At the resistance base, Leia and Han were engaged in a quietly heated conversation about whether or not he should go with the group to starkiller base. Leia wanted him to go so he could try to talk some sense into their son while Han was sure it wouldn't do any good so he gently refused to go.

"Han-" Leia tried to reason with him but Han wasn't listening,"No Leia, I'm not going! Look, I get it but you remember what happened when Luke tried to talk sense into your father and look how that turned out! By the time he realized the jedi he used to be, he had to sacrifice himself for your brother and it got him killed. I'm sorry Leia, really I am but I am not going to risk having to fight our son to death and get one or both of us killed. Besides I'm sure Chewy can look after Rey and Finn, not only that but Poe and the rest of the flight squad will be there too. I'm staying here with you and if you want to be angry about it fine but I ain't going!" Han explained with huff.

"Fine! Do what you want Han but I warn you, if something happens to Ray, Finn or Chewy and Poe I hold you responsible. Oh and Han, if you're staying then do me a favor...?" Leia said and Han sighed.

"Yes Sweetheart?" Han questioned with his typical cocky grin.

"Stay out of my way Sweetheart!" Leia hissed before spinning on her heel and storming out of the command center.

"As you wish General Organa!" Han called after her cheekily.

Han decided to give her some time and space to calm down and went for a walk.

If only Luke were here, he could use the force to try and get through to Ben. Han doubted it would work but at this point he just wanted Leia to be happy again like she used to be before all this happened.

Han hated it when they fought and wished that he could just hold her in his arms again like he used to, he loved her so much and despite all their arguments and fights he knew he would never stop loving her.

Han walked over to a spot just outside the landing field and sat down in the sand as the sun began to set and the stars began to shine throughout the navy colored sheet of the galaxy.

He stared up at the stars and lost himself in thoughts and memories of his years together with Leia.

"I was wondering where you got off to, I was worried you'd went with Rey and Chewy after all." Leia said softly as she sat down beside him.

"I thought you wanted me to go?" Han asked and Leia snickered,"I did but then I realized that I was acting foolish and that I'm not the only one who's hurting right now though I know you'd never admit it. I'm sorry for taking my anger out on you earlier. I'm just so frustrated! I mean, where did we go wrong? Why is he doing this?" Leia replied and Han knew she meant their son.

"Honey, I don't know why he's doing this. I wish I did, if only to give you some kind of explanation but I don't and I'm sorry. As for where we went wrong, that's just it Leia I don't think there was anything we could have said or done that we haven't already. I honestly don't think we did anything wrong that could have led him to the dark side, we spent whatever free time we had with him, we loved him very much as did Luke and Chewy. This is not our fault Leia, it just happened and what caused it to happen in the first place I have no idea but if there's one thing I do know it's that we are not to blame." Han said comfortingly and noticed that Leia was shivering.

"Come on I think it's time to go inside for the night. Plus, you're cold and I think we could both use a good night's sleep." Han told her as he stood up and then held out his hand to help her up.

Leia took his hand and he pulled her to her feet and into his arms before they shared a chaste kiss and walked back to base hand in hand.

At starkiller base

Rey and the others were making their way back to the Falcon and the other ships.

Chewy picked up an unconscious Finn and made his way to the Falcon right behind Rey.

"C'mon Chewy, we gotta go before this base blows!" Rey called out and Chewy growled in the affirmative.

Ray made her way onto the Falcon and into the pilots seat as Chewy made sure Finn was tucked in safely before making his way to the co-pilots seat.

Poe kept watch over Finn as they took off and made their way back to the resistance base.

"Hold on back there, we're about hit light speed!" Rey informed Poe and he held on to Finn with one hand while his other hand braced himself for the jump.

"Home sweet home!" Poe called as they landed in the field at the resistance base.

"For you maybe, I'm still not sure where home is for me." Rey said with a sigh.

"What about Jakku?" Poe asked and Rey smiled but shook her head,"Jakku is alright but it never really felt like home. I'm gonna find my family one day and that will be my home, where ever they are will be home to me but for now the resistance feels enough like a home." Rey explained and Poe smiled.

Chewy with Finn in his arms and Poe made their way into the base.

