Room 313, Monday evening
While this weekend had had its good points, it had also had its bad, and by Monday Jaina had figured that she'd put off resolving one of those issues long enough. Namely, setting things straight with her mother.
It took a few calls throughout the day to be able to get in touch with her, and finally Leia returned the call, warily asking, "Is everything all right? You never leave that many messages."
To be fair, not leaving a lot of messages wasn't because Jaina was being a bad daughter, but because there really wasn't a point. If her parents weren't able to be contacted, leaving several messages wouldn't do much good anyway. So Leia had to be thinking something horrible had happened. "Oh, no, everything's fine," Jaina assured her. "I was just really wanting to get something settled before things got out of hand. I just wanted to make sure you knew- and I'm sure you've heard- but that whole wedding thing is just... not happening."
There was a pause, and even in little blue holographic form, Leia looked something between alarmed and hopeful, with a lot of other things thrown in the mix there. "There was supposed to be a wedding?"
"No. Not at all. Which is why I wanted to clear the air."
"Why would I think you're getting married?" she asked. "I can't say I'd be surprised-"
"Not me," Jaina said quickly. "Jacen."
More silence. "Jacen was supposed to be getting married?" By that tone, maybe she'd had to tell Jacen that yes, he'd accidentally been dating Danni, too.
"No! No, he wasn't supposed to be.... Why do you sound like this is news?" Jaina asked slowly.
"It might have something to do with it being the first I've heard of any of this?"
Uh oh. "You didn't talk to J- Sue?"
"Who's Sue?"
Oh, Jaina wished her mom couldn't see her flail like this. "My... friend Sue. She said she talked to you and told you..."
"No, I never talked to her. I didn't even know you had a friend Sue," said Leia, with that pointed tone that meant that maybe John's claims that Leia had been upset not to hear more from her daughter were a little true. "Why would Sue know that Jacen was supposed to be getting married? To who?"
"Okay, um," said Jaina eloquently. "I think there was a huge misunderstanding, maybe the wires got mixed up again, forget I said anything."
"No, I think we're going to start from the beginning," Leia said.
Roughly half an hour later, Jaina had placed a call to Jacen begging forgiveness, and a call to John, and was really wondering who she had to yell at.
[Omg I had to. Door and post can be open post-call.]
