A/N: WARNING SPOILERS for Obi Wan Kenobi

The night had arrived, and the Skywalkers just had finishing dinner. Just like they had inform Leia and Han, they decided to leave Ajan Kloss and go to Tatooine in 2 days, not only because they needed to talk to Boba and apparently the new Lord of Mos Espa, but also to spend some time there. Like they talked, it was time for their kids to see and live a little the life that their father had when he was their age.

Ines had just finishing cleaning the kitchen, with the help of her husband, while their kids were playing around, especially with their baby brother, who was having fun in his walker, pressing the buttons that it had and listen the many sounds of the galaxy.

Standing from the floor, Alli walked towards her mother.

"Mama!" she said grabbing her hand and shaking it.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"Will you continue the story?" the young girl asked looking at her mother.

"Please mother," Ben asked while pressing the buttons of his baby brother walker. "You promise."

"Yes, if we took our baths and eat dinner, you would tell us," Padmé nod from her spot on the floor.

"Pwease," Alli said pouting.

"They are right, please tell us more," Luke nod, joining his kids. He also wanted to know more.

Ines couldn't help but laugh and shaking her head, she sighed.

"Well then how about you all go to bed and I will tell you the continuation of mama's story!"

"Yes," the kids said and they all went to the twins bedroom, and the older kids got under the covers, ready for their mother.

Picking her baby, who looked at his siblings leaving and making him all alone, Luke looked at his wife.

"Well, never thought them going to bed so excited."

"If I knew, I would have tell them sooner," she said walking towards him and their baby and kiss her baby cheeks and then her husband lips. "Come on, cause I know you are just like your kids."

"You bet I am."

Laughing, they had to the twins bedroom and while Luke sat on the chair with their baby on his arms, Ines sat on the bed facing them.

"So where was I?" she asked.

"You were about to tell us how you and aunt Leia met Uncle Ben," Padmé said right away.

"Oh that's right. Okay, so, when we land in Daiyu, the kidnappers moved us to a cell underground the city planet," she started remembering that moment.

9 years BBY, Daiyu

Ines had her ear closer to the door. She knew she heard some commotion outside, like someone was fighting.

"I think someone is coming," she said looking at Leia.

"Maybe are the bad guys," Leia said looking around.

"Grab that. When the door opens, you hit the guy on the stomach, while I grabbed his arm, and then you can run away."

Leia looked at her best friend.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me. You are the one who need to escape. It was you they wanted to kidnap in the first place, not me," Ines replied. "Just do what I say. Hurry."
