Chapter 22

Jaina and Tahiri spent the entire afternoon together that day but they tried to avoid discussing anything that had to do with Jag, the baby, or Jaina's marriage. By nightfall Jaina had decided that it was time to head on back over to her parent's place and she invited Tahiri to come stay the night with her. Although the two girls had never been too close in previous years, Anakin's death had really brought them together and ever since they would try and spend as much time as possible together.

The two young women were still deep in conversation when they arrived at the Solo apartment. Turning away from her friend just long enough to punch in the passcode, Jaina continued listening to the seventeen year old's story about hers and Anakin's first kiss. Laughing, the two girls entered the home at the same time and were stopped in their tracks.

The lights were off, but people were definitely home. Upon their entrance, dozens of darkened faces popped out of hiding spots and cried, "Surprise." Her eyes adjusting to the dark, Jaina could make out the faces of everyone from her parents, to Aunt Mara, to Mirax Horn.

"What is all this about?" Jaina questioned cautiously, while glancing over at Tahiri who looked just as confused.

"Your father and I decided we were going to hold a surprise baby shower for you," Leia said as she walked towards her daughter with a huge grin on her face.

"A baby shower," Tahiri questioned, knowing that this was bad.

"Yes. Didn't Jaina tell you she was pregnant? Well, don't feel bad if she didn't because she didn't tell any of us either."

Noting that the look on Jaina's face was not one of joy, Mara stepped towards her niece and asked, "Jaina, are you okay?"

Not able to say a word, Jaina turned around and ran out the door of her parents home.

A room full of confused eyes turned their questioning gazes towards Tahiri, who was currently switching on the room's overhead lights.

"Tahiri, do you know what that was all about?" Luke asked.

The blonde girl simply walked over to the Solo's couch and plopped down. "Yeah. You guys probably just started up a mental breakdown."


Jaina ran from her parent's home as fast as her legs would carry her. She wasn't just running away from her baby shower; no, she was running from her pain, running from her mistakes. But it seemed that no matter how fast she went, she couldn't escape them.

Turning a corner sharply, Jaina pounded into someone who only made her feel considerably worse. Kyp. She hadn't seen or spoken to the man in over a month- not since their little incident. And now she had just run straight into him, knocking them both down onto their backs.

"Gees, Jaina. Do you ever watch where you are going?"

That was all the girl could take before she burst into tears.

Not knowing what he said wrong, Kyp just crawled over to his former apprentice and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her like this, he felt incredibly awkward. He hadn't seen her since he got up that morning to take a shower. When he got out less than ten minutes later he had found his bed empty. It was probably for the best though. He knew that somehow despite the fact that Jaina had come onto him, he would have been the target of her wrath that morning.
Jaina let him hold her for a few minutes as she cried before pulling away abruptly. "I need to go."

"Wait," Kyp said while still holding onto her arm. "Jaina, I haven't seen you in over a month. Are you okay? Where have you been?"
"No Kyp, I'm not okay. My marriage is falling apart. I've been staying with my parents because my husband kicked me out of my own house. How would you be?"

"Look Jay, I'm sorry. But it wasn't entirely my fault."

"I never said it was."

"Well Jag apparently thinks it was."

"You've talked to him," she said softly, a bit of jealousy creeping into her voice.

"Jaina, I live down the corridor from you. Of course I've run into him. Or maybe I should say he ran into me. With his fist."

"You two got into a fight over me?"

"Actually it wasn't really over anything. I just left my apartment one morning and there he was. I'm lucky to still be alive."

"No offense Kyp, but how can you be a Jedi Master if my husband can beat you up with his bare hands?"

"I took it like a man, Jaina. I deserved every swing he took at me."

"You mean you didn't even attempt to defend yourself?"

"Not really. I would have done the exact same thing if I were him."

Jaina settled back down on the ground beside Durron. "I wish he would do that with me."

"What? Hit you?"

"No. Confront me. I've left a couple of messages for him, but he never calls back. He thoroughly and completely hates me."

"Jaina, he does not hate you. If he hated you he wouldn't have bothered to come after me. I'm the one he hates. You…he's just angry. But give him time; you're love will come out strong."

Jaina wished she could believe Kyp's words, but she knew that there was another twist. A secret that would make Jag hate her if he didn't already. "I'm not so sure about that. Kyp- I'm pregnant."

"What?" was all he could manage to say but his shock was evident across his face.

"I know. How ironic, isn't it. The thing that my husband and I wanted so badly is what is going to destroy what is left of our marriage."

"But do you know for sure? I mean, that it's mine?"

"Not positively, but you were the last person I have been with and Jag and I hadn't been successful at getting pregnant before-"

"That doesn't prove anything though. Maybe the timing was just wrong all of those other times. This baby could be your husbands."

"Believe me Kyp, that's what I want. But I just don't know."

"Does he know that you're pregnant?"

Jaina shook her head. "I don't know how to tell him." Feeling uncomfortable again, Jaina stood back up. "I have to go. Please don't say anything to Jag if you see him."

"Oh, don't worry Goddess. I try to avoid him if at all possible."

"Thanks Kyp," she said and she gave him a weak smile.

By the time Jaina had made her way back to her parent's home, all of the guests were gone including Tahiri. Walking through the door, Jaina headed in the direction of the guest bedroom where she had been staying without stopping.

"Honey," she could hear her mom call out.

Pausing at her door, Jaina spoke without turning around. "I just want to get some sleep Mom."

Pain was evident in her mother's voice when she replied, "Okay, baby. Okay."

So, we're over halfway to the end now and I still have some drama to throw at you! Don't you love me? ; )
