Disclaimer No I don't own Star Wars. I do own Kelsey and her parents and any other characters I have yet to mention.

Chapter 21

Kelsey

3 1/2 years later

"Okay now with those two wires, put them together. But be careful and try not to eletrocute yourself," I instructed my student.

The girl, Nala put the two wires together carefully and then she went inside the cockpit to test out the engine. I heard it sputter once before it was on.

"Okay not bad," I told her as she came down. "Just remember if you mix up the wiring then that'll lead to disasterous results and we don't want that to happen."

"Yes ma'am," Nala said with a smile.

"Aunt Essie!"

I looked over my shoulder and saw my 2 1/2 year old nephew Ben running towards me. He was born eight months after Luke and I got married and to say that I enjoy being an aunt would be an understatement.

"Ben where's mommy or daddy?" I asked.

"Right behind him," Han's voice called out as I picked Ben up.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We figured since Leia is almost done with her meeting with the other ambassodors, we're getting lunch and hope you can join us," Han offered.

"I'm pretty much done here I don't see why not," I said.

"You okay sis?" he asked. "You look pale."

"Oh it's fine," I replied, giving Ben back to him. "I just haven't been feeling well. Some stupid bug or whatever."

"Better make sure you don't infect the little one there," he said.

"Oh don't you worry," I said. "We don't want that now do we?"

Ben only replied with laugh as I handed back to Han. Lately I haven't been well. I thought I'd beat the flu bug a while back before Luke left for his trip to Coursant to research the old Jedi Temple. I know he was worried when he left but he's coming back home tomorrow so I should be better by then.

I was about to close up for lunch when a commotion started. I ran over to see what it was when I tripped and reached out for the falling object which was a toolbox. By the time I fell it landed besides me and I felt a sudden pain in my left wrist.

Oh no.

"Kels!" Han yelled as he ran over towards me. "Are you alright?"

"I think so...ow!," I winced in pain as I tried to move my left wrist. I looked down and saw my left wrist was slightly limp and starting to swell.

"We need medical now!" I called out.

"Easy kid, easy," Han said as I slowly sat up while Ben almost burst into tears.

Well this was lovely.

-LINE BREAK-

"Oh gods that hurt," I cried, holding on to my wrist.

"Easy kid, don't make it worse," Han said.

We sat in one of the medical rooms waiting for the medical droid to come back. I know Luke would be so thrilled to hear this when he comes back.

"Is Ben okay?"

"He's fine. Chewie got him occupied. Leia's on her way and she's trying to make contact with Luke," Han replied.

Soon enough, the driod came in with a nurse following along with some bandages and a splint in her hands. .

"Well from the X-Rays, it seemed like you have a hairline fracture. You will need a cast for a couple weeks and to stay off of physical work until then," the driod said.

"Oh well thankfully no extreme damage," I said.

"However, when you go back to work, it'll only be for another seven months before you go off," it said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked. "Why would I need to work for seven months after my cast is taken off?"

" , your blood tests show that you're with child," it said.

I looked over at Han in shock and he masked the same expression.

I'm pregnant?

Oh. My. Kriff.

-LINE BREAK-

"Kelsey it's alright," Leia said after I was taken care of.

"I'm going to have a baby. I...oh my," I said, as I made it back to the house Luke and I are living.

"Have you guys been trying?"

"Not really I mean, we were in the beginning but we just took a break since he's training new Jedi and I got work," I replied.

Leia pulled me into a hug. "It's going to be fine," she said. "I was in the same position as you were."

"I know," I said.

We pulled away from one another as I sat down on the coffee table.

"Give hugs to Ben for me and I'm sorry for earlier," I said.

"No need to apologize for that. He was safe with you and was unharmed. That all that matters to me. Get some rest. I have a feeling your husband will be worrying his head off," she said.

"I can handle him," I said, as she left.

I stood in the house all by myself, taking in the quietness and letting my mind process everything. I know things need to change and I need to take care of things in order to do so.

I hope Luke will be okay with the news.

