A shriek emanated down the hallway and was quickly followed by a series loud thumps.

Jaina's voice, rising in anger, crackled through the apartment, assaulting her parents who were lounging together on the couch.

Han groaned and glanced down at his wife. She didn't flinch. He sighed and looked back towards the hallway where the commotion was picking up strength.

"I gave birth to them; you have to deal with that." Leia said quietly, tilting her head in the direction of the noise while flipping over a page in her magazine. He was about to protest when Jacen's inaudible voice joined in the shouting.

More thudding followed.

With one last look at the smashball broadcast, he stood and starting down the hallway, finding Jaina in front of the fresher door, pounding her fists against it rapidly.

"Jacen Solo! Come out right now." She yelled.

"Not a chance!" Jacen's reply came, slightly muffled by the closed door.

"Come out! Come out and fight me like a man."

Before Jacen could answer, Jaina started her ferocious hammering on the door again.

"Alright, that's enough." Han took hold of both her fists and pulled her back, turning her.

The angry, determined face of his daughter came around to him, cheeks red and blotchy, eyes brimming with the tears she wouldn't allow to fall. Hands, still clenched into fists, shook uncontrollably. Her small forearms were now bruising slightly from the abuse levelled at the fresher door.

The sight of her melted away his annoyance and he knelt down to face her. They stared at each other for a long moment, before Jaina broke his gaze and glared back at the door which secured her twin.

"What's going on?" He asked gently, snapping her focus away from the door.

His little girl regarded him for a moment. "Nothing."

"No, it's not nothing. Come on, tell me. What's going on?"

The muffled, innocent voice from behind the closed door answered for his sister. "She's trying to kill me, Dad!"

Jaina rolled her eyes and stayed silent.

"Jacen come out of there."

"But she's-"

"Now." The door slide open revealing Han's eldest son. Jacen didn't make a move to join his sister, but at least now Han didn't have to talk at him through a door.

"Okay, now, one at a time," he directed, giving each of his children a pointed look, "tell me what's happened. Jacen, you go first."

Jacen looked triumphantly at his sister before starting. "Jaina killed my Gunyr Beetle, and when I got mad at her, she tried to kill me too!" Jaina stood quietly staring at her father.

"Jaina, honey, is that what happened?"

"No.

"Liar."

"I'm not a liar!"

"Are too!"

"Enough." Han pointed at his son, "there is no name-calling in this house, you understand?"

"Yes, Sir." Jacen started playing with his fingernails uncomfortably.

"Jaina, tell me what happened."

"Well, I did kill his beetle thing, but I didn't mean to. It was loose in the room and I stepped on it," Jaina shrugged helplessly, "I didn't see it! I promise."

"And the killing Jacen part? What was that about?"

"I said I was sorry and that it was an accident. And he didn't believe me. And he broke the sensor Wedge gave me." She glared at her brother before shrugging slightly, eyes moving back, riveted. "So, yeah. I guess I did try to kill him. A little bit..."
