Rey adjusted the blanket around her shoulders and pulled her knees to her chest, feeling the cool durasteel of the chair against the bottoms of her bare feet. The rising sun painted oranges and pinks across the lightening sky, casting light over the city and the green of hills beyond it. The buildings were smaller than those of Coruscant's Galactic City, and small pockets of vegetation rose among areas Rey assumed were housing districts.

She took a sip of chav and cupped the mug in her palms. A breeze ruffled her loose hair, and she looked back through the transparisteel of the wide doors. Kylo's long form lay sprawled under the white bed covers, his dark hair poking out against the pillows. A smile tugged at her lips, and she took another long drink.

She pulled the blanket tighter and let out a long breath. Despite the growing light of the sun, the air did not feel any warmer than when she had first come onto the balcony to eat breakfast. She moved to the door and lifted her hand. The tray carrying her mug and crumbs of a pastry followed her through the transparisteel door and dropped with a soft clink on a table.

Rey shut the door with a wave of her hand and curled into the rumpled covers of the bed, poking her cold feet near the furnace heat of her husband's body. Kylo stirred and opened one eye, keeping the other pressed against the pillow. "Morning."

Rey grinned and lay down to line her face up with her husband's. "You promised to show me things today."

Kylo's eye shut for a moment, and he gave a tired groan as he propped himself on his elbows to glance at the chronometer next to the bed. "I did, but it's barely past six." He wrapped his arms around the pillow and pressed his face against it. His words muffled as he grumbled, "Why're you up so early?"

"The sun's up, and everything's so green." Rey ignored the gushing tone her voice took. "Not bland sand or buildings all over the place. Green, Kylo."

Kylo let a soft groan. "Is it too late for me to use the 'my body got hijacked' excuse to sleep longer?"

Rey paused. His mental exhaustion had been evident over their bond, and he had slept frequently for the two days they had been at Poe's house. Kylo gave a soft smile and sat up, pulling Rey close to him. "It's okay. I'm fine." He rested his chin on top of Rey's head. "You've been avoiding that topic since we left the hospital."

"I don't really know what to say." Rey let out a slow sigh and felt Kylo's comfort through their bond. The fears blurted out of her mouth after days of keeping them inside to spare Kylo. "You… You weren't you. That look on your face, you next to Kilnetel, what Snoke said about your knowledge of killing with the Force. And I know that was all him," Rey interrupted the start of Kylo's protest, "but I thought I'd lost you. I nearly ran my lightsaber through you."

Kylo's arms tightened around her. "I'm glad you didn't."

Rey wrapped her hands around Kylo's forearm and rested her head on them. After a moment of comfortable silence, she whispered, "We reconnected through the Dark Side."

Kylo's free hand brushed against the bare skin of her arm, and he cleared his throat. "But can you feel it now?"

Rey concentrated on the bond that she had been afraid to fully focus on since Geonosis. She expected to feel the Dark pulse from Kylo and herself. Instead, she felt a strange, and yet familiar, balance. "We're… both in grey."

Rey felt her husband's smile before she saw it. "I didn't want to mention it until I was sure, especially because I haven't directly worked with the Padawans since everything happened." He paused for a moment as if searching for his next words. "I think our contact with their Light to fight Snoke brought us closer to the middle."

"Shouldn't we tell them that? They might be confused, especially if they've moved to the grey, too."

Kylo gave a soft laugh and pressed a light kiss to Rey's lips. "I'm sure Jessika's already figured it out." He untangled himself from the covers and stood with a stretch. "Now, I do believe I promised to show you Naboo today."

"Aren't we going to see the sea?" Rey shouted over the air whipping past her ears and mouth. Loose strands of her hair flew into her eyes as the speeder darted through the traffic of Theed, the capital of Naboo.

Kylo's head turned to look at her for a moment before he swerved to avoid a large, four seat speeder carrying three exotically dressed women. "We're going to see somewhere better."

Rey nodded and squeezed her arms around Kylo's middle, blinking away wind-induced tears as she took in the city speeding past them. Buildings with rounded roofs characteristic of Theed became sparse, revealing more of the green flora and tall trees that she loved.

Kylo's muscles tensed under her hands, and she leaned with him as the small speeder turned sharply toward a thick set of trees. A tiny house with a bright blue door nestled against the first few trees, and a tall Gungan stood with his arm around a smiling human woman. Two younglings ran among some high flowers.

