	Oh Han... that probably wasn't the best response to a reporter! sighs - Han is going to need people to trust him and think he is responsible if he wants to open up an orphanage, and not think he is some gun-toting hot-head! Oh, Han, Han, Han!

	Hey. I'm probably not going to post here anymore, since it seems as if all my readers are just responding over at HSP. If anyone is reading here and wants me to keep posting, let me know. Otherwise I'll just be posting on Han Solo and the Princess. GreatOne - Yeah, that wasn't the smartest thing for him to do. We'll just see what happens... ******************************************************* Chapter 27 As soon as they got back to the apartment, Leia flicked on the holovision. She turned it to one of the less reputable channels, sat down on the couch with her hands behind her head, and waited for the chaos to begin. Her husband had not quite yet grasped the concept of having a public image, and she thought that this would definitely be a wake-up call for him. The screen flashed, and a humanoid female with scaly skin and green hair appeared. “We have just received news that General Han Solo, husband of Senator Leia Organa Solo, has threatened one of our reporters.” The screen then flashed to the image of Han shouting at the reporter, pulling his blaster out, and pointing it directly forward. He was scowling at the camera, and as he put his finger on the trigger the screen went black. A second later the anchorwoman appeared on the screen again and she looked ahead seriously. “It was reported that Solo’s violent behavior stemmed directly from claims that his wife was pregnant. Though we do not know for sure the reason this would have such an adverse affect on his conduct, it can be speculated that he may not be the father of the child.” “In similar news, the claims that Senator Organa Solo is pregnant have been verified. When approached earlier today by the same reporter who was attacked by General Solo, she revealed the truth.” An image of Leia popped up on the screen; she looked annoyed yet dignified. Her stance was in complete contrast to her husband’s. “Senator Organa Solo, can you verify claims that you are pregnant? What are your feelings?” “I did not want to be approached in this manner,” Leia began. “However, the claims are, in fact, true. My husband and I are both very excited, and wish that the press would leave us in peace.” “Senator, can you explain your husband’s violent behavior earlier? Has there been a disagreement? Or is it something more?” “I have no idea what you’re talking about. My husband is possibly even more excited than I am about the pregnancy. You must have your information wrong, or have your issues mixed up. Now, I would appreciate it if you left us alone, as we have business to attend to,” Leia said as she turned toward Chewie and Luke. Chewie bared his fangs at the camera, and the screen went black again. The anchorwoman spoke again. “We can only guess on what the situation is between the Senator and General. All we know is what you have just seen.” The news turned to a different topic, and Leia turned the holovision off. “So, Han, now do you know that what you did was stupid? Because of this, we’re going to have to make a public statement explaining what you did and that we aren’t having marital problems. You’re going to have to learn how to control your anger in public, especially after you open up the agency.” “Okay, okay, you’re right. But, what am I supposed to do, be nice to the jerk?” Han asked. “Yes! When a reporter is asking you questions, they are recording you. That means that they’re going to put it out to the public, and you need to be on your best behavior.” Han rolled his eyes in response, and Leia turned to Chewie. “Well, Chewie, now that we’ve taught laserbrains a lesson, or at least attempted to, why don’t we go see your family? I haven’t seen them since our wedding.” Chewie growled in response, and they headed out the door again. This time, a barrage of reporters and cameras met them outside. -----signature----- "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs "And, if I am in fact meeting with George Lucas, I have my Boba Fett T-shirt." - Seth Cohen H/L fics in bio

	Sorry I didn't respond to your last post, I was in the process of heading home from college for Easter. Anyway, Han definitely did make a mistake by pulling his blaster on those reporters. I have a feeling that the tabloids won't leave them alone for a long time since they surrounded them again as soon as they opened the door. But, I can't wait to see them meet up with Chewie's family--that is, if they ever escape from the reporters. About posting over at the HSP boards, do what you wish. Now that I have been informed that they exist, it shouldn't be a problem to check it out there eventhough I frequent these boards more. -----signature----- "One little spark of inspiration is at the heart of all creation."

	Great post! Now they have LOTS of reporters waiting for them, thanks to Han! LOL! As far as where to post, well, I read both places, but for some reason I don't have as many problems posting on this site. Over at HSP it gives me "error" responses a lot. But wherever you post your story, I will be reading!

	Okay, everyone, I'll still post here. The only reason I was considering not posting here anymore was because I seem to have a problem with these boards, so I thought that if everyone was reading over at HSP anyway there was no reason for me to post here. HanSolo29 - No problem with not replying to my last post. Yes, Han didn't exactly make the right move with that reporter - now he's going to have lots more to deal with. They'll meet up with Chewie's family...at some point. GreatOne - Thank you! Yup, and he thought that one reporter was bad! That's interesting that you have more problems at HSP than here - the opposite's true for me. Sologirl - Thank you as well!

