"General Skywalker?" Rey asked, staying at a distance from the mourning general of the Republic. Rey could barely see Leia's features from under her hand, but she could tell she wasn't crying. Rey fingered the rough satchel that held her brother and father's former blue lightsaber, and was about to turn away when the General finally responded.
"I prefer Organa," Leia replied, her voice coarse from sensing Han's death at the hands of their only son. Rey, quickly turned around and clasped her hands behind her back, but gave a confused expression. "It was the name of my adoptive family, and since my father turned his heart dark and I never met my mother, I simply choose to use that name." Leia looked ahead trying yet again to tap into the force to sense her brother's location in the galaxy, but to no avail. Leia looked over at Rey and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"I was only going to ask if you were alright," Rey politely asked.
"I'm...alright. I learned long ago that mourning the dead is useless," Leia replied solemnly staring straight ahead as Rey felt pity for the general. She had heard so much about the three, brave leaders of Rebellion, and of the courageous Skywalker Twins, but now she was seeing one of them right in front of her, and Leia wasn't like in the stories. Well, not exactly. In all the stories, they paint the Skywalker Twins has near God-like while single-handily destroying both Death Stars and the Emperor, but Leia was partly like those stories, but she seemed more...human.
Rey knocked herself out of her thoughts and said, "Why would mourning be useless, Ma'am?"
Leia still stared off into the distance as some medical droids attended to Finn, a former stormtrooper who turned to the Republic but was nearly one with the force. Leia finally said, "After my mother, father, brother, Planet, daughter, son, sister-in-law, nephew, and now my husband. After all that, mourning just seems like a feeble attempt at rejecting the truth."
Rey was nearly knocked off her by Leia's statement, but tried to keep herself in check as she present before the General of the Republic and a former princess of Alderaan. "I'm sorry you think that, but have hope; your brother may still be alive. And at least you have a family."
Leia's eyes nearly bulged out of her skull as she stared at the young scavenger in front of her, "What do you mean by that?"
"I was abandoned on Jakku, when I was very small, but everyday I waited for my family to come back, but they never did," Rey replied tears nearly dripping from her cheeks, though she did her best to hide it.
Leia stood up, and said in a kind voice, "Maybe one day you and I will find our families."
"General?" Rey quietly and cautiously and carefully, for this was a very odd question to ask. "What was the name of your daughter, and what was she like?"
Leia at first was a bit surprised, but smiled and said, "My daughter was named after my biological mother, Padme Amidala, and she always a very happy little girl with excellent idea on mechanics like Han did." Leia looked up at Rey who was contemplating what she had said. "Any other questions?"
"Just one more. How old was she when she went missing?" Rey asked.
Leia looked down and whispered. "She was just five years old, when she was kidnapped."
Five! That's how old I was when I was left on Jakku. Could I be? No! That's impossible, Rey thought, and then came up with a way to change the subject. "General, Maz Kanata gave me this," Rey said, hesitantly giving the General the metal and black hilted lightsaber. "She told me this belonged to your brother and your father before him."
Leia carefully took the lightsaber in her fingers, and a look of shock printed her face, "I'm surprised she had it or would give you this."
"Pardon me?" Rey asked, a little scared.
"It's just this lightsaber has been missing for years and after Padme disappeared, and Ben was corrupted, it was supposed to go to Luke's son. But, she gave it to you," Leia paused and looked at the girl. "Tell me did you have...visions...when you held it."
"Well, I saw lava and bodies all around if that's what you mean," Rey responded and Leia's eyes nearly bulged, but she shook her head.
She placed the lightsaber back into Rey's hand, and said, "Well, let's hope my brother can train."
"I have that very same hope," Rey said, happily as she placed the lightsaber back into her bag.
Author's note: So this is just a one-shot I came up with after watching Force Awakens, and yes I think Rey is Han and Leia's daughter, but tell me what you think their relationship is.
