Coming up behind Mara, Luke wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled.
"How did it go with your mother?" He asked. Mara let out a small groan.
"Luke, how do you think it went? She's my mother, I guess. I can't…I'm not ready to have a family like that too!" Mara moaned.
"You still want…our family?" Luke asked quietly. He was worried, ever since the other night that he would wake up and not find Mara there.
"I do Luke. Very much." Mara whispered back. Luke let out a breath of relief.
"We'll be okay Mara. Don't worry."
"I want to get married Luke." Mara whispered again, turning in his arms to face him.
"I want to get married too Mara, and we will, when you're ready." Luke smiled, reassuringly.
"No, I want to get married now." She said, her mind already turning.
"Now? But Mara, I thought you wanted your freedom!" Luke said, stuttering slightly.
"Yes, now. Before anything else wrong happens to us. Luke, I can't take another episode like that. If I know you, which I'd have to believe I do, you'd never pin me down or anything, right?"
"No, never Mara. But, this is a big step. I want to be sure its what you want…" Luke said, still in shock.
"I'm not having a baby out of wedlock." Mara frowned.
"We can't get married now but I'll call Leia and we'll arrange it for tomorrow. Is tomorrow good?" Luke said, thinking things through.
"Yes, if that's the earliest you can get everyone. Tomorrow, we'll get married." Mara smiled, and pulled his head down for a passionate kiss.
"Aleese!" Padme smiled and took her long time friend into a warm hug. "Just saw Mara?"
"Yes, I wanted to…fix things." She grinned slightly.
"And did you?"
"I don't know, Pad. I mean, I think she's just afraid of having a family again. I think she resents me not coming for her sooner. I didn't know…" Aleese sighed lightly.
"I know, I'm having the same problem with Leia. Maybe it's a mother daughter thing."
"I suppose. You talked to her yet?"
"Yeah, I just got back from talking to her in fact. I wanted to 'fix' things too." Padme smiled.
"And?"
"Well, I think she's accepted it as truth. She's started relaxing around me again. When I first met her, I was so worried. I mean, she shrugged me off so quickly. But, after thinking it over a while, I realized that I probably would have done the same thing in her situation. She's so much like me, its scary. I mean…she put others before her own needs, her brother and his girlfriend. She's into politics like I was. I'm just so proud of my children, Aleese, Luke and Leia have fixed everything that Anakin and I managed to screw up in the galaxy. It's nice to have my son and daughter. I guess that Anakin did bring Balance to the Force, through Luke and Leia."
"Yes, I know. It's…still frightening though. And it hurts inside, to know that you missed out on your children's lives."
"I know," was all that Padme could say.
A/N: This was another broth chapter; mostly to finish tying up those loose ends you guys were so curious about. So, tada! Now we are gonna get into the real good stuff!! YAY!!
So, how about…I dunno..20? Yeah, 20!
