Anakin watched as Leia and the others turned back towards the office. The one guard who yelled at him earlier watched him with an angrier expression then before. The man looked familiar but he wasn't sure from what point did he come across this man. He walked forward as he started to remember using some members in an attempt to locate Luke two years ago. Sunber was one of Luke's childhood friends and he had disappeared after a battle but his body was never recovered. He did remember an escape pod being brought onboard the Avenger shortly after Rebel One made the jump to hyperspace. Sunber had disappeared as an advanced TIE fighter went missing ten minutes after the escape pod was brought onboard. "You look familiar..."

"Don't play games with me again," the man snapped in an angry tone. "You didn't tell me you were Luke's father and that's the reason you used me to get to him."

"Sunber," Anakin muttered under his breath. Now he knew why the man was angry with him. "Did you and Luke patch things up?"

"It's none of your business," Sunber growled as he took two steps back away from Anakin causing him to pause in mid-stride. "Leia's your daughter too? What kind of a man chases his children around with a lightsaber in hand calling them enemies?"

"I didn't know Leia was my daughter until recently," Anakin admitted with a frown. He knew Sunber was angry with him. In all honesty he would be just as angry. "You have every right to be angry with me. I was wrong in all of this. Palpatine manipulated me just as much as the next person."

"You can't use that as an excuse," Sunber pointed out with an angry glare. "You should be executed. I do leave with you this one warning. Luke always wanted to get know who his father was. Owen and Beru never told him the truth and told him a lie. Don't break the kid's heart."

"I know I can't use it as an excuse for my crimes," Anakin wasn't surprised they lied to Luke about what happened to him. It was most likely for Luke's protection. "I don't plan to break Luke's heart. I want my children back in my life and I know I was wrong. I'm sorry for how I used you."

Sunber was suddenly quiet and seemed less angry. Maybe there was some hope he could patch things up with the man. He wasn't sure at this point. "It's a start. I will be watching you."

"As will the others I suspect," Anakin pointed out with a frown as Sunber turned around and headed back to where Leia and the others were stationed. He noticed Piett walking up to him with a note in his hand. "What is it, Admiral?"

"Fett has made the drop and Jabba is demanding the spice you promised him," Piett explained causing Anakin to frown as he sensed something else coming from Piett. Normally Piett wasn't known for holding back information. He waited patiently to see if Piett was willing to tell him the rest. "He's demanding another half a million due to what Palpatine offered for your capture or he tells the Empire where you are."

"That's not going to happen," Anakin muttered under his breath. Perhaps he can use this as an excuse to kill the Hutt after all. One way to find out was to go to Jabba's palace and take Han by Force if he couldn't talk Jabba out of the other half a million. Especially on short notice. He turned his attention to Piett. "Piett, ready a concussion missal. I'm going to get Jabba out in the middle of nowhere and I'm dropping that bomb on him."

"You don't like Hutts, do you?" Piett questioned with a raised brow. "Are you sure that's a wise decision to make?"

Anakin only smiled as Piett suddenly looked unsure about this plan. "I know exactly how to draw him out. I've been waiting over twenty years to kill him."

"I suddenly have a really bad feeling about this," Piett muttered under his breath as Anakin grinned. He planned to record it so he could show it to Han afterwards. He headed towards where Leia was already making plans on how to deal with Jabba in his mind. It was going to be a good day.

"We're not going to blow Jabba up," Leia spoke up after Anakin finished explaining his plan. "I don't care how much you hate him, it's a no go."

Anakin gave a frustrated sigh as he looked around the room as Chewie chuckled and nodded agreeing with Leia. "At least Chewie agrees with me."

"He was agreeing with Leia, quit putting words in his mouth just because Leia doesn't understand him and you do," Fress pointed out in a serious tone. "I get the fact you were a slave to one once. Shouldn't it be Gardulla the Hutt you should be aiming for not Jabba?"

"Least we forget, Fress, that Jabba believed Dooku and Ventress and was ready to kill Ahsoka and I?" Anakin pointed out with a frown as Leia raised an eyebrow looking shocked. "They convinced him we were behind his son's kidnapping."

"Jabba had a son?" Luke questioned sounding a little surprised.

"Jabba had a son shortly before Ahsoka became my padawan learner," Anakin explained with a frown. "Someone managed to kill Jabba's huttling. He's been in a bad mood since."

"Han helped kill one hutt and that's how he got into Jabba's good graces in the first place," Lando explained causing Anakin to raise an eyebrow. "I believe he helped dropped the ceiling on him, if I remember correctly."

"Really? Sounds like Han and I will get along just fine," Anakin smirked causing Leia to roll her eyes. "Leia, I thought you wanted us to get along?" He pointed out with a smug grin.

"You two are not going to bond over who killed which hutt," Leia answered with a serious tone as she watched him with a disapproval expression. "I already talked to Mon Mothma and she's agreed to keep you on a leash."

Anakin shook his head sadly as he looked at Luke and Lando who seemed quite interested in the leash comment. "It was a figure of speech she used on the first Death Star," he paused for a second as he looked at Leia with a frown. "Do you have a plan?"

"I do, it requires us sneaking in one at a time and finding a less obvious way to kill the hutt," Leia answered with a smug grin.

"She really is your daughter, isn't she?" Lando questioned as Luke bit on his lower lip. Fress and Ahsoka shared a here we go again expression. "I suppose I could get in as a guard."

"I couldn't be prouder," Anakin said with a grin. That just made his day. "I say we send in Threepio to offer a new proposal, don't tell him. We need to make it believable."

