Chapter 7: A New Queen

Jag, Wedge, and Gavin all walked in. They had put out word I had been found and the soldiers, after Jag had beaten the shit out of Ganner, had placed Ganner in jail. They walked over to the corner I had fallen asleep in surrounding me.

"Jag she has been with him three months and is pregnant with his baby…He brain washed her so you know we have to do this."

"I know we must keep her locked up you can trust me."

Jag gently picked up my four month pregnant body carrying me down off the ship to excluded Naboo now a military capital. He brought me to the excluded mansion (little did we know it was my grandparents place) which he had prepared to keep me inside. He went to the bedroom lying me gently on the bed quickly leaving to finish his preparations.

I awoke the next day with a jump. I looked around not recognizing where I was and jumped off the bed. I ran to the door trying to open it but found it locked. I let out a whimper fearing for me and my child's life. I hurried across the room to the window pulling at it to find it locked. I grabbed the chair throwing it at it but the window was bullet proof it couldn't be broken. I screamed as I heard foot steps. I ran behind the door waiting. It opened hiding me behind it and the man walked in I sent a round house kick aimed at his house only to have my leg grabbed by him.

"I know you to well to fall for that…"

He turned still holding my leg and I glared into Jag's eyes.

"How could you!?! We are partners and you are holding me captive!"

He waited for the door to automatically shut locking itself before he let go of my foot.

"It was an order if it was not me it would be someone else. Jaina everyone fears he brainwashed you."

"That's insane! It was the Vong! They had a spy! They killed Vale to get me! They snatched Ganner!"

"Jaina he has lied to you before."

"So has everyone else. Like you when you vowed to be my partner which means to trust me."

I slipped the ring off my heart breaking.

"I was always loyal to you Jag but obviously you can't trust me."

I held out the ring tears sparkling in my eyes. He looked at my beyond hurt.

"Dam mit Jaina! How could you think that!?! I love you I have always loved you! I want you to be my wife."

"Than trust me and let me go."

He looked down at the ground and I knew he was contemplating what to do. I decided to sway his opinion. I seductively kissed him pushing him against the wall. Eventually he tipped his head up breaking the kiss for air.

"I'm sorry I can't let you go until your family arrives…"

My mouth dropped and I shoved him against the wall angry before walking sitting on the bed my back to him arms crossed.

"Until I am released don't even think about touching me unless you wish to lose your hand."

"As you wish."

I heard the door open and close. I looked around the room searching for anything. Than it found it and climbed up onto the hope chest stretching up moving a lose ceiling panel. I grabbed the edges hoisting myself up into the ceiling. I crawled on my heads and knees searching for a way to the outside world. I found a vent to the outside and pried it open with my hands. I stuck my head out see I was two stories up and force flipped to the ground. I spotted smoke in the distant sky and ran towards it.

….

Jag opened the door again with a trey of food to see it empty. He spotted the removed ceiling panel and dropped the trey running outside around the house to see the vent gone.

"Dam mit Jaina!"

….

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and found a small cottage. I ran to the door knocking repeatedly. A elderly woman answered and saw my state.

"Oh my Lord come in!"

I did and she brought me to her living room sitting me by the fire and wrapping blankets around me.

"What has happened to you? Who are you?"

"I am in the Galactic Military Maim. I just escaped from the captivity of the Vong. I am Lieutenant Jaina Solo."

All the sudden she went down on here her knees bowing her head muttering blessings and I looked at her wide eyed.

"I'm sorry have I upset you?"

"No all of Naboo has been waiting for you to find us my lady!"

"I don't understand what have I done!?!"

"You have brought joy to all our hearts My Lady you are Queen of Naboo your grandmother Senator Amidala saw to it."

At this statement I fainted and she ran to get help.

….

I awoke in the great palace surround by people as I sat up I discovered I was in a royal dress. I stood panicking.

"I'm sorry but there has to have been a big mistake! I'm no Queen! My grandfather was Darth Vader!"

"Yes my queen and Padme Amidala was your grandmother. She hide her pregnancy from most but not us…We knew Anakin before he changed my lady and I assure you, you are Queen of Naboo."

"But you don't understand I am eighteen. My baby brother just died. I am a pilot not a Queen."

"We are well aware of who you are and we have faith in you."

"But I'm…"

"Pregnant and un married we are aware of your state. Let us help you and guide you. You don't even have to devote all your time to this. We can run Naboo while you are else where but you are ruler."

"And this is because of my blood."

"Yes."

"Than I will be Queen it is my duty."

They all smiled and slid on a tiara. A hand maiden held out a beautiful red jem necklace.

"It was your grandmother's she would want you to wear it."

I slid it on and felt the warmth against my chest. The door burst open and my body guards swarmed me ready to fight and I saw a very angry Wedge Antilles, Gavin Darklighter, Jagged Fel, and Luke Skywalker.

"Jaina Solo you come out of there right now!"

I pushed my way through the people to face the four men I feared most right now. I put my hand on my four months pregnant swollen belly.

"Uncle Luke."

"You disobeyed direct military orders!"

"No I was being held un lawfully for no reason besides the fact that you didn't trust me. I said the truth and it was disregarded."

"You were with him three months what we supposed to do?"

"I was with the father of my baby who saved me from the Vong unlike you! I don't appreciate being abandoned by my own family who said they would protect me!"

"You weren't abandoned Jaina we thought you were dead! We had just lost your brother!"

"You should have known me!"

A tear streamed down my face. And I turned on my two commanding officers.

"You should have too! I am one of the best dam pilots you had! SO court marshal me if you want to I don't give a dam anymore because I will keep fighting with the Rouges or not! I am Queen of Naboo now and I will defend it and my child!"

All four of their mouths dropped as the whole situation un folded.

"So this is where I take my stand what are you going to do? Revoke our engagement? Take my knighthood and family away? Court Marshal me?"

All shook their heads slowly and I nodded.

"Than I suggest you release Ganner and be nice to him. Now I need to talk to Wedge."

I hugged the others good bye and had Wedge follow me into the garden.

"I need a favor from Iella…"

"What is it?"

"I need her to track down Talon Karrde and Lando for me it is a important matter."

"I'm sure she will be able to do it."

They both stood in my office shifting uncomfortable waiting for me to show up. I entered hugging both of them a huge smile plastered on my face.

"Jaina you are absolutely glowing. Look at you."

"You always were a suck up to the girls Lando but flattery won't get you anywhere when I am in the room with you."

"That's what you think Karrde your getting old."

"Boys please!"

We all laughed and I sat on top of my desk facing them.

"So why does the Queen of Naboo call on two old smugglers?"

I frowned at Talon.

"The Vong have a big reward on my head for the Goddess assumption and now my child. I trust you both with my life and your skills. Smugglers have special skills such as escaping and technological. Would you men work together to bring all your smuggling friends together to create an Alliance with Naboo."

"You are obviously a Solo! Just like your dad smuggling instincts! I love it!"

"I can work with Karrde I think I see where this is going."

"The Vong have spies in the government in the military everywhere. If we can smuggle in plans and new weapons we can eat them. And who better than Smugglers."

There eyes glistened and they shook hands with each other…
