I slowly pulled my lips up and then released, staring at Leia. "Ha-" She started, but then dropped her lightsaber and fell backwards onto the floor, her eyes closing.
"LEIA!" I screamed, rushing to her side and grabbing her head. "Leia?" I asked. "LUKE GOD DAMN IT BOY, HELP ME!!!" I screamed, and Luke ran towards me, placing a hand on her forehead. "Is she dead?" I asked and Luke looked at me weird.
"Of course not, Han!!!"
"Well then wake her up!!!" I demanded. This boy gets dumber and dumber everyday.
"Leia? Leia…" He said, shaking her shoulders from side to side. "Leia?" He asked again, and she moaned.
"Leia?" I asked cautiously and she opened up her eyes, staring at mine. Luke got up and stepped away from us. My hand was on Leia's stomach and my other was behind her head. I looked up at the kid and he smiled and nodded his head at me. "Leia? You okay?" I asked and she smiled at me.
"Why wouldn't I be okay, you nerfherder?" I HAD HER BACK!!!
"LEIA!!!" I screamed, picking her up and twirling her around, pulling her fragile form close to my body. "Oh goddess Leia, you gave us all a fright." I kissed the top of her head again and again and then sighed in relief.
"I shouldn't have done it." She shook her head.
"I know." I smiled at her. "But I forgive you. As long as you never do it again, you hear?"
"I hear ya loud and clear…sweetheart."
"HEY! That's my nickname!!!"
"That's why I called you it, didn't I?"
I was just about to respond when we both heard a different voice. "SENATOR LEIA ORGANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Mon Mothma.
Sith.
"What is the meaning of this???" She cried, walking around the piles of dead bodies.
"Look, I can explain. I didn't mean to-"
"Leia." She said in a strict tone. "You did this?" She eyed her warily.
"Er….Yes." I watched Mon Mothma's face turn pure white. "But I wasn't myself! I didn't mean to!!!"
"Senator. You know the consequences for this horrible tragedy, right?"
Oh no.
"No…." Leia started, looking at me and then at Luke, who had the same exact surprised and shocked look on his face, and then back at Mon Mothma.
"Well since you don't know, you will just have to find out in your trial then, won't you?" She snorted. "I can't believe you, Senator. You have disappointed not only me, but the entire society of Coruscant. You have disappointed the entire galactic senate!!! Turning to the dark side? Never have I thought of something that drastic, and it sounds even worse coming from you! You disappoint me senator. You even disappointed your own boyfriend and brother. I'm so disappointed and ashamed to have you in the senate." She shook her head and then walked away, leaving the three of us standing there, our mouths agape.
"Han, hold me."
"What?"
"Hold me Han. Just hold me." She demanded in a soft tone as she opened her arms wide and wrapped them around my waist. She started to silently cry into my shirt and I rubbed her back and kissed her head a couple of times.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, princess." I said.
At the trial…
"Why are they doing it this early?" Leia asked.
"You've become 'a threat'." I laughed and Leia punched me, no playful parts involved. "OW!" I hollered out.
"Good. You deserved it." She nodded her head and finally the judge came out with the verdict.
"Okay, after hearing
both sides of the case, the jury has decided that Senator Leia Organa
is guilty."
WHAT???
"She will be removed from the galactic senate and will be put into the galactic jail for 1 month before she will be executed. Trial adjourned."
Mon Mothma's POV
I got up and sighed.
I didn't want her to get executed, but she killed off half of the Coruscant galactic senate. I turned and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a scene that nearly broke my heart in two.
Leia and Han were sitting in their seats, and Leia was curled up into a ball in Han's arms. Han was kissing her head and she was crying like mad.
But, the next thing I heard broke my heart.
"I only turned to save you, and now I'm facing not your death, but mine!"
