Disclaimer Yeahhhh nope still don't own Star Wars even if I saw TLJ which I did and I'll leave my thoughts (spoiler-free) below. I do own Aviana and Kelsey.

Chapter 17

Aviana

The ride back home was quiet. I managed to tape up Finn's wounds the best I could until we get back. Rey put us in hyperspace as I sat in the main hold alone in my thoughts.

While I was beyond grateful to head home, I couldn't help but feel a ping of sadness for the loss of Uncle Han.

How can it be that we just reunited one minute and the next he's gone?

If only I didn't go out to find Poe, Uncle Han would've been alive.

Oh kriff why did this have to happen?

I sat there wondering how my mother, aunt and everyone else would feel when we came back, especially Poe.

Poe.

I almost forgot about him. I know for a fact he's worried to death about me and what's been going on.

I hope he's okay.

I heard a couple of beeps that snapped me out of my thoughts as I ran into the cockpit where Rey and Chewie were handling the controls. I saw the familiar planet in front of us as we got out of light speed.

"I don't know how I'm going to face them," I said sadly.

Chewie gave a few growls as I gave him a sad smile. Rey looked up and gave my hand a light squeeze before they went back into manning the Falcon.

"What do you think will happen to Finn?" Rey asked me. "Will he make it?"

"He's going to be in the best hands," I assured her, silently praying myself that Finn will be okay.

I hope.

-LINE BREAK-

The Falcon landed safely outside the base a moment later. Chewie went to grab Finn in his arms carefully as Rey went to follow them. She looked over at me but I gave her a nod to go ahead.

Taking a moment to myself, I walked around the Falcon as I took a glance in the rooms and all of the different stuff in the Falcon. All of the memories came back from playing in the Falcon as a child with Ben before everything went to hell. It was going to be hard to see this ship without my uncle. But I know that Chewie will take care of it.

Maybe someday I'll take flight of the ship who knows. But not right now.

Letting out a sigh, I headed out of the Falcon. The first person I saw was my Aunt Leia. I knew that she felt the passing of Uncle Han. With tears in my eyes, I walked towards her and right away she pulled me into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as I felt a few tears fall.

"Don't be. You're safe now and I know Han did what he could," she said softly. "Don't blame yourself for his sacrifice."

"Aviana?"

We pulled away and I looked over to see my mother standing behind us. She let out a soft cry as I ran towards my mother. She engulfed me into a tight hug as we both cried into each other's arms. I also realized that not only my aunt lost her husband and I lost my uncle but my mother lost her brother and best friend since growing up.

She had told me her past when I got older and that she always old me no matter who her real parents were that she would always consider Uncle Han her brother. Even if they had their fights and when he disappeared.

"Mom I'm sorry," I said. "And Uncle Han..."

"I know, I know sweetie. We may need to talk about a lot but you're safe now," she whispered as we still held on to each other.

"Kylo...did he..."

"No. He didn't hurt me physically," I told her. "But I'll explain everything later I promise."

I heard her sigh a little as we pulled away. I studied my mother carefully and I can tell her worrying about me and what's been going on has taken a toll on her a bit. I couldn't help but wonder if we did track my father would she go find him and bring him home.

As much as I wanted to ask her, I was afraid of what her answer will be.

"Mom you don't suppose if I can go and..."

"I have a feeling that you want to see Poe," Mom said in a knowing tone. "Go on. I'll meet you inside."

With a grin and another hug, I left my mother and Aunt Leia in order to find my boyfriend. It didn't take me too long to find him as I recongized the dark hair from anywhere. I saw him look in my direction and then the second time as we stared at each other.

Poe ran towards me and I did the same. We only met halfway when Poe scooped me up in his arms and I buried my face into the crook of his neck as I wrapped my legs around him.

"Thank kriff. You're alive Ava," he said as he kissed me passionately.

"I thought you were gone. That's why I had to go look for you," I said.

"My crazy, stupid girl," he breathed out as he pulled me in for another kiss. We only kissed for a minute before we pulled away from each other. "I'm never letting you go."

"You couldn't get rid of me if you tried," I said as we still held each other.

"We need to get you check out also. They brought Finn in awhile ago..." Poe said.

"I'm fine really," I said as he put me on the ground.

"Not a chance Ava. Just for my sanity please," he said as he kissed me again.

Without another protest, I let him take me to the medical ward to get checked over. I do hope that Finn will make it.

-LINE BREAK-

"Still nothing from him?" I asked my mother as she stood in front of Artoo in the command center after Poe and I got back from the medical ward.

"Nope," she replied sadly.

"It's hopeless then," I said.

"Oh sweetie..."

I walked away from Artoo and my mother before she said more. I sat down in a corner not too far away and pulled my knees to my chest. I heard someone sit next to me and then I felt a strong arm wrap around me as I turned to see it was Poe. He kissed the side of my head as he held me tight. We didn't say anything to each other I mean; what can we say?

At the moment though, I was perfectly fine with the quietness between us.

Well. Almost.

Bee-Bee whirled towards us quickly and kept beeping like crazy.

"Whoa Bee slow down, what is it?" I asked, sitting up slightly.

Bee let out a few beeps and my eyes went wide.

"What is it?" Poe asked.

"Artoo...he woke up and has the last piece of the map," I replied as I got up from my spot and headed over towards where everyone else is. "What's going on?"

"Artoo it's okay really," Mom was telling him as he let out a long beep.

"It seems that Artoo had the other piece of the map of Master Luke's whereabouts," Threepio replied.

"Wait, what? Mom is that true?" I asked in shock as she nodded her head wordlessly.

Bee-Bee ran over to Poe and he gave a few beeps to him. "Alright buddy hold on," Poe said as he ran towards the computer and hit a few buttons before pulling out a small piece and inserted into Bee.

Bee then rolled across from where Artoo was standing and a piece of a hologram map came from Bee while a huge hologram came from Artoo and when the two pieces came togther, everyone gasped in awe.

"Oh my kriff..."

"Oh my the map is complete!" Threepio said excitedly.

"Luke..." Aunt Leia breathed out as my mother stood in shock.

"Dad," I said softly as Poe took a hold of my hand.

"Oh how I missed you old friend," Threepio said, placing his hand on Artoo.

As everyone around us celebrated another victory, I was amazed and shocked that we actually found my father. I didn't think I would see the day that it would happen. I took a glance over at my mother and I can see that she has so much emotion on her face. I know that they loved each other and even after what happened, I had a hunch that no matter what happened, she still loved him.

Now the question is what's next?

A/n Soooo I saw TLJ and Oh. My. God. I loved it! Of course I had a few things that I was like wtf but still! Now our main thing is how the heck are they going to do episode 9?!

Anyways, had to let that out of my system now to story business. I got asked how the reunion with Luke will play out and here's a few answers here

Yes Rey and Luke will meet. That's still going to happen maybe at the end of the next chapter or near the end still have to figure it out.

Also will Aviana and Luke reunite as well...that is still up in the air as originally I have a plan and I do hope to still go with that plan despite seeing TLJ and how that went. Also I do have to factor in how Luke and Kelsey will see each other after how many years? XD

So we'll see how that goes. I hope that clear everything for now...

Okay so you know what to do! We got a few more chapters to cover and I hope to see you all soon!

Until next time,
Vicky
