	poor poor Shinar!!! My internet just went bye-bye for the last hour or so! Scary...I still don't know what was wrong with it! I did put my time to good use however, while I was unable to post. I went and wrote 4 pages of a new fanfic from scratch! I should get around to posting it in the next day or two, so look out for it!

	The first post goes to TSL for her mission And the madness begins... JAINA AND JAG – HOMECOMING CHAPTER 1 Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Her lungs burned with the frigid blast of air forced in with each strained breath, adding to the overall ache from a general lack of oxygen. That was not the only place in Jaina that was crying out from overexertion, but she continued on. Her footsteps dug noisily into the packed snow. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. The sound of her feet against the packed snow kept a steady rhythm. She dare not decrease her stride, or she would never make it safely to the estate. He was close behind, catching her with every second. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Jaina dug deep inside herself and fortified her resolve. This was the surest test; she had to make it to the front door, to safety. She had to succeed for the sake of her beautiful baby girl sleeping inside. Jaina had no desire to fail her daughter, to leave her motherless and alone. For Keira’s sake, Jaina continued on when her body wished to fail her. Crunch. Crunch. Her pursuer was closing quickly. A sudden fear swelled up. She was not going to make it. Crunch. Crunch. She was so close; the stairs leading to the front door was only a couple steps away… Crunch. Then the pair of arms tackled her like a vice grip, pulling her feet from the ground, sweeping her off her feet and away from the steps. Jaina let loose a shriek as she felt the crush of her pursuer, pressing her against his solid form. “Jagged Fel, put me down this very instant!” Jag laughed amid the ragged breaths forced by his pursuit. Jaina had been out for an afternoon run, when Jag had met her at the front gate, nearly a thousand feet from the house. When Jaina had sped past without a second glance in a playful game, Jag had taken it upon himself to entertain her mood. Although she felt joy and safety in her husband’s arms, there was some disappointment in herself. Jaina had secretly wished to beat him back, thereby proving she had suitably recovered from her illness and pregnancy. Only when she felt completely healed, and thereby capable of protecting her family, could she entertain thoughts of returning to Naboo. The warm moist press of Jag’s lips to the back of her neck squashed any self-loathing and replaced it with a warm feeling. Jag had set her feet back on the ground at some point, and Jaina twisted within his arms. Gazing up at Jag as he crushed her tightly to him, their bodies heaved against each other from the effort of the chase. The resulting undeniable tension caused the couple to break into uncontrollable laughter. Once they both regained their breath and composure, Jag spoke. “Some welcome, wife of mine. I leave early from work to see how you ladies are making out on your visit from town, and you blow by me at the gate. I was hoping for a little more of a warm reception.” Jaina’s eyes sparkled. “I think you should not be encouraged to sneak away from work, husband of mine. I think my Rebel ways are rubbing off on you a little too much.” Jag grinned. “When you have two beautiful ladies waiting for you it’s hard to keep your focus on work.” Jaina wrapped her arms around Jag’s neck. “How beautiful?” “Beautiful enough to chase from the front gate without benefit of a parka.” It was then that Jaina realized Jag’s teeth were beginning to chatter. She giggled, her body luxuriating in the warmth of her specially designed cold-weather workout suit, then stretched up and pressed her lips to his. In the bond of the kiss, she passed a feeling of general warmth, using the Force to heat his chilled body. Jaina could feel Jag smiling under the kiss, but her concern for Jag’s well-being overrode her body’s hunger for more passion. Jaina broke the kiss, jumping out of Jag’s arms. “Go in the house; I’ll get the speeder.” Jaina turned and sprinted off before her husband could utter a protest. The speeder door was wide open from Jag’s sudden departure. Jaina dropped into the driver’s seat, then smoothed her palms along the steering yoke. She reached under the seat, feeling blindly for the handle to adjust the position forward and back. Once satisfied with her location relative to the controls, Jaina eased the throttle forward. A sudden compulsion overtook her, causing Jaina to flip the speeder into reverse. Without looking over her shoulder, merely using the Force as her guide, Jaina whipped the speeder backwards until it was through the front gates, then spun the yoke hard to the right, forcing the vehicle into a one-eighty spin. Now facing away from the estate, Jaina powered the speeder forward, using an aggressive application of the throttle until she was hurtling along the road toward Fak’ra City. Usually Syal let her drive since giving birth to Keira. Her daughter was always with them, so Jaina always erred on the side of caution. At the moment, Jaina had no such restrictions so she let it all hang out. The winding road worked the