Loved the sparring...just out of curiousity...what kind of martial arts did you base it on? One style in particular, or a mix of all of them?

"So... what are we calling this one?"
Ranko stopped writing and looked at him thoughtfully. "Operation Save The Guy And Stop The Girl From Doing Something Really Dumb?"
Peter paused. "I like it."
Hahah! I love the banter between all of your characters, Daena. Great timing.
And sparring...*le sigh* just another form of foreplay.  (Hope that wasn't bad...never know with the boards.  ) lol

Jade_eyes: Thank you. 
RedGold: Partly… Thank you.
Jedi_Kassandra: It’s a little of everything, really. Thank you for the review.
MirandaFair: Thank you. Glad you liked the sparring thing.
Susan was busy helping to set out party favors for the small party they were having while the menfolk went out and did the bachelor party thing with the groom, when Ranko approached her. “Hi.”
“I think now would be the perfect time to give it to her.”
“Now? Why now?”
Ranko glanced toward where Mara was sitting down and watching Jaina and Jacen play with their toys. “Because if we wait, we’ll have to explain to more than just her.”
“Ah. Good point… Give me a minute.”
Ranko nodded and left Susan to finish her task.
~*~*~*~*~
Mara watched while Jacen and Jaina played quietly with their toys, smiling slightly when Jaina protested because Jacen had taken a block away from her.
“Mara?” a voice asked, hesitantly.
Mara looked away from the twins to see Susan standing there with a package in her hands, and Ranko standing behind her. “What is it?”
Susan came closer and sat down. “Ranko and I spent a while talking about what to get you for a wedding present, and… well, here.”
Mara slowly took the wrapped object from Susan and looked at it. “Why?”
“Don’t ask why,” Ranko told her with a smile. “Just open it… and, besides… if we have to put up with our mother springing something like this on us, then we get to do it for you.”
Mara frowned as she unwrapped the present, then she stared at it. It was a hard-bound book with a purple cover and a design in gold. The design was of a woman holding a baby and sitting in a rocking chair. “It’s beautiful… what’s it for?”
“This is a baby journal,” Susan explained as Mara opened it to find blank pages.
“But I’m not-“
“Not now, no. But someday?”
Mara closed the book and sat there a moment, looking at Susan. “I... Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Susan told her with a smile.

Lovely gift. Now, when Mara uses it, she'll remember Ranko and the gang. Not that she's ever ever likely to forget!!

oh man I fell waaaaaaaaaaay behind on this. I don't even remember how they met these other people. That gift was very.....unusual for a wedding gift. I suppose it works cause once she's pregnant, she'll be back in their normal time on Coruscant or Yavin, right?

Note: It occurs to me that I haven't updated in way, way too long. So... here. Apologies for the DWB-and-new-job-induced delay. Enjoy.
Mara was woken out of an uneasy sleep by a knock at her door in the wee hours of the morning on the day of her wedding. Grumbling, she went to go answer it, only to find her future sister in law and three other familiar people standing there, looking way too perky for 0530. “What is the meaning of this?”
Leia smiled. “We’re here to help you get ready.”
“At 0530?”
“Yes.”
“The wedding isn’t until 1400, Leia.”
Leia chuckled lightly. “Yes, and that means we have plenty of time if we start now.”
Mara glared at her. “Right. You start. I’m going back to bed.”
Leia looked at her companions after Mara closed the door on them. “Think we should have waited another hour?”
“Perhaps,” Amy said with a smirk. “Just be glad Dawn’s a heavy sleeper, or she’d be mad at us too…”
Leia frowned at her. “What?”
Amy just shrugged and smiled.
~*~*~*~*~
When Mara finally woke up on her own two hours later, she was greeted by her Force sense telling her that there was more than one other person in her apartment. Sighing, she sat up.
Dawn, who had been staying with her for the week, came in and handed her a cup of caf. “Sorry about them waking you up like that, Mara.”
Mara took the cup of caf from her and sipped it. “What are they doing here?”
“Leia seems to think you need help getting prepared.”
“Ah.”
Dawn shook her head in amusement. “Come out when you’re ready, though… and I’m really sorry they woke you up like that.”
“It’s fine.”
“Right... they brought a peace offering when they came back. You like pastries, right?”
Mara nodded and Dawn left the room. She took another sip from her cup, and shook her head with a small chuckle.

Leia must think it would take 8 hours for Mara to get ready for her own wedding. Good Post!
