princess - Hehe, glad you liked the baby with "sharp pointy teeth!" Man, I seem to be a wealth of Monty Python references lately. . .Anyhoo, there will probably be one more little part, but my main focus will be on finishing up Sn'aala Hole.

Finished this one up on lunch break too.
**claps hands** Very nice and sweet.
Yay! Kyp and Anja are getting married! 
What's the baby's name, or is it a still-withheld secret (if the question has been answered in previous replies I didn't have time to read them )
Later!

The baby is being named after Brodey's dead grandmother, Bel'aanaea Narundi. It's especially poignant because the sick and twisted grandfather you all know so well, R'aa'nlan, used to be her lover before she was betrothed to Brodey's other grandfather, the royal one.
Needless to say, it was a big mess and everybody hated each other for many years, blah blah blah. After Brodey's grandmother was killed, it suddenly seemed too pointless to fight over nothing. I don't know why Brodey named his daughter after a woman he never met, but my guess is that the reason will come out later.
And I'm REALLY trying to come up with a scenario that would be a good epilogue to this. . .this isn't over yet.

Yup, there will be more, maybe soon. It all depends on how much I don't want to do any studying.

There will be more on Sn'aala Hole if my beta realizes he has a post from me in his email. . .

LOL! Boy, does that sound familar!
I'm happy to say that my muse is working overtime now, since I'm free of homework guilt... well, almost. I have one last final tomorrow which I have to cram for tonight But I got a really long post done yesterday that I was dreading because it's got lots of TPM dialouge in it, and it's difficult to make it interesting for people to read what they already know. lol

 Last final!? Boy, am I jealous of you! I have a big bad paper to write and another test. Then I can enjoy my freedom until my one and only final, which is actually just a fourth test.
I tell ya, though, I can't get the muse to work any old time. If that was the case then the first book of this here trilogy would be finished by now.
And which part of the TPM dialogue did you have to use?

The epilogue for this is first on my list of stuff to write. Well, besides my paper.
So expect more later on.

