Ezra awoke to the beeping of some machinery in the med bay of the Ghost. True to the way she had said it would go, Daughter had sent them home the moment they were surrounded, though he never actually saw her again. Taking in the familiar ship he hadn't seen in literally years, he looked around the room before spying Kanan sleeping in a chair next to him. He let him sleep until an alarm went off. Kanan jerked awake at the sound, having set the alarm to go off every hour so he could check on Ezra. He wasn't expecting to see the familiar blue eyes to be staring at him. "Ezra!" he exclaimed.
"How long was I out?" Ezra asked, his voice cracking just a bit. Kanan smiled gently and said "A couple of hours kid. What happened to you anyways?" Ezra chuckled before softly saying "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Kanan gave him an odd look, but didn't press the point. Instead he went to wake the others to let them know that Ezra had finally awoke.

Luke looked around at the celebrating Rebels and Ewoks. He blinked his eyes a few times, finding he had been brought back just a few minutes since he vaguely remembered feeling dizzy. Because he had been leaning on a fence, he hadn't collapsed to the ground and everyone who had even noticed him standing in the same position just assumed that he was thinking or something. Leia slid up to him and asked "Are you alright?" "I will be. Have I got a story for you Leia." Leia listened patiently as Luke immediately started giving her a brief description of what had happened to him.

Rey awoke to an older Luke leaning over her, concern in his eyes. "Luke?" she asked. "Rey?" "Do you remember our time in the past?" They both asked, then chuckled and hugged each other like old friends. Luke helped her to her feet and started walking her towards where he lived, both filling the other in on what had happened to themselves since their time in the now far distant past, picking up their friendship right where it left off.

The Jedi were devastated at the loss of the three Jedi. They had only managed to recover the lightsabers of them and hadn't even been able to give them a proper burial or say a final farewell. Anakin took the loss of Luke hard, he had become like a brother to him. Months passed and those who were trying to get attachments allowed pushed even harder for it, wanting to do this in the memory of Ezra, Luke and Rey. Just a week before Padmé was to give birth, they were finally successful in their endeavor and the Council unanimously agreed to this. Obi-Wan immediately went to see Satine, who was helping rebuild the Republic from the inside out right there on Coruscant and the two were now already engaged, their suppressed feelings for each other finally being freed.
Anakin was thrilled for his friend, and was even more thrilled when his wife gave birth to two happy babies. "How does the name Leia sound to you for a girl?" Padmé asked him, "I mean she looks like a Leia to me." Anakin smiled and said "I think that's a beautiful name for a beautiful baby, who is just as gorgeous as her mother." Padmé laughed and then asked "What do you think we should name the boy?" Anakin softly said "I was thinking maybe we could call him Luke." Padmé smiled gently and said "I think that's a wonderful idea." Anakin smiled down at the face of his son, Luke, wishing that he would have the privilege to meet the one he was named after, the one who was like the brother he never had.
I had so much fun writing this story, I am sorry to see it come to a close. I don't have anymore planned Star Wars stories at the moment. I am planning on taking a short break from them to work on some other ideas for other things I like that have been floating around for a while. But who knows, I might find inspiration that I can't deny somewhere. Final word count for those interested (and this doesn't count Author's notes, lol) is 14,162.
