Chapter 8: Finding The Love

Hi everybody!

Nice you're reading this, please leave a review.

Enjoy this new chapter!


The next 3 weeks, during the negotaitions with the Imperials, Leia found out her brother was gone most of the times, just like the Empress.

She had thought it was Force business or some spiritual stuff, but that thought was broken once she saw her brother walking through the icy hallways with the Empress, acting a bit strange.


Leia sat on the couch of the Rebel Council's common room as her brother came in.

"Luke, where have you been during the negotaitions? You had promised to be there." Leia said.

"Leia, I know that, me and Ahria- I mean, the Empress, have just some Force business. We've been talking for a while and she's a very understanding person." Luke told.

"Is it safe?" Leia asked.

"I know you may not trust her, but with actually getting to know her more, I am coming close to her knowledge about my father." Luke said. "You know I'm curious to what kind of person my dad was, and well, he had been close with the Empress."

"Why did you call the Empress by her name?" Leia suspiously asked.

"We may only be political friends, but we're still friends. The reason we're calling each other by our names." Luke replied.

"You actually became JUST friends with her?" Leia asked.

Luke's cheeks turned red. "Alright, I kinda fell for her beauty the moment I saw her, but I just want to know the real Empress Ahrianna Palpatine before jumping in conclusions."

"That's just so you you know." Leia said and rolled her eyes.

"Don't tell me who I am, I know you lost your interest in Han and you found another. That wizard from Earth, Severus Snape it was, am I right?" Luke asked.

"You know really everything." Leia said and sighed. "I just don't know how to tell Han."

"You will find out. Anyway, tomorrow the Nubian 'Royal' family stops by. I found out we're related to them via mom's side." Luke told.

"The Naberrie's? How did you find out?" Leia asked.

"Ahrianna showed me a few books about our father, our mother has been mentioned a few times." Luke replied.

"Who was she?" Leia curiously asked.

"If I remember it right, her name was Padmé Naberrie Amidala." Luke replied.

Leia was silent.

"Leia?" Luke asked.

"Luke, do you know who Padmé Amidala was?" Leia asked.

"Uhm, the Queen of Naboo and the last known Republic Senator, she died with the Republic, the day we were born." Luke replied.

"She was the MONARCH Queen of Naboo, if she's our mother, one of us is the heir to the throne!" Leia told.

"If you put it like that, yes it is." Luke said.

"If she is, we need to go back to the planet we were born and find out who of us was born first, and that one has to take the throne." Leia said.

"That won't be a problem right?" Luke asked.

"Luke, we don't know where we were born!" Leia replied.

"I do." Luke said. "I read it."

"Where were we born then?" Leia asked, not believing him.

"The hospital on Polis Massa. I can ask Ahrianna if we can borrow a ship or something." Luke replied.

"Polis Massa? I have to let Mon know where we are, otherwise she'll be really worried." Leia said. "We're going immediately, then we might be back before tomorrow."

"Leia, we can't go." Luke told. "All docks are closed, we have to wait 'till tomorrow night."

"Great, well, see you tomorrow. I hope we can go to Polis Massa very soon." Leia said and went to her suite. "Goodnight Luke."

"You goodnight too Ley." Luke said and also went to his suite.


Next day at 9 o'clock:

The family ship of the Naberries had landed in the Imperial Palace docks.

Ahrianna was there with her assistant Pooja.

A woman in her beginning 60ies, Pooja's mother Sola, came out of the ship, together with a younger woman in her end 30ies, Pooja's older sister Ryoo.

"Ms Naberrie, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ahrianna said.

"You're so polite, I'm sure my mother will like you." Sola said and smiled.

"Politeness is my habit, I know I can't say the same of my parents." Ahrianna said.

"That's true." Sola said.

The 4 women walked further into the palace as Leia & Luke passed by.

Ahrianna looked at Sola, who was staring in surprise at the Skywalker twins.

"Ms Naberrie, is there anything wrong?" she asked.

"That 2 over there, who are they?" Sola asked, pointing at Luke & Leia.

"That are Luke & Leia Skywalker." Ahrianna replied.

