What have Ollie and his uncles been up to?

Ollie has been spending a lot of time with his uncles and grandparents.

He visited jack and Luke in New Jersey and spent about a week with them while Quinn and y/n went on a little trip alone. (Ellen and Jim were on speed dial the entire time)

“What do you mean he doesn’t know how to use a toilet on his own yet? Hes 3! I wasn’t told I had to change diapers.” - Jack or Luke at some point probably.

Prompt: Luke is left alone for the first time with the twins. Maybe we see his point of view, maybe the aftermath. Could be any age from legit babies to toddlers to 5 years old.

Thank you @cellophane19 for the fabulous prompt! 💛 This is based on a true story 😁

Within minutes of Han’s departure, Luke discovered babies cannot sit upright. It was a more painful lesson for him than the twins, thankfully. He’d plopped them on the carpet without a thought, Jaina immediately pitching forward, Jacen, gurgling happily, toppling backwards.

With a groan, Luke gathered his niece and nephew back safe into his arms. They settled easily, cozy and calm.

Why had he thought he could handle a baby, much less two?

“Promise not to tattle on Uncle Luke to Daddy,” he sighed, Force-pulling bottles to little mouths. “And I promise not to make any more assumptions about babies.”

Luke ^^

Yeah, I tried that, but…for some reason everyone acts like the Jedi are this super old ancient extinct people group, when literally two generations ago there were thousands of them. And they weren’t even in hiding or anything. In fact, they were so non-isolationist, they ended up getting all tied up in the Republic’s military affairs.

But, uh…not everyone believes that’s true, I guess. When the Empire took over, there were some creative government-backed reinterpretations of history that still persist to this day. You’d think it wouldn’t be that easy to rewrite history in a single generation. You’d think. But even people who hate the Empire still believe some of the things they said, because the Empire really just wiped a whole bunch of information off the HoloNet and destroyed all physical evidence of the Jedi and took control of interplanetary school curriculums and bribed all the mainstream news sources, and so the degree to which they tampered with the public knowledge is difficult to undo.

I only know about the Jedi’s history because my uncle’s a Jedi and he can talk to ghosts. So clearly, I’m the one with the more reliable information. I don’t know why people don’t trust me when I say that.

But back to Fannie’s saber—the New Republic is pretty anti-weaponry, due to the excessive militarism of the Empire. Primarily in regards to its own armed forces, but for civilians too. My dad complains about it aaaall the time because Hotshot Gunslinger Han Solo has to renew his blaster certificates every year and he has to do it for every weapon he owns. And he always has to retake the test, because he forgets that you’re not supposed to just point your blaster straight back and fire without turning around. No matter how badass it makes you look.

So…with Fannie’s lightsaber, which is not easily categorized as any known weapon…I think the good ol’ RepCity PD plans on keeping it in “we’ll look into this” hell for all eternity. Uncle Luke will be here a few days before the wedding, and I’m hoping he can give us a hand with that. In fact, I asked him if he could give us a hand with that. And he said, “Sure, do you want the organic one or the prosthetic one?” And I said, “WOW UNCLE LUKE, LIKE I HAVEN’T HEARD THAT ONE A HUNDRED MILLION TIMES.”

Luke’s not an NR citizen, actually, since he doesn’t live on a member world. He has a traveler’s visa like the one Fannie has. So, not being a citizen might work against him if he tries to negotiate with the police…but, being Luke Freaking Skywalker Who Blew Up The Death Star And Defeated Vader And The Emperor will more than make up for that, probably.

…And if not? Jedi mind tricks. I asked Uncle Luke if he thought it’d be unethical to use Jedi mind tricks on local law enforcement, and he may have given me A Look, but, I mean. He didn’t say no. Just so long as Mom doesn’t find out. Hey, who knows, maybe Dad’ll get that heist he’s been craving after all!
