"Anakin!" Luke said. "Are Corran and Tahiri with you?"

"Wow," he breathed.
"Hello, Anakin," Mara said weakly. "I knew you'd be here."
"I thought you were ... can I come closer?"
"Sure."
Anakin stared down at the newborn. "Are they all that ugly?" He blurted.
"You'll want to rephrase that," Mara said, "After what I just went through. Think in the general direction of antonyms."
"I mean, he's -"
"His name is Ben," Luke said.
"He's beautiful. In the Force, and ... But he's all sort of squinched and wrinkly."
"Just like you were." Mara said.
"And you're really okay?"
"I've never, ever been better," Mara told him. "Everything is perfect." She looked down at her child. "Perfect." As weary as it was, her smile had enough wattage to light all of Coruscant.
