New chapter! Sorry for the delay! This chapter gave me so much trouble! Finally here we go...

Chapter Six

The months had past, almost in a blink of an eye, and so here she was. Sitting in her office, hoping the days would pass a little faster, at least for the present time. Leia sighed resting her head back against her chair, she was exhausted but still had so much work to do. Her pregnancy had progressed well, and she was healthy, as were the twins. But now had come the difficult time when she was so pregnant it made life difficult. She had been forced to leave work earlier then she had expected. Han had guessed it, but she refused to listen to him. Something he teased her about daily. Not only had work insisted she take leave early, one morning when she practically rolled into her office. Her doctor had of course agreed and even insisted she take it extra easy. The term bed rest was thrown out there but Leia insisted that wasn't necessary. She was healthy! The twins were growing and doing great! She knew it was out of concern or worry, but Leia understood her body, and knew she would be alright. So here she was sitting in her home office, going through a new set of files. She wasn't over working herself, hells she was sitting in an oversized chair, barely even lifting a finger. Taking a sip of her tea, Leia smiled at her daughter. Adelyn had taken to Leia more then normal. These last few weeks of her pregnancy, her daughter had insisted on spending time with Leia and helping her in anyway she could. So here they sat, Adelyn typed and moved files on Leia's data pad, as Leia sat back and watched in amazement. It was nothing too difficult. Move file one into case B, simple things like that. But still she was fascinated by her daughters willingness to help her and understand some of Leia's work. She'd brought it up to Han a few nights ago as they lay in bed waiting for sleep.

"She'll be like me," Leia had trailed off.

"What do you mean?" Han had asked.

"I see her going into politics, taking after me. I don't know if thats a blessing or a curse," Leia had sighed.

"She'll be amazing at whatever she does," Han had assured her, as they snuggled close and fell to sleep.

Leia stared into her empty cup, her tea long gone. She listened to the typing sounds her daughter made, each soft key stroke against the pads screen. Adelyn's face was concentrated, in a frustrated little way. Leia wondered if she ever made the same face, when she was busy focusing on work.

"Do you need more tea?" Leia heard Han ask, as he looked into the office. His eyes stared over at her, with nothing but love and care. She sighed, she loved this man but he didn't need to check on her every five seconds. You just got me this one, I'm fine hot shot, her mind whispered.

"I'm fine," Leia said shaking her head, anything to get him to go back to the game he was watching. She loved him, gods did she love him. But his own anxiety on the twins arrival was driving her insane. She didn't blame him, she too was worried or held a bit of anxious thoughts over the idea of having two little ones around soon, but she knew it would all work out. Even Han knew this, he just insisted on making his brain over think things. Leia promised him over and over again that he would do fine, and that he already was an amazing father. And it wasn't as if he didn't believe her, he only feared he'd mess something up.

"What if I dress them wrong? You're gonna show me right?" Han had asked, during one of his panicked days. Leia had of course assured him all would be fine. But he hovered, hovered around her office, or around her in general. Waiting for the moment when her water would break and all their lives would change. Even Adelyn was noticing it now.

"Daddy, you don't have to keep checking on mom, I'm helping!" Adelyn insisted with a sigh to her father. Han let out a chuckle as he looked down at his daughter. Leia gave him a similar look, and he couldn't help but note how much they looked a like.

"I know that Princess, just checking in," Han said, stepping forward.

"Han, I love you, but go sit down. Watch the smash ball game and relax! We won't have much free time soon," Leia reminded him, as her fingers pointed to her stomach. Han nodded, giving her a look that proved he did remember she was pregnant, there was no need to point at the obvious.

"Exactly why you shouldn't be working," He added, taking the time to point at her stomach himself.

"I''m barely working! I'm telling Adelyn where to move files!" Leia explained with an eye roll. Han chuckled and walked further into the room, leaning over he dropped a kiss to Leia's forehead and smiled.

"I love you," He whispered to her.

