Zara wrinkled her nose as she tried to stir the thick cookie batter. Han reached around her with a strong, but gentle hand and helped her. Zara looked up at her father and smiled.

"Daddy, you're strong."

Han grinned. "You'll get stronger too when you grow up, baby."

"Is Mommy as strong as you?" Zara asked.

Han looked over at Leia who was flouring a cutting board and smiled. "Mommy's strong in different ways than Daddy is."

"Is Mommy smarter than you?" Zara asked with a toothy grin. The littlest of the Solo children thought the sun rose and set with her father.

"A lot smarter," Han replied.

"Daddy must be hoping for an extra special present if he's being this nice," Leia said with a knowing smile.

"Hey, I'm always this nice," said Han.

Leia rolled her eyes. "Some things never change."

"Do you want to sprinkle the chopped nuts in?" Han asked, ignoring Leia.

Zara shook her head. "That's Esme's favorite part. She should do it."

Han chuckled and kissed the top of Zara's head, feeling very proud of his thoughtful little girl.

"Thank you, Zara," Esme said, kissing her sister on the cheek. Esme sprinkled in the nuts as Han and Zara continued to stir.

Jacob spoke up from his stool at the counter. He'd been organizing and reorganizing the shaped cookie cutters. "Dad, you never told us what you wanted this year."

Han shrugged. "I really don't need anything"

Zara sighed. "Daddy, presents aren't about what you need. They're about what you want."

"She's right you know," Ben said, showing off a grin similar to his father's. "Like I don't need a speeder bike, but…."

"You're not getting a speeder," Leia said sternly.

"Oh, come on!" Ben grumbled.

"When you're older we'll think about it," said Han.

"I bet Uncle Luke had a speeder when I was my age!"

"Yeah, you know what else he had? Farm chores! You want a few of those?" Han asked, giving his son his best 'dad' look.

Ben sighed. "Fine."

Han turned his attention back to his daughters and their baking. "Alright, who wants to put the chocolate chips in?"

"I do!" Breha said with the excitement of a child. Breha put in both white and milk chocolate pieces, sneaking one of each into her mouth.

"Hey!" Han teased her, nudging her with his elbow.

Breha grinned. "Sorry."

Han shook his head, scrunching his nose at her. "No you're not."

Breha laughed. "You're right. I'm not."

Han gave Breha a kiss on the temple. "That's ok. I might have snuck a few in myself."

"Daddy, those are for the cookies," Zara giggled.

"The cookies have enough chocolate," Han said.

"You can never have enough chocolate!" Leia said, reaching into the bag of white chocolate chips.

"Aright," Han said with a chuckle. "Let's get this dough rolled out."