Rey took a deep breath and made her way off the Falcon only to see General Leia waiting for her,"Hello General, you'll be pleased to know that we successfully destroyed starkiller base. However, we failed to defeat Kylo-Ren." Rey said sadly and Leia smiled.

"Please call me Leia and I'm glad starkiller is gone but you did not fail, Ben has always been one to slip through your fingers just when you think you've got him cornered." Leia replied with a sigh and Rey looked confused though said nothing.

"How is Finn? Is he going to be okay?" Rey asked slightly frantic as tears slipped from her hazel eyes and Leia nodded.

"Finn is still unconscious but he will recover with time and lots of rest but I'm more worried about you and if you're going to be okay." Leia said softly and Rey smiled sadly.

"I'll be alright. I just wish I knew what happened to my family, something must have happened because they wouldn't have just left me on Jakku I know they wouldn't but they're out there somewhere. I can feel it and I will find them one day." Rey explained and Leia suddenly felt the need to hug this girl which slightly confused her.

Leia opened her arms inviting Rey for a hug which she accepted with a sad smile and before she realized it she laid her head on Leia's shoulder.

Leia thought of her own daughter that she and Han had lost so long ago and wondered if it were possible... No she was dead, Luke had told them as much and nothing would change that. Still, Leia couldn't help but be reminded of her Jaina by the young woman still embraced in her arms.

"Come on, let's get you something to eat and then you go can see Finn in the medical bay." Leia said softly and Rey nodded against her shoulder before pulling back.

So Leia and Rey walked inside together and just as they got to the mess hall Leia spotted Han pacing around in the corridor,"What's with Han? He looks so agitated." Rey snickered and Leia chuckled.

"He's always agitated. Well I better go see what's bothering him now but go eat something and then you'd better go see Finn. I'll see you later. Oh and Rey, if you need anything at all..." Leia trailed off and Rey laughed with a nod of her head.

"I'll come find you." Rey finished for her with slight amusement.

Leia smiled and watched her retreating form as she went to eat before going to talk to Han.

"Han! Would you quit pacing, you're making me nervous." Leia said in a harsh whisper and Han spun around to meet her gaze.

"Sorry. Uh, are the kids alright?" Han asked nervously and Leia snorted,"Really Han? You've been pacing around here like a madman and driving me crazy because you're worried about Rey and Finn?"

"Well of course I'm worried, they're just kids." Han exclaimed and Leia snickered,"No Han, they're not just kids. They're the same age you and I were when we went through all this with Luke and they're tougher than they appear to be. Yes, both of them are fine." Leia said and Han raised an eyebrow.

"But?" Han replied knowing there was more to it then that,"But Finn got hurt by our son in a light saber duel while trying to protect Rey-" Leia said as Han was about to say something she continued,"Let me finish. Finn is unconscious right now but with time and rest he will recover as his wounds are not fatal."

"Okay and Rey? How is she?" Han asked with a hint of fatherly concern.

"She's worried about Finn but otherwise she seems to be perfectly fine. Don't worry so much, they'll be alright." Leia replied concern etched in her voice.

"Han? Honey what's wrong? I haven't seen you this upset since..." Leia trailed off unable to finish her sentence and Han nodded.

"That's just it Leia, Rey... she's what I always imagined our daughter would look like at nineteen and I just..." Han trailed off and Leia wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"I know Han, I know. I miss her too, not a day goes by where I don't wonder if maybe just maybe she's still out there somewhere and still alive and I know it's foolish to think that way but we never did find her... body and Luke didn't see it happen. He said that Ben was getting supplies and that Ben heard her screaming so he ran to help her but when he got there she was dead and her killer was gone." Leia whispered sadly and Han growled.

"But Leia, Luke wasn't with Ben. How do we know that Ben didn't just make that up, I mean what if he was already being tempted by the dark side and we didn't even know it. What if she really is still alive out there somewhere and she's been alone all this time? I need to know what happened to my little girl, our little girl. Because not knowing, it's killing me to think that our princess is out there. I mean what if something happened and we weren't there to protect her because I would never forgive myself if something like that were to happen and I couldn't keep her safe." Han ranted quietly as the tears he didn't notice were slipping down his cheeks.