"Yeah yeah I know, Adelyn knows, your twins know," Leia bit back, trying to keep a stern face, but failing and letting a smile fill her lips. They did know, they knew how much Han loved them, how much he cared for them and looked after them. Leia would never change that, but she also wanted to look after her husband. He'd assured her he would be up with the twins with her and she wouldn't have to do this on her own. That meant that he needed to relax a bit before they arrived as well.

"Good, good to know," Han said as he moved to walk from the room, leaving the girls alone once more.

"Is he always like that?" Adelyn asked her mother, and Leia laughed.

"Yes he is, but its just because he loves us."

"What next?" The young girl asked, looking towards the screen in front of her.

"We're almost done, you're a good helper," Leia said and Adelyn smirked.

"Of course I am," The young girl said with a quick shrug. So much like her father that one, Leia thought to herself.

"Move the Naboo files into that folder," Leia instructed, pointing to the screen and Adelyn nodded. Her fingers fast, moving across the screen. Leia smiled down at her, before resting back against the chair.

Looking down to her stomach, Leia watched as it moved and felt her twins kick against both her sides. Sighing, she ran circles over her children. Trying to focus and bring them some sort of calm. Their father was watching a smash ball game, perhaps they were playing inside her stomach. The little ones had been moving all morning, but only recently within the last hour had the kicks really started coming strong. Not to mention the slight contractions she had been having for days. But the doctor assured her they were too far apart to worry about yet. It was a waiting game.

Breathing in through her nose, Leia let the air fill her lungs and calm her body at the same time. Was she ready to do this again? Maybe she had blocked out her first labor? Or she was simply too stubborn to remember how painful it was. The stress was much lower this time around, that was for sure. No war worries, or wondering how Han would react, if they ever found him. This time she would have Han by her side and when it was all over, Adelyn would come in and see her siblings, and her family would be together immediately. Leia smiled at that thought. Her emotions caught her there, and she felt a few tears fill her eyes.

"Momma? You're crying?" Adelyn asked quickly, looking up to her mother.

"I'm alright sweetie."

"Do I need to get dad?"

"No," Leia assured her.

"Are you sad? Did I move the wrong file?" She asked, looking back to the screen with a panicked look, and then to her mother again.

"You're doing so well. You're the best helper Adelyn Organa Solo."

"But your crying?"

"Happy tears honey. I'm thinking about you and daddy, and the twins," Leia said running her hands over her stomach. Adelyn grinned, and reached up to touch over her mothers belly. Her thoughts had been on her siblings a lot lately. She was very excited to meet them and wanted to be the best big sister she could be. She'd been embarrassed when her teacher at school had laughingly told Han and Leia that little Adelyn was asking other kids at school how to be a good big sister. She figured some of her friends had little siblings and wanted to be fully informed. Her mother had assured her it was a sweet gesture, but also made sure she knew she would be a great big sister without even trying. Han insisted she was growing up to be exactly like Leia.

"How does asking questions make her like me?" Leia had asked him.

"A little know it all," Han had teased.

Leia could feel the force vibrating around her. She understood that she was much more versed in the ways of the force this time around, but she wasn't sure she wanted to tap into those feelings during her labor. The tingly vibration around her now was easily the presence of all three of her children in one room. Some people might think it would be overwhelming, but to Leia was comforting. Knowing and feeling how safe her children were around her, that was a type of the force that she would gladly tap into.

"They ready to meet us yet?" The girl asked.

"Soon," Leia told her, moving her daughters hand to the kicks against her stomach. Adelyn smiled at the movement, and then flinched away. Adelyn finding it fascinating and weird that the babies moved inside her mothers stomach. The first time a full kick had hit her hand, she'd let out a shriek. Which in turn made Han run back into the room, and Leia had to spend the rest of the night insisting she was alright. Feeling another hard kick to the side of her stomach, Leia clenched it for a moment, taking another deep breath.

"Mom?" Adelyn questioned.

"I'm fine baby," Leia said softly, another contraction starting. She had expected to be more used to it this time around, but the Princess was starting to wonder if her mind had blocked out the pain of it all. Leia closed her eyes and tried to focus on something, as she felt her body shift. She barely had time to open her eyes before she felt it.

"Mom? What happened?" Adelyn asked.