"I already thought they were familiar. But still, the girl looks like she's a Naberrie." Sola said.

"You could ask for a DNA-test if you want to be sure." Ahrianna said.

"But that would be pretty rude." Sola said.

"Not really." Ahrianna said. "I already got some DNA for you from the boy, he willingly gave it."

"Should we test it girls?" Sola asked her daughters.

Ryoo & Pooja nodded.

Ahrianna took the women to a lab on the 1st floor where Mon Calmari scientists were working.

"I give my DNA." Pooja said.

"Alright. Let's do the tests then." Ahrianna said.

The scientists took some DNA from Pooja and did the tests.

The results were straight, there was no way around.


Luke was walking alone through the Imperial Palace docking bay as C3po came to him.

"Master Luke, the Empress asks to see you and Mistress Leia in her Throne Room." C3po said.

"Leia is back in her suite, she's very nervous for the tests Ahrianna is going to take with my DNA, looking for my mother's family." Luke said.

"I can understand her nerves, the Emperess has the results." C3po said.

"I'm going immediately." Luke said.

Luke went into the Throne Room.

Ahrianna smiled at him.

Luke recognized Pooja, but the other 2 women were unfamiliar.

"Luke, meet Sola & Ryoo Naberrie, your aunt and your other cousin." Ahrianna said.

Luke smiled.

"I can't believe I have a nephew! And a handsome one too!" his aunt Sola said.

"It's nice to know I have an aunt and 2 cousins." Luke said and smiled. "I'm sure my sister will like this too."

"Oh, there's one other surprise." Ahrianna said, touching his right shoulder.

"And that is?" Luke asked.

"My Mon Calmari scientists found out which of you 2 is the oldest." Ahrianna replied.

"And?" Luke asked.

"You are the elder one." Ahrianna replied. "That means you'll be the King of Naboo."

Luke flickered with his eyes. "Really? I am a Prince?"

"Crown Prince actually." Sola replied.

"Sola, Pooja, Ryoo, please leave." Ahrianna said.

The 3 Naberrie women left.

Ahrianna turned to Luke.

"This means that, Padmé Naberrie Amidala is my mother, and I am the future King of Naboo?" Luke asked.

"It does." Ahrianna replied, striking over his right arm.

Luke sighed. "I don't know if I can be a King. I'm not built for politics."

"Luke, you are. Think back about the time you faced my father, you spoke in a politic way to him." Ahrianna said.

"That was to make clear I wouldn't turn." Luke said. "That was different!"

"No, it wasn't." Ahrianna said.

Luke looked at Ahrianna in an asking way.

"You might think I'm crazy, but I'm sure you'll be an amazing King for Naboo." Ahrianna said."You have the same qualities as another King; you're strong, brave, polite and you can place yourself in other people."

Luke sighed again. "Maybe you're right."

Ahrianna smiled at him.

Luke couldn't deny his feelings and leaned in to kiss Ahrianna, closing his eyes.

She stayed on her place and closed her eyes, letting him kiss her lips.

Ahrianna's lips felt soft, softer as his own.

Luke grabbed Ahrianna's tight hips, pulling her against his body.

He felt butterflies in his stomach.

Luke knew this was the feeling he had been looking for.

This was the love he wanted to feel.

The doors suddenly went open.

Luke & Ahrianna broke their kiss and turned their heads to the doors.

Leia, Sola, Ryoo & Pooja were standing there, all with different face expressions.

"I should have known!" Leia sighed, but smiled.

"Aw, maybe I'll have future grandnephews or grandnieces!" Sola said in happiness.

"This is amazing!" Pooja said.

Ryoo didn't say a thing, but she smiled widely.

It was enough for Luke to know the 4 women were happy to see him with Ahrianna.

"Should we inform the whole Galaxy?" Ahrianna asked.

Luke turned his head to his unofficial girlfriend.

"Nah, not the WHOLE Galaxy in one time..." he said.

"Rumors sure will reach every planet." Ahrianna said.

"They will. Let's first tell the other members of the Rebel Council." Luke said and smiled.

"Of course." Ahrianna said and kissed him on his lips.
