Hey guys! Sorry about that, I was supposed to update it yesterday but our wifi was out, so I have to wait for it to function again. Anyway! enjoy reading!
In front of the door where the room of her mother lives in, Breha paces back and forth while holding her stuff bunny 'Hoppie' in her hand swinging lazily and wearing her comfortable white long sleeve dress down to her lower knee with her white flat shoes, for what it seem to be like few minutes or more. She can hear her mother, on the other side of the door talking in French on the phone as she stopped her paces and slowly peaks on the door to see her still talking in the phone while on her bed. Breha just stood there for a moment until Leia leans into her ear and whispered to her.
"Just do it, sweet pea." Causing her to jolt a little and rolls her eyes as she felt her grandmother pushing her lower back to go approach her mother then leaves her granddaughter to do the right thing. Breha slowly walked a bit nervous as her mother puts her phone on the table and saw her daughter turn on the side of the bed.
"Darling, come in. I just have to finish this sketch and FedEx it off to Paris." She said while concentrating on her sketch on the drawing pad then looked at her smiling as Breha goes into the bed and moved beside her. "And how about you and I go out for lunch and spend the rest of the day getting lost in Harrod's, huh?" she wrapped her shoulder and kisses her head then proceeds on doing her work.
"I can't, mother." Breha looks at her with a full of guilt inside her heart, trying her best to be brave and nervously spoke. "Sorry. I-I have to go out of town today."
Rey left her eyes on her sketch then looks at her a bit confused and asked. "Oh, you have to go out of town?" she removes her glasses from her eyes then puts it above her head and smiled. "And where, may I ask, are you going?" Breha didn't say a word as she drowns herself under the comforter causing her mother to laughs and playfully picking on her.
"Padme. Padme!"
"That's where I have to go." Breha muffled under the comforter. "I have to go see Padme." Leia appears in front of them watching with a worried expression.
"I see. And where might Padme be?" Asked while still laughing.
"In Napa with her father, Ben Solo." she replied, causing Rey to widen her eyes in shock and gasp then looks at Leia who nodded with a gentle smile. She looks back down where Breha hides herself then removes the comforter from her face.
"You're not Padme?"
"That would correct." Her voice no longer in a British accent and went back to her old one with an innocent look on her face.
"You're Breha?" Rey's tears started to fill on her eyes but didn't fell then covers her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from crying as Breha sat up.
"I am." She deeply sighed then faces her with a slight of fear by telling the truth to her mother. "Padme and I met at the camp, and-and we decided to switch places." Her mother begins to lower hand and her one tear started to fell from her cheek as Breha apologize. "I'm sorry, but I've never seen you, and-and I dreamt of meeting you my whole life." She wholeheartedly expresses her feelings to show her mother that she really loves her. "And-and Padme felt the exact same way about Dad, so—so, we sorta just switched lives. I hope you're not mad, because I love you so much and I just hope you could love me as me and not as Padme." Rey tearfully sighed then embraces her daughter with her motherly affection towards her as Breha did in return.
"Oh darling. I've loved you your whole life." Putting her cheek on her daughter's raven hair and smiled lovingly as Breha kisses her arm then cuddle herself in her mother's arms and cried tearfully happy until they heard someone sobbing pretty hard. They looked at the person who cried, it was Poe. Who lifts his head from Leia's shoulder from his embrace and continues to cry while Finn, at first watched happily at the beautiful mother-daughter moment until his good friend butler companion ruins it as he scrunched his eyebrows at his friend's overreacting sob as Leia had the same look that Finn does.
"I've never been so happy in my entire life." Poe said while sobbing as Finn and Leia looked at each other and nodded for giving Rey and Breha a moment of their own as Leia closes the door leaving the mother and her daughter an amused expression. Breha let's go of her mother's embrace and faces her while Rey rubs her daughter's cheek to wipe her tears with both of her hands affectionately.
"So, I-I guess you have to switch us back now, huh?" Breha asked with a lone look on her face and sniffed while trying to prevent from crying.
"Well, technically, you belong to your dad and Padme belongs to me." Her mother replied with a sad smile as her daughter sighed deeply for she really hate being separated from her mother and twin sister.
"His-and-Hers kids. No offense, Mom, but this arrangement really sucks."
