Epilogue (Part 2)

"Momma! Momma! Look at my castle!" five-year-old Lila Skywalker shouted, flinging sand into the air. Anakin Skywalker flinched away as the sand landed on him.

"Don't throw sand," he scolded, tousling his hair with his fingers to rid his scalp of the sand.

"It's very nice," Padme Skywalker replied, glancing at the misshapen pile of sand on the beach, which could possibly be a castle if one squinted at it hard and kept an open mind. Lila smiled at the praise. The family had come to Naboo, to visit Luke and his family, though they hadn't arrived at the lake retreat beach yet. Leia and her family were also coming, and the Skywalkers were very excited.

"Mom!" a voice called. Padme whirled. There was Luke and his family, coming towards them waving. Three-year-old Ben came running and hugged Padme's knees.

"Gamma!" he shouted, using the nickname instead of saying 'grandma' because he had trouble pronouncing his 'R's.

"Hey, buddy. How are you?" Padme asked, lifting the child onto her hip and kissing his hair.

"I'm good. Where's Gampa?"

"He's over there by Lila. Do you want to see them?"

"Yah, yah!"

Padme placed Ben on the ground and he went running to see Anakin and Lila.

"Luke!" Padme ran to meet her son and enveloped him in a hug.

"Hi, Mom," he said, kissing her forehead and pulling out of the embrace.

"Hello, Mara," hugging her daughter-in-law as well.

"Hello, Padme," she replied, returning the embrace. A ship landed on the pad near the house, beside the now old Arrow Flight.

"And that should be the Solo clan," Padme announced, placing her hands on her hips. She turned to Anakin and Lila and Ben, who were already approaching them. "Leia's here, honey. And come see Luke!"

"I'm trying! It's rather hard when you have a youngling hanging off your leg!" Anakin called back, struggling to walk because Ben had wrapped himself around Anakin's leg.

Leia and Han approached, Leia holding a two-month-old baby and Han clutching the hands of too-hyper twins. He looked tired. They joined the small group gathered there.

"Hi Mom. Hi Dad." Leia said, giving each a one-armed hug.

"Hi," Anakin and Padme said in unison.

"Is this my new grandson I've heard so much about?" Padme asked, holding out her arms in a silent question. Leia passed her the baby.

"Yep, this is Anakin, named after his grandfather," she said proudly.

"You named him after the best," Anakin said jauntily.

"Don't get cocky," Padme scolded.

"I wasn't!"

Han let go of the twins' hands and all five kids went running back to the water.

"I'd better go after them. Make sure none of them drown," Han said tiredly, ever the sarcastic one. He jogged down the path after the group of kids. Leia shook her head.

"He's been so exhausted, chasing after the twins all the time. I had hoped this vacation would be relaxing for him," Leia said, watching him go.

"Well, let's go give him a bit of relief," Mara said, kicking off her boots and starting down the sandy trail. The group of adults and one baby followed after Luke's fiery-haired wife, talking amongst themselves. The kids played in the water and sand for several hours before it was naptime for all six kids, baby included. Everyone tramped inside, tracking sand into the large house.

Soon after, all the kids plus Han were asleep. The remaining adults sat around the dining room table, hands cupping glasses of lemonade. They talked amongst themselves, sharing parenting stories and funny scenarios, Leia blushing extremely hard when Padme told the story about the time Leia nearly broke her brother's nose over a puzzle piece.

A noise over the baby monitor indicated that little Anakin was awake, so Leia got up to get him. One by one, the kids emerged from their designated rooms, Han being the last "kid".

"How did you sleep, sweetheart?" Leia asked, coming over to him and kissing his cheek.

"Best I have in years," Han replied, running his fingers through Leia's hair.

Lila tugged on Padme's skirt.

"Can we go back down to the water?" she asked, hope in her eyes. Padme nodded.

"Sure, little one," she replied. Everyone got up and headed back outside after the kids had been wrestled into swimsuits. The kids ran ahead and began digging a giant hole. Almost an hour later, small hands finished with it.

"Okay, Daddy. You go in," Lila ordered, pointing to the hole, "We gonna bury you." Anakin held up his hands defensively.

"Uh-uh. Not a chance. I hate sand."

"Honey, just go. It'll make their day," Padme whispered, nudging Anakin forward. Anakin sighed heavily but lowered himself into the hole. Instantly, the four three-year-olds and a five-year-old pushed piles of sand back on him. Anakin groaned. Leia spoke up.

"This is my favorite part of family vacations," she said.

"What, watching your dad get buried by a bunch of munchkins?" Han asked. Everyone laughed.

"No!" Leia said indignantly, punching his shoulder.

"Then what is it?" Luke inquired.

"Spending time together," Leia replied.
