Chapter 4

Jaina Solo woke the next day with a sense of foreboding. She couldn't tell what but, chose to forget it when the rich smell of freshly brewed caf. She pulled on her robe and walked into the kitchen to find Jag busily making breakfast.

"You cook!"

He looked up and all most dropped the plate he was holding, "Your up!"

"Uh… yea that's a little obvious, but sense when do you cook?"

Seeming to recover himself, "Along with my skills my mother made a point of teaching all of us to be able to make a decent meal."

"And sense when did you have more then one skill?" She asked playfully. She received a tickle attack from Jag at the statement. "Ah! Okay, okay, okay, okay, I give, I give, so what are we having for breakfast?" she asked after she had recovered her self from Jags clutches.

"Lets see we have…Eggs, scrambled of course, Nerf patties, Toast, Ryshcake , Blue Milk, and Caf."
"Wow! Last time I had that much for breakfast we were at Iella's place."

"Yea, Iella can defiantly cook. Now come on lets eat."

They ate in a comfortable silence, in which they both just stared at the magnificent view from their balcony over looking the sea.

"So what do you want to do today?" Jag asked as they were clearing the table.

"I don't know. Ferion said he wouldn't pick us up until 2100." She looked out the window and an idea suddenly struck her. "Jag? Do you know what I haven't done in forever?"

"Um…should I be afraid?"

"No. I haven't been swimming sense I was at the academy."

Suddenly understanding where she was going, "You want to go to the beach?"

"Why? Is that so hard to imagine?"

"No, no, it's just well…I never really learned how to swim." He said looking down.

"What!"

"Well there was never really an opportunity. I mean, I grew up on a planet covered in snow. There wasn't a place around that wasn't frozen solid, and the Chiss don't really have places to indulge in such activities." Chuckling when he thought of Shawnkyr in a bathing suit.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just imagined a bunch of Chiss in bathing suites."

Laughing, "That would be funny. So you really don't know how to swim, huh?"

Shaking his head she got an evil look on her face. "What?"

"Come on." She said grabbing his hand, "I'm going to teach you how to swim."
Come on guys! We're leaving now!" Leia called to the back of the apartment.

"Do we have to?" Han whined.

"You sound like a 4 year old Solo. Come on Skywalker lets get moving." Mara said from the door.

"I hate sand." Luke mumbled

"Come on farmboy a walk on the beach will do you good."

"Why can't we go on a walk someplace else?"

"Your starting to sound like Han." Leia said grabbing hold of Hans arm. "And we're walking on the beach because that's where Mara and I want to walk."

"How come you get to pick where WE going walking? And why do we have to go?" Han asked looking down at Leia.

"Because."

"Because what?"

Leia didn't respond she simply dragged her whining husband out the door, as Han muttered to himself. The only word Luke caught was 'Women'. Luke simply shook his head as Mara dragged him out of the room.
Jaina and Jag were lazily drifting around on the calm ocean surface, soaking in the worm sun and each other's presence, when a large wave came up and crashed into them. They both came back up laughing, and wiping water out of their eyes.

"Oh Gods!" Jaina said laughing.

"You look good wet." Jag said in a low seductive voice.

"Shut up you." She splashed him with water starting a water fight. They continued to splash each other with water until Jag picked her up twirling her around before dropping her back into the ocean. She came back up spitting water out of her mouth. "Oh—I am going to get you!" she moved over to him and started dunking him under water.
Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia were walking back toward their building when they heard a familiar laugh. They looked over to see a short red head and a taller man playing in the ocean. Leia just smiled and Luke and Mara didn't seem to notice.

"Does that girl over there look familiar to any one?" Han asked squinting his eyes trying to get a better look.

"Han, don't be so paranoid. We don't know anyone here. Just relax." Leia pulled him over to a couple of chairs and sat down. After a few minutes the couple headed back to their apartment building.

"Hey sweetheart? I forgot something back on the room, do you want anything while I'm up there?"

"Hmm? Oh okay, uh…I could use a water bottle."

"Sure hun, I'll be right back."

Laying in the sand in Jag's arms Jaina was happier then she had been in a long time. Because she and Jag had to hide their relationship, they were denied a "normal" relationship. /Yea, like anything's normal in my life/

"Credit for your thoughts?"

She looked up to see Jags smiling down at her. "Just thinking how everything is perfect right now. How I want to stay here forever, with you."

"I can think of something that can make it more perfect."

