Chapter 12

Sharr and Piggy had been waiting in a conference room for over three hours now. They had arranged to have a meeting with the great one herself that morning to discuss the "new developments" she had been talking about. After about an hour of waiting they had figured that she was just being her annoying Goddess self and again after about two hours they had figured that she had overslept due to the long couple of weeks she had had. However after three hours they figured that she had forgotten, and when she didn't answer her comm they started to get worried.

"Perhaps we should check her quarters. It's not like her not to answer her comm., she could still be asleep and just not have heard it."

"With reflexes like hers and her Jedi training, that's very unlikely, but I agree. We should at least check." As they headed to Jaina's quarters they passed a somewhat flustered Wedge Antilles and Han Solo.

"Generals." Sharr said with the tip of his head. "We were wondering if either of you had seen Jaina? She didn't show up for our meeting this morning and she's not responding to her comm. We're headed for her quarters now."

"You'll have no luck, she's not there." Han said beginning to get a little concerned.

"Perhaps she's at the mess, or in the simulators." Piggy said trying to think of the areas where Jaina typically is.

"We already looked in the mess and Tycho's looking in the simulators." Wedge said leaning back against the wall. "She spends a lot of her free time on the roof with,"

"Jag." Han growled out cutting Wedge off before heading down the corridor at a steady march, with a confused Wedge, Sharr, and Piggy behind.

Jaina woke up in Jag's warm embrace without a care in the world, at least until she felt the distinctive signature of her father through the force. And he was angry, very angry. /uh oh/

Jaina and Jag both sat straight up in bed as an angry Han Solo came bursting through the door, followed by Wedge, Piggy, and Sharr.

"The meeting!" Jaina exclaimed hitting herself in the head.

"And just what exactly were you doing young lady? Just because on this mission you were PRETENDING to be married does not give you permission to act like a married couple now! And you, when exactly did I give you permission to touch my daughter?" Han said not even hearing her comment.

"Permission? What makes you think either of us needs permission? Dad, this isn't your decision to make, it's mine. For the first time since this war started I'm doing what I want. I'm doing this for me, and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop me."

"Jaina Solo…"

/He's really starting to bug me. / She leaned up against Jag and put her head on his shoulder.

/Give him a break Jaina; he's just trying to protect his little girl. /

/I thought we had already established the fact that I'm not his little girl anymore. And who said that I needed his protection in the first place, I've done all right. I'm still alive; that's got to count for something. /

/Jaina, it's just the mindset of all fathers and their little girls. I know that my father acted exactly like this when Charith brought home her first serious boyfriend. Are fathers are very much alike despite the fact that they hate each other. /

/I'd like to see their reactions if someone told them that. /

/Who ever told them wouldn't live long enough to see their reactions. /

Jaina laughed slightly, however it was enough to cause Han to come out of his rambling long enough to look over at her. "Jaina Solo, I fail to see the humor in this situation."

"It's nothing dad, just something that Jag just said to me." All of the confused looks around the room made Jaina laugh even harder, just angering Han further.

"Well would you like to share it with the rest of us?"

"Hmm…oh, that's right, you don't know, do you?"

"Know what Jaina?" Wedge asked from the back of the room, where he was standing quietly with Sharr and Piggy.

"Oh, didn't we mention it in the briefing?"

"We haven't had our briefing yet." Sharr muttered to Piggy.

She threw a cross between a glare and an apologetic look towards them. " Jag and I have a force bond of sorts. Kinda like what Jace and me have…had, or what Luke and Mara have. It's kinda hard to explain, we don't even know what it is, neither does Uncle Luke…we can just talk to each other through the force. I don't really know how…but we just can."

Han stood with his mouth open as Wedge began to pull him out of the room. "Thank you." Jaina mouthed as Wedge left the room, and he just nodded and smiled slightly in return.

"Jaina, I believe we need to discuss this, I am assuming that this is the new development you were talking about."

"Oh, um, actually no. But this is something we should talk about. If you would, um, leave so I can get dressed."

"Oh! Right, sorry. We'll meet you in thirty minutes in the conference room right around the corner from your office. Jag, you should come as well." With that Sharr and Piggy left leaving only Jag and Jaina once again.

"Well that was interesting." Jag commented as the door finally closed.

"Definitely." She looked around for a minute before she started to pull the covers off. "We better get up and get ready."

As Jaina and Jag walked down the hallway they kept a formal amount of space between each other, due to the goddess scheme. Jaina led the way towards the conference room until Wes Janson intercepted their course.

"Well hello goddess, colonel. What a surprise running into the two of you, together."

"Oh yes, what a surprise, to find two members of Twins Suns in the Twin Suns officer corridor."

"I heard that you two had a busy morning." He said with a knowing grin.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Jaina said becoming slightly flustered.

"Well about thirty minutes ago I ran into General Antilles escorting a shell-shocked Han Solo out of your room." He said pointing to Jag. "Now I have to ask my self what would Han Solo be doing in Fel's room? The last I heard of the matter was that a still very quite Han Solo was taken back to his room by a very amused Mistress Solo and Master Skywalker."

"Number one, you've known my family for years, use their real names. Two, as Yuuzhan Vong goddess I forbid you from ever talking about this again. Third, I still owe you for those wonderful fashion choices you picked out for me on Corellia." With that she left a slightly amused and worried Wes Janson in the hall as she walked down towards the conference room, with a chuckling Jag following.

As soon as they reached the conference room Jaina walked right in and flopped down on a chair as Jag closed the door behind him. When Sharr gave Jag a questioning glance jag responded with one word, "Janson"

"Ah, yes well, Jaina we've had some interesting developments over the past few days. Besides this new connection you have with Jag, we have been getting reports in saying that the Vong are not only believing that you're their goddess, but that also you have a type of courtesan, or so to speak."

"Paramour actually." Jag said with a slight grimace.

"How do you…never mind I don't want to know."

"It's actually the thing we wanted to talk to you about. While we were escaping we had the help of a shamed one and he kept going on about how it was an honor to help the goddess and her paramour blah, blah, blah. So we or I was thinking that we could incorporate Jag into the goddess scheme. The only problem is that we need to make sure that my Dad doesn't find out about this."

Chuckling slightly Piggy replied, "Ah yes, if that was his reaction for something as simple as staying the night together, I don't want to know what his reaction is going to be when he finds out what we have set up."

"Do I really want to know what this is going to be?" Jag said visually shrinking down into his seat.

"Oh trust me, the two of you are going to love this immensely." Sharr said sharing and scheming glance with Piggy.

"I seriously don't like this! I have too much as it is!" Jaina said as she angrily packed her few belongings.

"You mean you don't want to live with me?" Jag said feigning hurt as he wrapped his arms around her. "You do realize though that we're being ordered to so something that most couples have to sneak around to accomplish."

"No, I know, and it's not that. It's just that I don't deserve any of this." She said turning around in his arms momentarily forgetting her packing. "I love the fact that we're going to be sharing quarters it's just that I would be just as happy living in your quarters. I have a big enough room as it is, and now they're giving me bigger ones. All of that space could be used for something so much more useful."

"Jaina, I don't know of anyone who deserves it more. You give and give of yourself until there's nothing left to give, if not you then who? And you always have the power to say no."

"I can't, as much as I may not like it, and as I don't want to be away from my pilots, it makes sense. It would help promote the goddess scheme if I'm living in the officers quarters, plus living with you can't be all bad."

"Really, you think so?" He pulled her closer so that they were only an inch apart, before pushing her back suddenly. "You need to finish packing."

She turned back around sticking her tongue out at him as she went.