PrincessDaisy2 Registered: Mar '04	Date Posted: 4/12/04 8:15pm Subject: RE: Rags to Riches - Starring Han and Leia, Updated 4/12
	Okay, this chapter is a little weird since I changed some things around in the middle of writing it, but hopefully you guys think it's all right. ******************************************************* Chapter 28 Leia sighed and pushed Han ahead so that he was standing in front of the cameras. “Explain yourself, Han,” Leia said, exasperated. “Oh, all right. But you owe me one,” Han said before turning toward the blinding lights. Jeez, you’d think that they would have developed better technology by now, Han thought. “Hey,” Han started. “What you saw earlier wasn’t really accurate. I mean, the guy just pushed up and got in my face and started asking questions that he had no business asking. It wasn’t my fault…” Leia elbowed him. “Oh, all right. What I did was stupid. I should’a just answered the question, but I resorted to threats instead. I’m sorry.” “General Solo – what comments do you have on the state of your marriage? Is it true that it’s falling apart?” one reporter asked. “No, absolutely not,” he said as he wrapped an arm around Leia’s shoulders. “In fact, it’s better than ever. Leia and me are both really excited to have a baby.” A reporter with a high-pitched, nasally voice stepped forward. “General Solo, how can we be certain that you are telling the truth? How do you even know that it’s your baby?” “Hey, don’t you be bringing Leia into this. What I did to the reporter was my mistake, not hers. Leia is the most caring and faithful woman in the galaxy, and anyone who knows her, or even knows of her would know that,” Han said as his stance became stiff. His face was getting progressively redder. “General Solo,” another reporter said, “you never answered his question. How can we be certain that you are telling the truth? You just threatened a reporter a little while ago for asking about your wife’s pregnancy. What would make you do that, other than acrimony toward her condition?” Han responded through gritted teeth. “I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that my wife is having my child. I would have no reason to lie about something like this, and I would be making it pretty obvious if my wife ever betrayed me, which she never will. I said those things to the reporter because I wanted my wife to have her privacy. I thought that she should be able to tell the public about her pregnancy whenever she wanted, and not have everyone find out this way. Obviously, I was wrong, and I’ll never to it again.” “Senator Organa Solo,” a young, female reporter said, inching even closer to the couple. “Can you verify what your husband has said?” “Yes. Everything that he said was true,” Leia said, and they began to go inside the apartment. “One second, General Solo!” a fresh-faced boy said, rushing up to them. “Is it true that you were going to open an adoption agency?” Han nodded. “Are you still going to open it, now that you have discovered your wife’s infidelity?” Han could not believe what he had just heard. Was this kid seriously asking him this question? Either the boy was having major hearing issues, or he was just plain stupid. Han rose to his full height and began walking toward him, right hand on hip. The boy backed away slowly, eyes wide. Han stopped walking, and stared at the quivering boy in amazement. “Kid, that has to be the dumbest question I’ve ever heard in my entire life, and I’ve been from one side of the galaxy to the other,” Han said before breaking out into hysterical laughter. Leia, Luke, Chewie, Lando, and the reporters could not believe that Han hadn’t punched the young reporter. His laughter was even more puzzling. As Han sunk down to the floor, clutching his stomach, Leia grabbed his arm and pulled him inside. As soon as her husband was safely within their apartment, Leia turned to the reporters. “That will be all. I can assure you that I have never been with anyone besides my husband, and any claims to the contrary are completely unfounded. I would appreciate it if you left us alone, and stopped trying to tarnish our happiness with outrageous allegations.” With that, Leia shut the door. -----signature----- "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs "And, if I am in fact meeting with George Lucas, I have my Boba Fett T-shirt." - Seth Cohen H/L fics in bio

	I replied on the other site, so I will say this - Han had better get used to reporters since he will be the husband of the future President! (I don't think she is President yet in this story, right?)

	At least Han handled this encounter reasonably and didn't blow up at them again. And now I think it's Leia that needs to take some lessons from Han--afterall, she did shut the door in their faces.

