A/N: Hi everyone! I'm back!

Sorry this update took a few days. School has been driving me crazy and I didn't have time this weekend. But I'm here now!

I saw the Golden Globes yesterday, still upset that Stranger Things didn't win! But I saw an emotional tribute to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. I'm still shaken up by it! It was sad and emotional! If any of you didn't see it, you should. But I did lighten up with Steve Carrell's cartoon stories!

But yeah.

So, let's get on with it!

Chapter 7

Birthday Celebration

A year has passed since the Erso's escape from Coruscant. Krennic was still after them, but the family had many backup plans. They were even in contact with Saw Gerrera, and old friend of Galen's, just in case.

Life on the farm was very peaceful. The family didn't have to worry about the war or the Death Star. The Empire couldn't complete the weapon without Galen being there. The galaxy was safe for now.

Jyn and Jenny were growing suspicious about their mother. Lyra was always wearing her beige robes and a brown cloak instead of a shirt and pants. They were even suspicious about the cylinder.

But Lyra wasn't ready to tell Jyn and Jenny about her. She still didn't think that they were ready to know. But she would tell them, just not now.

Today was a special day though.

Jyn snuck into Jenny's room. She crept up to where her sister was sleeping soundly. Then, she went up to Jenny's ear and whispered in it.

"Happy Birthday!" She whispered.

Jenny woke up slowly and sat up. She saw her sister smiling at her for some reason. Then she remembered what day it was and what her sister whispered to her. Then she smiled back at Jyn.

"Thanks, sis! I'm four years old now!" She exclaimed.

"And you're almost halfway to double digits!" Jyn said.

"Yay!" Jenny cheered.

She leaped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. She saw her mother baking pancakes and her father drinking blue milk. Once they saw Jenny, they smiled at her.

"Happy Birthday, my little Princess!" Galen said, giving his youngest a hug.

"Thanks Papa!" Jenny replied.

"We made you some fresh pancakes for breakfast, sweetheart," Lyra said.

"Yay!" Jenny cheered.

She took a seat next to Jyn and waited patiently for her pancakes. Once they were served, Jenny started devouring her pancakes and blue milk.

"Can I open my presents now?" She asked.

Jyn grinned. "Of course! Open mine first!" She said, handing over her gift.

Jenny grabbed the gift and started to tear off the wrapping paper. Inside was a little box. When Jenny opened the box, there was a heart shaped necklace inside it.

"Ooh! Pretty!" She exclaimed.

"It's a locket. It resembles our sisterhood. Open the heart!" Jyn explained.

Jenny opened the heart very carefully. Inside it was a holo of her and Jyn together. It was of Jyn holding a baby Jenny.

Jenny smiled at the picture. From this point on, she will always wear it, even when she's a grown adult. It will always be a treasured keepsake to remember her beloved sister.

She looked up at Jyn and hugged her tightly. "Thank you sis!" She said.

Jyn hugged her sister back. "Anytime, Jen."

For the rest of the morning, Jenny unwrapped many presents from her parents. They were all great stuff, like new honemade dolls and nice clothes.

But her favorite will always be the locket.

...

Later that day, Jyn and Jenny were watching holoshows. Jenny wasn't paying much attention since she was playing with her locket. She really loved it and was glad she got it.

Jyn noticed this and smiled. She was happy that Jenny liked her present. It took her a while to find the holo in the wallet. It was taken after she had accepted Jenny as her younger sister.

"You really do like that locket, don't you?" She said.

"I do! It's the best gift I've ever gotten!" Jenny exclaimed. Jyn smiled at her little sister.

"I'm glad you do. I wasn't so sure you'd like it as much as you do now," she said.

Jenny shrugged. "Why wouldn't I like it? It's a gift from my sister who I love!" She said.

Jyn suddenly had a guilty look on her face. Seeing that holo always reminded her of what happened when she tried to get rid of her sister. Why would she do that? At the beginning, she didn't like her younger sister at all. Now she loved her and her sister loved her back. Jenny never knew of that incident and Jyn hoped she never would know.

Jyn's thoughts were interrupted when Lyra came into the room. "Girls! Time for cake!" She said.

The sisters got up and went into the kitchen. On the counter, there was a small cake with some candles on it. Jenny thought it looked very pretty.

Everyone gathered around the cake. They sang "happy birthday" to Jenny. Jenny enjoyed the song a lot.

Then Jenny blew out th candles after making a wish. Everyone cheered and took a slice of cake.

Jenny loved birthdays a lot.

A/N: Voila!

I know this isn't relevant to the main storyline. But I wanted to do it. But the locket can be a main thing. Or not. Who knows?

I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
