Skywalker64089- Drama, drama, drama. And no, Tahiri doesn't fully remember what happened yet.

InsaneJediGirl- No problem. And yes, some characters may be leaving for a while.

Zealit- That's okay. I know how it is. School has been rough on me this year, too.

Chapter 14

Jag slowly made his way home after one of the longest days of his life. He had just spent his entire afternoon negotiating settlements between what was left of the New Republic and the Imperial remnants. He was an ambassador for the Peace Coalition, whose goal was to bring the once-feuding governments together into a peaceful and supportive partnership. After the Vong threat, many believed that the galaxy's best bet was to bring all of the strong governing bodies together in order to protect themselves from future threats.

And then he received some news that made his day even worse. His brother called him about an hour ago and informed him that both he and Wyn were taking the first available transport out of Naboo tomorrow morning; they were going home.

Home. Sometimes when things seemed really difficult here in the Known Regions Jag would think about taking Jaina and going back to Csillia. Somehow everything in his life seemed simpler when he was there. But he was an adult and he had a life here, a family, and a responsibility. He still missed his parents, though.

Punching in the security code, Jag walked through his front door. He was exhausted to the point of collapsing on his couch until he saw that his wife was already vacating it: along with a near empty bottle of Corellian ale. Suddenly awake, he walked over to her and kneeled down on the floor. "Jaina, sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"My mom called this morning," she said between sips of the dark liquid. Jag could smell the alcohol on her breath, and from the look of her eyes it seemed like she had been going at it for several hours.

"And what did she say?"

Jaina went to take another sip but ended up missing her mouth and splashing some of the ale onto her husband. "She wanted to give me the great news herself. My mother, all forty-nine years of her, is pregnant."

Jag felt the blow from her news. Something that he and Jaina wanted so badly but were so far unable to achieve was given to her mother. Leia should be expecting a grandchild right now, not another child of her own. But at the same time he was happy for Leia and ashamed of his wife's behavior. Getting drunk wasn't going to give them a baby. Grabbing the bottle out of her hand, Jag stood back up. "Jaina, stop this. It isn't your fault that you aren't pregnant, but it isn't your mother's fault either."

Jaina was suddenly angry. "Jag, what do you know about it? My mom has already had three kids and she wasn't there for any of us. The Force shouldn't be giving her the chance to have another!"

"Jaina, you don't mean that."

"And what if I do?"

"What is the matter with you? Stop being so hard on yourself. Maybe you should be happy for your mother and let our problems work themselves out."

"Jag, just shut up! But you know what, you're right. Cilghal said there was nothing wrong with me, so what if it's you? Maybe you are the problem!"

"Jaina, stop this. You're drunk. Go get yourself some caf and go to bed."

"Jagged Fel, stop trying to control my life!"

"Control your life? Jaina, I'm your husband. I love you!"

Jaina just glared at him. "Yeah, well I need to get out." Walking towards the door, she called out over her shoulder, "I'll see you later." But as soon as Jaina went out her front door, she realized she didn't really have anywhere else to go. On a whim, she decided she was going to go pay an old friend a visit.

Jaina made her way down the hallways of her living complex until she reached the door she saw Kyp Durron come out of just days before. Knocking loudly, Jaina called out, "Kyp, let me in!"

The door was opened by the dark haired Jedi Master only seconds later. Rubbing sleep out of his eyes, he said, "Jaina. What are you doing here?"

"Jag and I got in a fight. Can I stay here tonight?"

This stunned Kyp a bit. Jag and Jaina were fighting? "Sure Goddess." Stepping aside to let her in, he questioned, "What are you two fighting about?"

"Oh, nothing. I just can't seem to get pregnant, that's all. Can I get a drink?"

A little confused, Kyp simply nodded and went to get two bottles of a highly potent alcohol. Handing Jaina one, he opened the other for himself. "So, what made you choose my place to come crash at?"

"Well, I'm not about to go to my parent's house after my mother stabbed me in the back by getting pregnant. And the Jedi Academy is too far away to go to right now. Plus, I like you Kyp. You know how to let go and kick back a few drinks unlike my husband. He is so stuffy and stiff!"

Kyp nearly choked. "Jaina, are you okay? I mean maybe you don't need that drink."

"Kyp, I'm fine. Just let me get wasted if I want to. In fact, maybe you should too. You always seem so unhappy every time I see you."

Silently agreeing with her, Kyp chugged the rest of his drink. Over the next couple of hours they both went through several more. By the time Kyp ran out of alcohol they were both messed up. Not even knowing what he was doing, Kyp leaned over and did something he had wanted to do for years. He kissed Jaina Solo. And then he kissed her again.

Rather than pushing him away the way her instincts would have told her to do five hours ago, Jaina grabbed the man in front of her by the collar and pulled him closer.

Kyp's arms went around the petite brunette sitting in his kitchen. Picking her up as if she didn't way a pound, he carried Jaina back into his bedroom. Tossing her down on the bed, they began to undress each other in a mad frenzy. Not even bothering to undo the buttons across Kyp's shirt, Jaina simply began to tear the material. It came off easily in her hands.

Kyp took her fast, making this woman he had loved from a far for so long his own. Running his hands over her body, he relished this drunken moment, because somewhere deep inside his mind he knew it would never happen again. When the time came, they both screamed with release. Kyp collapsed down onto Jaina as they both passed out.

What do you think? Please don't hurt me!
