Padme carefully shook her daughter, "Leia. Leia, wake up."
"Mmmm? Mommy?" Leia sat up and felt her mother's arms around her.
"It's okay, Leia. It's just time to get up now and I thought you might be hungry." Padme picked her daughter up and carried her down the stairs.
"Is that Leia, Mommy?" piped up what sounded to Leia like a young boy.
"Yes, Luke. Now just let her eat before you show her around, all right?"
"Okay."
Padme put Leia in a chair at the table and brought her a bowl of cereal, the same kind Anakin had given Leia the night before. A young, blond boy with a serious case of bed head clambered onto the chair opposite Leia. He watched intently as she ate and she tried to ignore him. Another girl with black hair climbed onto a chair beside Luke and smiled at her.
"Are you Leia?"
"Yes, who are you?" Leia asked with genuine curiosity.
"My name is Laasya."
Padme's voice came from the spare room she and Anakin were getting ready for Leia, "Luke, what did I tell you about bothering Leia before she's done eating?"
"It's not me, Mom! That's Laasya!"
"Luke, tell Laasya to leave her alone!"
"I can hear you too, you know!" Laasya interjected.
"Well, then, leave your sister alone!"
"Okay! Sorry, Mom!" Laasya turned back to the table to find Leia smiling slightly, "What is it?"
"I've only been an only child." Leia answered.
"Me too. Same for Luke," Laasya gestured to her brother.
Luke just smiled, letting his sisters talk so that his mother wouldn't be annoyed with him. Laasya noticed what he was doing and followed suit.
After Leia had finished with her cereal, she climbed down from the chair and walked around the table. Luke and Laasya both climbed off their chairs too and they started leading her upstairs.
"This is the playroom, but you've already been in here." Laasya said, pointing into the room where Leia had slept.
"I didn't really get a good look. Can we play in there for a while?" Leia asked hopefully.
"Yeah!" Luke added.
"Okay, we can finish the tour later." Laasya said, trying to take the big-sister's place.
Hours later they were still playing. Luke was quite relieved to learn that the girls both liked to play with each other's long hair instead of his shorter hair. Finally, he felt that they didn't really need his company and crawled into one of the beds to go to sleep. He was still a bit lagged because of coming from Naboo. Not that he'd admit it.
Leia didn't even notice that her brother was asleep. She and Laasya played for hours before realizing that Luke wasn't with them.
"Leia, have you seen Luke?"
Leia sat up, "No."
"I just noticed. I haven't seen him in ages." She dragged the A in "ages" to make it sound like a very long time.
Leia stood up in order to start looking for her brother and instantly spotted him on the bed. She sat back down with a bump.
"Shh, Luke's asleep. Mom and Dad wouldn't want us to wake him up." Leia held one finger to her lips and Laasya shrugged.
"Okay."
"I'm gonna get Mom to take him to his room so we can be loud if we want to."
"Okay. See ya in a few minutes." Laasya returned to playing with their tower of blocks.
Leia stood up and tiptoed past her sleeping brother, "Mom? Luke's asleep in the playroom."
"Okay, Leia, I'll be right there." Padme waited for her husband to finish screwing part of Leia's new bed together, then followed her daughter to the playroom. She carefully scooped her son up and carried him into his own room.
Leia trailed her mother back out of the playroom. "Mommy, can we tell my other mommy where I am? She might be worried."
"I'm sure she is worried, Leia. As soon as I put your brother to sleep we'll call her. Okay?"
"Okay."
Padme rested her son on his bed and his small mouth opened slightly. She kissed his forehead and pulled the blankets around him. She stood bacl up and led her daughter to the kitchen so they could call the Organa family in private.
"Hello, Bail Organa speaking."
"Hello, Bail. This is Padme." Leia crawled onto her mother's lap so she could hear the comlink better.
"Padme! I'm so sorry, we're trying to get her back. The Emperor has her locked up in his palace, though, and we can't get to her."
"Hello, Daddy!" Leia interjected.
"Leia? Is that you?" Bail sounded distinctly surprised and Padme laughed gently.
"Yep! I'm with my other parents." Leia said happily.
"That's wonderful, Leia. Are you all right?"
"Yep!" Leia was bouncing slightly because of the happiness of hearing her dad's voice.
"If you would like to come and visit us, we're at Lord Vader's castle on Coruscant. According to Ani we also have a Repubic to rebuild. He killed the Emperor when he wouldn't return our daughter."
"That's fantastic, Padme. I'll be there soon. See you later, Leia." Bail's comlink shut off, leaving Leia and her mother smiling at each other.
"They're really gonna come?" Leia asked.
"Yes, I think they are. Would you like to go back to playing with Laasya?"
Leia hopped off her mother's lap and skipped back to playing with her sister.
