Han stared quietly into the med bay as he watched the medics tend to Jaina's wounds. He strung an arm around Leia who was standing next to him and gave her a squeeze.

"Feeling all fatherly again Han?" she asked.

Han bit his bottom lip, contemplating his reply. "She was so close to dying Leia…I could almost feel her giving up…"

"How do you think she made it through?" Han glanced over to Leia and noticed a silent tear falling down her face.

"How do you think?" Han whispered, his eyes following Jag Fel as the young man cautiously paced around the waiting room. He saw Leia smile.

"You still don't like him?"

"Not exactly…" Han reasoned.

Leia stared at him, her mouth forming a sheepish grin. "You like him Han!" she teased.

Han shrugged his shoulders. "What can you do…?" he smiled down at his wife. "he saved her life you know…"

"But I thought you and Jacen helped to…"

Han shook his head quickly. "No, we saved her physically. Mentally, she would have been gone days ago…but all she thought about was him." Leia gave him an incredulous look. "Jacen told me," he explained.

"Ahh…so I guess the tide really has turned huh?" She asked. "You didn't want that kid to be near her at first," she looked up at Han. "But now I can see you want him to marry her stat."

Han gasped and pulled back. "Wait! When did I say that!?"

Leia flicked him gently on the shoulder. "Don't try it Solo, I know you well enough after more than 25 years of marriage…"



Jaina saw the white slowly begin to fad before her.

There was someone there…someone…

Soon there was black again. She did a mental survey of her body, revealing that she was completely healthy again, despite how tired she felt.

He was still there…watching her…waiting for her…hope she would wake…

But she didn't want to get up…it was so comfortable…

Jaina gasped as she sat up, her whole body jerking alive at once.

"Whoa Jaina calm down!" Jacen's strong arms set her back down on the bed and she tried to breathe normally. What had happened?

"You were in a Jedi healing trance for just under a week and a bacta tank for 3 days," Jacen said, answering her unsaid question.

Her eyes slowly came back into focus and she found that she was in the medical quarters of the Rebel Dream.

"We're home…" she sighed, closing her eyes, trying to find the strength to do more.

"Definitely, if this is what you call home," Jacen laughed.

"Jag?" she asked hopefully. She couldn't remember what had happened …all she could remember was the pain…the Vong…the white…

Jacen nodded towards the corner where Jag sat hunched over in a chair, fast asleep.

"He's been waiting here since you came out of the bacta tank yesterday. Just barely fell asleep. You want me to wake him?"

"No…just let him sleep…" Jaina closed her eyes again sighing with relief. Everyone was safe…everyone was home…it had been so long…

"You did great Jaya…" Jacen said, taking her hand and rubbing it.

"What a dumb assignment," she joked.

"Next time you get one from Uncle Luke, just say no," Jacen winked.

"I told her to say no," Jag's voice…Jaina looked over Jacen's shoulders to see Jag fully awake, walking towards the bed. Surprisingly, Jacen stood up, gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked out of the room.

She watched in amazement, and Jag laughed at her.

"I never thought I'd see the day when my dad or brother would leave you in a room alone with me…" Jaina confessed. Jag sat down in Jacen's chair in took his place by grabbing her hand.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked softly.

"Thank you Jag…" She whispered.

"Huh?"

She reached up and pulled him down, enfolding him in a hug. A single tear went down her face. "Thank you for loving me…"

Jag hugged her back. "How could I not? Force Jaina, I was so worried!"

"I know…I know…"

He pulled back. "You are never to do that to me again Major? Do you understand?"

Jaina snapped a weak salute. "Yes sir." The both smiled and stared into each other's eyes.

"I love you Jag…" Jaina finally said.

Jag smiled wide. "I know…" he reached up and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips, small and innocent.

As he pulled back, Jaina noticed he pulled something out of his pocket.

"I have to ask you something…" he said slowly.

Jaina nodded for him to continue. He knelt down beside her bed and she felt the tears well up in her eyes.

"Please marry me…" he held up a beautiful ring…and engagement ring. Jaina felt all the dizziness and sleepiness leave her as she jumped down to tackle Jag on the ground.

"YES!" her lips slammed into his right after she said it. As they kissed, Jaina saw her father and mother walk by and glance into the room. Surprisingly, her father gave her a wink and continued down the hall…a smile on his face.

Jaina smiled to herself and deepened the kiss for a few more seconds before pulling away.

"Jaina Solo Fel…" she said softly in his ear. "I like the sound of that…"
