A/N: Hi! I'm actually updating on a day that isn't Saturday. I'm going to change my schedule. I'll update on a day when I can go on the computer. Mostly the weekends though.
Now last time, Jyn and Luke get separated from each other. Jyn also got pregnant. This chapter will basically explore what Jyn's life is like on Jakku with Rey. I think you all can guess how this chapter will end.
Now, I don't know much about pregnancy or labor because I've never been involved with it. Please let me know if I left out something about it.
Here we go!
Jyn landed in a large settlement called Niima Outpost. This was a place where she and her family had to go to get food portions. She hoped that the guy who gave her the food wasn't still here. When she walked up to the center of the outpost, she saw him. Unkar Plutt. The cruel worker who was obsessed with money and who hardly gave her food. She cursed to herself at the sight of the blobfish.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Jyn Erso. What the hell do you want?!" Unkar snapped at her.
"Shut up Unkar! Listen, I'm going to be staying on Jakku for a while. I'm going to need fresh supplies. And before you ask, yes, I have money on me," Jyn said.
"Money, eh? How much are we talking?" Unkar asked.
Jyn held up a credit chip. "900 credits," she said.
"Who knew you were rich! We have a deal, Erso!" Unkar said, snatching the credit chip, "What do you need?"
"A speeder, clothes, a home, food, and water," Jyn ordered.
"Fine. Take your pick of what you want," Unkar said, "I'm all out of homes here at Niima, so you need to find one in the desert."
Jyn rolled her eyes as she was lead to the back of Unkar's shop. She got a red speeder, a bunch of scavenger wraps, some child clothes, and Unkar gave her only a few portions.
"Why only two portions?" Jyn asked.
"Because you need to give me salvage to be able to get more food! Remember?" Unkar snapped.
"Sorry!" Jyn said sarcastically. She hopped on the red speeder and drove away.
(Line Break)
Jyn had been searching for a home for a while. Everything there either had scavengers there, or it wasn't a pleasant spot.
She grew tired after a while. It was either one of the symptoms of pregnancy, or she was just searching for a while. Then she saw it.
There was a fallen AT-AT walker in the middle of the desert. There were no scavengers around, and there were a few plants in the area. Jyn sighed in relief.
"Finally! A place to sleep!" she exclaimed.
This place wasn't like the comfy house back on Yavin IV, but it would have to do.
(Line Break)
Jyn was getting super annoyed of Jakku. She had to climb up Star Destroyers just to get scraps to give to Unkar for food. It was really hard since she's pregnant.
Every day, Unkar would give her small amounts of portions. He was the same as he was when Jyn first lived here.
She was now five months along with her pregnancy. Only four months to go. Every day, the baby would keep kicking harder and harder.
"The baby is fine! It's probably just hungry," the doctor kept telling Jyn.
"It's only one baby right? Because it's making me the size of a bantha!" Jyn asked.
"Don't worry! It's only one baby. You'll be fine," the doctor said.
(Line Break)
It was time! The ninth month had come! Jyn woke up feeling like crap. Then the baby kept kicking really hard. It kept on pushing out!
Jyn was struggling on riding to Niima. She really wanted Luke to be here with her. Husbands are supposed to be there for their wife when she's in labor!
She had made it to Niima Outpost. She quickly went to the doctor.
"I'M IN FREAKING LABOR!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She was in so much pain.
"Ok! We'll get you to your bed! Is your husband with you?" the doctor asked.
Jyn got angry at the mention of her husband. "DON'T BRING HIM UP! HE ISN'T HERE! BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER! JUST GET ME TO THE BED ALREADY!" Jyn screamed.
She was taken to a small makeshift bed and changed to a white hospital gown. The doctor kept on trying to calm her down but it was not working that well.
"YOU TRY GETTING SEPARATED FROM YOUR HUSBAND WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS!" Jyn kept screaming.
The procedure started! Jyn kept screaming and yelling and cursing at Luke for not being here. A few hours later, there was crying!
"Congratulations! You just gave birth to a healthy baby girl!" The doctor said smiling.
Jyn smiled for the first time in forever. Tears came into her eyes as she saw her baby girl.
"Can I hold her?" she asked.
Her daughter was passed into her arms. She was so little! Jyn guessed that she might get her father's height. She had hazel eyes just like her mother and little hints of brown hair.
"Hello there! I'm your mommy!" Jyn said, "If Luke were here, he'd be so joyful!"
(Line Break)
Far away from Jakku on Yavin IV, Luke had sensed something. At first he thought it was something bad since he heard someone in pain. But then it changed to joy.
He sensed a new life beginning.
(Line Break)
"You are my little ray of sunshine. I will do everything I can to protect you. I promise," Jyn vowed. The little girl smiled. Then she realized that her daughter still needed a name!
"What should I call you?" Jyn asked. She had just called her little ray of sunshine. Maybe THAT could be her name!
"How about Rey?" Jyn asked. The little girl squirmed and giggled.
"Alright then, Rey. How about you have a little bit of breakfast?" Jyn said.
She shifted her shirt so Rey could cling on. She then started nursing Rey.
Jyn wished that her family were here to see little Rey. They would be overjoyed. Especially Luke, since she was his daughter.
This was the happiest day on Jakku for Jyn.
(Line Break)
Once Jyn was released from the hospital, she realized that she had no baby stuff! She knew what she had to do, but it would be risky of her getting caught.
She walked up to Unkar. He looked at Rey in Jyn's arms and got interested.
"You've been busy, I see," Unkar said smugly.
"Very funny," Jyn said.
"What do you want?" Unkar asked.
"I need to go to the com station. There's someone from home I need to call," Jyn said.
"Fine. Follow me," Unkar beckoned.
