Chapter 54 – Disturbance in the Force

The day as passed with the weather getting worse by the hour. It was around 8pm and Luke was sitting next to Ines, in their bed, watching their baby son, who just had his dinner meal and was happily sitting on the bed playing around, while being watch by his parents.

Luke had his left arm around Ines shoulders, while she had her head resting on his left shoulder.

"I have to admit that I'm a little hungry," Ines said looking at her husband, who chuckle and kissed her forehead.

"Well Leia called saying to not make any dinner cause the kids would bring some pizza for us."

"Made by Han. Can't wait," Ines replied making him laugh, which made their baby laugh too.

In that moment, they heard the door opening, and the kids, alongside with Grogu, R2 and Han entered inside the bedroom.

"Hey kid, glad to see you look a lot better," he said approaching them, at the same time the kids jump on the bed, including Grogu, who did one of his jumps, making Luke smile.

"I see you didn't forget our training."

"Well here it is," Han said handling a plate with a very look like delicious pizza. "Hope you like it."

Looking at it, Ines glare at her brother in law.

"You did this?" she asked with a frown.

"I can cook too kid, what did you expect after going from system to system so many years."

"It is good mama," Padmé said. "Trust me."

"Well we need napkins and drinks," Ines said looking at Luke.

"I will get mom," Ben said right away, getting off the bed.

"Thank sweetie. You know where the things are right?" she asked him, making the 6 years old nod.

"I help Ben," Padmé said right away and followed her brother.

After a while, they entered in the bedroom with drinks and napkins.

"Thank you dears," Luke said to his kids.

"Now let me see if this is really good," Ines said looking at Han, and giving a bite, she stays there eating it, pretending to think about it.

"So…" Han asked.

"I'm surprise how good it is." she said winking at him.

"This is delicious," Luke nod.

"Told you so Papa," Padmé said pointing the finger at him.

"That's it Padmé, tell your father how good Uncle Han doing pizzas," Han laughed at his niece.

Even the baby, was getting interesting in the food and crawling near his parents he tried to grab their plate so he could have a little bit.

"Sweetie you already ate and this is nor for you yet," Luke said looking at his son, who looked at his father with his matching blue eyes and started to do the cutest pout, something he always did when he was denied something that he really wanted.

"Oh look your son just doing the same pout you used to do when we met, kid."

Luke looked at his brother in law.

"If my kids were not here I would tell you to go to some place, right now."

"Where Papa," Alli asked frowning.

"Yes, Papa, answer your daughter. She is curious," Han asked smiling.

"Nowhere sweetie." Luke answered her looking at Han.

"Well I need to go to my home, taking care of my two nightmares right now," Han said standing up, the same time a thunder in the distance was heard. "I believe we will have a very interesting night. See you tomorrow. Good to see you well kid."

"Good night Han. Send a kiss to everyone." Ines said giving a tiny piece of the pizza to her son, who smile happy. "Thanks for the pizza."

"No problem kid." he waved back and left leaving the Skywalkers alone with Grogu and R2.

"Come on kids go put your pajamas and brush your teeth. Ben will you help your sisters?" Ines asked.

"Yes mom. Come on girls," he told to his sisters, making Luke and Ines smile when the girls followed their big brother with Grogu and R2 right behind them.

Luke and Ines continue to ate their dinner, and they had finished it when the kids return and jump on the bed in their pajamas.

"Did you brush your teeth?" Luke asked, laughing when the girls show him their teeth. "Very good. Come on, say goodnight to mama and get ready to go to bed. Papa will tuck you in a moment."

"Okay," the twins went to Ines and hugged their mother, making Ines hugged them tightly.

"Goodnight sweeties. Sleep well okay."

"Goodnight mama," the twins said kissing Ines cheek. Then she hugged Ben, who also hugged his mother.

"Goodnight mom. Sleep well."

"Goodnight sweetheart," Ines smiled at her son. Even Grogu wanted to say goodnight.

While Luke went to the kitchen to put the plates aside, the kids went to their own bedrooms waiting for him. Entered in his bedroom, he picked his baby son.

"Come on sweetie, time for bed. Say goodnight mama," Luke smiled waving his arms towards Ines who laughed at that. "I'll be right back." he said and left, leaving Ines who lay back in bed, looking at the window, seeing the rain that started to pour, indicating the night would be bad.

