The world was practically collapsing around them, but all Leonel could look at were the two bundles in his arms. He couldn't see them, but he could feel them all too clearly.
They were slippery, soaked through in water and blood, but they were so soft and supple to the touch, so delicate that he felt that if he pressed on them even a little bit too hard, he might accidentally break them.
He could feel their little wiggles and their strong heartbeats, their attempts to cry out that were somewhat suppressed by the Force swirling around them.
But he could also feel their closeness to him. Their reliance, their inherent trust and security.
The tears brimmed in Leonel's eyes, and he found that his heart was overflowing.
Seeing her husband in such a state, Aina couldn't hold back her own tears. They had already been there, but they flowed even faster than before.