Jyn followed Unkar to the com station. Once she got there, she gave Unkar a look.
"Privacy, please?" she said.
Unkar gave her a look and left. Then Jyn proceeded with her plan. She was going to call someone who could bring supplies. It wasn't going to be Luke. It was going to be someone else.
"Hello?" Ben Solo said on his comlink.
"Hi Ben! This is your Aunt Jyn," Jyn said.
"Oh! Hi Aunt Jyn! It's been a while," Ben said.
"Yeah it has. I have a favor to ask you. And you need to keep it between us," Jyn said.
"Ok. What is it?"
"I just gave birth to a baby. Before you ask, yes its Luke's child as well," Jyn informed him.
She heard Ben gasp. "I have a cousin?!" he shouted.
She quickly shushed him. "I don't want anyone hearing!"
"Sorry!" he apologized.
"I need you to come to Jakku and give me some of your old baby stuff. A cradle, diapers, toys, or anything for a baby. Don't let anyone see you!" Jyn ordered.
"On it! I'll be there in a few hours," Ben said.
They turned off their comlinks.
(Line Break)
Once Ben hung up his comlink, he went right down to business.
He snuck into his parent's attic to get the baby stuff. He needed to use the Force to be able to carry them to his ship. Then he went back to get the diapers from the refresher. Once he got them, he ran into Han.
"What are you doing?" Han asked his son. Ben got startled by his voice. What excuse could he pull off? He can't tell anyone about his cousin!
"Uhh… My friend at the Academy wasn't potty trained and needs these. He ran out of his own," Ben lied.
Han looked confused. "A kid who wasn't potty trained? Who is this kid and why didn't his parents potty train him?" he asked.
"His name is… Uhh… Link Link. His parents hated him," Ben lied.
"Link Link? I've never heard of this kid," Han said.
"He's new at the Academy!" Ben yelled. Then he quickly made a run for it.
Once he was in his ship, he put the diapers next to the cradle. Then he put the coordinates in and took off.
(Line Break)
Jyn watched Ben's ship land in front of her. He came out with the stuff, carrying it with the Force.
"Is this my cousin?" Ben asked.
Jyn smiled. "Yes. Her name is Rey," she said.
Ben grinned. "Hi! I'm your cousin, Ben!" he said. Rey giggled at him.
"She already likes you!" Jyn said, "Thank you so much for the stuff!"
"No problem. I even had to make up an excuse about a guy who wasn't potty trained to get the diapers," Ben said.
"Really? That's funny!" Jyn exclaimed.
"I got to go. Bye!" Ben said, waving.
"Bye!" Jyn said.
(Line Break)
Five years had passed since Rey was born. She looked a lot like her mother, but acted like Luke. Jyn had always wished that Luke could see her.
One day, when Rey was playing outside, Jyn had received a holo message from Leia.
"What is it Leia?" Jyn asked.
"Hosnian Prime is under attack! We need your help!" Leia said urgently.
Jyn froze. That would mean that she'd have to leave Rey. This was a life or death situation. She couldn't leave Rey and never come back! But the Resistance needed her. And maybe Luke would be there. She made her decision.
"Alright. I'll be there," Jyn sighed. She knew she would come back to Rey. She had to!
"Thank you Jyn!" Leia said. The holo computer turned off.
Jyn sighed. She didn't want to do this, but she had no choice. She then called Unkar.
"What? I have a lot of customers, Erso!" Unkar said exasperated.
"I need you to come to the AT-AT walker. It's urgent!" Jyn said.
"Fine!" Unkar said. Then the holo turned off.
He arrived a few minutes later. Jyn met him outside.
"What is it that you so desperately want?" Unkar said.
"I need you to watch Rey. I have to go away for a while and she needs to be taken care of," she said quickly. She pulled out another credit chip. "This is 200 credits. You need to keep her alive!" Jyn said.
Unkar took a quick look at the chip. "Deal," he grunted.
Jyn then went to find Rey. She found her playing in the sand. When she saw her mother, she grinned.
"Hi Mommy! Look at my sand castle!" Rey said pointing to a little sand castle. Jyn smiled at her.
"Hey Rey. I need to talk to you," Jyn said.
Rey stood up and walked towards Jyn.
"What is it?" she asked.
Jyn took a deep breath. "I have to go," she said.
Rey's eyes went wide. "Where?!" she asked.
"A friend of mine needs me to help her. You need to stay here. Unkar Plutt will take care of you," Jyn explained.
Rey started to cry. "No! Don't leave! Please!" she shouted.
"I'm sorry!" Jyn said.
Then Unkar came over and grabbed Rey's arm. Rey screamed. "MOMMY! PLEASE!"
Jyn knelt down to her daughter. "I'll come back sweetheart. I promise!" Jyn vowed.
Then a transport ship landed. Jyn knew this was her ride. She gave Rey a kiss on the forehead and walked inside the ship.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart!" Jyn whispered. A few tears came down her face as the ship took off.
Rey watched the ship leave. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! COME BACK!" she screamed and cried.
"Quiet girl!" Unkar yelled.
Rey took a glance at him and looked back at the ship. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed again.
Jyn heard her daughter's screams as she flew away from the planet's surface. She had promised Rey she would return and she intended to keep that promise.
But she would never go back…
A/N: There we GO! This was Jyn and Rey living on Jakku!
I made Ben be included in this chapter because in the novelization, he says to Rey, "It is you." I figured he knew Rey at one point so I decided to include him here.
That was how Rey was left on Jakku. You guys may not like the next chapter too much. Like I said, it's a part of my theory so don't go on a killing rampage like Anakin Skywalker did with the Tusken Raiders.
I hope you all enjoyed! Please review and I'll see you next time!
