Corridor heading towards the Docking Bay
Leia still could not get over the fact that her brother, the nerfherder that he was, blurted out that her father use to be Darth Vader! She didn't want the others in the Rebel High Command to know this, but it was too late now! As she was heading towards the Falcon, she felt the presence of her father following her!
She decided she better stop so she can hear whatever he had to say, and then leave him! She didn't have long to wait because he was there in a matter of seconds. They looked at each other not knowing what to say until Anakin broke the ice between them.
"Look Leia, I know you hate me right now, but like your brother said, let go of your hatred for they will lead you down the Dark Side. I should know. If I had known your mother was alive, I would have done everything possible to make sure you and everyone else in the family were safe." Anakin said in remorseful voice.
"I'm sure you would have. But why didn't you try to look for us instead of serving that monster?! I had to grow up in a family that I thought was mine, only to find out a few years ago that I was adopted! I tried asking my adopted parents about my real parents, but they kept saying that I was the best thing to ever happen to them, and that I should be happy I was in a loving, caring household." Leia said with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"If I had known you were my daughter on the Death Star, I would have made sure you had escaped and stopped that idiot Tarkin from destroying Alderaan. But the Emperor made sure to put spies everywhere on the station to prevent that from happening. If I could change the past Leia, I would." Anakin said with tears forming in his eyes as well.
"Did you want a girl or a boy when mom told you she was pregnant?" Leia asked.
"I wanted a girl that I could spoil rotten. I guess Bail Organa did pretty well in that department. If there was someone that could raise you besides me, it would have been him. I'm proud of you Leia. You and your brother mean so much to me." He told her with a heartfelt voice.
"I'd wished I had known you growing up, I'm sure you would have kept the boys off from me." Leia said with a small smile.
"I'm sure your brothers would have beaten me to the punch on that one. I had a shiver the other day about raising the three of you. You and Brian would have caused the most trouble while poor Luke would have been the patsy. Just picture getting into trouble and having to stand before the Jedi Council each time." He said before laughing a bit.
Leia had to laugh at this too, for they would have been in front of the Council who knows how many time for what they would have done over the years! She finally went up to her father and hugged him! He slowly returned the hug and they stood there for it seemed like an eternity. They finely broke the hug and headed back to the conference to start to go over plans to end Palpatine once and for all!
