Star Wars: Cross Paths 2

Chapter 90 - Seeing the Grandparents

The ships landed in the Theed Hangar, and Ines came out of hers holding Luke on her right arm and grabbing Alli's right hand, that the moment she saw her father coming out of his X-Wing, she let go and ran towards him, smiling when he picked up and kissed her cheek.

Since Luke gained his memory back, Alli didn't want to let go her father for a while and Luke didn't mind that.

R2 touched the ground and beeped, making Alli looked at her droid friend and then back to her father.

"Is Atoo jealous?"

Luke laughed at that statement.

"Well it liked to be center of attention too." he said looking down at his droid. "Right?"

R2 beeped again.

Putting Alli on the grown, the little girl walked towards it and hugged the little droid

"I wobe you too Atoo." she said.

"Is R2 jealous?" Ines said approaching them and seeing her daughter hugging the droid, she giggled at the scene.

"Yup." Luke said and looked around. "Well it is nice to see buildings and some technology for once"

Ines laughed at that.

"I believe that. I spent only days in there and it was a little depressed. It is difficult to imagine Master Yoda living there and all alone." she said. "But one thing I know for sure, your grandparents will be very happy to see you and know that you are back to normal."

"What is that suppose to mean?" he said smiling at her.

"You know what I mean. That the old Luke is back, the one who I married and have children with. The one who remembers everything we went through and who loves everyone. Including them"

"I know. And I'm glad that I'm back, so to speak." he kissed her and grabbing their luggage they head to their home. "It is the first time we will spend a few days in their home. Including your birthday." he said while they walked back to the Naberries home.

"I still feel sad that we weren't able to be in Coruscant in time for my birthday and we have to celebrate without out other two kids." she said sighing.

"I know, but they are great kids and they understood. Besides when we are all together we will have a special dinner with them, to compensate them" he said.

After a few minutes of walk, they finally reached the Naberries house. Alli climbed the stairs right away and knock on the door.

"Gweatgandpa! Gweatgandma!"

The door opened and Yuri appeared and once she saw them she smiled happily.

"Look who arrived? Come in please. They are waiting for you already." she said and stepping aside they all entered, at the same time Jobal and Ruwee came into the room.

The moment Alli saw her great grandfather she ran towards him.

Picking her up, the old man smiled.

"Hey. My goodness you are getting so big." he said looking at the little girl, who wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm 4 now."

"I know." he giggled.

Jobal walked towards her grandson and hugged him.

"I'm so happy to see you all again and this time you're spending some time in our house." she said and pulling apart, she looked at Ines who had little Luke on her arms, who looked at the woman in front of him for the first time.

"Hey. Finally I have the chance to meet you in person. Come to your great grandmother?" she said calling him, picking him as the baby kept looking at her sucking his pacifier. "You are so cute and adorable."

"Like me.." Alli said making Ruwee laughed.

"Cocky." Luke said to his daughter. Looking at his grandmother he smiled. "I'm happy to be here and thank you for allowing us to stay here for a couple of days."

"Hey, it is a pleasure and you are family. Besides your mother told us that you recovered and that Ines Birthday is in two days, so we were very happy." Ruwee said to him.

"We were so happy to know that you got your memory back, dear," Jobal said rocking Luke who was focus on his great grandmother necklace, just like his older sister loved to do.

"I'm happy too." Ines said. "And it will be a pleasure to celebrate my birthday here for the first time."

"The pleasure is ours and to spend a few more time with these two." Jobal said looking at her new great grandson. "So sad Ben and Padmé aren't here too"

"I know. I miss them." Ines sighed

"But we will do a special thing when we get back"

"They deserve it. But let me show you your rooms." Jobal said and she let them inside.

Meanwhile in Yavin 4:

Thrawn, Gideon, Joruus C'baoth and some of this troopers and officers, were looking at the collapsed entrance of the Sith Temple.

"Are you sure the entrance was not like that?" Thrawn asked to the Jedi, who like him was surprised to see the damage on the entrance.

The way they found it, it was impossible to get inside, at least during that day. They would had to find another entrance and that could take days and still they wouldn't know if the inside was collapsed too.

"I'm sure."

"Maybe it got attacked during the Galactic War." Gideon said looking at both of them.

"No. Someone was here. Someone knew about the device and came here before us and took it." Thrawn said looking at the Temple.

He had that feeling since they found the Temple like that and deep inside he knew who was it.

"But how? How did they found about this? And if they got it, that also means that they probably already went for the crystal." Joruus said.

"But maybe they weren't able to find it. Does that crystal reveals itself to the true ruler of the Galaxy?"

"Exactly. That is why I know they got it. For sure. Or they wouldn't go after it." Thrawn and turn to them he continue. "But most important, is how they knew about this? And who is the true ruler?"

Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Who ever it is, I want him or her."

"So what do we do know. If they got the crystal, they are ahead of us for sure." Joruus said to him.

"We gather allies. Strong allies."

"And then what?" Gideon asked.

"We got after them. Full attack" he said before leaving being followed by everyone, only leaving one StormTrooper alone, thinking that it is time to leave and find his friend Ahsoka.

Luke and Ines arrived at Naboo where they will spend Ines 29th birthday and where something will change Ines and her older brother's life.
