Author's Note:  WOW!  I never expected such a reaction, but now I'm glad I spent the time to start writing again.  I guess its school, it puts me in the mood!  Thank you all for your comments!

Unfathomable – Part Two

~By Aleese Sundancer

            "Uncle Luke, uncle Luke!" Jaina and Jacen screamed in unison, followed by a much softer "Unc Lukie!" from younger Anakin.  As he entered the Solo Suite the morning after a long discussion with Leia, Luke took a quick look around and flashed a smile at Han.

            Luke could only laugh as he took the twins into his arms for hugs, and then bent down to give Anakin a similar one.  "How are you doing, my young Jedi?"

            "Good Uncle Luke.  We did some pictures for you.  Did you wanna see?  Mine's better than Jasa's cause its got more colours and cause Anakin scribbled on Jasa's and so I didn't let him near mine…" Jaina went about in her singsong voice.  Meanwhile, Jacen was also telling him about the small bird that had landed on his windowsill, and Anakin pulled at his shirt for attention.

            "Alright Kids, one at a time.  I'm only human!"

            "Unc Lukie!" Anakin quietly muttered. "Where's Aunti Mara?"

            Luke looked down at Anakin, slightly startled.  "Aunti Mara?"

            "Ya, you dreamed of her last night, I sawed you." Anakin quietly replied as Luke took him up into his arms.

            "Aunti Mara? Why do you call her Aunti?" Luke frowned slightly.

            "Don't worry much about it Luke.  He calls everyone female Aunti.  Winter, Iella, Mirax….  But…you were dreaming of her?" Leia grinned, as if she was in on some secret.

            "Leia, I love you to death, but don't even think about it.  I just briefly saw her in a dream, probably someone out to kill me. You know how symbolic they are." Luke grinned.

            "Ah Luke, its good to have you home." Leia smiled.

            "Glad to have you back, Kid.  Finally, someone sane I can talk to while Leia's at work.  Threepio has been driving me off the deep end."

            "It wasn't far, Han." Luke grinned.

            "Mr. Threeps!" Anakin giggled and wiggled his arms around Luke's neck, singing a song he'd dreamt up about Threepio softly into Luke's ear. 

            Mara groaned as she woke up, and stretched out on the bed.  She hated these harder mattresses, they were never as comfortable as she was used to back at home, or even on the Fire. 

            "Good morning Sunshine, I've made you breakfast!" Lando called from the other room, knocking gently on her door.  Mara groaned and hid herself under the covers.

            "If you even think about opening that door…" Mara called out to him, menacingly.

            Not that Lando cared, as he threw open the door and put a tray of bacon and eggs beside her bed.  Carefully, he poked the bundle of sheets that was Mara.  "A little Cocoon of Mara Jade.  A different side of you…." He cheerfully joked, but was cut off as the end of a blaster appeared from under the blankets and poked him in the belly.

            "Go away, I'm sleeping." Mara muttered, and poked him again.

            "Come now Mara, it's a beautiful new day…"

            "You sound like Skywalker.  Go away, and don't disturb me until it's a beautiful new afternoon."

            "Why so tired? Didn't you sleep all right? Should I call a doctor?" Lando asked quietly, his voice betraying his slight worry.

            "It was a long night, and you weren't the one who had to keep dancing with the Union Rep."  

            "You were the most beautiful woman on the floor, you outshined the moon, the stars and the…" Lando droned on, until Mara promptly poked him again in the ribs with her side blaster, just a bit harder. "You've earned it my dear, I'll give you the rest of the morning for your beauty sleep. You deserve it."

            "Thank the Force." Mara muttered and waited until she heard the door closed.  Slowly, she peeked her head out of the covers and looked around.  Ordinarily, she wasn't an early riser, but she did want to take this opportunity to take a walk while Lando thought she was sleeping. Naive fool.  She quickly ate the meal he'd prepared and ducked out the window to one of Coruscants beautiful gardens.

            "Lets go for a walk Uncle Luke?  Please?  You can tell us stories about the Jedi and we can tell you about dad and Threepio and school…" Jacen and Jaina begged him. 

            "Luke, you really should get some fresh air. You probably didn't even go on your run this morning, since you were so eager to see the kids.  Besides, the kids could use the exercise.  Han just can't keep up to them." Leia grinned and patted her husband's knee.  Han shot her a pained expression.

            "Alright, alright, you've got me. How can I resist such begging?  I can take on a couple of Sith lords, but three kids…" Luke grinned and helped them get into their outdoor clothes.
