It was around 4 in the afternoon, and after taken a nice nap with his wife, and checking if she didn't have any fever, Luke went to his youngest son bedroom, smiling when he saw the baby already awake, smiling the moment he saw his father, picking him up.

And at the moment they were in the kitchen, where Luke jr was sitting in his meal chair, eating his fruit puree, playing at the same time with his toy, a replica of his father's green lightsaber, that Leia saw in one shop and decided to buy it. The toy light up green and even made the sounds of a real lightsaber, which made her baby nephew very happy.

Opening his mouth to the spoon, the baby kept playing with his toy.

"You really love that, don't you?" Luke asked, when his son looked at him and smile, showing the bottom tooth that started to come out a few weeks ago. "Yes you do. When you get much older, you will get the real one."

Pressing the button, the toy light up green making the baby laugh and started to shake it up and down, making Luke laugh.

"Be careful with that sweetie," he said.

"Hello, anybody," they heard a few minutes.

"In the kitchen," Luke replied, nodding when Leia appeared.

"Hey, look at that mouth all dirty," she said smiling and kissing her nephew's forehead, who showed her the toy and started babbling. "I see that. You gave that toy?"

Luke looked at her and babbling more he pointed at his aunt, making her laugh.

"That is right? Me. Auntie Leia," she said and grabbing a chair she sat down, near Luke. "How is Ines?"

"A little better. She had a little fever during the night, but not that high, and so far it didn't return."

"That's good."

"Yes," Luke nod, giving another spoon to his son. "But she still feel a little weak, and not with energy, so we decided that for the next days she can stay in bed, resting. Besides with this awful weather, that it will get worse, it is for the best."

They both look at the kitchen windows, where they could see the first drops of rain hitting the glass, and they could hear the wind picking up too.

"And they say it will get worse starting this night. I can't imagine."

"Me neither. So how are the kids?"

"They are fine. They spent the day playing and having fun and they continue to do that."

Luke frown at that.

"And you left Han alone with them? I bet he is going insane."

Leia couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Come on Luke. Like you don't know your own brother in law. He is the worst of them all," she said making Luke laugh at that. He knew his sister was right. Han had the look that he was upset all the time, but when the subject was the kids, he acted like the biggest of them all.

After baby Luke finished his meal, Luke and Leia decided to go to the living room and laying the baby on his blanket, they sat down on top of the fluffy carpet, to keep watching the baby closer.

Sensing her brother was very serious for a while, Leia knew something was bothering him.

"What is going on? You look serious. Is everything okay with Ines for real?" she asked him, making Luke glare at her.

"Everything is fine with Ines."

"But something is bothering you. What is it?"

Looking at his baby son, who was focus on his toys that were on his blanket, Luke sighed and looked back at Leia.
