A/N: WARNING spoilers for Obi Wan Kenobi

Ines was looking at her children. This time they were sitting on Ben's bed, while the night started to fall outside.

Luke was holding his baby, who fell asleep in his arms a few minutes ago. He and Ines decided he would sleep with them that night, in case the fever would return. But so far he was feeling better.

"Mama," Padmé started. "What happened after uncle Ben rescued aunt Leia?"

"Well, we had to Jabiim, where from there, we were supposed to return to Alderaan. But we found some big problems."

"What do you mean sweetheart?" Luke asked her.

Ines looked at her husband and sighed.

"Apparently that Reva Inquisitor, put something on Lola. We believe it was a tracking device, because they were there after a while. Besides it made Lola sabotage the roof, which made us impossible to leave."

"Then how did you get out?" Ben asked his mother.

"Well first when we arrived, we found a lot of people there. They were also waiting to leave into a safer place. Including an old face we met in Daiyu," she started.

Flashback

Jabiim, 9 BBY

Once they left the ship, right after it landed on Jabiim, they saw a familiar face.

"Look is that guy?!" Ines said looking at Ben.

"Haja? What are you doing here?" Ben asked him the moment they approached him.

"I had nowhere else to go. Right after I saw you, I got into a fight with that scary Lady Inquisitor. Now I'm wanted by the Empire." he explained to them.

"Sorry to hear that," Ines said to him.

"Well, now I know what it feels like being a real Jedi. It is not easy," he said looking around. "This place is a good business opportunity though."

"Seriously!" Ines said and without warning she kicked him, making Haja looked at her with a question look. "This is for you stop using other people problems in your advantage. You look like the Empire, right now. Stop it." and the 10 years old walked away.

"I will feel sorry for the guy who married that one," he said rubbing his leg.

"You don't need to worry about that, they will love each other more than you think," Ben said and walked away.

"You really did that to the poor guy?" Luke told his wife smirking at her.

"Or course. He was hunted by the Empire, like the people who were there, and he still was thinking to scamming them. I did what it came to my head. I kicked him."

"Can I do that?" Padmé asked.

"Absolutely not, young Lady." Ines said to her.

"But you did it," Alli replied.

"It was for a good reason and I'm your mother," she giggled at her.

"That is a lame excuse," Alli said shaking her head, making Luke laughed at his daughter remark.
