The party continued through the night, while outside the first drops of rain started to fall, indicating that it would be another rainy and cold night in the Capital of the Galaxy.
Right now, Luke and Ines were talking to Naluma Fau, the Senator of Naboo and with Admiral Ackbar, while Padmé and Ken were talking with the Mon Mothma.
"This is being a great night my friend," Padmé smiled at Mon, who was happy to talking to two of her old friends, since before the Empire take over years ago.
"Thank you. I'm glad that you two are here. For years I thought you were gone, and then with the news of the destruction of Alderaan, I was again devastated that I had just lost another great friends. So when I found out that you were alive all along, and then you also were alive in Naboo, I have to say it was the greatest news I could ever had."
"Thank you, my friend," Ken replied, and glaring at his daughter and son in law, he couldn't help to smile. "At least we knew they were near you."
"I saw the relationship of those two grew up over the years we were part of the rebellion. And I have to say I never saw something like that. The connection they share, to the point that even being in different places they could feel each other right away. Which I'm not surprise that they are together and still love each other just like years ago, and have 4 kids," Mon Mothma said with a smile looking at Luke and Ines.
"Well I don't think they will end with 4 kids," Padmé laughed.
"Really?"
"I believe sooner I will have two new grand kids, or granddaughters," Padmé replied at her.
"Well I'm not surprise if that happens, to be honest," Mon Mothma said. "Especially with Luke and Ines."
"Well they were meant to be together even before they were born," Ken said. "And I'm happy my daughter found a guy that loves her and do anything to make her happy and protect her. I couldn't ask for a better son in law in Luke. After all I saw his birth and knowing he and my, at the time, unborn daughter, would be together, I was happy I have to say."
"I didn't know Naboo and Alderaan also have the betrothal tradition like Chandrila," they heard behind them, as they realize Perrin, Mon husband was near them listening their conversation.
"They don't," Mon Mothma replied with a harsh tone, since she knew her husband very well.
"But I thought I heard that they," he said pointing at Luke and Ines. "Were meant to be together before they were even born."
"And you heard right, but it was not a betrothal thing. It is a different thing that we can't even explain the right away," Ken answered him.
"What do you mean?" Perrin insisted.
Glare at Padmé, Ken sighed.
"It was the Force will. As you know our kids and grand kids are force sensitive."
"Oh right, the Jedi thing," Perrin said taking a sip on his drink.
"Not all force sensitive people are Jedi," Padmé said, "But yeah normally the Force is kind of relate to the Jedi and the Jedi Order. So somehow the Force choose our kids to be together in the future."
"That's sound like a betrothal to me."
"It is not, because unlike a betrothal, Luke and Ines actually fell in love when they got together and got married. Something that I can't say the same thing when we got married," Mon said making Padmé and Ken looked at their drinks feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment with the tension that was built between Mon and Perrin.