"Shit…" Leia muttered, as her eyes flew open and she looked down to her lap. Her water broke, it was happening. She was ready, Wasn't she? Now! It was happening now! There was no turning back now, she better get ready real fast. "Honey," Leia started, trying to keep her voice soft and easy. "I need you to go get daddy," Leia told her and Adelyn nodded. The little girl bolted out of the room, and yelled as she ran down the hallway.

"Dad! Mom's leaking!" Leia sighed, rolling her eyes. I guess her daughter wasn't wrong, perhaps a little dramatic.

"What!" Leia heard Han yell back, before hearing his heavy footsteps run into the room. Slowly moving to stand up from her chair, her grip on the desk tightened, as she tried to remember to breathe through it. Nice slow breaths, her mind told her.

"Leia?" Han said, immediately to her side.

"My water broke!" She said her voice coming off much more panicked then she had intended.

"For real! This is happening?!"

"Very real," Leia nodded, reaching for his hand and squeezing his it.

"This is why I've been checking on you! We gotta get you to the medic," Han said, starting to run out of the room, but Leia's voice stopped him.

"Han, I need you to call Chewie and have him come and stay with Adelyn," Leia explained slowly.

"Alright, Do you need anything?" He questioned.

"Not yet, I'm ok, we should be ready," She assured him. Han quickly walked back to her side, and cupped her face in his hands.

"I'm right here sweetheart. I love you," He told her with a kiss to her lips. Leia looked up into his eyes and offered him a small smile. I'm so glad he's here, Leia's mind quietly said.

"I know," She whispered out.

"I'll call Chewie."

Leia nodded as she let out another breath. Han ran out of the room, as she tried to calm down and get ready for what was happening. Her feet were a bit wobbly but she knew she could walk just fine. It wasn't as if the twins were just going to pop right out immediately. Making her way out of her office and down the hallway, she grasped the wall, helping to keep her balance. She could hear Han's voice from in the living room, he was talking to Chewie and getting him down to their apartment. Finding her way to her closet, she reached down and grabbed her already packed bag. Now to find some dry clothes for the trip to the medic.

"Leia!?" She heard Han shout, no doubt looking for her in her office.

"In here," She called back.

"What are you doing?" He asked her panicked.

"Getting my bag and changing," She said with a shrug.

"I can do that!" He insisted, moving to grab the bag himself, and then walk into her closet. "What do you want to wear?"

"Something dry," She said softly.

"Dress? Pants?"

"Whatever…" She gritted out as another contraction hit. Leaning back, she sat against the bench at the foot of their bed. Han offered her a tense look, before a small voice sounded through the room.

"Mom?" Adelyn questioned from the bedroom door.

"Thought I told you to wait for Uncle Chewie?" Han asked, moving to his daughters side.

"Is she alright?" She asked worry in her voice.

"I'm ok sweetie," Leia said. "Bring her here, Han." Han quickly lifted her up and moved her to sit beside Leia on the bench, before moving back to grab Leia some clothes.

"Mom?" Adelyn asked softly, looking up at her mother

"Yes Adelyn?"

"You don't feel good?"

"I'm going to be just fine, Its just time to meet your brother and sister. You're going to be here with Uncle Chewie. When the time is right, he'll bring you to us. Ok?"

"Ok Mom," She whispered leaning into her mothers side. Leia smiled and held her daughter close, running her hands over the top of her dark hair.

"I love you Adelyn Organa Solo," Leia whispered to her, kissing her forehead.

"I love you too Momma."

They all heard the front door slide open, and Chewie's voice echo down the hallway.

"Adelyn, you go sit with your Uncle?" Han asked and she nodded. Giving her mother one last hug, before disappearing out of the room. Han was immediately to Leia's side, helping her out of her dress and into something much more comfortable. His hands run up and down her arms and to her tense shoulders, massaging her muscles, before leaning in and kissing her forehead. Leia smiled, her hands clutching his arms.

"Anything else?" He asked.

"I'm ready," She answered.

"Alright, Let's do this Princess."