"Really?" her thoughts were cut short though when Jag kissed her. He pulled away all to quickly for Jaina's taste. But before she could argue, he was pulling her to her feet and dragging her back to the apartment.

"Wait, where are we going?"

"Back to the room." He said with a roguish smile.

Jaina and Jag walked up to there apartment building, completely unaware of who was following them. Han stood to one side of the lift and discreetly watched as the young couple stood there in his opinion "sucking the lips off" each other.
Jag and Jaina walked into their apartment and Jag closed the door. When Jag pulled Jaina to him, she ran her fingers down the fine contours of his bare chest. "So what do you want to do for the rest for the day?"

"Umm…I don't know?" He put his hands on her hips pulling her closer. She stood on her toes so her lips just barely touched his, he responded by putting his arms around her waist and capturing her lips with his. She sighed into him, reaching up to pull his head closer to her, running her hands through his hair. He pulled away slightly trailing kisses down her neck and exposed collarbone right as the doorcomm rang.

"Come back later!" Jag yelled between kisses.

The doorcomm became more insistent, until the point that it became a continuous beeping. "Arrg! We're busy!" Jag yelled, at which Jaina laughed until the door opened and a very angry Han Solo came bursting through. Jaina Screamed and hid behind Jag.

"Jaina Solo! What in all of 9 Corellian Hells do you think your doing?"

/Shavit Solo why didn't you lock the door/ Jaina seemed to regain her self because she came out from behind Jag and slammed the door shut before locking it. She turned around and sent death gleams to him. "What the Kriff do think your doing? Who are you to come bursting in here like you own the damn place?"

"Don't you dare try that with me Jaina Solo! I know perfectly well that it's you. You might not look like you but it's you!" He was rambling at this point but he didn't care.

"Dad." She said trying to contain her emotions. "I am on a mission here. And you could of very well throne the hole thing out the window by coming in here." She practically growled out.

"A mission? What kind of mission involves sucking the lips off some guy?"

"Huh!" She growled, "Dad, I will explain everything but you have to trust me. You have to do this my way. If you don't then we might as well go home now. This is a delicate situation, in which we must be very…cautious." She said in a dangerously low voice.

He continued to glare at her with neither of them backing down. He finally gave up, "Fine, only if you promise to tell me EVERY thing!"

"Fine. When?" She said, still looking into his eyes.

"30 minutes. Luke and Mara's apartment."

"Wait your all here! You and Masters Skywalker?" Jag/Cal asked speaking for the first time.

"Yes. Have a problem with it?" To Jag it looked like if it wasn't for Jaina standing between them he would have shot him. He unconsciously gulped and found a spot on the ground very interesting.

"No sir." Jag said still looking at the ground.

"Good. 30 minutes then I come after you two."

With that he turned around and stormed out the room slamming the door behind him. After he left Jaina just stared at the door until Jag gently laid a hand on her arm.

"Hey, are you all right?"

"I can't believe he would do that." She said almost talking to herself. "What? Doesn't he trust me? I'm old enough to make my own decisions." When she finally looked up he could see rage, pain, and sadness all playing out on her features.

Jaina's solid resolve finally vanished and she fell into him. Jag just held her slowing rocking her back and forth when she calmed down enough to look up at him, he saw tears threatening to fall down her face. "Jaina? Sweetie? Are you all right?"

"Yes, I guess…no… not really." She shook her head and wiped her eyes before looking back up at him, "He was mad, really mad." She began in a quiet voice, "I haven't seen him that mad in, well ever. He's been mad at me, Jace, and An..." She hesitated but, she new she had to finish, "Anakin before, but never that mad."

"He wont stay mad Jaina. He was just shocked and upset. He was coming here expecting a nice quiet vacation and he found you. As far as he knows you're on a mission, but in his mind a mission isn't sitting on a beach in a bikini. He'll have calmed down by the time we get there. It'll be alright " /I hope./

"I guess." She said so softly he all most missed it. "Your right, I just over reacted." She said pulling away from him, still looking slightly upset.

"I'm always right." He said smiling one of his rare smiles just for her. "Come on." He said pulling her towards the fresher. "Lets take a shower and you'll feel better. Then we'll go and explain things to your father, plus he'll be so mad at me he won't even think about yelling at you." He flashed he a smile pulling her towards the shower.

"You know, strangely that doesn't make me feel better." She said with all her usual sarcasm, before pulling him into the fresher with her.
