	I like going there, but I agree with Jade, they do have too many problems. I think it comes from having a lot of stories and reviews and authors on there. Oh well. -----signature----- Jedida watches my back Continuation (Jaina/Jag): http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=8072867&page=1 Death Isn't Always Permanent (Corran/Mirax): http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=8418018&page=1 See my bio for my other fics

	Wedge Antilles looked up as his nephew strolled into his office, looking weary, annoyed and frustrated. Oh Force, Wedge thought. I just hope I'm not the reason. He had already dealt with Syal and Myri that day, both of whom were upset about something or other. Wedge didn't really know. Between all the whining and complaining, he had caught the words "Valin" and "bored" from Syal, and "stupid" and "tutor" from Myri. From what he gathered, Syal found her classes at the university boring and missed Valin, while Myri was just fed up with her tutor. "I would have thought you would be home by now," Jag commented, glancing at the chrono on the wall. "It's late. The girls will be asleep by the time you get home." "I know," Wedge replied dryly. "That's why I'm still here." A slight smirk tugged at Jag's lips. "Yes, Aunt Iella did mention something abut the girls giving you a bit of grief today." "A bit?" Wedge scoffed. "More like a storm of it. Good luck when Padme hits her teenage years, Jagged. You're going to need it." Now Jag did smirk. "I have no doubt. She is not only a girl, but a Jedi, too, remember? I have little doubt that she will be the death of me." "That or the boy who secretly marries her behind your back," Wedge said with a wink. "I'm glad to see you got back safely. There were no problems on the trip back to Coruscant?" Jag shook his head. "No, sir. I think one would have to be pretty arrogant to attack a Star Destroyer with Rogue Squadron and two of Bespin's finest squadrons on hand." "Not to mention stupid," Wedge agreed. "Speaking of stupid," Jag said, glaring at him. "Wes Janson sends his regards." Wedge grinned. "Does he now?" Jag shot him a dirty look. "Don't even try to pretend that you weren't aware of his presence on Bespin," he said. "I know you knew he was there." Wedge shrugged, smiling. "It slipped my mind. My apologies." Jag nodded. "You're forgiven. Besides, Jaina knew, too, and she didn't warn me, either." He smiled faintly. "So I figure if I forgive her, I have to forgive you, too." "Thank you," Wedge said. "You might not thank me after what I have to say next," Jag smirked. "I brought someone back to see you. An old Rogue of your, I believe." Wedge studied him through narrowed eyes. "If you brought Wes back with you so he could drive me crazy..." Jag shook his head, amused. "I could not have tolerated him for the journey back. I believe you will find his presence much more pleasant than Captain Janson's." Before Wedge could ask who it was, a familiar figure stepped into the office. The man was older, about Wedge's age, with a wiry frame and ash blond hair. His features were sharp and narrow, lines around his eyes and mouth, but Wedge would have known him anywhere. "Hobbie!" he cried in surprise. Hobbie grinned. "Pleasure to see you again, sir." Wedge gestured for Jag to shut the door and stood to embrace his old friend. "How are you? What have you been up to? Were you out on Bespin with Wes?" "I'm fine," Hobbie answered with a grin. "I've been training a bunch of kids to fly, and yes, I was out on Bespin with Wes. Unfortunately." Wedge laughed, gesturing his friend to sit down. "I can sympathize, I assure you." He opened his bottom drawer and lifted out a bottle of Corellian whiskey and sat it on the desk, reaching back into he drawer for the glasses he kept there. Jag frowned, peering at the bottle. "Isn't that the whiskey Jaina gave me for our anniversary?" he asked. Wedge grinned. "You're not supposed to keep alcohol in your office, Colonel. Dereliction of duty. I had to confiscate it." Jag snorted. "Gavin always kept some in his office, and so did you and Tycho." Wedge raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?" Jag smirked. "Jaina told me." I knew we shouldn't have opened our alcohol drawer with Jaina in the room back when she joined the Rogues, Wedge thought with a groan. He pulled out a third glass and handed it to Jag. Jag grinned and poured himself some of the whiskey. "Thank you," he said. "You're a sneaky little Colonel, aren't you?" Hobbie laughed. "Yes," Wedge agreed. "He is. Very sneaky." "I don't know what you're talking about," Jag waved a hand dismissively. He took a sip of the amber liquid, then frowned, looking back at Wedge. "I wanted to speak to you about going to Naboo." Wedge sighed. "Jag, I don't think it's a good idea for the kids to come back to Coruscant right now. There's just too much going on, too much dangerous stuff." "I agree," Jag said. Wedge blinked in surprise. "You do?" Jag nodded. "That is why I wish to go there. I want to visit with Anakin and Padme for a day or two, just so they don't forget what I look like. I would also like