Since a few of you were interested, here's a repeat of what posts
there were on this round robin. This was started in August 2000.
I'll put the name of the original author of each section at the
beginning. Double lines will separate the sections.

[JT]

Story premise: Let's say it's a few days before Mara and Luke's
first anniversary
and
Jaina has asked permission to come over and talked to Mara. Jaina,
who is about 11, wants to ask her about sex, because she feels
uncomfortable talking to Leia about it. Mara doesn't know that's
what
Jaina wants to talk about.

"The Talk"

Part 1

Mara Jade Skywalker awoke slowly, her eyes barely opening. She took
a deep breath and then stretched languidly, yawning the whole time. A
soft, bubbling snore caught her attention and she turned to look at
her husband. He was lying flat on his back, one hand resting on his
stomach, the other hide somewhere under the covers.

Mara grinned and turned on her side to face him. He snored again, not
loudly, but a soft expelling of air that rushed through his lips.
She pulled herself over to him and waited for the next snore. When it
came, she put her mouth over his, plunging her tongue through his
open lips, effectively cutting off his ability to breath.

"Mara!" he gasped, coming awake quickly and coughing a little at
having his oxygen cut off so unexpectedly.

She laughed, moving her body more onto his. "That's what you get, my
love, for being so incredibly sexy."

He looked at her quizzically. "Sexy? How can I be sexy if I'm
asleep."

She pressed her open mouth against his chest, then turned and
casually licked across one of his nipples. His breath caught in his throat, his hands going to her arms and pulling her more on top of him. He caught her mouth with his and they kissed, long and slowly, enjoying the familiar wet and warm taste of one another.

"Luke," Mara whispered against his mouth.

"Hmmm?" he answered, running his tongue along the curve of her lips,
then he rubbed his face against hers.

"You would look sexy if you were in a coma," she gasped, as his mouth
traveled down her throat.

"I would?" he asked, sucking on the soft, delicate skin under her
chin. It was one of his favorite places on his wife's body and he
spent some time there, licking and sucking until it was as wet as his
own mouth.

Mara moved her head about gently, giving him all the access he
wanted. Her red-gold hair fell about both of them, creating a curtain around Luke.

"You're the sexiest man I've ever known, Luke," his wife whispered,
sliding her hands along his sides.

Luke stopped his ministrations and looked up at her. "I am? I
always thought I was just an ordinary type guy, nothing special."

Mara snorted rudely. "That's just like you. Mr. Modesty. I don't
suppose you notice all those looks you get from other women. I've
seen some of them. They all but undress you with their eyes."

Luke was intrigued. "Really?"

Mara laughed and slapped him lightly on his hip. "Yes. I better
never catch them trying anything else, though. They can look, but
they can't touch. And you either! You're mine, all mine, and nobody
else's."

Luke pulled her down and then flipped her over on her back. "Why in
the galaxy would I want to touch any other woman when I have you at
home," he growled, covering her body with his. He took one of her
nipples in his mouth, sucking gently, causing her to arch underneath
him.

"Luke," she moaned, "don't you have a meeting this morning?"

He laid his face between her breasts. "I can be late. They'll wait."

She grinned, running her hands through his hair. "Now what kind of
example would the Jedi Master be giving with that?"

"If they are married to a woman even remotely like you, they'll
understand," Luke grinned, then raised up. His hands slid to her
hips and gently pulled her legs apart, then mischievously, teasingly,
as slowly as he could, he eased in her.

"Luke, damn you," she hissed, her legs lifting in the air and
scissoring around his hips, jerking him into her.

He laughed gently, then covered her mouth with his, effectively
stopping all other comments.

He moved slowly as he could, wanting it to last forever, feeling as
always that incredibly delicious wet tightness that was so much her.
They had been married almost a year and each time they made love was
as precious to him as the first.

"I love you," he whispered into her ear, taking the lobe in his mouth
and caressing it with his tongue. "I adore you, my love."

"Oh, Luke," she moaned, arching under him. Her fingers buried
themselves in his hair, holding him tightly to her. "I love you
too...so very much."

They moved together as one, gently and slowly, enjoying the
connection, physically and through the Force, their bond flowing
around them like warm liquid, encompassing them in exquisite pleasure.

The doorbell chimed.

Luke collapsed on Mara, groaning. "Sithspit! Who is that?"

Mara sent out a tendril of the Force. "It's Jaina."

"Jaina? Why is she here so early?"