"But Han, honey it wouldn't be your fault and nobody would blame you for something you had no control over. Sweetheart, I love you and we will find her or at least find out what happened to her but you cannot go on blaming yourself for this." Leia whispered softly and Han scoffed humorlessly.

"Can't I? Leia, I'm supposed to be her father and if something happened to her and I wasn't there to protect her well then... what kind of father am I? I don't want to believe that Ben could have had anything to do with it but what if I'm wrong? What if he was envious of the control she had over the force at such a young age and decided to abandon her or something? She was only four years old! Why would someone do something like that to a four year old girl without a reason? It dosen't make any sense, there has to be more to the story and Ben knows what it is of that I am positive." Han hissed in frustration and Leia sighed.

"Well then we'll deal with him and whatever other issues might come our way as we always do, together but first we have something else to do. We have to find my brother and we only have two parts of the map to his location and we still don't have the last piece of it. Are you-" Leia tried to ask him if he would be okay when someone called out to her.

"Leia, I think you might want to see this!" Rey called and Leia and Han ran to command center.

When they got there they saw that R2-D2 had come out hybernation and was showing them the last part of the map that led to Luke's whereabouts.

"Welcome back R2!" Leia greeted her old friend with a smile and R2 made a series of beeps that meant that he was glad to be back now that Luke would be returning.

"Yes, I know what you mean R2. It hasn't been the same without my brother around here and thanks to you and BB8 here we now know where to go so we can drag his jedi butt back here." Leia said with a laugh and R2 bleeped at her.

"What did he say?" Han asked and Leia snickered,"He said that he agrees with me and to give Luke a swift kick for him."

"R2! That's not very nice." C3PO exclaimed and R2 made a sound that only Leia and 3po understood.

"Don't ask because I am not going to repeat what he said. Just know it is not something you should ever say around children if you know I mean." Leia said with a meaningful look and everyone understood that whatever R2 had said was not very nice at all.

Suddenly R2 started moving towards the door that led out to the landing field.

"R2? Where do you think you're going?" Leia asked and R2 replied that he was going to see Luke and if they were coming to hurry up.

"Chewy, Poe! Let's go!" Leia shouted in excitement and Han gave her a look that clearly said "Really?"

"Don't look at me like that! I'm going to get my brother Han and you're coming with me. Rey, you coming?" Leia asked after putting Han in his place.

"I don't know, I feel as if I'd be intruding on a family moment." Rey replied sheepishly and Leia waved a hand dismissively.

"Don't be silly, you're more than welcome to come along. Besides you've got my brother's light saber and that dosen't just happen to anybody, there is a reason that light saber came into your possession. Don't you want to find out what that reason is?" Leia asked softly and Rey nodded.

"I do but it'll have to wait because unless you need me for something else, I'd like to spend some time trying to find my family if that's alright." Rey requested gently and Leia nodded.

"Alright but I'm sending Poe with you and I won't change my mind, wandering the galaxy alone is not wise for a young woman such as yourself even if she is a jedi." Leia replied and Rey smiled.

"Thank you Leia, for everything. I've felt more at home here than I have anywhere in my entire life and it makes me sad to leave you now but I will see all of you again soon but until then I will send a holo-com as often as I can." Rey said with a sad smile as she hugged everyone goodbye.

"Chewy, you take care of them for me alright?" Rey requested as Chewbacca picked her up and hugged her tightly.

Chewy replied that he would make sure they all came back in one piece if it was the last thing he did and Rey snickered.

"Okay but I better see your face when I get back or you'll be in big trouble." Rey told the wookie and Chewbacca roared with laughter when he settled her on her feet.

Leia hugged Rey goodbye and kissed her forehead,"Promise me you'll stay safe and come back when ever you can. I'll miss you." Leia told her as she pulled back and Rey nodded.

"I'll miss you too, all of you and I will be safe I promise." Rey replied as she wiped her tears.

"Rey, may the force be with you." Leia told her and Rey smiled,"May the force be with all of you as well. I will see you soon and good luck. I hope you find Luke and that I'll get to meet him one day."

"Goodbye." Rey called as she and Poe walked to the ship they would use for their travels.

Leia, Han, Chewbacca, BB8, R2-D2 and c3po made their way to the Falcon and prepared for their jump through hyperspace.
