Millennium Falcon:

Luke looked at Han as he looked out the viewport of the Falcon and, towards the massive Executor that floated in the distance, "I am glad that we made it."

Han nodded as Padme looked at him, "How are we going to do this Son?"

Luke then spoke, "We are going to contact him and see what he has to say."

Padme nodded as Leia spoke, "We are with you Luke."

Luke nodded, "Have R2 and 3PO watch the ship. Han, hail the Executor."

Han looked at Luke in shock, "Hail them?"

"How else are we going to board?"

Han shook his head in amusement as he activated his Holocom.

Executor:

Firmus Piett stood on the Command Bridge as he contemplated his Commander's stupidity in silence.

At that moment, Kirkland spoke, "Sir we are being hailed by a Corellian freighter, It is the Millennium Falcon."

"Reroute it to my projector," stated Piett as he held out a handheld Holo projector.

Within moments, Piett watched as an image of Luke Skywalker in black Jedi Robes appeared in his hand.

"This is Admiral Firmus Piett, Second in Command of the Executor."

Luke glared at Piett and spoke in anger, "I am here for my wife."

Piett nodded, "Your father has been expecting you. I am assuming that he will be meeting you in the Hanger Bay."

Luke nodded, "Tell him that If anything has happened to her that I will kill him."

"I think that he already knows that Skywalker, I am going to have you tractor beamed immediately, stand by."

Luke nodded in silence as the transmission ended.

At the same time, Piett looked over his shoulder at his nephew who was staring at him in disbelief, "Lord Vader is Skywalker's father? You knew?"

Piett nodded, "Yes I knew all along, Make sure that the information stays between you and me though, It is better that no one else knows."

"That is why you didn't take the transmission on the main computer isn't it?"

Piett nodded in silence as he spoke, "You have the Bridge Kirkland."

"Understood Uncle."

Mara Jade Skywalker awoke fearfully to examine her surroundings, The last thing that she remembered was being Darth Vader's prisoner.

She shivered as she tried to get up.

At the same time, She saw a kind looking man with grey hair above her of around fifty.

"Rest easy girl, You just almost suffered a miscarriage. You need to rest."

Mara shivered, "Where am I?"

The Man breathed in deeply, "The Med Bay of the Executor. Don't worry, I am a Doctor and I will help you. Your baby should be dead though right now, I have never seen anything like it."

Mara smiled, "It is because the baby can sense her daddy He's here, I can sense him too."

The Doctor was silent in response.

Luke walked down the ramp of the Millennium Falcon to see an Imperial Officer standing before him.

He recognized the Man as Admiral Piett whom spoke, "I wish to inform you Skywalker that I had no part of this and, I came here without asking your father."

Luke frowned, "Why should I trust you?"

"I am a husband and a Father, I too would be just as angry as you are. Now, I will take you to your wife."

At the same time, He watched as the Empire's Most wanted filed off of the Craft one By one while a dark haired woman with several weapons that he recognized as Padme Skywalker spoke, "We're going too and Make sure that My Husband knows that if one thing has happened to Mara or my grandchild that he is in for a divorce and, At this point he is on the verge of one."

Piett nodded as he motioned for everyone to follow him.

He then spoke, "I have been loyal to Vader now since I first served with him, I always knew that he wasn't perfect but to me, he is the lesser of two evils."

"The more evil being the Emperor of course," stated Leia in disgust.

"That is Correct Princess."

You would think differently if you knew some of the things that he has done to my Mother."

"I know about the Collar," stated Piett.

Luke looked at Piett in shock, "How would you know?"

"I was the one that she stunned, I have been in the middle of all of this for three years. After your Mother left, He really got more and more miserable, He would go weeks without shaving. He would get drunk more and more. The Day after he cut off your hand, He didn't wake up until the mid afternoon because he was so miserable."

Luke was silent in response as he was led to a nearby elevator.

A short time later, Piett led everyone down a hallway and, towards the Med Bay.

The Moment that the doors opened, Luke rushed towards Mara who was still Laying on a nearby Medical gurney.

He noticed a middle aged Medic nearby and, several monitors on her body.

"Mara! Thank the Force. Is our baby alright?" asked Luke.

The Doctor then spoke, "She almost lost the baby, But it was a miracle, I have honestly never before seen anything like it."

Padme then spoke, "You mean that she almost had a miscarriage?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes."

Luke shook in anger as he spoke, "What happened?"

"I-I was taken to your father's office where he really scared me, I-I just passed out and then I woke up here."

The Doctor Looked at Luke in shock ,"Vader is your father?"