"Sounds like you have a plan," Lando said as he watched Anakin with a serious expression. "Lets hear it."

"We need to get Han out into a less crowded area. Jabba loves feeding his Ranchor. We kill the Ranchor, he'll want to feed us to the sarlacc pit. Which means he'll take us out on his sail barge," Anakin outlined as Lando nodded in agreement. "Do you still have that bounty hunter suit, Lando?"

"I do and it should fit Leia, no problem," Lando answered with a small smile. "I can see where you're going with this. She can sneak in with Chewie to pick up the bounty on him."

"You got it," Anakin glanced at Fress and Ahsoka with a grin. "I need you to follow in a couple of speeders and help out with the fighting once it starts and be ready to leave in a hurry. Before anyone comes out to investigate."

"Jess and I can handle the speeder pick up," Rex spoke up as Jess nodded in agreement. "It's beginning to sound like old times."

"It sure is," Ahsoka agreed as she sat down beside Anakin as Fress sat down to his other side. "It's good to have you back, Anakin."

"It's good to be back," Anakin agreed as Brice walked in with a frown. "How long have you been standing there for, Brice?"

"Long enough," Brice answered with a small smile. "Is this what you call reckless behavior?"

Fress sighed as she glanced at the others. "Nice example we're setting for him."

"Fress, he was bound to find out sooner or later how you accomplish missions," Anakin pointed out with a small grin. "I was about his age when I went on missions with Obi-Wan."

"You're not helping, Anakin," Fress pointed out with a frustrated sigh. "Yes Brice, this is what the Jedi Masters of the past would consider reckless behavior."

"May I go?" Brice questioned with a grin.

"No," Fress and Jess answered in unison. "It'll be too dangerous."

Anakin studied Fress with a frown as he glanced down noticing she looked even larger in the last few days. "You shouldn't be going either," he pointed out as realization hit him as Fress raised an eyebrow.

"I may have put on a little weight, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't go," Fress raised a challenging eyebrow.

"I think you missed the bigger holo," Anakin explained as he placed his hand onto her stomach. "I'm surprised you haven't noticed yet. You and Jess and which base?"

Fress paused as Jess walked to the couch and knelt down in front of her as Anakin removed his hand. It was apparent they both realized what he was getting at. "I can't be, there's too much to do and an Empire to stop."

Jess closed his eyes and Anakin sensed Jess searching Fress as Anakin felt a second presence react to Jess's Force touch. A smile slowly spread across Jess's face as they turned their attention to Brice. "Brice, how do you feel about having a baby brother or sister to look after?"

"Really?" Brice questioned in an excited tone as Jess nodded. "I always wanted a sibling."

"Your wish is about to come true," Fress responded with a soft smile as Jess nodded in agreement. "We should go to Home One and schedule an ultra sound to be done."

"Congratulations to the both of you," Rex said with a smile. "Just remember, you have to makeup time with Brice and not to forget about him."

"I plan to train him," Jess spoke with a smile. "We figure if Fress trains him, Brice will end up being as crazy as she is," he smirked as Fress hit Jess teasingly on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, we love you just as much," Fress whispered as Brice placed his hand onto her tummy and smiled.

Anakin glanced at Luke who nodded as he turned his attention to Brice. They decided to ask Brice on how he felt about evicting the Aunt and Uncle from the dwelling first. "Brice, I need to ask you something," Brice turned his attention to Anakin with a frown. "Luke had allowed you, Shala and Carl to move into the Lars homestead and after how they treated you. We feel they don't deserve to live there. The Lars is my step family who had no interest in slaves save one, my mother. Cliegg bought and freed my mother and married her. They were a kind and generous family. We feel that Carl and Shala don't deserve to live there. We're going to evict them from the dwelling and we wondered how you felt about that."

Brice fell silent for a few minutes, as Anakin feared this wasn't such a great idea after all. Brice knew them better then they did. He looked at Luke. "Give them two months, they have no where else to go."

"We're giving them two months," Luke explained as Brice chewed on his lower lip.

"Can I deliver it?" Brice questioned as Anakin raised an eyebrow. It appeared the kid was all for it.

"Father and I planned to deliver it together, and he wanted to do it as Vader," Luke explained as Brice smirked.

"Can I go with them, Fress? Please?" Brice turned his attention to Fress with a pleading expression. "I want to see their reactions."

"You can hand the letter over if you want, but I still get to say it," Anakin spoke with a smile. "I promise Fress, we'll keep him safe."

"I know you will, it's not like it's an actual mission," Fress answered as Jess nodded in agreement. "You may go, but you will allow Luke to handle the details. He's the one who made the deal with them in the first place."

"I promise, mom," Brice agreed as he ran out of the room to go get his robe.

Fress sat back with a shocked expression on her face as Anakin patted her on the shoulder. "He called me mom?"

"I felt the same way when Leia called me father," Anakin pointed out with a small smile.

Fress raised an eyebrow as she glanced at Leia who gave a weary smile. "I guess it just comes out."

Anakin nodded in agreement as Fress turned her attention to Jess as he gave a smile. "Lets get this over with. When we get back, we'll finalize the plans for getting Han back."

Luke stood up along with Anakin as Brice ran back into the living area dressed in his own Jedi looking robe-causing Anakin to smile as they walked out of the dwelling and into the dry unforgiving heat. It was time to take care of business. They still had Grentan to deal with, but when he checked last, the man still hadn't calmed down yet.
