No More Solo

6-Travel

"Just like old times, huh?" Han asked, pressing a few buttons in the Falcon's cockpit. They were now travelling in lightspeed which meant Chewie could handle the piloting by himself. "Oh yes," Luke said and chuckled. Last time they were piloting towards an adventure together was when they destroyed the Empire. A few hours had passed and Han and Luke were laughing and making jokes, trying to forget the bad times and focus on the future. They looked over at Leia who seemed to be drowned in her own thoughts. "We shall arrive on the planet of Rosendaar in twenty two hours, Luke, Leia, till then, you should get some rest. Me and Chewie can handle it," Han said and sat beside Leia. He ran his hand up and down her back, trying to make her feel relaxed. "Han's right, we should rest," Luke said and left to one of the Falcon's rooms to sleep, because he knew how hard this mission is going to be.

"Does he know?" Han asked as soon as Luke was out of sight and couldn't hear them. Leia shook her head 'no' and rested her head on his shoulder. She yawned and she quickly brought her hand to cover her mouth. It was a habit, from times back at Alderaan when she as a princess had to accompany her parents on the Senate meetings. Whenever Leia yawned, her mother would look at her and make her cover the little princess' mouth. "You look tired. Why don't you go sleep?" Han asked and with his right hand he touched Leia's arm, pushing her closer to him. "I can't," she answered. "Why?" "Because...I keep having this one nightmare and it haunts me every night and I can't sleep...." Leia was close to start crying. Why was this happening to her? And her baby? "What is it about? You can tell me," Han said softly and hoped she will tell him so he can help her. "A red lightsaber," Leia replied and sighed. "Vader's?" "No. This one's cross guarded. Luke said he has never seen a lightsaber like that." The couple was sitting in silence, both thinking about how to solve this situation. "Leia. Try to lie here. It may not be so comfortable as a bed, but I'll be close and I can keep an eye on you. If you'll have the nightmare, I'll be here to help you," Han offered and Leia moved her head so she could look him in the eyes. This man has changed so much. From an egoistic smuggler who only cared about himself was now offering his love and care to her. She felt special. "Thank you," she said and smiled. "I love you." "I know," Han replied and kissed her forehead.
