Epilogue

The day was going strong, and the apartment was quiet, well for the most part. It was a simple day in the Organa Solo household. Adelyn was home from school and had been helping her father off and on. Leia was still at work, but she would be home before they knew it.

"Adelyn?!" Han called to his daughter. He waited for a moment, trying to hear her footsteps from his spot in the kitchen. He'd been working on a dinner for a few hours now, One of Leia's favorite meals. He hoped he could get it finished by the time she made it home. Han had talked to Leia a few hours ago and she had suggested she would be working a little later then normal. Most days he would remind her she worked too hard, but today he appreciated the extra time to finish dinner and make this night good for Leia. Han waited for a moment, still waiting for his daughter. Listening carefully Han could hear Adelyn's footsteps coming down the hallway.

"Yeah Dad?" She asked, turning the corner and staring up at him. Her head cocked to the side, waiting for her father to speak.

"Can you do me a favor?" He asked, as she nodded. "Can you put the plates out for dinner?"

"I can," She said with a quick shake of her head. Skipping over she quickly grabbed the settings and made her way to the dining room. Han couldn't help but smile at her. She looked more and more like Leia every day. Leia insisted she saw so much of him within their daughter's features, but all he saw was Leia. It was hard to believe she had just celebrated her seventh birthday. While her curls were still long around her face, some days she wore her hair so similar to Leia's, Han couldn't help but see their similarities. She was growing fast, and while Han wished she would stay young forever, he was equally happy to be around and there for each and every day. The good and the bad, Han would take it all. His family made him so happy and he couldn't wait for things to get better and better. Smiling to himself, Han moved to cut up some more vegetables.

"It's all set Dad," Adelyn said, walking back into the kitchen and leaning up against the counter. "Can I help?"

"Sure Princess…Stir this right here," Han said nodding to the stove. "It's hot, be careful," He warned, earning an eye roll for him daughter.

"I'll be fine." She said quickly. She was in such a hurry to grow up and be taken as a big kid. Han wasn't ready for that, but Leia assured him Adelyn was still his little girl.

"I'm sure you will." Han smirked.

"Will Mom like this?" She asked her father, looking up at him. Her big brown eyes staring at him.

"I sure hope so. It's her favorite."

"Good, I hope she likes it." Adelyn nodded. The young girl couldn't deny, she was excited and ready for tonight. She had been helping her father with so much of tonights dinner and plans. Han assured her she was a good helper and a great secret keeper.

"Thanks for helping." Han smiled down at her, offering her a small hug. Adelyn smiled back and hugged him tight.

"Good helper." She smirked, a very familiar Solo look. Both of their heads quickly looked up as they heard the front door slide open.

"Han?" Leia's voice flooded through the apartment.

"Mom's home!" Adelyn said her voice hushed.

"Go say hi to her," Han said pointing to the hallway. Adelyn nodded and quickly bolted out of the kitchen. Leia was putting down her things in the living room, when she saw her daughter running towards her. Leia smiled and opened her arms for a hug. Adelyn giggled, as Leia held her tight and kissed her forehead.

"Hi sweetie. How are you?" Leia asked her.

"I'm good, I had a good day Mom."

"I'm so glad." Leia smiled. "Where's Daddy?" Leia questioned, surprised Han hadn't greeted her yet. "Is he working?" Leia asked. Some days Leia would come home and find Han working in her home office, but she was happy to share. He had found something he liked doing that merged all of his skills together. Leia was grateful and happy to support Han in everything he did. Whether that was testing out ideas or starting his own trade company like he had been working on the last few months. Leia couldn't help but be proud of Han, his ability to bounce back into life had impressed her. To be honest their life had been going pretty fantastic lately.

"Dad is making dinner," Adelyn told her mother.

"Oh isn't that nice." Leia smiled, slipping her jacket off, right as Han turned the corner and walked towards her. Leia offered him a smile, as he moved closer. "Hi." Leia greeted him, moving into his embrace. Han smiled down at her, kissing her lips softly.

"Hey."

"Adelyn said you're cooking dinner?"

"I am…Your favorite." Han smirked.

"Spoiling me?" She questioned with another smile. Han loved when she smiled. He loved how beautiful she looked when her lips curved up, or how the mood changes when she did.

"You deserve to be spoiled sometimes," He told her.

"Good to know hot shot." Leia smirked, leaning up and kissing him again. Adelyn sighed beside them, mumbling something about how her parents were always kissing. They heard her small footsteps walk away and they both grinned. Han laughed against Leia's lips, still holding her tight. Adelyn made life interesting that was for sure, and while she loved that her parents were together, she didn't understand the need to kiss all the time.

"We kiss too much?" Han whispered to her.

"Hmm never," She whispered back, kissing him again and running her fingers through his hair.

"I gotta check on the food." He sighed.

"If you must." She smiled, letting him step back.

"How was your day?" Han asked as she followed him into the kitchen.

"It was good, very busy but nothing I can't handle."

"Sounds about right." Han smirked.

"This smells amazing."