Mara sighed. "I forgot. She asked me yesterday if she could come
over. She wants to talk to me about something."

The doorbell chimed again.

Reluctantly, unwilling, Luke pulled out of Mara and fell over onto
the other side of the bed, breathing heavily.

They just laid there, neither willing to move.

And the doorbell chimed again.

Part 2

Finally, with a huge melodramatic sigh, Mara flipped the cover back
andstood up, grabbing a robe off a nearby chair. Glancing back at her
husband, she could tell he wasn't going to be able to join her anytime
soon. "Stay here until you're a little less, umm, prominent, Luke.
Thenget your butt in the main room. She's YOUR sister's kid." Then with onelast wink and a deliberate wiggle of her hips, she was gone.

Jaina fidgeted from foot to foot outside the door. Why weren't they
answering? Aunt Mara had said it would be okay to come over - had she
forgotten. She'd just decided to give up and either come back later,
or ask someone else, when the door whisked open.

"Hello, Jaina. Come on in."

Jaina stared at Mara for only a moment - she couldn't remember seeing
her aunt in any state of undress, let alone wearing what was obviously
Uncle Luke's robe. And her hair was all mussed. "Did I arrive too
early,Aunt Mara?"

Mara ran her hand self-consciously through her hair, failing miserably
to make any kind of impression on it. "No. I think you're just on
time." She led the young girl through to the kitchen. "How about some
breakfast, then you can tell me what's bothering you."

=====================================================

Part 3

"Thanks Aunt Mara that would be great." Jaina replied following her
aunt into the kitchen and making sure the door closed behind her.
Mara started some toast and scambled eggs and motioned Jaina to sit
down. Jaina sat down and sort of stared at her hands.

"So kiddo what is it you want and need to talk to me about hmm?"
Jaina blushed. "Well, it's like this Aunt Mara. I'm going to be a teenager soon and I was wondering..."

"Yes?" Mara asked raising her eyebrows and watching the toast at the
same time.

"Some of the girls and I were talking and.." Jaina seemed to get
redder and redder.

"Jaina, honey, just spit it out okay. I wont laugh or be angry."
"Okay, I want to know about sex." Jaina blurted getting up and taking
a helping of scrambled eggs and toast Silence filled the room. Mara
just stared at her niece for a moment then sighed.

"Jaina, why haven't you talked to your mother about this."

"Well, mom is really busy and she's always so serious and to be
perfectly honest. I wanted and rather ask you. You take me seriously
Aunt Mara. Not to mention that you have more time for me." Mara
nodded, gathered her emotions, smiled at her niece and replied.

"Alright, Jaina. What do you want to know."

Meanwhile in the bedroom Luke was noticeing that he wasn't about to
calm down anytime soon so he ran his hand under the blanket ran his
thumb over the tip and soon began to stroke and pump himself for all
its worth "ooooooh Mara." He thought.

In the kitchen Mara was listening to Jaina when suddenly she blushed
the scowled.

"Skywalker what in the heck are you doing?!" She asked him through
their link.

"You're fault Mar. You got me extremely excited then decided that the
door and Jaina were more important then me so I decided to take care
of my problem myself. Ooooooh that feels so good." He purred.

Mara soon felt the tell all wettness and fire between her legs and
squirmed in her seat.

"Aunt Mara is there something wrong? Am I making you too
uncomfortable?"

"No." Mara replied to her neice but her mind was somewhere else.
"Skywalker" she hissed. "You better stop doing that right now or I
WILL bring your niece in there and she will see what a naughty boy
her uncle really is."

"But Mara, it feels sooooo goood. Tooo good to stop."

"Luke I'm warning you!!" Luke got the message then with a
dissappointed groan he stopped and whiped his hand on the sheet.

Part 4

Relieved that Luke finally stopped his self-centered behavior, Mara
turned back to her niece. "Now, Jaina, though I really think this is a
matter for your mother, I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

Luke picked that moment to shuffle into the kitchen, wearing flimsy
sleep pants and an old T-shirt. Yawning widely, he ran his hand through his tossled hair. It didn't escape his attention that all conversation ceased as soon as he appeared.

Jaina stared at her uncle. Unlike with Aunt Mara, she'd been around
Uncle Luke enough to see him rumpled-looking. But never quite like this. And why did he have to come out here NOW?

Mara, meanwhile, was giving Luke a cold enough glare to make him
think he was back on Hoth. "What are you doing in here? I thought you had a meeting to go to."

