It was around 1800 hours, and Luke was in the living room, fully dress for Mon Mothma party that night. While Ines was in her bedroom getting ready, he was there watching over his kids, who were already in their pajamas after taken their bath, waiting for Ahsoka, who would be watching over them, while they were in the party.
Leaving R2 with the kids, he went inside and entering in his bedroom, he smiled watching Ines, who was still on her robe and with her hair already done, putting her make up and the perfume he loved so much.
The moment she saw him, she smiled.
"What?"
Luke approached her smiling too.
"I was just thinking how I'm so lucky to have such a gorgeous woman as my wife," he winked at her.
"Well maybe I'm the lucky one too," she said making him take her lips into his in a deep kiss.
After pulling apart Ines looked at him.
"How are the kids?"
"In the living room, watching the screen. Ben want to watch a new animation series that will premiere today called The Clone Wars."
"He is being talking about that all day. To be honest it is something I liked to watch to see what happened during that time that our parents were there. Do you think they will show my father?" Ines wondered.
"Well your father was Bail Organa right hand, so I'm sure he will be. I really wanted to watch too. But tomorrow we will watch together with the kids."
Then they heard the door beeped and Ahsoka voice was heard.
"I better go to the living room talk to her," Luke said and left Ines getting ready, he went to the living room where Ahsoka was talking to the kids.
"Are you going to be here with us?" Padmé asked looking at her.
"Yes, I will be your babysitter for tonight. So you better behave," she smiled at the twins and looked at Ben. "What about you buddy? What are you watching?" she asked looking at the screen.
"Nothing much, but in 20 minutes it will premiere The Clone Wars series and I want to watch it," the young boy said making Ahsoka nod.
"Oh right, it is tonight. Then we will watch together, how about that?"
"Cool," Ben said high five her.
"We will watch too," the twins said at the same time.
"Of course. Hey maybe grandpa Anakin and Uncle Ben will appear and watch with all of you," Luke said looking at his kids who jumped happily with the idea. Even the baby clap on his walker.
"Where is Ines?" Ahsoka asked Luke.
"She is getting ready. If you want to go and talk to her, she is in our bedroom putting the dress my mother bought for her."
"I guess I will check on her," Ahsoka said and walked towards Ines and Luke bedroom, where Ines had just finished putting the dress that Amidala had bought for her, a gold sequin dress with a cape.
Ines's dress:
"Wow, Padmé was right, you look gorgeous in that dress," Ahsoka said making Ines look at her and smiled back.
"I have to say, it is very beautiful," she replied looking at her reflection in the mirror, then walking to the desk in the room, she grabbed the earrings that Luke gave to her on their wedding anniversary and put it on, looking back at Ahsoka. "I was sad that you are not coming too."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ahsoka just shrug her shoulders.
"I'm not a big fan of those type of parties and especially wearing fancy dresses. I prefer to fight, to be honest." Ahsoka said making Ines turn and looked at her friend.
"I understand very well," she replied to her with a laugh. "Do you think I was like this all of my life? No way. I too prefer being dirty and fight than parties and dresses. Every time I had to wear dress when I was young, it was a nightmare and I hated."
"Really cause it is hard to believe looking at you now."
"Well that's because a certain guy by the name Luke Skywalker came into my life and I don't mind to look beautiful, especially for him." she winked making Ahsoka laughed.
"Oh I see. So you like to look good for your husband."
"Of course. He is all that matters. Trust me, when you love someone from the bottom of your heart, deep inside you want to look good so he can't take his eyes off of you."
Ahsoka nod.
"I understand what you mean."
Ines frown at that statement.
"You understand?! There was a guy back in the days, wasn't it?" she asked sitting next to her.
Ahsoka looked at her and with a shy smile she nod making Ines gasped.
"Who was he?"
"His name was Lux Bonteri. He was from Onderon."
"How did you meet him?"
"His mother, Mina Bonteri was a Senator but on the separatist side. But she was a great friend of your mother in law, so we went to his planet so Padmé could talk to her. And that is when we first met."
"What happened to him?"
"His mother was killed by Dooku and he wanted revenge, so we met a few times after that. He had the bright idea to join the Death Watch to get Dooku."
"I know those guys. Din was raised by them." Ines nod remember that story when they met Din for the first time.
"Well they were crazy. Especially they were our enemies, so we end up in their group, so I couldn't say I was a Jedi so he had the brilliant idea to say I was his fiancé and well he was my first kiss." She said making Ines gasped.
"Oh Ahsoka. That is so sweet."
"Well it was strange, but then he join the a group of rebels, that we taught how to fight, Saw Guerrera and his sister Steela to get the rightful King of Onderon to get back on the throne. And when I fail to save Steela I felt guilty, especially because I knew something was going on between them. The way they looked at each other and talked to each other."
"I'm sorry," Ines said grabbing her friend's hand. "I know the feeling. Luke dated other girls before we end up together and every time I saw him with them, kissing them, it pained me so much. My heart was broken."
"I'm sorry to hear that too. But you two are together, have beautiful kids and Luke is crazy about you. Me on the other hand..."
"You don't know what happened to him?"
"No really. I don't know if he is alive or not."
"Well if he is alive, who knows, maybe your paths will crossed again and you can finally be happy with him," Ines smiled making Ahsoka smiled back a her.
"Well let me get finished cause I don't want to make everyone wait for me," Ines said standing up.
What do you think of Ines dress? And do you think Ahsoka and Lux will see each other again?
