Chapter 3: Unexpeted Findings

Mara plopped herself down on the hard floor of the training room after her short work- out. The session had not gone well. She was persistently tired in a way she had never been before. Just recently she had become bloated and her hormones had taken her on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. And, for the past three months her menstrual cycle had not occured, which was exactly the amount of time passed since her affair with Luke. He still had no clue as to what had happened and nor did she have the will to tell him.

Mara relatched her lightsaber to her belt once more, standing as she did so. While walking out of the room, another queasy spell washed over her, causing her to callapse ridgedly to the floor.

Clawing at the carpet, Mara pulled herself to the fresher, struggling to make it to the toilet in time before she vommited. It was a truly unpleasant experience that had been occuring alot lately. Morning sickness. Such a foreign word in her mind. Mara wiped her mouth with a towel and quickly walked out of the room, without a second glance.

A month had already passed and Mara's stomach was beggining to show. No longer flat, she wore Jedi robes most of the time unless alone. Thankfully, her morning sickness was pretty much gone. Instead of spending time with Skywalker, she mainly was around the rest of the smugglers and Karrde, not sure if she could stand looking him in the eye. But sadly, she could not escape Solo on either side. For infact, he was still partially a smuggler, even though a General in the New Republic.

It was the day after she hit her five month mark of pregnancy, that Han Solo ran into her alone in the hall on one of Karrde's ships. He had been there for a meeting with Karrde himself, and Mara had tried to leave immediately, but instead ran into the one person she was avoiding on that vessel.

He had smiled slightly and knodded, being courteous to her. She could have made a nasty comment or just ignored him, but instead smiled back.

" Hello Jade, it's been awhile." she nodded in agreement.

" Yes, I've been really busy. So how have things been with you and Organa-Solo?"

" Everythings fine. The twins are a load of trouble and Anakin's growing fast."

" How is Luke?" Han's expression darkened, and he turned away before replying.

" He's fine, I guess. I mean, the way he's dealin' with it... I don't know. He hasn't seen you in a while, though. I'm sure that would make him a little happier. You know how he loves to try and correct the wrong." he sneered slightly at her. She sighed and looked away, feeling her emotions going haywire.

" I've just been busy. Stay off my back." he looked slightly taken aback, but soon remained his calm.

" Well then, are you free tonight?"

" Um, yes I am but why do you..." Solo cut her off.

" If you're free tonight then maybe you could join us for dinner. It's going to be Leia, Luke, the kids, and myself. We would love to have you join us."

" But, uh,..."

" Be there at six, I'll tell everyone to expect you." he waved to her as he walked out of the hall, leaving an ahgast Mara Jade behind him.

A/N: So, what do ya think? I have no clue as to what Han might be in the New Republic after Callista dies. I get all his roles and positions mixed up. Im reading the end of the NJO and the rest of the whole SW series backwards so Im goin back in time. haha R and R please
