Once or twice she’d even had the wild urge to jump on him, throw him down on the ground, and press her lips and entire body firmly against his. It was almost a primal, animalistic stirring that she fought fiercely to tamp down.
Very interesting first kiss visual 
“Kid?” Jaina exclaimed. “She’s not exactly a kid, Jacen—or hadn’t you noticed?”
She delighted in the blush that creeped across his face.
Jacen suddenly felt uncomfortable as he silently answered Jaina’s question in his mind. Sure he had noticed that Tahiri wasn’t a child anymore, but it made it so much less complicated if he could think of her that way. Far too frequently, he was catching himself watching her, admiring her beautiful smile, her twinkling eyes, her pleasing figure...
He was seriously attracted to Tahiri Veila.
I just wander at this pace, who will be the first to make the first move, Jacen or Tahiri...although, my bets are on Tahiri

Oh great, JJD, you've done it now!
Hey val, long time, no read! I haven't really read much of your stuff since Getting Over It. I've read the first few posts and this is great!

Did someone say 'cake'???? I thought of that too, JJD.
And I don't know where that whole primal urge thing came from for Tahiri... it just happened while I was writing.

Great post, Val.
But you called Jacen "Anakin's replacement"?! [face_shocked] Never say that! Anakin can't be "replaced." [face_shocked]
Cake? Where? *goes off looking for a Dairy Queen cake*

“Yeah, kid. Listen to your mother. She knows what she’s talking about,” Han interjected from his comfy seat in the other room.
Leia rolled her eyes. “Well, it would have been nice if you would have listened to that bit of advice a few years ago—darling.”
I love the way you keep the relationship between Leia and Han going, even when the main focus of the story is on Jacen and Tahiri. Those two were definetly the best relationship George Lucas ever created, and I always love the little tidbits you throw in about them! Great job!

Hey, sorry I didn't respond earlier!
Another really great post, val! I can't wait to find out what happens next!
...As long as what happens next doesn't involve shirtless Jacen!