to speak to the Jedi Council while I'm there. I think that if we allied our scouting teams with theirs, we could find and destroy the Revolutionaries weaponry bases much quicker and more efficiently." Wedge glanced at Hobbie, offering a glass of whiskey. "I take it Wes told him about the bases we've discovered already?" Hobbie nodded, taking the whiskey from him. "Our squadrons all know, so we felt Jag needed to, as well. So that he could make informed decisions." "I was going to tell him when he returned, anyway," Wedge replied. He shot Jag an apologetic glance. "I would have told you before I sent you, but the last meeting we had was with the Remnant and the Chiss present. I didn't want to divulge anything in front of them." Jag nodded. "I understand. I am not offended, if that's what you're worried about. I would have done the same thing in your position." "Glad to hear that," Wedge responded. He sipped his whiskey. "I think that you should go to Naboo," he said after a long moment. "You haven't seen your children in a while, and I know I've been keeping you busy. It would do you some good to visit them." "Thank you," Jag said, sounding relieved. "Anakin has been upset with me lately, since we've been ferrying them back and forth between Coruscant and Naboo. Jaina said he was eager to see me, I don't want to upset him further by not seeing him for another month or two." Wedge nodded, biting his lip thoughtfully. He understood Jag's dilemma. Having your children so far away, especially at such a young age and for such long periods of time, was disheartening. Add that to Anakin's growing discontent with his father's job keeping his parents so far away, and it was enough to make any father feel frustrated. "Have you spoken to Jaina about some of the things he's aid to you?" Wedge asked evenly. He took great pride and pleasure in the fact that his nephew considered him close enough to discuss personal issues with him, and he wanted to help in any way he could. Jag sighed. "No. Not yet. If she gets involved, he''ll definitely stop making those comments, but it won't keep him from feeling the way he does, and that's what really bothers me." "I know," Wedge said, shaking his head. He recalled some of the conversations between Jag and Anakin that Jag had relayed to him, and he felt bad for Jag. Anakin wasn't being mean or spiteful, he was just voicing his opinion and expressing how he felt, but that didn't make it any less painful. The last time Anakin and Jag had argued about their living arrangements, Anakin had actually declared that if Jag loved him and Padme, he would want to live with them, but since he didn't he must not love them. Wedge knew Anakin didn't believe that. He knew, just by being around the boy, that Anakin knew how much his father loved him. And Anakin adored his father, too, but a five year old boy could say hurtful things when he was hurting, just like anyone else. "I don't think Jaina needs to get involved," Jag said. "This is already painful for her. She hated being separated from her parents when she was a child, and she resented it for most of her teenage years. She wants to be with them, but she doesn't say so because she doesn't want to hurt me." "She wants to move to Naboo?" Hobbie asked quietly. Jag nodded. "She hasn't said so, but I know my wife. She wants to live among the Jedi so we can have the children in our house all the time. She feels like she hasn't been a real mother to them with them so far away." "Maybe she's not the only one who feels like they're failing in their parenting duties," Hobbie offered gently. "It seems to me that you feel like you haven't been a good enough father to Anakin and Padme, and that's why you get defensive when Anakin calls you on it. Because you're scared that you aren't being a good father, and you're terrified your children will resent you for it when they're older." Wedge looked at Hobbie in surprise. Not many people would dare to try and play psychologist with Jag Fel, even those who knew him well. And Hobbie had only met him on Bespin. Wedge almost expected Jag to become defensive and get offended, but when he didn't, Wedge realized just how tired Jag really was. "You're right," Jag said wearily. "Then why don't you move to Naboo?" Hobbie asked. "I can't abandon my station," Jag protested. "Rogue Squadron can't function as well if we're based so far away from the capital." "You never know unless you try," Hobbie replied. "And if it doesn't work out, at least Anakin would know that you tried. He probably doesn't think you're making any effort at all. Kids don't see the fine print, only the bold letters." Jag looked thoughtful, his brow furrowed in concentration. Wedge raised an eyebrow at Hobbie. "When did you become such an expert on children, Hobbie? You don't have any kids, and I don't remember you ever having spent much time around them." Hobbie shook his head. "I haven't." A grin lit his face. "But I have, however, spent a lot of time around Wes. And there's no one who knows more about acting like a five year old than Wes." -----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
