Chapter 1
Merry Christmas Darling
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters of Star Wars they belong to George Lucas. I also don't own the song Merry Christmas Darling it belongs to The Carpenters.
This is a Jaina/Zekk story. I have been for Jaina/Zekk relationship since I started reading Star Wars books several years ago. I will read Jaina/Jag stories but Zekk is so much better, and there is not enough Jaina/Zekk stories. I heard this song a couple weeks ago and the idea popped into my head, so I wrote it. Hope you like it, please Review I love feed back especially constructive reviews.

The Christmas rush is through But I still have one wish to make A special one for you
Jaina is in her room looking out her window, thinking about Zekk. He had been on a mission for about three weeks. He had called her a couple times when he was able to, but she still missed him like crazy. It was two days before Christmas, she knew that he probably wouldn't be back by then, but she could always dream. She let a sigh and walked away from her window and set down on her bed. She was tired too; she hadn't been sleeping well the past few days.
Merry Christmas, darling We're apart, that's true But I can dream And in my dreams I'm Christmasing with you
Suddenly the door to her room came open and her twin brother came walking in. He saw the way she looked and walked over to her and set down next to her, putting his arm around her and pulling her close to him.
Jacen: How you feeling Jaina?
Jaina: Lonely. I know I have you and mom and dad and Ani. But I still feel lonely.
Jacen: I know what you mean. He well be back soon, I can feel it. Anyways, the other reason I came in here besides to check on you is there is someone on the phone that really wants to talk to you.
Jaina: Who?
Jacen: It's a surprise.
Jaina: (trying to play a guilt trip) Ahh Jasa! Please?
Jacen: (laughing) Oh no you don't Jaya your guilt trip isn't going to work on me this time I promised it would be a surprise, and I am going to keep my promise. So if you want to know who it is your are going to have to go and see for yourself.
Jaina: Sith you can be mean. Well what are we waiting for?
Jacen just laughed and stood up. They walked into the comm center together and when she saw the hologram of Zekk she squealed.
Jaina: (happily) ZEKK!!!!!!! When are you coming home?
Zekk: (laughs) Hello to you to Jay. And to your question I well be home soon.
Jaina: (whining) AHH Zekk, you don't know when? Will you be home for Christmas?
Zekk: Jaina, don't whine. Yes I know when I will be there but it is a secret.(grins evilly)
Jaina: Your mean.
Zekk: (laughs) I know but you can't hate me cause I love you.
Jaina: (snorts) what ever. So what are you doing besides being mean to me?
Zekk: Not much. (we hear muffled laughs in the background behind Jaina) That was pretty good wasn't it Jacen.
Jacen: Yea it was awesome.
Jaina: (Thoroughly ticked off) AHH if you two want to talk fine I am going to bed. See you when you get hear Zekk. (she turns away and starts to walk off.)
Zekk: Jaina wait!!! I am sorry; I didn't mean to make you mad. However I do need to go. I will be home soon. Don't know if I will be home by Christmas but not long after. OK?
Jaina: (Softly) ok.
Zekk: Your tired I can tell. Go on go to bed. And in case I can't tell you this on Christmas, Merry Christmas Sweetie.
Jaina: (smiles) Merry Christmas Zekk.
Zekk: Bye Jay.
Jaina: Bye Zekk.
Holidays are joyful There's always something new But every day's a holiday When I'm near to you
Jaina went back to her room feeling a whole lot better then before. She loved Christmas, it is so much fun. Even though Zekk might not get home before Christmas, she got to talk to him and that had made it a whole lot more joyful. She went to her bed and lay down, and thought about Zekk. *I wish you were here now Zekk. You could see all the decorations that mom put up, like the tree that we got. It is huge. Jacen, Anikin, Tenal Ka Tehiri, and I all put it up. It was a lot of fun. Anikin made Tehiri mad and she slugged him up side the head. It was hysterical. Well maybe I can convince mom to keep it up tell you get home. You were right, I am tired; I haven't slept well lately, so I guess I will go to sleep. Night Zekk, Oh and something else I wanted to say Happy new years.*
The lights on my tree I wish you could see I wish it every day The logs on the fire Fill me with desire To see you and to say That I wish you Merry Christmas Happy New Year too
Just as Jaina was drifting of to sleep she heard *Happy new years to you to darling. But I will be back before new years. I promise.* She smiled and falls into a restless sleep.
The next morning, Christmas Eve, every body but Jaina was awake. Leia was about to tell Jacen to go wake her up when the halophone rang. Leia went answered it and it was Zekk.
Leia: Hello Zekk. Jaina is still asleep. But I was about to have Jacen wake her up if you want to wait.
Zekk: Well actually I was calling to tell you something. I told Jaina yesterday that I didn't know when I would be home. Well the truth is I am a couple hours away right now. I was just wondering if I could come over and surprise her sometime this afternoon?
Leia: (smiling) Sure how about you come around five. Then you can have supper with us and open some presents. I know you have a few over here. How does that sound?
Zekk: That sounds great. And um, I was kind of hoping that just me and her could go on a walk and talk for a little bit. Would that be ok?
Leia: Of course Zekk, I will make sure she is ready to go when you get here, ok?
Zekk: (Smiles) thanks. And Leia? Can I take you up on talking to Jaina for a few minutes?
Leia: (Smiles) Sure Zekk, hold on.
Zekk: Ok.
Leia: Jacen!! Go wake up your sister.
Jacen: (Grins evilly) Yes ma'am. Anikin come on, Lets wake Jaina up.
Anikin: (excitedly) Alright!
Leia and Zekk at the same time: I have a bad feeling about this.
