No More Solo

Chapter 3 - Surprise!

"Good work, Leia!" Luke shouted and Leia smiled back at him. He put down the blaster and she turned off the lightsaber. They were training for about three hours now, Luke showing his padawan the ways she could twirl the saber and how to rely on the Force rather than her sight. Leia was getting better and better each training, but she still felt like a complete beginner. To be honest, she'd rather take the blaster.
"Now it's time for my surprise," the Jedi master said and sat on the rock he used to sit after every training lesson. He looked at Leia who was practicing the moves he taught her in the past few weeks. Taking deep breath, Luke smiled. "Han and Chewie are stopping by."
Leia stopped in the middle of 'saber one' pose, dropping the weapon down. "Really?" she asked, filled with excitement. She can tell Han about the baby! Will he be happy? What will he want? A boy or a girl? All these questions were flowing in Leia's mind, making her feel happy. "Yes! They'll be here in about six hours, till then, you have a free day today. But don't get used to it, my padawan, because after they leave, we'll start the final part of the training which is also the hardest," Luke said and excused himself by saying he needs to go meditate. Leia nodded and gave her brother a cheek kiss before going to the village.

Seven hours had passed and Leia was starting to get worried about Han's whereabouts. When she was about to go to Luke's hut and accuse him of lying, telling him it's not the Jedi way she was interrupted by a familiar sound. The Millenium Falcon. Luke didn't lie...She ran out of her hut in lightspeed, heading towards the landing strip. Due to her physical training, she got there under ten minutes, which impressed her. She never ran this fast, not even when her life was at stake. As the ship's door opened, Han came out, seeing Leia running towards him. He ran to her and they met in the middle, each one pushing the other into a tight hug. "I missed you," Han whispered and kissed Leia on the lips. As if it the baby knew its parents are together, Leia feeled its happines in the Force. The baby was already Force sensitive. 'Oh my God,' Leia thought. Her little baby will be a Force user.
Han and Leia parted from the kiss, but not from the tight embrace. "Arghhhhrghhr," the wookie roared and joined the hug.
"Come on Chewie," Han muttered as he was being pushed away so Chewbacca could hug Leia too. "Don't be angry, Han," she chuckled and caressed Chewie's fur. "Where's Luke?" Han asked and looked around them, the Jedi master nowhere to be found. "Probably in the village," Leia said and looked over her shoulder. "Let's go then. Oh and Chewie! Please check the motivator and repair the compressor," Han ordered and the wookie nodded with agreement. Listening to the captain, Chewbacca entered the ship, leaving Leia and Han alone. As soon as the Falcon's door closed, there was a big silence. It wasn't awkward, but still it felt weird so Han took Leia's hand and she lead him to the village. They walked slowly and quietly, not talking, even though they haven't seen each other for a quite long time. As they approached the village, Leia pressed Han against the tree by using the Force. It was mostly to impress him but also to help her. She was petite and press a man like Han against a tree was a lot more work than a pregnant lady should do. "You're getting good at this stuff," Han said, impressed by the abilities of his girlfriend. "Han listen," Leia said and took a deep breath. 'Now or never'. "There's something you should know. I am pregnant."