	Note: I probably won't post again until Monday, because I'll be gone from Thursday through Sunday, and might not have access to a computer. GreatOne - To answer your question, no, she's not the President yet. I agree, though, Han had better learn how to behave himself by then! HanSolo29 - Thanks! Yes, Leia isn't exactly being Ms. Diplomatic, now, is she? ******************************************************* Chapter 29 Once everyone was safely within the apartment, Leia looked at Han incredulously. “Han, what just happened out there?” Han, still recovering from his laughing attack, grinned up at his wife. “I just thought that what the kid said was hilarious. Are people really that stupid?” Leia smiled. “Well, some reporters can definitely have hard heads…like certain Corellians,” she joked as she ducked the pillow thrown by her husband. “People just like gossip, and with the war over and not much to report on the news, these people are going to be reaching for any stories they can find. This isn’t going to be the last time they come after us, you know.” “Yeah. Do you think the kids will have a tough time with it?” Leia looked thoughtful for a minute, and then answered, “Maybe…at first. I think after a while people won’t care all that much – unless they’re like their father and go around threatening people, that is.” “That would be good. I think reporters need to be threatened more often – it makes life more interesting.” “I seriously hope you’re kidding.” “Yes, I’m kidding. Well, about our kids doing it, that is. It would be funny if other people threatened reporters, though.” “Well, that’s fine,” Leia agreed and gave Han a quick kiss before turning to Chewie. “Chewie, why don’t you have Malla and Lumpy come over here? I think we’ll have a hard time making it over to them now.” Chewie nodded and went over to the com to talk to his wife and son. Luke and Lando, deciding that the coast was clear, came over to Han and Leia. “I’m glad you didn’t punch that kid, Han. That would have been really bad for when you open the agency. Not that any of this is good,” Lando said. “Thanks, Lando. I guess,” Han grumbled. Luke was about to say something, when they heard someone at the door. Han looked at the screen, and groaned loudly when he saw who it was. “Don’t let them in. Whatever you do, don’t let them in.” “Han!” Leia berated. “Of course I’ll let them in!” Leia slid the door open, and in walked (and rolled) See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo. “Why, Mistress Leia, I have heard the most interesting information on my journey from the Senate! Is it true that you are pregnant?” “Yes, Threepio, it’s true,” she replied. “Well, congratulations, Your Highness! I will be sure to update my programming to include the best childcare techniques. And Artoo will do…something.” Artoo, feeling insulted, whistled something to Threepio that basically stated that a child would rather be jettisoned out of a ship’s garbage chute than be in his care. “Why, you outdated pile of spare parts! As if you have the ability to care for a child!” Artoo beeped in affirmation. “You would not last one minute watching a child! They would…” Threepio managed before Leia cut him off. “Thank you very much for offering, Threepio, but you don’t have to update your programming. I think Han and I can manage,” Leia said. “But, Mistress Leia…” “Goldenrod, there’s no way in hell I’m going to let you take care of my kid,” Han proclaimed. “Is it your child, Sir? I heard that someone else had fathered the child.” “Threepio!” Han bellowed. “One of these days…” “It is your child, Captain Solo? Maybe my circuits are malfunctioning. I was certain that I had heard that you were not the father.” Han rolled his eyes and turned to Leia. “I told you not to let them in, Sweetheart.” Leia ignored the comment, deciding to help out the confused protocol droid. “Yes, Threepio, Han is the father. The information that you heard was wrong.” “Why, it seems rather indecorous for the news to provide false information.” “Yes, it is,” Leia agreed. With that, Threepio wandered off, confused, and Artoo rolled over to see Luke. A moment later, they heard the door chime again. Han looked over, and smiled broadly when he saw the familiar faces of Lumpy and Malla on the screen. He slid open the door, and was engulfed by two pairs of hairy Wookiee arms. “Hey! It’s bad enough when one Wookiee tries to hug me, but I don’t think I can handle two!” Han laughed. “It’s great to see you two again.” Malla held Han back at arm’s length as Lumpy stepped to the side. So, my little Han is finally going to have a cub? You will make a fine father. Malla growled. “Thanks, Malla. Though I don’t think anyone actually believes I’m the father,” Han replied. Malla stared at him, confused. Why would anyone think that you are not the father of your mate’s child? “Well, I, uh, kind of threatened a reporter, and now all the news stations are saying that I did it because I’m not the father of Leia’s baby. I tried to apologize and explain myself, but they just took their original story and ran with it, I think.” You should not listen to what others say about you, cub. No good can come from it. If you are happy, you should not allow others to take away from it. “Yeah, that’s what I’m trying to do. Thanks again, Malla.” Anytime, Han. Han turned to Lumpy, who was trying to pretend like he wasn’t listening to their conversation. Han grinned at the Wookie cub. “So, kiddo, are you happy that you’re going to have a cousin?* Lumpy nodded emphatically. “That’s good. Now you’d better set a good example for him, or else,” Han said mock-seriously. I will do my best, Uncle Han. Lumpy responded. “I’m just kidding, don’t worry,” Han grinned as he moved closer, whispering. “Act your worst around the kid, we don’t want him going soft.” “I heard that, Han!” Leia called from across the room. “How’d she hear that?” Han asked Lumpy, amazed. “You’d be surprised at what I can hear, Han,” Leia said. Malla strode over to Leia to offer her congratulations. I am happy that you are having Han’s child, Princess. I have never seen him happier than he is right now. Since you came into his life, there is a light in his eyes that was never there before. Leia hugged Malla tightly, thanking her. Lumpy grinned at the diminutive princess, and said, *Thank you for giving me a cousin to play with, Aunt Leia.” “The pleasure’s all mine, little one,” Leia smiled and ruffled his fur. Once all congratulations were given, everyone gathered together for a great feast and celebrated the pregnancy without regard to the lies of the media. -----signature----- "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs "And, if I am in fact meeting with George Lucas, I have my Boba Fett T-shirt." - Seth Cohen H/L fics in bio
