Authors note: I do not own Star wars. It belongs to George Lucas, Disney, and a few other companies/people. The rights to it is all over the place. I do not however have rights or profit. This is Fanfiction for a reason :).
I Did end up doing that challenge i mentioned in the previous chapter. So If your curious go give that a look see. Leave a review if you do. This chapter was super fun to write so I hope you enjoy it :) Its the shortest by far. I didn't want to stretch it just to make it longer. The next one will be pretty long though.
Luke carefully landed on the planet of Naboo. It wasn't the alliance HQ but there were many loyalists within the planet and it was the closest one to the ship and the girl needed immediate medical attention. Every moment counted.
He shut the controls and power off , once the top was up and he could get out. He unbuckled and with some difficulty got the girl. Luke was careful as he jumped down not to jostle her, letting out a breath of relief when he hadn't. Her breathing was shallow, he could barely feel her breath, she was stable but she needed attention and quick.
A medical team was waiting and once he saw them he headed toward them. Han was there as well, but he seemed frozen.
"No..no..No...NO!"at first he whispered like he didn't believe it until he shouted that last one. Like being slapped Han ran over to Luke, a hand going to the girls forhead, the other resting on lukes shoulder.
He looked at him confused. "Han are you ok?"
"NO I'm not ok kid. I'm far from being fucking ok, Shit.. Lalia what did they do to you.. ignoring lukes protests he took her from him. "
"Wait, are you telling me SHE is your SISTER."
Han refused to let the nurses take Lalia and carried her, with Luke falling into step beside him toward the medical wing. with a bit of annoyance, though he didn't know where that came from.
"You seem surprised"
Luke looked at the girl in the smugglers arms. Then at Han. and back again. After a few moments he shook his head.
"She doesn't have any similar features to you that's all."
"My father adopted her after her mother died. As far as I"m concerned she's my sister. Family isn't always blood kid."
"We've been through hell and back. Hell I even taught her to walk!"
Luke nodded, He had never seen him so tense, not even when they rescued leia.
It didn't take them long to get to the medical Area. Luke wasn't allowed back in the rooms so he chose a spot on the floor to sit out of habit. He rarely sat in chairs. Han went back, and came out a couple minutes later by himself.
Luke tiredly watched Han. Sometimes closing his eyes but he didn't find any rest, he shifted leaning against the wall. one leg out and the other bent. Waiting for news.
Han on the other hand wasn't even trying to calm down. He was pacing and more than once snapped at the droid telling them that there was still no news on her condition.
"Then get back in there and figure it out!"
Luke for once agreed. It seemed like they were wasting time keeping them "Informed' that could be used on the patient.
It was hours before a doctor finally left the room. He cleared his throat causing Luke to wake up with a jerk after dozing for a few moments. and Han who had finally laid out over the couch to stand up.
"Is my sister ok?" Han asked the doctor, well more like demanded.
"She's stable. She had several broken bones that had to be re broken and set. Some clots here and there, and she needed a lot of stitches. With enough visits, most scars should go away on there own but there are a few we can't really do anything about.
"Can we see her?" Luke asked. His eyes on Han.
"Yes but be quite."
The doctor lead them into a sterile white room. Luke could see a droid taking away some bloody bandages and equipment.
Lalia lay still, but looking peaceful on the bed. an oxygen mask over her face, the plastic would fog up a bit as she breathed. Luke moved close but let Han take the seat next to her. He watched as Han held the girls hand in both of his. She seemed to stir at his touch.
"Hey" She gave his hand a squeeze smiling at him.
"Your ok, when I didn't hear anything from you I started to worry"
"Me? Damn lily girl I can handle myself but, you look like hell."
"You should see them" She smiled though her eyes went to Luke. Who had been giving them privacy.
"I never got to thank you properly." She held out a hand to him, which he took. Relaxing feeling the warmth of her skin. She had been so cold before.
"No need to thank me. I should be apologizing..."
"It's no ones fault but my own. I'm the one that got caught."
Han watched the two of them talk. His eyes trained on their hands. Neither one of them had let go. His sister was on a lot of medication so he couldn't get an accurate read to what she was feeling and thinking. So he watched Luke's body language.
He was tense still but as they talked, Luke's body language slowly changed, He became more relaxed.
Han studied Luke's eyes, seeing mostly filled with concern and something else. The air seemed to change when the two made eye contact and started talking. A changed charged with potential even a non sensitive like him could feel.
Hell No. He thought. As a brother he didn't like this one bit. He wasn't going to let anything bloom between the two if he had a choice. Or at least he wasn't going to make it easy. The two barely knew each other. They shouldn't be gravitating as much as they were. Maybe over time and he felt like they really did know each other he'd be less on edge. But at that moment he was going to be the a barrier between the two .
Besides his sister was underage. The situation just seemed to scream trouble. He could just be being over protective and seeing things he actually wasn't but he felt in his gut that wasn't the case.
Han coughed and threw his arm around the boy's shoulders. breaking the spell that the two seemed to have been under.
"You need rest. So I'm just going to take Farm Boy here and let you get to it. We'll be back to check on you . just focus on healing."
"But' She tried to sit up, but Han pushed her gently back down. She gave in after a small fight.
Han one Sister Zero.
He kissed her temple and pushed her hair out of her face before guiding Luke out of the danger zone and into a much better , sister free environment.
"So kid. Tell me everything." He asked as they left the room. he could of sworn he hard his sisters laugh. But maybe that was his imagination.
"Well, as you know it started with those dreams."
