A Father's Daughter

Epilogue

Leia woke up in a bed she had never seen before, but for some reason, she felt it was hers. Someone opened the door and came into the room. It was a young and blond boy, with azure eyes and sweet smile.
"Luke?"
The boy smiled.
"Leia, Han's been looking for you like crazy!"
Her hand went through her brown curls.
"All right, just tell him... wait, Han?"
"He's told me to look for you, and I asked mom and dad. Dad told me you were here"
Leia's eyes opened widely.
"Mom and dad?"
Luke laughed.
"No, the Queen of Alderaan is the one who knew where you were. Of course mom and dad!"
"Okay, tell Han I'll be there in a minute. I have to do something"
And she left the room, leaving Luke alone without understanding why his sister was acting so strange.

Leia went down some beautiful stairs, nubian architecture style.
She went inside a room that looked like the kitchen. Then, she heard three voices she knew.
"Mistress Padmé, let me help you with that"
And then, a joyful laugh.
"Of course, Threepio. Could you pass me that, please?"
At last, the girl heard a masculine laugh.
"I think I'm gonna go before the two of you burn up the whole kitchen"
"Hey! I'm not that bad of a cook, Anakin"
"Never said that, Angel. I just said you and Threepio together in the same room doing something" he sighed "doesn't sound like..." His voice became extinct in the summer breeze that surrounded them when he saw his daughter come into the room. "Oh, Leia... help your father out.. tell your mother that..."
Leia looked at both her parents without knowing what to say.
"Anakin, I... I just came back." she whispered "Father" she added.
Anakin gasped and smiled.
"Leia"
And then he hugged her.
"What's the last thing you remember, sweetie?" Padmé asked her daughter.
Leia frowned her eyebrow.
"Uhm... I... I'm not sure"
Anakin came closer.
"Do you remember anything about... well, your actual life?"
Leia nodded.
"Yeah, I think so... I remember Luke and I playing in the Lake Country, I remember playing with... with granny and grandpa, I remember running through the streets of Alderaan and... and you chasing me while mom carried Luke in her arms. But I also remember... the Empire and Han... Han! Oh, I remember! I was mad because today's our first aniversary and he forgot!"
Anakin laughed at Padmé.
"Yeah, she's fine"
Leia kissed her parents and started to run, but Padmé's voice made her stop.
"Don't take too long honey, remember that Bail Organa and his wife are coming tonight"
"What?!" Leia shouted.
"Your Highness!" a boy she knew all to well came into the room.
All of them turned to look at Han.
"What? I've got something for Leia. I'm not such a bad boyfriend, you know. Come on" he grabbed Leia's hand and took her out of the house, but she stopped him.
"Wait. I want to say something to you"
Han sighed.
"Look, I swear I didn't forget about our aniversary I just..."
Leia laughed.
"I know I know." She kissed him." I've missed you"
Han laughed.
"But we've been apart for only a few hours"
She raised her shoulders.
"It felt like a lifetime to me"