Luke looked back and forth at the members of the fairer sex, and gave
his best innocent smile. "Just wanted some caf first, and to say good
morning to my favorite niece." He gave Jaina a wink before turning to the caf machine on the counter, getting a mumbled "Hello, Uncle Luke" in reply.

*You look a fright,* Mara sent out chillingly. *Don't you realize
you're still all sweaty, and those pants are clinging to you everywhere they shouldn't?*

His back still to Jaina, Luke tried to unobtrusively pull his pants
looser. *Can't help it you stole my robe. Now I know what to get you for an anniversary present.*

Jaina could tell they were talking through the Force; she just
couldn't hear what they were saying. It reminded her of when her parents used to spell out words when she was little so she wouldn't understand.

"What are you girls talking about out here?" Luke asked, sipping his
caf slowly.

"Nothing that concerns you," Mara retorted. *Not anymore this
morning, anyway,* she added silently. "So take your cup of caf, and go get ready for your meeting. Now shoo!" Mara made a shooing motion with her hand.

"Okay," Luke drawled. "I can tell when I'm not wanted." He reached
behind himself and pulled his pants loose back there too, before heading for the bedroom. *I'll deal with you later, Skywalker* he heard in his head as he closed the bedroom door behind him.

*Promises, promises,* he sent.

The Talk - Part 5

Jaina turned slowly from watching her Uncle Luke leave the kitchen
and saw her aunt who had also been watching his retreating form, her
mouth twitching as she obviously tried to suppress a grin.

Jaina looked at her thoughtfully. "Aunt Mara?"

"Hmmm?" Mara answered, her mind still on Luke.

"When you first met Uncle Luke, did you want to sleep with
him?"

The cup of caf in Mara's hand slipped, spilling onto Luke's
robe.

Jaina jumped up from the table, grabbing a napkin and dapping
ineffectually at the spreading stain. "I'm sorry, Aunt Mara,
I didn't mean..."

"It's alright, Jaina, it wasn't your fault," Mara
said quickly, taking the cup over to the sink and placing it in it.

She turned and looked consideringly at her niece who had taken her
seat at the table again. "Jaina," she began, watching as
Jaina looked up at her rather guiltily. "Just what has brought this
on...why these questions now?"

Jaina picked up a piece of toast from her plate and nervously tore it
in half. "Well, I'm getting older, you know." She took
the poor toast and abused it some more. "My body...," Jaina hesitated
and then finished in a rush. "It's been changing...if you know what I
mean."

Mara nodded solemnly. "Yes, I think I do."

Encouraged, Jaina sat straighter in her chair, looking at her
aunt. "I thought about talking to Mom, but...well, she and Dad
have been married for ages. I don't even know if
they...ah...do...you know...it, anymore."

Mara's hand shot to her mouth, apparently having a sudden itch,
as she rubbed her back of her fingers quickly across her lips.
Wisely, she said nothing.

Jaina never noticed, too intent on getting some answers to her
questions. "But you and Uncle Luke...you haven't been
married that long and you're always kissing and hugging each
other."

Jaina looked away, a slight flush coloring her cheeks. "I just
wanted to know, Aunt Mara...what's it like?" Jaina looked
back at her aunt.

"Is it...really great?"

Part 6

Few things left Mara Jade Skywalker speechless. Being asked by an 11-
yr-old to describe her sex life definately ranked right up there near the top. She glanced over at the expectant look on her niece's face.

"Jaina," she began, fishing for the right words, "when two people
love each other, and they make love, it is a beautiful experience. It brings them closer together, and enhances the bond between them." She eyed Jaina carefully, hoping this would be enough of an explanation. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Jaina seemed to be mulling over her aunt's words. "Do you mean like a
Force bond? Cause my dad couldn't have that."

"No, sweetheart, not necessarily a Force bond. Any married couple has
a bond. It just means they feel really close to each other, closer than to any other person in the galaxy. Your mom and dad have a bond like that."

"But," Jaina continued, still not convinced that answered her
original question. "But, does it feel really great when you do it with Uncle Luke?

Do you both like doing it?"

Mara put one hand over her mouth, hoping Jaina wouldn't sense her
tumultuous emotions. She had visions of Jaina going around bragging to her friends that her uncle, the revered Jedi Master, and his wife have a fantastic sex life. Why couldn't Luke come out NOW and interrupt them?

