"That's not possible," Leia said as she rose from her seat, but deep down she knew that he was her son.
"Yes, it is," Kyle said, beginning his part of the story. "About ten years back, I was in the Meridian sector on a planet called Arbac III. The people were trying to overthrow their monarchy, so I went there to try to instill some peace. By the time I had arrived, however, the king and queen had been killed. Their son, though, was believed to be alive somewhere. I found my contact on the planet. He had a boy with him around the age of 19. I didn't know at the time, but this was the crowned prince of Arbac III. We hurried to my ship and blasted off into space. The boy wouldn't talk much at first, but he did tell me that he was the prince. He also told me that he has seen his parents killed and that has haunted him ever since. He traveled with me and Jan after that. People constantly mistaked him for my son. I realized that he did look a lot like me. He told me one day that he was adopted. The only thing that he was told about his birth parents was that they were too young to take care of him and had decided that it was best that he was adopted so the king and queen had taken him in. I knew from the very beginning that he was strong in the force, so I asked him if he would like me to train him. He was hesitant at first, after all he had heard all the stories of the Jedi purge. He finally agreed, though, and his training began. I took him to Dagobah because your brother had once told me that it was strong in the force and was where Yoda had lived. While I was there, I saw Yoda. It was like the way that Luke used to see Ben. Yoda told me that Dack was my son. I didn't believe him at first, but then it all made sense to me. I asked Yoda who the mother was, and he told me to listen to my heart. Then it hit me, I asked him if it was you and he told me it was. After that, Dack and I left Dagobah. He traveled around for awhile and I trained him," Kyle paused for a second.
Leia looked at him with disbelief, and …anger, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you knew and hadn't cared. I figured that if you didn't want him then, why would you want him now? I guess I know that wasn't true now. I was so ready to blame you and yell at you when I got here," Kyle smiled, "I guess that wasn't necessary."
"No," Leia said, hanging her head. "I should have told you that I was pregnant. I deserve whatever you were going to say to me."
"Nah. What I wonder now, though, is what part your mother and aunts played in this."
"They must have given me a mild poison and had the doctor take the baby out of me and put it into a artificial womb. Then, I guess they must have sent him to Arbac III," Leia said, "I can't believe I missed out on the first 30 years of his life! And I though missing out on the first two years of the twins' lives was bad!"
"Well, you can make up for it now," Kyle said, trying to instill some hope in her.
"Yes, but it won't be the same. What if he doesn't want anything to do with me?" Leia said worriedly.
"He will, Leia," Kyle replied as he tried to soothe her. "He's been asking me about you for years."
"What did you tell him? Did you tell him who I was?" Leia asked curiously.
"I didn't tell him who you were but I told him about you. Only your good qualities, though," Kyle said, giving her a wink.
"Like…," Leia said, smiling at him.
"Like how beautiful you were, and still are, might I add," Leia blushed, as he figured she would, "And how smart and funny you were."
"You said that," Leia asked, surprised.
"Yep, I sure did," Kyle replied, smiling at her. "Well, I better be going now, it's getting late. What should I tell Dack?"
"I'd like to be there when you tell him that I'm his mother. How about tomorrow morning? I'll come down to your ship.
"Sounds good. Oh, one last question. Are you going to tell your husband and your daughter?"
Oh, Kreth Leia thought I hadn't even thought about what I was going to tell them! "Yes, of course I will," Leia said, "Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know. I'll see you later, then," Kyle said, standing up. Leia also stood, and they briefly embraced. "I've missed you, Leia."
Leia smiled, not knowing what to say Had she missed him?, "Me too"
As Kyle turned to go, Leia stopped him, "Kyle, would you like to have dinner with Han and me tomorrow night?"
"Uh…sure. Want Dack to come, too?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, of course. Well, you better be going. Talk to you later. Good night."
"Bye, Leia," Kyle said walking out the door.