"I agree, it totally sucks." Shook her head and agrees her daughter's opinion on the whole family separation plan.
"Then I say we fly to Napa, see Padme and Dad. And work this whole thing out."
"And I say your right." She reaches her daughter's cheek and stroke it softly while Breha holds her mother's hand affectionately. "Not to worry, darling. I'll take care of everything. You're not to worry, okay?" Assuring to her that everything will be okay while playfully pocks her daughter's nose and embraces her as Breha hugs her in return.
'Everything will be all right. How bad could it be to see my ex-husband again?' Rey thought optimistically.
The next day at early morning…
The closet of the door was quickly opened by Rey who was in her overemotional state while wearing just her v-neckline mustard color ribbed knit skater dress with an olive buttoned cargo jacket and wears barefooted. Her brunette hair was wrapped with rollers all over head and has black sunglasses while holding an unburned cigarette in her hand as she slams both of her hands on the sides of the door wall.
"I'm sorry. I can't handle this." Admitting that she was really nervous on meeting her ex-husband. "I mean, I haven't seen or heard from Ben Solo in over 11 years," She took her two of her dresses from Poe and Finn who were both standing in silent while listening to Rey as she puts her dresses on the bed beside her suitcase, "and suddenly I'm flying halfway across the world to-".She inhales deeply erratically and her body starts to shake in a nervous state. "I'm not mature enough for this." She approaches her two butlers before taking her other clothes from them. "If a man didn't make me so nuts, I'd still be married to him." She quickly puts her clothes on the bed again then faces her butlers. "I mean, we came up with this arrangement so that we'd never have to see each other again." Rey puts her cigarette in her mouth while her hand is on her hip and waving her hand like an overdramatic lady. "I mean, look at me, Poe, Finn. Have you ever seen me like this?"
"We- I-" They both stuttered nervously but Rey cuts them off by waving her hand down.
"Don't answer that." She said in a demand tone before going inside the closet to find her clothes as Breha hears her mother's nagging words about her father from behind the wall while laughing at her mother's continuous one-sided argument to Poe and Finn.
"I mean, what if he doesn't recognize me? No don't answer that either." Rey walks out of the closet then looks at her butlers and asked. So, Breha said he was a—a hunk?" Poe and Finn were about to say a word but she cuts them off sentenced.
"He was kind of an arrogant man at first but when I get to know him that well, he was rather sweet and charming." She dreamily said while removing all of her hair rollers on her head. "He had a smile that made me go weak at the knees, if you can imagine that." She smiled and sighed deeply remembering her and Ben's date together when they were young while Poe and Finn both rolled their eyes in response but didn't get notice by her as Breha came inside of the room. She was wearing a cream knit skater skirt featuring a coral colored allover floral print with an elasticized waist and blue jean jacket with a high heel black sneakers as her hair was French braided on the right side of her shoulder and also wears a light pink backpack and carries a hand bag with the same color.
"Okay, I'm all set, Mom."
"Great, me too. Almost." She said while removing the last roller from her hair.
"Mom, your-your suitcase is like totally empty." Breha said with an amused scoff as she approaches her mother.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Rey replied nervously and asked her. "Um, did you speak to your father, dear?"
"Um, yeah. Yeah. I just hung up with him, actually. He said he's really anxious to see you." She replied with a raised eyebrow and mischievously smiled to her while Poe and Finn looked down on their feet feeling guilty about the plan Breha instructed as they kept themselves quiet.
"Anxious-nervous, like he's totally, completely dreading it? Or anxious-excited, like he's looking forward to it?" Rey asks her again, hoping that her ex-husband is either happy or nervous to see her at the same time.
Poe and Finn both bite their inner cheek then looked down at Breha, waiting for her response to her mother.
"Anxious-excited, definitely."
"Oh." She sighed in relief and smiled.
"He said he'll meet us later at noon. At the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Como, Italy."
Rey scoffed and smiled again. "My, my, my. That's incredibly soon. Isn't it? Well, um, why don't you go downstairs and—and gather up our tickets from your grandmother while I finish up here." She said before turns around to continue packing her clothes.
"Okay." Breha replied as she turns around to walk out of the room but heard a whisper behind her.
