Ha-ha yeah, this story will definitely have some Full House references, especially with Kimmy lol. She is one of my all-time favorite sitcom characters. Even though most of the people in the show found her rather annoying, I always found her quite funny. Thank you so much to all that have checked out this story, I really appreciate it, feel free to PM me or leave a review if you have any comments or suggestions for the story. =) Enjoy.
Leia found the first chair she could locate that was closest to the entrance way to the examining rooms. She sat down slowly then picked up a magazine and held it up close to her face and began to parous the crowd of people for her brother who had stepped away moments prior. She continually searched, then found him standing behind a potted plant that was placed next to the two swinging doors entrance.
She then tilted her head and motioned in Luke's direction. He then caught sight of this and began to move closer to the door. He then patiently waited for one of the medical staff to come out and call someones name.
He then looked in Leia's direction to let her know that it was now time to spring into action. She slightly nodded then turned back to flipping pages in the magazine.
At that moment, a nurse came out slowly and approached the waiting area, "Wiley?" she stated plainly.
As the door was about to come to a close Luke quickly slipped an arm out to catch the sliding door, Leia then quickly jumped up from her seat and got behind her brother. Then Luke charged through the doorway followed by an equally anxious Leia.
The twins navigated their way through the long hallway trying to find an examining room that was currently not in use.
Luke then came to an abrupt stop which caused Leia to plunge right into the back of him.
"Hey watch it, and look there." Luke cautioned as he noticed an exam room towards the end of the hall with the door wide open.
Leia, about to reprimand her brother for the unexpected stop opened her mouth for a reply only to be repelled by the sight that her brother was pointing towards.
"Luke that's perfect, we have to get in there." She stated, and with that they began to walk fast but causally towards the room.
When they made their way up to the doorway they peered inside to find a small cot, two chairs and a counter with a sink and some basic medical supplies with different elastic glove sizes and a red sharps container. On the wall however, they noticed different nature paintings one of which looked like their mother's home planet of Naboo.
They had never been to Naboo, they had always asked their father to go, and heck even bring Kimmy along, but he would always return the same answer of no. The strange thing was he would never tell them why. They didn't even know of any Aunts, Uncles, Cousins or even Grandparents. All they had known for their short eight years of life was Coruscant and the tight leash their father had kept them on. Their life only consisted of eating, sleeping, drinking, and going to and from school, and attempting to avoid any of what their father referred to as quality time and occasionally go to the Jedi temple with their father when he needed to meet with Obi Wan Kenobi or the legendary Jedi Master Yoda.
Luke and Leia had always wanted to become Jedi themselves, but no matter how many times they would ask and no matter how many times Master Kenobi and Master Yoda would approach Anakin with the idea, the more and more he would turn down the idea.
Luke and Leia often thought about running off to the temple alone so that they could hold a private conversation with one of the Jedi Masters to show them that they truly where force sensitives and they contained the ability to use the force. Leia honestly thought that was the only trait that they had inherited from their father that was perhaps useful. One day though, one day, she and Luke would be old enough to stand up to their father and do as they wished.
Both the twins knew that they wanted to serve in the war efforts to help stop the ruthless leader of the Empire, which they knew of as Chancellor Palpatine, newly turned Emperor of the Republic. The only thing they had truly admired their father for was the fact that he had nearly killed Palpatine before they were born. But of course, their father would never tell them this, they usually would gain most of this information from Master Obi Wan on the rare occurrences that they actually got to see him.
The only personal details the twins knew of their father was the fact that he once was an active Jedi and that he nearly turned to the Darkside before they were born because he had become manipulated by Palpatine after he had been told by the twin's mother that she was pregnant.
He then began to have nightmares that she was to die in childbirth, then became obsessed with finding a way to save her, his wife and only child. He had apparently also had similar dreams of his own mother just before she had passed away. But for the twins it was next to impossible to get any of this information from their father. Only Obi Wan, on the rare occasions they had been left alone with him would be willing to answer their burning questions.
In fact, it wasn't until recent that both children had found out that Obi Wan and their now hermit of a father actually fought against one another when he was still on the Darkside. They had a long dual on the planet of Mustafar were Anakin practically chased after Obi Wan because he was under the believe that the Jedi were plotting to take over and that Obi Wan had turned his wife against him.
Obi Wan had always told the twins to be cautious with their father because of the fact that he had such a problem with attachments. Considering their current lifestyle, that statement was a no brainer. Obi Wan had also informed them that originally after they had been born they were going to be put up for adoption and later trained as Jedi, because at the time their father was seen as an unfit parent.
However, after Anakin had learned of the death of his wife he was demanded to know what had happened to the child. After the Jedi Council refused to tell him, he began to take legal actions and then eventually found out that there was not in fact just one child but two. A boy and a girl, twins, that his wife had been carrying and had named nearly minutes before her death.
When Anakin learned of this, he became enraged and attempted to assassinate Palpatine for lying to him and causing the very thing he feared, the death of his wife and him all alone and afraid once again.
