Star Wars One-Shots

A New Face

The ship is in chaos, people running around like crazy, trying to find everything the princess wants. She has already kicked out multitudes of people for random reasons, but no one chooses to call her out on it.

Mostly because she's going into labor.

Leia had planned to have the baby on a planet, but the little one chose while they were in the middle of their flight. She had no option but to realize that this was happening now whether she or Han liked it.

"Looking a little nervous, Han," Luke says. Han is pacing back and forth around the ship, muttering to himself. He looks like he's about to worry himself to death.

Chewie growls, getting the man's attention.

"What?" Han asks, his voice coming out harsher than he wants. He isn't mad at Chewie or anyone, really. He's just worried about Leia and their baby and this is the way he's choosing to deal with it. By being short with everyone.

"I suppose I was wondering how you were holding up, but my question's been answered." Luke slightly chuckles, walking to Han.

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm doing just fine." Han scoffs as Luke smiles and shakes his head.

"You should be fine. Leia and the baby are going to be okay." Luke assures as he sits in a chair against the wall.

"How are you so certain?" Han asks, sitting down beside him. He isn't going to admit that he's freaking out. He won't tell a soul. He can't let it get around that there's something in the galaxy that makes his stomach turn and make his hands tremble.

"It's a Jedi thing, you wouldn't understand." Luke teases, making Han huff with a smile. He rolls his eyes and crosses his arms across his chest.

"I'm certain I don't. And I'm certain you don't quite either." He replies, getting a growl from Chewie.

Suddenly, one of the few female pilots enters the room. "The baby's been born." She exclaims, making Han jump from his seat.

"Leia!" He shouts, running down the hallway and bolting into her room. Almost immediately Han sticks his head back out. "It's a boy! We've got a boy!"

Cheers begin to fill the hallways as news quickly spreads around the ship. Leia and Han have a new baby boy. R2-D2 happily chirps and spins around Luke's legs. He laughs, watching. "I know. I'm excited too, R2. It'll be nice to have another new face for our crew."

Han comes back out, rushing over to Luke. "Leia wants me to go get her something to drink. You should go into the room and go see your new nephew. Trust me, he's a looker. Gets it from me." He cheers as he slaps Luke's shoulder before leaving with Chewie.

Luke smiles, him and R2 walking to Leia's room. He can't wait to see what the baby looks like. It feels like they've waited for years to see the tiny baby Leia and Han were preparing for and now he's finally here.

They quietly enter the room, seeing Leia softly brushing her hand through the baby's dark hair. "Congratulations, Leia," Luke says, looking him over.

"Oh, thank you. Look how gorgeous he is." She grins before planting a kiss on his forehead. She turns, holding him out Luke. "Want to hold him?" She asks.

Luke shakes his head. "I probably shouldn't before Han does. Doesn't quite seem right."

"No, no. It's alright. Han has already held him. Besides, you're his only uncle." She says, practically shoving him into Luke's arms.

Softly smiling, joy fills in his heart for Leia and Han. If anyone in this whole galaxy deserves a baby, it's them. They would be perfect parents and they need an excuse to take a break from their work.

"What's the little guy's name?" Luke asks as the baby stirs in his arms.

"Well, we were thinking about naming him after you." She says. Immediately, Luke's eyes widen.

"Me?" He practically shouts, taken back.

"Of course. You're his uncle and you freed us from the Empire." She says, running her fingers through her hair.

"Oh, Leia, please don't." He says, shaking his head. "I didn't do anything like that and I don't want him having to think he's got to be like me. Please, if you're going to name him after someone, pick someone more important."

"What do you suggest?" She asks. She knows he's doing it because he doesn't think he's good enough, but Leia wants to name her child after her brother. She wants to give him a name that should be carried on.

"Why don't you name him after Han? After all, he is the father." Luke offers.

Leia ticks and shakes her head. "And have two Han Solos? I can hardly manage one." She says.

Luke frowns, looking at the baby. He knows Leia and Han want a name that means something to them, but he couldn't possibly come up with one. He doesn't know anybody that's done something important off the top of his head.

But suddenly, it hits him.

"What about Ben?" He asks.

"Ben?" Leia asks, confused. Where did he come up with that?

"Ben is the name that Obi-Wan went by while I grew up. I think we should do something for him since he was the one that brought all of us together. R2 found him in the desert and Ben had us go look for you by getting Han to fly us." Luke explains, loving the idea more and more. R2 chirps beside Luke, echoing his excitement.

"Ben," Leia repeats, a smile growing on her face. "Yes. Yes, I think that's the name Han and I will name our baby. It's perfect for him." She says as Luke hands the baby back to her.

Han and Chewie enter. "How are you feeling?" He asks, setting the water beside Leia.

"Ben and I are doing just fine." She smiles, leaning over to kiss Han's cheek.

"Ben? I thought we agreed to name him after Luke." Han says, furrowing his eyebrows. They had spent months trying to come up with the perfect name for their child and she suddenly wants to change it?

"After Obi-Wan. The man who brought us all together." She says, her eyes falling on their baby.

Han looks to Luke then back at Leia. His eyes land on his baby and he knows the name couldn't be more perfect. "Welcome to this crazy galaxy, Ben." He smiles. Chewie lets out a growl and R2 trills as everyone gathers closer to the new baby.

Yes this is kinda short and not very well written, but I like to think that Han and Leia named their baby Ben after Obi-Wan. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy!
