chapter 2

The dinner had begun in earnest as the Solo family and their guest began

to fill the room. The table was surrouded by people in tuxedoes and elegant dresses.

Tahiri felt a little nervous. She sat by Jaina, who sat next to Jag. She wore her Jedi

robes,thus she felt stupid for not dressing-up. Jag was at the top of the left side of

the table. The top of the table was by a door and Han Solo sat there staring at Jaina

and Jag.

Jaina felt the worst sort of ping when her father stared at her. She knew he was

trying to drive Jag away, but she knew that wouldn't happen. Jag smiled at her and she

untensed a little. Jag wore a suit. It was a normal tuxedo, except that the vest and tie

were a bright emerald green. Jaina stared down at her hand where her engagement ring resigned.

It was difficult to remember that just a little while earlier she had gotten engaged. Her brown

dress ruffled as she turned to look at the rest of the table.

Across from Jag was Jaina's mother,Leia. She wore a white gown that Jaina had only seen

in picture of her at Yavin almost thirty years ago. Sitting next to her (across from Jaina) was

Uncle Luke. He like Tahiri wore Jedi robes. Next to Luke was, of course, Mara. And in a high

highchair next to her was Ben Skywalker. His red-gold hair flaming like his mother's. In Mara's

lap however was a small infant. Instead, of red hair the baby had small blonde hair and the baby's

eyes were a piercing blue ice. The baby was also a girl and wore a blue cotton dress. Ami. The

Baby's name was Ami.

Jaina shook herself slightly. She had been think about A.J.. She had noted that as an

infant Ami and A.J. looked a whole lot alike. They both had blue eyes though A.J.'s were darker.

They both had blonde hair. Although Jaina noted that in the last picture she had of A.J.'s her's

was turning a sandy, dirty-dishwater color.

Jaina stopped herself again and continued to look around the table. Next to Tahiri infront

Ben was Iella Antilles. Next to her was her husband, Wedge. Across from him was the eldest of Jag's

sisters, Maxine sat in an orange dress. Across from her sat her mother, Syal Antilles Fel. She was

very pretty considering her age. She wore an informal Imperial flight suit. Her eyes drooped and she

swayed a little. Jaina thought maybe she was sick. At the other end of the table sat Soontir Fel.

He was looking anxious and probably would have scooped his wife up and run to the medcenter if Jag

hadn't asked him to stay a few extra minutes. The table was draped in a white cloth there was a

candle.

Jaina hadn't noticed that everyone had stopped eating. Threepio cleared the empty plates.

Jag tapped the edge of his glass before Threepio took it. Everyone looked at Jag and Jaina. Jag

grabbed Jaina's hand.

"We have an annoucement to make." Jag sounded. Then continued."Jaina and I are..."he paused

again."We're getting married. As of this morning."

They showed everyone the ring. Leia and the other women spoke fast about plans. Han and Soontir

glared at each other. Jaina gulped. Here it comes.

"Excuse me. I think there is something else you cause will like to hear."

Everyone stopped talking and stared at her. Even Han and Soontir stopped their starr-down to

listen.

She continued."I haven't told you all what really happened on my sweet sixteen trip with Chewie.

While I was gone..."Pausing ,then speeding-up. "I gave birth to a daughter. Her name is Ashley Jan Solo.

Her father is Raynar. We were drunk. She's living on Naboo with Winter."

Everyone stared at her. Except Jag who gripped her hand. Then in an erruption of sound exploded as

all the hated words and questions followed from her friends and families. Syal stood up, walked over to

Jaina, and took both her and Jag by the hand. She lead them to the door and they went outside it.

Once outside the door Jaina and Jag felt they could breath again. They looked at Syal.

"Well, what do you have to say, Mom?" Jag replied.

"Nothing. I just know how you must feel. I,too, at sixteen got pregnant and had a child. My brother

and parents have never found out."

"You better hurry before the crowd pushs through that door." At Syal's words they ran down the hall

to their room.