—

The lights flickered over top of Leia, as her head tilted back and looked at the room around her. The room was oddly quiet, her breathing was much calmer at the moment, and the only thing she could hear was her own heart beat beeping through the room, and the fetal monitor wrapped around her stomach playing her twins heartbeats like a steady music beat. The medic had been, several times actually. She assured them that everything was looking good and progressing as it should. Han had been holding Leia's hand tighter then she had been squeezing his. She knew he was nervous, but he didn't show it. He had been so focused on her, and making sure she was doing alright. I love that man, She thought. Moving her eyes away from the ceiling, she glanced to her side and smiled at her husband. He was staring back at her, and offered her a small smile in return.

"How you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm doing good," She assured I'm with a nod. Her free hand traced over her stomach, the twins had calmed down at bit. Perhaps they were taking a nap, or just preparing for their entrance into the world. She could feel their glowing presence, and it helped to relax her a bit.

"Twins feel good?" Han asked, noting her familiar expression to when she would reach out through the force. Leia smiled and nodded.

"They're resting," Leia mumbled out. She wondered if her connection to them would stay once they were here in the real world. She easily held that connection with her daughter, but every child was different. Being twins, she also couldn't help but wonder how they would be connected to each other, as the grew and as the years went on.

"It's a big day, maybe they know," Han nodded.

"How are you dong?" She asked him and he laughed.

"Me? Aint about me sweetheart."

"It is, you're important too," She teased.

"Leia, All I'm worrying about is you and the twins," Han told her, kissing her hand softly.

"No turning back now."

"Not thinking about turning back, I wanted this, you, Adelyn, the new ones," He smirked. "I wanted all this with you Leia,"

"Good to hear," She said softly, closing her eyes and taking another deep breath.

"You decided on the names yet?" Han asked her.

"I thought WE decided already," She said tilting her head to the side and opening her eyes back up.

"Just wanna make sure, don't want to give them a name they'll hate," Han said with a shrug.

"I think the names are beautiful. You're overthinking it," She said with a soft smile.

"Don't want them mad at me in a few decades," Han suggested and Leia laughed.

"They won't be mad at you."

"You don't want another Alderaanian name?" He questioned.

"I love Adelyn's name, and I like that she has a traditional Alderaanian name, but I want our kids to have something from your home too. I like the names Han," She insisted.

"Just making sure."

"We like the names, that's all that matters." Han nodded and kissed her hand again, he held her hand close to his face. She could feel his breath against her skin, helping to warm her in this cold medic room. She continued to stare at him, her thoughts constantly reminding her how lucky she was to have him here beside her. The missing moments they so constantly thought of, were slowly but surely being filled in with new memories.

"Do you need anything?" Han asked her.

"Have you called Luke?"

"I did, He's gonna head this way, he'll com us when he's on planet."

"Good, I want him to be around, he's important" Leia nodded.

"He was here with you last time, of course he's important," Han agreed.

"Yes he is, Adelyn thinks he has a girlfriend," Leia said softly, trying to keep their conversation light, before the real work started.

"Anyone we know?" Han asked.

"No idea, he'll let us know when he's ready. Doesn't want to overwhelm the poor girl."

"We're not overwhelming," Han smirked.

"We can be," Leia said with a shrug.

"Sneaky one your daughter."

"Takes after her father," Leia laughed, as another contraction coursed through her. Her breathing stuttered a bit, and she clenched her lower stomach. Han moved his hands up to her shoulders, softly massaging her muscles there.

"It will be time soon?" He questioned.

"Yes," Leia nodded.

"You want me to grab the medic?"

"No," She said in almost a whisper. Turning to look up at him, she offered him a tired smile. His hand cupped her cheek, before leaning in and kissing her forehead and down her nose, to her lips. "Stay here with me for a little while longer," She insisted and he nodded.

"You're doing so good." He told her.

"I love you."

"Me too sweetheart. I'm right here," He said moving to whisper in her ear. Not sure he could ever say that enough. He was right here with her, for all of it.

—

Chewie and Adelyn sat in the waiting room. Things had progressed and they knew that soon Adelyn would get to meet her brother and sister. Luke was still traveling, trying to make it there in time, but also knowing it wasn't a big deal if he was a little late. He'd still be able to see his new niece and nephew whenever he arrived. Adelyn rested her little head against Chewie's large arm, snuggling into his fur.

