Echoes of the Past (NJO, Jaina/Jag, post DW) - Love Letter Challenge Entry 02/24/04

Yeah...they were all from other people...so you can't blame me for how they looked...

 

Nice pics Zara! Maybe I should have chosen something a little less green where I wasn't buried under a Kevlar helmet and flak jacket

 

Grr, my last message got stuck at the bottom of the previous page. A quick recap says I stopped by the cantina with pics.

 

TSL: my lightsaber is purple...I know not original but hey!

BTW- I love how Sam Jackson thinks he is so original for asking for a purple lightsaber for Mace Windu but the Jaina had a purple lightsaber before that, didn't she? Take that Mace!

Wraiths - I love the pics in the Cantina!

I was getting worried when Shinar couldn't get in, I thought she would blow up the internet...

Zara did you ever wrestle down those two troublemakers and get their plans. I am getting nervous. As long as you have things under control, I won't worry.

 

Morning!

 

Good Morning!

 

GOOD MORNING!

This post goes out to LJS for sending me her story directly so I can cheat and catch up. I started it and it's great!

Posts away!


The beeping of the comm unit continued incessantly for a minute, wafting up the stairwell, demanding to be answered. Jaina figured Syal must have gone out to the hothouse and did not hear the noise. Jaina was firmly ensconced on the floor, packing clothes for their impending move to the city the next day. It had become increasingly difficult to get up and down, but soon the sound became so aggravating she could stand it no longer.

With some effort and the aid of the Force, Jaina?s protesting muscles heaved her upright. The result was a sharp protest from her back muscles to which Jaina slapped her hand as she muffled a cry. The beeping continued. So after a couple of seconds passed and the protesting back muscles relaxed, Jaina waddled out of the bedroom.

The trip down the stairs was slow and laborious. Once at the bottom, she would have rested but the chime of the comm beacon drove her to make the last few steps across the foyer and into the study. Jaina plopped unceremoniously into the seat at the console and pushed the answer button. When Soontir?s distinctive one-eyed face popped onto the screen, Jaina stifled her disappointment. She had hoped all the effort would at least result in a call from Jag.

?Jaina, I am sorry to disturb you. I was hoping Syal would answer.?

Jaina smiled sweetly to ease the man?s concern about inconveniencing her. ?I think she is giving her flowers their last bit of loving before the droids take over. Do you want me to fetch her??

?No, absolutely not. I was calling to tell the both of you Jag and I will be late getting home. Vanguards were testing some new improvements to their cloaking devices when one of the fighters malfunctioned. They are in the process of bringing it in now by tractor beam, but it is slow going.?

Jaina frowned. ?I can imagine. Was anyone hurt??

?No.?

?That?s good. I?ll tell Syal to hold dinner for later.?

Soontir shook his head side-to-side once. ?Please, you two go ahead and eat without us. Your husband will have a fit if he thinks you missed a feeding.? Jaina leaned back in her seat and started to laugh. A small fluttering in the pit of her gut stymied the response as her hand rubbed her swollen stomach nervously. Concern washed across the general?s normally stern features. ?Is everything all right??

Jaina perched back in her seat. ?The baby was agreeing on the idea of not missing her scheduled feeding. Tell Jag not to push too hard to get home. I will probably go to bed after dinner anyway.?

?Tired??

One corner of Jaina?s mouth turned down. ?Exhausted.?

Soontir forced a tiny smile. ?I will deliver your husband home safely to you, my dear. I won?t keep you any longer. Get some rest.?

Jaina smiled ruefully. It was a well-known fact that she had not slept well in the last couple of days. Unfortunately her moods had been the best testament to that fact. At the moment though her mood had swung to excessively sentimental and not at all harsh like it tended to be. Something about the depth of the Baron?s feelings toward her warmed her to the core. She appreciated everything Soontir had done for her, especially after the shaky start they had experienced. Even more so, the amazing bond that had developed over the last months between Jag and his father overwhelmed Jaina. That bond had seemed to trickle her way in the form of a completely boundless love.

In that moment Jaina responded. ?Bye, Dad.?

After the words were out they felt right. It was the first time Jaina had bestowed Soontir with the honor, and though he would never replace her father, Jag?s father had become an irreplaceable part of her life. Syal and Soontir had accepted her like a daughter, and Jaina had learned to love them like an adopted family.

Soontir beamed an uncharacteristic toothy grin before ending the transmission. Apparently the moment wa

 

?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time.

Oh my goodness!

That will ensure I stay in a good mood the rest of the day and I don't blow anything up. Well, at least I won't blow anything up cause I'm mad

 

Yippie, the baby is coming soon

It´s really nice to see that Jaina and the Fels are are getting closer and closer and becoming more and more a family.

?But if you are right, then I would have gotten pregnant practically right after the wedding.?

Syal winked mischievously as she gently patted Jaina?s swollen belly through the blanket. ?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time.

OMG, That´s our Jag

~Arissa

 

Good Morning

?Please, you two go ahead and eat without us. Your husband will have a fit if he thinks you missed a feeding.?

Hehe Jag is one overprotective husband .

?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time... "

Haha that line is even better.

And Jaina calling Soontir "Dad". priceless

 

"Dad"

Yay! Oh, Han's going to have a fit over this . . .

Astro

 

Awww! That was great. I loved the 'Dad' part. Momentous for both of them, I think, especially after their rocky start.

Oh, Zara? There's two schemes being worked out. One, I will PM details to you directly after I've heard back from the XO, the other is a surprise.

 

?Bye, Dad.?

After the words were out they felt right. It was the first time Jaina had bestowed Soontir with the honor, and though he would never replace her father, Jag?s father had become an irreplaceable part of her life.