He became seriously injured and was then taken in by the alliance after being hospitalized for close to a year. After he recovered, he had requested to live under supervision by what was left of the Jedi order on Coruscant so that he could raise his children. At the time, Anakin had fallen into a deep depression and believed that raising his children alone was the only reason that he still was living.
Finally after two years, a reluctant Jedi Council accepted his request and let the two children live in his custody. Ever since then, he had been living a very secluded life with the twins not often leaving Coruscant. He had kept them shield off from the Emperor himself by continually staying near the twins at all time to provide some kind of a force field and had absolutely refused the Jedi Council's request to take the children in and train them as Jedi.
At one point, Obi Wan had even offered to let Anakin be an active participant in the teachings of his children but he would still refuse.
Luke and Leia where quickly pulled from their train of thought when a tall female Physician with black hair and brown eye entered the room behind them.
"Why hello their young ones my name is Eliza, can I help you with something?" She offered with a friendly smile.
Luke and Leia quickly spun around at hearing the word young ones, automatically thinking of their father once more. But were relieved to see a friendly looking middle aged woman in a lab coat.
"Hi I'm Max and this is my sister Monica, and you see Monica here has infected ears we were uh, at school and she and some of the other girls thought it would be so cool to pierce their own ears, so the principal found out and sent us here before school finished and don't worry, our parents know and are out of town at the moment but we are staying with our Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Han.
Leia then shot her brother a wary glare then he nudged her in the backside, "Yeah, I'm Monica and my ears are really stinging and I don't know what I was thinking. I need to stop giving into peer pressure. Could you take a quick look at my ears Mrs. Eliza? We just got called back and my Aunt and Uncle had to go take a business call but they told us to come find them when we finish." She added, crossing her fingers behind her back.
Eliza then smiled, "Well of coarse Ms. Monica I can take a look at your ears." She said as she picked up the small girl and placed her on the edge of the cot.
Eliza then took out her stethoscope and placed it on Leia's chest and asked her to breathe in and out.
After she took Leia's respirations, pulse, and temperature, she began to check Leia's ears.
"Ah yes, these are definitely swollen but not yet infected. I'm going to remove these studs and then I'll get you cleaned up Ms. Monica." Eliza said as she began to gather her supplies.
Eliza then peeled off her existing gloves and then used antimicrobial soap to wash her hands to avoid introducing new bacteria to the infected area of Leia's ear. She then scrubbed her hands for 20 seconds.
Next Eliza dissolved 1 tbsp. of non-iodized sea salt in 8 ounces of warm distilled water and soaked the infected piercings in the sea salt solution for five minutes. Then she filled a small cup with the solution and submerged the infected lobe. She then soaked sterile gauze in the solution and applied generous amounts of the solution to the infected area.
She then rinsed the areas with clean, warm water and dried them with a clean paper towel.
"There you are Ms. Monica, now I'm going to give you some of this solution to take home with you in a bottle, here is also some paper work with specific instructions on how to properly treat your ears. Make sure to give this information to your Aunt and Uncle and don't be afraid to help participate in the procedure." Eliza said as she smiled and offered Leia a pharmacy bag with the solution and the proper instructions.
Eliza then lifted Leia off of the cot and walked both her and Luke up towards the front once more, "Would you two be interested in some ice cream, for behaving so well during the procedure? We have some in our staff lounge, what flavors would you like?" She said with a smile.
Both Luke and Leia's eyes lit up at the mention of ice cream, "Oh yes that would be wonderful!" they said in unison.
"I'll have strawberry." Luke said with a smile.
"And I'll have chocolate, and by the way, thank you so much for fixing my ears Mrs. Eliza." Leia added with a sweet smile.
Eliza then smiled and led them into a medium sized lounge with a table that was all decked out in what looked like a catered feast. She then headed over to the refrigerator and pulled out two large popsicles and offered them to the twins, who were still eying the buffet in front of them.
Eliza taking note of this smiled, "Would you guys like some? This is just some leftovers from our employee banquet."
The twins smiled, "Oh thank you so much Mrs. Eliza." They said as she handed them two plates.
The twins began to fill their plates with an assortment of snack foods when Luke felt the microchip Han had given him buzz from his pant pocket.
Eliza then looked to the two children, "You guys are more than welcome to hang out in here until your Aunt and Uncle are ready to go." she said with a smile as she headed for the door.
"Wait Mrs. Eliza, when my Aunt and Uncle get done we will definitely come find you to let you know we are about to have a safe departure from the hospital, and again I just wanted to thank you for all your help, Luke and I really appreciate it."
Luke then pulled out his microchip and smiled at the doctor, "Yeah I think they are calling us now actually." He said as he placed the microchip in his ear.
Eliza smiled in turn, "Alight then I'm about to go on my break but when they are ready to go, feel free to give me a buzz, here is my number." She said as she pulled out a sticky note and sharpie marker from her side pocket.
Eliza wrote down a number on the sticky note then handed it to Leia, then departed with a smiling once more at the feasting children.
Once the doctor was gone, Luke answered the buzzing from the chip, "Hey Han what's going on? We were able to get Leia's ear treated and we met a really nice doctor, she gave us her phone number and some snacks. We are currently hanging out in the employee lounge. As of right now, the doctor thinks that you and Kimmy are a married couple and me and Leia's rightful guardians, long story, don't ask. But anyway, we are ready to go when you are." Luke muttered out quickly.
