After a while, Caleb calmed down. Padme gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"It will be okay, little one," she promised him. He nodded, feeling better about what was to come.

"We should head back to the base," Ben said to them.

"What about the Finalizer? Are you going to keep it?"

"No. The Senate can have it, if they want it. Besides, we have both the Ghost and the Legacy. But first things first. I need to get out of this ridiculous outfit for the last time!"

Padme breathed a sigh of relief. She loved Ben, but she did not love his "Kylo Ren" uniform!

"The mask, too?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course," he said, with a grin on his face. "I will be right back. Can you and Caleb go outside and build a fire?"

"Sure! Come, Caleb."

Padme and Caleb gathered the wood they needed to build the fire. It was dark outside.

"Oh no!" Padme groaned. "We don't have matches!"

"We don't need a match," Caleb replied with a mischievous smile on his face. He extended his little hand towards the pile of wood. A huge fire appeared! He quickly moved his hand so that the fire would not spread.

"Sorry!" the boy sheepishly apologized.

"It's okay. You are still learning control," Padme told him.

Ben joined them, holding a box in his hands. He was relieved that his time as Kylo Ren was coming to an end.

"My outfit, including the mask, is in here," Ben told Padme. He gave her a wink and added, "Your outfit is in here, too."

Padme nodded in understanding. Ben had found the white negligee and panties Hux forced her to wear for her interrogation.

"But Ben," Caleb chimed in, as Ben was about to toss everything into the fire. "I thought you liked Padme in her outfit."

Thankfully Ben's back was facing Padme and Caleb. Otherwise, they would have seen his face turn redder than Vader's lightsaber!

"Caleb," Padme said to the boy. "Ben did like me in the outfit. But so did General Hux."

Without hesitation, Caleb scrunched his nose and told Ben,

"Burn it!" Ben, who was still embarrassed, threw everything into the fire. Padme couldn't help but chuckle, as they watched the fire consume the clothing and helmet.

After the fire was put out, they boarded the Finalizer and flew back to the base. Padme introduced Ben to the soldiers that had survived. A late dinner was served to them. Afterwards, they made their way to the morgue. Ben held Caleb outside, while Padme went in to identify the bodies of Ezra, Luke and Sabine.

"We don't have Luke Skywalker's body," the coroner told her. "The body is not here, and it is not upstairs in his room." She dashed out of the morgue.

"Padme, what's wrong?" Ben asked, as he ran after her, still holding Caleb.

They reached Luke's room. They stepped inside. As the coroner told Padme, Luke's body was not there. She walked over to the bed, and touched it, before crying.

"Don't cry," Caleb said, after Ben had let him down. He walked over to Padme and held her hand. "He is one with the Force. You will see him again." She turned and embraced the boy.

Caleb was afraid to fall asleep by himself, so Ben volunteered to stay with him. Telling Padme she was pregnant would have to wait one more day.

The next day, a public funeral was held for all those that were slain in battle. The private burials followed afterwards. Ezra and Sabine were laid to rest, together for the last time. Ben took a crying Caleb away, so it was Padme that watched the gravediggers bury her friends.

They met up with Poe and Finn, who had flown to Endor with Senator Angeles Dollslayer. They also spent some time with Angeles, who thanked them for their effort in defeating the First Order. Padme asked Poe if he wanted to be the new owner of the Ghost, which he graciously accepted.

It was time for Ben, Padme and Caleb to leave. Movers helped them pack the belongings of Ezra, Sabine and Luke. Ben had his clothing moved from the Finalizer, and Padme and Caleb's stuff was also boxed up.

"We need a place to live," Ben uttered, as they flew off of the planet.

"I agree," Padme replied. "Any suggestions?"

"How about Tatooine?" She smirked at him.

"We do need to stop there, to get my mother's house sold. But I do not want to live there. Too much sand!"

Ben laughed. Did she forget already, about where she wanted to go? Or was it the pregnancy that made her forget? He was going to tell Padme once Caleb fell asleep.

"Sweetheart, did you forget? You said you wanted to go to Naboo. I'm sure Angeles can help us find a home."

"Ben, are you serious?"

"Yes. Unless you want to go somewhere else."

"As I said to you before, I will go anywhere you want to go. But Naboo is special to me. Our meadow is there."

"Then we will live on Naboo," Ben promised, smiling at her. She smiled back. He hoped the smile would stay on her face once he told her she was expecting.

Later than night, Caleb was asleep. Padme was in her nightgown, and Ben wore pajama bottoms. He tapped the bed, indicating that he wanted her to sit next to him on the bed.

"I need to ask you a favor," Ben started, as he reached over to the nightstand. He grabbed his lighsaber and showed it to her. She had a confused look on her face.

"I need you to purify my lightsaber," Ben explained.

"I never did this before," Padme uttered nervously.

"Your gift is Force healing. It is easier to heal a lightsaber than a person."

Padme took the weapon from Ben, and turned it on. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Ben watched in amazement as the color of light changed from an unstable red to a stable white. She opened her eyes, and was pleased with the results. Padme turned off the weapon, and placed in on the nightstand closest to her.

"Please heal me," Ben pleased with her.

"It's not going to be pleasant," Padme warned him.

"I know. If there was another way, I would do it. But this needs to be done, if we are to move forward in our lives."

"We need to do this together." Padme slipped off part of her nightgown, so that part of her chest was exposed.

"You lay your hand on my chest, and I will lay my hand on yours," Padme said to Ben. Then the process began. It was not easy, since Padme felt Ben's pain due to their Force bond. It took a while, but Ben was finally healed of his past.

"Is it me or is it ridiculously hot in here?' Padme grumbled.

"I'm sweating!" Ben replied. He checked the thermostat, which was fine. Then he had an idea.

"Let's cool off in the shower," he suggested.

"I like how you think!"

They headed to the shower to cool off. The shower reminded them of their first time, and they decided to make love. Afterwards, Ben carried Padme back to bed. She began to give him passionate kisses.

"Wait!" Ben told her. He still had not told her about the baby.

"You didn't want to wait in the shower," Padme replied, as her fingers stroked the side of his face. He gently pulled her hand away.

"I need to tell you something that you may not believe," Ben began.

"What is it?" Padme wondered.

"Have you been feeling not yourself lately?"

"Well, I have felt tired a lot. I did throw up a few times. Why do you ask?"

"Padme.." Ben paused. He took her hands into his. Gazing into her blue eyes, he gathered the courage to tell her,

"You're pregnant!"
