Jenna slept most of the next three days after Hagrid left. She did not miss his presence, having not been awake more then 30 minutes the whole time, but Leia was very upset that he was not there and knew that Jenna would be hurting when she finally woke for longer and discovered him missing.
On the morning of the fourth day, Jenna awoke to find Proffessor Dumbledore sitting at her bedside. His eyes twinkled as he smiled at her. "Ahhh, welcome back, young Jenna." Jenna gave a tired smile and her eyes moved quickly to look for Hagrid, disappointment setting in when she didn't see him. Dumbledore's voice caused her to look back at him.
"Ahhh, looking for someone? I am afraid our groundskeeper has gone away for a bit."
Jenna's face fell, and she closed her eyes for a moment. "Why would he leave?"
Albus studied the miserable young woman before him and smiled "I do believe it has something to do with the title you never gave to us, Princess Jenna."
Jenna sighed "I didn't think it was important. I am not a Princess on this world, or any world as a matter of fact. The world I would have been a princess on was destroyed, but the title has held and it passed to me from my mother."
Dumbledore nodded "I do believe that Hagrid feels he is not worthy of your love with your title."
Jenna sighed, "My title means nothing to me, Albus, only Hagrid matters anymore." She looks at him "Will you send him an owl if I write him a letter?" Albus nodded and produced some paper and a quill with an ink bottle. She wrote the following...
My dearest Hagrid,
It pained me to wake up and you not be here at my side. I do understand though that it was a shock to you to learn my title. I am a princess of a world that doesn't exist. It's a title only, used for diplomatic situations. I took that curse for you Hagrid, while my Jedi training required it, my heart made it necessary that you survive, because I love you. Please come back to me, my love.
Yours,
Jenna
Jenna gave the letter to Dumbledore, who immediately left and took it to the owlery and mailed it off to Hagrid. He felt for sure that his groundskeeper would be returning soon.
Having been sitting alone in his room at the inn, Hagrid sat miserably thinking about Jenna. He sighed softly, upset with himself for falling for a woman that was beyond his reach. Just his luck in life. A soft hoot at the window made him stand and he took the letter from the school owl and sat on the bed to open it. Thinking it was the daily reports on Jenna's condition from Dumbledore, Hagrid didn't think anything of it till he opened the letter and saw her handwritting instead.
He reread the message 4 times, unbelieving of what he was seeing. Didn't she realize that he wasn't worthy of her love? That she deserved someone with more social charms? He sighed to himself and stood up. It was time to go back to Hogwarts and talk to her. To face the hardest moment in his life, harder then giving up Norbert (the dragon from book one).
He gathered his still packed suitcase and walked back to the castle. He dropped his case off at the cottage and was just approaching the castle when Jaceam came out the front doors and spotted him. He quickly changed his direction to meet Hagrid and Hagrid saw anger on his face.
Jaceam was furious with this man, how could he leave Jenna like that when she needed him most. He was just like the other guys, playing with her. He finally thought that Hagrid had been the one. Jaceam approached and immediately lit into Hagrid.
"How could you leave her like that? Didn't you care that when she woke for good she would want to see you?" Not giving Hagrid time to reply he kept on. "You just should go back to your cottage and leave her alone. You have caused enough damage to her." Hagrid's face had grown pale and he took a step back from this angry man when another voice was heard.
Leia spoke from behind Hagrid. "Enough Jaceam. Hagrid left for another reason. He loves your sister. Back off." Jaceam sighed and turned to his mother. "Ok, whatever." He backed off and went to the Falcon. Leia came up and hooked an arm through Hagrid's. "My daughter is going to be glad that you are back. She told me she wrote you. Did you get the letter?" Hagrid nods to Leia.
"I did, but Jenna needs to realize that I am not the man for her. I am not prepared to act as her significant other at formal occassions. Jenna deserves a man who won't embarass her in public situations." Leia cut him off with a stern look.
"That is enough Hagrid. What my daughter deserves is a man who loves her for herself and not her title. Man after man has tried to woo my daughter, all because she was a princess. You are the first man to look past the Jedi training and see the woman beneath, without knowing of her title. In my opinion you are the only man that even deserves a chance with my daughter. Now, unless you are going upstairs to declare your love for her, then you shouldn't go. She can't take much more pain and hurt right now."
Hagrid stared at Leia, an older version of his Jenna. Finally he leaned down and kissed her cheek before turning and going in the direction of the infirmary. Leia smiled and turned to find her husband coming towards her. "Man, I knew when I married you that you could be decisive, but you are magnificent honey." Leia smiled to him. "Come on, you scruffy nerf herder, let's go talk to our oldest son about love." Han smiled and led his wife back to the Falcon.