Entering the boys room, Luke put the baby on his crib, and after covering and kissing his little forehead he gave him his pacifier. Heading to Ben's bed, the boy got under the covers and lay down, while Luke pull the covers up and kissed his forehead too.

"Goodnight my son. May the Force be with you."

"Goodnight dad, May the Force be with you too," Ben said.

Smiling Luke left the room, tapping his droid friend in the way. "Take care of them my friend," he said before he left, making R2 beeped and when Luke turn off the light, R2 went to protecting mode scanning the room.

In the girls room, the girls were already in the beds.

"Okay girls, time to get some sleep," Luke said heading to Padmé's bed and covered her, kissing her forehead.

"Papa, is going to rain badly?" Alli asked from her bed, with Grogu lay on his crib next to her.

Heading back to her, Luke covered her and kissed her forehead too.

"Yes baby girl, it will. But you are a big girl now, right? Besides Grogu is here, and he is not afraid, right?" Luke said looking at the kid, who babble.

"Baku, baku," he said.

"See?"

Alli looked at Grogu and to her twin and then back to her father.

"I'm a big girl now. But if it get worst, don't blame me to be with you and mama," she said making Luke laughed at her.

"Well I wouldn't be surprise with that, after all I made you with mama, I know you to well," he said kissing her cheeks non stop. "Get to sleep, the three of you. I love you all of you, yes you too Grogu. May the Force be with you," he said before turn off the light and closing the door, he went back to his bedroom.

Putting his pajamas and brush his teeth, he got under the covers and pulling Ines into his arms, he kissed her forehead.

"Are the kids in bed already?" she asked.

"Yes, lets hope they stay there, specially a certain twin," Luke said laughing.

"Well she is your daughter, so don't expect that. She has too much of her father in her," Ines giggled, making Luke rolled his eyes.

"Very funny. I see you are indeed better," he winked, holding his wife closer.


A Few Hours Later.

Hours had a pass and the weather got worst outside, with the pouring rain and the wind picking up.

Everyone were asleep inside the Skywalker apartment, when all of the sudden Luke woke up, and with a movement his lightsaber flew into his hand and turn it on, the room was illuminated by the green light from his lightsaber.

Sitting in his bed, breathing heavily and sweat dripping from his forehead, Luke looked around with his lightsaber on his hand.

Looking to his left, he checked on Ines, who was sleeping deeply, and turning off his lightsaber, he touched her body, sighing in relief to know she didn't have any fever.

Thinking of his kids, he jump off the bed right away and went to the boys room, the closer one from his and Ines bedroom, and opening the door, R2 looked at him.

"Hey R2," he whispered and checking his boys, he sighed seeing them sleeping.

Deciding to check the girls, room, he also entered slowly and also was relieve to see the girls and Grogu sleeping.

Seeing Padmé sleeping on her stomach, he pulled the covers up and did the same with Alli.

After seeing his kids and Grogu were fine, he went back to his bedroom, where Ines was already awake and was looking at him with a worried look on her face. He knew already that she felt his distress the moment she woke up.

"Babe, what is it?" she asked, wrapping her left arm around his waist, the moment he got under the covers, after putting his lightsaber on the bed side table. "Did you feel something? I know you and I can see something is bothering you. What was it? Bad dream?"

"I don't think it was a dream."

"What was it?" she asked running her hand through his blond hair.

"Babe, remember when we were heading back to Alderaan, the day we met, and all the sudden Ben started to feel bad?"

"Of course I remember, how I can forget? It was the moment he felt the destruction of my planet," Ines replied, remembering that she had a bad feeling in that moment with his word.

"Remember what he said?"

Ines nod.

"Yes. He felt a great disturbance in the force."

"Exactly. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced," Luke replied repeating the exacts words his old friend spoke 11 years ago.

"Luke, did you feel something familiar?"

"For a moment I thought it was a dream, or something. I woke all of the sudden and I thought maybe it was the kids but they are fine and you were fine," he said looking at her. "I don't think it was a bad dream. Something bad just happened."

"Do you think something was destroyed like my planet?"

"Or attacked."

"Oh no. What are we going to do?" Ines said sadly, making Luke pulling her into his arms.

"Sadly we can't do nothing but wait for this storm to pass. Then we need to find what happened outside this system. But I feel it has begun."

"Begun what?" she asked looking at him.

"The war." he said kissing her forehead.

What do you guys think what happened? What Luke felt through the Force?