Ok, so I DIDN'T expect this to be so long! It just ended up that way with the amount of stuff I wanted to put in there!
Anyway, on to the REAL END!
_________________________________________________________________________________
~*~Epilogue~*~
“I don’t know about this jacket,” Anja said with an apprehensive sigh. Her fingers fiddled with the fasteners to Bel’aanaea’s new fleecy outerwear, but there was no way they were ever going to reach around the large newborn’s midsection. It wasn’t even that Bela had gained two kilos in only the first four days since her birth. It was just that people didn’t expect to buy clothes for an eight and a half kilo newborn baby. “I don’t think it’s going to fit.”
“We can always ask Leia about exchanging it,” Kyp suggested, shrugging.
“I’d feel bad asking her to exchange it,” Anja moaned, making her usual pouting face. Kyp’s lips curved up in a smile; she always drove him wild with that look. It could melt any anger he ever felt toward her, and lighten up any situation.
“Well, look at it this way,” Kyp chuckled. “WHO around here is going to be able to wear that thing? Not her, not you, and certainly not me!”
“Maybe someday there will be another baby in our family, and he or she will be able to grow into this little jacket,” Anja offered, the sugar oozing off of her voice as she stroked a finger along her future husband’s nose before pressing it against his parted lips. She smiled, relishing the effect she had on him.
“Damn, woman! You just had a baby, and already you’re thinking of having another one?” Kyp asked in outrage. “Wait to see if this one turns out to be more trouble than she’s worth!”
“Shhhh!” Anja whispered as Bela fussed a little in her carrier. “Don’t yell like that. She’s going to get cranky.”
“I still don’t understand how she’s wide awake and not cranky. Have you been slipping her any sedatives?” Kyp jabbed with a grin as he raised his eyebrows.
“You’re such a comedian, you know that?” She replied dryly. “I don’t know why she’s so well-behaved. She definitely doesn’t take after her father.”
“Hey, I’m offended!” Brodey spoke up, suddenly appearing at the door. “I was very well-behaved for the past eight months.”
“Oh, of course,” Anja agreed, all-too-enthusiastically. “Except for that brief stint with your hands around Kyp’s neck.”
Brodey exhaled wearily. “Nobody is ever going to cut me any slack for that day, are they?” He folded his arms across his chest, smirking as they both shook their heads. “I didn’t think so.”
“I think the words ‘rabid rancor’ come to mind when I think back on how ballistic you went,” Anja groaned, reliving the scene in her head.
“You weren’t the rancor’s prey,” Kyp reminded her. “My memories of the experience are much more vivid.”
“Can we not always discuss this little incident every time we’re all together?”
Brodey interrupted. “I could be continuously nagging Jaina and Jag for that fateful pre-flight check that led to our crash on Yavin Four. I could be all bent out of shape about the loss of my ship and how that trip brought you two together as a couple, but I don’t, because I’m over it!”
“Cut the crap,” His grandfather barked harshly from behind him. “The only reason you’re not still bitter is because a certain physician cousin of yours attracted your attention.”
“The old geezer is right, as usual,” Kyp chimed in smugly, elbowing his friend in the ribs. “So when are you going to make a move on her?”
“Probably when he’s certain he won’t be disemboweled for said move,” R’aa’nlan reasoned, reaching over to smack Kyp upside the back of the head. “And don’t call me an old geezer to my face, or you get the smack!”
“Brodey, I love the way your family expresses love for each other,” Kyp grumbled, rubbing the stinging area on the back of his head.
“Yeah, I guess you’re now an honorary member,” Brodey laughed. “Speaking of family, she hasn’t made a sound through all this arguing!” He reached down, carefully scooping his baby daughter up against his chest.
“It’s a natural defense mechanism. In our family, you hear screaming and immediately ignore it,” R’aa’nlan chortled. “So, are you clowns going to continue with the bickering, or can we take her home?”
“We were just about to leave,” Anja told him. “We had her in her carrier, but we couldn’t get this jacket on her.”
R’aa’nlan pulled a face as he scrutinized the garment. “That thing is bright enough to give the poor girl seizures! And the person who bought it obviously didn’t know that this wasn’t a human child.”
“That doesn’t matter,” Brodey cooed, kissing the top of Bela’s head. “She has her daddy to keep her warm.”
The old man held out his open palm to his grandson, threatening him. “Don’t keep on talking in that voice if you don’t want one of these!”
“Gods, you people are so barbaric!” Anja huffed, grabbing the baby carrier on her way out. “I’m leaving now. I’ve had enough of this place.”
“I don’t think she picked up on my sarcasm,” R’aa’nlan said reflectively.
“You have a special brand of sarcasm, old man,” Brodey reminded him as they followed Anja to the front desk. She was already arguing with the staff nurse when they got there.
“Look, can I just get sign something and get out of here? I’m kind of antsy in this place!” Anja complained, dragging her fingers through her long hair in frustration.
“It’ll take a few minutes for us to draw up some of the paperwork,” The nurse informed her. “And then it needs to be signed by the physician on call.”
“Well, can you call him down here quickly?” Anja asked impatiently.
“She’ll be here as soon as she’s free. Until then, please have a seat, Ms. Gallandro,” The nurse replied, sounding like she too was reaching the edge of her patience.
Anja reluctantly did as she was told, mumbling something about the service around here as she stalked over to the seating area and plopped down. Kyp dutifully followed to console her, leaving Brodey to deal with the child and the ornery old man.
He stared at the old man, and the old man stared right back at him, a mischievous glint in his eye. “I see the gears turning in your head. What witty thing are you planning on saying now?”
“Why must I always be planning some sort of verbal attack?” R’aa’nlan retorted with a growing smile. “You vilify me a little too much.”
“What are you holding behind your back?” Brodey asked suspiciously. His grandfather skillfully dodged Brodey’s attempts to glance around him. “This is why I don’t trust you.”
“Never trust him,” Sir'tesé drawled, coming over to throw an arm around her uncle’s shoulders. “He’s only here to make your life miserable.” She walked over to stand next to Brodey. “By the way, he’s got some dodgy-looking stuffed ewok behind his back.”
“You have KETTCH with you?” Brodey asked irately, waking up his snoozing daughter with his sudden increase in volume. He quickly shifted his attention to the baby in his arms. “Shhhh, it’s all right. I’m sorry for waking you, princess.”
“There he goes again with that baby talk,” The old man growled scornfully. “I swear, one more word and I’ll smack you good, boy!”
Siri, for once, had nothing to add to his grandfather’s input. She seemed to be staring curiously, her eyes glued on him and the baby as he soothed his daughter.
“What’s the matter? Never seen a baby before?” He joked, waggling his eyebrows.
Sir'tesé rolled her eyes in response. “I did deliver her, you idiot.” Then her voice softened. “It’s just strange seeing you with a baby in your arms.”
“Don’t get all sentimental on me, or else the old man will have to slap you too!” Brodey laughed.
“Siri!” Anja yelled, immediately calling the attention of everyone in the room. “I need you to sign some paperwork right now so I can leave this place!”
Brodey sensed his cousin cringe at the other woman’s request; it was no secret that Anja and Siri had their differences. “All right, Anja. Do you have the paperwork all filled out and ready for me to sign?”
“Not yet,” Anja stated dejectedly. “Can you please tell the nurse at the front desk to stop filing her nails and produce some paperwork to fill out?”
Siri chaffed further at the young woman’s rudeness, and was tired enough from her shift at this point to look for an easy way out of the situation. “I’ll tell you what, Anja. Why don’t you and Brodey and the baby all go home? I’ll take care of your paperwork.”
“Thank you so much!” Anja squealed. “Oh, I could kiss you!”
“Please don’t,” Siri groaned, backing away as Anja lunged at her.
“Wow, are you sure?” Brodey whispered. “That’s a lot to take on with your schedule!”
“Trust me, it’s a lot easier than breaking up a cat-fight. If the staff nurse heard any more comments about her then she certainly wouldn’t let it slide,” She told him. “Anyway, get out of here.”
A strange smile graced her lips as she watched him leave, the tiny pink hat on the newborn’s head visible over his shoulder. It was definitely strange to see such a change in her cousin. He now was taking on the responsibilities of a real adult. Things were strange indeed. Although she hated to admit it, she was beginning to see him in a whole new light.
_________________________________________
“Kettch loves the baby!” R’aa’nlan teased in a high-pitched voice as he waved the doll around in the air. Suddenly the ship’s corridors seemed a lot scarier.
“Get that scary thing away from the baby!” Brodey demanded. “You’re going to give her nightmares.”
“Oh, I fully intend to give her nightmares,” R’aa’nlan assured him, “Just not with the Kettch doll.”
“Crazy old man,” Brodey grumbled. Still, it was the greatest sense of family togetherness he’d felt in a long time. He had a new daughter and the support of his friends and family. Perhaps not every friend or family member would support his situation, but right now it felt like enough. And enough felt awful good.
___________________________________________
Major Wes Janson spotted the group as they exited the hospital wing. Now he could finally ambush them and reclaim his precious Kettch. It was only a matter of being sneaky, and sneaky happened to be his middle name. Grinning widely, he set off in pursuit, his low giggling echoing down the corridor.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Sooooo, I managed to restrain myself from having Wes say, "My preciousssssssss!" at the end. You should be proud of me!
What d'ya think? A good ending?
