Nineteen Years Old and Parents
"Come on, sweetheart, it's ok," Jaren tried to reassure his girlfriend as she lay sweating on the bed before him. "Sssh," he whispered, as much for her benefit as for his own. Jaren looked over at Luke and Mara, who were huddled at Leia's other side to offer comfort. It was at that very moment, when he looked at his friend Mara, that a moan escaped from her lips as well as those of Leia's.
"Mara!" Luke cried, catching her as she swooned. Luke and Jaren met eyes and Jaren nodded. "Come on, love, we are taking you to your room now. So can be comfortable," Luke whispered to Mara as she regained consciousness.
"N-n-no," Mara muttered amid gasps of pain. Luke looked worried, as he thought that the contractions had just begun. "Luke, don't worry, I wanted to stay for Leia's baby," she explained as Luke helped her lay down on the ground.
* Father, we need your help! * Luke called to his father just as the latter burst into the door followed by medical staff.
"I was in a planetary meeting when I felt your pain through the Force," Vader nodded to Leia as he thundered in his deep voice. "I left the system as soon as my shuttle was prepared. Regrettably, it took a few hours to reach Peace," Vader spoke of the super 'star destroyer' that had been converted into the home base of the four teens and their trainers.
