Jacen Solo set Allana down in Rey's arms. He looked up to her apologetically, chocolate eyes shining with I shed tears. She looked back at him, unsure about what would happen next.

"Why must you leave?" she whispered.

"I have to make sure the prophecy of the Sith tassels never come true," he said. "I'm sorry, Rey. I have to do this for us. I have to do this for Allana."

"I love you," Rey said. "Please be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll come back for you, sweetheart," Jacen said, placing his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "May the Force be with you."

"And also with you."

He gave her a sad smile, and turned away to get into the Twin Suns. Rey watched for the second time of her life as a ship pulled away in the distance. She turned, sensing the presence of her contact. She knew that this planet was particularly strange. There was a secret population of Force-users, but they lived in secret. This planet had also barely scraped space travel.

"Hello, Madam Solo," said a wise old man in violet robes. "I see you have come, and right on time."

"Of course, Dumbledore," Rey said, stumbling over the name of her contact. "Thank you for helping with this transition."

"Of course, I do not mind," Dumbledore said. "I have an assignment for you."

"In exchange for your services?" Rey asked with a frown.

"You misunderstand me. I would do this for a young mother for nothing," Dumbledore said. "But you can help me, and a little boy and girl especially."

"A little boy and girl?"

"His name is Harry Potter and last night his parents died at the hands of Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard," Dumbledore said. "Somehow, little Harry defeated him."

"The poor boy," Rey murmured empathetically. "How old is he?"

"Only a year old," he said. "I've taken him to the only family he has. His sister, Lucy, also survived. They will both be living in the house next door from you. I'd like you to keep an eye on them, make sure they stay out of trouble."

"I think I can do that," Rey said. "Besides, they'd be about Allana's age."

"Ah," Dumbledore said with a smile. "Thank you, Madam Solo."

It would only be a few years later when they spoke again.

"The Potter girl-"

"I heard," Dumbledore said. "The Durands are a good wizarding family. They will take care of her. I have a friend of the Durands who can check on her."

"Are you sure?" Rey asked. "I felt a dark presence surrounding that girl."

"I'm sure," Dumbledore assured her. "But if it would settle your mind, you can take your daughter to France-"

"I will keep her here," Rey said decisively. "But I may leave sometime. With Allana."

"Understood." Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling. He then Disapparated. Rey let out a sigh and turned to her house. She entered to see her daughter playing with her toys on the floor. She smiled and picked her up.

"Allie, your father is coming today," she murmured. "He's coming to visit us."

"Daddy's come?" Allie asked, her chocolate eyes as wide and charismatic as her father's.

"He will," Rey promised. "Let's clean up your toys, okay?"

"Okay."

Rey set the little girl down on the ground and helped her move all of her toys back to her room. Rey had to admit, she might have spoiled the girl, but she couldn't help it. All she could remember was her own childhood, being that young and left a slave to Unkar Plutt. Her little girl would have a childhood, she'd make damn sure of that.

She tucked the tendrils that had gotten loose behind her ear. She straightened her shirt nervously. It was the first time she'd worn any of her normal clothes in a long time. They were hidden in the back of her closet. She was tasked only with watching over Harry Potter while on Earth, so most of her clothes reflected that. Some of it was alright. But she always felt most comfortable in these old clothes.

"Hey, sweetheart."

Rey turned to see him standing on her front porch. She grinned and embraced him. Allana ran out. They broke their embrace, and Jacen got on his knees.

"Hi, Allie," he said. He hugged his daughter. "I'm so happy to see you."

She grinned.

"Why don't we let him in, and then you can talk to him," she said with a smile.

Allana nodded, and allowed Jacen in. She then trailed after him, babbling about anything and everything. Rey smiled, watching the two of them. He even presented her with a gift-a stuffed tauntaun.

For a single night, a happily ever after seemed in their reach. Yet when Rey awakened in the morning, Jacen was gone.
