::dances::

And the computer works long enough for me to get to this!!!

::dances::

I love it. I think I went through all the posts in like ten minutes, I just had to keep reading til it was the last post! I'm sitting here with the hugest grin on my face.

I like that the girl has a crush on Kyp, and Jaina's like, oh, Lordie, I remember doing that... ...which brings me to asking, any hope for an update on WTTC?

I like how there wasn't a kid. ::winces:: Well, yes and no. I like how they were both disappointed. And I like how there's going to be a second chance!

-Saber

 

Cati: well, that's gonna be messy. grass in all kinds of places.

Uh. Anyway. . .

ROTFLOL!!


Dana: I love this! Kyp and Jaina being mushy and cute (including the tribute to Han and Leia's exchange at the end of ESB), and Han telling Leia not to go find them, hehe.

"No baby," she choked out. "There's no baby."

Oh man...that was so sad. I love that scene and how she couldn't talk at first... Now I know what you meant about not wanting to write that scene. Poor Jaina and Kyp!!


Kyp didn't speak, just looked at her with those dark green eyes.

Jaina stopped at the corner of the bed. "I'll have you."

So... like... hon, where's the rest?? She'll have him...massage her feet? She'll have him...fly her ship. Or, she'll have him turn into a vampire and drink her blood? Like, what???? I'm sitting on the edge of my seat here!


Eowyn_Jade: the end made me go "awww..." and now my roomate and my friend (who is practically my roomate) are looking at me funny again you've got to stop making me do that!

LOL! But, that's the best part of having a freshman roomie! They get to give you weird looks every time you roflol at your computer screen or reach for your tissues!

More soon, Dana!

ooh, another post! Knew I shouldn't have gone to bed early.

It's sad, but hopeful... hm... They've lost something, but they've got more to look forward to... aw.

 

Babi_Tahiri - Claiming my first reply! You already know I loved it. I think, even though this post is heartwrenching, it's wonderful. Of course, it fits with the song.

Yeah, it does. Which was difficult, but it was really too early . . . and relationships that begin with a baby like that don't usually end up as the best ones . . . *glances over at Abby* But there are exceptions . . .


Abby - And, really, who wouldn't? - *snicker*

You KNOW I had to use that!

Love it...of course...sad, but ended up hopeful. I can't wait to see part 8

I can't wait to write part 8.


Daughterofflame - Wooohoo! 1st reply!!!!!

Third, actually, but that's okay.

Great post!!!

Thanks.


Eowyn_Jade - whoa...the blow with the child must have been hard and I definitley wasn't expecting it...their reactions were perfect too, and true, it was rather early

I had actually debated whether I wanted to have her not be pregnant and just think she was, or to have her be pregnant and lose the child. As it stands, it can go either way, and I think it works. It's up to the reader, I suppose, to decide.

the end made me go "awww..." and now my roomate and my friend (who is practically my roomate) are looking at me funny again you've got to stop making me do that!

I couldn't help working that white sweater in there.

great update! more soon!

I'm working on it.


SaberBlade - ::dances:: And the computer works long enough for me to get to this!!!

I'm glad you like it.

I have a partially written one on my laptop, I've just been too lazy to transfer it over. I'm probably gonna do that today. Or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow.

I like how there wasn't a kid. ::winces:: Well, yes and no. I like how they were both disappointed. And I like how there's going to be a second chance!

Well, the song pretty much required that there be no baby. So . . . *shrug* Yes, there's definitely going to be a second chance.


MiaTieska - Cati: well, that's gonna be messy. grass in all kinds of places.
Uh. Anyway. . .
ROTFLOL!!

That still makes me laugh . . .

Dana: I love this! Kyp and Jaina being mushy and cute (including the tribute to Han and Leia's exchange at the end of ESB), and Han telling Leia not to go find them, hehe.

I don't think Leia would have liked what she found . . .

"No baby," she choked out. "There's no baby."
Oh man...that was so sad. I love that scene and how she couldn't talk at first... Now I know what you meant about not wanting to write that scene. Poor Jaina and Kyp!!

I always have a reluctance when writing stuff like this. Except in "Fidelis". That was fine, because the child was the spawn of Satan.

I need to write a HAPPY songfic about babies now . . .


Kyp didn't speak, just looked at her with those dark green eyes.
Jaina stopped at the corner of the bed. "I'll have you."
So... like... hon, where's the rest?? She'll have him...massage her feet? She'll have him...fly her ship. Or, she'll have him turn into a vampire and drink her blood? Like, what???? I'm sitting on the edge of my seat here!

