	Hann: How many does this make now? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jag Fel was exhausted. He had been out all day flying a scouting mission around Mon Calamari with Kyp Durron, and he wanted nothing more than to hop in the 'fresher, and then fall asleep with his wife in his arms. When he entered their room he found that she had already fallen asleep without him. Carefully, he tiptoed over to the bed and quietly kicked off his boots, lowering himself down onto the bed beside her. One of the advantages of having a wife who was a Jedi was that she always seemed to know he was there, even in her sleep. Jag smiled as she snuggled closer to him, pressing her curves against his. He stroked her cheek lovingly, inhaling the scent of her thick, dark hair. This is my wife, he thought. I get to wake up every day for the rest of my life with this woman in my arms. I get to see her face first thing every morning and kiss her goodnight every night. Jag could not think of anything more precious. He let out a content, tired sigh, holding Jaina to him. She stirred and blinked up at him, a small creeping across her face. "You're back," she whispered in the soft, silky voice Jag had come to know as her morning voice. He smiled at her. "Yeah. We just got back." He ran his fingers through her hair. "I didn't mean to wake you." "It's alright," she assured him. "I was just waiting for you to come home." Jag's throat constricted everytime she said that. Home, he mused to himself. Once my parents' house on Nirauan was my home. Now home is wherever Jaina is. "Have you had any word from your parents?" Jaina asked, picking up on his thoughts. "No," Jag replied. "I sent my mother a hololetter but she has not replied yet." "Did you tell her about us?" Jaina asked. "No," Jag shook his head. "That is something I want to do in person." "I understand," Jaina smiled, leaning her head to kiss him. Her lips were soft against his, and the taste of her kiss sent fire through his body. Her eyes were bright when she pulled back and Jag knew instantly that she had something tot tell him. "What?" he asked. "What is it?" A smile lit her face. "I saw Anakin." For a moment Jag was confused, then he remembered Kyp telling him that Jedi were sometimes visited by the spirits of fallen Jedi. A shiver went down Jag's spine at the thought of seeing his own brother's ghost, but Jaina was a Jedi, and this was not strange and terrifying to her like it was to him. "You did?" he asked softly, stroking her hair. She nodded. "He came to talk to me." That's good, I suppose, Jag thought, not entirely comfortable with the idea of ghosts popping in on his wife. Then again, it's Anakin. Her brother. There's nothing to worry about there. "What did he have to say?" Jag asked. "He helped me work through some of the dark side stuff I've been going through," Jaina replied. Jag looked down at her in surprise. "I thought you were over that." Jaina shrugged. "It's not something that goes away, really. It's always going to be a part of what I am. A part of who I am." Jag didn't need the Force to understand that cryptic comment. What I am- a Jedi. Who I am- the granddaughter of Darth Vader. "And what did you and Anakin discuss about that?" he asked. "I've been afraid of slipping again," Jaina confessed softly. "But fear is of the dark side, too. As long as I let the dark side scare me, I'm not completely free of it." Jag didn't understand the Force and the dark side well enough yet to know why fear was a bad thing, but he knew that it was something Jedi tried to avoid. Now he understood why. "And are you still afraid of it?" Jag asked quietly. "Or are you free?" "I'm free," Jaina said softly, her breath spilling over his neck. "Anakin freed me." Jag kissed her head. "You freed yourself. Anakin just helped." Jaina sighed and hugged him closer, resting her head on his chest. They laid like that for a long time, Jag running his fingers through her hair, her cheek pressed against his chest. "I think I'm ready to forgive Jacen," Jaina said softly. Jag nodded. "I'm glad. I think you need to." "I don't think I'll ever be completely okay with the decision he made," Jaina said. "But he made the right choice for him and for the Jedi. My decision would have gotten me killed." Jag's mind flashed back to the moment in his father's office when he had told him that one of the Solo children had been killed. Jag's heart had stopped, and for one terrifying instant he had thought Jaina Solo was dead. He had not known at the time why the thought scared him as deeply as it did, but his father had realized, and Jag wondered if his father hadn't known all along that Jag was in love with Jaina. "I'm glad it didn't," Jag said softly. "I love you, and I can't imagine my life without you in it." "I love you, too," Jaina smiled, placing a kiss on his chest. She laid her head down again, and he could see her biting her lip from over her head. "I wanted to stay with Anakin, to fight and die with Anakin, because I loved him and I couldn't bear to let him suffer alone. Anakin made me realize, Jacen was doing the same thing for Anakin by leaving him. Anakin didn't want anyone else to die with him, and by dragging me away, Jacen was able to at least give Anakin that little bit of strength, to die happy in the knowledge that I was going to live." "It sounds like Anakin knows what he's talking about," Jag observed. "He does," Jaina replied. "When Chewie died, we all knew that Anakin did the right thing by leaving him. Chewie would have been horrified if Anakin had died alongside him." "Just like Anakin would have if you had stayed behind with him," Jag surmised. "It's