natural contours of a nearly sheer cliff wall forged by a glacier that had passed hundreds of years previous. It provided plenty of cut-backs and challenging turns to get Jaina’s blood racing. She kept the throttle at maximum as she neared the entry to a sharp reversing turn accentuated by a decent drop in elevation. At the last possible second, Jaina reversed throttle causing the tail end of the speeder to come around and slide through the turn. A quick adjustment on the repulsors kept the rear quarter panel from hitting the cliff wall. Several corrections on the yoke were necessary to straighten the speeder’s direction before another turn loomed ahead. Jaina enjoyed the exhilaration of flying, spinning, and turning until she reached the bottom of the cliff. Once down, she slowed the speeder to a stop, using the time to catch her breath. A quick glance at the chrono on the dash revealed that her minor detour to the front door had taken fifteen minutes. Jaina had become so consumed by the ride she had lost track of time. Whipping the speeder around on the repulsors, Jaina shrugged her shoulders. “Better do it faster up than down then.” The period spent negotiating the road back up the cliff seemed as timeless as the trip down, so when the front gates loomed ahead, Jaina could not help but frown. She controlled her speed down the driveway, coming to a stop before the front door. Despite her thermoregulating attire, the cold air bit at her as she popped the driver’s door. Jaina sprinted up the steps and burst into the house, rubbing her hands on opposite arms. “Brrrrrrrr.” Syal’s voice called from the living room deeper in the house. “We are in here, Miss Speed Demon.” Jaina walked past the study and along the hall until emerging in the spacious living room, once elegantly decorated, now riddled with infant toys and a brightly colored playpen. Syal smiled up from her chair; Jag was lying at her feet with Keira propped over his head. He bounced the infant gently in his hands, and she gurgled happily. Jag spoke to Jaina, the effects of his movements causing his voice to catch. “I was just showing Keira the difference between atmospheric entries in my clawcraft versus your X-wing.” Jaina crossed her legs and sat next to Jag on the floor. “So which is better?” “Well, your X-wing is more like this.” Jag rocked Keira from side to side. “And mine is more like this.” He bounced her up and down, then pulled Keira down so she was resting on his chest. His daughter instantly worked at lifting her head. Jag turned to face Jaina. “Keira votes for the X-wing’s ride.” “That’s my girl.” Jag grimaced as Keira drooled on his uniform. “I still have time to convince her otherwise. I think I got all the repairs done. You won’t recognize your fighter when you take it up again. I made several modifications I think you will like.” Jaina’s face lit up. “So when can I fly it?” Jag handed Keira over to Jaina and rolled up to sit across from her. “Whenever you want.” Jaina bounced Keira in her lap. “Did you hear that, young lady? Momma’s going to get to fly.” Syal, who had silently listened to the conversation, interrupted with a thought. “I believe you were flying a few minutes ago.” “In the speeder? That was nothing. I mean Jag’s speeder is fast for a land vehicle, but nothing compares to pushing the throttle down in my X-wing.” Syal chuckled. “You two are perfect for each other.” She turned to Jag. “Is your father coming out to the estate as well, Jag?” “No, he had some meetings this afternoon.” “Good, because I wasn’t planning on cooking dinner. I was thinking about taking everyone to that new restaurant once we headed back to town. I do wish the winter season would hurry up and be over so we can stay on the estate again. Visits like this just remind me of how much the townhome is lacking.” Jaina shifted Keira up to her shoulder gently. “Did you get to see your flowers while you watched Keira?” “Yes, Keira and I walked all through the hothouse, talking to the flowers as we went. They just needed some love.” “So we are good to go?” Syal nodded. “Yes, is there an urgent need to get back to the townhome?” Jaina whispered, “No, it’s just that someone fell asleep after all the flying simulations. It might be a good time to go.” Syal jumped out of her chair. “Sounds like a plan.” Jaina handed the sleeping baby to Jag so she could stand. He stared up at his wife. “What’s the rush?” Jaina scooped Keira out of his outstretched hands. “Ride in the speeder with her for half an hour when she decides to scream at the top of her lungs, and then you’ll understand.” Jag furrowed his brows. “It can’t be that bad.” Both women chuckled. “Can it?” Syal eyed Jaina mischievously. “Let’s just say Keira’s Force abilities give new meaning to the word tantrum.” “Oh.” ********** Skip the mayhem and go here for the next post! Reminder, I am only posting Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the first couple of weeks until I get enough written. I had every intention of blasting out all of Chapter 2 this weekend, but you know what I did instead. Hope you all enjoyed!

	ohh...I like the beginning, showing the family interactions that you're so good at Syal calling Jaina Miss Speed Demon really shows how close they've become and a real reflection of Jaina's character that won't change even when she's a mother.
