 Jag shacked up with a girl who removes her freckles?
 Nuh-uh.
*points to the nearest airlock* Yes, our facial suite is just that way, Miss Ralene. PMSL! That was hilarious Cyn.
Loved Jag's introspection here, you know that he'd feel like almighty shavit for doing it. Nice.
And Jania and Jag with the next post.
*does happy dance*

Update - Wahoo! 
Glad to see Jag listened to my shpeal. And I only sorta feel bad for Ralene. Well, no, I guess I really do feel bad for her. In her mind, she undoubtedly though he would grow to love her, if he didn't already. He had made those overtures. He might not have literally cheated, but sometimes lusting in your heart is the same thing. Yeah, she has plenty to lament over. Poor thing.
Wait. This poor thing... wears jewels the size of small planets and is conceited enough to remove her freckles...
*blink*
Nope - all sympathy just went out the airlock. Sorry. 
Ok, moving on, Jag dear. (Heartbroken, aren't I?!  ) Moving on to better things. Bring on a beautiful reunion!! 
Sorry I was so late posting a reply. Excited for the next update!

I just happened upon your story and had to tell you how great it is! From Zekk and Jaina's marriage to the aftermath of his death your characters are very real and very moving. I love how Jag and Jaina are spending time together and i do not feel sorry for his fiance at all...she should have known Jag didn't love her if he waited this long to mary her and she should have seen this coming! YAY for Jaina and Jag in the next chapter  if you have a PM list please add me!
I look forward to reading the rest....new post soon?