"Come relax," Han suggested, as he took her hand and led her into the kitchen. Leia grinned at him, wondering where she would relax in the kitchen. Walking into the room, everything smelled even better. Her senses almost went into overdrive, and she was suddenly very hungry. Leia let out a sudden squeal and Han lifted her up and on to the counter. He smirked at her, leaning in and kissing her once more.

"Wine? Whiskey?" He questioned, against her lips.

"Either one," She whispered. Han nodded and let go of her for a brief moment, pouring her a glass of one of her favorite wines. Leia watched him move around the kitchen, a constant smile across her lips. She was so happy to come home to him every night. He made her so happy.

"Did you get any work done today?" Leia questioned as she sipped her wine.

"Ehh I had other things on my mind."

"Anything I can help with?"

"Nah…You just sit there and look pretty." Han smirked, winking at her. Leia smiled back, shaking her head at him, as she surveyed the kitchen. Gods everything truly smelled so good, and looked amazing too. Han spoiled her, he was so good to her. She couldn't help but feel her heart swell. No Prince would have ever done this for her.

"How was Adelyn?" Leia asked.

'She's been good, good day at school." Han nodded. "Been pretty helpful."

"Good. You gonna tell me what the occasion is?" Leia questioned.

"That would ruin the surprise sweetheart," Han said, once again stepping up to her spot on the counter. His hands ran up her thighs and rested on her hips. Leia smirked, loving that their height difference was gone when she sat like this. "You look nice."

"Do I?" She smiled, with an slight raise of her eyebrows. She'd been at work all day, she knew she didn't look as nice as she had this morning

"Always." He smirked. "Foods almost ready. Go sit in the dining room," Han said, as he lifted her up and off the counter. Holding her in his arms for a brief moment, before nodding to the other room. "Adelyn's waiting."

"Alright." Leia smiled, still not sure why they were having such a nice dinner tonight. Han watched as she left the room. He let a breath escape his chest. He hadn't realized he was holding it. Why was he nervous? Don't be nervous! His mind screamed at him. She'll say yes, Han thought as he touched the ring in his pocket.

Dinner had been fantastic and delicious. It was a simple evening in with her family, and Leia loved those nights. Looking around the table, Leia smiled as Han and Adelyn talked about a new part for the Falcon. So much Solo ran through that child, but she loved it. They both saw so much of each other in their daughter. It was a wonderful thought to think of what or who she would grow to be. Leia sipped her wine and noticed their conversation had slowed. Han nodded to Adelyn and Leia watched with curiosity at their exchange.

"Mom…" Adelyn started.

"What is it sweetie?" Leia asked her, setting her glass down and looking across the table to her daughter.

"Dad has a question for you."

"Alright?" Leia said looking over to where Han sat. He offered her a smirk as Adelyn continued.

"He said I could help. Because I'm a good secret keeper," Adelyn explained to her mother. Leia nodded and looked back and fourth between the two of them.

"Leia," Han whispered to her, moving his chair closer to hers. Leia nodded, still a bit confused as to what was happening. "I love you," He told her and she nodded again.

"I love you too Han,"

"Adelyn…" Han trailed off looking over to his daughter. Adelyn's bright smile lit the room and her body showed nothing but excitement. Leia offered her daughter a smile, happy to see her so thrilled about something. Leia's eyes once again darted between Han and Adelyn both.

"Mom, Dad wants to know if someday can be today?" Adelyn questioned and Leia immediately looked back to Han. She stared into his eyes, because she knew what that meant. They'd said it for so long now, and now their daughter had made it a reality. Looking down Leia finally noticed the ring in Han's hand. She felt an odd sound come from her throat but she wasn't sure if anyone else had heard it.

"Leia," Han started. "I love you so much, you and Adelyn. And I wondered if today we could start that someday we've been talking about?" He questioned, holding up the ring. Leia looked down at the beautiful design and gems that glittered in the light. Her heart was pounding so fast, she didn't know if she should speak, breath or pass out.

"Han…" She ended up whispering out.

"Leia."

"I thought we said we wouldn't do a big proposal?" She questioned with a laugh, because she really hadn't been expecting this. Everything had been so thought and planned, Leia always assumed one day they would get married and Han wouldn't have to go through the trouble of proposing, he already knew that answer.

"I wanted to surprise you." He smirked.

"You did." Leia nodded.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"So what do you say?" Han asked, reaching out for her hand and slowly starting to slip the ring on her finger. Leia smiled again, her head starting to nod faster and faster.

"Yes!"

"Yes," Han repeating, smiling brightly back at her.

"Of course yes!"

Throwing her arms around his neck, Leia pulled him closer to her. She rested her face in his neck and listened to the sound of his heartbeat. His arms wrapped around her, as he whispered over and over again how much he loved her in her ear. Somewhere in the distance they could hear Adelyn squealing and jumping for joy. Pulling back just a bit, Leia smiled at him, long enough before bringing their lips together. They both were lost in the kiss, too many feelings and emotions at once. This was long overdue and they both knew that. But they had both wanted this and hoped for this someday. Someday was today. It hadn't mattered how much time had passed, they had found their way back to each other and now they had the rest of their lives together.
