Ines was holding Luke outside the hut. The baby looking around with his big blue eyes, sucking his green pacifier, resting his little head on his mother cheek, while she slowly rocked him, while pointing everywhere, and to the creature who flew around once in a while.

They arrived a few hours ago, and after taking the tea that Luke gave to her, Alli had fall asleep.

Never being in Dagobah before, Ines decided to look around with her baby son, while her sweet girl was finally sleeping peacefully and she knew that would only happened because they were closer to Luke again.

R2 was around them. She clearly notice that the little droid missed them and she missed him too.

The little droid beeped, and baby Luke looked at the droid and smiled, pointing his little finger at him

"Aww sweetie, yes that is R2. Our dear R2." she said kissing his little cheek.

Luke babble making Ines holding her baby closer to her even more.

"At least I have a Luke Skywalker that will always love me right?" she asked him, smiling when the little boy looked at his mother and rest his hands on her cheek, making her laugh at that.

Luke came out of the hut and stood at the door watching Ines talking to their baby. He couldn't help to smile at the scene and for the first time admiring Ines.

He notice at her, how her long brown hair was falling down her back. How her suit reveal her slim body. A body that he had for sure, but sadly he didn't remember and that made him upset. But one thing he realize and deep inside he didn't want to admit to himself, but he really wish he could have that body.

Was he falling in love with Ines? He missed her since he came back to Dagobah and when she arrived, he was happy that she was there.

He really wanted to remember everything he had with her and with their kids.

Ines noticed him and walked towards him.

"Hey, how is she?" she asked.

"I think she is feeling better. Her fever is going down too." he informed, making Ines sighed in relieve.

"I knew that coming here was the best option."

"Were you able to contact Coruscant?"

"Yes. They were happy to know that we arrived safely here and that you are okay too, even if you didn't remembered everything yet"

"I feel that I will get it better." he said and looked at his son, when the baby started to whimp and started to grabbed Ines suit. "I guess he wants to eat"

"Oh yes. This little fella loves to eat. Right my little love," she said kissing his forehead.

"Let's get inside then." Luke told her and they all entered inside the hut.

Ines sat down and while Luke sat neat Alli's bed, and she started to pulled the zip down, revealing her left breast, so she could breastfeed their baby, who happily started to suck, calming down once his little stomach was getting full.

The moment she did that, Luke looked away, making Ines noticed that and she couldn't help to giggled at the way he did that.

"What?" he asked looking back at her.

"Why did you look away when I unzipped my suit?"

"Well, out of respect. After all you were showing your breast, and I didn't think it was proper to look at it"

Ines couldn't help to laughed at that statement, making Luke frown at her, not understanding why she was laughing.

"I'm sorry Luke, I didn't mean to mock you, but it is cute that you did that when you are tired of seeing my breasts and actually you already saw them and actually touched them a lot. So you don't need to look away on something you know and saw for the past 6 years"

"I know. We have kids so I'm sure they didn't appear out of nowhere. But still I don't remember that. Sadly enough"

"Sadly." she said looking at him.

"Yes sadly. I had you, a beautiful and amazing woman and I don't remember. So of course it is sad. I wish I could"

"Well you can have me any time. We are married after all"

Luke looked at her.

"I know, but I don't know if I can do that. Being with a person that way, for me it has to be an act of love."

"And love is something you don't feel about me." she said looking down at their baby who was still sucking.

"I don't know. My head is still so confuse.." he said looking at Alli, while running his right hand on her hair, happy to see she was not warm anymore. "How are the other kids?" he asked after a while.

"They are okay, if you can call okay being away from their parents."

"And the others. Han and Leia?"

"They are fine. They all miss you, that's for sure. And soon the students, the new ones but also the old ones are about to arrive to Coruscant, at the end of the month. You need to be there Luke. So far Ahsoka will take care of everything"

"I know. And I'm glad Han and Leia are fine. I still can believe those too ended together after the constantly bickering between them." he giggled, remembering the time Han and Leia met each other in the Death Star.

"Well they were meant to be together. You know, Han can be annoying but he is a great guy. A great husband and father. It is nice to have him around"

"Hard to believe that you two are getting so well too after all you always bickered too when we got together in the Falcon back in Tatooine when we were heading to Alderaan" he said.

The moment he said that, he and Ines looked at each other.

"What did you say?" she asked him

"I remembered the day we met. It was in Mos Eisley and we were heading to Alderaan and we all end up in the Death Star. I remember you Ines"

"But not what we had. I mean our relationship. Do you remember something?" she asked.

Luke tried to remember anything but still nothing.

"No." he replied shaking his head. "Only that I remember the events. You were a great fighter, the way you fought those storm troopers. That was pretty hot"

Ines giggled and look at him

"Well I taught how to fight so you are pretty hot too when you fight." she said.

"At least my memory is getting back. I remember you, and I know sooner or later I will remember about us and our kids. I know. After all I already love these kids. When you arrived and told Alli was sick, I knew that something was happening because I felt your anguish and pain"

"You know when you picked up her Alli and said to her that Papa was here, it was like the old Luke was back again."

"It will be back again Ines. I believe in the Force and I know that I will remember"

"What if you don't. What is going to happen? About us?" she asked the question that she fear to ask him. Maybe because she fear the to listen the answer.

Luke looked at her and looking down at their baby, who was sucking her left breast but started to close his little eyes. Smiling at him he looked at Ines.

"I will not leave you and the kids."

"Really?"

"I can't abandoned this adorable kids and I already like so much." he said. "Even if I don't remember them."

"What about me?"

"Who knows. Maybe we can start all over again." he said leaning forward, right about to kiss her when Alli called him

"Papa, Mama."

"Hey, we are here." he said going closer to her, while Ines smile.

He was right. The force made them together in the first place, she knew it would make that again because one thing she knew, never going against the force wish.

Luke already remembers Ines and how they met and clearly his feelings are coming back little by little. Do you think he finally will get his memory fully again?
