Star Wars: Cross Paths 2

Chapter 7 - Who is that?

Naboo:

The ships landed in Theed. Before heading to Varykino the moment they went to Naboo they decided to stop in Theed first to visit Leia's grandparents: Ruwee and Jobal Naberrie and also Leia wanted to put some flowers on her mother's tomb.

Once they left the ships, Alli was crying as she walked out of Dan ship.

"What happened?" Leia asked crouching in front of her niece, wiping her cheeks.

"I want... mama and... papa," the little girl said between sobs.

"Oh sweetie. Mama and Papa are having some time alone but they will return soon. Besides they will call us every day and you can see and talk to them."

The little girl continue to sobbing.

"Don't cwy," Ben said wrapping his arm around his sisters shoulder. "I let you pway with my toys. Here you can hold my X-Wing," he said giving his X-Wing to his sister to hold.

The little girl grabbed it and looked at his brother.

"Tank u," she said.

"See your brother is taking care of you," Gracy said smiling, when Padmé came and hugged her twin. "And your sister too."

"Come on, let's see grandpa and grandma okay," Leia said and they all head to the Naberries home.

***********************

The moment the reached the Naberries home, Prim opened the door and smiled at the site of them.

"So good to see all of you. Please come in," she said stepping aside, letting all of them to entered inside the house. "Ma'am, Sir they are here," she called.

A few moments later Jobal and Ruwee came and smiling they hugged them all.

"So happy to see you all," Ruwee said after hugging Han and then picked Bail. "Give grandpa a hug," he said as the kid hugged him. "You are getting so big. They all are," he said smiling.

"Yes they are. Time flies," Han said.

Jobal kissed Anakin and looking at Alli, she noticed the little girl had her face wet from the tears.

"Why are you crying? Come here to grandma," she said pulling the little girl, who was still holding her brother X-Wing, to sit on her lap. "What's wrong?"

"Awi miss uncwe Wuke and aun Ine," Bail informed her.

"Aww, you miss your mama and papa?" she said and then looked at the adults. "Where are Luke and Ines?"

"They left for their honeymoon," Dan informed her.

"That's right. They told they would go for a month," Jobal nod looking at her great granddaughter. She knew that Alli had a deep connection to her parents, especially to Luke, so she, from the 3, was the one who was missing them more.

"Don't cry sweetie. Mama and Papa will call you every day for sure and you will be able to see them. And when you less expected they will be home again. They are having some time alone," Ruwee said this time.

"Do wha?" Padmé asked her great grandfather.

Ruwee looked at her and clean his throat.

"Well, walking around, eating in restaurants, swimming at the beach. Those things that two married people do when they go on a honeymoon," he tried to explain to her, while the 3 years old girl just nod

"I ask for a bwother," Ben said.

"You did?" Jobal asked him

"Yes."

"Maybe you are lucky kid, I'm sure they will spend a lot of their time doing that type of activity," Han said.

"Han!" Leia looked at him

"What ativity uncle Han?" Ben asked him.

"When you get older your father will explain that to you," Han said winking at him, which made the 4 years old frown and remember him to ask his father what activity he was doing with his mother that had to do with him asking for a brother.

"How about we get some food. I asked Prim to do your sweets you love so much," Jobal said laughing when Bail and Anakin started to jump while clapping their hands. "Then come on."

And standing up they all went towards outside while the table was setting since the weather of Naboo was sunny and perfect for an outdoor meal.

*******************

After they have their meal the adults continue to sit by the table, while the kids were playing around, accept Alli who was still sad, and it was on the lap of her great grandmother, picking pieces of Shuura.

"So how long you will stay here this time?" Jobal said.

"Only for a month. We will get back to Coruscant in the first week of next month." Leia informed her grandmother

"How is everything here lately?" Gracy asked, while rocking her daughter who was fast asleep on her arms.

"Calm. The new Queen is actually doing a good job and very likable." Ruwee said.

"And how is aunt Sola and my cousins Ryoo and Pooja. It is being a long time we last saw them," Leia asked.

"Sola and Darred moved to Hosnian with the girls. Being a great a well known named architect, a company offered a job in that system. Hosnian is very similar with Coruscant, with those skyscraper and that was something that Darred always loved to do, so they decided to move." Jobal said.

"I bet you missed them," Gracy smiled.

"A lot. But we can talk to each other every week." Jobal smiled at them.

"Luke and Ines go to Hosnian for a week maybe they see them there," Dan said.

"They would love to see them," Jobal smiled. "When do you leave to Varykino?"

"Actually, we need to get going. But first I want to go the tomb of my mother to leave some flowers on my and Luke's behalf." she said standing up. "But we will visit you before we leave Naboo and you can go to Varykino to be with us."

"We will," she said and looked at her great granddaughter. "Give me a kiss."

Alli looked at her and wrapped her arms around her great grandmother and gave her kiss, making Jobal smile.

After hugging her other grandchildren and the Talias, alongside with Chewie and the droids, they all left towards Padmé's tomb.

When they reached the tomb and saw the statue in front of the mausoleum, Ani pointing at it

"Pwetty."

"Yes she was sweetie. Your grandmother was indeed very beautiful." and looking at her niece she said. "Your parents named you after her sweetie," she said making the little girl looked at her and then to the statue.

"Do you want us to wait here?" Han asked.

"I will not take long," Leia said.

As she was about to enter, a woman with a long dress and a cloak covering her head and face, came out of the Mausoleum and stopped all of the sudden when she saw the group.

"Pwetty," Bail said pointing at the lady.

Looking at the young kid, she smiled for a second and lowing her head, she left without saying a word.

"Hey excuse me," Leia called but the woman vanish at around the corner, leaving Leia surprise.

"Who was it and why did she acted like she saw a ghost?" Iris asked to her mother.

"Yeah, she liked she was being caught doing something bad," Ken nod.

"What is it?" Han asked walking towards his wife.

"I don't know, but that was strange," Leia said looking at spot she last saw that woman.

Who was she and why she ran away so quickly?

So the rest of the group arrived at Naboo and decided to visit the Naberries before heading to Varykino. Who was that woman that came out of Padmé tomb? And why she ran away so quickly?
