He nodded as he ate another bite of food, he watched her carefully a moment then took out a book of something, he quickly flipped the pages and then looked at her for a long moment, then the book, her, book, he nodded and put another bite to eat, "Yup, very!"

He nodded and pulled a picture book. He gently looked at it a moment then handed it to her, "Thats you," he says and then puts the book back and continues eating

Amalia sat across from Chris in silence, staring back at the younger version of herself. Not only could she believe what she was seeing but she could not understand why this boy had a picture of her, among other things. She slowly looked up at him, confusion on her face.

"I...I don't understand..."

He quickly took another bite of food then got the book out again, taking another picture out and looked at it a moment, he put the picture down and put another bite into his mouth and gave her another picture of Jenny Braska holding a small, "They told me that was me and mommy... but she was always any..." he said with a sigh then put the book back and continued eating

He took a drink of water then looked at her a moment, "Are you my aunt?"

Amalia's face fell onto the picture of her sister Jenny and the small child. Tears began to form in her eyes, but they never fell down her cheeks as she held the tears at bay.

She thought she had known all the things there was to know about her family. There had been many secrets. First had come her half brother Mitch. She had taken the news about having a half brother in stride, she'd handled it well. Then there was her own hidden secret....

Many had known her by Amnde, she'd left her real name, Amalia, behind, back on Bakura, hoping that if she changed her name it would help her to forget her troubled past. She only been fooling herself then, knowing that she jsut couldn't forget her past no matter how much she tried. So she'd told everyone the truth and they'd all taken it well, as well as could be expected anyhow.

That was not all though. The biggest secret of all had yet to come then....And when that secret had come, well...it turned Amalia's whole world upside down.

All those years, for all those years, Amalia had thought her father dead. Adron Braska, he had not been dead, just lost. He'd Wandered helplessly about the galaxy searching for her.

Life had never been the same for Amalia after she'd reunited with her father again. The reuniting had been one of the happiest yet one of the most confusing times in her life.

Now the newest secret had crept forth, presenting itself to Amalia just when she needed it most. Her quiet times were now over.

She had a nephew.

She stared looking back at him for a long while, noticing his features. She could see Jenny in him, just a little. Though she was sure he looked more like his father.

Questions had rose in her mind.

Had Jenny secretly married shortly before her death? Why hadn't Jenny told her any of this when she'd come to Amalia in her ghost form?

Liberi???...Who is or was the boy's father?

All these questions she wanted answers to, but she was not quite sure if Chris could answer them all.

She pushed her tears back and waited for her eyes to be made clear once more. She stared blankly back at Chris, in shock for the most part.

"I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me, this is very unexpected."

He'd obviously been searching for her, but a small world it was when the two should happen to bump into one another.

She sighed slighly, getting a hold of her emotions at the same time.

"I suppose I must really take the time to get to know you now. Can you tell me anything about your father? I never knew of him, my sister never spoke of him..."

He looked at her a lingering moment, watching her in her silence as he ate, never taking his eyes off her, she did look like her a moment... this was definately new to him and he wasnt exactly sure how to take the news. Should he go up and hug her like family, or stay away til she was finished with her thought. He had been with the people a long time, he gently bit his lip after he finished his last bite, gently moving over to her and wrapping his arms around her at her question

"So you are my aunt... can I spend the night at your house tonight? it beats the streets I am sure..." he said as he watched her eyes carefully.

"Person who was watching me passed away so I came lookig for family... and I found you... thats good right?"

Amalia looked on the boy with sympathy.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

Although Amalia hesitated to trust anyone, she got no bad vibes from this boy. It seemed his intentions had no ill intent, and so, for the most part, she felt she could trust his presence, for the most part.

"You're welcome to stay with me, if you'd like. I have my own quarters here near the Jedi Academy. I'm afraid my actual home is not on this planet. I spent much of my time here on Naboo though, so you could say home is here as well."

She smiled sweetly.

"I'll show you around, if you'd like."

He watched her for a long moment then nodded, he wasnt 100% sure about her... but she was in pictures, she didnt act anything wrong and she seemed nice enough.

Family was everything, but how will I make certain she was/is family... pictures may not lie but they were always scetchy on the whole trust thing... I could be the black sheep of the family, or she could be, so many unanswered questions to think of, for all I know I could be walking into a trap of sorts.

He smiled as he looked at her, gently moving to look at her face a long moment as if to check

"Ok... I guess I can go with you, what will I do aunt?"

Amalia laughed lightly at the question being asked of her, also added in with a bit of jitters, she was not quite ready to being called Aunt yet.

"What will you do??? Well, I'm not sure what you mean. I suppose what you will do...that will be up to you to decide."

She smiled lightly, patting him on the arm.

"Let's not worry about that now though, ok? I'll show you around first, let you have a look at everything. maybe then you'll find something of interest that you might like?"

He nodded as he looked at her carefully, running a hand to her face a moment, he nodded.

"You decide the first few days... then I'll think about it, so many changes... ok?"

OOC: Ah, my bad, Chris, I apologize.

IC: Amalia was still have amazed at the prospect of this young boy being her nephew. It just did not seem to fit, nor did it make sense.

Amalia was half dazed, it showed on her face and when she tried to speak.

"Um...ok...Chris, I am just a little curious, how old did you say you were???"
