Jillian's Apartment – After Dinner

After the twins and Brianna had gone to bed, Jillian and Brian were left alone in the living room. They sat down on the couch, separated by a pillow. Jillian decided to move the pillow, and then nuzzle up next to Brian. Brian was surprised by the move, and decided to wrap his arm around her.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked.

"I'm sure. I missed having you next to me on nights like this." She said while smiling up at him.

He then took a chance and leaned down to give her a kiss. She returned the kiss with passion. They continued for a few minutes more before they came up for air.

"I've missed you Jillian." Brian said while looking into her beautiful eyes.

"And I have missed you." She said while standing up.

Brian didn't know what to do. Jillian then grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch. She then led him to her bedroom for some 'special' time that they had not had together in a long time.

Outside the Falcon

Han and Chewie had finished working on the Falcon to make sure she was ready for her next mission. As they were leaving, Han was smacked upside his head by a mad redhead by the name of Mara Jade-Skywalker! Han raised his hand to his face to where she had smacked him.

"SOLO! YOU'RE A NO GOOD, KRIFFING, SONAOFANERFHERDER! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO BRIAN THE OTHER NIGHT! HE'S TRYINGTO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND YOU HAD TO OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH AND REMIND HIM OF HIS PAST FOR THOSE FEW DAYS THAT HE WAS A SITH! YOU HAD NO PROBLEM WITH ANAKIN, BUT WITH BRIAN, YOU DO! I WANT ANSWERS NOW!" Mara yelled at him.

Chewie was glad that it wasn't him, even though Mara could not smack him, he knew she would get him some other way.

"Wait a second Red! I was treated to a tongue lashing by Leia after Brian that night, and then again after lunch the next day by both Padme and Anakin. They made me feel bad about what I said, and was going to apologize to him the next time I saw him." Han explained to her.

"Why didn't you do that sooner?!" Mara seethed through her teeth.

"I wasn't sure of what to say to him, and if he would accept my apology." Han said in a solemn voice.

"Solo, for some reason, you are having a hard time saying Brian's name. What gives?" She wanted to know.

Chewie wanted to know as well. He saw Brian a couple of days after Brian came back, and Chewie accepted him again after what had happened. Chewie spoke his concern to his friend.

"I don't know guys. It's hard not to keep seeing him with those yellow eyes and threatening to kill Leia and I, and then turning Jaina and Jacen into Sith. You must still have some resentment towards him." Han said to them.

"I've forgiven, but not forgotten Solo. And before you say anything, I did the same thing with Anakin as well. You need to do the same. So get over yourself and grow up before I do something that I won't regret!" Mara said before storming away from Han and Chewie.

Han knew that Mara was right. He was going to see Brian tomorrow, and apologize to him and hopefully Brian would accept. Chewie voiced his view on what happened, and Han just made a face and left his friend for the night.