Two Months Later, 46 ABY
“How long will you be on Kuan?”
Jaina looked up at her mother and shrugged, and then she turned away back to the closet. As she pulled another one of Hope’s better dresses out, she glanced at it, but decided to put it back and pull another. After inspecting it and deciding that it would be appropriate, she turned back and said to her mother, “I don’t know. Mic said that he’s fine with me taking as long as I want. Besides, Uncle Luke sending Tahiri and Valin to help him came at perfect timing.”
Leia nodded as she picked up one of Hope’s play jumpsuits. As she looked at it, she commented, “I’m surprised that you’re taking Hope. You know your father and I would love to have her.”
Jaina finished packing one of the few frilly dresses her daughter possessed. Glancing at her mother she responded, “Jag wants me to bring Hope.” Then she smiled and said, “It seems that they’ve become buddies.”
Leia returned the play outfit to the growing pile of clothes and returned Jaina’s smile, but as she spoke it turned into a smirk. “Yes, she’s told us. She’s also convinced he’s to be her new daddy.”
Jaina twisted away from her mother and pretended to rearrange the various items on the small dresser beside her daughter’s bed. “I’ll have to speak to her about that. But Jag is only a friend. That’s all he can ever be.”
“Jaina…” Leia reached out to gently touch her arm. “He’s no longer attached…and neither are you.”
“Mom, I know Jag may want more, but I can’t give it to him.” Then she turned and looked at her mother with sadness. “It would be wrong.”
“Wrong?” Leia repeated as she regarded her daughter with sad understanding. “You think it would be wrong for you and Jag to finally be together because of Zekk.”
“Yes.” Jaina moved away from Leia and crossed to the closet again. Without looking at her, Jaina went on, “I can’t help but feel that, to finally let my love for Jag surface, I’m somehow dishonoring Zekk. He…he lived so long with sharing me with Jag, if not physically, emotionally.” She turned and added, “I feel as if I let myself love Jag, I’ve was just waiting until something happened to him so I could be with Jag.”
Leia sat on the edge of Hope’s small bed and stared up at Jaina. Finally, she said, “Jaina, I don’t think that, nor would anyone else, if they knew, or suspected your earlier—confusion. And I know with every feeling that I have that Zekk would never think that.” Jaina looked over her shoulder, and Leia gave her a small sad smile and added, “In fact, if he could, I think he’d want you to be with Jag—Just as Jag wanted you to be with Zekk if he couldn’t have you. They had become quite close. You know that.”
Jaina stared at her mother with suspicion. “What do you mean by saying Jag wanted me with Zekk?”
Leia swallowed and paused a moment as if she was measuring her reply. “He never told.”
“Told me what?” Jaina took a step closer. “Mom, what is this about?”
Calmly, Leia patted the space beside her on the single bed. “Come, sit.” Jaina narrowed her eyes, but did as her mother asked. After Jaina sat rigidly on the edge, Leia looked down at her folded hands in her lap before speaking. “I wasn’t supposed to hear their conversation. It was right after Jac—right after Caedus’s funeral,” her voice hitched at the mention of the Sith that had been her son. Leia took a deep breath and then looked at Jaina. “I think it was when Jag was contacted by his father about going back to the Remnant. Anyway, he and Zekk were talking about you.”
Jaina tried to grin, but it somehow was lost. “Not unusual, they usually talked about me.”
“Not like this. Jaina, Jag knew you wouldn’t go with him. But he was worried about you. He asked Zekk to watch out for you and to take care of you.” Jaina bristled and Leia quickly went on, “Jaina, Jag asked Zekk to pursue you.” At Jaina’s questioning expression, she smiled and added, “He told Zekk to love you, Jaina. That’s why I think Zekk wouldn’t mind you going to Jag now.”
Jaina stared at her mother for a long minute. Then she turned away and softly said, “I never knew. Zekk never told me. But now I understand why he tolerated my feelings for Jag for so long.” She gazed back at her mother, tears in her eyes and longing in her eyes. “Mom, I loved Zekk. But I loved Jag, too. I don’t know how such things are possible, but I did. Maybe they realized it, too.”
Leia smiled and pulled Jaina into her arms, then whispered in her hair, “I think they knew that they both loved you, as well, and finally realized that they weren’t really in competition for your feelings, because you did love them both. The hard part would be if you ever decided to make a choice. But when Jag chose to follow his dreams, he helped you make your choice. Now Zekk’s gone. It’s been a year, Jaina, over a year. No one would ever question your motives, if something happens between you and Jag. You’ve mourned long enough, and I know Zekk would think the same.” She moved to meet Jaina’s eyes and smiled, “He only ever wanted you to be happy.”
~~~
Three Days Later
Jaina still wasn’t sure what she was going to do, but, as she watched the city of Vissaary come into view from the cockpit viewport of the skiff her parents had given her when she came to the Empire, she felt an excitement that she never expected to feel.
The sound of her communit brought her out of her thoughts as it buzzed for attention. She answered it and, to her surprise, was instantly given coordinates for the Chateau Vissa-Fel.
“Mommy, we aren’t landing?” Hope said from where she sat in the co-pilot’s chair strapped into a child’s seat Han had fashioned for her, when Jaina deftly pulled away from the capitol. “I thought Uncle Jag was waiting for us.”
Jaina smiled over at her and at the endearment she started calling Jag all on her own during his last visit to Bastion almost a month ago. It was during that visit that he invited her to Kuan. She had finally relented in accepting the invitation because Hope insisted that she wanted to see her Uncle Jag at his home. Jaina enjoyed seeing Hope become close to Jag, she needed a father-figure, and Jag was perfect for the job. The question became— was Jaina ready for him to become more in their lives than just her friend.
“Well, ‘Uncle’ Jag wants us to go directly to his house. He’s waiting there.”
“Oh!” the little girl bounced in her seat. Smiling, she crooned, “He told me that he had ducks there.” Hope loved the Naboo Ducks at the Gardens and zoo back home on Bastion.
Jaina glanced again at her as she took the skiff out over the calm waters of the sea and glided up the coast. She could understand why Jag would fall in love with this planet. It was breathtakingly beautiful. She said in response to Hope’s comment, “He does? He told me that he didn’t have any animals. That…” Suddenly she stopped. He had told her during their month together that he didn’t have any animals, when she jokingly asked if he had animals on his “farm”, because Ralene didn’t want any around to spoil the gardens or the house.
“Yep. He told me the last time we talked on the comlink. He just got them, though. Said that he decided the pond could use some. He also told me that he had some fun places he’d like to show me inside his house. And we can go swimming in the sea...”
Jaina smiled as Hope chatted on, but she suddenly felt a pang of sadness despite her own growing excitement. She knew she was headed into a media storm, not only an emotional one. The news of Jag’s sudden breakup with one of the wealthiest heiresses in the Empire after a four-year engagement hit the HoloNet only days after him arriving back in Vissaary. Fortunately, Ralene was keeping her reasons for leaving Jag out of the media, probably to save her own pride, but holos of Jaina and Jag had popped in more than one place—them holding hands in the Pellaeon Gardens, them seen leaving a restaurant the last time he was on Bastion, there was even one of him and Hope feeding the ducks. She was sure they were being leaked out by Ralene or her spy she had hired.
Jaina about flew into a rage when Jag finally told her about that. It irritated her that she had been so distracted by Jag that she hadn’t sensed the investigator. Some Jedi Master she was, she thought cynically.
Suddenly, her comm beeped again. She answered it and was surprised by the voice that met her ears. “Hello, Jaina.”
Hope instantly gushed in the way only a little girl could. Sometimes Jaina wondered if she was her child. “Uncle Jag!”
“Hope? You in the cockpit with your mommy?”
Jaina laughed and replied, “’Course she is. She’s my co-pilot.”
She could hear the smile in his voice as he said, “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. She is your daughter.”
“How much farther?” Hope asked before her mother could respond. Hope’s joy and excitement flooded the Force as she continued to bounce in the seat.
“Not far, sweetheart. I see that you’re over the sea on the scanner. Jaina, go a little farther out and then swing back to the coordinates I’m sending you. That’s the best way to see the castle. That’s how I saw it the first time.”
“Okay. Got'em. We'll see you in a bit.”
“I’ll be waiting,” Jag said in a tone that told Jaina that he’d wait forever for her.

And it begins.......

It begins! Yay!
This is so sweet. I wonder if Jag will tell her how Zekk came to him as a ghost? Glad Leia shared. It's time Jaina: Embrace your destiny!

I think they need to invent a *melt* little face-doohick for this story because I would be clickin' on that thing nonstop!
Oh well, this  plus this is as close as I can get.
Great job, Flowerlady! I'm most definitely looking forward to the next post!

I agree with angry_bendu. That line definitely made me melt.
P.S. Not sure I've replied to this story yet. It's been an interesting journey for Jaina. Nice job.
