This brings us back to where I am now. Lying beside Tenel Ka, with my jumpsuit beside the bed in a pile. Tenel Ka's reptilian armor, off to the side. The sun is rising. I lay back down and stare into Tenel Ka's sleeping face. Her ever braided and perfect hair was tousled from last night's playful banter. "Tenel Ka," I said while softly rocking her awake.

Her stone gray eyes opened and stared into my own eyes. "We are going to be parents soon, aren't we?" I asked. "Jacen, why do you ask questions you already know the answer too?" she said, knowingly. I smiled and gave her a soft, passionate kiss.

Just then, I heard beeping from out side the door. Some one was taking down the shield generator. Anakin, Zekk, Jaina, Tenel Ka, Uncle Luke, Lowbacca, and of course I knew the password. The shield went down and the door slid open to my aquarium like room. Jaina stood there, mouth opened with shock. "OK, obviously you two are busy. I was going to ask how things went, but I have changed my mind. Breakfast is done. Come when you are ready." The door shut again.

"Well," I said "Let's tell everyone the great news."

I took a seat next to Jaina. Breakfast was sort of quiet, except for Em Teedee.

"Oh master Lowbacca! You must be a little more polite. You are eating ravenously! You are going to need another bath to get all of the crumbs out of your fur."

Then, out of nowhere, Jaina blurted out "Jacen and Tenel Ka made love last night."

Everyone, except Lowbacca, Tenel Ka and I, gasped. Lowbacca let out a Wookiee gasp, which is more of a growl. "Jaina!" I whispered to her. "What?" she answered. "Everyone heard you any way. You practically rocked the fortress."

A slapped a hand against my forehead. This isn't how I wanted every one to find out. "OK every body" I groaned "I think now is the time for you to know that Tenel Ka and I…" I inhaled. "are getting married."

There was a silence.

"Married?" Anakin said. "That's wonderful! Do you know when you are going to have it? Where? Since I am your brother, can I conduct the wedding? Oh, this is going to be great!"

I smiled. "Anakin, we haven't planned that far yet. She agreed just last night."

"Oh yes! This is quite wonderful!" EmTeedee chirped. "I do know more than 200 marriage ritual, including human marriage."

I am Luke Skywalker. The Force is drawing me to Tatooine. I do not know why, but somewhere in Mos Eisly, a dark force is lurking. I tried to focus on who, or what, it was. Then, I had a vision.

I saw the dark Jedi Darth Kratios. He was a hooded figure that wore a robe that covered every part of his body, except his gloved hands. Any way, he crept to his master's room, a sharp dagger in his gloved hand. He was going to murder his master. I remember the tale. Palpatine told Vader, my father, the tale to help turn him to the dark side. Any way, he entered his master's room. His master lay there, unknowing of his upcoming doom. Kratios raised the dagger and plunged it into his master's chest. His master woke, and Kratios stared into his eyes as the life drained from him. Then, something unexpected happened. Black electricity exited from Kratios's master's body and went onto Kratios. I knew what was going on. The Sith powers were being transferred from the master to Kratios. I could sense Kratios's pleasure.

The vision ended. This dark side presence was obviously Darth Kratios. But Kratios was said to have died of an ill plague more than 1,500 years ago. How could he be here, and now?

Then, on the control panel, a holographic image of Jacen appeared. "Luke? Uncle Luke? Are you there? There is something very important I must tell you." He said, while fidgeting with his fingers. I turned on the comm link "What is it? Is any body hurt?" I said.

"No, no. Everybody is fine." he said. I breathed a quick sigh of relief. "Last night," Jacen continued "Tenel Ka agreed to marry me. I have already called mom and dad. They know about everything. The wedding is scheduled to be three standard months from now." He hardly stopped to breathe in between sentences.

I fell speechless. My nephew and former student were to be wed in three standard months. The words stumbled out of my mouth. "Th-th-that's g-gr-great!" I could barely speak.

"That is not all." Jacen said. He inhaled deeply. "In nine standard months, Tenel Ka and I are going to be parents."

That took me more by surprise than the marriage. "You mean you…and Tenel Ka…" I stammered. "You…made…love? Got busy?"

Jacen laughed. "Yeah. But believe it or not, you took to it better than mom and dad did. They spoke so loud and fast. I couldn't catch a word." I laughed at the thought of my sister and brother-in-law being half angry and half happy.

Then, I saw the desert planet Tatooine start to appear in the distance. "O.K. Jacen, I have to go. Tatooine is coming close. Before I go though, I must warn you. There is an evil called Darth Kratios lurking here. If I do return, ask me the following question: What is q-r-k-w-p-zero? If I do not respond with J, you must kill me. It would be Kratios taking over my body."

"Uhhh, O.K." Jacen said, confused.

I got closer to Tatooine and entered its atmosphere. I had a soft landing about a mile from Mos Eisly. No problem. I used to Force to enhance my speed.
