One Night Stand

Disclaimer: none of these characters belong to me of
course and I'm making no money from this.

Summary: set a few months after Champions of the
Force, can a one night stand lead to more?

I have to thank Courtney for betaing this. Also, I just want to say
that this is my first attempt at writing so don't be too harsh.
There will be more to come when I can get it written.

Part 1
Some bar in the outer rim

Mara Jade sat at the bar nursing a drink and pushed a stray lock of
brown hair out of her face. 'I can't wait to get out of here.' she
thought. The only reason she was on this sith-forsaken planet was to
help Karrde find information on Jorj Car'das.

As she finished her drink, she noticed a handsome, black-haired,
blue-eyed man looking at her. 'I really need to get to work and not
think about him.' The next thing she knew, the bartender was
setting another drink down in front of her.

I didn't order this."

"From the gentleman." he says pointing to the man across the bar.

Looking at him, she raises her glass in a salute and invites him to
join her thinking that the night just might get a little interesting.

The next morning...

Mara woke up with a pounding headache. 'What happened last night?'
The
last thing she remembered was the black-haired man sitting down next
to her and introducing himself as Marc. Then she realized that she
wasn't alone. 'Now what did I do?'

Glancing behind her, she saw the naked back of a blonde-haired
man. 'I sure did it this time. Now to get out of here before he wakes
up.' As she gathered her things, she wondered what happened to the
black-haired man. 'I don't have time to think about that. I gotta get
outta here.'

tbc...

Part 2

Luke Skywalker sat at the bar wondering again why he was here. He had
heard rumors of Force sensitives on this planet, so he arranged a
little trip. After having no luck, the force guided him to this run-
down cantina on his last night on the planet. `Why am I here? There's
no one here to train.' With his force disguise, he now looked like a
regular guy: average height and build with black hair and blue
eyes. `No one will recognize me, so
I might as well get drunk while I'm here.'

Looking up from the bar, he noticed a beautiful brown-haired woman
with the most captivating green eyes he had ever seen. He'd never
seen anyone more beautiful except... `No. I'm not going to get my
thoughts on her.' On impulse, he asked the bartender to send her
another drink. He watched as she accepted the glass, offered him a
small salute, and an invitation to join her. `Here goes.' he thought.

The next morning

Luke awoke with a feeling he hadn't had in quite awhile. `Sith what
happened?' he thought as he tried to remember where he was. The last
thing he remembered was sitting down next to a woman who introduced
herself as Lara. After that, everything was a blank. Then he noticed
that the other side of the bed had been slept in. `Well I didn't come
back alone,' he thought as he headed towards the refresher. As he
gathered his things to head back to Yavin, he wondered if he would
ever see her again.

Part 3

Yavin 4

A little over a month later

Luke stood at the entrance to the great temple as he watched the ship
finish its landing procedures. `I wonder what Mara is up to this
time.' As she walked down the ramp, he noticed that something was
different, but he couldn't tell what it was. `I won't worry about it
unless she wants to tell me.'

"Mara, it's nice to see you again. To what do I owe your presence
here?"

"Hi Skywalker. I'm here to train that's what."

"How long will you be here?"

"Few months or more."

"Why so long? You usually leave after a week."

"Ha Ha, very funny. I needed the break."

"Well then, let me show you to your room."

"So what's new here Skywalker?" she asked as they made their way
through the temple.

"We have a few new students and I've changed the way the academy is
run."

"So there are no more boring lectures?" she asked, a broad smile
crossing her face.

"No. There are still `boring' lectures," he replied with an equally
broad smile. "Here you go. I'm sure it's not what you're use to." He
replied, opening the door to her room.

"It'll have to do." She sighed, walking in.

"Why don't you settle in then come down for dinner?"

"All right, I'll see you later."

The next morning

Luke awoke with a feeling that something wasn't right. Stretching out
with the Force, he found the feeling was coming from Mara. After
pulling some clothes on, he made his way towards her room. Arriving
there, he knocked and got no answer. He knocked again and
said, "Mara." Again no answer. He stretched out with the Force to
her to find out what was wrong. <Mara.>

<Fine.>

When he entered her room, he noticed that she wasn't in bed. Seeing
the `fresher light on, he walked over and knocked on the door.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure," was the short reply. When he opened the door, he saw Mara on
the floor, curled in a ball.

"What happened? What's wrong?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.
"I've just puked my brains out, that's what happened."
After helping her sit up, he grabbed a washcloth and ran it under the
faucet. "Here," he said, handing it to her.

"Thanks."

"Let me help you back to bed."

"I'll be fine Skywalker. I don't need you to hang all over me."

"I just want to help Mara. You don't have to bite my head off."

"All right. Fine."

After helping her to bed, Luke got her a glass of water and sat down
to talk to her. "What's wrong Mara?"

"Nothing's wrong." Then, after a brief pause, she replied, "I'm
pregnant."

tbc...

Part 4

Luke couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "What?"

"I'm pregnant," Mara repeated.

"How?" he asked, and with a look at Mara's amused expression, he
said, "I know how, but who is the father?"

"I don't know who the father is." Mara practically whispered.

"What do you mean you don't know who the father is? How do you not
know something that important?" Luke asked as he got up and started
pacing the room.

"I was drunk, Skywalker," Mara yelled. "I can't remember who he was
or what happened that night."

After that sunk in, Luke sat back down. "So it was a one night
stand?" he asked when she calmed down.

"Yes." was her simple reply.

"So what are you planning to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are you going to keep this baby?" Luke asked, wondering if
anything he had said to her in the past few years had gotten through
to her.

"Of course I am. I may not have planned for this to happen, but I
will love this child. I'm not
completely heartless." She practically screamed.

"Okay, you don't have to yell Mara. How were you planning on raising
the baby?"

"I hadn't thought about how I am going to raise the baby. I have
some creds saved up from the Smugglers Alliance."

"How are you going to explain this to Karrde and Lando?"

"What does Lando have to do with this?"

"Well I've heard rumors that you two are together. What is he going
to say when he finds out you're pregnant?" Luke asked, curious to
hear her answer.

"He isn't going to say anything for two reasons: One, we aren't
together, and two," Mara paused, then said, "two, no one is going to
find out about this."

"How are you going to hide something this big? It will be kind of
hard."

"No, it will be easy. With your help."

"Mara you can't ask me to do that."

"When have I ever asked you to do anything for me? Never. I can't
ask for help for much of anything, but I'm asking your help for
this. Please don't say anything." Mara practically begged him.

Thinking about this side of Mara that is never seen, he said, "I
won't say anything. This is your
business."

"Thank you. As for Karrde, I don't know what he is going to say when
I tell him that I have to leave the group."

"You're going to leave the Smugglers Alliance? I thought you enjoyed
what you do." he replied, feeling a little confused.

"I do like it, but I can't do that and raise a child. I hate to say
it, but I have to change my priorities.
That's why I came here."

"You came here because you knew I'd help you any way I could, right?"

"Yes, even though I wanted to kill you at one time, I knew you would
help me. You're too kind to people." She said with a smile.

"Well, if you're going to stay here for awhile, you really should see
the med droid once a week."

"No way, Skywalker. Someone could find out if I was down there that
often."

"How about every other week? Any of the students could find out in a
few hours if they concentrated enough. I noticed the change in you
when you walked down the ramp of
your ship."

"Fine. As long as that hunk of junk doesn't let something slip."

"Good. We'll figure out what to do about your training later. Now,
though, rest and I'll talk to
you later. I'm hungry."

"Bye Skywalker. And thank you."

When Luke opened the door, he found some of his students staring at
him and Mara, wondering what was going on between the two of them.
