"What's goin' on Leia?" Han asks me as he pulls me out of his arms.
"It's horrible." I whispered, but then flung myself back into his arms.
"Tell me."
"I can't."
"Why?"
I stared up at him and he looked at me and smiled. Oh goddess. I love him! He's the only one who truly loved me. Even my father didn't truly love me! I started to cry, and he took his thumb and whipped my tears away. "Don't cry. Please. What's goin' on?"
"Come on." I said, taking his hand tightly in mine and walking towards the end of the bridge, sitting down on a small bench that was there. How was I going to tell Han…the man I am madly in love with…that Darth Vader is my father?
"What happened?" Han asked me, trying to keep his cool.
"Luke…left."
"Left? Why?"
"He thought that he was endangering…us…and our mission here, on Endor."
"How?"
"He needed to face Vader… he could feel that he was here on this moon."
"He could feel that he was here? What?"
"He uses the force, Han. The force is strong in his family. His dad was the same way."
"Ah. I see. So why are you crying?"
Han's POV
Oh goddess! I know why she's crying!! She's in love with the boy! She's in love with that farm boy!
But all that we've been through? How could she love him?
Han Solo, you stupid smuggler, she fell in love with the damn kid while you were in carbonite! But what about her declarations of love to me?
What about that?
Oh son of a sith!
I hate that kid!
Leia's POV
"I'm crying because…Luke…he told me the truth."
"The truth?" He asked me, confused.
"Yes. The truth about my parenthood. Bail Organa…" I started, but Han cut me off.
"Yeah. I know Bail. What about him? He's your dad that got destroyed with your planet, Alderaan, too." Han said.
"No! See, that's just it. Bail isn't my dad! Well, he's not my real dad. He's my step-dad. I never knew my real dad. My real dad is…" I turned away from him.
"Who?"
I looked down at the ground.
Han started to laugh. "It would be funny if it was Lando!!"
I looked up at him with a petrified stare. "It's Vader."
"Huh? What about Vader?"
"Vader's my father." I whispered to him.
He started to laugh. "Yeah right!"
"Han…I'm not lying." I said, looking at him with a depressed look on my face. He stopped laughing when he saw my look.
Han's POV
Vader?
Her father?
Yeah right.
But that look she's giving me now…it proves she's not lying.
But how...why… Vader?? What??
"Vader…" I said. "Vader…the man that tortured you is your…father?"
Leia nodded her head, and I wrapped my arms around her body and pulled her close to me. I let her cry into my shirt.
I can't believe it.
Her father, Darth Vader, was the one who tortured her and almost killed her.
She lost her mother when she was little girl, she barely even knew her.
Her home planet was destroyed because of her father.
She almost lost…well…me.
She got fired from the rebel alliance by Mon Mothma, and then got re-hired.
She was trembling in my arms, and I my arms tightened around her.
"I'm sorry Leia."
She just started to cry harder.
