Following tradition, Luke got the first dance. In place of the fathers that weren't here for Leia on such an important day, Luke was given all such fatherly honors. After Luke had his turn, Han came back to his beloved princess and swept her across the floor to their song.
Eighteen Months Later
Han kept his hands on her hips, supporting her so she wouldn't collapse. He listened to the sound of her heavy breathing as she danced through the pain. The radio was playing softly. Han had only turned it on in hopes of calming his wife. "How are they doing?" he asked, rocking her from side to side, foot to foot.
"I think we're getting close," Leia whispered, offering a smile.
"How are you feeling?"
"The contractions are getting closer together yet."
Han kneeled in front of her to kiss her enormous belly. "Hey, Jaina, Jacen. This is your daddy. Mommy and I are really excited about you guys coming out. We're super excited you guys are going to be outside with us now! We love you leaps and loads, kiddos!"
Leia laughed until another contraction hit. "Oh!"
"Hey," Han jumped up, holding her.
"Han," Leia began, nervously. "We need the doctor. They're coming!"
And, in the background, their song started over.
