Alright, here I am again submitting another entry.
I'm going to try to make it longer this time, it's true that the previous chapter was very short but I wrote it in a hurry so that you can have a continuation. I'm sorry about that.
By the way, since it's an AU, I may assume things from "Episode III" and even from what's happening between "Episode III" and "A new Hope".
Did any of you read the new Star Wars novel ? Well at least the one issued in France :p That's the one right after Han and Leia get married and they're investigating on Tatooine. I think it's brilliant.
Thanks to my reviewers ! ! ! It's thanks to you that I keep going on ! !
Back to the story ! ! !
***************************************************************************
As they arrived to the Coruscant Medical Canter, Han turned to face all of them. Why was it so difficult? It was a good news after all! He was feeling strange, nearly uneasy to know such a thing whereas Leia and Luke were clueless. Well that is if they didn't have already use their Jedi powers to search his mind. No, he knew them, they would never do that to him. He seemed to be looking for his words and then started to speak.
« Alright, what's behind this door will certainly come as a shock to all of you, as it came to a shock to Mon Mothma."
They all stared at him half in expectation and half out of fear. What could be behind this door?
Leia looked at the door and suddenly realized it was the room where the six frozen people from the Carbonite had been confined.
"Does it have anything relating to the carbonite?" she asked her husband.
"Well it does indeed. It seems they aren't strangers to Mon Mothma."
As they entered the room, they were welcomed by Mon Mothma and the Carbonite Team.
Jaina was looking around as if trying to see if someone or something could give her a clue about what was happening. She didn't need to use the Force to know that all the people that were inside of this room, including her own father, knew something that was very important and she had a feeling it was making them all uncomfortable to know such a thing and not being able to tell them right away. One thing was sure, it was about her family. Maybe they had found something new about her grand-father?
As if trying to think about the better way to start the so much needed conversation, Mon Mothma made her way towards Leia. She took her hand and began to speak.
"Leia, . I just don't know how to start, I think no one can be prepared to such a news." As she realized Leia was starting to frown as if preparing herself to a bad news, she quickly added : "Leia dear, it's not a bad news at all, it's just ." she stopped for a few seconds looking for her words . "You should come here and see this person in this bacta tank."
Leia turned to look at both Han and Luke and then walked near the tank. She was puzzled, eager to finally know the truth and a little scared about discovering it given Mon Mothma uneasiness. She looked at the woman inside carefully as if trying to recognize her. She suddenly moved closer and turned questioningly to face Mon Mothma.
"Is she a clone? I mean it can't be, it's just impossible !! I was only a child back then but I will never forget what she looked like."
Mon Mothma was uneasy and answered her : "We have no idea my dear, we need to wait until she wakes up to question her, even though we took some blood samples to make researches. We need some samples from you and Luke and . well maybe the kids as well just to be sure."
"Yes, I can understand that of course." Answered Leia
"Would someone be kind enough to explain us what's happening?" asked an exasperated Jaina.
Leia turned to her daughter and gestured her to come closer.
"This woman . she's your .. I mean she looks like my mother. It's more than just looking like her, she is her. Either she's a clone, or someone lied to me when I was a child."
Everybody looked at Leia as if she was saying that Palpatine was back.
Even being a very well trained master Jedi, nothing could have prepared Luke to this kind of revelation. Deep in his heart he had always missed his mother, even not having any remembrance of her. He didn't even know if he had ever met her when he was a child. As far as he was concerned, he only knew his uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. That's why he had been so eager to question Leia about their mother when he realized she was his twin. He slowly approached the bacta tank to take a look at the woman that was inside of it.
It wasn't easy to see her very for the bacta was very thick. The medics decided to use the strongest bacta they had to heal the remaining people that were defrost. The only things he could see through it were her long dark hair. Just like Leia, he thought.
They were all around the tank now, each of them trying to get a better look at her. All except Leia that was talking with Mon Mothma.
"I still can't believe it. I'm so scared it's a clone. At this time, clones were so numerous. But why her? What would have been the point in cloning her?"
"I don't know." Answered Mon Mothma. She stopped to look back at the tank and then continued : "The point is, she had been cloned. I can't think of another explanation. She had no twin sister, and even if her handmaidens were selected because they were looking like her so much, not a single one have ever looked like her so much. That's why I'm so sure it's a clone matter. All we need to know now is who is the original one?"
"But why cloning her? We go back to the same problem. I can understand why Palpatine would have put her in carbonite, but cloning her?"
"We need to wait for her to recover and then we'll be able to question her. Leia, do take into account that it's going to be a shock to her as well, clone or not. She spent decades in that block of carbonite."
"I know." Said Leia. "What's worrying me is rather if she's ever going to recover. It's took Han a few seconds to wake up and hours to recover but he had been frozen for six months only, but she had been inside of it for decades like you said."
"Don't worry, we have the best medics." Said Mon Mothma trying to comfort her.
Then Leia came back around the small group and convince them to get out of the medical room to go back to their apartments. They needed all some rest and she wanted to speak with Luke.
While ordering a transport to pick them up, she contacted C 3PO to ask him to prepare a dinner for them all.
