“I'm really going to have to teach you to lay your speech back huh?” he teased “ you sound. So regal it's almost annoying”

Finn rolled his eyes.
"Well when you've been raised in royalty and in the senate your whole life, it kind of just happens. It's not too bad."
Leia clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"I'm glad we all had a fantastic time. Now we needs to get out of here and let the cleaning droids do their jobs. We all have busy days tomorrow. With all the commotion the Hothians brought, and the squall on the landing pad, everything is going to be a hot topic tomorrow. However, it did shed light on the siege of Artorias. which is what we needed to talk about anyway. So goodnight, and I will see you all tomorrow."
Han and Chewbacca waved at Elias and walked out after Leia, and Luke bowed his head towards Winter, and left. Winter helped Elias up and picked up Frost. Winter looked at Hiro.
"Alright Kiddo. Say your goodbyes. We're heading back up to the room. You need another shower, Elias and I need another shower, and Frost needs a power wash."
Frost cackled and put his grubby hands on Winter's face. Winter sighed and looked at her husband.
"He gets this from you, ya know."

Hiro chuckled softly, “bye finn, guess I'll see you tomorrow, “ he said a little awkwardly and walked a little hastily to hide behind his father

Finn bowed his head.
"I will see you tomorrow then."
Elias softly laughed at Hiro's antics. The got in the elevator and went up to their floor. When the doors to the elevator opened, Elias went and opened the door.
"Alright everyone in. Winter, you go take that boy you're holding and blast him with soap and water. He's probably got potatoes where potatoes shouldn't be. Hiro, go hop in the shower. After Frost is finished, Win you take a shower and I'll watch him. Then when you're done, you'll watch him. We'll all chill out afterwards and watch something on the holo tv. Sounds good?"
Winter had already walked past Elias, and Frost howled in indignation.
"I WILL NOT TAKE A BATH!"
Winter threw Frost over her shoulder.
"Yep. Sounds great hun. I'm like two steps ahead of you. Frost is quite literally leaking potatoes."
Elias laughed at his son and his wife's frantic walking to the bathroom holding their son who was fighting tooth and nail to not get cleaned.

Hiro laughed softly, “I was hoping there could be a place were I could train with my saber?”

Elias scratched his head.
"Normally the Jedi temple ruins are open, but after the fiasco today, they were shut down until they could be secured. I guess you could practice in your room, or a large open area. We have plenty of space. Go for it."

Hiro nodded, heading toward his room to shower

Elias watched Hiro walk off and then headed towards his room. He walked into the bathroom and Frost was still trying to fight Winter about the bath even with shampoo in his hair. All Elias could do was laugh at his son. Soon enough, Winter finished the bath and handed him off to Elias to dress him. Elias dressed him in karlini silk pjs and let him run off. Winter had already gotten into the shower, so Elias stood there and waited for her to get done. When she was done, he got in the shower. He finished up shortly. He came out of the shower, put on pjs, and flopped on the bed. He looked at Winter.
"It's been a day. I'm exhausted."
Winter flopped on top of Elias.
"You're telling me. You have bedtime with Frost tonight. I bathed him."
Elias groaned.
"Do I have too?"
Winter kissed Elias on the cheek.
"Yes hun. Go deal with your spawn."
Elias pushed off the bed and went to go get Frost.
"Son. Bedtime."
Frost squealed and came charging towards Elias. Elias took him towards his room and laid him in his bed. Soon enough Frost was asleep, and Elias went to go check on Hiro. He spoke in a hushed tone towards him.
"Hey, you can stay up as late as you want, but you're going to have to go to bed soon."

Hiro hadn't been paying attention. The smoke from his mouth, his force, had created a shadow fighter.
It was his father..
Hiro was mid-combat, fighting toe to toe in extra effort training. His body moved like the air around his blade. His concentration is almost impenetrable, hyperfocused of the sight of the ghostly figure.!

Elias watched in fascination.
"Interesting. Do you know if you can make more than one? That's a neat trick."
(Is its Elias, or Hiro's biological dad 😅)

(hiros bio dad) hiro looked over and nodded, letting more smoke pour from his mouth as more clones appeared

Elias nodded in approval.
"That's pretty cool. That could come in handy later on. I'm going to go bed right now. I'm dog tired. Goodnight Hiro."

Hiro nodded and let the clones fade “night dad,” he said and yawned

Elias went and crawled into bed with Winter, and they soon fell fast asleep.
(Time Skip timeeeee, we gotta build some plot things.)
As the weeks passed on Coruscant, Finn and Hiro grew closer in friendship as they got to know each other better. Leia was fighting more and more for the people of Artorias with Winter by her side. During the day, Elias was training Frost in Force healing, and when Winter had a break, she would teach Frost and Hiro combat, while using and manipulating the Force. Luke, Han, and Chewbacca had teamed up and were going through the galaxy as ambassadors trying to rally support for the people of Artorias. And everything was great.

