(no subject)

Every day I wake up in my palatial bed with a renewed sense of regret, wishing that there had been any other way to save Alderaan other than agreeing to marry Isolder, my now husband, the Prince of Hapan. There’s nothing wrong with him, exactly, he’s polite and proper and beautiful, of course, with his long blonde hair and blue-gray eyes. He’s kind, and patient with me and never fails to forgive my temper, but somehow that oboe makes it worse, makes me feel like an unruly child instead of his wife, his equal.

He tells me that he’s selected a new pilot for my flagship, that this stranger will be my bodyguard as well due to the ongoing threats in my life and I do my best not to sulk, knowing I’m capable of taking care of myself, but instead nodding and accepting his unassuming kiss on my cheek.

“I love you, Leia,” I say, and I say it again and again until she drifts off to sleep.

I immediately drop whatever it was I was doing, concerned for both Leia and the baby. When I arrive at our quarters, I’m relieved that she’s not only not in distress, but looks elated.

She’s so happy that tears spring into my eyes, and I don’t know where from or why. “That’s amazing, Leia.”

“I love you so much,” I say, covering her with kisses. “Both of you.”

I rub her back in circles, letting a long sigh escape my lips, so relieved that she’s happy after everything.

“It’ll happen,” I promise her, kissing her temple. “She’s just gotta get big and strong first.”

“I can’t wait to meet her,” I say, settling my hand on her belly. “Not too soon, though, little princess.”

I can’t feel anything, not yet, and it breaks my heart a little bit.

It takes a moment, but then I feel it – her – and my mouthful drops in amazement.

“I can’t believe I’m going to be a daddy,” I say, clearing my throat and fighting back tears.

“You’re too good to me, princess,” I say, kissing her temple.

“We’re good to each other,” I say. “And we’ll be the best parents to our baby.”