"Liar, liar. Pants on fire." Poe said while Finn nodded in agreement as Breha shushed them with a finger raised to her lips and made a hand sign of 'You tell her we're both dead' kind of thing then left.
"Um, Finn." She called as Finn turns around and approaches her.
"Yes, madam."
"Well, can I ask you a favor to look after Leia while I'm gone?"
"Of course…I would do anything for a good friend of mine." He smiled and slightly bowed to her then faces her.
"Oh thank you, Finn, I can count on you to be in charge of this household. I trust you both as a brother and friend." She smiled in return.
"Of course, Rey. So I will be heading out to assist Breha while you continue packing, all right?"
"All right." She nodded in response as Finn went out of the room to find Breha.
"Oh, Poe." She called him and approaches him as Poe stood tall and listens. "I have a really ridiculous somewhat childish request to make." She slowly paced back and forth in a nervous tone. "Poe, you know that you're more than a butler to me. You're more like a lovable brother who just happens to wait on us, and anyway, I was wondering if-" She was cut-off when Poe spoke.
"I would be accompany you on the trip?" Asked her correctly with a smile as Rey faced with a surprised look. "Make it a bit easier for you?"
"Would you, Poe? Thank you so much." She exclaimed and puts her hand on his shoulders then puts her head on his chest and faces him. "I'd be so grateful and you don't even have to come as our butler. Just a friend."
"Madam, I'd be honored." Poe bows slightly and faces her with a grin. "And may I say as a friend," He confidently moves backward to the closet, "if I was seeing my ex, after 11 years and I had your legs," he pointedly said as he went inside the closet for a second then brings an elegant black ribbed halter dress in front of his body. "I'd wear this little baby."
Rey looked up and down with her eyes widen as Poe confidently said with a smirk. "You're killing it."
After an hour of packing their clothes, they all went outside the house to bid each other goodbyes as Poe goes down the stairs first, wearing an all-black pebbled faux leather jacket and t-shirt with leather pants and shoes. He wears his dark sunglasses like a cool dude and walk towards the car.
Rey bids her mother-in-law a goodbye kiss in the cheek, wearing an all-white French coat and knit mini dress with open high heel shoes. Her hair was curled down to her lower chest and her make-up was natural that makes her more beautiful equally.
"Bye darling. Good luck on seeing my son, Rey. I know you two will do fine." Leia said with a motherly smile and hopeful expression then holds her hands tightly.
"Wish me luck." She replied nervously then lets go of her hands and turns around to go inside the car.
Breha approaches her grandmother and hugs her as she did in return and they let go of their embrace to face each other.
"Bye grandma."
"Bye, Brey." Leia wraps her arm around Breha and kisses her in the head.
"So you're coming to Napa for thanksgiving, right?" Breha asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, darling." She looked down at her granddaughter with an assuring smile as Breha inhaled then bid her.
"Bye." She smiled in return and ran towards the car but heard her grandmother called.
"Oh, and say hello to your father for me."
Breha turns around and grinned. "I will." Leia closes the gate and gives her a thumbs up while Finn stands beside her and waved a goodbye as she crosses her arms and fingers with a promise then went inside the car. She sighs deeply and thinks positive of the plan she and Padme formed as the car drove off.
At the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni where many of the tourists enjoyed their relaxation and touring themselves around the hotel while the employees carry and assists their customers' luggage and the hotel manager moves around to keep an eye on everything as Eleanor in her black tight shadow stripe sheath pencil dress with her blonde hair curled down to her waist and wears an alluring seductive make-up on her face that made her look like a dangerous siren. She and her parents waited at the main entrance inside of the hotel as Eleanor checks out to see on the glass door if her fiancé has arrived then goes back to face her parents. Her blonde haired mother, wears her pink long sleeve blouse with a pearl round necklace and golden earrings and white pants while her grey haired father was in his buttoned dark grey shirt and all-black sport coat with dark pants.
"Okay. They'll be here any minute." She moves to her father's side and smiled mischievously. "Now be nice, Daddy. He's everything you ever wanted for your little girl, plus millions more." Referring to Ben's fortune.
"Then you know I'll be nice." Her father smirked as they all laughed haughtily until Eleanor sees Ben arriving at the entrance.
