*Starts off from Leia's pov but will switch to Rey's too my take on their relationship, this is just the first chapter

Leia: Rey had just come back with Luke, thankfully he had agreed to return, I had felt it in the force the second I saw her I knew she was my daughter before they even told me her name.

She had been taken from me at age 5, A group of storm troopers had told me they had killed her because Ben had ordered it so, I was devastated.

I had never stopped looking for her though, even if it was just a body I found, I had needed closure, I loved her more than anything.

It was one of the hardest things for me to send her off to find Luke and not tell her that I was her mom, but I knew if I told her she would probably never have left me to find him.

"I didn't tell her" Luke whispered as he hugged me tightly "Thank you" I whisper "I'm so sorry about Han and for leaving like that, you know I love you" He says "I love you too my twin!" I said playfully.

"I'm uh going to let the two of you talk" Luke motioned to Rey I nodded as she gave me a confused look.

"Please sit my dear" I said sitting down on the couch patting next to me she did as I said

"I brought Luke back just as you asked me too" She said trying to remain calm I could tell she was anxious.

"I have to tell you something" Tears welled in my eyes it was all I could do to keep myself from scooping her up into my arms and holding her, she was mearly 20 and had been alone for so long.

"Whats going on?" Her voice shaking she looked frightened like she was afraid I would hit her

I took her hands into mine "Rey, I'm your mother I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner" I said my voice heavy I looked deep into her eyes lovingly but so pained.

I could see the hurt in her eyes she backed away "Why did you abandon me, and on jakku in a horrible situation like that how could you have just let me live that way?!" She says curling up in a ball next to me crying.

"Rey, you were taken from me by a bunch of people claiming to be storm troopers, They said they had murdered you because Kylo Ren had ordered it done. Please you have to believe me I never stopped looking for you even though I didn't know you were alive, Never, Rey I love you more than anything I never gave up" I said breaking down in tears.

I couldn't control myself I pulled her tight into my arms I felt her sink into them clinging to me "I was abandoned on Jakku no one would tell me where I came from it was classified, I was sold to the local junk yard dealer who had me raped and beat me when I didn't bring back enough and I had to live in an abandoned ship, I was homeless, alone and thought no one wanted me" She cried.

"I'm so sorry, I'm here now and I want you more than anything, I know nothing can change what happened to you but I will never let us get separated again I promise,your safe now, no one's going to hurt you here" I say softly rocking her gently against me trying to calm her my heart broke for what she had been through.

"I love you" She whispered burying her head in my chest, I cried even harder

"Oh my sweet little girl" I cooed over her kissing the top of her head.

She was alive and had found her way back to me, I was going to keep her safe and I was going to be there for her no matter what, I wasn't leaving her side, I had been so devastated when she went missing.

"What happened when they took me from you?" She asked looking up at me

"You were playing in the park when they appeared out of no where, I tried to grab a hold of you but they got to you before I could do anything and dragged you away you fought so hard, I was cornered on the ground as they took off with you I couldn't do anything I was so helpless, one of them came back about 5 minutes later and said they killed you, I was so devastated, you've been my whole world from the moment you were born" I said looking into her eyes.

I felt her pull me closer "I'm sorry, I had no idea, I shouldn't of assumed you abandoned me" she said, it struck my heart.

"You have nothing to apologize for, you didn't do anything wrong if anything I should be apologizing for not being able to stop them" I said upset

"It's not your fault either, but I have to ask why didn't you and Han just tell me?" She asked

"I needed you to bring my twin home and I knew if I told you that you'd probably never leave me" I respond.

"Your right about that, I'm never going to let you lose me again" She said softly staring at me with those big loving eyes

"I was there the day you were born, I'm sorry I wasn't there when it happened if I hadn't of been in hiding" Luke said sandwiching her into a hug.

Rey had cut him off "No don't apologize, I understand you feared for your own life" She said, she had such a big heart so full of forgiveness after everything she had been through, just like me I smiled down at her sadly .

"You've got a family now" He said

"For life, forever" I jumped in kissing the top of her head again resting my head against hers

"I guess happy endings really do exist" She whispered
