Chapter 4
"Jaina, its so nice to see you again. This time, you are calmed down."
"Oh, Jag. I am so sorry to have you put up with my dad. I don't know what I am going to do. I just don't know."
"Jaina, it will be alright. I am with you now. There is nothing to worry about." Jag puts his arms around her waist and pulls her close to him. "I love you so very much Jaina."
"I love you so much too, Jag. I don't know what I would do with out you in my life. There is something I have to tell you though. My parents have invited me to have a picnic with them."
"Well, are you going to go?"
"I don't know. I want to be with my brother, but I don't want to be with my mom and dad. I don't know who all is going to be there. I don't know what to do." She turns around in his arms and leans her head against his chest. After a few minutes he feels his shirt getting wet.
"Jaina, look at me. Don't do this. I know this is not the Jaina I fell in love with so many years ago. Now stop crying. If you want to go to the picnic I can go with you. If you want me to."
"Jag that would be so nice. Wait a minute. Did you say you fell in love with me so many years ago?"
"Yes. I did. I have loved you for a long time. I just didn't know how you felt about me. Now that I know, it is hard for me to-"
"Jag, why didn't you tell me? I have loved you forever. I was just scared to admit my feelings for you. I guess I just answered my own question, didn't I?"
"Yeah, you did. But you know what, I kind of liked it." He leans down and covers her mouth with his. The kiss was long and when they pulled away they both were very breathless.
"Jag, I am not going to go to that picnic. I think I am going to spend the rest of the day with you. But on one condition."
"Honey, you name it."
"We go inside where it is a little bit warmer." Jaina says as she moves out of Jag's arms and toward the bedroom.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Jag ran to Jaina's parents' office and found Han waiting for him.
"Han, I have a question for you," Jag said, out of breath.
"I kind of had that figured out when you were running down the hallway."
"I would like your daughters' hand in marriage."
"WHAT!"
"I would like to marry your daughter."
"That's what I thought you said," Han says. "Alright. You can marry my daughter. As long as you can provide a good home for her."
"Don't worry sir, I have that all taken care of."
"Alright. Now you can tell Jaina. I have work to do here. You are excused."
"Thank you, sir," Jag walks extremely nervously toward his room.
"Hey Jag."
"Hello, Master Skywalker. How are you?"
"Well, that depends. I see you are about to go see Jaina."
"Yeah. I just came from Han's office. I just asked him if I could have his daughters' hand in marriage."
"What!"
"That's what he said. But then he said that if I could provide a good home for her that I could marry her."
"Well that is typical for Han. Just be thankful that he did say yes."
"Well sir, I hate to cut this short but I have a date with Jaina tonight and I should get to my quarters and get ready."
"Well good luck. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Thank you Master. Tell Mara I said hi."
"I will."
