It has been said that a gift from an angel is a precious thing. But what happens when the angel has died, the gift passed on through a family? The gift becomes a legacy. _____________________________________________________________

Twenty-one year old Jaina Solo walked down the halls of the senate building on Coruscant looking for her mother Leia Organa Solo. Her boots echoing noiselessly as she walked along

"Jaina!" A voice called. Jaina turned around to see her mother.

She gave her mother a quick hug and then asked.

"Why did you call me here Senator?"

"O' Jaina loose the protocol for once." Leia asked.

"In war that is all you know. mother." Jaina replied, her tone held no malice simply fact.

The word "mother" seemed strange coming for her lips. She had not been close to Leia at all she preferred her dad, Han.

"Come." Leia told her and took her hand. Together they walked back to Leia's office.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jaina was sitting down on the small couch that sat in Leia's office. Resting comfortably in the pillows that seemed to engulf her entire body. Leia suddenly came in carrying a small wooden box, which She handed to Jaina with a smile.

"It's for you." She told her and handed her the box.

Jaina opened the box to revel a Japor snippet.

"It was your grandmothers she gave it to me with instruction to hand it down to my own daughter someday." Leia told her.

"What was my grandmother's name?" Jaina asked.

"Padme."

"Padme' a beautiful name." Jaina murmured as she touched the necklace.

"Yes it is a beautiful name." Leia agreed.

Jaina put on around her neck, enjoying the feeling of the smoothness of the wood in the hollow of her neck where it rested.

"It looks right on you." Leia told her.

Jaina smiled. It was odd she hadn't smiled in a long time.

She rapped her arms around Leia in a hug.

"Thanks mom." She told her.

Leia smiled and hugged her back. She could feel tears start to well up in her eyes.

After a few minutes Jaina untangled herself from the hug.

"I'll pass it on to my daughter, I promise." She told Leia

She gave Leia a salute and ran out the door.

Leia looked towards the door, her daughter was heading towards war and there was nothing she could do about it. No, she corrected herself.

Jaina wasn't heading towards war she was heading towards her destiny.