Good grief! Where has this summer gone?! I had so much writing planned, and then my computer decided not to cooperate.  Anyway, thanks for all of your comments and enjoy this next little part.
P.S.--Danny, sorry to disappoint, but no shirtless Jacen this time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Han Solo wasn’t a genius.
At least not by the usual standards, but it didn’t take a genius to see what was right in front of his face. He just wondered if anyone else saw it. Leia was busy worrying about dinner, Luke and Mara were fussing over Ben, and all of Jaina’s attention was solely on the dashing young Colonel Fel. Perhaps, Han thought, I’m the only one who’s noticing the sparks between Jacen and Tahiri. They obviously didn’t realize it themselves.
All evening long the two had tossed coversation back and forth easily between them like they’d been best friends all their lives. Jacen enjoyed the playful teasing from Tahiri and offered it back in stride. Their eyes twinkled as they shared stories of time spent with the refugees and private jokes only they two could understand. It was the most he’d heard Tahiri talk in years and biggest smile he’d ever seen on his son’s face. While he’d never imagined these two would be compatible, seeing them together in action left Han with no doubt.
Jacen was crazy about Tahiri and didn’t even know it.
It was time for a father-son talk.
“That was an excellent meal, Leia,” Tahiri exclaimed, smiling brightly as she rose to help clear the table.
“Thank you, Tahiri. I’m learning. You know the life of a diplomat doesn’t usually leave much time for cooking, but the older I get the more I appreciate the little things in life.”
The young Jedi followed Leia and Jaina into the kitchen, their arms full of dishes, and Han decided to take advantage of the opportunity.
“Hey, Jacen, want to join your old man out on the balcony?”
The strange look on his father’s face told him that this was probably not something to miss, so he pushed back from his chair and followed Han outside leaving Jag with the Skywalkers.
Han strolled casually to the balcony railing and leaned on his elbows staring out into the humid Mon Calamari night. The scent of saltwater wafted under his nose and he breathed in deeply trying to gain the confidence he needed. Having these parent-child chats was something he’d never quite gotten the hang of, especially with Jacen. It seemed they had always been slightly at odds with one another.
Jacen joined him in staring out to sea waiting patiently for his father to speak.
“So, things are going well at the camp?” Han finally asked.
“Yeah, yeah they are. Thanks for asking,” Jacen replied appreciatively.
“Good, good,” Han added before pausing awkwardly again. “And Tahiri seems to be doing better, talking more, smiling more.”
“Yeah, I think so, too. She’s really a neat--kid once you get to know her. I can see why Anakin liked her so much.”
Han had to keep from rolling his eyes when Jacen used the word ‘kid’ again. It was the same phrase he had used before dinner and seemed to be a practiced line, probably one he’d concocted to delude himself. Han had been there before, thinking that because a female was younger meant she wasn’t mature enough for the likes of him.
And now he was married to her.
“Well, it’s great of you to make sure she doesn’t get overlooked. With no other family she could have easily gotten lost in the cracks. Lucky for her you were around. She should be grateful.”
Han hoped his plan would work.
Jacen gazed at his father in disbelief not sure how to take Han’s words. “She doesn’t have to thank me. I wanted to help her. It’s the least she deserves. In fact, it’s been my pleasure to spend time with her. Tahiri’s a great friend—a super…kid.”
Han couldn’t stifle a little chuckle, which garnered another confused expression from Jacen. “Kid?” Han restated. “Son, Tahiri may have been a kid a few years ago, but she’s not one now—or hadn’t you noticed?”
Jacen’s back stiffened and a frown furrowed his brows. “Are you and Jaina in cahoots or something? I seem to remember her asking that same question earlier tonight.”
Han raised an eyebrow. “And I seem to remember your same avoidance of the answer.”
The retort stopped cold on Jacen’s lips as he realized there would be no buzzer to save him this time. Han continued to stare him down—for his own good, of course, and because he secretly enjoyed watching his son squirm just a little.
“Is the question that hard, Jacen?” Han teased good naturedly.
Jacen tried to stare back but finally his shoulders sagged in defeat.
“No, it’s not that hard of a question,” he admitted. “I just—I just don’t know if I’m ready to answer it yet.” His head dropped and he stared down at his feet.
“Fair enough,” Han said easing up on the boy. “I think I understand how you’re feeling.”
Jacen snorted. “Oh, yeah?”
Han gave him a stern fatherly glare and said, “Oh, yeah.”
“Mind filling me in then? My brain hurts from thinking about it.”
“All right,” Han replied slapping Jacen on the back and then heading for a lounge chair. “Sit down.” Jacen sat down across from his father and felt like he was ten again.
“You miss your brother.”
“Um, yeah, of course,” Jacen agreed.
“Tahiri was important to your brother so you felt an obligation to help her out. Right?”
“Okay.”
“The problem is that you didn’t intend for it to go quite so well. Now you find you kind of like her for more than a friend, but you feel guilty about it…like you’re betraying your brother somehow. Is that it?”
Jacen stared wide-eyed with mouth agape at Han, who upon Jacen’s stunned silent response was certain he’d hit the nail on the head.
“How did you--?” Jacen stammered.
“Hey, I may not be as smart as your mother, but I’ve been from one end of the universe to the other. I’ve seen a lot of things, experienced a lot of things. Your old man’s not totally oblivious to what’s going on around him, you know.” Han leaned back, his hands behind his head and legs crossed at the ankles looking every bit a scoundrel and a rogue.
