I stood there with my mouth agape, not sure what to say.
I fake smiled and then looked from Jaina to Han. Han too had on a fake smile, which quickly turned into a frown.
"Will my wish come true?" Jaina asked, looking up at me with those same big puppy dog eyes.
I smiled at her and bent down to meet her eye level. "Jaina, Sweetie, I am almost positive that your wish will come true."
She grinned at me "REALLY?"
I nodded my head. "Of course."
"I love you Mommy!" She screamed, and then wrapped her little arms around my neck. I returned her hug and then she broke away from me, happily turning and eating her cake.
"ALL FINISHED!!!" Jacen screamed, and I walked over and whipped off his face with a napkin.
"Here you go Jacen. It's your birthday present. Go on ahead and open it."
He grinned and then tore open the present. His grin turned huge and he thrusted the toy into the air. "MODEL SHIP!!!" He screamed, and then jumped off of his seat, running towards his room. I turned to Han and he smiled at me.
"You're good with kids." He said.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"It's a good thing that you are, 'cause you're going to be left to raise them by yourself." He spat at me, and then turned on his heel and walked out of the door.
"What?!" I screamed, and then ran to catch up with him, leaving Jacen and Jaina alone in the room. "HAN!" I screamed as I ran down the hallway.
"WHAT?" He screamed at me, stopping and turning around. There was loads of hate in his eyes, and I must admit, I was rather scared.
"You're…You're leaving me?"
"Yeah. Got a problem with that?" He spat.
"Yes! I do! Han, what happened?"
"What do you mean 'what happened?' you know damn well what happened!"
"Han, just because I didn't wear my ring one day doesn't mean that you should just leave me!!"
"You don't even care about our relationship!! You don't even CARE about our love!"
"How can you even SAY that?? I love you more than I love my own brother!"
"That's a load of shit and you know it." He muttered.
"Han, what happened to us?"
"What do you mean?" He yelled.
"What happened to the love? What happened to the time when we would just lay in each others arms and count the stars until we both fell asleep? What happened to that time you kissed me? What happened?" Tears were forming in my eyes.
"You don't even love me anymore. THAT'S what happened."
"Han, I DO LOVE YOU!"
"Prove it."
"What do you mean 'Prove it'? How can I 'prove it'?"
"You're not wearing your ring…AGAIN."
"Yes I am!" I held up my finger for him to see, and he just huffed and then turned around, walking more down the hallway.
"HAN!" He didn't turn around. "HAN PLEASE!!" I screamed, and then ran to catch up with him. "HAN!" I cried, and then grabbed his shirt, pulling him towards me.
"DAMN IT LEIA, LET GO!" He screamed, and then pushed me onto the ground. I landed with a thump and kneeled on the ground. My hair came undone, but I didn't really care. One braid was in, and one braid wasn't.
"HAN, I LOVE YOU! I…I love you."
"No you don't. You don't love me anymore."
"You know what? I think that you're the one who doesn't love me."
"What? Leia, how can you say that?"
"How can you say that I don't love you?"
"I—" He was at a loss of words. "Ugh, forget it. JUST GET OUT OF MY LIFE! Life was SO much simpler with YOU out of the picture."
Then, it happened.
I cried.
No, I bawled.
I probably cried harder then I ever had in my whole life. I was kneeling on the floor, crying my eyes out in front of Han. I looked up at him, and his eyes changed.
They changed from anger to compassion.
"LEIA! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you like that! I'm sorry!" He held his arms out to me, and I pushed them away.
"Too late for that, flyboy." I growled at him, and then stood up and ran down the hallway towards the apartment. I took one last look at him as he groaned and then stepped into the elevator.
Then, I gasped.
I looked around, and in all of the doorways, there were at least 2 people in each one, and people lined the hallway.
They had all watched us fight.
I sighed and then opened the door to the apartment. Before I even walked in, Jacen and Jaina tackled me and started to laugh.
"Hi Mommy!" Jacen smiled, and I looked backwards at all of the people, some of which were crying.
"Hey."
"Where's Daddy?" Jaina asked, quizzically.
"He…He…He went on a vacation."
"Oh." Jacen started. "When is he going to be back?"
"Tomorrow. Now go get ready for bed."
"Okay!" Jaina said, and then they got off of me and ran into their bedroom. I stood up and closed the door.
"I hope…." I said before heading upstairs and getting ready for bed.
So there's the
