The group arrived at the rendezvous a few days later. Luke and Padme spent that time getting to know each other better behind closed doors. It was very hard for Padme, one child in the light and the other in the dark of who she was. As insane as her life was, this was the worst. She shook her head slightly as she helped Luke stand up and make it to the door where Lando took him away. Be safe. She thought as Leia's arm rested across her shoulders.

"He'll be okay." The 23 year old said. Padme looked at her daughter. They were the same height now and Padme could clearly see the sadness in her daughter's eyes.

"What about you?" She asked. Leia froze and turned to Padme. "It's okay to cry once in a while." Padme said. Leia nodded and hugged her mother tightly as the tears fell and her throat closed up. Padme held her daughter close, thanking the Force she could have a moment like this with her. Someday soon, she thought, this will end and Leia'll hate me. She knew her daughter acted on her instincts and could very well hate Padme for the rest of their short time together. Padme shook her head. She needed to think about the present instead of the future. As soon as Leia's tears dried up, the girls went to the infirmary and found Luke with a medical droid.

"What's going on?" Leia asked as they approached.

"He needs a mechanical hand." The droid answered.

"How long will that take?" Padme asked.

"A few months I'm afraid." The droid said. Luke groaned.

"It'll be fine." Leia reassured, "The rebellion can survive without you for a little while and in the mean time we can plan a way to save Han."

"Han?" Luke asked, "What happened to Han?"

"He…he…" Leia couldn't get it out.

"He was frozen in carbonite." Padme whispered.

"Oh." Luke said, looking down, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Padme said, "We'll save him." She was trying to cheer her children up. She hated to see them like this. And to think, a voice nagged in her head, this is all Ani's fault. Padme shook her head. No. That wasn't Ani. She told the voice and she repeated this over and over as she tried to engage the twins in a conversation.

Months passed and soon the day came for Luke to get his hand. As Luke's hand was attached, with Leia and Padme by his side, Lando and Chewie were talking through a comm link. They had known Boba Fett had Han and have been searching for him for months. They finally found him on Tatooine. The plan was to send Lando and Chewie in to find the easiest way to get close to Han, send Padme later and follow with the droids and Luke and Leia soon after. The Falcon left as Luke's hand was attached. Padme stood by a large window with Leia when Luke walked over. Noticing the sad expressions, he put one arm across Leia's shoulders and the other across Padme's, comforting both his mother and his sister. A small smile crossed Padme's lips as they watched the Falcon begin its long journey to find their friend.

I know another short chapter but it couldn't be helped! They don't give you any information to how long it took to get Luke's hand so I just made it a few months and threw in another mother daughter moment! I figured Leia would've cracked eventually.