I walked outside towards the workshed that was on the side of the house. It came with the house when Luke and I moved in. I know now we would need a bigger place to raise our family.

Never would I thought that I would be pregnant now. I should be happy. I am happy. I hope Luke is happy and I know how busy he is with the New Jedi Order and our marriage has only few problems but we overcame those and manage to work through it all.

"Kelsey? Kelsey!"

Luke's voice snapped me out of my daydream as I walked out of the shed. I saw my husband jumping out of the landspeeder and ran towards me.

"Hi honey," I said as he got closer.

"I heard," he said, embracing me tightly. "I got so worried love. I had to leave as soon as I heard."

I returned the hug and closed my eyes. "I'm fine, really," I assured him lightly. Luke looked frantic with worry as I saw he was still in his dark jedi clothing, his hair a bit out of place and eyes filled with worry.

Even after almost four years of marriage he worries too much. But I still love him regardless.

"No you're not. You have a cast on your wrist. Not to mention you've been quite ill when I left. I knew I shouldn't have gone to Corusant," he said.

"Luke, take a breath," I said, cupping his face feeling the small hairs of his beard. "Let's go inside before you have a heart attack."

After he calmed down we both headed inside. I sat him down on the couch in our living room as I made him tea while I had water. I sat down next to him after I gave him tea.

"Now Luke, I need you something else that I found out while I was getting my wrist checked out and just be calm when I tell you," I said.

"Anything sweetheart," he said.

"I'm pregnant," I said.

"What?"

"Now I know what you're thinking. It's probably too soon to start having kids and while I do agree I know plans don't go the way we should want them but this is happening whether you like it or-"

I was sealed with a kiss on my lips from him. Luke held on to me as he pulled away. he rested his forehead against mine and stared at me.

"A baby? We're going to be parents?"

"Yes," I said in a small voice.

"Oh Kelsey my love. T-This is amazing," Luke said.

"Wait, what?"

"I know it's a shock but I've never been happier in my life since we got married," he replied.

"And what about before?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course those as well. I can't wait to meet our child," Luke said with a smile. "But when you fell..."

"They did a scan before I left and the baby is still there," I replied.

"Oh thank goodness I'm so relieved," he said

"Me too," I said. "Thanks for not freaking out on me."

"I would never," he said. "Now though we do need to talk about you taking it easy during your pregnancy."

"I know I mean I don't plan on stopping work until maybe my seventh month," I said.

"Hmmm, maybe six," he said.

"What? No way," I protested.

"I just want you and our daughter to be safe," Luke said, raising his hands slightly.

"So you think our baby is a girl?"

"Well what do you think?"

"A boy," I replied. "Either way, I want them safe and healthy."

"Me too. I'm so glad to have met you," Luke said.

"The same here," I said. "I love you Luke forever."

"And I love you too Kelsey, my angel, my light," he declared as we kissed.

If I would meet Luke way earlier, who knows how it would've turned out. Either way, things do happen for a reason. Despite what the future may hold, threat or no threat from the dark side what so ever, I know that I'll face it with my new family by my side.

The End

A/n I know it's the end...for now anyways. Before I go and hit 'Complete', I do have a bit of news to share and what not.

Will I write The Force Awakens?

The answer is yes. However, that won't happen until the early middle of next year since I do want to focus on finishing my other stories for other fandoms and the prequel as well. Not to mention, I want to plan it out beforehand so when I do post, you'll be the first to know.

It may seem sad that this is over but don't worry. Maybe I might write more snippets of our lovebirds together or something. I've come to love Kelsey and Luke so much like my own children I always enjoy writing about them and look forward to writing them after I update despite my hectic schedule.

I know we'll see them in the prequel but it's still a bittersweet feeling.

Also I'm thankful for you all for your reviews, alerts and favorites. You guys keep me going even though when I feel doubtful at times on how the chapters come out. I'll be forever grateful for you all and thank you all so much for sticking by me.

All my love always and see you got in How To,
Spike