Luke nodded in anger, "And your name is?"

"Doctor Reams Sir."

Luke nodded in silence as he sensed his father's approaching presence.

Vima then spoke, "I can sense him too."

Luke nodded in anger, "He will pay for this."

"Luke your baby is fine, Mara is fine, I don't think you need to go any further," stated Padme.

Luke glared at his mother and spoke, "He kidnapped my Pregnant wife and you expect me to ignore this?"

Padme frowned, "I am just as angry as you are Luke. In fact, I am ready to just give him a good hard slap."

Piett shook his head as he watched the family.

At the same time, The doors of the Med room opened, revealing Vader who was standing in the doorway clad in his usual hooded dark robe.

Vader looked at his Son as he felt his Son's cold stare upon him along with his waves of anger.

He noticed how his son was holding Mara tightly. It was obvious that the boy loved Mara and that she also loved him.

At the same time, His eyes locked upon his Angel as she stormed towards him.

Before he could blink, He felt a hard slap on his cheek followed by a shove as Padme spoke, "What the Hell were you thinking? You could have killed our Grandchild with your obsession. You need to simply leave Luke alone."

Vader hung his head in shame, "I didn't know that she was pregnant."

"You cannot defend yourself for this outrage my Lord, It is a miracle that her baby is alive," stated Piett in anger.

Padme glanced at Piett before looking at her husband, "I like him."

Vader shook his head, "He itches because it is impossible to argue with him."

Vader then looked at his Son and spoke, "Go ahead and leave, I just simply wanted to talk to you."

Luke sneered, "Oh we will talk alright but first we are going to fight."

Vader frowned, "I don't want to fight you Son."

"To bad, because I came to fight. Are you just getting a little to old to keep up Old Man?" asked Luke

At the same time, Doctor Reams spoke, "If there is going to be a fight between you two, It won't be in front of this woman and her child. She doesn't need the stress."

Mara looked at Luke fearfully, "Luke please don't fight, stay with me."

"What he did is an outrage," stated Luke as he left his wife's side.

Luke then glared at his Father and spoke, "I will see you in the Hallway unless you're to afraid to fight."

Leia and then looked at Luke and spoke, "We will join you."

Han shook his head, "No, This fight is between Vader and the Kid."

Vader glanced at his daughters and spoke, "Solo is right, It is between both of us."

Vader then glanced at Padme and spoke, "After the fight, I want to talk to you about your selection in suitors for our Son and Daughter."

There is nothing to discuss, You're the one that lost that privilege on Mustafar."

Vader was silent as he walked into the Hallway where he saw Luke waiting.

He looked at Luke and spoke, "I don't want it to be like this Son, I guess that we can't talk our way through it can we?"

Luke shook his head as he removed his robe, "No father, We can't talk through it right now. I will never join you."

"I have no desire to turn you."

Luke looked at his Father in shock, "Than what do you want?"

"A partnership until the destruction of the Emperor."

"So that you can gain more power? I won't help you gain anymore power," stated Luke in disgust.

"You will be safe to live with Mara and your Child in peace Son."

Luke in response activated his lightsaber.

Vader frowned as he removed his robe before activating his lightsaber.

Luke then Force Jumped towards his Father in rage as the two of them met blades. Luke then began a series of attacks and, within moments he was pushing his father down the nearby hallway.

Together, Father and Son fought as Vader did his best to defend himself. He wasn't used to fighting defensively, He was used to fighting offensively but with Luke's fury it was impossible.

Vader knew that they had to be broken up, He immediately used the Force and, sent a shove towards his Son as he force Jumped towards him. Luke in response back peddled as he began to make strike after strike upon his Father.

Vader smiled with pride towards his Son, "Obi-Wan has taught you well, Your skills are complete."

Luke continued to fight as he spoke, "What made you kidnap her?"

"I wanted to make peace with you Son, I don't want to fight."

"Than maybe you should have just visited me yourself Old Man instead of sending one of your twerps."

"Jix is hardly a twerp."

"Any man that kidnaps a pregnant woman is a twerp."

"He was just following orders, He didn't know that she was pregnant."

"Stop defending your Actions Father, You had no right to do what you did," yelled Luke.

Vader in response blocked another strike as he delivered a strike towards his son before speaking, "If we just put our differences to the side, We can defeat Palpatine together."

"So you can twist my Sister's minds?" asked Luke in disgust.

Vader shook his head, "It is to late for me but I won't let any of you end up like me."

"How kind of you for caring Father," replied Luke with a sneer.

Piett looked at Padme and spoke, "They are going to kill each other."

