Shmi Lars

When Qui-Gon came and freed Ani, I was so delighted. He took my boy and trained him, and Ani gained a father. If nothing else went right again, I would have that to cling to.

I had no dreams when I met Cliegg. He was kind, friendly, but no more. Who'd have thought that he'd love me? But he did—enough to free me. Overnight, I went from slave to wife.

Owen is a wonderful son. But I can't help wondering about Ani… does he know he has a family?

Oh, Cliegg, couldn't you have found me earlier?


Here's another from Shmi's POV, since so many of you asked for one.

Shameless plug: GO SEE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY! It's hilarious... and the SW preview in front doesn't hurt, either...

Piles of thanks to the best reviewers in the galaxy: mine! You are the awesomest!