We see Ani and Jacen in Jaina's room. Then we see them pouncing on her.
Both: Jaya, wake up! Wake up!
Jaina screams and sits straight up in the air. Then she sees that it was her brothers and had to use a Jedi calming technique so that she wouldn't do anything she would regret.
Jaina: (Mad) You Scruffy looking Nerf herders, you scared the Sithspit out of me. What time is it?
Anikin: (between laughs) Its ten o'clock, we have already eaten breakfast and yours is almost ready, plus Zekk is on the phone.
Jaina: Sith, it's that late? (glares at her brothers) You two better be glad that Zekk is on the phone and that I don't feel like sending blaster bolts through you. Come on, let go.
Jaina storms out of her room and to where her mother is.
Jaina: Hey mom can I have those two nerfbrained brothers of mine presents?
Zekk laughs but stops when he sees the glare from Jaina.
Leia: I will think about it.
Jaina: ok.
Leia: OK Jaina I well go get your breakfast ready while you talk to Zekk. (she turns to Zekk) try to calm her down so she doesn't kill her brothers.
Zekk: I will try.
Leia: that is all I ask. Talk to you later Zekk.
Zekk: talk to you later. (looks at Jaina who is still ticked) Jaina you ok sweetie?
Jaina: No I am tired. I couldn't sleep very well last night. The truth is, I haven't slept well in about five days. I think I am going through one of the times where I can't sleep.
Zekk: (worried) ahh. So that explains what you said to your brothers. (she glares at him) I heard it all Jay. Hey I need to go. Your breakfast is probably ready anyway. Get some rest, I am coming home soon and I don't want you getting sick on me, ok? So try and get some sleep. Oh, and if Jacen and Anikin do that to you again, tell me and they will have to deal with me.
Jaina: Ahh don't go yet. (she wined).
Zekk: I have to go do something right now, ok. I promise I will talk to you again soon, ok?
Jaina: Ok. I miss you Zekk.
Zekk: (smiles) Miss you too sweetheart. Love you.
Jaina: Love you to.
Zekk: (giving her a reassuring smile) Bye, get some rest.
Jaina: Ok, bye.
They hang up and she walks to the Kitchen.
Jaina: (softly) Is my breakfast ready?
Leia: Yea sweetie it is. Are you feeling ok? You didn't seem like your self when your brothers woke you up.
Jaina: I didn't sleep well last night, or the past few nights.
Leia: Ahh now we can't have you being tired. Not when your Uncle Luke, Aunt Mara, and Little Ben are coming. Ben is going to want to see his "Happy, Funny, cousin Jaya." How about you eat up, I will get you some juice and you go lay down on the couch with the rest of us and watch TV or sleep, ok?
Jaina: Ok sound good, although I will probably sleep.
She started to think about Zekk and her brothers. She wished Zekk were here; he would probably hover over her like Jacen did over his pets. That probably would have driven her crazy, but she still wished he were here anyway.
I've just one wish On this Christmas Eve I wish I were with you
Leia gave her the orange juice and watched as she drank it. Jaina finished her food and stood up.
Leia: Come on sweetie go lay down on the couch and watch TV.
Jaina: Ok.
She did just that. During one of the commercials Jacen walked over to her and set down next to her on the floor. He reached up and pulled her bangs out of her face.
Jacen: Jaya I am sorry we scared you so bad. I wouldn't have done it if I knew you didn't feel good.
Jaina: (smiled) its ok. Besides Zekk said if you did that again to tell him.
Jacen: (laughed) I well remember that. (Looks at the TV) the show is back on.
They watch the show for a while, when Jacen looked back over at his sister she was fast asleep. He smiled.
Jacen: Mom should we leave her there?
Leia: Yea, I well go get a blanket.
She went and got a blanket and covered her up. They were all looking at her worriedly. When Han spoke up.
Han: She will be ok, guys. Lets just leave her alone for a while.
That is exactly what they did. They left her on the couch until Luke called and said that they were almost there. Leia looked at the clock and saw that it was almost five.
Leia: SITHSPIT
Han: What is it Princess?
Leia: I need to wake Jaina up so she can get ready. Zekk is going to be here soon.
Everyone: OHH.
Leia walks over to the couch and softly shakes her daughter.
Leia: (Gently) Jaina, sweetie, wake up, you need to get up and change Uncle Luke is going to be here soon.
Jaina groans and wakes up, she stretches then sits up.
Jaina: what time is it?
Leia: almost five. I think you pretty much kept you promise to Zekk. And before you ask, I heard. Come on I help you find something to wear, ok?
Jaina: ok.
They go in and she goes into the refresher to clean up while Leia looks for something for her to wear. She pulls out one of Jaina warmer tunics and her cloak.
Leia: Jaina, hurry up sweetie.
As she says this, Jaina comes out of the refresher with a towel.
Leia: Here sweetie, put this one before you freeze, and lets do something about you wet hair.
Mean while in the living room Jacen answers the door to see Zekk there.
Jacen: Hey man. She is getting ready she will be out soon.
Zekk: Ok.
Just then Jaina comes out, dressed, her hair dry and ready to go. When she sees Zekk, she just stands there stunned, trying to figure out what to do. She didn't notice that the rest had gone to the kitchen to leave them alone.
Zekk: Hey Jaina, I told you I would talk to you soon.
Jaina squealed and ran to him, he wrapped his arms around her.
Jaina: Your here, my wish came true!
Zekk: Yep sweetie, I am here for Christmas.
I wish I were with you Merry Christmas, darling
I am writing the next chapter. It well be up soon. I just want to tell Chelsea Thank You very much for helping me with the idea and the spelling. You are the best.