"Are you ready to be a big sister?" Chewie mumbled to her. Adelyn nodded her head softly, her eyes opening and then closing again.

"Will Mom be ok?" She asked her Uncle.

"You're moms a strong human. She'll be just fine," He assured her.

"I hope I'll be a good big sister," She admitted.

"Of course you will, you'll be the best,"

"Mom and Dad said I will be," She said softly.

"Of course," Chewie agreed.

Hearing movement from down the hallway, they both looked up and saw Han walking towards them. His eyes found his daughter and he smiled bright. Adelyn jumped up and rushed to his side, her arms wrapping around his legs. Han immorality swept her up and into his arms. He kissed the side of her braids and smiled at her.

"Is mom alright?" She questioned.

"She's great…you want to meet your brother and sister?" Han asked with a grin. Adelyn quickly shook her head yes and hugged her father tight. Han looked over to Chewie, but he nodded instead.

"I'll wait out here for Luke," Chewie told him.

"Alright…come on Princess."

They walked the short distance down the hallway and to Leia's room. Opening the door, they were met with a quiet room. A few medics walked around the room, finishing up their tasks before they would leave the family alone. Adelyn's big dark eyes looked around the room and squinted at the bright lights above them. Her eyes finally landed on Leia and she offered her mother a smile. Leia looked tired, but happy. She had a smile on her face and what looked like two bundles in each arm pressed against the bed. Han slowly stepped closer and moved to sit beside the bed, never letting Adelyn out of his arms. He kissed the side of her head again, against her braids, as Adelyn stared over to her mother.

"Hi mom," She whispered.

"Hi sweetheart," Leia answered, her voice was a little horse, but held so much love in her tone.

"Are the babies here?" Adelyn asked, nodding to the wrapped items in Leia's arms. Leia nodded and looked up to her husband. Han slowly took his hand and pulled the blanket back on one of the twins.

"This is your little brother," Han said introducing them. Adelyn's eyes grew big, as she stared down at the baby wrapped up in his mothers arms.

"He's so tiny," She whispered again, some how knowing she should keep her voice quiet while around these new borns.

"She's even smaller," Leia noted, looking to her other arm. Han reached over and pulled the material off the second twins head, revealing his newest daughter.

"And this is your little sister," Han added.

"They're both so small, Will they break?" She asked her parents.

"We just have to be careful with them honey," Leia told her.

"They're cute," Adelyn said with a shrug.

"They are pretty cute," Han agreed. "We make cute kids."

"Can I touch him?" She asked, pointing to the twin nearest to her. Leia nodded, before speaking again.

"Softly honey."

Ever so gently, Adelyn reached her finger out and ran her touch over the top of her brothers head. His skin was so soft and smooth. Smiling, she moved her touch down to his chubby cheek. The baby's eye twitched but stayed closed and pressed against Leia.

"What about her?" Adelyn asked, wanting to of course see her sister as well. Han stood up and moved them to the opposite side of the bed, making it much easier to see the second twin. "So pretty," Adelyn whispered. Han and Leia shared a smile with each other. They both stared at each other with love and care. Feeling nothing but bliss and happiness right now, here with their children.

"What did you name them?" Adelyn asked, looking up from her sister and back and fourth between her parents.

"Well we decided on something from Daddy's planet."

"Corellian name?" Her small voice suggested and Leia nodded.

"Your brother here is Caleb," Leia said shifting the baby boy further up her chest.

"…And your sister here, is Cora," Han added, touching the baby girls forehead.

Adelyn stared down at both twins, a smile never leaving her face. Leaning over, she let her lips gently brush against her sisters forehead and then her brothers.

"Welcome to the family Caleb and Cora," Adelyn whispered softly. Leia's heart swelled, and Han held his daughter a little tighter. The complete Solo family perfectly content and happy in this moment.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! And hopefully you enjoy the twins names as well. I wanted to do something new for them, like I did with Adelyn's name! More chapters to come!
