A/N: OMG! I never knew so many people liked this fic. You have no idea how much your complements mean to me. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Ok, you didn't just hear me say that. lol. This fic was originally just to help me get through my writer's block, but it seems to be the most popular out of all my stuff. I love my readers so much, and I thank you all for being so tolerant with me.

It was in the middle of her eighth month of pregnancy when Karrde figured out the whole truth behind the baby. He had guessed the right answer during a meeting, when she was walking around his office, the usual lightsaber attached to her belt. The same lightsaber that Luke Skywalker had given her. Mara had been avoiding him throughout most of her pregnancy, and quickly avoided the subject when he was brought into the conversation. Karrde smiled one of his knowing smiles, finally understanding completely now.

He did not ask her, afraid she would have one of her hormonal explosions again. Instead he made it to where he did not bring up Skywalker or any of the New Republic before her, deciding to be kind instead of teasing her. But Luke deserved to know he was going to be a father. He would find out, but only at the right time, for it was after all, a delicate situation he was tampering with.

The Jade Shadow soared through the stars, reaching the Naboo system. She loved the planet in all of its untampered beauty. The waterfalls were her favorite part of it, and she could just sit by them for hours in thought. It was her place of peace, and she somehow felt connected with Naboo. From her ship, it looked like a painted sphere, a mixture of blues and greens, all together in different hues.

Suddenly the baby kicked, and she grabbed her stomach, the child never kicking that hard before. Mara smiled through the discomfort, wondeing if it would be a boy or girl. Would the baby look like her, or would it look like Luke? She could picture red hair and blue eyes, and chuckled to herself.

A lower pressure was beginning to form in her lower stomach, so setting the ship into autopilot, she quickly went to the restroom, hoping she would not be too late again. She had learned a few things from this experience, one of them being that pregnancy is embarrassing. At all hours of the day she had to use the bathroom, since there was a child sitting on her bladder 24/7. And a good question that nobody seemed to be able to answer, how is it that a six pound baby causes you to be 40 pounds over weight?

But as she pulled her skirt right again, she frowned for she did not have to pee as she had expected, but the pressure still remained in her stomach. The coffee cup that was sitting on the counter slid to the floor before her feet as the ship turned slightly still on auto pilot. Thankfully it was empty, but she still had difficulty bending over to pick it up. Grasping the counter for balance, Mara pulled herself up strait again, sighing in success. A smile lingered on her lips, until she felt something hot trail down her legs. Looking down she saw that she was standing in a clear puddle and realization took over.

" Well that's not good." she said to herself, and quickly walked over to the controls, preparing for landing in the capital city.
