Leia's POV: I'm trying to learn how to help undo the damage that was done to Rey, all the abandonment issues and fear, she's so afraid of losing me.
I'm afraid of losing her too but I don't let it stop me from loving her, I just wish I knew how to help her more, she's so innocent despite all of this that was done to her.
I wish I could take it all away but I can't, the only thing I can do is try to make it up to her now, she deserves so much more than what happened to her.
The feeling of knowing she was right here in my arms brought me a sense of safety, she is safe with me, she's not dead and isn't missing anymore, she not in a horrible situation in that god awful place on Jakku.
"Mom, What were your parents like?" She asks me oh no I don't want to have this conversation
"My adopted parents ignored me for the most part, they didn't care much accept they liked I was heading the rebel alliance. I never knew my birth mom she died in child birth, My dad on the other hand had raped me the first time I met him, when he captured me and held me captive, it was his form of torture.
I had always wanted kids, I wanted a chance to love something unconditionally and give life to something that I could make have a better life than me. I am so maternal and kind because I know whats it like to be ignored and I know how much everyone needs kindness and love in there life" I say tears flowing
"I'm so sorry mom no one deserves that, I will always love you and your the most amazing mom, I will always want you in my life as my mom, you are so much more than I ever thought I'd have back on Jakku" She says softly holding me as close as she can, kissing my cheek.
"You are so precious my dear Rey" I say emotionally looking deep into her eyes, I kiss her forehead for a few seconds, stroking her face.
"I wouldn't trade having you in my life for anything" She says, it makes me feel wanted for once in my life
"I wouldn't trade you for anything either you are the best daughter, you are so sweet, kind and loving" I say returning the feeling.
"I think that might be the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me" She says tears welling in her eyes
"Get used to it, You'll get nothing but love and kindness from me" I say squeezing her
All of a sudden I get a very troubling vision, masked men in black kicking in the door "Where is she?" "I don't know what your talking about?" Luke said "Don't play dumb we tried hiding her but now she has been found, she has to die so does her mother they are too dangerous, untrained and susceptible Jedi's!" One of them Yelled.
Rey gave me the same terrified look as we heard the door kick in
"Under the bed" we whispered at the same time
We both got up and climbed under it, meeting each other in the middle wrapping our arms tight around each other, I cradled her head against my chest trying to shield my baby girl.
"It's all going to be okay, I love you" I whisper kissing the top of her head
"I love you too" She whispered clinging to me
"Check the rooms!" I heard someone yell
I pulled Rey closer resting my head against hers trying to comfort her.
What happens if they find us? they're going to kill us, this is really happening! I try to calm down we are hidden under the bed deep in the middle they won't find us, at least I hope not
I hear footsteps enter the room walking around "No one in the bedroom!" Thank god I let out a deep breath.
I hear more footsteps, whats going on?! I pull Rey closer my heart racing again, oh my baby girl, I would of rather they just be after me than her too.
"Put your hands up in the air now!, now or I shoot!(Oh no whats happening?!) Your all under arrest for the kidnapping of Rey Solo and the attempted murder of Rey solo and Leia Organa"
I felt a surge of relief as I looked deep into my daughters, we both got up from under the bed.
I hugged her so tightly "O-oh" I moaned loving the feeling of holding my daughter, all the years of hugs and motherly kisses I missed
She kissed my cheek, I kissed her forehead "They can't take you ever again, they won't get out of jail" I say relieved.
"But what if there's more of them out there mom?" She says shakily
"No one is going to take you away from me, never ever again" I say looking deep into her eyes.
"Hey, They're gone now, sorry about that" Luke said entering the room, sharing a family hug with us
"I love both of you so much" She says softly
"Can we please start off the day fresh with some lunch or something? I'm starved!" She says her stomach letting out a growl
"Of course Rey, You can eat anytime you feel hungry I would never let you go hungry my dear" I say softly
She was truly safe now, safe from the people that took her away from me and they were going to rot in jail for all the years she suffered and that I didn't know if she was alive or not.
May justice be served and may no one else ever harm my Rey again, my sweet baby girl