"Oh! Okay. There he is…" She grinned at seeing him but slowly turn into a disgust when she heard a bark of a dog then saw Padme, Gwen and Beebee-Ate tag-along with him, "with the whole motley crew." She tries to make a fake smile and waves at Ben as she walked towards him.
"Hi, darling." She kisses him as he did in return.
"Hi." He replied back as Eleanor faces them.
"Breha, Gwen and Beebee-Ate!" She looks down at the Akita dog with disgust in her eyes but keeps her fake smile. "What in the world are you doing here?" She faces Ben and asks. "Honey, a dog at the Serbelloni?"
Ben looks down at her with a raised eyebrow and grinned. "Brey begged me to bring him."
"Oh, you're such a softy." She seductively smiles at him then looks at Beebee-Ate and tries to touch his head but the dog made a growl and almost bite her causing Eleanor to jolt back while Ben frowns at Beebee-Ate's rage towards his fiancé.
"Good doggy." Gwen said with mischievous grin who wears a rust pink woven top covered in a geo tribal print with elbow-length dolman sleeves and a V-neckline and blue jean pants with her beige shoulder bag. 'Ha! Serves you right, Blondie.' She thought then faces Eleanor and her parents who are now approaching towards their daughter and smiles at them trying to be nice. "So, Eleanor. These the folks?"
"Yes." Eleanor exclaimed and wraps her arms around Ben's then faces her parents. "Mom, Dad. You finally meet." She looks at him with her daring eyes. "This is my fiancé and the love of my life, Ben Organa Solo." He smiles and reaches his hand to them for a handshake as her parents did in return.
"Hello, Ben. I'm so pleased to meet you." Her mother was the first to greet. "I'm Quinn."
"Hi." Ben greeted her back.
"And this is Ben's adorable daughter, Breha." Eleanor introduces her to her parents while Ben wraps his arm around his daughter's shoulder who just mildly smiled to them. She wears a pink floral crochet top and jeans shorts with a brown knee boots and her raven hair was loose wavy curls down to her chest. "This entire prenuptial get together was her idea, I'll have you know."
Eleanor's father looks down at Breha and greets her. "How are you, young lady? We've heard nothing but wonderful things about you." He smiled as Eleanor's mother grinned towards her.
"Hello, pet. You may call me Aunt Quinnie."
'Huh?' Padme raised her eyebrow. 'Why would I call her 'Aunt Quinnie'? Since she is going to my dreadful grandmother…or not. ' She thought annoyingly.
Meanwhile at the grand entrance of the Villa Serbelloni where a limo has arrived in front as Poe went out of the front seat car and opens the other door and gives Rey a hand but was greeted with a slender leg on his hands causing him to raise his eyebrow in confusion yet smiles at her.
"Other end, madam."
"Oops!" She says in a drunk tone.
Rey reaches her hand to his and was pulled by him while wobbly walks then stands barefooted with her high heel shoes on her other hand and was holding a small bottle for what it seems to be an vodka then drinks it all in one wide open gulp then throws the bottle up high causing Poe to catch it completely as Breha went out of Limo and watches her mother from behind to see her drunk at this noon.
"That was great flight. Wasn't it?" She said with a grin in her drunk state. "I mean, it was so quick."
I've never seen you quite thirsty before, madam." Poe replied with a slight concern.
Well, would you believe, Poe darling," Rey puts on her high heel shoes clumsily but manages it to put it on while Breha helps her to stand propeely. "I've never tasted vodka before this trip."
"You could have fooled me, ma'am."
"Come on, let's rock and roll."
Rey and Poe walked towards the entrance leaving Breha with a groan of guilt and begins to feel troubled. "I am in such major trouble here."
On the other side, where Eleanor tours around the hotel with her parents to show the venue for her upcoming wedding while Ben was beside her listening to her plans and Padme tries to hold the leash that Beebee-Ate was held along with Gwen trying to assist her.
"If the hotel can do it, I think that room is perfect for the wedding. Not too big. Not too cramped. And not that I don't like the idea of having the wedding at the house." Eleanor told her parents with excitement while Beebee-Ate sniffs a scent of something he knew as he begins to fasten his pace causing Padme to be pulled clumsily along with Gwen trying to help her.
"Beebee-Ate!" Padme whispers in a harsh tone.
