Leia walked with Luke along the beach by the water. The sunset creating a beautiful yellow-orange sky and the breeze felt good across her face.
"So, you two had a good time on Naboo?" he asked.
"Yes." She smiled, giving a nod.
"How's everyone?"
"They're good. Jobal and Ruwee wish that you could have been there. They want to meet you."
"And I want to meet them." He smiled.
"I'm guessing you want to know what they told me about our parents." Leia said, stopping and turning to her brother. Luke looked at her and sighed. "I can feel that you're anxious and nervous." She said.
"I'm sorry, Leia. After the way you and Han acted at dinner when I brought up the question, I didn't know how to approach you about it." He said. Leia nodded.
"They said that they don't know how Padme died. They also said that Anakin had...nightmares." Leia closed her eyes and swallowed.
"Like what?"
"Apparently, he dreamt that our mother was dying."
"That's when he turned to the Dark Side?"
"Yes. They said he did it to save our mother. But, in the process he went to the Jedi Temple a-and killed all the younglings." Leia grimaced.
"We already knew that he was seduced by the Emperor to the Dark Side. The Dark Side made him do that."
"Luke, Naboo was good but it wasn't great." She sighed. She knew that her brother, the Jedi, might be able to help her with her nightmares.
"What do you mean?"
"I had another nightmare."
"What? Just remember what I told you—" Luke sighed, but was cut off by his sister.
"No, Luke. This one was different."
"Oh."
"This time, Vader was in it, but he wasn't doing anything. He held a light in his hand and said 'Take this light. Protect it from darkness'. Luke, my son is going to be another Vader." Leia said with tears in her eyes. Luke took her hand and squeezed it.
"Leia," he sighed. "He won't. He'll be himself. He'll be fine. We're all here and we won't let anything happen. If he starts showing that he's heading toward being a Jedi, I'll help him. I won't let another Vader come about. And it won't happen because your son won't become another Vader. Alright? I promise Leia." He hugged his sister. She nodded, letting a few tears fall.
"I'm sorry, Luke." She whispered into his chest. He put his hands on her shoulders and she moved back to look at him.
"What are you sorry for?" he said, surprised.
"I didn't want to worry you with my troubles." She said shaking her head.
"Leia," he gave a quick laugh. "You're my sister. I don't mind. Especially, if you're worried about something concerning the Force, or our family, or whatever. I'm a Jedi. I'm here to help people," he smiled. "It's part of the job description." He joked. Leia laughed. They turned and continued to walk along the beach.
"So, where are you two off to next?" he asked.
"Bespin."
"Visiting Lando?"
"Mmhmm. Who else?!" She joked. He laughed.
"Have you two figured out where you're going to live yet?"
"Not yet. We're trying to decide between here, Naboo, or Yavin IV. I'm leaning more towards here or Naboo. If Alderaan wasn't destroyed, I would make sure we lived there."
"I know, Leia." He nodded.
"So, Luke. When are you going to marry Cora?" she smiled.
"Someday. We'd like to get the academy up and running first before we do anything."
"She's a great girl, Luke. I'm happy for you."
"Thanks, Leia." He smiled. "I'm happy for you and Han, too. Can't wait to meet my nephew."
"He must know who you are," Leia smiled, putting a hand on her stomach. "He kicked when he heard your voice." She laughed. Luke laughed and hugged his sister.
"We should probably get back." He noted.
"Han's probably worried. That's how I know he'll be a great father." She laughed.
"Why? Because he's worried?"
"No, recently he's been beginning to be a little overprotective." Luke laughed.
"That's a good thing. I think he'll be a great father." He smiled.
The twins walked back up to the house. Han turned around and walked up to her. He smiled. She kissed him and walked with him back to the couch.
"So, where are you two going after here?" Leia asked.
"Well, we're going to Yavin IV to see about a house and a location to set up the academy." Cora said.
"And then we thought we'd go to Naboo and meet our grandparents." Luke said.
"We're going to Bespin after this and then we're going to figure out where we want to live." Han said.
"Leia said you two are visiting Lando." Luke said.
"Yeah." Han nodded.
"It'll be good to see him again. It's been a while." Leia said.
"How's the whole Jedi academy thing going?" Han asked.
"We're going to Yavin IV after this to go see about a house and location for everything." Cora said.
"Shara and Kes are there. They might be able to help you guys out with finding places." Leia noted. Luke nodded.
"We're excited to finally get to work on it." Luke said.
"You've been thinking and planning this for a while now. It's great to see it finally moving forward. You'll be a great teacher, Luke." Leia said, smiling.
"Thanks, Leia." He smiled. "And you'll be a great mother, and Han will be a great dad. I'm happy for you two, I really am." Luke said, sincerely.
"Thank you, Luke. I think we're all happy," she smiled. "Even our son who is kicking me like he's playing a drum!" Leia said, and everyone laughed.
That night, Leia laid in the darkness beside Han. His arms were wrapped around her, his hand on her stomach. He sighed and Leia looked at him, surprised to see that he was still awake.
"You still awake?" she asked.
"Yeah." He sighed. She turned on her back and looked at him.
"So am I." she said. "But it's not my choice. He keeps kicking."
"I figured." He noted. "Did you talk to Luke?"
"About what?"
"Naboo?"
"I told him the information that I learned."
"I know that. I mean did you tell him about the nightmares?"
"Yes." She nodded. "He told me the same thing that you did. That our son won't be another Vader and that if I have any questions or problems regarding the Force, that I should talk to him."
"See? I told you it would be okay." She nodded. He sat there in the silence, thinking about what Chewie said.
"Leia?"
"Hmm?"
"There's nothing to be worried about. I know you talked to Chewie." He said. She sighed and rolled back over.
"Han, can we talk about this tomorrow. I'm tired." Han knew his wife was trying to avoid talking about it and didn't want to push it.
"Okay." He nodded and kissed her.
