He found them a new base. He had secured them a sponsor, for at least a little while. The rebels were woken with the arrival of new clothes one day. The entire force was re-outfitted. The moral of the crews had been on the rise ever since he had been back. But he still would not speak of where he had been, or what had happened to him during those months in which they had heard nothing from him. When they had thought he was dead.

The base he had found them was in the middle of everything, but far enough out of the way that they would have a chance to get their feet under them before moving out again. No one in Imperial Intelligence would ever think to look for them here. Selonia's smallest moon was the ideal location for the Rebellion. Space movement and surface movement was kept to a minimum so they wouldn't draw in even the little attention that would pass them by. Control, Intelligence, and all of the other head organizations caught up on paperwork and the planning of the new base. Luke had taken a group to scout Tatooine for any place that remotely fit their ideals for an out of the way station. An abandoned Hutt fortress was exactly what they were looking for. It was the perfect place for the Alliance to plan their next moves. It seemed like they were always on the move, always on the run.

It rained here, on Selonia's moon. Leia was certain she would miss it's soothing presence. The rain was coming down and Leia was listening to the new story it had to tell when he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Hey."

"Hey," she whispered. She wished he would just hold her and be quiet so she could listen. She loved these times. But the silence didn't last.

"I thought you were going to try and get some sleep," he said.

"I couldn't. I don't know why I can't sleep these days. Maybe I'm just anxious about being out here, it's too close to the Core for my comfort. And the Navy is getting antsy about the situation too. We can't stay here much longer, but I'm not looking forward to Tatooine either," she said quietly.

"Umm," he growled deep in his throat, "so what have you been doing?"

" Listening to the rain. I'll miss it. I'll miss it a lot. I love the rain, it's so soothing, so peaceful. It's the only peace I have, aside from the sleep I seldom get anymore."

She had fifteen minutes to decide how to tell him. She had fifteen minutes to decide how to tell him that her life, his life, their lives were to be changed forever and that they wouldn't be remaining the way they were for very long. She had fifteen minutes to resolve the issue of how to not cry when she told him. She had fifteen minutes to face up to the fact that everything was no longer alright. She had fifteen minutes to come up with a way to show her happiness and sadness in the matter. She had fifteen minutes.

I should've known something was wrong. I should've known so long ago. I can't believe I didn't realize it before. I can't believe it has gone so long unnoticed.

Ten minutes until he would be here. Ten minutes until their lives would change forever. Ten minutes until she would have to collapse into him in order to remain upright and not crumple into a pitiful pile on the floor. Ten minutes to will the tears away.

How could I have not known? How? How? How?

Five minutes, gods the time was going by fast. He would be there in five minutes.

What am I going to tell him? I can't just blurt it out. What am I going to do? I'll just calm down first, it isn't as bad as I am making it out to be. Maybe it'll go away.

But she was becoming more and more aware of it and when he knocked on the door, she could not hide anymore. He saw the look of trepidation engraved on her features. His immediately took on concern. "Leia, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong exactly, Han," her eyes began to fill with the tears she had willed away. Apparently emotions were stronger than will.

"Then what is going on?" he asked.

"Han, I, the med center, you, Luke, the Rebellion, Reeikan, Dodonna, Mothma, me," she stopped and focused her thoughts as he enveloped her in his arms.

"Shhh, just tell me."

She couldn't bring herself to look at him. She closed her eyes and breathed one word.

Pregnant.

A/N: I know, that was a cheesy chapter, I wasn't planning on writing it, the next and last one will hopefully be better.
