Thank you to Elen, Guest, Anon, LOVEM, Sue, Daisy and Connors for their reviews. Once again you are amazing, Just like everyone who read my story even without reviewing. Here we have another sweet moment between father and daughter.

Father/daughter bond

Luke was heading to his headquarters, to have a nice rest. It has being a difficult 48 hours and he really needed a rest.

"Master Luke" Cal called him, making Luke stop and turn around, seeing the young Jedi Knight, running towards his direction. He knew what the young man wanted, his daughter had told him during dinner, in many of the mind conversations they usual have. It was something that Luke and Lara had being done, even when she was little and only Luke and Lara would do and nobody else could hear them. But he let the boy talk.

"Hello Cal. What do you want?"

"Well" the young man started a little nervous. "I want to ask your permission for…" He didn't know how to ask what he wanted to ask, which made Luke smile. He sensed the boy was nervous. He couldn't make this poor boy having a heart attack or something

"If you ask my blessing for you to start dating Lara, I already gave that to her during dinner time"

Cal looked at him surprised

"She told you?"

"She told me you two kiss on top of the tower before dinner time, yes"

Cal was surprised by that revelation.

"When? I don't remember seeing you two talking"

"We don't need to talk physically to have a conversation" he said pointing to his temple.

"I didn't hear anything" Cal said.

"That's because it is a thing between father and daughter. When you have my grandchildren you will know what I mean" Luke smiled

"Grandchildren!" Cal repeated it "So are you okay?"

"I know you for a long time. You are a good man and a good Jedi. I'm glad that my daughter has you to take care of her when I'm gone from this physical world" Luke smiled to him

"I will take care of her. I promise"

"But that doesn't mean I will not protect her. After all I'm her father and if you hurt her…" he didn't finish the sentence

"Hurt me? Who will hurt me?" Lara appeared next to him and looked from Cal to Luke.

"I'm just saying that he needs to be careful if he hurts you"

Lara just rolled her eyes

"Well if he hurts I kick him myself. After all I can defend myself, I learn from the best" she smiled to her father.

"You two have my blessing but behave" he said pointing his index finger smiling at them, as he turn to head to his bedchambers

Lara smiled to him and he walked by and calling him

"Father"

"Yes" he said turning to face her

"You know you will always be my number 1" she smiled to him and Luke smiled back at her and left.

She turned to Cal

"So. I was about to spend time with my cousins and Grogu. Want to come?" she said standing her hand to him.

Grabbing it he got close to her and kissing her quickly on the lips as they walked to meet Jaina, Jacen and Anakin who were with Grogu.

It was late night and Luke was sitting on his bed, under the covers, with the Jedi Path on his hands. He was trying to focus on his reading, but he couldn't stop thinking of his wife. He rest his head back and remembered the fight he had with her back in Geonosis. It was the first time he was with her after 14 years and he missed her so much. He missed having her in his arms, to have her next to him in bed and he remembered when Lara asked him for a little brother and smiling he started to want to be a father again. He wanted his wife back to him and to their daughter.

He was about to return to his reading when he felt something but before he could react, the door of his bedchamber opened and Lara entered in, in her nightgown breathing heavily. He knew what happened, she had a nightmare.

"Father can I sleep here with you?"

Luke smiled to her. Right now she looked like when she was 3 and every time she had a nightmare she ran to sleep between him and Mara.

"Please" she begged. Luke sighed and pulling the covers aside she ran towards him and getting under the covers she wrapped her arms around him resting her head on his chest.

"You don't need to be afraid. Nobody will take you anymore" he assure her putting the book away.

"I can't sleep alone here. I close my eyes and I'm on that lab again. I want to go home" she said while Luke pressing his lips on the top of her head.

"We will in a few days. I promise" he assure her. "You know at least we came to your father's bedchambers instead of your boyfriend's" he laughed when Lara looked at him and slap his arm.

"Father!"

Luke continue to laugh which make Lara laugh with him.

"Now that is a laugh I miss hearing since you were a little girl. And that is how I want to see you: Happy and not afraid"

Lara nod and then became serious, which made Luke look at her

"What is it?"

"When I was in the tower, before Cal call me for dinner"

"Yeah Cal called you and in between you two decided to share a kiss" Luke said teasing her as he crossing his arms and Lara sat on the bed next to him

"As I was saying, when I was there alone, I remembered something. I remembered when my adopted mother died. She knew who I was and who my father was"

Luke looked at her and sat straight

"She knew and she didn't try to find me and bring you back to me?"