more than that," Jaina said, sitting up. "When Chewie died, my father blamed Anakin for leaving him. I realized that I've been blaming Jacen the same way." Jag didn't know what to say to that, so he just propped himself up on his elbows and studied her. She was wearing a pair of black fatigue pants and one of his shirts, and it was hard not to think about how fetching she looked wearing his clothes. Jaina looked at him, a smile tugging at her lips. "Fetching, huh?" she whispered huskily, and Jag's heart began to pound furiously as she lowered her mouth to his. "You think I'm fetching, Colonel Fel?" "I think you're beautiful," Jag whispered against her lips. Jaina kissed him hard, pushing him back down onto the bed. "I think you're pretty handsome, yourself." "We have to meet Piggy and Sharr in a few minutes," Jag protested weakly. "Kyp will know what-" Jaina pressed a finger to his lips. "They can wait. I'm a Goddess, remember? I'm supposed to be fashionably late." Jag raised an eyebrow. "I think this will put us beyond fashionably late." Jaina grinned. "What's the point of all this Goddess stuff if I don't use it to my advantage every once and a while?" She ran her fingers through his hair, sending shivers of delgith of coursing through him. He swallowed, trying to resist the affect she was having on him. "I don't think-" "Stop thinking," Jaina hissed softly against his ear. "This is to your advantage, too, dummy." Jag found himself compelled to agree. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	While Vergere and Luke talked on the balcony overlooking the beach, Jacen Solo sat on the sand, gazing out at the horizon. The sun was just beginning to set, spilling rays of orange and pink light across the water. Jacen hardly noticed, though, he was so deep in thought. He had made his peace with Anakin, and now all he needed to do was talk with his sister. But Jaina was stubborn and her temper was more dangerous than the dark side could ever be, so Jacen knew he had to let her come to him when she was ready. Which may be never, he thought to himself, sighing. "Such a sigh," her voice filled the air. Jacen started. He hadn't even detected anyone else's presence. He looked over his shoulder to see his sister leaning against the side of a tree, cloaked by the shadows cast by the sunset. "Join me?" he asked. Silently she emerge from the shadows, and for one horrifying instant Jacen could almost see the Jaina she might have become, a Jaina dressed in shadows and bathed in darkness. He quickly ended that train of thought, though, as she sat down next to him and rays of light played across her face. She really is beautiful, Jacen thought. I know she always has been, but it seems like she grows more beautiful every day. Jaina sat beside him in silence for a long moment, staring out at the sky, her face more serene than Jacen could recall ever seeing it. Deciding to take the initiative, he said quietly, "Anakin came to me." Jaina nodded. "I figured he would." "It was ... nice to see him," Jacen said. "Yes," Jaina agreed, not taking her eyes off the sunset. "It was." "Do you think he went to see Tahiri?" Jacen asked after a long pause. Jaina shook her head. "I doubt it. Appearing to her now would only make it harder for her since he can't appear to her again." Jacen nodded thoughtfully. "I hadn't though of that." Jaina didn't reply. She dangled her feet over the water, and Jacen watched as she used the Force to create a small funnel of water at her feet, then sent it swirling out into the ocean. He remembered playing that game as children. He, Jaina and Anakin would see who could get theirs the farthest, while being discreet about it enough that their dad never caught on. Jacen created his own funnel and gave it a good nudge, spinning it just past Jaina's. A small smile lit his sister's face. "We haven't done this in years," she said. "No," Jacen agreed. "We haven't." "This was Anakin's game," Jaina said, her voice much softer. Jacen swallowed, preparing himself for the accusations he had come to expect from her when it came to Anakin. Instead she lowered her head and whispered, "I've been blaming you the way Dad blamed Anakin when Chewie died, and it's not fair. It's cruel. You did what you had to, and you made the right choice." Jacen drew a sharp breath of surprise. Jaina looked at him. "I'm not ever going to be completely okay with that choice, because it's not the choice I would have made," she said. "But I would have chosen wrong. I can admit that." "Not an easy thing to admit," Jacen said softly. Jaina shrugged. "I've been wrong before." She bit her lip, then glanced at him again. "Jace, I'm sorry. I had no right to say the things I said to you on Myrkyr." "You had every right," Jacen replied. "You were being a sister." "Just not to you," Jaina said. "I acted like you weren't suffering right along with me, and I'm sorry. You were hurting just as bad as I was, and I purposely took out my pain on you." Jacen gave her hand a squeeze. "Don't worry about it. I understand." Jaina nodded, pushing to her feet. She glanced out at the water, then down at her brother. "Come on," she said, extending her hand to help him up. "Let's take a walk." Jacen stood and fell into step beside her as she walked along the sand. They walked in silence for a while, enjoying the warm breeze rolling off of the water and the comfortable feeling of being together. After a while, he glanced over at his sister. "Jaina?" he asked softly. "Are we okay?" "Yeah, Jacen," she replied with a small smile, her hand sliding into his. "We're okay." -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization
