past he always found something that would give him and his friend enough money to like on for the next month. He though of old Peckum and decided to visit him.

Zekk looked at the place where he lived and made his way into the building to the room he and Peckum shared. He knocked on it and waited. A few minutes later the door opened.

"Zekk!?" Peckum said with a cough. "Is it really you?"

"Yes it is," Zekk said and smiled. "Do you mind if I come in?"

"Not at all, not at all." Soon Zekk and Peckum were talking as if never apart.

Jaina headed to the old Jedi temple, walking around in what was once the meeting room of the council. She touched the walls and stared out the window. Once upon a time this had been what she wanted but then...she blamed the Jedi for what happened to Zekk and when he left...so did she, forsaking her training. A part of her regretted it. Not being with Zekk, of course, but the fact she wasn't the Jedi her brother was.

Her fingers lightly caressing the hilt of her saber, she pulled it of her belt and ignited it, sparring against an invisible foe and seeing if she still had it somewhere inside her.

Jaina continued, looking quite graceful almost as if...dancing to music only she could hear. She could have been a great Jedi.

Zekk after almost 3 hours got up to take his leave.

"You're welcome to stay here if you like."

"No thanks Peckum, I have a place at the Palace."

"Ok, as long as you're sure."

"I'm very sure," Zekk said and turned to leave. "Oh, by the way, would you do me the honors of acting as my father on Jaina's and I's up coming wedding?"

Peckum smiled and tears glittered in his old eyes.

"It would be my honor Zekk."

Zekk walked over to him and hugged him. "Thanks," he said and walked out. Peckum started crying on the spot.

Jaina kept going, giving herself one hell of a workout.

Jacen had left Tenel Ka at the course and went to the old temple. He didn't talk to anyone as he caught a glance of his sister. He stood there in the shadows and watched her.

Zekk went back to the palace to find Jaina still gone. But he wasn't worried about her.... Too much. He went to C3PO and asked for a quest room.

"Yes this way," 3PO said. Zekk followed.

She stopped, feeling Jacen there.

Jacen still kept to the shadows of the temple. Luckily he had taking up his uncle's habit of wearing all black.

"Jacen...I know you're here."

"You regret leaving don't you? And not finishing your training."

"A bit. Yes."

Jacen stepped out of the shadows. "Then why don't you finish? You still can. Uncle Luke did.."

"Luke and I aren't on the best of terms...and with the baby coming...I don't think I can."

"Have you even tried to talk to Luke? And the exercise would be good for the baby."

"And since when are you an expert on babies?"

"Since mom had Ani." Jacen chuckles.

Jaina rolled her eyes. "Still...Luke and I...I wouldn't know what to say to him Jacen. That night...we all said things we didn't mean but I...I was particularly harsh and to him."

"Jaina, it doesn't matter, it's in the past. What matter's now is to live for a stronger tomorrow. Luke is your Uncle, and he does love you. He knows what you said was said in anger. He forgave you long ago for that. While you were gone he was miserable, having lost not only one of his best Jedi Knights but his only niece and part of his closest family."

"I will talk to him." She nodded and put her saber back, walking towards Jacen.

"I think you would be much happier if you did."

"Where do I find him?"

"His at the palace giving tips to Ani. Ani is almost done with his training."

Jaina nodded and left the temple, heading back towards the palace. She stood in the doorway watching Anakin and Luke.

Luke and Ani were sparring with lightsaber. Luke felt Jaina's presence's.

"Good Ani, now attack me again."

Anakin did as his uncle commanded, going to attack him.

Jaina watched a few more minutes before turning to leave.

"Why are you leaving Jaina?" Luke asked and blocked Ani's attack, shutting his saber down. He nodded to Ani the training was over for the day.

"You two seemed busy."

"No, we were just practicing. Please come in." Luke said.

Jaina stepped inside.

Luke walked over and pressed the water button of the food prep unit in the training room. "You have something on your mind you wish to discuss with me," he said and also ordered a cup of water for Jaina as well. "Please have a seat," he said and handed her the cold water while sipping his own.

"I...I was up in the temple." She told him, taking a sip. "Just playing around and Jacen...he has this idea that...he suggested I..." For some reason Jaina could not bring herself to say the words. Perhaps she was afraid of her uncle saying no.

"He suggested for you to finish your training?" Luke helped.

Jaina nodded. "He said the exercise would be good for the baby."

"He's right, it would be good for the babies." Luke said. "But is it the babies you looking out for or do you want to finish your training because you wish too?"

Jaina frowned, why did everyone keep saying babies. Jacen and now Luke. She would say Baby and then they would say Babies. She looked at Luke. "You can feel it, can't you? There is two of them."

Luke nodded. "Just like you and Jacen and Leia and I. They are also very strong, for not even being born yet.."

"I...I can't feel them." Jaina frowned.

"You will. You left too soon to be able to have a keen sense of the Force, though you do feel when one of us is near you. I will help you hone those abilities if you give me the chance."

Jaina nodded.

"Dinner is soon, Go and rest for an hour and I'll come and fetch you." Luke smiled. "We'll start training tomorrow.

Jaina nodded and turned to leave.

"May The Force Be With You," Luke said before she left.

"You too, Uncle." She went upstairs to lie down.