"It's just that this could be amazing." Eleanor turns to face Ben and wraps her arms around his waist, smiling seductively at him then continues to walk along with Ben and her parents. "So I've checked us in. why don't we go upstairs, freshen up and then rendezvous for lunch?" She asked her parents as they both nodded.
"Great!" Her mother replied.
"Meet you in the bar at ten. Okay?" Her father said as he kissed his daughter in the cheek.
"Oh! Perf." Eleanor replied with a grin like an excited teenager then faces Ben and wraps her arm around his as she begins to flirt with him. "Sweetheart, now that we're here, why don't we go check out the honeymoon suite?" She asks him then puts her hands on his neck stroking it. "I bet it is to die for." She wraps her arms around his waist and starts to closely kiss him.
While the two couple were having an intimate moment, Breha along with her drunken mother and Poe walked towards the elevator as Poe starts to press the button close but Rey suddenly stop the elevator door being closed.
"Ooh. Oops! I forgot my bag!" She grinned like an idiot then walks clumsily to the hotel manager. Unnoticed, Gwen and Padme tries to slow down Beebee-Ate but still keeps on pushing on. "Hey, hang on." Gwen assures her then tells Beebee-Ate to behave. "Beebee-Ate!" The dog stops his track then looks up and whimpered with joy as he saw Breha in front of him and barked.
"Beebee-Ate!" Breha exclaimed happily as the dog rushes to her causing Padme and Gwen including Poe to gasp in surprise. She embraces her Akita dog with affection. "Beebee-Ate." She smiled like a little girl hugging her stuff toy as the elevator started to close unknowingly while Rey asks the hotel manager of finding her bag.
"Excuse me. Did you find the white-"The hotel manager puts out the purse of his table as she smiled in relief. "Thank you." After that, she walked towards Padme who spun around in shock while Gwen turns around to not let Rey notice her.
"Mom!" Padme exclaimed as her mother smiles like a drunken idiot and looks down at her.
"Darling, you didn't have to wait for me. I could have found the room by myself." Padme starts to smell some alcohol from her mother's breathe by waving her hand in front of her mouth to prevent from smelling including Gwen, who can smell Rey's alcoholic breathe from behind. "Besides, I need to get a little fresh air. Go on, sweetie. I'll meet you up 'thairs'." She patted her daughter's arm a bit hard then walks away from her as Padme furrows her eyebrows in confusion until her mother turns around still walking clumsily and pointed to her daughter's outfit. "I like that jacket, by the way. Were you wearing that the whole time, we were on the plane?" suddenly she was almost hit by the employee holding a vase full of flowers as Padme warns her quickly.
"Mom, watch out!" She puts her hand to her forehead in surprise and closes her eyes for a second then opens her eyes to see her mother not get hit by the employee as Gwen watches Rey wobbly walking in shock when Padme faces her in an unpleasant mode.
"She's drunk. She's never had more than one glass of wine in her entire life, and she chooses today to show up totally zonked."
"Yeah, well, just do what the woman says and meet her up 'thairs'." She said, mimicking Rey's word causing Padme to giggle while putting her hand on the little girl's shoulder and still looking in shock at where Rey walks out then went towards the other elevator.
Eleanor and Ben walked slowly while she still wraps her arm around his and looks at him. "Maybe that's why they make 'do not disturb' signs." Her lips closes to his ear seductively causing him to grin in return as the elevator beside them starts to open. They both entered the elevator when Ben pushes the button to close the elevator while Eleanor giggles in front of him. "Alone at last." she whispered to his ear then wraps her arms around his waist and starts to kiss his neck as he did the same by putting his hands on her back waist until suddenly he saw someone he hasn't seen for 11 years. It was Rey who walks beside the elevator in front of him then she saw her ex-husband cuddling with a young blonde woman from behind. Ben's eyes widen without blinking as he continuous to stare at her by slowly leaning on the side of the elevator wall against his hand before at the same time, the door closes along with him while Rey waves at him with an idiotic smile as the elevator door closes completely.
Oh boy, Breha and Padme are going to be so busted when their mother finds out that their father sees her unexpectedly. And also...This is it, Reylo shippers! that Ben and Rey are going to see each other face to face!i I will be updating it next week! So see ya guys! ;)
