The driver just stopped in from of Luke and Ines building. Getting off from his seat, he waited until Luke and Ines got out of the vehicle. The night was getting colder, with a chilly wind, and the drops of rain started to be more frequently.

Luke looked at the driver, and taking some credits from his black pants, he handle to him.

"Here, as a thank you for your services."

The man looked at Luke's hand, and shock his head.

"Oh sir, thank you but I can't accept. I'm just doing my job."

"Please, accepted it. I will take personally if you don't," Luke insisted.

The man looked at him and then to Ines, who was rubbing her arms, since her dress was not made to stay outside in that cold weather and the drops of rain weren't help either.

"Please, we will feel bad if you don't," she told him.

With a nod, the man took the credits, and looking back at Luke he bow his head.

"Thank you Sir."

"Thank you," Luke replied.

As soon as the vehicle lift off and left, Luke took Ines hand and they both entered the building and then the elevator. They couldn't wait to be under the warm blankets of their bed.

Reaching the top level, they entered their home, and were surprised to see Ahsoka with a sleeping Alli near her.

"What happened?" Ines asked right away, reaching her daughter and make sure she didn't have a fever.

"Don't worry, she is fine. She just wanted to wait for her mama and papa to arrive, but as you can see, sleep was stronger than her," Ahsoka giggled, making Ines sighed in relieve and Luke couldn't help to giggled too.

"Well when she gets older and goes out with her friends, that will be us for sure," he replied.

"How are the others?" Ines asked. "I hope they didn't give you much trouble over the night."

"They were fine actually. I got more trouble with the adults, if you know what I mean," she answered. "But they are all in bed, except this one. Luke ate around midnight and now he is fast asleep."

"I will go check on them before going to bed," Ines nod.

"So how was the party?" Ahsoka asked.

"It was actually quite good. My mother and father in law are still there. We wanted to go home to be with the kids," Luke informed.

"It was an interesting party, until the end when Mon Mothma's husband decided to ask Luke for a possible betrothal between his grandsons and the our twins," Ines said right away, making Ahsoka gasped.

"He did what? How dare he?"

"I know right. He didn't even bother to ask me too, after all I was the one who cared them for 9 months inside me and had the pain to put them in this galaxy, but only Luke had something to say in the matter."

"Which I have to say, it was for the best," he said looking at Ines.

"You are right cause I would tell him to shove that proposal right in some place that I know," she replied making Ahsoka laughed.

"See," Luke laughed too.

Then they heard Alli called them.

"Mama! Papa! You're home already."

"Yes sweetie, we are home, and you should be in bed," Ines said kissing her daughter's forehead.

"I wanted to wait for you," Alli said.