=======================================================

[Lady Sith]

Part 7

Even through the all out seriousness of the conversation, Mara was
having a hard time suppressing a grin as thoughts of Jaina surrounded
by a circle of friends, bragging about her recent knowledge of the
great Jedi Master's sex life filled her mind. She carefully concealed
it however, pondering just how she would answer her neice's question.

"Well, yes, it's great Jaina, but only because we're two people who
deeply love eachother. It's always great to share that sort of bond
with someone you love." Mara finally replied as she walked over to
the sink to clean the caf off of Luke's robe.

"But.. how is it great Aunt Mara? What does it.. I don't know.. FEEL
like?" Jaina asked, fidgeting in her seat and looking down at her
hands.

Mara was glad that her back was facing Jaina as the question hit her.
She stopped what she was doing, dead cold, and frantically thought of
a way to answer her.

"I mean, is it like a massage... or.. I don't know.. " Jaina trailed
off into Mara's thoughts.

"Umm, well, let's see. First of all, do you know what sex.. exactly
is?" I know I can teach her what it is, at least. Mara thought to
herself.

"The man.. puts his, you know, into the girl's, you know." Jaina
answered uncertainly.

==============================================================

[JT]

Part 8 -

Mara had to rub her mouth again to keep from laughing aloud. She
turned from the sink and joined Jaina at the table. "You know, you
can use the proper terms. It's not going to embarrass anyone here."

Jaina grimaced a little. "Maybe me?" Then she said in a
rush, "Penis and vagina!"

Mara couldn't help it. She laughed out loud and was relieved to hear
Jaina laughing with her. She smiled at her niece. "So, you know
what goes on in the actual process, then?"

Jaina nodded, looking away again. "I think so. They showed us some
films at school and well...you know...girls talk."

Mara nodded, feeling for a moment a little pang of regret that she
had never gotten to experience that camaraderie that young girls had
when growing up. The Emperor had kept her too isolated in the Palace.

"But Aunt Mara, that's where I don't get it," Jaina said, very
seriously. "After watching that film, I really couldn't understand
why anybody would want to do that! It didn't look like much fun at
all!"

Mara blinked in surprise, wondering just what they showed in those
films at Jaina's school.

Jaina went on. "And then my friend, Neeta, do you remember her?"

Mara thought, vaguely recalling some adolescent girls around Leia's
home when she had been there a time or two. She shook her head. "I'm
not sure I remember which one she was."

"She's a Twi'lek, the tall one?" Jaina explained.

Mara nodded, not really remembering, but wanting Jaina to continue.

"Well, she has two older sisters. Both of them are married and one
of them tells Neeta that sex is the most wonderful thing and that she
just loves doing it with her husband!" Jaina was seriously into her
story, waving her hands to emphasize. "But the other sister tells her
it's just horrible and she hates it." Jaina leaned her chin on her
hand and looked at Mara very intently. "So, Aunt Mara, is it
wonderful for you and Uncle Luke?"

At that moment, Luke entered the kitchen again.

========================================================

[Lady Sith]

The Talk RR Part 9

"Did I just hear someone say my name?" Luke asked as he wandered into
the kitchen, now wearing a dignified pair of black pants and tunic.
He rested his hand on the table in front of Jaina, quirking a brow at
either of them.

Jaina's face turned crimson red as she quickly looked away from her
Uncle.

Mara came to her Niece's rescue, "No one said anything about you
Luke, is the Jedi Master hearing things now?" She said with a
mischevious smile on her face.

He looked over at Jaina, "Are you sure? I could have sworn I heard my
name."

"No Uncle Luke, no one mentioned you." Jaina said with obvious
effort. She looked down at her hands once again, as if there was
something of interest to be found on them.

"I must be going crazy then. Well, I'm off to my meeting, I'll leave
you two to your girl talk." He rounded the table to wrap his arms
around Mara's waist, giving her a short kiss.

"Bye flyboy." Mara called as he let her go to tossle Jaina's hair
before leaving out the apartment door.

Jaina gave her a sheepish grin, "Boy that was a close one."

===========================================================

Part 10

The relief flowing from Jaina at her Uncle's departure was almost
palpatable and Mara again had to stifle a laugh. "So Jaina, where
were we before my husband so rudely interupted us." She looked over
at where her niece sat trying to compose herself and thought back to
her own teenage years. She had not had anyone she could confide in
and it warmed her heart that Jaina trusted her enough to come to
her. Not that it made the actual conversation any easier though.

