"We'll discuss this later, Vima." Renna pulled her jumpsuit on the rest of the way, threw an annoyed expression at Vima, and went to find Samir.
For some reason, this part reminded me of Luke and Yoda in ESB.
Love all the family bonding that's going on. And I really like Ben. He's adorable!
Excellent update, Daena!  Thanks so much for the PM!

Sorry for being so late to update this wonderful story. I'm still enjoying it thouroughly.
Widia looked at the holo again, studying it. “He’s right. Senator Amidala does bare a resemblance to Chief of State Organa-Solo.” She was met with silence as Mara and Luke turned to look at one another. “There are some differences here and there, but…”
“Was that what you were trying to figure out?” Luke asked Mara pointedly.
“Well… yes.” Mara took the datapad back from Widia and curiously looked through the data again. “Huh… the date of her funeral correlates to Leia’s official Life Day. Interesting.”
Cool, they've figured out who Luke and Leia's mom is!
Great update!!

LilyHobbitJedi: More or less. Thank you.
Note: Thanks to BrentusofGath for the encourgement on this one.
Mara had to sit down on the grass after twenty minutes to chasing her son around the yard. As she sat there and watched as they continued to play and horse around, she smiled. It was wonderful to see her husband be so carefree for once.
"A flower for your thoughts?" Jaelle's voice asked from beside her as the younger woman sat down.
Mara glanced at her, then turned her attention back to the three men and the child running around in front of them. "Not much to tell."
"Sure there isn't." Jaelle sorted in laughter at Samir being hit with a levitated dirt clod and Luke giving Ben a stern look that the three-year-old laughed at in response. "That... was... I don't know. Quite a revelation you gave us."
"Jaelle, it's over and done. It happened. End of story."
"Mara, I don't believe that for a moment. Yes, it happened, and yes it's over, but that doesn't mean that you are not still bothered by it."
Mara turned to her, and Jaelle saw the pain reflected in her eyes. "I don't want to re-live it."
"Is that what talking about it does?"
"Yes."
"And have you forgiven yourself?"
"Jaelle, it happened five years ago, and I had a man by my side who wouldn't let me not talk about what happened. It was bad, yes, but life... got better. And as much as I am certain you would like to hear all about what gave Renna recurring nightmares... No. I'm not going to tell you."
Jaelle let the silence hang between them before reaching out and pushing a stray strand behind Mara's ear. "I already knew. Before. Renna's not the only one with dreams."
"What?"
"Just what I said... That’s why I was confused about how you could say it didn’t matter like you did."
Mara studied her for a moment, suddenly reminded of something and chuckled slightly.
Jaelle blinked at her, not having expected that reaction. "Huh?"
Mara shook her head with a slight smile. "Just reminded of something. A paralelle, if you will.”
Jaelle glanced at her with a quizzical expression before shrugging. “A paralelle?”
“It’s not important, Jaelle. Not now, at least.” Mara turned her attention back to Ben and the grown men that were playing with him, and laughed when Ben grabbed onto Samir’s leg and refused to let go. “Think we should rescue him?”
Jaelle shook her head, a smile forming on her lips. “No. We really shouldn’t.”
“Didn’t think so, either...” Mara glanced at her and they shared a giggle. Mara patted her knee, and went to rejoin in the fun.
TBC...

Daena, that was a sweet uppie. Loved the talk between Jaelle and Mara. It's amazing that even after such a space between updates, I'm instantly drawn into the warmth and "real-ness" of your OCs, not to mention Mara & Luke who're always adorable  I love seeing Mara and Luke being able to have this time with their extended family--without having to rush off to a crisis.

Note: Thank you again to BrentusofGath for the encouragement and the helping hand.
While Jaelle was in the kitchen putting away the dishes they'd used earlier, Luke came in and leaned against one of the counters. She glanced at him and continued to put dishes away.
He stood there for a long moment before saying anything. "Mara had an interesting theory earlier."
"She did, huh?"
Luke noticed that she didn't look at him again, and had to shrug. "Yes... but I don't know if it's right, or not. All we have right now is vague speculation."
Jaelle put the last dish away and turned to regard him seriously. "And the vague speculation is?"
"It's about my family."
"Your family... What are you trying to say here, Master Skywalker?"
Luke sighed, almost weary at having to explain anything. "Does the Naboo government keep a DNA registry?"
Jaelle narrowed her eyes, wondering where this was leading. "Of course they do. The Old Republic kept one by law, and as a Republic planet, that meant Naboo had to have one as well. It wasn't as well kept during the Rebellion, because a lot of children were born in hiding, but... Why?"
He hesitated before looking at her in the eyes. "I need you to test me."
Jaelle blinked in surprise. Of all things she'd expected from him, that hadn't been one of them. "Why?"
"I want to know if we're right about something."
Jaelle wanted to ask him what the something was, but thought the better of it. She would find out what he meant eventually. "All right. Let me go get what I need to do a test like that, and I'll set it up."
~*~*~*~
"This should go here..." Han sat on the floor and tinkered with the innards of the game table in the lounge area of the Falcon, having taken it apart to get it to work better than it already did.
A beep from the console sounded, drawing his attention away from his project, and he saw the light for the holocomm blinking at him from across the room.
He smiled as Leia appeared on the screen. “Hi.”
Leia smiled back at him. “Hi yourself… Han? Is Luke there with you?”
“No, he’s with Mara at her family’s house.”
Not having expected that, Leia blinked in surprise. “Her family?”
“Yes… why?”
Leia’s eyes seemed to go distant for a moment before she looked at him again. “I… don’t know.”
He grew concerned. He had seen that distant expression before. On Luke. “Leia?”
Leia shook her head and smiled again. “It’s nothing. We’ll be landing in twenty minutes.”
Han nodded, still wondering why she seemed distracted. “Right.”
~*~*~*~
Luke was sitting at the kitchen table when Jaelle returned through the back kitchen door, carrying two bags. "Where did you go?"
"We weren't sure where Alena would be giving birth, so I stashed this stuff at their house just in case." Jaelle set the bags on the table and began removing items.
"You were going to do DNA tests on the baby?"
Jaelle rolled her eyes at him. "No. The government requirement for DNA registry is back in effect." She pulled a piece of equipment out and looked at it, then shook her head and put it back. "Won't be using that one. Not on a Naberrie baby."
"Huh?"
"That one is for implanting a tracking device under the skin. Because Alena is a Naberrie, use of a tracking device... isn't legal. It's a protective measure."
"Oh. Makes sense." Or it would, once he knew what being a Naberrie meant on Naboo...
TBC…

Very interesting...