*pictures Kraven in "Underworld", drools* Uh, sorry about that . . . Um . . . Good question.

Another late reply from me.

No baby? Oh! *tear*

I like Sarisa... and found her crush on Kyp very amusing.

 

printing it out so i can read it in journalizm tonight (no offense, but the liberals in there are so annoying)

 

I am *loving* this fic, Dana. It's perfect(-ly mushy)...and I rather like this Sarisa girl. She seems sweet more soon please?

-JSD

 

Smuggler_Shidakis - Another late reply from me.

Better late than never!

No baby? Oh! *tear*

Well . . . *points to song lyrics*

I like Sarisa... and found her crush on Kyp very amusing.

Me, too. She's in this a bit more, but she'll be in the sequel more.


Amithyst_Blade - printing it out so i can read it in journalizm tonight (no offense, but the liberals in there are so annoying)

I'm not offended, I'm not a liberal.


Jaina_Solo_Durron - I am *loving* this fic, Dana. It's perfect(-ly mushy)...and I rather like this Sarisa girl. She seems sweet more soon please?

Well, chapter 8's done, I just need to get it beta'd, then I can post. I'm glad you like it.


Dana

 

This is sooooooooooooo freakin' amazing and I mean FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!

I have to say, I almost cried when Jaina said there was no baby......

But at least they have each other and are sooooooo in love!


Speaking othe crush that girl has on Kyp, it'd be cool to introduce someone a little older or not even to come in the picture and ruffle things a bit, just for fun you know....to get Jaina a little jealous

 

This is really really good. I enjoyed reading it so far and I like how you've develloped things. I like the way both Jaina and Kyp have a touch of 'naiveness' about them, in the way that they don't know how much they care about each other. LOL and for once Jaina isn't pregnant Sorry, that sounded harsh, but the trend in K/J fic is usually and soon as they get together there's a child, LOL nobody wait anymore Must be a Dutch thing.

 

C3SoloP0 -This is sooooooooooooo freakin' amazing and I mean FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!

Thanks you.

I have to say, I almost cried when Jaina said there was no baby......

Yeah, I almost cried having to write it.

But at least they have each other and are sooooooo in love!

And they've finally both said it, lol.

Speaking othe crush that girl has on Kyp, it'd be cool to introduce someone a little older or not even to come in the picture and ruffle things a bit, just for fun you know....to get Jaina a little jealous

I'll have to write one like that, 'cause that isn't gonna happen in here. Maybe I'll write a bit of a prequel to "When The Tide Comes", or a flash-back sequence to when Cassia was alive.


Elfsheen - This is really really good. I enjoyed reading it so far and I like how you've develloped things. I like the way both Jaina and Kyp have a touch of 'naiveness' about them, in the way that they don't know how much they care about each other. LOL and for once Jaina isn't pregnant Sorry, that sounded harsh, but the trend in K/J fic is usually and soon as they get together there's a child, LOL nobody wait anymore Must be a Dutch thing.

Well, relationships can be uncertain. I was really reluctant at first to even have the possibility of her being pregnant, but the story really called for it, in the song lyrics.

However, I've noticed that the trend isn't so much with K/J 'fics to have them immediately have a baby. there are some like that, yes, but it's a rather small percentage.


Dana

 

Well, guys, here's the finale! There will be a sequel, so don't worry. I just can't guarantee when, 'cause I have to write it when the story wants to be written.

---

[b]--Chapter Eight--[/b]

[i]Somewhere, something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

-- Phil Collins, "Two Worlds"[/i]

They'd recreated the grand audience chamber from the Great Temple on Yavin IV. Kyp, who was there to act as witness for Jag, wore his best robes. Of course, having been asked that morning, he'd dressed sooner and rather more hurriedly than he'd planned--or Jaina, for that matter, who had been quite put out by the comm beeping at 0800--and was still attempting to straighten said robes as he and Jaina took their positions in the audience chamber. She, in turn, was acting as Tahiri's witness, and both were expected to participate in the ceremony.

Jaina reached up and straightened his collar. She smoothed the front of his robes, then hooked her thumb in his belt. "There. Perfect."

Across the aisle, Jacen snorted.

She levelled a look at her twin. "Excuse me? Don't make me come over there!"

Kyp hooked his arm around Jaina's waist. "Careful, Goddess. Wouldn't want to get blood on the aisle runner."

Jaina smirked. "Yeah, I don't think Tahiri would appreciate getting Jacen's blood on her dress on her wedding day."

