Chewbacca’s Regret
Chewbacca was there when they found out.
He’d known days before an ill but stubborn Leia had finally allowed herself to be talked into an exam; a subtle alteration in her scent, much like the pregnant females on Kashyyyk.
He watched Han pace the hall outside the medbay, anxiously waiting to find out what was wrong.
He witnessed the briefest flash of fear in Han’s eyes before his friend had laughed in wonder and twirled Leia around in joy.
Chewbacca was there the first time little Ben giggled at his stuffed bantha, floating gently across the room toward his startled father.
He saw Han pale, the fear back in his eyes, saw the way his hands clenched before he forced himself to smile at his son. “Good job, buddy. Let’s go show Mommy.”
Chewbacca was there the night young Ben heard his parents arguing about what to do.
He saw Ben’s shoulders slump as he realized they were going to send him away. He tried to comfort, keening and nuzzling Ben’s soft, featherlike hair. Witnessed Ben’s heart break.
Chewbacca was there when Ben left.
He saw Han’s fear in Ben’s eyes.
Chewbacca was there when Kylo Ren murdered his father.
