Chapter 26 – The Solos

The Skywalkers were outside the farm at the moment. It was the middle of the morning, and the suns were already up high and it was already hot, that was why Ines made sure her kids would wear a hat, which for Padmé, was of a little fight, since she was a baby that she hated things on her head, including hats, but today her mother won that fight.

Looking at her 8 months baby, on his walker, babbling at R2, and laughing every time the little droid beeped, Ines adjust his little white hat, smiling when the baby looked up at her.

Looking back at Luke, she asked:

"What time they will arrived?"

"They said it was during the morning," Luke replied. "I'm sure they will be here soon."

After talking to Leia and Han to be in Tatooine, in their farm, not only because they missed them but Luke thought it was a good idea for Han to be there with him and Din, talking to Boba, at first Han was not happy about it, but the fact that he also missed them, after a while they accepted.

"Dad, where Uncle Chewie will sleep?" Ben asked, wondering where the friendly Wookiee would sleep.

The moisture farm wad not that big, but they were able to arrange a bedroom, right below the kids bedroom, where Han and Leia could sleep with the twins. The fact that Iris, had to stay in Coruscant because school was starting soon, helped a lot.

As for Chewie, in the beginning they thought he could sleep in the Falcon, but Luke and Ines didn't want him to sleep alone in the ship, so they were able to put a bed in the garage, which Chewie didn't mind, even if he would share with with 3PO.

"He will sleep in garage, so relax, he would not be alone in the Falcon," Luke answered his son, who nod in relieve, since the almost 6 years old boy didn't like that idea in the beginning.

After a few minutes, Luke felt a little hand grabbing is left one and shaking. Looking down he smiled at one of his twins, who was looking at him.

"What is it sweetie?" he asked.

"Papa, was in there that you hide from the mean lady when you were boy?" Alli asked, pointing to a canyon in the distance.

Looking at that direction, flashes of that night came into his mind, especially the fall he had from one of the cliffs. He was lucky he didn't break his neck that night.

"Yes it was actually. It was there that I ran away that night. Why?"

"Just asking," the little girl said.

He was about to asked again, when they heard a noise of a ship approaching.

"They here," Padmé yelled jumping up and down happy.

Looking up, they all saw the Falcon approaching the moisture farm and landing safely right next to Luke and Ines ship.

Once the ramp touched the ground, the two Solo Twins came running towards their Uncle and Aunt, who laughed at them.

"Uncle Luke!" Bail yelled jumping in Luke's arms, who picked his 4 years old nephew laughing.

"Hey buddy. Long time no see. Gosh you got bigger these past month or what?"

Ines laughed when Anakin wrapped his arms around her neck and gave his aunt a big hug.

"I miss you aunt Ines," the blond hair and blue eyes boy said looking at her.

"I miss you too, Ani," she said pulling her nephew and kissed his cheeks, before he walked towards his twins cousins and hug them too.

"I thought you missed me too, kid," Han said from the ramp, with Leia and Chewie right behind them.

The moment the kids saw the big Wookie, they yelled.

"Uncle Chewie," and ran towards him, making Chewie growled happy.

"I see someone miss Chewie more than us," Leia said looking at her nieces, who were laughing.

"I missed you, aunt Leia," Ben said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Thank you sweetie. I know you did. I missed you too," she said kissing the top of of her nephew's head.

"And I missed you too 3PO," Ben said walking towards the golden droid.

"Thank you, sir."

R2 beeped.

"Oh don't be jealous," 3PO said towards his old friend.

Han walked towards Luke and Ines and hugged them, before crouch in front of the baby, who raised his little arms towards his godfather.

"At least someone missed me. Come here, little fella," He said picking his nephew who grabbed his uncle's cheeks and started to babble.

Leia approached her twin brother and gave him a big hug, before head to her best friend and sister in law.

"Finally. I thought I would never see both of you ever again," she said after hugging Ines, and smiled at her baby nephew, who gave her a big smile.

"Well don't over react. We would be back home in a couple of weeks," Ines replied, glaring at the kids, who were already running around the farm.

"So, it was here that you grow up until we met that day?" Han said looking at the place, "No wonder you were a whiny kid back then," he finished making Luke rolled his eyes.

"It looks so small from here," Leia said.

"It does, but it is not that small," Ines answered her. "But we did manage to make a bedroom for you, even if you two had to share with those two little runners," she pointed to the twins who were laughing and yelling. "Gosh I missed this," she laughed.

"And Chewie, thank you for accepting being in the garage with 3PO. We just thought it wasn't fair for you to sleep alone in the ship," Luke said, which make the Wookiee nod and growled at him, saying he didn't mind at all.

"How about we get inside, cause it is kind of hot here," Han spoke, making Leia, Ines and Luke glared at each other.

"Just like your niece Alli," Luke said smiling. "Come, on, let's get inside, we already have a meal prepare."

While Luke and Han were caring the luggage inside the home, Ines had taken Leia to the dining room, where a meal was prepare for them.

"I'm sad that Iris couldn't come. I miss her," Ines said.

"She is sorry to, but school just started and she couldn't skip it," Leia replied. "But she send hugs and kisses and she misses you guys a lot."

"We miss her too. She stayed with whom?"

"With my mother and Ahsoka," Han replied as he and Luke entered in the room and sat down.

"Mother already arrived from Naboo?" Luke asked his twin sister.

"Yes, they arrived last week, with your family too." Leia nod.

"And how it went?" he asked again.

"Apparently went well. The Gungans respect your mother a lot, kid," Han told them, making Luke nod.

"I feel sorry for Ahsoka being all alone in the Temple," Ines spoke, while she was putting the food on the table.

"Your older students are helping a lot, besides we will back home soon, right?" Leia asked looking at Luke. "When you will speak to Boba?"

"Din said he will be here at the end of the week, so we can speak to him right away."

"Look kid, I agreed with this because you will be there with Din, but if he started with his arrogant speech, I won't promise anything."

"Relax, nothing bad will happen. We will act like three adults, okay," Luke said.

Ines went to patio to call the kids and Chewie who was in the garage.

Seeing the twins near each other, and quiet, she approached them.

"What is going on here?" she asked with a her hands on her hips.

"Nothing mama," Alli said smiling.

"Yes, aunt Ines," Bail said too. "I'm hungry."

"Of course you are. Come on, let's eat," she said watching the kids running towards the dining room.


The day went by with Luke and Ines showing the farm to them and spoke about the time when Leia and Ines were kids, since Leia had also told them what happened, and that was when Leia also find out what happened to Luke too.

When the night came, and because everyone was tired from the trip, all of them went to bed for a goodnight sleep.

When morning arrived, Luke and Ines woke up with Leia calling them.

Walking outside the bedroom, Luke frown when he saw his sister with a worried look on her face.

"What is going on?" he asked, while Ines came right behind him putting her robe.

"Han and I woke and the bed where the kids were sleeping is empty."

"Empty?" Luke repeat glaring at Ines.

She knew right away when he was thinking, and running upstairs to the her kids bedroom, she only found Ben sleeping on his bed.

"The girls are not in their bed too," she said right away.

"Something happened," Luke said looking at them.

The Solos arrived and where are the twins? What happened?
