Disclaimer: I do Not Own Star Wars

Chapter 2: Hope

I laid on the bed flowers all around me. Zekk was crying running his hands through my hair. He could not believe this was happening not to him not to his girl.

"This is all my fault I was suppose to protect you."

"Since when has a Solo needed protecting?"

I opened my eyes and he smiled letting out a sign of relief. I had a wrap around my stomach and a cast on my arm and leg. Everything came flooding back to me.

"Are you and the kids ok!?!"

"I have stitches in my back nothing I can't handle. And you can relax all the kids were unharmed and safely back with their parents or at the temple thanks to you."

"Where am I?"

He turned bright red and I held back a giggle.

"Uh…My room…"

I burst out laughing which hurt but I ignored it and gave him my Solo grin.

"Does my dear old Dad, who carries his trusty gun with him everywhere, know that I am here in your bed."

"No."

"Than I should be going before you get shot for no reason other than saving my life…They just arrived on planet."

As if on cue the door opened and Ganner walked in.

"Thank the Force you are ok Goddess!"

I leaned up hugging Zekk and whispered in his ear.

"Thank you I owe you my life."

"But as I recall you have saved my life six times more than I have yours."

We laughed and Ganner picked me up carrying me to my quarters. Jag had been pronounce dead six months ago no body found, and Ganner had been there keeping me alive. It took five months but we were finally together only my family knew. Once we got to my quarters I pulled him down onto the bed next to me. He must have known something was bugging me.

"What's wrong Jaya?"

"It's Zekk…I feel really bad he said he love me…"

"I'll kill him!"
I caught his arm as he went to leave.

"He doesn't I'm spoken for please stay."

I looked at him pleading with him through my eyes. He sat back down reluctantly and wrapped his arm around me.

"I love you Jaina Solo."

"I love you too."

I saw him using the force to bring something to him and I gave him a questioning look. My eyes lit up when two kittens floated into his hands.

"I see you like your presents."

I wrapped my arm around his neck and kissed him than broke apart petting the purring kittens. The little boy had long grey hair and a green jingling collar. The other one was a little girl who had short grey hair and white stripes with a red jingling collar. I looked at what he had named them. The baby girl's name plate said Selena and the boy's said Tai. After playing with them a while they jumped down and went into the other room to sleep. Ganner rolled over on me holding himself over me giving the most mischievous look.

"You do know you will have to do all the work and be very gentle."

"Hey only for you."

This made me smile and he started kissing and undressing us. He ran his hands up my naked body looking at me eye's twinkling in the moon light.

"Jaina you are the prettiest woman this galaxy has to offer and I am just glad you chose me."

"I don't deserve you…"

"Jaina you have it the wrong way believe me. If anyone doesn't deserve someone its me."

I put my arms around his neck and pulled him down locking lips. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and went to work…

I awoke the next morning to the door chiming and Ganner got out of bed pulling on pants and a

T-shirt, knowing it was my parent's, to get the door. I used the force to slip into sweats and Ganner came back carrying me to the couch seeming how I was suppose to be on bed rest. He sat next to me and my parent's sat opposite on the other couch. My aunt and uncle chose the two remaining chair and Jacen seated himself on the floor with Ben in his lap. My two grey kitties went running across the room and Ben caught sight of them giving chase.

"Kitties!"

I looked at my aunt and uncle who had their eye brows raised.

"It's ok, don't worry Ganner gave them to me they are fine with him."

Ganner rubbed my leg and Jacen smiled.

"Finally a man who likes animals after my sister."

We all laughed as my dad gave Ganner the evil glare for touching me.

"Jeez Dad he has touched more than that!"

We both went scarlet and I looked at Jacen wide eyed.

"Oh No He Hasn't!!!"

I laughed on the inside at my father he still saw me as his little girl who was with no other guy.

"Ya Jacen what were you thinking?"

My aunt rolled her eyes making everyone laugh besides my dad who had crossed his arm continuing his glare.

"How are you feeling baby?"

"Like I was crushed and shot!"

My mother shook her head.

"I'm so sorry if I had known you life would have gone like this…"

"You would have still allowed me to join the Rouge's because I am a great pilot who can pull off many things others can't!"

"Jaina it almost cost you your life!"

"Which is the Jedi way! To serve the force putting your life on the line to keep the balance! Everyone is risking their lives! Many are dying! It isn't just me!"

"You shouldn't have to!"

"It's in my blood! It's the right thing to do! I have worked and trained all my life to do this! It made me the girl I am today! I save lives! I fight evil seeking peace! It is the best thing I can do I only wish you could be proud of me!"

She stood frowning and left. My dad got up and kissed me.

"I'm proud of you."

"I know."

He left chasing after my mother.

"I don't get Leia! Why does she ride Jaina so hard and not the boys, is it because I trained her and not you?"

"No Mara, it's not because of you. Leia always thought the boys would take after Han and Jaina her, but Jaina is most like her father."

"But Jaina works for peace like Leia."

"But I'm not a princess…I am not in the government, I am on the battle field first and last out."

Mara frowned almost in tears and Ben ran to her.

"I'm sorry Jaina…but we are proud of you."

I hugged them and said goodbye Jacen following them. Ganner kissed me causing me to smile.

"I love you Jaina."

I turned as my door opened and both our mouths dropped as Jag walked in…
