Hey Princess,

We went under comm silence awhile ago, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner. I know you must be worried to death. I'm lucky I could even get this out when we had to ship command some reports. Something's up out here, we don't know what yet, but something is definitely wrong. Hopefully they hadn't spotted us before we got the cloakers up. They being Imps or what ever is out there, but most likely Imps. We even had to take the Rogues into the bays indefinitely, and an unoccupied Rogue Squadron is causing all kinds of terrible and ridiculous havoc.

It's like hell around here sweetheart, especially without you here. I still look at that holo I got of you before I left. I look at it every day when I get up and every night if and when I finally hit the sack. I still wake up on a constant basis, looking for your warmth. Just remember that I'm out here for you, and those two little ones in you stomach. Uh, that sounded odd. I wish I could be there, be there for you. But I'm out here for you, so I guess that'll have to do. Maybe I'll make the galaxy a safer place to raise those little kids we're going to have running around soon. And for the innocents, I've seen too many innocent lives lost because there wasn't a competent military officer.

You're so beautiful Leia, I love you with all my soul.

Promise me you're eating, and not working yourself to death. I'm fine, don't stress over me, just stay healthy and take care of those little ones.

If I don't make it back, just know that I love you.

And when I do get back, I have a surprise for you.


She absentmindedly rubbed her growing stomach, feeling for a kick from one of the two little lives inside of her.

Han's right, that does sound odd.

She was halfway through her second trimester, and she was feeling the effects. She was either exhausted or starving and more often than not both.

Jaina and Jacen, the thought slipped through her mind, the perfect names. They just fit, somehow she knew they would fit her children. And hopefully they would never have to go through what she had endured during her lifetime.


Han wandered through the Rebel frigate, completely lost. They had changed bases three times since he had left, and now they were on the ships, looking for another one. Hopefully they wouldn't be on the run for long. They had intercepted the plans for the second Death Star and learned that both Darth Vader and the Emperor would be aboard to oversee it's final stages. They just had to get to Endor before it was moved.

He ran into Luke first.

"Have you seen Leia? I know you've only been here as long as I have, but…" he asked.

"No Han, I'm just as lost as you are, this new ship is too big for it's own good."

Han sighed after Luke walked off. The techs in the docking bay had told him fiftieth level, three hatches down, and two left turns would take him to command quarters. Right now he was in the middle of a hallway full of storage rooms. Where in the nine Corellian hells could she be?

Reluctantly he took out his comm link and called command. There, one of the officers gave him turn by turn directions to Leia's room, ten levels up and one slidewalk ride to the other end of the ship.

He smoothed over his hair, then took a deep breath, which did nothing to calm his nerves. He was going to be meeting his kids for the first time. He had no clue how to be a father, because he had never had one. As he reached up to knock, the door slid open and there stood Leia.

"Han!" she jumped into his arms. "Oh thank goddess you're here. I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too, sweetheart," he sighed into her hair, pulling her tighter against him.

"Do you want to meet them?" she almost whispered. Maybe he wasn't ready for the little bundles of joy and frustration the twins were.

"You bet," he said, his nerves totally shot. But when he saw the two angelic faces his nervousness melted away. "They're beautiful."

She picked up the little boy and laid him in Han's arms, "This is Jacen." Then she picked up the little girl and held her next to Han," And this is Jaina."

"Jacen and Jaina. Perfect," he smiled, causing another smile to grace Leia's lips. "They are perfect, just like you sweetheart."
