This is good. I like your reinterpretation of Wes and Hobbie.

"Jacen?"

Jacen looked up from his meditating to see Tenel Ka standing in the doorway of the training room. "Hi," he said, flashing her a lopsided grin. "I was wondering where you disappeared to earlier."

"I went to see Cilghal," Tenel Ka said quietly, making her way over to the corner where he sat. She dropped down to sit next to him silently.

"Cilghal?" Jacen asked worriedly. "Is there something wrong? Are you sick?"

Tenel Ka shook her head. "There is nothing wrong, Jacen. I have felt odd these past few days and wanted to have Cilghal or Tekli look me over. Since Tekli is away tending to the injured refugees from the Revolutionaries last attack, Cilghal was kind enough to see me."

"And?" Jacen asked, frowning in concern. Tenel Ka rarely felt the need to have a regular check up, much less request a healer to examine her. "What did she find?"

Tenel Ka turned her face to his, her cool granite eyes shinning with quiet warmth. "I am pregnant, Jacen," she said softly.

Jacen blinked in shock. Pregnant? Again? I always wanted Owen to have siblings, he thought with a smile. "You're sure?" he asked her.

Tenel Ka nodded. "I am certain."

Jacen grinned. "That's wonderful!" he cried. "Owen gets a baby brother or sister! Oh, he'll be so glad. Remember how jealous he used to be that Anakin and Padme had one another to play with? Now there will be an even number of kids in this house."

"Actually, there will not," Tenel Ka said, her lips twitching in amusement. "There will be three now instead of one."

"Twins?" Jacen asked, now even more shocked. "We're having twins?"

Tenel Ka nodded. "Yes. We are having twins."

I wonder if my family is just jinxed with twins, Jacen mused to himself. "Well, I guess when Jaina didn't have twins, I should have known we would," he said. "I mean, Mom and Uncle Luke are twins, but only Mom has twins herself, so of course I'd be the twin to have twins."

"Perhaps," Tenel Ka smiled. "Now if our daughter has twins, we will know that you have figured out the pattern of genetic distribution among the Skywalker line."

Jacen laughed. "Whatever you say, Tenel." He leaned his head down and kissed her gently on the lips. "I can't wait to tell Owen."

Tenel Ka chuckled. "He will be almost as eager as you, I predict."

"Yeah," Jacen agreed with a lopsided grin. "And Mom and Dad will be thrilled to have another grandchild. Dad told Jaina at dinner that she and Jag should consider having a third child. I think he was secretly disappointed when she said that two was more than enough for them."

"Your father likes children," Tenel Ka agreed. "I think that our son and Jaina's son both remind him of Anakin as a child. Since your brother is no longer with us, your father feels like Owen and Anakin, particularly Anakin, are the closest thing he can get to having his son back."

Jacen nodded, his mood sombering. When Jaina had given birth to Anakin, it had broken Jacen's heart that his brother could not be there to witness it. It hurt sometimes, to watch his son play with Jaina's children, imagining the phantom kids who should be among them, part Tahiri and part Anakin, but never could be.

"You're right, of course," Jacen said. He smiled at her, pushing all thoughts of Anakin and the life he had been denied out of his head. "You usually are."

Tenel Ka patted his arm affectionately. "That is only because you are usually wrong," she said with a slight smile.

Jacen shook his head, smiling. "Come on," he said, standing and offering her his hand.

Tenel Ka raised an eyebrow up at him, then pushed herself to her feet with her own hands, ignoring his outstretched one. Jacen grinned, as he tended to do, whenever he saw her use her prosthetic arm. After years of refusing to have one attached after a lightsaber accident had severed her left arm at the elbow, Tenel Ka had finally come to accept that allowing a prosthetic one to be attached was not a sign of personal weakness, but of strength. Her prosthetic arm functioned as well as the real one, so much so that people who did not know she had a prosthetic thought it was real.

"Where are we going?" Tenel Ka asked, taking his hand in hers and intertwining their fingers.

"To find Owen," Jacen grinned. "I want to tell him he gets two baby siblings! Either he's going to think that's the best news he's ever heard, or he's learned that two of them means twice as much mess and trouble."

"If they are anything like you and your sister," Tenel Ka smirked. "Then they will definitely be twice the trouble. Maybe more so."

"Hey, come on, we weren't that bad," Jacen protested.

"Correct," Tenel Ka replied. "You were not. You still are."

Jacen rolled his eyes as they started for their house. "I'm not the one running off and getting into trouble. Jaina's the one who insists on being partners with Kyp Durron."

"Jaina does have a reputation for finding danger," Tenel Ka agreed. "Let us hope that skill is not one she passes on to Padme and Anakin."

Jacen snorted. "If they're anything like their namesakes, I'd say they'll have no trouble finding dangerous situations to get involved in."

"Let us just be glad they are still young, yes?" Tenel Ka smiled. "They have a few years ahead of them before we have to start worrying about bounty hunters and crime syndicates."

"And crazy anti-human organizations," Jacen added with a wistful grin. "Those were the days."

"Those were the days we were being kidnapped by Dark Jedi, fighting to protect the Academy, trying to save the human race from extinction, and foiling Czenthros' plans," Tenel Ka corrected.

Jacen laughed. "Don't you miss those days?"

Tenel Ka eyed him appraisingly. "I think you are missing a large section of your brain."

That made Jacen laugh even harder. "And to think I used to worry you'd never develop a sense of humor."

"Oh, I had one, Jacen, my friend," Tenel Ka replied, grinning at him wickedly. "It was your jokes that were the problem. They were not funny at all."

Jacen feigned shock. "None of them? Not even the one about which side of the wampa is the furriest?"

"None of them," Tenel Ka replied gravely. "I am thankful that you seem to have abandoned your joking ways. I do not think I could have stood to hear that awful joke one more time."

Jacen opened his mouth to reply, when Owen cried out to them. They turned to see Tahiri walking towards them, their son in her arms.

"Owen!" Jacen grinned.

"Papa!" Owen cried happily. "Momma!"

"Hello, my son," Tenel Ka smiled, taking a squirming Owen from Tahiri's arms. "How was your lesson today?"

Owen made a face. "Bored," he said.

Jacen laughed. "I remember thinking the same thing about the lessons Mom used to give us."

"Momma, guess what?" Owen asked excitedly. "Guess!"

Tenel Ka smiled in amusement. "What is it, Owen?"

"Which side of wampa is furriest?" Owen asked, grinning expectantly.

Tenel Ka exchanged a dark look with Jacen. "This is your fault, you know."

Jacen just laughed.