Jacen smiled and shook his head. “You do manage to surprise me from time to time,” he added teasingly. Soon the smile was gone replaced by a more serious expression. “I just don’t know what to do. I started out thinking I was going to be this wonderful ‘mentor’ for her, someone to guide her out of her depression over Anakin. Only somewhere along the line, she’s become more than just a ‘mission’ to me…more than just a friend, only I’m not exactly sure what. But you’re right. I feel guilty for having these feelings about her.”
Jacen paused and scooted his chair closer to Han’s. He leaned in close and lowered his voice before continuing. “Can I tell you something private that I’ve never told anyone else?”
Han perked up and sat up straighter in his chair. “Sure, kid.” He wasn’t usually the one his children shared secrets with, so this was a big deal.
Jacen took a deep breath and then looked around to make sure no one else was nearby. “On Myrkr with the strike team, Anakin told me something that I’ve never told anyone else. Not because I was trying to hide it. Actually, I had just forgotten about it until several weeks ago. Right before he died,” Jacen paused to recover from the emotional crack in his voice, “he told me to kiss her for him … to ‘take’ Tahiri.”
Jacen stopped and waited for Han’s reply. The older Solo merely stared at his son, nodding his head slightly and pursing his lips together in contemplation. After several moments, Jacen grew impatient. “Dad? Do you have anything to say?”
“Yeah…yeah,” Han said slowly. “So, what you’re telling me is that Anakin gave you his girlfriend?”
“Dad! It sounds so creepy when you put it that way.” Jacen paused before adding, “Do you think that’s really what he meant? I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out if he intended me to give her a goodbye kiss for him and just see that she’s taken care of, or if…if he really hoped--- you know. What do you think?” He suddenly felt very uncomfortable sitting there in the darkness of the balcony bearing his soul to his father, whom he’d never been very close to.
Time changes everything, he thought to himself.
Han studied his son’s shadowed profile gazing up at the Mon Calamari night sky filled with millions of twinkling stars. How easy life had been years ago, before the Empire, before the Vong, before kids. He chuckled softly to himself not wanting Jacen to think he was taking this problem lightly. Anakin’s death had dealt them all a heavy blow.
“Well, Jacen, seems to me you’ve got a few different options.”
Jacen glanced back at his father waiting expectantly for the advice.
Han explained. “You could tell her how you feel and see how she responds. Or you could just keep going on like you have been, not saying anything to Tahiri and ignoring your feelings, playing it safe.”
“What’s the third option?” Jacen questioned.
Han grinned that Solo grin and said, “Or you could kidnap her, take her to some savage, god-forsaken planet and make her marry you.”
It only took a second for Jacen to know exactly what his dad was referring to and he couldn’t keep from laughing out loud. “I don’t think I have that much nerve,” he joked.
“Nah, you’re not that stupid, Jacen,” Han added playfully. “Anyway, the way I see it, it’s either tell her now or tell her later… but you’ll eventually have to tell her no matter what. These types of feelings never stay hidden for long. And even though she’s not a kid anymore, she’s still young, so be careful with her emotions. Females are a whole different breed, son.”
After a few moments of quiet, the two men stood and looked each other in the eye.
“Thanks, Dad,” Jacen finally said.
“No problem, kid. It’s what I’m here for,” Han replied offering Jacen a manly slap on the back. “Now let’s go see what’s for dessert. I’m kind of enjoying your mom’s new interest in cooking, believe it or not.”
Jacen chuckled. “I think I’ll stay out here for a few more minutes…think about those options you shared with me. You know, number three is starting to sound better and better.” He winked at his father and then returned to the balcony rail.
Closing his eyes, he let the cool evening sea breeze blow across his cheeks, tried to clear his mind and just enjoy the feel of the night all around him. As the Force began to flow through his body, he could feel his tensed muscles start to relax and a calm took over.
Maybe things weren’t as crazy as they seemed. Maybe he was making more of Anakin’s words than his brother had intended. Maybe his feelings for Tahiri weren’t anything more than friendship after all and he was simply reading too much into the time they had shared together.
On the other hand, maybe his feelings for Tahiri were genuine and growing stronger with each passing day. Already the thought of spending a day without seeing her filled him with an unexplainable anxiety.
Suddenly, a devastating thought sprung into his mind. Even if his feelings were real and he told her about them, what if she didn’t feel the same? The calm instantly fled leaving Jacen with more anxiety than ever.
“Jacen?”

Those were all such great post, Tahiri and that old woman were so funny, like she didn't know Jacen was like, 80 years younger then her! 
And I really like all the little Han and Leia moments you put in, so sweet. Han and Jacen finnaly talked, Tahiri has admitted to herself that she is attracted to Jacen, and now you end it right there! [face_shocked] what a place to stop a post! A cliffie! You better post some more really really soon!

Oh my gunness, that was PERFECT! Han and Jacen were so cute! I liked Han's perceptiveness and the fact that though they never had much in common in the past, they seem to be opening up to each other.
Jacen was crazy about Tahiri and didn’t even know it.
And I loved the end! You're setting us up for a whopper post, aren't you?
Is it too soon to ask for more?
