video; Tuesday week 90

[Anyone who's been to the Skywalkers' apartment will recognize their living room in the background. Luke looks tired but happier than he's been in a while.]

I'm hoping I can ask a favor of somebody. We're in the home stretch now and Kaylee could go into labor any day. She's been able to get rides from people here and there but as far as our own reliable transportation, all we have is the motorcycle, and that won't work for obvious reasons.

[It would be both scary and ridiculous. Seriously, try not to picture it.]

Would anyone be willing to lend us their vehicle for... maybe a few weeks tops? Something that would be safe for Kaylee, just so that we're not stuck begging someone for a ride to the hospital at three in the morning while Kaylee's having contractions. As you can probably imagine, that would be a disaster.

[He briefly presses his lips together in thought.]

Actually, come to think of it, would anybody be okay with being woken up in the middle of the night to be our backup ride or help in general if we need it? I'm trying to be prepared for all the possibilities and... it'd be nice to know who we can call on just in case.

You know I've always got your back.

Also I think I might be contractually obligated to let you guys wake me up at 0300 after taking you joyriding in space.

[Luke laughs.]

Kaylee might agree with that, but it's not like you forced me at gunpoint. I'm, uh, actually starting to realize that I probably shouldn't have gone. Not this close to Padme's birth. I could have missed it so easily.

I guess I was a little too excited about having an adventure. So... kind of my own dumb fault I think. You're still game though?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Of course I'm game. Friends are there for the important things. And this is a pretty big one.

Big enough that in retrospect that probably wasn't the best idea ever. But we're back.

[So he's not getting shot]

Thanks, Wes. [Luke gives the camera a grateful smile.]

And hey, in our defense we had no idea we'd experience any time anomalies. I didn't think being gone for a few days a month before the baby was due would be a big deal. It probably wasn't the best idea ever but it wasn't terrible either.