Padme nodded, "I know, we need to stop them. Do you have an idea?"

Piett nodded, "I need to use one of the Computers in the Hallway. But, I need someone to locate them so that I can separate them."

"How will you separate them?" asked Han.

"With Ray Shields."

Vima then spoke, "I can locate them precisely with the Force and do the job."

Piett nodded, "Then come with me."

He then looked at Padme and spoke, "Then, They can talk."

Padme nodded in silence.

Luke and Vader continued to fight his father as they moved through the Hallways of the Executor focusing on nothing but their opponent.

Vader was fairly disappointed that he didn't anticipate Luke's anger. If someone had kidnapped Padme while she was pregnant, he would have been just as angry.

"Luke I'm sorry."

Luke shook his head, "Sorry isn't good enough right now Father. It isn't going to help you. I am not in the mood to hear your apology."

Vader frowned as he blocked another overhead chop that his son made.

At the same time, An unseen Force blasted them apart.

Vader lost his Lightsaber and, he also noticed that Luke had lost his lightsaber.

Together, Father and Son stood up to see an energy like force between them as Vader spoke, "Ray Shields."

"Who would trap us like this?" asked Luke.

Vader then spoke, "Piett."

Padme watched her Husband and Son on Camera before looking at Piett, "Thank you."

Piett smiled, "No problem, The kid really helped though."

Vima smiled as Padme spoke. "I am going to go and talk to them. I want someone to stay with Mara."

"She wants to join us," stated Leia.

Padme frowned as Vima spoke, "She is part of the family, I think she should have the right to be present."

Padme nodded as she walked down the Hallway with her family following her.

Piett at the same time noticed Han follow as his Wookiee remained behind.

Han then spoke, "Chewie aren't you coming Pal?"

"It is your family Cub. You should start to get to know them. Vader is going to be your Father in Law someday."

"Thanks a lot for the reminder Pal."

Piett then spoke, "Certainly a Family that I would never marry into."

Han shook his head as he turned and left.

Father and Son stood face to face with the Ray shields blocking them. Luke glared at his father in anger as Vader frowned. Luke then spoke, "I want to just rip your arms off right now."

"I could tell based on how you were acting Son," stated Vader.

"When will Piett let us out? He won't hear the end of this," stated Vader.

"He is saving both of you from fighting. Really, You should be sitting in prison Anakin. You had a slave Collar welded on my Neck, That can certainly qualify as spousal abuse and illegal enslavement and, You kidnapped our pregnant Daughter in Law. Should I go on?" asked Padme in anger as she approached the two men.

Leia then spoke, "You tortured me, You cut Luke's hand off and, You almost killed his baby. I will finish for Mom."

"You never did listen to her when you should have. You should have listened back on Mustafar," stated Han.

Vader glared at Han in anger, "You have no right to..."

"He certainly has every right to say so, He has saved Luke's life Multiple times and, He is the only Man that ever has a chance of marrying our daughter," stated Padme in anger.

"And you approve?" asked Vader in exasperation.

"Maybe you should look the Durasteel Pipe that is sticking out of your eye before you look at the dirt in our eyes," stated Luke in anger.

"Like Mom said, You're the one that sent Jix to kidnap a pregnant woman," added Vima in anger.

Padme then spoke, "both of you are far to stupid to back down. We had to separate you before one of you killed the other. You and Luke are both equally stupid when it comes down to fighting," stated Padme.

"Thanks a lot for the encouragement," stated Vader and Luke in unison

"What discussion would we be having if I had lost the baby?" asked Mara.

"Padme would be giving me divorce papers to sign most likely," stated Vader.

"Oh not even these ray shields would have stopped me, I would have killed you before she divorced you," stated Luke.

Padme then spoke, "Would you have been any different Anakin?"

Vader shook his head, "I would have torn them apart limb by limb."

Vader then spoke, "I already apologized, What more do you want?"

"An Apology isn't good enough," stated Luke in anger.

Vader nodded in silence.

Vader then spoke, "Alright, I have made a mistake. Go ahead and leave then now that you have your wife."

Luke shook his head, "Get me out of these ray Shields first!"

Padme then spoke, "Admiral, I think that that is good enough."

As the Ray Shields were deactivated, Vader used the Force to Summon Luke's Lightsaber along with his own to his hand.

Padme then spoke, "Give me the lightsabers."

Vader looked at Padme in silence as she spoke, "Anakin, It will be better this way. Give them to me!"

Vader hesitated for a moment before handing both lightsaber Hilts to Padme as she took them both.

Luke in an effort to control himself, headed over towards Mara as he scooped her up in his arms and kissed her.

