The morning came cloudy and very cold. Since it was weekend, many families and people were at their homes and apartments, where it was warm.

The Skywalkers were no different. Around 9 am, after they all woke up, Luke and Ines decided to spend the morning at home. They want to re watch the first episodes of the The Clone Wars on the screen, that they weren't able to watch because of Mon Mothma party, and they promised they would do that the next morning with their kids. And that was what they did.

Luke and Ines decided that after the kids nap, after lunch, they would go to Leia and Han's apartment to talk about the party, but also to check their nephew/godson Anakin, and to see how the little kid was doing and if he was feeling better.

4 in the afternoon

The Skywalkers were heading to the Leia and Han's apartment, two levels below theirs, not only because they want to check on their nephew, but also they want to tell about the party and also show what Mon Mothma gave to Luke the previous night, and see it with them.

The moment they entered inside the apartment, they were greet my 3PO who had opened the door for them.

"Oh Master Luke! Mistress Ines! Good afternoon. It is so good to see you, especially in this cold weather we are getting lately."

Ines smiled at the protocol droid. 3PO would never change that was for sure.

"You are right. It is cold. How are they?" Luke asked tapping 3PO on the shoulder and looking inside the home.

"General Solo and Mistress Leia are in the living room with the twins and miss Iris," he replied stepping aside, while they all walked in, leaving 3PO with R2, the two friends always had something to talk when they were together.

The moment they entered in the living room, the girls ran towards Han and Leia, who smiled when they saw them.

"Hey look who is here?" Han said, looking at his nieces who sat on the couch near him.

"We came here to see how Anakin is?" Padmé said looking at him and then to Anakin who was sitting on the other couch eating a slice of bread with cheese.

The moment he saw his uncle and aunt alongside his cousins, he smiled at them.

"Well I see someone is feeling better," Luke said stroking his nephew blond hair.

"Yes he is. The fever is finally gone," Leia said, covering Bail with the blanket, while Luke and Ines sat down too with Ben.

The moment they did it, baby Luke started to whimp, clearly wanted to go to the floor. Putting the baby down, he crawl towards Chewie, who picked him growling happily, making the baby smile while drooling all over his bib while still sucking his pacifier.

"Hey buddy, I'm your uncle and godfather, but it is Chewie that you crawl right away when you get in? I thought you liked me," Han said smiling at the baby, who looking at his uncle, he reached him with his little right arm and grabbing Han's nose, he started to squeeze it, while he giggle at him, making the two set of twins laughed at the scene.

"Very funny kid," Han said but the smile never left his face. "You are lucky that you are so cute." he winked and kissed the baby's forehead, and looking at the girls and Ben, he asked them. "What about you three?"

"We are cold," Alli replied.

"What about you buddy?" Leia asked Ben, who was sitting next to his mother.

"I'm okay but it is cold," the 5 years old replied. "I hope it is not like that during my birthday."

"That's right, it is almost your birthday kiddo," Iris said stroking the kids brown hair. "6 years old now. You are getting big."