Jacen stuck his tongue out at her.

Standing next to Jacen, his fiancée, Queen Mother Tenel Ka, gave her future consort a tolerant look, then winked at Jaina. Tenel Ka was the only one Jaina had told about anything, and the other woman whole-heartedly supported Jaina's decision to accept Kyp.

"I think-" Jaina began, but was cut off by the sound of a slap, then a thump, and a groan.

They looked over to see Sarisa, in her new robes, kick a prone Valin Horn in the shin. His sister Jysella stood nearby, laughing. Sarisa humphed, and stomped over to where Kyp and Jaina stood.

Kyp raised an eyebrow. "What'd he do?"

"Ventured his hands into territory better left unexplored," the teenager said. She moved to stand on the other side of Kyp. The Jedi Master, who had been apprised of the girl's crush, hugged Jaina tighter.

Jaina snickered as Valin got to his feet.

The doors opened and Jag's family entered. Jaina had met them for the first time that morning, and while she liked Syal Fel, she was glad she had not married into that family. She belonged with Kyp.

Jaina leaned back against Kyp and sighed. He slid his other arm around her and kissed her temple.

"When do you want to do this?" he whispered close to her ear.

"Soon," she murmured, not taking her eyes off her uncle as he and Jag walked in.

"How's next month sound?"

She turned at that. "Really?"

"Really."

Jaina grinned. "Sounds perfect."

Across the aisle, Jacen leaned over to Tenel Ka. "What are they talking about?"

"I believe, my love, they are discussing weddings." Tenel Ka looped her arm through Jacen's. "As we should be doing."

Jacen smiled.

Leia hurried in, to stand beside Jaina. Her brown eyes took in her daughter standing in Kyp's arms, and sighed. "All right. Fine. But you'd better tell me you're getting married!"

Jaina grinned. She glanced at her father, then said, "Wouldn't want to disappoint you. Can you throw one of these together in a month?"

Han laughed. "Jaina, your mother's just about invincible. I wouldn't put it past her."

Further conversation was cut short when the doors opened again, and Tahiri Veila entered, on the arm of Corran Horn. From the way the younger woman's face lit up at the sight of Jag, standing there in his black uniform, and the way he smiled back, it was obvious to Jaina they were going to be very happy.

"I can't wait to marry you," Kyp said softly. "I love you."

Jaina was sure she was grinning stupidly as Jag and Tahiri were married.

----------

Kyp pulled Jaina into his arms, his hands brushing the white fabric of her skirt. "You are so beautiful," he said softly.

She smiled,

 

They're married and it's so cute. Aw.

Valin/Sarisa! XD Valin's such an idiot. He's so fun.

and. . . I can't think of a decent enough reply. Um, I loved this story, I couldn't help the inappropriate comment (I was thinking of sand, too ) and there's going to be a sequel? So cool.

<3

 

::melts in mush::

Sarisa's line about Valin was great, and I also like Leia's remark when she saw Jaina standing in Kyp's arms.

djcati - They're married and it's so cute. Aw.

Valin/Sarisa! XD Valin's such an idiot. He's so fun.

Maybe. Not sure if I going to continue that.

and. . . I can't think of a decent enough reply. Um, I loved this story, I couldn't help the inappropriate comment (I was thinking of sand, too ) and there's going to be a sequel? So cool.

That "inappropriate comment" wasn't inappropriate. I found it highly amusing. Yes, there's gonna be a sequel.


Eowyn_Jade - ::melts in mush:: I love saying that! it means a stoy is awesome and yours definitley was

Thank you.

great job! I'll be on the lookout for the sequel when your mind ngets around to thinking it up

Late again! It's not my fault! I'm not allowed to use the computer til tomorrow!

I love the prettyful coupleness. K/J is still sweet.

Ventured his hands into territory best left unexplored

hee hee hee

Sequel! Loverly sequel! *waits impatiently*

 

awesome story

but there needs to be a sequel yes?

 

Kyp stood in front of her and held his arms out to either side. "Me," he said. "That's it. That's all you're getting. Every cell, every fiber of me. I swore to you here, Jaina, that you would never be without me, and I swear it again. Even if death should separate us for a time, I'm yours."

*sniffle* I wish someone would say that to me...cho chweet, Dana. Me loves it

I'm not going to ask for a sequel, because I don't know how you (or anyone) could write a sequel to this without it being not-quite-as-brilliant as this...but that just shows how good it is, IMHO. Great stuff, Dana dear.