Vader once again hung his head in shame. If things had gone the way that they had almost gone, He would have ruined the happiness that his Son and Mara had, if they had lost the baby.

Vader then spoke, "Listen, I realize that I crossed the line today..."

"You can say that again," stated Vima.

Vader then spoke, "Mara, How much do you remember about your past?"

Mara frowned, "Nothing really."

"Do you have questions that you would like to have answered?" asked Vader.

Mara immediately spoke, "I would like to know about my parents and if they loved me or not. Or even how old I am."

Vader thought for a moment, "You're just a few months past your seventeenth birthday right now. I can find your actual birth date and give it to you along with the names of your parents."

"What happened to them?" asked Mara.

Vader frowned, "The Emperor killed them both. He was on some trip to the planet that they were hiding on when he sensed them. He fought them personally and, he killed them both and took you. You were about two years old when it happened."

Luke held Mara tightly as she spoke, "Were they Jedi?"

Vader nodded, "Survivors of Order Sixty Six, both of them were."

"Did you know them?" asked Luke.

Vader shook his head, "I knew who they were but not personally, they were both at least fifteen years older than me."

Luke nodded in silence as Padme spoke, "I think that we are ready to go now."

Vader nodded, "I will go and collect that data for Mara right now. Luke, I have something for you by the way."

Luke nodded as Padme spoke, "I have a lot of clothing that I didn't take when I ran, Can I please collect a few things?"

Vader nodded, "Admiral, Take my wife and Vima into my quarters and assist them."

Piett nodded in silence as Luke held his wife tightly before following Vader with Luke at his side.

Padme at the same time handed the lightsabers to Mara.

A short time later, Luke found himself in Vader's office with Mara at his side as he saw his father access his Computer.

After a few moments, Vader handed a Datapad to Mara, "Right there is everything that I know about you and your parents."

At the same time, Vader reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a lightsaber that Luke recognized.

It was Ben's lightsaber, Luke watched as his Father set it on the desk, "I am unworthy of this weapon Son, I think that Ben would rather have it in the hands of a true Jedi Knight. Take it Son."

Luke picked up the Lightsaber and examined it before speaking, "What did you do with his body?"

Vader shook his head, "There was no body."

Luke frowned, "No Body?"

Vader shook his head, "I have only heard of it happening to the greatest Jedi Masters, The Force must have favored him because his body dissolved and became one with it. I burned his robes after taking the lightsaber."

Luke nodded, "Thank you."

Mara then placed Vader's lightsaber onto the table as she handed her Husband his Lightsaber.

Luke took his lightsaber as Vader spoke, "Give my your Comlink."

Luke nodded as Vader pounded in the frequency.

"When you're ready to meet again Please call me."

Luke nodded as Padme stood in the doorway, "How do I know that you won't come after us again?"

Vader frowned, "I give you my word."

"Your word?" asked Padme.

Vader breathed in deeply as Piett entered the room, "With all of the witnesses, I swear on my Mother's honor and on her grave that I won't come unless Luke calls me."

Padme nodded, "Now this is a promise that I know that you will honor. Thank you Anakin, Next time call first before you send thugs," stated Padme in disgust as she continued, "Come on Luke we are leaving."

Luke nodded as he walked out of the room with his wife and Mother while Vader stayed behind with Piett in silence.

Padme looked at Luke and spoke, "I am glad that we have this behind us, He really has gone to far."

Luke nodded, "Is the wedge between the two of you going to be permanent now?"

"It almost became just that," stated Padme.

Luke nodded as he approached the Falcon.

Han immediately spoke, "Alright Kid we're good to go, Come on."

Luke nodded as he boarded the Falcon.

He noticed Vima and Leia sitting next to R2 and 3PO as 3PO spoke, "Mistress Mara it is so wonderful to see you safe and undamaged."

"Thank you 3PO," replied Mara as R2 beeped.

"R2 expresses his relief a well."

Mara smiled as Luke wrapped his arms around her. Han at the same time spoke, "Back to Naboo kid? How long do we have to pack?"

"Don't worry about it, Vader won't come after us," stated Padme.

"How can you be sure?" asked Leia.

"He just took an oath on his Mother's grave and honor. There is no way that he will break it. Believe me, I know him," stated Padme.

Leia nodded in silence as Han eagerly

headed back into the cockpit.

Alright that is it, I hate it when people leave cliffhangers that last for a month or longer. My Policy is if possible, To have it taken care of a day later at the most unless the Chapter is to critical and needs more time. Thank you For reading and Reviewing. More will be up soon.
