Jyn took a long swig of her whiskey.

"You know you'll have to ease up on the alcohol." Cassian's accented voice came from her behind her as he slid his arms around her waist.

"Are you sure about that? I thought children drove people to drink."

Cassian kissed the top of her head lovingly. "Maybe just wine. Not the hard stuff for at least three months."

Jyn chuckled and took another swig. "I hope Rey likes rain and dirt."

"Well, when Luke takes her memories away, this will probably be the only world she'll ever know." Cassian replied, taking the bottle out of her hands and finishing the rest.

Jyn got a worried look on her face. "We need to update the bunker soon. In case...Ben comes for her."

"Right." Cassian grimaced. He hated to think that there was a chance of having an encounter with Leia and Han's son, but it was a reality now. And when it came to the dark side of the force, Cassian knew Ben was dangerous.

"Who knows when we'll manage to do that with a little girl around." Jyn couldn't stop the slight gruffness in her voice. "Maybe she and Kay will get along, become playmates or something. And he could distract her while we work on the bunker."

"Mmhm, I think he'd enjoy the company, but we'll have to figure out what to tell him tomorrow."

"He knows us too well, so lying is out of the question. We should just tell the truth, but make him swear to keep it a secret."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Cassian stood still for a moment longer, then he moved back, fingers entwining with Jyn's. "It's late. Come to bed."

"Alright." She followed him inside and once they locked up and turned off the lights in the kitchen and dining room areas, they headed to their bedroom.

Jyn removed her clothes and replaced them with her short night dress. She knew that her breath would kill dragons in the morning, so she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Afterwards, she came back to the bedroom where Cassian was already lying in bed. As she came closer, she noticed the familiar hungry gleam in his eyes.

A small smile spread on her face and she turned off the bedroom light before climbing into bed next to him. "I thought you'd be too tired after all that work you did today."

"I am exhausted, but this is our last night together for a while. Because we are not having sex when she's here. We don't need to scar her for life."

Jyn snorted, climbing into bed. "Well, we have to be quiet," she whispered, watching him fondle her breasts.

"Of course, mi armor. I'm too tired to make you yell." He purred.

"You're also too tired to make your words sound sexy."

He rolled his eyes and kissed her before she slunk down onto him.

Their lovemaking was quick and quiet, as they didn't want to awaken their guests. This moment of passion was something that Jyn and Cassian needed. It would help ease the current tension in their household.

Jyn pushed her hips down to meet her husband's as he thrusted up into her warm depths with tender yet passionate familiarity. A kiss here, a suckle there and it didn't take long before they reached a mutual climax.

Once they finished, Jyn collapsed onto Cassian's chest and fell asleep immediately.

Several hours later, the Andors were up in the morning and making breakfast. Jyn felt a terrible anticipation because today was the day that Luke would leave his child with she and Cassian.

Cassian gripped her hand and kissed it softly. "Still feeling dodgy?"

"Force, yes. My stomach has been in knots since last night."

Before Cassian could respond, Luke and Rey walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning," the girl said sleepily.

"Good morning to you, too," the Andors replied back.

"Cassian, Jyn." Luke nodded, but said nothing else. It was clear that he wanted to leave very soon. He took a seat and pulled Rey into his lap as she let out a small yawn.

"Did you sleep okay?" Cassian asked.

"Yes, thank you." But Jyn and Cassian knew that he didn't sleep a wink.

"Daddy, when can we go back home? I wanna see Chewie again. He promised he'd show me how to fly the Falcon."

Luke's face was pained as he buried his face in her hair. "N-Not today, baby girl."

The rest of breakfast was silent. Cassian helped Luke get Rey's things out of the ship. Rey sat on the floor with Jyn by her side, sculpting a hunk of mud from outside, saying that it was supposed to be her daddy.

When noonday came, rain was already hitting the house with thunder rolling in the sky. Rey clung to Luke's leg, mumbling about her dislike of thunder.

Luke took a deep breath, scooped her up, and headed out the door.

Rain came down in sheets, but Luke didn't want to do this in front of the Andors.

They reached a small cliff nearby that overlooked the vast sea and he knelt down, tears in his eyes.

"Rey, my little sunshine, I-I need you to be brave for me. Daddy is doing this for your own protection. I'm-" he sobbed, still trying to meet the confused girl's eyes. "I'm so sorry, but I'll always love you."

"I love you too, daddy, but why are you sad?"

"Because I love you so much, baby girl." He placed his hand on her forehead and channeled all his power into the force erase.

"You will not remember who you once were. You are now Rey Erso Andor, adopted daughter of Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. They've had you since you were a baby. You've never used the Force and cannot use it." His grip tightened and her eyes rolled back into her head.

"You are a normal farm girl. You have no aunts, uncles or cousins. On your twentieth birthday, your powers and past will reveal themselves. Now, you will remember none of this." Rey passed out in his arms as he finished. Luke didn't hold back to the sob of pain that came from his throat.

He did a death march back to the house, and gave one last look at his daughter as Cassian and Jyn tucked her into bed.

"Please, take care of her," he said solemnly.

Cassian gripped his friend's arm. "We will Luke. We promise."

And just like that, he was gone.

Jyn's heart felt so heavy watching Luke leave. She and Cassian had inherited a daughter and their dear friend had just lost his. Jyn could only hope that it wouldn't be forever. Her thoughts went back to her own father and how he'd been taken from her when she was six years old. Rey was a few years younger than she'd been at the time.

Tears spilled down Jyn's cheeks and she leaned against Cassian for strength. In return, he put his arms around her, holding her close. This hit him very hard too, as he'd lost his own parents at a young age.

War with the Galactic Empire had taken so much from them both, but now they could have an extra bit of happiness together with Rey in their family. Maybe this could heal them further. Raising a child would take a lot of their time and energy, but Jyn and Cassian were sure that they wouldn't regret one bit of it.