A smile spread over Jaina's face and she met her Aunt's
eyes. "Thanks for not telling Uncle Luke what we were talking
about. I don't think I could have faced him if he had heard me." A
terror filled look appeared briefly on Jaina's face before she
squelched it. "I asked you what it felt like to have sex?"

Mara took a couple of deep breaths to compose herself and her
thoughts, than met Jaina's gaze. "First there is a big difference
between having sex and making love. Sex is just the physical act
while making love is sharing yourself with someone that you care
about deeply." She could see the frustration in her niece's face at
her vague answers. Well it looked like she would have to give Jaina
some more specific information but first she needed to get a little
information of her own and set a few ground rules. "Jaina what goes
on between two people when they make love is very private." Her
thoughts from earlier about her niece describing the Master's sex
life with her friends came back to her. All they would need was to
have her repeat any of this the next time she came to the Academy. As
she imagined the knowing looks and secret whipers, she
shuddered. "I'll answer your questions as much as I can but this
information has to stay just between us."

Her Aunt's tone of voice and expression coveyed how serious she was
about this condition. "I promise, Aunt Mara. I won't tell anyone,"
Jaina answered seriously.

"Making love is .....," Mara's sentence was interupted by the sound
of the door chime. "We are having a real problem with interuptions
this morning, aren't we," she chuckled as she walked towards the
door. Extending her senses, Mara was surprised by the presence she
recognised in the hallway. Turning back to Jaina, she said. "I
think this visitor is here to see you."

A shocked expression spread over Jaina's face as she felt for the
presense at the door. As her Aunt escorted the visitor in the room,
she exclaimed. "Jacen, what are you doing here?"

===========================================================
[Michele]

Part 11

Jacen looked just as surprised to see his twin. And not in a pleasant
sort of way, Mara thought.

"Me?" Jacen blurted out. "What are YOU doing here?"

"Just talking with Aunt Mara," Jaina replied defensively. "And I
asked you first," she reminded him.

Jacen glanced at his aunt. "I came to talk to Uncle Luke." He didn't
even need to look around the room -- right away he could tell his uncle's distinctive presence was absent.

"I'm sorry, Jacen, you just missed him," Mara informed him. "He had a
meeting to attend."

"When will he be home?"

"By lunch time, I imagine. He never misses a meal," Mara laughed
lightly. "Is there something I could help you with?"

Jacen got that same terrified look on his face that Jaina had when
Luke had walked into the kitchen earlier. Ahh, thought Mara, so that's what this is about. Luke is in for a surprise.

"NO!" Jacen exclaimed. "I mean, I really need to talk to him. Alone."

"You know, Jacen," Mara said patiently, "your dad's probably not
busy. Why don't you go...?"

Jacen shook his head. "I'd rather talk to Uncle Luke. Dad's kinda ...
old, and ... well ... "

Boy, these twins really do think alike, Mara thought. "How about I
have your Uncle Luke give you a call as soon as he has some free time
today?"

Jacen's face brightened. "Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks a lot." He
stood there, shuffling from one foot to another.

"Would you like some breakfast, Jacen?" Mara offered, noticing that
he was eyeing their eggs and toast.

"No, he wouldn't," Jaina said quickly, hopping up so fast she almost
upset her chair. "He's NOT staying." Jaina gave her brother a cold, hard stare, much like the kind of glares Mara herself was famous for. Maybe I should tone down my expressions in front of the kids, Mara realized.

By this time, Jaina was dragging her twin toward the front door. "Go
home and leave us alone," she ordered in her best big-sister tone of voice.

Mara shook her head. She and Luke sure had a lot to look forward to
when they got around to having kids.

"Don't forget to have Uncle Luke call me," Jacen reminded Mara.

"I won't," she promised, just before Jaina shoved him out the door.
Mara didn't comment when Jaina reached up and activated the locking
mechanism.

"Now, where were we again?" niece and aunt both said simultaneously,
causing them to burst into laughter.

============================================================
============================================================

Okay, guys and gals, I believe this was as far as the story went.
Mara and Jaina have to finish their conversation, then Luke and Jacen
get to have a little 'talk.' Perhaps then Jaina and Jacen can
compare notes, along with Luke & Mara, of course.

'Round Robin' means any or all of you can post continuing scenes. If
you didn't want to do a whole fic for the challenge, but have a few
ideas, this could be your opportunity. You'll be starting with Part
12, and continuing from there. You can do a whole scene or just a
few paragraphs. Perhaps the male members of this group would like to
work on Luke's eventual talk with Jacen, hmmm??

Who's game to go first?