"Please don't be mad at her. She felt guilty all those years. Before she died she asked me to tell you she was sorry. But she got attached to me, because they couldn't have kids and the idea of not see me again, made her sad. She never forgave herself. She said that I look exactly like you"

Luke nod. He couldn't be mad at the woman. After all she took care of her and raised her the right away.

"It is weird that my life change so much in 2 months. One day I didn't know who my real parents were, I had another name, I was always the orphan and poor girl. And then, I found out that my father is the legendary Luke Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. That my name is Lara. I have an aunt and uncle and 3 cousins and my mother is also alive."

"It must have being so strange. After all my life change too. My daughter is back into my arms and my wife is also alive."

"When I was strapped, that man: Thrawn, he told me that the bond I share with you was strong. What did he mean by that? I know we share a connection that Jaina don't have with Uncle Han or Jacen or Anakin."

Luke nod

"I knew I would lost you, like I told you before. So I made sure I share a bond with you, so in the future I would know who you were the first moment I set eyes on you. Which it happened. When I saw you, that day I knew it was you right there."

Lara thought of the first day she met him in the Jedi Temple.

"I felt something too. Somehow I felt a sensation of safeness when I was around you. And now that I'm thinking, the force manifest for the first time on the same day you arrived at Coruscant. Do you think that the force did that so our paths could cross?"

Smiling, Luke stroke her hair and rest his hand on her right cheek

"I'm sure it was."

"And now our bond is even stronger" she said looking at her right arm where there was a small round scar, equal to the scar her father had on his left one.

"Yes it is"

"How did you know about the force and became a Jedi?" she asked him

"I thought Ava had told you everything about me?"

"Well what better way to hear that from the man himself. Tell me?" she asked him again.

"Alright. Come here, it will be just like when you were little" he said opened his arms which she accepted and resting her head on his chest, he pull the covers up as he started.

"Well it all started when Jawas sold C-3PO and R2 to my Uncle Owen to help us on the farm. What we didn't know was that R2 had a secret message from your aunt Leia"

"But you didn't know she was your sister, right?"

"No, I only found much later. As I was saying, that secret message was for Obi Wan, that I always knew as Ben Kenobi. I didn't even know his name was Obi until I met him, because R2, being the sneaky droid he always was, ran in the middle of the night to go after Ben. Which made me and C-3PO get up earlier in the morning to get him before my Aunt and Uncle woke up"

"I'm glad R2 did that. Because if he didn't, probably you would be dead too"

Luke thought of that, and she was right.

"You're right." and he continue to tell her the rest of the story how he met Ben and then Han and Chewie.

He was so focus on the memories, that he didn't even notice Lara stopped hearing right after he went to Dagobah to meet Master Yoda

"I think you better start from the moment you met Master Yoda cause I think she stop hearing after that part" Luke heard and looking to the door he smiled at the sight of his twin sister and then looked down to Lara's sleeping form.

"I think I should" he said as Leia entered and sat on the bed looking at them

"It looks like when she was little and used to fell asleep on your chest" she replied.

Luke smiled as he stroke Lara's hair.

"No matter I old she is, she will always be my little girl."

Leia smiled at her brother

"But I thought you were sleeping by now. Something happened?" he asked her

"Yes. I forgot to tell you. Senator Odin was dismissed from the Senate."

"I figure that would happen after what he did" he said holding Lara, who was still fast asleep, tightly on his arms. "Who it will be the next Senator?"

"They ask me" she told him

"And?"

"I said yes"

Luke smiled at her

"I'm happy for that. We will be together again. And I'm glad that the kids will be all together again"

"Me too. We will leave a few days after you two."

"Yes. I think it is time for going back home. Ahsoka and Ezra are in the Jedi Temple for too long now. It is time for us to return." he grabbed Leia's hand.

"It will be like old times" she laughed as she stood up

"I hope not literally" he laughed back remembering the adventures they had back then.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight sis"

As Leia left the room closing the door behind her, Luke lay back on his bed, making sure Lara didn't woke up and sighing he thought that he only need was his wife for his family being complete. And kissing the top of his daughter's head, he turn off the light and fell asleep.

And the whole family will return to Coruscant, where Mara will return but the peace will not last longer for Luke. He will see the future and it is not good. Only his daughter and the bond they share can save him. What will be? In the future chapters you will know.