Winter and Leia were coming back from the latest senate meeting. Leia groaned.
"I can't with all of these senators who are so clueless. They are all so dead set on pushing their own agenda when really we need to focus on Artorias. If Artorias falls, the outer rim will follow suit. None of them have really ever seen war. They've only seen the Empire. And the Empire was wiped out when the Rebellion and the New Republic came into power."
Winter rubbed the back of her neck.
"Yeah I know. It's insane. Speaking of other things, I might head to the med bay and get a blood test. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold or something. I don't know. Something just feels off."
Leia laughed.
"A Hothian getting a cold? Now that's a first."
Winter rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Oh ha ha. I'm going to see them later. I'll tell you the results. I seem to be with you more than my own husband right now."
Frost and Elias were in the training room. Elias had brought small animals and plants that needed help and he was teaching Frost how to heal them. Frost was doing well, but Elias was worried.
"Come on son you can do it."
Frost strained with effort.
"I'm trying. This is hard."
Elias told him to stop, and he hugged him.
"You're doing well son. Let's take a break for the day."

Hiro spared with Finn, and playfully pulled him close, his soft giggle something to relish in.

His smoke had been a soft pink whenever he spent time with Finn, or it was a ruby red when he got flushed in the cheeks.
He noticed his mother heading to the bay “you okay momma?” he asked from down the hall

Finn laughed more than he ever had when he was with Hiro. It was always a good time. They had stopped sparring as Winter drew closer and passed them headed to the medical bay. Winter looked towards Hiro and smiled when he asked if she was okay.
"I should be fine Hiro. I just feel off today. Maybe a cold or something. Leia has already made the oh no a Hothian getting a cold we're all doomed joke. I'm going to go get a blood test to see what's up. It should be no more than an hour. I'll let you know what comes of it."

Hiro nodded “if you are sick I will make some broth and noodles for you,” he said and went back to sparing

Winter smiled.
"Thanks kiddo."
She went into the medical bay and sat down. Soon enough a medical droid came by and ran a few blood tests. When the droid came back, it issued a mechanical congratulations. She thought it was odd. Until she read the blood test results. She stood up and bolted out of the medical bay to go back to Leia. She ran past Hiro and Finn, and Finn looked up confused. She continued running until she hit Leia's hall. As she was running through Leia's living quarters, she started yelling for her.
"LEIA! Where are you?! Oh my stars I got the blood results back."
Leia frantically appeared out of her room.
"My stars Win what is going on?!"
Winter thrust the blood test results into Leia's hands and watched her eyes widened, and then Leia started laughing.
"Oh my stars. You've been busy I can see. Congrats Win. Have you told Elias yet?"
Winter tried to calm her racing heart.
"No I haven't. I need to find him. Can you call him here?"
Leia smiled.
"Of course I can."
She pulled out a comlink.
"Hey Elias, I'm going to need you to come to my hall. I have an important matter I need to discuss with you and Winter. If you can come as soon as possible that would be great."
Elias heard his comlink crackle and he heard Leia's voice. He scooped up Frost and headed to Leia's hall.

Hiro felt his mother's force motion. He ran to her as well, tears welling in his eyes as his brain thought the worst.
Blackish-grey smoke filled the halls

Elias walked around the corner holding Frost.
"What's up?"
Winter looked at Elias and tried to keep a straight face as Leia handed him the paper she had been holding. Elias started reading. He froze, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Really? Are you really?"
Winter nodded, tears welling in her eyes too. Elias set Frost down and embraced Winter gently.
"This is truly the best surprise I could have gotten today."
Finn cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry to break the moment but what's going on? We came running because we saw Winter sprint out of the medical bay. Hiro and I are both pretty tense right now."
Elias laughed and wiped tears from his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong boys. In fact, it's on of the best days of my life. This piece of paper holds the results to Winter's blood test. And looking at it, the blood test shows that I'm going to be a dad, and the both of you,"
Elias gestured to Hiro and Frost,
"Are going to be big brothers."
Frost stopped moving and looked at his father.
"I'm going to be a what now?"

“You're going to be a big brother too, but you'll always be my little brother,” he said and scooped frost up, spinning him around happily

It finally clicked for Frost.
"THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ME?!"
Elias laughed and Winter laughed, Finn snorted, and Leia tried to hide the smile that was beaming from under her hand. Leia clasped her hands together.
"This is a huge announcement. People in the senate are going to go wild. If it's alright with you, I would like to announce that you're expecting at the next senate meeting. You're bound to get a lot of support."
Winter nodded.
"That would be fantastic. From the looks of the blood tests, I'm about two months along. I'll find out the gender of the baby in about a month and a half. To be honest, I was not expecting to find out that I am going to have another child. I was really expecting that I had a cold or something. This is all fantastic."
Elias chuckled.
"I guess I have to get ready huh? If I remember correctly, you didn't start showing until about seven and a half to eight months. And you continued fighting until you were eight months along. Don't get me wrong, it made me panic every time you fought, but you were always so careful."
Winter smiled.
"You know it hun. I'm in the action until I can't be."
She looked at Hiro.
"This does not change our sparring and training schedule."
