Hey now, Padawan! What're you doing to Han? He's my favorite non-Jedi!  You'd better fix this! 
But I love the story!

Master: Han here says "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll be alright"
My writing is progressing at a good pace, so I'll release Chapter V. It is a bit longer than the others, but I didn't find a suitable place to break it. Ladies and Gentlemen, finally, The Blood is coming...
**************************TISSUE WARNING******************************
V. The Blood of a Jedi
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was talking to the chief physician in the Jedi medical facility.
“So, Doctor, have you identified the poison?” Anxiety was plain in the old Jedi face.
“Yes, Master Skywalker, we have.” The physician sighted. “The venom is in the databank but...” Dr. Smithe gave the Jedi Master a sad look.
“But?”
“There is no antidote.”
* * *
“Leia, we should talk” Luke whispered, calling her attention. The Princess slowly turned her head to his brother. She was sitting at her husband’s bedside, taking his hand. Their son Jacen was standing at the other side, applying to his father every Jedi healing technique he ever heard of.
Luke guided his sister to another room, where they could talk in private.
Leia Organa looked into his brother’s blue eyes.
“This is it, Luke, isn’t it?” she asked, already knowing the answer. Luke’s eyes were full of tears. He nodded.
/There is no antidote. / He said through the Force, unable to speak aloud the condemning words. The Jedi Master sensed her growing pain, much like his own.
/How long? / She asked.
/A couple of hours, at most /
/Will he awake again? /
/No./
For a moment, neither of them spoke. But suddenly, the Princess started to cry with great sobs. Her brother hugged her, tears starting to fall down his own cheeks.
“It’s not fair!” she said, her face buried into her brother’s chest. “I... I have...to say...goodbye!” Leia said between sobs, “I have to!”
Images and feelings penetrated Luke’s mind like projectiles. Alderaan’s blowing. An echo of her son’s death. Chewie’s Memorial in Kashyyyk. He absorbed everything, trying to soothe her sister.
“I never got the chance to say goodbye to Anakin, or to my father, or to Chewie! It is not fair!” she kept shouting.
Luke held her tighter. If there were only a way...
* * *
Mara Jade Skywalker was waiting for her husband outside the room where he was talking with his sister. She could sense through the bond with him his grief. There was nothing she could do at the time to comfort him and that was not an easy thing for her to accept.
An hour had passed since Leia’s cry alerted any Jedi around. While the others rushed to the medic wing with Solo, she took care of the assailant. With the aid of a few padawans she had moved him to a secure room. He had been unarmed with the exception of the dart-throwing weapon. He awoke a few minutes later, but his speech was a mixture of basic and alderaanian not fully coherent and the medic droid had sedated him.
The door opened. Luke and Leia came out, their eyes rimmed with red. Mara sprang to her feet but the Princess barely acknowledged her presence and continued to the room where Han laid. The red-haired Jedi took his husband’s hand and forced him to sit beside her.
/How bad is it? / She asked.
/He’s not going to make it, love/ he sighted quietly.
“Sithspit!” Jade cursed and squeezed his knee empathetically.
They sat silently for a while.
Mara’s commlink cracked. “Master, there is an incoming call for you” her padawan said. “Put it through” she ordered. “Aunt Mara, any news?” It was Jaina. “You better come here right now, girl,” the elder woman said without preamble. Jaina was already in an x-wing and ready to jump into hyperspace.
She had contacted Jaina as soon as she could and broke the news to her, but of course she already knew something awful had happened. She was supposed to arrive the next day with her family, for the life-day party, but that would be too late.
After Mara Jade closed the transmission, her attention went back to her husband. He was leaning to the wall, eyes closed, repeating a focusing exercise. She didn’t want to sneak into his thoughts but she could feel that something else was troubling him, beside the natural grief of the situation. They had lost many friends during the war, even their nephew, but she had never seen her husband so anguished by someone’s death.
/What’s up, Luke? / She asked. /He’s old, he’s ill, he’ll go saving Leia again... What else could be best for him? We’ll miss him but... / the last statement was unexpected, but, strangely enough, Mara Jade realized it was true. /You know this is not the end, don’t you?/
Luke Skywalker opened his eyes and looked into hers.
/No, I don’t know, Mara/
/But...you talked to your father and to Ben Kenobi after they died, right? /
/Yes, love. But they were Jedi, force- sensitives, / he reasoned, / not... normal people like Han/
Mara Jade’s green eyes dilated at the implications of her husband’s suggestion.
/I have an idea, / Luke kept saying, / but I don’t know if it’s going to work, or if it’s right to do it. / He opened his thoughts to Mara.
/Search your feelings, my love, / she answered after a while, /you always chose the right thing to do. /
* * *
“Doctor, I need you to tell me exactly what’s happening in Han’s body.”
Luke Skywalker was speaking to Dr. Smithe again. It was a strange request, the physician thought. But in the years he’d been practicing his profession between the Jedi, he became used to strange requests.
“It is a slow action poison. It is a synthetic form of the venom of a very common insect in the Outer Rim. This insect paralyzes its victims with the poison, but it actually doesn’t kill them. Then, it injects the paralyzed bug with its eggs. When the larvae hatch, they fed from their still alive host. Of course, no insects are involved here.” The doctor dismissed the idea waving his hands. “But Captain Solo was given a massive dosage of the venom. His senses were affected first. He’s permanently blind and deaf. He can’t feel anything. I could perform a major surgery upon him without any anesthetics. Of course he is also completely paralyzed. There is no turning back to these effects, I’m afraid. We’re assisting his breath mechanically and giving him fluids and nutrients. But because of his age and his previous health status, there is a high probability that his organs will start to fail soon.”
“What about his mind?” Luke asked.
“Oh, he’d probably be pretty conscious if it weren’t for the drugs I’m giving him.”
The Jedi Master seemed to ponder something for a while. Eventually, he made up his mind.
“He needs a blood transfusion.” Luke Skywalker stated.
“What?” Dr. Smithe was confused. “I’m sorry, Master Skywalker, but that won’t help him”
“Not any blood,” the blue-eyed Jedi said softly “my blood.”

Oh that blood! 
Great update Goldie.
I wanted to cry along with Leia and Luke.
Poor Leia. She wouldn't be able to say goodbye, just like the others.
Ok. Now I am starting to cry. Thanks a lot. 
Can't wait to see what Luke's blood does for Han.
Thanks for the PM. Keep 'em coming ok?

Hmmmm.... Now, what will that influx of midichlorians do to Han?  I'm still worried, but more hopeful!

I think there'll be an incompatibility problem, but if it's just so Han can say goodbye. *sniff* At least he's going out as an old man saving his wife.

This should be interesting... What will Luke's blood do, and how much will be needed? I'd think lots of blood would be needed to flush out the poison. Physicians out there (LadyPadme, perhaps?), do you have any theories on this?
Aside from the spelling being a bit off, this is an excellent story. I don't recall reading anything with Han & Leia being elderly. Seeing their love flourishing still is wonderful and should give hope to all of us that we can do the same.

Lola 64: Glad you liked it . Sorry for the crying.
HanSolo29: I'll see what I can do... 
VaderLVR64: Hope is a wonderful thing. 
RebelMom: What would the compatibility problem be?
dm1: What did I misspell?  And regarding your questions, I think I have them covered (later in the fic). But nevertheless, this is the GFFA, so, if normal physic laws don't apply, why should biology be the same?
ccp: You do? 
Thank you for reading!
