Chapter 7

"Honey, I'm home!" Han called as he entered the apartment. The door banged against the door angrily and Obi-Wan immediately put his hand out to catch it.

Han however didn't seem to mind and kept walking. He walked into the living room and took a look around. The room was completely empty, but he could hear some noise in the kitchen. Han smiled, recognizing Leia voice and the babblings of the twins. He spread his arms out wide.

"Hey! What does a guy have to do to get some attention around here?" The talking stopped. The door to the kitchen was pushed open slightly. Two babbling twins came crawling out, going towards him as fast as they could.

Han scooped them both up into his arms and swung them around. He laughed as they giggled and clung to him, babbling and calling out "dada!" as loud as their voices would let them.

Obi-Wan smiled at the scene, his eyes growing a far away look. His mind raced to the thought of watching Anakin in Han's stead, and what the sith and many Jedi took away from him. Obi-Wan sighed.

Jacen looked over at him and began babbling and pointing. "Keni… knini…"

Obi-Wan's eyebrows went up and Han laughed.

"I severely doubt he knows who I am," Kenobi answered.

Han shrugged. "Keni—Kenobi… Ah, well, close enough."

They both laughed.

Then the door to the kitchen opened again. Leia came out Leia stepped forward and hugged Han tightly. "It's good you're safe."

Another young woman stepped out and Obi-Wan's eyes widened in surprise. Han was shocked as well.

"Who cloned my wife?" he asked sarcastically. "Or is she back from the dead too?"

Leia's looked at him in surprise. "Han this is my mother."

Padme reached out and shook Han's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Han's face still looked quite frozen but he snapped out of it when Leia elbowed him in the ribs. He took his mother-in-law's hand and shook it. "Yes, it's great to meet you too…" he paused and then put on a smirk. "However, I must confess that I didn't expect to have the honor."

Padme smiled and nodded. "Nor did I."

"Well, you look marvelous for your age."

The three laughed and then Leia saw Obi-Wan. "Master Kenobi!" She walked over. "You've returned as well."

Obi-Wan pried his eyes away from Padme slowly. Seeing here was a shock he hadn't been prepared for. "Yes, I have, milady. It's good to see you well."

Padme stepped forward and took his hand. "It's so good to see you, Obi-Wan."

He nodded. "It's great to see you, too, milady." Then he looked down at the floor before matching her gaze. "I believe there is something we should discuss."

Han's hands immediately went up. "Dinner first?"

Obi-Wan shook his head. "Feel free, but I haven't the time, I'm afraid. Padme," he turned to her. "I am not the only Jedi who has returned and there are some Sith that have returned.

Padme's eyes darkened slightly. "Then Leia, we have no time to lose. We must work with the senate immediately."

Leia nodded. "I'll see if we can call an emergency session." She left for the halo phone.

Han's eyebrows went up and he looked down at a very confused Jacen and Jaina. "I know exactly what you're thinking. What about food?!"

"Do you know any specifics of who has returned, Master Obi-Wan?" Padme asked, immediately switching into her politician mode. "Or what the Sith are up to."

"No we don't."

Padme wanted an explanation. "We?"

Obi-Wan hesitated for only a moment. "Padme, Anakin's returned."
