Chapter 5: Disappointment
We got out of the car and went into the large building finding the apartment. My heart was going a thousand miles per hour. Right when I got to the door I knocked so not to lose my nerve. Seconds later the door opened and my father ran out tackling Lando in a bear hug.
"Hey Han lets go for a walk…Give the girl some time!"
I flashed him a grateful smile as they walked off and went in the house closing the door.
"Mom!"
I walked down into the living room and she appeared out of her office.
"Oh Jaina I am glad you stopped by. I wanted to apologize for how I acted before at your apartment!"
We both sat on the couch and I shook my head.
"Don't worry about it mom. I have to tell you something…But I am so scared to…"
She put her hand on my shoulder looking at me full of worry.
"Honey you can tell me anything!"
Right than the door opened and Jacen came to my side holding me knowing how hurt I was.
"Mom…during the month together Ganner and I got really close… and I found out that he…"
I started to cry but continued.
"I made some bad choices and as a result I am pregnant with his baby and…Vale is too he cheated on me."
My mom got up tears streaming down her face. She clapped her hand over her mouth turning her back on me looking out the window. I turned melting into Jacen balling my eyes out. Before any of us had time to cool down my dad and Lando entered. My dad ran to me holding me.
"Leia what did you do to her!?!"
My mother spun furious shaking.
"I didn't do anything! I obviously didn't do enough!"
My dad went standing in front of her.
"Somebody better tell me what the hell is going on right now!"
"OUR daughter! And that Ganner!"
"Our daughter and Ganner….what?"
"He got our daughter
and Vale pregnant!!!"
Jacen immediately stood up placing
himself in front of me as my father went bright red.
"WHAT!?! That son of a bitch is going to die!"
My father ran for the door as Lando grabbed him trying to restrain him I jumped up at the breaking point. My dad reached for his trusty blaster.
"Lando don't make me shoot you to through you to tear Ganner's beating heart out!"
"Han come on buddy just calm down and lets talk this out before you leave guns blazing!"
"He hurt my baby girl! My baby girl is having a baby! He messed with her! He used those crazy Jedi mind tricks to get her!"
"Han she is a big girl. She made one mistake in her whole life."
"She is not responsible for this! Oh I am going to kill Luke. He said the Jedi are good…You don't have to worry about Jaina….She is safe with him."
"It isn't my brother's fault!"
"Than who is it that I have to shoot besides Ganner!"
"Dad! Please your breaking my heart! I made a mistake! It was my fault too!"
My father turned looking into my tear stained facing seeing the pain. My mom broke in.
"Jaina what happened to you? I expected this from the boys but not you! You were always the one we didn't have to worry about."
"Maybe you should have worried! Maybe you should have given a dam! You sent me away as a child! You sent us all away! Parents are supposed to be the ones to teach their kids but Winter, Chewie, Aunt Mara, and Uncle Luke taught us! If you spent even a fraction of you precious time being my mother things would be different! I loved Jag and I thought he was DEAD! I was so hurt and you didn't even understand! You never asked me if I was ok why I was upset! Ganner was there he cared and I got played! So yes I am pregnant! But this baby will never be sent away like you did to me! I am the mother and I will always be the mother!"
I started for the door and stopped turning to face my dad and all the other shocked faces at my outburst.
"Dad I love you but please don't touch Ganner. I can take care of myself. He knows I want nothing to do with him. I won't be involved with him in the least. Goodbye."
My father growled as I left and I went back to my quarters. I sat on the couch thinking about what I had just done. I smiled looking at my stomach.
"You come in handy…Now I can speak my mind and blame it on being hormonal."
Jag came home and I bit my lip looking at him.
"You know don't you?"
"Ya…Tenel Ka was holding the test when she came out…You and Vale both…huh…"
"You hate me now don't you?"
He came closer kneeling in front of me shaking his head.
"No, I don't blame you Jaina. You and Vale were both victims of a jerk. You were vulnerable and I wasn't there to protect you. I am not afraid to admit when I first found out I was pissed but that was only because I wish it was my baby…Even though it isn't mine it doesn't change the fact that I love you. Jaina I want to be with you. Will you marry me and let me be your husband, your protector, your helper, and your baby's father?"
He pulled out a box with a ring in it and I smiled.
"I will gladly be your wife!"
He slipped the engagement ring on my finger and kissed me passionately. I broke first for lack of air in my lungs.
"I could definitely get use to that."
"I would hope so."
We both laughed and I made room for him to lie on the couch and made myself comfy on top of him.
"You're really ok with this baby?"
"Hey it has half of you and it will over ride the father's half."
I laughed and he smiled.
"You know I think your family won't kill me anymore…I might actually be accepted."
"Oh ya, because they are all to busy hunting down Ganner making his life a living hell better than murder."
Out of no where I felt Vale's undeniable pain, something was wrong, she was in terrible trouble…
