Chapter 6: Decisions

Ever since Caylee had been around all the children taken from Corellia, she had been a changed little girl. Luke had noticed so many changes in her in just a few days time.

First off she wasn't having the dreams as often. She had maybe had one since they had been back on Courscant. And they had been back for about a week. Along with that, she was a lot happier. And to Luke, she seemed like her old self. The happy little girl, that didn't let much get her down.

"Well Caylee seems to be doing better, but are you?" Leia asked one afternoon, as she and Luke sat in his apartment.

"I wish I could say yes. But unfortunately I'm not. There are just too many memories here. Memories of Mara and of Cray."

"What about on Yavin?"

"I don't want to go back there yet. I'm not ready to teach. It's only been about a month since everything happened. Besides I'm weary of not giving Caylee most of my attention."

"Luke you have to go back sometime."

"I will. Hopefully soon, but right now isn't the right time. Besides there are a lot of choices that I need to make."

Leia looked at him funny. "What do you mean?"

"I think Caylee needs to be in an environment where she can be around a lot of children and live a normal life for a while. You saw how she was around those children. She was happy!"

Leia agreed with him. "But where would you go?"

"I'm not sure. Someplace that is quiet, peaceful, and that I feel she'll be safe there."

"I'll look into it for you."

"Thanks Leia."

"Oh by the way, Winter said that her niece, Kandra, would love to be Caylee's nanny. Kandra is a very sweet girl and Caylee loves her to death. She and Caylee spent time together while you and Han were on Ord Mantell."

"How old is she?"

"About 20."

"I'll talk to Caylee about it. I know that I'm going to need help with her and I'm also certain the Threepio won't want to play nanny to Caylee."

Leia laughed. "Why do you say that?"

"He told me that a while back after she and Cray tried to dismantle him."

"I think anyone who is kin to Anakin Skywalker tries to dismantle Threepio at sometime or another." Leia said continuing to laugh.

"Yeah that's true," Luke said joining his sister in laughter.

-------------

Luke watched happily as Caylee dragged Kandra all around the apartment, showing her each and every little thing. When he had told Caylee that Kandra was going to be her nanny, she was happy. Well that was after she asked what a nanny was.

"Daddy, is Kandra going to live here with us?" Caylee asked after Kandra had left for the time being.

"Well off and on. Mainly while I'm on Yavin."

Caylee looked at her daddy with a concerned look on her face. "Aren't I going home too daddy? I like being with Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin," she said about to cry.

"Oh don't cry sweetie. You'll still be able to come and stay there every so often. Besides you're going to start going to school and make new friends."

"What kind of school. I thought I was going to become a jad…"

"A Jedi and yes you still are going to become a Jedi. But first, you need to learn other things."

"Ok daddy. As long as you are there with me."

"And that I will be. But Caylee we're not going to be living here anymore. We're going to move someplace else."

"Why daddy?"

"Well I just feel that we need to live someplace else. Far away from all of this."

"What about Aunt Leia? Uncle Han? Chewie?"

"They are all going to stay here and come and see us sometimes."

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

------------

Caylee shaded her eyes from the sun as she held her father's hand as he led her through the stone streets. Eventually she saw magnificent buildings of all sorts of colors. She was in awe of the buildings.

"Daddy where are we?"

"This is the capital city of Theed on the planet Naboo. Your grandmother is from this planet."

"Really?"

"Yes," Luke said as he picked her up and put her into the transport then climbed in next to her.

"Is she alive or with grandpa and mommy?" she asked as the transport began to move.

"With grandpa and mommy."

"Oh," was all that she said before excitingly pointing out things to her dad as they rode along the streets. She pointed out all the pretty birds, the river, and all the buildings. Luke smiled and nodded at all that his daughter was showing him.

After a few minutes, the transport stopped in front of a simple stone house on the outskirts of Theed. Luke got out then he picked up Caylee.

"Daddy is this where we are going to live?"

"Yes sweetie."

"I think its pretty!" she said scrambling out of his arms and running to the door to open it. Luke was right behind her.

"Oh mistress Caylee! Master Luke! We've been waiting for you!" Threepio said excitedly as Caylee and Luke entered the house. Artoo beeped wildly and twirled his dome top several times.

"Mistress Caylee, Artoo wanted me to tell you that he is from this planet."

"Really?" Caylee asked happily.

Artoo beeped in response.

Kandra walked into the room and greeted everyone. Caylee ran up to her nanny and gave her a big hug. "I like this place! Its pretty!" Caylee said to Kandra.

"I think so too."

"Why don't you and I go explore the house? Kandra and Threepio need to finish unpacking." Luke suggested to Caylee.

