Chapter 31 – Old friends

A few days had passed since the little kids ran away towards the canyon.

It was a cloudy day back in Tatooine, and while the kids were helping Ines to put the table for dinner, Leia was in the patio, sitting on top of a blanket, holding her youngest nephew little arms, helping the baby to get up for the first time on his little legs.

"Come up, sweetie," she said smiling at the baby, at the same time she gently pull him up, making the baby smile and bounced up and down on his little legs. "That's it. Auntie Leia won't let you go."

Baby Luke gave one of his high pitch sounds, smiling widely towards his aunt.

"What a big boy you are," she said laughing along side her nephew.

Deep inside she missed when the twins were this age, even being two at the time, but they were her babies and she missed those moments, when she hugged them and kissed them nonstop and they made their babies sounds. Now they ran away every time she wanted to hug them and kiss them. Even Iris, was becoming a beautiful young woman, and soon she would start to hang out with her friends.

As she was thinking all of this, she smiled when her son Anakin approached them, and sitting next to her, he leaned towards his baby cousin, hugged him and kissed his little cheeks, making Luke smile at his cousin, drooling all over his bib.

"Look at you," Ani said, cleaning his cousin's mouth, making Leia's heart melt. The past days she made sure to show her son, she loved him. What Ines told her, made her realize that she was indeed unfair to Ani, and the last thing she wanted was to her son think she didn't love him, cause that was not true at all.

"Mama," the little boy talked, making her look at him.

"What is it sweetie?"

"Can you give me a baby sister?"

Leia looked at him with wide eyes.

"You want what?"

"I want a baby sister," the little boy repeated.

"Where did you get that idea, and why in the world you want a baby sister?"

"I want to take care of her like Ben take cares of Alli and Padmé," the little boy said to her. "I will help you mama, I promise. Pleeeaassssee," he said wrapping his arms around her neck and making his mother looked at him, while he pout at her, making her laugh at him.

"What is going on here?" Ines asked, approaching them and sitting next to them, she looked at her baby who gave her a big smile. "Look who is standing up on his little legs. Yes you are, my sweet love," she approaching her baby and kissed his little cheeks over and over. She loved her baby so much.

"Aunt Ines," Anakin called her, making Ines sat straight and looked at her nephew/godson.

"What is it sweetie?"

"Can you tell my mama to give me a baby sister," he said making Ines looked at him with a shock on her face and then she looked at Leia, who rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Wait, what?"

"Your nephew now wants a baby sister."

"Where did that come from?" Ines asked looking at her nephew, pulling the four years old boy to her lap, and running her fingers on his messy blond hair.

"I want to be a big brother, like Ben," he explained looking at his aunt. "I will bath her and feed her and make sure she is okay."

"Aww," Ines pouting at that. "You know what, you will make a great big brother," she told him, kissing the top of his head.

"Go ask your father when he gets back, then."

"Yes," the boy said, standing up and went to the stairs at the entrance waiting for his father and uncle.

Luke and Han alongside with Chewie went to Mos Eisley, waiting for Din and Grogu. The day of that meeting was getting closer.

"Are you having a baby fever?" Ines said smiling at her baby who was still standing up, bouncing on his little legs and drooling all over himself.

"I just said that to shut him up," Leia replied, which made Ines cross her arms in front of her chest, and gave one of her looks every time Leia was saying some bs at her, and Leia knew that look very well. "What?"

"Come on, do you really think you can fool me. ME! I know you since we were wearing diapers. You miss having baby, don't you?"

Leia sighed. Her best friend knew her so well, and she hated that.

"What if I am? It is something that wont happen, for sure."

"Why not?"

"The way that everything is going, and having so much to do in the Senate. I don't have time for another baby."

"And since when that stop you to do anything you want? I see how you behave around this little baby. Your eyes glow and you have this big smile on your face. I'm sure if there is anybody that can handle all of that while being pregnant, it is you. Besides Iris is 13 already, almost 14. She is becoming a young woman, and maybe another girl in the family will help. Besides you already have a nice protector over there," she said laughing pointing at Anakin that continue to wait at the stairs for his father. "And being a Solo, mix with a Skywalker, he will not stop asking for a baby sister."

Leia looked at her son and smile.

"I don't think Han will go for it."

"Like you don't have your husband wrapped around your finger," Ines smile winking at her. "If that makes you happy, your niece Alli already informed me and your brother that we will have another girl and she will take care of her baby sister."

"Wait, what?"

"Exactly. So if she saw that, Luke and I know we will have another kid in the future."

"I'm surprise you two don't have a dozen kids right now, since you can't take your hands off each other for one second. Jeez!" Leia laughed making Ines stick her tongue at her.

"It is not my fault that your twin brother is delicious and very good in that subject. Well he is good in everything."

"Oh gross, I don't want to know. Shut up," she said picking her nephew while Ines laughed at her sister in law. "Did you imagine us as mothers, and wives when we were little?"

"I did, remember?" Ines said wiping her baby's mouth while he got focus on his aunt white jacket.

"Yeah, of course you did. You even choose the name of our first son," Leia glare at Ines with a smile. "But I never thought of that."

"Really? You knew that sooner or later you would be married as the future ruler of Alderaan. You had to marry and have heirs," Ines replied.

"True, but what I never thought is that I would end up with Han."

"Are you serious? You two have be on each others butts since the beginning. Of course I knew you two had feelings for each other. You were just stubborn to admit it."

"You bickered with him too."

"But he was not type and you know that," Ines winked at her.

Then Alli came running, with a big smile on her face and she was holding Grogu's hand.

"Mama, aunt Leia look who is here?" the young girl asked all happy.

"I see. Hey Grogu. How are you? We miss you too," Ines smiled at the child.

Right behind them, Luke entered inside the farm with Din, and Han and Chewie, who were stopped by Anakin right away.

"Papa, I want a baby sister, okay?" the four year old said, looking at his father, who stop on his tracks and looked at his son with wide eyes.

"Say what? I think I didn't listen correctly," Han said.

"I said I want a baby sister, so I can take care of her like cousin Ben take care of the cousin Alli and Padmé."

Han looked at Chewie and then to Luke and Din, who did everything to not start to laugh.

"Buddy why don't you ask your mother about that?"

"I did and she said to talk to you. So…"

Han looked at Chewie for backup, but the Wookiee just shrug his shoulders, not knowing what to say.

"Well…" Han started, but he was not able to finish the sentence.

"Yes. I'm going to have a baby sister," Ani said starting to jump up and down.

"Wait, I didn't say that," Han started but with no success.

"Mama, Papa said it was okay," Ani said. "Uncle Luke, I'm going to have a baby sister."

"Congrats sweetie. You will make a great big brother for sure." Luke said to his nephew.

"Hey please don't encourage him, Luke. Anakin Luke. Wait a minute," Han said but it was to late. The little boy was already telling the news, making the other kids clapping, even Bail who was also happy.

Leia looked at her husband with a big smile on her face.

"Now you know we can't back off of this. We need to give them a baby sister," she winked at him, making Han lay on the blanket and sighed.

"Well I know one thing for sure, I prefer handle another baby than Boba Fett again," he said looking at Luke and Din.

"When is that meeting?" Ines asked looking at them.

"Tomorrow. The sooner the better. Besides it is time for us to get back to Coruscant," Luke informed his wife.

"That would be a fun meeting for sure," Leia replied looking at Han.

"I'm sure it will."

Leia and Ines glare at each other. They were glad that Din was there at least.

Baby Luke is getting big. And Anakin wants a baby sister. Grogu and Din are back. And finally the meeting is approaching.
