The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 20

A few days later, Armitage and I had settled into our large Coruscant home. We hadn't discussed the events of Bespin, until Armitage decided to ask me today.

"Hey, Jetta, how did you do that with the, um, the lightsaber?" He asked as we finished setting up our room.

"I have no idea," I said, collapsing on our bed. Armitage layed beside me and smiled.

"Well, I guess it's not important," he said. We both laid down for a while, looking at the ceiling.

"I'm not used to seeing you without armor," he said, turning his head and looking at me. I was wearing a casual green, sleeveless dress that fell to my ankles and my mythosaur necklace.

"I'm not used to seeing you in a color that's not black," I responded. He was wearing a maroon shirt, tan pants, and black boots.

"The first order only allows red and black," he said. I looked back over at my armor, currently residing on a mannequin, and shrugged.

"Yah, I figured that out," I said. "But you look better in these colors." He leaned on his elbow and looked into my eyes.

"You really think so?" He asked, playing with my hair. I had curled it, something Armitage really liked.

"Of course," I said. I propped myself up and kissed him. He then put his arms on either side of me, and touched his chest to mine, continuing to kiss me.

"Why do adults have to kiss like that?"

Armitage immediately shot up and looked at the door. I looked over too, and saw Rosemary staring at us, her hands on her hips and her foot tapping against the floor.

"Geez, I leave you two alone for five minutes and I come back to this? I'm gonna have to keep a sharper eye on you guys. Especially you, Huxie," she said.

"What did you just call me?" Armitage asked,,getting off the bed.

"What mom calls you," she stated.

"Hmm," he said, looking at me with a smirk.

"Mom? Can we explore Coruscant?" Rosemary asked.

"I don't know, Rose."

"Please!!!"

I looked at Armitage and he shrugged.

"Fine," I said. "I know a place we can eat. Let me get back in my armor."

"You don't have to wear it," she said as I stood up.

"I'd rather wear it," I responded. "Now, get out so I can change." Her face lit up and she ran out the door. I slipped out of my dress and began the complicated process of putting my armor on.

"Wow, no wonder you never take it off," Armitage said, looking at me.

"Don't look at me like that," I said.

"Why not?"

"Because I said so," I said, placing my chest plates in their proper position.

"Where is this good place to eat you mentioned?"

"Ever heard of Dex's Diner?" I asked, putting my helmet on.

"No."

"Well, it's a place where a lot of bounty hunters eat, so you'll be safe. I've eaten there hundreds of times. Unfortunately, the original owner died years ago; his nephew took over the place."

"Will Rosemary be safe there?" He asked as we walked out of the room.

"Of course. With a first order general and a first order bounty hunter watching over her, she'll be fine."
