I am so sorry that I took so long to write this.
I decided to do NaNoWriMo and it was taking up a lot of my time.
I have opted to not finish NaNo since I am really far behind. And I mean far behind. It was depressing me and that isn't good for me at all.
Either way here's the next chapter of 'Who am I?'

Luke smiled as Leia and little Anakin came into his recovery room. "I drew you a picture!" Anakin said as he hurried to the bed with a datapad in hand.
Luke gently took the 'pad from the boy and smiled when he saw the picture. It was a drawing of him, Anakin, Leia, Han and Chewie smiling. The back round was a blue sky with twin suns.
"That's a nice picture. I bet you worked hard on it." Luke commented. Anakin nodded. "This is another one I'm working on." The boy said as he reached over and tapped the screen and selected a file. It was of a Pod Racing Arena with a group of people cheering.
"Have you ever seen a pod race?" Luke asked the boy. He watched as Anakin frowned; searching his memory.
"I know I haven't seen one but something tells me that I have." Anakin finally said slowly.
Luke looked at Leia and saw a puzzled expression on her face.
Neither of them had time to question the boy on the matter since the door opened admitting Han and Chewie.
"How you doing Kid?" Han asked as he came over to Luke's side. "You look strong enough to tussle with a wookiee and come out on top as well."
Luke smiled fondly at Han.
"All thanks to you coming after me." Luke told the smuggler.
"That's two that you owe me young one." Han said jokingly as he held up two fingers.
Luke's chuckling was nearly drowned out by Anakin's giggles.
Luke watched as Han turned to Leia.
"Well now that Luke is on the route to recovery I think I should take my leave." The smuggler said.
"You should wait. Until we get the energy shield up and running I rather that no ships leave the planet." Leia said calmly.
"Are you sure that you don't want me to stick around and help you in any way?" Han asked in polite curiosity that hid something.
"You are not the best of role models." Leia informed Han coolly.
"But I am a good mechanic and I don't tell him to get lost." Han came back.
Luke watched as Leia nodded in agreement but didn't say anything.
At that moment an announcement came over the PA asking for all available high ranking personal to report to the command center.
Luke watched Leia run a hand through her hair before turning to him and her son.
"Be good and stay out of trouble." She said as she bent to kiss her son's cheek.

There was organized chaos in Echo Base. Everyone was hurrying around to pack everything that needed to be packed the moment that Han reported that the object had been a droid that self-destructed.
Leia found herself kissing her son good bye before he boarded the first transport to leave the Base.
The children were always there first priority. The children were their future and Leia would rather rot in the worst Hell in imagination than allow her son to be murdered before he had a chance to live.
"Stay with your friends and if I find you back in the base after you are supposed to be gone I will not be happy." Leia told the seven year old boy.
Anakin nodded and walked onto the ship.
She stayed there until the ship lifted off before hurrying back to the command center to help coordinate the attack.
After she checked on how preparations were going to defend the base she headed for the command center.
"A fleet of star destroyers exited hyperspace shortly after the first two transports entered hyperspace. We have put up the energy shield and rerouted as much power as we dare to it. We are also preparing for a ground assault." An officer reported.
"Very good, we must prepare for them to target the power generator." Leia commented. "We have to hold off as long as possible."
"Another transport is ready for takeoff." Someone informed her.
"Prepare to open the shield." Leia ordered.
After a few moments Leia heard one of the female officers order the Ion Cannon Controllers to stand by then to fire.
After a few tense seconds it was announced that the transport had made it to safety. Several people in the command center cheered but soon they were all too worried about the upcoming battle to cheer as other transports took off.
The longer the battle went the more the base shook. Leia prayed to the Force that they could hold off long enough to evacuate.

Han raced through the corridors of the falling apart base in search of Leia. He had promised little Anakin before the boy had left that he would make sure that Leia got off Hoth.
He moved he heard the evacuation signal sound. A few seconds later he ran into Leia and 3PO hurrying towards what had to be the way to her transport.
"Why are you still here?" she asked.
"I promised your son that I'd make sure that you got off this ice ball." Han replied.
"Fine," Leia said as they hurried together for the hangar that the last transport was in.
As they ran an ominous rumbling filled the passageway. The pair came to a halt just as the ceiling collapse in front of them effectively blocking their path.
"Rish Transport this is Lea. I have been cut off from you. Lift off and I'll get a ride with Captain Solo." Leia said into her commlink.
If it had been anyone else Han would have been annoyed but since he like Leia he didn't mind.
With that the pair ran back the way that they came; passing a confused 3PO.
Once they were aboard the Falcon it refused to start for several minutes but in the end she started up and Han flew the ship out of the hangar before anymore Imperial Troops could show up.
Hopefully they would be able to reach the Rendezvous safely.

Anakin sat on the transport heading for the Rebel Fleet. He was worried for his mother's safety but he trusted Han to get his mother off of Hoth before the Empire could take her prisoner.
He felt Padme touch his hand.
"Everything will be alright Ani." She told him.
"Your mother is smart enough to know when she needs live to fight another day." Mace told him.
Anakin knew that they were trying to help him feel better but it wasn't helping a lot.

I decided not to do the kiss scene since Han knows that Leia has been burned by several men and called rude names like whore. So he wouldn't want to jeopardize any relationship he wants with her by making her angry and lowering her opinion of him.
