Chapter 36 – Grandma Padmé

After they had dinner in the Temple with the rest of the Padawans and spend sometime there, hearing about what happened during the almost 2 months they were away, Luke and Ines decided it was time to get home, since they still had to undo the luggage, and give a bath to the kids before they put them to bed, and especially they needed to visit Leia and know how little Ani was, before it started to rain, since some really dark clouds were already in the horizon.

Leaving with Ahsoka, who decided to go with them, and see Ani before go home as well, they were reaching their building.

"You did what?" Ahsoka said looking at twins, after Luke tells her why the girls were grounded. "You know that was very dangerous, especially for small kids like you and your cousins."

"But we wanted to see the canyon where Papa hide when he was little boy," Padmé told her.

"But you could get hurt."

"We know. And we are sorry," Alli pout looking at her father who laughed at her.

"I know you are sorry, but you still grounded. No sweets and no toys for a month," he spoke looking at his twin daughters.

"Except when we go to bed," Padmé looked at him. "Right Papa?"

"Mama and Papa allow you two to have at least a toy in bed because we know you can't sleep without one, so we allow you to choose one toy, that you only can have in bed."

"Oh really? And what did you choose?" Ahsoka asked them.

"Mama and Papa," Alli said.

"The dolls that Han gave them last year. They choose those so they can switch every night," Ines said laughing, while wipe her baby's mouth, who looked at her smiling.

"Smart move. High five," Ahsoka said making the girls laugh at their aunt.

"Are you going home mom?" Ben asked looking at his mother.

"Not yet buddy, we will go check on your cousin Anakin first, okay?" She said running her fingers through her son's hair, gaining a nod from the almost 6 years old.

The moment, they reached the door of Leia's and Han's apartment, 3PO appeared and opened it.

"Master Luke, Mistress Ines and Master Ahsoka, it is good to see you." the protocol droid.

"How about us?" Alli asked putting her hands on her waist.

"Of course it is good to see all of you, even you my dear friend," 3PO replied while R2 beeped at it.

"Hello 3PO. We came here to see how is Anakin?" Ines asked.

"Oh, little Ani is laying in Mistress Leia bedroom right now."

"What the doctor said?" Ahsoka asked.

Iris entered in the room, and smiled the moment she saw her uncle and aunt and her cousins.

"Aunt Ines! Uncle Luke! It is so good to finally see you," she said heading to their direction and hugged them, and the little kids who were happy to see their cousin.

Standing up, she smiled at the baby, who smiled at her.

"Look at you. So much bigger," she said tickling the baby, who wrapped his arms around his mother's neck and hid his face on her neck.

"Iris, how is Anakin?" Luke asked his niece.

"Well Dr. Khuslar left not long ago, and father and Uncle Chewie just left to get the medicine he prescribe to him. But he gave some medicine and now he finally fell asleep. He is not throwing up anymore, and the fever is going down."

"And where is he?" Ahsoka asked her.

"He will sleeping in my parents bedroom tonight. Mother won't let him sleep alone in his bed."

"Is she in there?"

"Yes aunt Ines. Grandmother is there too. She came from the senate and when she arrived she saw Ani like that, so she stayed to help mother with Bail."

"We go to see them okay. Can you watch over the little kids, please?" Ines asked her.

"Sure. 3PO will help too, right?"

"Of course miss."

The moment they entered inside Leia and Han's bedroom, they saw Leia laying on her right, running her left hand through Ani's blond hair, the four years old was asleep, while Amidala was sit on the bed.

"Hey," she said the moment she saw them, and standing up, she head towards them and hugged her son and then her daughter in law. Looking at her youngest grandson, Amidala smiled at him, who also gave her one his drool smiles.

"Look at you. You grown so much. Come to grandma," she said smiling when the baby raised his arms, wanted to be held by his grandmother.

"Oh, he has being refusing everyone today," Ines said smiling, looking Amidala looking at Luke, Jr and kissing his chubby little cheeks. She was glad she was there to at least watch one of her grand kids baby phase. Be able to watch him crawl, and saying his first words, see him walk for the first time, something she never saw the other ones do.

"He knows that his grandma, right sweetie?" Amidala said.

Luke looked at her and smiling, he started to babble.

"Mamamamamama!"

"Did he say mama?" Amidala asked looking at Luke and Ines.

"Yes, and he also started to say dada too," Luke smiled when his son look at him.

"Dadadadada!"

"See," he replied.

"And how is this little one?" Ines asked approaching the bed.

"The fever went down and he stop throwing up, which is good. Han and Chewie went to pick the medicine he needs." Leia answered her.

"Poor thing. I'm sure he will running around as usual. Kids recovered really fast." Ines said nodding.

"Leia was telling me how everything went back on Tatooine," Amidala said looking at her baby grandson, who was focus on her earrings right now.

"Yeah, it went well to be honest. I was even talking to Ines and Ahsoka that we need to at least tell Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar, but without being suspicious," Luke said looking at his mother.

"I was talking to your sister bout that."

"What do you mean, mother?"

"Well, I had an idea. You know that Mon Mothma birthday is tomorrow, and she knew you would come before her birthday, so she invited us for her birthday party tomorrow night. Then you can tell the latest news without anyone be suspicious of anything."

Luke and Ines looked at each other.

"It is a good idea, but first we don't have a birthday gift for her and I don't have anything to wear for a fancy dinner party," Ines said looking at her mother in law.

"And do you think my mother didn't think of that before hand, Ines," Leia giggled.

"Yes, Leia is right. I already bought presents, for both of you, even if Leia already said that she can't go with Ani sick, but we will give that gift in your name. And I know my daughter in law well enough, so I got a dress for you that it is your bed." Amidala said smiling. "Besides your father will go too."

"That is great, but who will stay watching the kids?" Luke asked.

"I don't mind," Ahsoka said looking at them.

"You don't go?" Ines asked her friend.

"I was never a big fan of those type of parties, so I don't mind to stay watching over this cutie and his siblings."

"Then it is a deal," Luke said, and looking back at his wife. "I think we need to go. We need to unpack, and get ready to put the kids to bed. Besides it is getting bad outside, and you two need to ge home if you don't want soaking wet, cause it will rain badly tonight."

"Yeah, I think you are right," Amidala said passing the baby to his father and walking near Leia, she kissed her daughter goodnight, before get closer to Luke and Ines and also kiss them and the baby goodnight. "I will pick up tomorrow at 1900."

"Okay. See ya," Luke said. "And we are going too. Goodnight sis and tomorrow I will check on Ani."

"Thanks. Goodnight" Leia said, while Luke and Ines left the room and picking up the kids and the luggage, they left with R2 to their apartment above, while outside the first drops of rain was starting to fall.

And everyone is back to Coruscant.
