I wrote a short explanation about the Mara Jade thing in the reviews, so you might want to take a look at it if you are wondering about her character.

PART 31

A few weeks later, when Mara was 3 months old, Obi-Wan, Padme, Sola, Mara and the droids left Hoth and moved to Roon. Obi-Wan chose Roon because of its remote location; he figured living in a remote village in the middle of Roon's sapphire seas would be easy to spot an intruder in the small village.

Padme was thrilled to be leaving Hoth, even though Roon had a very dark and cold part of the plant they would be living on the more temperate side. Roon's seas reminded her Naboo's lakes, only even more beautiful.

They settled in very nicely, there were many humans as well as other species living in the village and they found a nice apartment to live with a lot of space for Sola and Mara. With help from Bail, they were able to buy the apartment so Obi-Wan didn't have to look for work, which helped to keep their identity secret.

Bail Organa was reading his daughter a story before bedtime. The 6 year old was reading quite well but still liked it when her father read to her at night.

"I really like this story" Leia said.

"It is a good story isn't it? Well we'll read another chapter tomorrow, it's getting late."

"Goodnight daddy."

"Goodnight Leia" he said as he kissed her forehead before turning off the light in her room.

Walking back to the master bedroom, Bail was unaware of the shadow moving slowly behind him ready to make a move.

Obi-Wan's comlock went off early the next morning while he and Padme were making love. He sighed heavily as he pulled himself away from Padme's sweet kisses and gave her a quick kiss on the mouth before saying, "We'll have to finish this later."

"Kenobi here"

"General Kenobi, this is Captain Antilles, I work for Senator Organa."

"Yes Captain Antilles, how can I help you?"

"It's the Senator Sir, he's been kidnapped."

Obi-Wan quickly got dressed after ending the conversation with the Captain.

"Obi-Wan I'm going with you" Padme said as she put on her robe.

"No, it's too dangerous; you have to stay here for the children, just in case."

"You don't come back?"

"I WILL come back, I promise."

"Obi-Wan, what if something has happened to Leia?"

"I'm going to Alderaan, Captain Antilles says there is a note he wants me to see, I will protect Leia at all costs."

They walked out to their shuttle hand in hand; right before he was about to board he turned and held her tightly.

"I'll come back to you and the girls; give them a kiss goodbye for me."

Padme watched as their small shuttle took off into Roon's skies. After the ship left the atmosphere Padme went back to the apartment to find the droids.

"Threepio, I need you to help me pack, we are leaving, all of us."
