Sorry it's so short. Had way too much work today and my brain just won't function that well w/o soda in the house wink
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rogue Lead to Bespin Ground Control," Jag said into his comm-unit. "This is Colonel Jagged Fel, arriving under orders from General Antilles to see Commander Latik."

There was a burst of static, then the operator came back, "Copy that, Colonel Fel. You have been cleared to enter atmosphere. An escort fighter will meet you at sky break and lead you back to base."

"Copy," Jag said, then switched back to his squadron's private frequency. "Rogues, we have permission to enter atmosphere. Keep your eyes and ears open. They're sending us an escort fighter to take us to base."

"Acknowledged, Rogue Leader," Voort "Piggy" SaBring replied, his mechanical voice deep and coarse.

"We copy, Jaggy," Sharr Latt called.

Although Jag made a point of groaning at the nickname over the comm-link, it secretly sort of ut him at ease. Hearing it, like having Piggy and Sharr flying with him, reminded him of the old days during the Vong war, when they were all flying under Jaina's command in Twin Suns Squadron.

But the Vong war was over, and Twin Suns was now an all Jedi squadron. Jaina had been promoted to Colonel during the last year of the war, but she had worked it out with Wedge and Tycho that she was a reserve only for the Republic, her first priority being the Jedi. Not that there had ever been a conflict with that, Twin Suns was willing to take orders from General Antilles, and Jaina was a trusted and well-respected commander. Her step outside of the official service only meant that she could refuse an order on the grounds that it went against the Jedi Council's wishes, and that she could put the wishes of the Jedi before those of the Republic.

It worked well that way. Jaina still got to play an active role in the Republic military, but she didn't have to worry about where to divide her loyalties. She was a Jedi first and foremost, and the Republic understood that.

Sometimes Jag wished it was the other way around. not very often, but every once and a while. When the pressure started getting to him, when he didn't get to see her for months at a time, when she was constantly running off to go on one Jedi mission after another. Every once and a while, it got to him, and Jag found himself wishing that she was commanding Rogue Squadron instead of him, and that he was just her husband flying as her wingmate again.

Sighing, Jag shook his head clear of all thoughts about Jaina. He couldn't afford to think about her right then. Thoughts of her were distracting, they led to thoughts of his children, which led to an empty feeling deep in his chest. He hated not being with Anakin and Padme. He absolutely hated it. He never talked about it with Jaina, but she knew anyway. It was even harder for her, not being there every minute of every day.

Regardless of what she said, Jag knew that Jaina was unhappy with their living arrangement. She never said a word, but Jag could see it in her eyes. She wanted to live on Naboo.

And the difficult thing was, so did Jag.

But it seemed impossible, given Rogue Squadron's necessity to be near the capitol. Jag envied his brother and sister, neither of them had a spouse or children to be separated from. Wik was twenty-four and not looking to settle down yet, and as a Major in the Chiss military he wasn't exactly in an ideal situation to meet anyone. As for Zena, she was only twenty-two and still searching for the man that she deemed worthy to marry. Jag figured by the time she found him, his children would be grown up.

Still, Jag wouldn't have taken it back for anything. He loved his children, adored them, was constantly amazed and impressed with them. Both Anakin and Padme were strong in the Force, and their training was progressing quickly. Luke had even commented that they both had a solid mastery of their Force skills so far. Little Anakin was always surprising and pleasing him with new skills and talents, and their son was already proving to be quite ingenious. And when Jag looked at Padme, he saw his wife looking back at him. Every time she smiled or laughed, Jag knew how Han Solo must have felt when he and Jaina eloped. Already Jag was determined that no man was ever going to be good enough for his daughter.

"Now entering atmosphere," Piggy's mechanical voice jolted Jag out of his thoughts.

"I've got an incoming friendly coming in at starboard," Garit Hunter said. "He's hailing us as our escort."

"Patch him through to me," Jag ordered. When his clawcraft display lit up, announcing that the incoming call had been successfully redirected to him, Jag asked, "This is Colonel Jagged Fel of Rogue Squadron."

"I know who you are," a familiar voice chuckled.

The hair on the back of Jag's neck began to tingle, as he wracked his brain for the source of the familiar voice. "And who, may I ask, are you?" Jag retorted.

There was a pause, then the pilot of the incoming Y-wing, for Jag could now see it clearly out his viewport, replied, "I think you'll have to ask your wife about that, Fel."

Jag's eyebrows raised. His wife? "I take it you have met Jaina?" he asked evenly, trying to keep his voice even.

"Met her? Yeah, you could say that," the pilot snickered.

"She called you an arrogant monkey-lizard," Piggy hissed, raspy laughter shaking over the comm-link. "She was right."

Jag's jaw dropped. "Janson?" he groaned.

"Nice to see you, too, Fel," Wes Janson called dryly.

"It's not too late for us to pretend we thought he was an ugly and shoot him down," Sharr commented sarcastically.

"What are you doing here, Captain Janson?" Jag asked, recovering from his shock.If my uncle knew he was here and didn't see fit to warn me, he thought through gritted teeth.

"Commander Latik needed an experienced fighter pilot to help train the squadrons he has here," Wes replied. "I'm experienced."

"Can't argue with that," Piggy muttered.

"I can try," Sharr retorted.

"You were training pilots?" Jag asked Wes, ignoring Sharr and Piggy. "What for?"

"To help you on your escort mission," Wes answered. "After that, they're sticking with the Lusankya for while. To provide backup support."

Backup support? Jag wondered. Does Wes know something I don't?

"I was supposed to pick the best pilot to fly with you back to Coruscant to meet with General Antilles," Wes went on. "But none of them can outfly me."

Jag groaned again. "Does that mean you're flying with us back to Coruscant?"

"Nope," Wes replied with a tone that suggested he was smirking. "One half of the team has to stay here. I elected to stay here and keep training the kids. But my partner-in-crime has graciously agreed to accompany you."

"Partner-in-crime?" Jag asked, not liking the sound of that.

"Oh by the Force," Piggy moaned. "Don't tell me it's..."

"Yep," Wes said, and now Jag was sure he was smirking.

"No," Piggy groaned.

"At least it's not Janson," Sharr said with a sigh.

Jag, feeling more than a little confused now, demanded, "Who the Sith are you talking about?"

Another blip appeared on his display board and Jag turned his head to see another Y-wing approaching. "That would be me, sir," an amused voice replied.

"Don't 'sir' him," Wes scoffed. "He's half your age."

"Some of us actually respect our superiors, Janson," the newcomer retorted dryly.

"Not when you're old enough to be your superior's father," Wes shot back.

"Excuse me," Jag said, fighting to keep a calm voice. "Would you mind telling me who I'm listening to insult Captain Janson? Not that I mind, it happens to be a favorite pastime of mine, but I would like to know whom I am speaking to."

"I call him nerf herder," Wes called. "But you can call him Hobbie."

Awesome. Great banter there. And I hope Hobbie is gonna be around more. He doesn't get enough love, if you ask me. Same goes for Janson, except the love part. He gets more than enough. And the family scenes: so sweet.

**Cough** Pellaeon **Clears throat** Ord Mantell **Cough** wink

And knowing you, I don't have to ask if there will be more soon.
