Star Wars Post-TLJ Short Stories

Suu Leh-Lawquane and the Secret

This story starts three months after The Last Jedi ended, 34ABY.

Despite being late into the evening, Gwren Leh-Lawquane was still in the fields of her farm on Felucia when she saw the x-wing approach. She had been checking on a pregnant Eopie who had decided to lie down in the middle of her nysillin field and her droid farmers were having difficulties doing there job because of this, Gwren could not get the stubborn Eopie to movie either and gave up when she saw the ship.

"Those nerfherders!"

Gwren knew that Felucia was Resistance sympathetic, and she had heard of the massacre of the Hoznian system by the First Order some months back, but she did not like the soldiers acting like they could do anything they wanted in the name of saving the galaxy and she did not want them bringing the war to her farm. She ran back to her farm house where the x-wing was landing in a clearing. As the ships engines quieted and the hatch opened she started yelling at the pilot she couldn't yet see.

"You stupid nerfherder! This is private property, my property, what make you think you can land here! I don't want your stupid war on my farm!"

The pilot emerged from the ships cockpit and Gwren realized her mistake. The pilot wore a helmet, but light red Lekku hung from the back making the pilot almost unmistakable.

"Oh, it's you. Suu, you idiot, I always suspected you joined that stupid army, but I really didn't think it was true. What were you thinking!"

Suu took off her helmet and climbed down the ladder. This was the first time in five years Gwren had seen her sisters face, and she didn't want to see her face after how she abandoned her to be a mechanic with her father, which clearly now was a lie. She looked about the same as always, her red face was simple but much prettier then Gwren's, her pointed ears made her stand out from almost any other female Twi'lek, but she also seemed different, her face was slightly more full and she let her human eyebrows actually grow.

"Gwren, I'm not here to start a fight, but I'm not here to apologize either."

As she walked to her she started to unzip her baggy orange flightsuit.

"Than why are you here."

"I, um, I need your help, I couldn't go to dad for this, I um."

"You need MY help, you have some nerve, you left when I needed your help, I wanted to start a new life on this world and all I had was you but than you left and I had to do it all on my own, so what makes you think I'd help yo-"

Gwren could not finish however because the answer had just because quite apparent. Suu had finished unzipping her flightsuit and was now stepping out of it, revealing her much more formfitting clothes underneath which showed off her swelled belly.

"Suu, you're pregnant. Okay, okay, come inside, it's late."

"Thanks, we really need to talk."

They went inside and Gwren brought Suu some leftovers from her supper. The house was made from a bunch of random materials like ship hulls and wood, but just like there grandmothers place it held together just fine. It was small, two bedrooms on the second floor, and on the first there was only the kitchen, and a bath, as well as a cellar, that was it. As she entered the kitchen Suu realized there was only one chair at the table, the one she was sitting on.

"What happened to Illza, I thought she was moving in when I left?"

"She did, we were happy, then we weren't, she left over a year ago, I was with a Kyuzo named Dirgo, they left a while ago, you've been gone a long time."

"I'm sorry for not keeping contact. I'd like to say I didn't stay in contact solely to protect you from my job, but that'd be a lie. We had a fight, we were both hurt, and I didn't know how to start over with you, I'm sorry about that."
