In the reckless vampire au with vampire Jocasta can we see her coo over vampire luke and vampire leia when vampire anakin brings them to the temple during a day where the handmaidens can't watch them? With dooku being kinda nervous around them because he did a lot of horrible things to his line but he realizes he can make it up by making sure his great great grandkids don't turn evil.

Yan Dooku watches from afar, as his mate starts throwing the laughing blonde boy high into the air. Even without having seen Skywalker drop the twins in the archives, the former Sith would have immediately known that those two were Anakin Skywalker’s children. Luke, looked a lot like his father, while his sister resembled their mother. All in all, it was not hard to guess, to whom they belonged.
Still, the male vampire did not step from behind the bookshelf, his unofficial hiding place. Instead he kept watching, how his mate kept playing with the energetic children.
Yan turned away from the merry scene. He was not sure, what to do. He couldn’t just go and approach them just like this, right? Even IF they did not know about the things he had done, surely neither Skywalker, nor the Senator would want him anyway near them. No, it was better that he stayed away from them as good as possible. Little did the count know, that his mate had other plans.
“Yan?” Dooku jumped a little, when the female vampire’s voice suddenly whispered right into his ear.
“Yes?” his voice was NOT trembling, thank you very much.
“Here,” there was an evil look on Jocasta’s features and in the next moment, the white haired male found his arms full of two energetic and wide awake young vampires. Dumbly, he looked down at the twins and then back to his mate. “I need to go to the fresher, do me a favor and look after them while I am gone, yes?” Jocasta did not wait for an answer, she simply turned around and left.
Sometimes, people needed to be forced so that they could find their luck, at least that is, what Jocasta thought about the current situation.
Two pairs of eyes stared up at him and Yan had no idea what he was supposed to do.
“You look funny,” said the young girl, while the boy was tightly gripping his robe, with finger that had previously been in his mouth.
“Oh? And why is that?” he asked.
Instead of a direct answer, he found his beard being ‘molested’ by small children hands. Strangely, he did not mind as much as he probably should have.
“So… would you like to hear a story?” it was the first thing that came to his mind. He had often told Qui-Gon stories, especially after an eventful day or after a nightmare. His former Padawan had even learnt one or two things from his stories.
“Please,” that was the boy, who rested his head against the older vampire’s chest. He seemed comfortable.
“Alright,” he moved himself and his precious cargo to one of the more comfortable chairs that were secluded in an area, specially designed for reading stories to crechelings. Nowadays, those areas were rarely used. “Then listen closely…”
And Yan began to wove his tail. It was about brave warrior and about a man, a mentor, who had lost his way, but who found the right path again, thanks to the ones he loved. It was a magic tail, with many fights and a beautiful princess - the last had been a wish of the vampire girl - and of course, it all ended in a happy end. By the time he was finished, the twins were fast asleep and Yan secretly found himself hoping, that they learned something from this story. He hoped that they learnt that there was a light path and one full of darkness and that it was better, to avoid the latter.
An amused chuckle came to his ears and when the white haired male looked up, he found himself staring into the soft yet amused eyes of his mate. Only now did the former Sith notice, how late it has gotten. He had completely lost all sense of time. It was no wonder that the children were asleep now, as late as it had gotten.
Jocasta slowly stepped forward, on silent feet, and leaned down to peek his cheek. Yan was only a little surprised. She still loved him, and he still loved her. That was no secret. But his past still hung between and and Yan was not sure, if it would ever leave again. For now however, he had other worries. Carefully, the vampire male handed over his female charge, but he kept a hold of the blonde boy, who was still tightly holding on to him anyway. It felt good to have a family again.
