Well, she could have hoped yet again that Han wouldn't want to know, but of course he would. But she had brought it up, there was no way she could back out. Nor would she. She was stronger than that, even if the truth hurt and she worried it would turn Han from her. But he deserved to know everything. If they were to have a relationship, she couldn't keep things from him, no matter how much they hurt. True, she never went into what had happened before they met, what with Vader torturing her, but still....
"It was a year you were in Carbonite. In between the Rebellion, I was searching for you, different acts even as a bounty hunter. It halted when Luke got Crimson Forever..." Han would know what that was, he was the one who had explained it to her during the three years they had been running from the Empire, before the events of their relationship had transpired, "I called on Lando and he, Chewbacca and I managed to save Luke and we went back to searching for you. It was about a year after when we found out where Jabba was keeping you..."
Talking about Jabba, something so close to where she was from, had Leia swallow and tense but she pushed on.
"The three of us, Chewbacca, Lando, and I infiltrated his lair, I pretended to have Chewbacca and demanded more ransom. During that time, I got you out of the Carbonite but our ruse was discovered." Pausing, Leia closed her eyes and continued, "You were sentenced to death. I was given a different sentence..." Leia could only hope that Han wouldn't ask. He knew how Jabba worked. He would know what happened to women in Jabba's presence. "That's when Luke showed up, but he was thrown into the rancor pit. He defeated it." A ghost of a smile flickered on Leia's lips even as she brought her hand up to where the chain around her neck had been, "So he, Chewbacca and you were sentenced to be thrown sarlacc. That was when Lando came into play. While he and Luke were fighting as you were temporarily blinded by the Carbonite, I killed Jabba and we all escaped."
Sitting down, Leia sighed and looked out the window, her mind flashing back to that time, so soon from what she knew. Sometimes she could still feel the chain around her neck and down her back, the slime of Jabba's body against her back...
"After that, we headed to the forest moon of Endor. There was a second Death Star being built, and it's generator was kept there... we were separated after our location was discovered but met up again in the Ewok village... The night before the final battle, I found out the truth of my biological family." Looking to Han, Leia's features were a mixture of cold mask that she wore when she was dealing with things that were difficult, as well as uncertainty and worry, "Luke is my twin brother and my father...." Taking a breath, she moved forward, "My father is Darth Vader.. That's all I remember before showing up here." And now to wait for the inevitable blow up.
