Bail was being to regret telling Breha that Leia was pregnant. Breha had ranted for what felt like hours about how this wouldn't have happened if he had told someone that Leia and Winter were sneaking out of the Palace.
Bail purposely leaned back in his seat and relaxed.
"Bail Preston Organa, you are not to ignore me!" She snapped.
Bail found himself wondering for the umpteenth time during this 'discussion' why he had let his parents convince him to marry her. Oh, that's right: it would bring prestige to his House, a member of the House of Antilles had married the Queen.
"Breha, we both know that Leia can never inherit the Throne so why should it matter that she was sneakin gout of the Palace with the daughter of one of my trusted aides?" He pointed out.
He regretted letting those words leaving his mouth about half a minute later. Breha started yelling that no one of the Royal Household should be taking part in such rebellious matters. And that she could have appointed some noble as an heir and then had Leia and him marry so that she would remain a member of the Royal Household.
She went on and on about how this reflected badly on both of them. How their name was now tainted because of all of this.
Bail finally had enough.
"Silence!" he yelled. "I will not have you verbally abuse Leia in my presence. She has been through enough without you making her life harder. You used to love her Breha, what happened?"
Breha's eyes hardened.
"Ever since the accusation that Leia is the result of an illicit affair that you had with only the Force knows who. I then discovered something interesting Bail; Leia's DNA is not on file anywhere. For now I do not wish to learn the little harlot's name but mark my words Bail; unless you either confess to an affair or you say where she came from I will make your life miserable." Breha spat.
Bail winched. There was very little that he could do to ease Breha's mind. Even if he said that Leia wasn't his she would either calm down pr she would demand to know then where she had come from.
Bail opened his mouth, he had to say something but what?
"If she's some Force Sensitive child that you 'saved' from death I will have you banished from all of the holdings Organa has. As for Leia she will be turned over to the Empire so that they can deal with her." Breha gritted out.
Bail stood, ready to defend Leia but he didn't dare say anything out of fear that he would let something slip.
Instead he opted to stalk out of the room; ignoring her voice demanding that he come back.
He wandered the Palace aimlessly until he found himself outside of Leia's Suite. He hesitated briefly before pressing the chime.
He rocked slightly back on the balls of his feet as he waited for some sort of response. The door opened to reveal Leia standing there with a datapad in one hand. A smile came to her face quickly, brighter than any known star.
He wasn't sure what he had expected from her. He had known that the medical droids had released her from the Medical Wing but he had to talk to his Representative on Coruscant about what was on the different tables for discussion and when he thought he might get back to the Capital.
Leia quickly stood aside and let him in.
It was then that he saw an emotion in her smile and eyes: hope.
"Leia, are you alright?" he asked gently. She nodded emphatically. "I checked the dates and the baby isn't one of more rapists' child. The woman that visited me last night was telling me the truth."
Bail nodded because he was unsure what to say to her declaration. He was happy that the child wasn't one her attackers' offspring. However he couldn't understand where the baby had come from; babies just didn't create themselves.
"May I ask what the woman looked like?" He asked her. Leia was silent for a moment, obviously searching her memory. "She had unmistakably blond hair that was so curly that I doubt that a brush could get through it. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue and they were warm. That's all I know for sure because it was dark."
Leia became silent again.
"She felt familiar in a way and she and a man that somehow joined her spoke a language that I have never heard before but somehow I knew it" She said softly. "As if we knew each other better than best friends."
Bail hugged her warmly. It was good that Leia was feeling better.
He promised himself then and there

Din Riain was angry. His ship was being attacked by an Imperial Star Destroyer and there was little chance that he would escape. He would never be able to train the youngest or the unborn clones; and they needed to be trained especially Anakin Skywalker.
He did thank the Force that the cloning project was done and that the clones were thriving in their surrogates.
He heard the sound of docking clamps and he knew that he would go down fighting. He would be the one to train the reborn Chosen One. He would succeed where Kenobi failed.
Din could here the hatch being blown off and the sound of blaster fire.
He raced towards the sound, drawing his lightsaber as he went. He sliced through the nearest Stormtrooper and stabbed another.
All too soon the sound of artifical breathing reached the ears of him and the others on the transport.
He knew who it was and charged at the Sith Lord. He would make that thing pay for destroying the Jedi Order.
He fought with everything he had, wanting nothing more than to make sure that he would live and train the Jedi clones.
They fought for sometime and Din could feel himself beginning to tire.
"Your destruction is upon you Darth!" He spat. "You will fall by the hands of the Chosen One!" Vader made strange noise. "The Chosen One was left for dead on the banks of a lava river on Mustafar. And soon you will join your fellow Jedi in death." The Sith Lord pronounced.
Din swung only to feel a burning in his side. Vader had cut part way into him.
Din could feel his vision go dark when he heard Vader deactivate his lightsaber. "You will now died Jedi a slow and painful death. I would have finished the job but I rather see you suffer." Vader told hime nonchalantly.

Vader waited until the Jedi stopped breathing before he walked off the ship and back to his. His men would collect samples of DNA from the Jedi and they would find out who he was so that they could check another one off the list.
"Well done," a voice whispered in his head. "He needed to die for what he did." He chose to ignore the voice for now. Although it had helped him find the Jedi. He decided as he walked away that he might listen to this voice again if it was helpful.

Breha's main problem is that she's insecure, Add to the fact that she can't have children and that she knows almost zip about Leia's origins . . . you get the picture. In the next chapter she going to learn about Leia's pregnancy and things are going to go through the roof.
Din is all yours ILBCD, do whatever you want with him then once you're done I'll let everyone else know that he's free game.