She agreed and ran off to explore the house. She found her dad's room first, then Kandra's room, then the refresher, then finally her room. And she loved her room. All her things from Courscant and Yavin 4 where there, along with some weird things hanging on the walls.

"Daddy what are those?" Caylee asked pointing up on her wall.

"Those are holopictures." Luke said picking her up so she could look at them better.

Caylee watched the different pictures on her wall. There were five of them. One of her mommy, daddy, Cray and herself. Then the next one was of her aunt, uncle and cousins. The other two were of the droids and Chewie in one then of her parent's wedding day in another one. Then the last one she didn't recognize.

"Daddy who is that?" she asked pointing to the fifth picture.

"That is a special picture from Artoo. He had it deep in his memory banks. It's a really old picture of your grandparents together."

Caylee just starred at this picture. She had known what her grandfather had looked like, but he was so much younger in this picture. And then her grandmother was so pretty. She really liked this picture. Luke and Caylee looked at this picture for a long time.

"Oh Master Luke! Mistress Caylee! Dinner is ready," Threepio said coming into the room.

"Thanks Threepio," Luke said as he passed by the droid with Caylee in his arms.

----------

"Daddy will you point the stars out to me, like you and mommy used to do for me and Cray?" Caylee asked with a smile on her face. She and Kandra had cleaned up after dinner.

"Sure sweetheart. Just go get a blanket and I'll be waiting for you outside."

Caylee ran off in the direction of her room as Luke got up out of the chair he had been sitting in. he turned to leave the room, but then turned back to look at Kandra.

"I don't know if Winter told you, but Caylee has nightmares occasionally. So if you hear her crying or something, it's ok. She's just been through a lot lately."

"I understand, sir." Kandra said smiling.

Luke returned her smile and headed outside to wait for Caylee.

--------------

Caylee yawned tiredly in her dad's arms, as he carried her into her bedroom. They had spent the better part of three hours looking at the stars. Luke had pointed out the various planets and systems to his daughter. And if he hadn't known what the planet was, Artoo would help him.

Luke pulled back the covers on Caylee's bed and gently laid her down. He softly kissed her forehead and turned to leave her room.

"Daddy?" Caylee asked half asleep.

Luke turned back and looked at her. "Yes sweetheart?"

"When am I going to start to become a Jadei?"

"How about tomorrow as long as you do all your chores."

"Ok daddy," she said turning over and snuggling deeper into her pillow. Luke smiled and then turned to leave her room.

"Watch over her Artoo," Luke said as he closed the door, all but a crack.

Artoo beeped quietly in the corner.

-------------

The next morning, Caylee made certain that her room was perfect and her bed was neatly made. Well as neatly made as a three year old could make it. Artoo beeped with approval when Caylee turned to look at him.

"Good. Come on Artoo," she said as she went to find her daddy.

She found him sitting outside with his eyes closed. She tilted her head one-way to look at him, then tilted it the other. She figured that he must be doing something that a Jedi does, so she sat down and waited for him to finish.

Did you finish your chores?

Caylee looked all around her startled. Then she realized that her daddy was talking to her in her head. She tired to remember how to respond back. She had done it before, but she couldn't remember!

"Yes I did daddy."

Luke opened his eyes and turned to look at his daughter. "You forgot how to respond through the Force?"

Caylee nodded yes.

"Ok here's what we're going to do today. I'm going to teach you how communicate through your mind without talking."

"Like you just did to me daddy?"

Luke nodded yes. "Just like that. Now close your eyes and reach into the Force."

Caylee closed her eyes and felt warmth surround her.

Now think about something that you want to tell me.

Caylee thought of something she wanted to tell her daddy. I love you daddy.

I love you too Caylee. Now did you have any dreams last night?

No daddy.

Good.

I like it here daddy.

Me too. Now open your eyes.

Caylee opened her eyes and looked at her daddy.

"Now was that so hard?" Luke asked.

"No daddy."

"Now try it again with out me telling you what to do. Try and remember how you just did it."

Luke watched his daughter close her eyes and within seconds he heard her voice inside of his head.

Like this daddy?

Luke answered her and said yes. And when Caylee opened her eyes, she had the biggest smile on her face.

"Am I a Jadei yet daddy?"

Luke chuckled a little. "You still have a long way to go sweetheart. But if we work on your skills a little each day, you will be able to rival your cousins when it comes to your abilities."

"Really?" she asked happily.

"If you practice." Luke said putting a finger on her nose.

Caylee smiled the biggest smile that Luke had seen in a long time. Then she launched herself into her father's warm, loving embrace.

The father and daughter stayed like that for a long time. Luke realized that he had made the best decision possible for them at that time…they had need to move away from everything.
