Recovering

Flashback:

3 ½ years after the Battle of Endor

Luke and Mara was sleeping peacefully, in each other arms. All of the sudden they woke up by the crying of their 18 months Lara.

Mara got out of the bed right away and walked to her daughter's crib, seeing her daughter, standing on, crying.

"Sweetie what is it?" she pick her up and started to rock her.

Luke was still in bed looking at them.

"What's wrong with her?" he asked sitting up.

"I don't know" Mara answered him and look back to her baby, who continue to cry and kissing her forehead she felt how hot it was.

"She is burning" she said looking concerned

Luke got out of bed immediately and rest his hand on his baby forehead and in fact she was burning.

"We better take her to the medical care" he looked to his wife, who nod. And after they getting dress, they took Lara to the medical care.

After a few minutes the doctor stopped checking on her, who was still wimping, and looked to her parents

"Yes, in fact she has a fever, but you don't need to worry about it. I see a tooth is coming out and there is reason why she feels the way she feels. I will give her a shot. It would be quicker to make the fever down quickly. You don't need to worry. She will be fine" the doctor smiled at them and then grabbed the syringe while Mara kept Lara on her lap, as the doctor pull her baby's sleeve up and inject the medicine in her arm.

Once the needle entered into her flesh the poor girl, started crying out loud. Mara heart's broke. She hated to see her baby crying.

"I know sweetie. But it would make you feel better" she said kissing the top of her head.

The poor girl, raise her little arms to her father who picked her up and his heart melt when his baby girl hid her face on his neck, crying like never before and holding his robe with her little hand, like she didn't want to let him go. Like she felt safe in his arms.

"It's okay" he said wiping his daughter tears.

She looked at him and Luke knew what she was saying

"I know, the mean Lady hurt the baby" he told "Daddy promise the mean Lady would not hurt you again" he continue, and smiled when she started to calm down as she rest her face on his chest as he rub her back, and looking the doctor he said to her

"Sorry about that"

"It is not the first time I hear people call me that, so don't worry" she smiled. "The medicine will make her feel better in no time"

"Thanks" Mara thanked and they both left to their bedroom, laying Lara between them.

After a while Mara checked her forehead and sighed in relief

"Her fever is down" as she looked to her sleeping baby

"What is it, baby?" Luke asked her

"I don't like to see her sick. I felt hopeless. I'm her mother. It is my job to protect her"

"Hey I felt the same way."

"Yet it was to you she wanted to go. She felt safe with you."

"Sweetheart, our daughter loves you."

"I know, but you two have a bond that I can't explain"

Luke looked to his daughter, sleeping form.

"I just want to enjoy her as much time as I can" he said to himself.

Present Day:

Luke was sitting on the chair, inside the room of the medical care, where Lara was, looking at her sleeping, as he remembered the time when she was 18 months and got a fever, and how she clench on him for protection when she got the shot.

They arrived a day ago, and they took her to the medical care right away where she got examined and after a few minutes, they came to him saying she would be fine and the fact that he had the reaction to give her some of his blood, safe her life.

They decided that she should stay at least 48 hours in the care just for precaution.

"May I" a voice came from the glass door and he smiled seeing his twin sister and nodding at her she entered the room, look at her niece sleeping. "How is she?"

"Better. Tomorrow she can leave the care" he answered and she pulled a chair and sat across him

"Well she is a Skywalker. She won't go down that easy" she told trying to cheer her brother up.

"She almost did. She almost died Leia"

"Almost. But she has you as her father"

Luke looked at his daughter again rest his head back on the chair.

"Did you eat something today?"

"Yes. Don't worry. I'm fine" he told her.

Leia knew her brother to well to know something else was bothering him.

"You're still thinking of her, aren't you?"

Luke sighed.

"What is troubling you, Luke?"

"Why is this happening, Leia. Why? How I will try to explain to her that her mother truly loves her, when she just saw her trying to kill her. How I'm going to do that when Mara returns."

Leia nod.

"Sometimes I think this was a mistake. That maybe if I never fall in love with Mara and married her and have kids, my life would be better."

"Luke. You know that's not true. I saw when you the first time you saw Mara. If you didn't love her, you would never tried to bring her back and you did. I saw you the day you married her how happy you were and when you two find out she was pregnant, I never saw you so happy. So I know you don't mean that"

"Of course I don't."

"You are a strong man. Out of nowhere you believe there was still good in our father and you brought him to the good side. The same with your wife. Your daughter is this sweet and strong girl, because of you. That girl adores you, since she was a baby. You two have a connection that I never saw between father and daughter. And now she needs you more than ever. Both her parents were involve in this: One tried to kill her while the other saved her. Your blood is literally running down her veins. This girl that already loved you, now she will be loyal to you more than ever. She is smart and she will see that was not her real mother. It is not going to be easy, at first. But she has you. Now you say she is mistake?"

"I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Of course she is not a mistake. I love my daughter to death. I just, I never felt so scare Leia. I feel guilty for all of this"

"Guilty for wanted her?"

"Guilty for making her going through this because she is MY DAUGHTER! Luke Skywalker daughter and she doesn't deserve it. She deserve to be a normal kid."

"She isn't a normal kid. And she never will be and I think she accepted that the first moment she accepted who she was and who her father was. She made that choice Luke. She choose her real family. And now she needs her father more than ever"

"And she has me, forever" Luke sighed standing up and heading to his daughter he smiled watching her sleeping. "She had me the first day I held in my arms"

"Then show that to her when she get out of here" Leia said to him and they walked outside the room, as started talking outside, not knowing that Lara heard everything.

What Lara would do now? How Luke will react to the fact his daughter heard the conversation between him and his sister? Will he reveal a secret that kept to himself way before she was born?
