WOW... finally unbury from DRL for a few minutes and find one of my favorite stories has an update!!!!

I'm so glad Little Cat didn't let you delete this one. I'd have had to hunt you down and forced you to finish.

Ok on to comments... I loved the insight into Leia's feelings!

The description of physical shock upon realizing it wasn't a dream was so real it totally took me there.

Drat DRL is calling again.... Do not give up on this one LASOS! But please do not pull and LP and have her lose the pg... shame_on_you

But I had to register specifically to tell you how much I'm enjoying this story and to ask that you please PM me with Chapter 17.5! I'm old enough to have seen the original SW in the theater back in 1977 and to have crushed H/L from the very first. happy

I'm so desperate...I am re-reading the story and I was thinking (while reading the scene where they all have dinner on Hoth base):
There is the possibility of seeing Han ask Bail for Leia's hand in marriage (when all's well that ends well etc.) - I mean, when do we ever have this scenario for real?

I am crazy...but this is one of my maniac posts around here, so thanks for reading and whatever... laugh

Hahahha, I just watched "Wife Force One." Y'all, go check that out! It's linked in The_Solo_Smirk's signature. laugh

So...again, failing with the replies. But, Happy Forth of July (or, Force of July, if you're watching Spike) to all of you! And, thanks for reading! And, thanks for waiting! Oh, AND, thanks for all the nominations for the fanfic awards! I didn't even know that the awards were going on, so that was a pretty awesome surprise! You guys rock!

As a present, I have a futureshot for you and am about 80% of the way through another chapter that I would really like to get posted this week. As always, many thanks to LittleCat, for being my incredible beta, and Mathematica, for all of her help and guidance. And to The_Solo_Smirk, for all the sweet tunes. happy

Away we go!

-L.

The news that Leia had been rushed to the orbiting medical frigate on board the Falcon had travelled quickly through the ranks of the Alliance. The men that Leia called family were soon joined by her friends and superiors, and the waiting area was suddenly overflowing with sentients anxious for news about the princess. Wedge Antilles, Hobbie Klivian, and Wes Janson sat down on the floor near Chewie and Lando, and Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar took seats next to Rieekan. Even Threepio and Artoo had found their way into the eerily silent room.

Han took little notice of the new visitors. He and Luke had returned to their spots on the floor in the short hallway that led to the triage bay, this time accompanied by Bail. Though he was quiet, stoic, Han was livid. His earlier despair had melted into white-hot anger. He remembered they prophecy that the old Jedi Windu had described to him and Leia right after their wedding, and it ate him almost as much as the waiting did. That same Jedi was now sitting diagonally across the room from him, and was the only person among the patchwork group that appeared calm -- unconcerned even -- by the vibrant life hanging in the balance on the other side of the triage doors.

(Except that he should have been concerned, because this was
Leia’s life they were watching fade, dammit, this was Leia, this was her, and he should have been anything but unconcerned.)

Mace’s eyes were closed as though he were meditating, or maybe sleeping, but he soon opened them and looked directly at Han, unsurprised that the younger man was staring back at him with narrowed eyes. They stared at each other for a long moment, a battle of wills oblivious to everyone else around them.

“Why are you even here?”

Han’s words were venomous and sliced through the silence, startling everybody except the man he was speaking to. Beside Han, Bail’s brow furrowed a little more, and Luke made a move to put a restraining hand on his brother-in-law before deciding that he, too, wanted to know the answer to Han’s question. The tension in the room was suddenly palpable, thick as durasteel, and everyone watched as the old Jedi master only nodded calmly.

“General -- ” he began, but Han cut him off immediately, swiftly to his feet and crossing the room to where Windu sat.

“Why the hell are you here?” Han spat again. “You don’t care about her. You aren’t in there healing her. If she’s so important to your godsdamned Order, why aren’t you doing anything?”

Mace stood slowly, not speaking until he was level with the angry general.

“Please understand, General,” he said calmly. “It’s the will of the Force. Leia is important, but there are events that must happen for the galaxy to move forward. You must see this.”

“Damn your galaxy to hell!” Han was shouting now, his fury deafening in the quiet room. He pointed an angry finger into Mace’s chest, and Luke got up to stand behind the two men. “She isn’t a pawn in your game. You’ve done nothing but use her. You used her and you used Luke. You’ve manipulated them and lied to them and now you won’t do anything to help her because it doesn’t suit you? You’re a real son of a Hutt, you know that?”

“Han!” Luke shouted, but Mace held up a silencing hand.

“It’s the will of the Force,” the Jedi repeated, looking calmly into Han’s eyes.

Han looked ready to punch the old man, but before he could open his mouth to say anything, Luke stepped between him and fixed a serious glare on his brother-in-law.

“Tuck’s coming, Han.”

As soon as Luke said it, the triage doors slid open and Tuck Ello walked into the crowded waiting room. Bail stood up immediately and Han nearly ran up to the Corellian medic. Tuck nodded once at the Viceroy and offered an unconvincing half-smile to everyone waiting anxiously for word about Leia. Then he met Han’s worried eyes and placed a hand on Han’s arm. The gesture filled the general with fear, as though Tuck was preparing to keep him from collapsing to the floor.

“She’s not -- ” Han managed, mouth suddenly dry.

The medic’s deep blue eyes were suddenly glassy, and he ducked his head and swallowed hard before he was able to speak.

“I’m so sorry, Han.”

Congrats on your noms - you deserve them! applause

It's amazing that you are going to post a new chapter soon because I am sooo up to date on this story for I just finished re-reading it!

The futureshot was very intense!!! - I liked the fact that Han is screaming the whole medical wing to pieces due to all his angst and anger. On the other hand, it feels kinda blasphemic when the great great Jedi Master Windu is being yelled at by Han who has now idea what is going on with "this force stuff", to be honest.
I'll be patient and won't ask what happened to Leia - oh, I just did! blush
(it's the baby, well, I'd like it a bit more specific)

...

But...but...LASOS...what are you doing??? cry *faints*

Nooooo!

Mace, in my opinion, deserved everything Han threw at him. How could he be so callous, just sitting there ever so calmly while everyone else's world was falling apart. Han is right, he shouldn't have been there, he should do his meditating elsewhere. Force thing or not, Han understanding or not of Force matters, there is no excuse for such callousness.

I don't know how to interpret the "I'm sorry" from Tuck other than either Leia or the baby or both are gone. Any way you look at it, there's bad news in there.

Please don't make us wait so long for the next update, I'm sure we are all sitting in that waiting room, anxiously waiting to find out details. Poor Han...

I just found and read this yesterday. I loved it! There were so many wonderful bits I won't be able to do justice to it here. I did want to point out my favorite scene where Leia and Han are exchanging stories about their scars. It reminded me of earlier when Han muses that he loves Leia because she's a paradox. She's strong, but she's also vulnerable. Her strength doesn't make her impervious to suffering and hardship, but it allows her to endure and gives her courage. To allow Han to see her vulnerable side shows trust and is far more intimate than the mere physical exposure involved. I loved the scene, and I love the way you're writing Leia. It's easy to see why Han's so crazy about her/driven crazy by her. tongue

Really enjoyed the story so far!

applause ^^^^

I am kind of disappointed that they didn't consider "your" Leia for the list of best canon interpretation female!