The Jaina/Baron moment was so sweet. I love it when tough guys soften up.

?But if you are right, then I would have gotten pregnant practically right after the wedding.?

Syal winked mischievously as she gently patted Jaina?s swollen belly through the blanket. ?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time.

Yep, that's Jag. Syal knows her son all too well. It's also wonderful to see how comfortable the two women are with each other.

BTW, what's Endwa, seems to be a favorite with everyone.

There are some interesting food stuffs in the SW world. I remember in FH1 they were snacking on raw pointer fish cutlets and recently someone was eating raw hawkbat - yum. Sorry I'm in a rambling mood this morning.

 

Yeay!!! The baby's coming soon!!

Bye Dad,
OMG!!! I loved that! She made his day!

?But if you are right, then I would have gotten pregnant practically right after the wedding.?

Syal winked mischievously as she gently patted Jaina?s swollen belly through the blanket. ?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time. Now shut your eyes and rest. I will come get you when dinner is ready.?

Just like Syal. She must know her son very well. lol. Loved that part! Can't wait til the next postie!! Bbay's coming soon!! *skips and sings that out of the thread*

 

These people seem to like their food raw, don't they? I think Endwa is a Corellian dish, possibly spicy. I also think that Chewie was partial to it, though that may have just been a fanfic I read once.

That baby's going to be born in a blizzard, isn't she?

Okay, TSL, I'll wait for the PM.

 

Jaina calling Soontir was so sweet...I'm sure it made Soontir and Syal love her even more.

And as for the last line...I will be laughing my head off all day long.

~Rogue

 

Oooooo, there's mischief going on? *perks up* I'm home for the rest of the day, can I help??

Liked the Legacy preview, noticed the similarity to Jag's dream. So he does jump in and save her right? Oh, and I'm admitting that I was wrong about the name

 

?But if you are right, then I would have gotten pregnant practically right after the wedding.?

Syal winked mischievously as she gently patted Jaina?s swollen belly through the blanket. ?That would be my son. He always gets everything done right the first time. Now shut your eyes and rest. I will come get you when dinner is ready.? [face_shocked]!!! ohhh, man, too funny!

And when Jaina called Soontir 'Dad' - that was so sweet! I loved how both Syal and he beamed at that, and I can feel the love in the Fel family

another excellente postie, TKL! Can't wait for that baby to come!

 

I have replies but first pics up in Cantina!

 

Dude, I'm definatley voting for Rane for OC! I didn't even think of that!

Cute post! I loved that little bit with Jaina and Soontir In that moment Jaina responded. ?Bye, Dad.? So sweet! Syal's wonderful!

The baby's coming soon, eh? Can't wait! I just hope Jag's there to see it! (somehow I can't shake the feeling that he's going to be stuck in some meeting or something and miss the whole thing! [face_shocked] Wouldn't that be terrible! )

Is it too soon to ask for more?

 

Dang, I wish I had read your offer to help before I was finished with most of the preperations Shinar.

But don´t worry, the plan requires help from all Wraiths to work properly

And the second plan even more, but not as soon as plan one

~Arissa

 

Yay! Baby! baby! baby! Oh I can't wait.



-Vicster

 

Shinar: great line, huh?

Legacy preview ? yes, there is a hint of the dream there?

Arissa: it is fun to see the Solo-Fel family evolve

Chimpo: making the step from in-law to Mom and Dad is momentous!

astro: Han?s going to have a fit over this actually Leia is the one in Legacy who has a hard time dealing with it.

TSL: momentous ? see what I said to Chimpo ? great minds must think alike

red: endwa is like our beef I think

J&J: Jag is a momma?s boy at heart

ZR: no raw food ? yuck!

Blizzard ? what ever makes you say that?

rogue11: great line, huh?

jags_gurl: baby?s coming

ok, Jag redeemed himself and got a little suspicious about Tahiri, good for him!

Jaina ? what were you thinking crashing like that? She should just take up residence in the medward permanently

Jacen ? you are the man, although I prefer Mara and Jaina?s method better, kick butt first ask questions later. Zonama Sekot is testing Jacen all along. He passes of course, but surprise the planet comes to the Jedi party as none other than Vergere and a teenage Anakin Skywalker, who happened to go to the famed planet with Obi-wan as a child ( do I see the makings of another book? ? I?d bet money on that one)

Tahiri ? I like the joint Tahiri/Riina but I think Tahiri fans won?t. She?s not the same girl ? kind of scary actually

Danni ? the authors figured it out, they knocked her out for the whole story, she?s bearable that way!

Off to type Chapter 39!

 

making the step from in-law to Mom and Dad is momentous!

Maybe. I don't care.

He passes of course, but surprise the planet comes to the Jedi party as none other than Vergere and a teenage Anakin Skywalker, who happened to go to the famed planet with Obi-wan as a child ( do I see the makings of another book? ? I?d bet money on that one)

Haven't you read Rogue Planet ??? It was there. ( I think it was that book )

Jaina crashed - Nothing new.

I'm going sleep. I'm tired, mad, sleepy and Wanting to kick someone's a**. ( don't worry - not you).

Goodnight

 

Didn't you mention new pics in the cantina?


















Spoilers for Reunion***********************






Ok, I found it at Walmart today and did the fastest scan on record (did the whole book in half an hour, Hoah ). Got the gist of what was going on. Good Lord have mercy, Sekot-as-Anakin using "wizard" was just tramatizing. Isn't everything they are refering to in "Rogue Planet"? Damn, I was hoping I wouldn't have to read that.

The Tahiri/Riina thing just seemed wrong. It was a little too perfect, if you know what I mean
