Ok, here is the second chapter that I promised. If you did not notice, I posted chapter 13 with this one, so you will want to go back and read that one first! Once again, reviews are lovely. I hope everyone enjoys!

Chapter 14

After days of travel, Jaina finally reached her destination. Quickly leaving the hanger bay, she went to locate her family's assigned quarters.

Jaina could not wait to tell her family the news of her split from Isolder. Even though they had all been as supportive as they possibly could have been in a situation like the one Jaina had been in for the last couple of weeks, she knew her family would be relieved. They had never actually wanted Jaina to marry Isolder, but it really meant a lot to her that the people she loved had stood by her side through what had been the most difficult decision of her life thus-far.

Reaching her parents quarters; Jaina raised her hand up to knock on the large door. After a moments hesitation that felt like an entire lifetime, the door was opened and her mother's small frame was revealed. "Jaina!" she cried, "What are you doing here?"

"Hey Mom. Can I come in?"

"Of course you can come in," Leia said with a laugh while moving out of the doorway. "Han, Jaina is here!"

"Hey there Princess, what are you doing away from your royal throne and old fart of a husband?" asked her father as he came to greet Jaina.

"Well, I left him."

Not understanding, Leia replied, "Obviously, since you're here."

"No, I mean I really left him. As in we're not married anymore." Jaina explained.

"Sweetie, what happened?"

"Nothing. I mean, Isolder just said that he could tell that I was unhappy and that if I wanted to, we could get an annulment. I just felt like it was the right thing to do. Oh, and Tenel Ka is the new Queen Mother."

"You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say those words. And to think Isolder actually was man enough to do the right thing and let you go, I'm shocked," spoke Han.

"Don't talk bad about him! Isolder was very kind to me the entire time I was married to him…a whole week! The only reason why I left was because I didn't think that I belonged there."

"Then another guy didn't have anything to do with your leaving?" Han questioned suspiciously.

"Another guy? Well yes, Jag Fel and I did flirt a bit and I may have even kissed him, but it's not like I broke up with my husband just so that I could get another."

"Jag Fel! I was talking about Zeek!"

"Zeek? What about Zeek?"

"Sweetie, he is stationed here too. Ever since he heard that you had gotten married to Isolder he hasn't stoped talking about how much he loves you and wished he had only gotten the chance to tell you how he felt," Leia spoke a little hesitantly.

"Oh no! What am I going to say to him if we accidentally bump into each other?" Before the words were completely out of her mouth, a knock was sounded on the door. "I'll get it."

As soon as Jaina opened up the front door, she wished she hadn't. Standing before her was Zeek, huffing and puffing as if he had just ran the whole way to the Solo apartment.

Grinning at the vision of beauty before him, Zeek spoke up, "Jaina. I knew you were here; I felt you land. I knew you would come back to me!"

Turning to look back at her parents for some support, Jaina only got looks of sympathy. Guess I'm on my own with this one. "Hey Zeek, how about we go for a walk; talk a little bit."

"Anything," he replied while taking her hand and pulling her out of the doorway.

As the two walked hand in hand down the hallway, Jaina tried to think about what she was going to say to him.

"Jaina, when Tenel Ka called me and told me that you and her father had broken up, I knew we were meant to be together. I know that I let you down when I left you alone on Hapes, but I was being a coward. I left right when you needed me the most and I'm sorry. But I'm so glad you came back to me." With that, he turned towards her. "Jaina, you have no idea how much I love you," as soon as the words left his mouth, he leaned down to kiss her.

Pulling away from his kiss after a second or two, Jaina spoke up, "Zeek…I don't know how to say this. I have known you for so long and I think that I have loved you from the very beginning. We were little kids together, sharing adventures. Then we were teenagers, and you gave me my first kiss."

"I can feel a "but" coming around right about now," said Zeek with a bit of disappointment in his voice.

"But…I don't know what we are now. I still love you, but it's more like the way I loved Jacen and Anakin. You are one of my best friends and I know I can always count on you, and that means a lot to me. I'm sorry that I can't give you everything you want from me, but that would be dishonest not only to myself, but to you too. Can we still be friends?"

With a sigh, Zeek dropped Jaina's hands. "I think part of me knew this was coming. And I have to agree; things aren't the same as they were when we were younger. But if you ever change your mind, just know that you will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll always love you Jaina." And with that, Zeek gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked away, without looking back.

Hope you liked! Coming up in the next post: Tahiri and the Skywalkers inter the picture again, and there may be a road trip in Jaina's and Tahiri's near future! I will try to post the next chapter as soon as I get my first review, so start typing!