"Whoa, whoa, kid slow down everything is just fine, I called my buddies Chewie and Lando and they are on the way to pick us up right now. They should be here in about 15 minutes and don't worry about your pops he is pretty easy to get side tract. We followed him to the cafeteria and we started knocking over all the beverage containers from behind when he was getting the water. Then one of the security guards came in and noticed his lightsaber and recognized who he was, small world right? and they I guess thought he was in cahoots with the Emperor so they arrested him. But your sister's little pal Kimmy managed to use that weird force thing the Jedi use and float over his speeder keys as he was being escorted out. I have to hand it to bird legs, she is quite cleaver when it comes to escape plans." Han chuckled.
"Wow Han, that's awesome, but wait. Our dad wouldn't just give up that easy he must have put up a pretty nasty fight." Luke cautioned.
"Well yeah, he kept throwing things around and was yelling at the security guards. He without a doubt mentioned you guys and me and Kimmy on more than one occasion, I think I lost count to be honest and he even almost made a clean escape when he got ahold of his lightsaber and stabbed the two security guards. He began to dart for the door but was repelled by two doctors and at least 10 security guards, he began to force chock some of them when a brave muscular guard tackled him down to the floor while one of the doctors injected him with something in his neck and that knocked him right out." Han stated.
"But wait, then where are you and Kimmy now? And please tell me our dad was locked down in the ward or something. You guys didn't get noticed did you?" Luke asked slightly concerned.
"Na kid, we are just fine, we are on our way back to you now actually, so get ready to meet us back in the waiting area. Are you guys in a place where you can leave unnoticed?" Han questioned.
"Yeah we can, the medical staff back here is pretty cool. We are on our way right now. Like I said the doctor we met was really nice, she let everyone know that we are waiting for our Aunt and Uncle, that being you guys. We will see you in a few." Luke said.
"Sounds good kid, we are up front now." And with that both Luke and Han ended their transmission.
…..
Luke and Leia made their way out of the staff lounge and headed for the exiting doors. They then approached one of the nurses, "Hello I'm Max this is my sister Monica, and we were treated by Mrs. Eliza, but our Aunt and Uncle are here to pick us up and we just wanted to say thank you and let someone know we are now leaving." They said in unison.
The nurse smiled, "Very well younglings, I've already spoken with Eliza and she informed us of this, hope you have a good rest of your day. I would like to say come back and visit us soon, but the last thing I want to see is two precious children like yourselves back in the ER." She said as she led them to the exit doors.
"Thank you so much, we will be safe we promise." The twins said in unison once more as they made their way out to the waiting room, while waving back to the nurse.
She then smiled and closed the exit doors.
The twins then turned and scanned the crowd once more in search for Kimmy and Han.
They then located the two teenager on the far left hand side near the back hallway that lead out to the parking lot.
The twins quickly approached, "Hey you guys are you about ready to go?" Leia asked as they were now side by side with the teenagers.
"Yeah Kidde's, let's get out of here before your father wakes up and goes ballistic on the security guards." Kimmy added while her eyes never left Han.
"Yeah my buddies are out in the parking lot waiting for us, we can swing by your guy's house and Kimmy's to pick up your stuff and then we are out of here." Han added with a smile.
Luke and Leia's eyes bulged with utter excitement at hearing this, "Really you mean it? We can go with you and be gone for good!" the twins said in unison with utter excitement.
"Well hell yeah I mean it, I'm sick of being told what to do. I'm ready to get off this planet and explore what's out there waiting for us. We are all young and why not? I mean the sky's the limit right?" Han said with equal excitement.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." The twins said as they charged forward to hug Han and Kimmy.
Then Leia stopped in her tracks abruptly as a thought occurred to her, "Wait a minute, this is awesome it really is, but we can't break into our apartment." She pointed out.
"Chill Leia, I got your dad's keys, we can use them to get inside quickly, get your guy's stuff, then head to my place and get my stuff. I don't mind breaking a window or two there…. Believe me I've done it before. And then finally, we can get of Coruscant so we don't have any run in's with your dad. Then we can all decide on a planet we want to visit first." Kimmy stated now looking her friend in the eyes.
Leia nodded, "Why Kimmy, you are really smart. I don't think I would even be able to come up with that. And yes, that is a really good plan, and seriously let's get going before something happens with my dad." Leia added, as she past the group and made her way for the door, still in utter shock that her and Luke had made this much progress.
Han, Kimmy, and Luke all nodded in agreement and followed after Leia. Han then jumped in front of the child, "Ok guys my speeder is over there." He said as he led them towards a slightly old and a bit battered speeder.
The group then began to file into the back doors of the speeder with Han in the lead. He then jumped in the front where two other occupant where already seated.
Han gripped the controls and began to lift the speeder from the ground while he took up the driver's seat, then turned around to face the three occupants in the back of his vehicle.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet my best mates, Chewbacca the Wookiee and Lando Calrissian.