Rey twisted in her seat to watch them until the trees obscured the house. She rested her head on Kylo's back, feeling an absurd grin spread across her face. Kylo's sides shook lightly with a laugh, and she felt his rare joy across the bond. She held onto her husband tighter, savoring the moment between them.

Kylo soon brought the speeder to a halt and wrapped one of his hands around Rey's. She felt the warm metal of his wedding ring against her skin. "It'll probably be awkward to get off with you clutching my waist."

Rey lifted her head, and her grip immediately slackened as she took in their surroundings. A wide expanse of deep green grass gave way to a wide lake. Roaring waterfalls fed the body of water from a plateau that spanned most of the visible horizon. Green plants climbed up the sides of the plateau. Rey stood from the speeder and took a step toward the lake. "Oh, Kylo."

The corners of Kylo's eyes wrinkled from a wide smile. "Go on."

Rey slipped off her soft boots and tossed them haphazardly near the speeder before she took off through the grass. The blades tickled the underside of her feet, and she stopped by the edge of the lake to determine how deep the lake was. Seeing the floor fairly close, she splashed into the water, washing off the dirt her feet had collected. She kicked at the water as it lapped at her thighs and looked back to watch Kylo make his way through the grass with a bag in his hand. His lightsaber glinted at his side in the bright sunlight.

"Come in!"

Kylo set the bag on the ground and crossed his arms over his chest, watching Rey with a grin. "The last time we were by a lake, I used the Force to not go in. I'm fine out here."

Rey knew from the immediate change in Kylo's expression that he sensed her mischievous thought. Before he had a chance to stop her, she yanked him into the water with the Force. He plunged into the lake, and Rey laughed as the resulting splash hit her face.

Kylo emerged from the water and pushed back the dark hair sticking to his face. He unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and tossed it next to the bag he had left on the ground. He then turned back to Rey, a grin calmly tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You'll regret that."

Rey let out a shriek as the water around him rose with a flick of his hand knocked her into the water. She grabbed his knee from below the surface and dragged him down before she gasped for air and grabbed the grassy edge. She watched Kylo's head come back up and splashed him again. "You know I can't swim!"

Kylo barked out a laugh and waded over to her, wiping water from his eyes. "You did pull me in." He pulled himself out of the water and looked down at the soaked clothes clinging to his body. "I think I might have to have a training session with the Padawans in water."

Rey smiled and flopped onto the ground, her feet skimming the water as she watched Kylo. "It's only been a day without them, and you're already thinking about their training again?"

Kylo pulled off his shirt and wrung it out over the water. "Didn't you say they're part of my family?"

Rey propped herself up on her elbows. "I'm just happy for you. After Leia passed, you would hardly speak to anyone." Kylo spread his damp shirt across the grass, pointedly not looking at Rey. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressing a kiss to his neck. "I think she would be happy, too, that you've got so many people who love you enough to take on Snoke to get you back."

Kylo turned to her with an unreadable expression and a jumble of emotions through their bond. For a moment, Rey thought he was angry for bringing up the subject of his mother, but his mouth covered hers in a kiss that sent a current through her body. His hand moved to cup her cheek, and he pulled her closer with his other hand. Rey opened her mouth with a soft groan but pulled away as she heard the chirp of a communicator.

Kylo let out a long sigh and rested his forehead against Rey's. He kissed her briefly, and the communicator chirped again. He reached for the bag and pulled out a round holocomm. "Sorry. I asked Poe to call if there was any change in Eeth."

Rey pressed her lips against the scar running across Kylo's nose. "It's fine."

Kylo pressed the communicator, and Poe's grinning face projected in flickering blue. "Hey, lovebirds. How's the honeymoon?"

"Would be better if you didn't kill mood," Rey said dryly as she wrapped her hand around Kylo's free one.

"Ah, my timing is wonderful, then." Poe flashed a characteristic smirk. "Sorry for the interruption of your… swim? You look wet. But Eeth woke up a few hours ago. The med droids say he's physically fine, but I'll pass this to Jess for the mystical mojo stuff."

The holo image shook and briefly showed the sink of Poe's kitchen before Jessika smiled sheepishly at them. "Hi, Masters." The muffled sound of what sounded like Sonzy's voice filtered through the comm. "No, they're on vacation. We're already bothering them." Jessika cleared her throat and turned her attention back to the comm. "Sorry. We didn't want to bother you at all, but Master Skywalker knew you were worried. The Force in Eeth is… gone. It's like his powers have been completely suppressed."

Kylo's hand tightened around Rey's. "Can you sense him at all?"

Jessika paused to glance at what Rey presumed was the other Padawans. "You said once that everyone has varying levels of signatures in the Force? It's just like he's a normal person with a really weak signature."

Rey exchanged a look with Kylo. "What did Master Skywalker say?"

"He thinks that Snoke basically took it, but since he wasn't there, he's going to trust your opinion when you get back."

Kylo nodded slowly and ran his hand through his wet hair. "Has Eeth said anything?"

Jessika's blue image flickered, and her expression turned grim. Rey wished she was in the same room as the Padawan to sense her emotions. "Not much. One of the hospital staff said he asked about his family."

Rey stopped to think about the families of the Padawans. Obviously, Jessika had Finn and Poe. She thought that Sonzy had mentioned a sister, but she had not worked with Eeth or Teela long enough to remember their families. Kylo seemed to sense her confusion and murmured, "He left his mother and two brothers on Iridonia."

The holo image jumbled again, and Poe's face reappeared. "I was going to wait with this news after you got back, but someone," he looked pointedly to his right where Rey assumed Jessika was, "already started letting the bolts out of the bag." Poe sighed and chewed his lower lip. "We swept the entire First Order complex. Eeth's family were being held there."

Rey did not need the Force to understand something about the finding had made the pilot uncomfortable. Poe pinched the bridge of his nose. "His brothers were both pretty emaciated, but his mother…"

"Dead," Kylo finished softly. Rey felt her husband's anger and sorrow, and she squeezed his hand. "I'm guessing they were held to force Eeth into helping them?"

Poe gave a brief nod. "Yeah. The boys will be fine with a careful diet. Look, I'm sorry to unload all that on your honeymoon. We'll keep you updated if you want, but you two need this break after all this. We've got everything handled. Go back and be in love, all right?"

Rey gave Poe a smile. "We know you do. We'll see you next week. Thanks, Poe." The holo image flicked and bleeped as it shut off. She took the comm from Kylo's hand and tossed it into the bag. "Don't even think about it."

Kylo's eyebrows pulled together. "What?"

Rey crossed her arms over her chest. "If you even think about going back today, I will push you in the lake again."

"I should be there for – "

"No." Rey raised her hand to cut Kylo off. "We've waited months for this trip, and you're not calling it off after only a day." She lowered her hand to take Kylo's, brushing her thumb over the silver band around his ring finger. "Besides, you've trained the Padawans well. They'll be fine for a few more days."

Kylo gave half smile and squeezed her hand, and Rey felt some fondness through the bond replace his worry. "They're still young, but I think they're ready for the rank of Knight."

Rey expected to feel surprised, but she found a grin spreading across her face. "They did go through a lot. They don't need any trials to prove themselves."

"They'll still have some studies, and they wouldn't take missions alone right away, but they've improved immensely." Kylo wrapped his free arm around Rey as she shivered in a breeze. "And Luke is moving the younglings back into the school. There's enough room for all of us, including four new Jedi Knights."

Rey let out a laugh and pulled the bag into her hand with the Force. "You don't need to convince me. I'm sure Luke would be on board, and it'd be nice to get back to working with younglings. Our new Knights could help, too."

She rummaged through the bag and found Kylo had only packed desserts. She picked the one that looked the sweetest and opened the packaging, dipping her finger into it and licking off a chocolate substance. She felt Kylo's laugh vibrate in his chest, and he did the same.

"The Jedi Order wouldn't be spread so thin." He paused for a moment and rested his head against Rey's shoulder. His next words came quieter, and she felt his uncertainty. "We would be able to start a family."

Rey's heart leapt in her chest. She moved to look at Kylo in shock, even though his sincerity came across their bond. "Are you sure?"

Kylo pressed a kiss to Rey's jawline. "I, ah, spent some time with Arian when you were playing sabacc with Finn the other night."

Rey felt her hopes rising, and she raised a hand to run it through her husband's damp hair. "What about the Senate? How others would treat our child?"

Kylo gave a short laugh and shrugged, a genuine smile lighting up his face. "Kriff the Senate."

Rey tried kissing Kylo but could not stop grinning. "Dear stars, I love you."
