The next morning Leia and Han were woken up by someone knocking frantically on the Falcon's door.

"Han, what is that noise?" Leia grumbled in annoyance and Han sighed,"Oh it's probably just Rey. There was one hell of storm last night and when we didn't return to base she probably got worried."

"Well go let her in, I'll get dressed and meet you out there." Leia whispered sleepily and Han nodded.

"Okay, I love you Leia. I was worried I might lose you last night, you were so cold." Han said softly and Leia brushed her knuckles along his cheek.

"I know but thanks to you I'm just fine. Now go before she uses her light saber to open the door." Leia whispered and kissed him softly.

"And I love you too Han." Leia added as he got up and went to let Rey in.

"I'm coming Rey, just hold on a second." Han called before he opened the door.

He no sooner opened the door and Rey threw her arms around his neck crying her eyes out,"Do you not realize that you and Leia are the closest thing I have to parents? When you didn't come back I thought I'd lost you." Rey sobbed uncontrolably and Han rubbed her back soothingly.

"Sh sh, It's alright. We're both just fine and I'm sorry if we scared you but I'm okay and Leia's okay. We're fine Rey I promise. Calm down." Han said softly trying his best to sooth her but without success.

"Rey? What's the matter? It's okay sweetheart, come here." Leia said as she came out of her bedroom to see a distraught Rey and Han trying in vain to calm her down.

"Leia! I am so sorry for what ever it was I said yesterday and I know you said you were fine but you looked as someone had stepped on your heart and shattered it into a thousand pieces. I am so sorry, I'm just glad you're both okay." Rey cried as she ran into Leia's waiting arms.

Leia gave Han a look that clearly translated into,"We need to talk."

"Rey you haven't said or done anything to be sorry for, I promise. It wasn't what you said that upset me. It had nothing to do with you, I was just having an emotional day yesterday and it wasn't what you said but rather the memories of someone I knew a long time ago that were brought to the forefront of my mind. Okay? So I want you to stop beating yourself up for something you couldn't possibly have known about. Listen to me Rey, You've done nothing wrong so please calm down." Leia explained slowly and calmly and Rey nodded.

Rey took a few deep breaths to calm herself and wiped her eyes before she let out a small humorless giggle,"You must think I'm acting like such a cry baby child." and both Han and Leia simply stared at her with concern clear in their eyes.

"No I don't think that at all, in fact I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for you to grow up all alone and having no one to depend on but yourself." Leia said as she gestured for Han and Rey to join her at the small table in the Falcon's cockpit.

Rey sat down at the table next to Leia while Han took the pilot's seat but swivled to face them.

"You know that Luke Skywalker is my brother and that I was adopted under the name Organa. What you don't know is that my adoptive parents were asked to serve as the king and queen of Alderaan which made me Princess Leia for a while at least. Now sure I didn't know I had a brother until I was at least your age but I still had a family even if they were not of my blood. To go through life with an adopted family is a challenge on it's own but to go through life with no family at all? That is a feat, I'd imagine not even I would be strong enough to handle. Rey I don't know where your parents are or if they're out there but I'd be willing to guess that if they could see you now, They would be very, very proud of you. Of that I am absolutely sure." Leia explained and Rey gasped.

"Oh so that's why Han called you his princess. Now I get it." Rey snickered and winked at Han while Leia's face turned beat red.

"Oh he did, did he? Well did I ever tell you about the time I called him scruffy looking? That was so hilarious and even Chewbacca thought that was funny, Han got so mad that he told Chewy and I quote 'Laugh it up, Fuzzball!'. Oh we had such fun teasing him about it over the years and we've never let him live it down. Have we, Scruffy?" Leia asked while barely holding back her laughter and Han pinched the bridge of his nose although he had a small smile on his face.

"Okay ha ha very funny. Now can we go eat? I'm starving." Han asked after he regained his composure and Rey and Leia just laughed but nodded.

"Yes and then we have to clean up the mess the storm left in it's wake because it's a disaster zone out there." Rey replied when she reined in her laughter.

So together the three of them walked off the Falcon and back to base as a group.

After everyone had eaten breakfast and cleaned up as best they could from the storm the night before Rey began to wonder what Leia had meant when she spoke of her memories of someone she'd known a long time ago and wondered who that someone was because it was plainly obvious that Leia clearly loved and missed them very much to have been so upset.

Rey wondered Leia and Han could've more than one child and if so then she wondered if that was who Leia referred to.

Rey was sitting in the medical bay visiting with Finn who was now conscious but still recovering from his serious although not fatal wounds when Leia walked into the room.

"Hey, I was looking for you. I thought I'd go for a walk if you wanted to come with me." Leia offered with a smile and Rey nodded.

"Yeah sure. I'll see you later Finn, you rest up so we go fight off some more of those storm troopers." Rey said with a laugh which Finn returned.

"Okay, later." Finn replied.

"So Finn's doing well I see." Leia commented and Rey bobbed her head,"Yeah. He still has some resting up to do but he should be up and about in another couple of days or so, maybe a week."

"Well I'm glad to hear it and what about you? Have you thought anymore about continuing on your search for your family?" Leia asked and Rey shrugged.

"Maybe but for now all I've got to go on is that Kylo dumped me on Jakku when I was only four and that whoever my parents are think I'm dead at this point so I'm not sure if I'll keep looking or not. I mean they've spent all this time thinking I'm no longer alive and I just wonder if it might be too painful if I were to find them only for them to realize that all this time I was alive and they had no idea. I don't want to cause them anymore suffering than they've already had so maybe I should just leave them in peace." Rey explained thoughtfully and Leia gasped.

"But Rey think of how happy they'd be to know that their little girl is still alive even if she's not so little anymore. I'd want to know you were still alive if I were your mother. You don't know how hard it is when you have a child who is the light of your life only to have that light ripped away before all you've got left is an emptiness filled with darkness and sorrow." Leia exclaimed sternly and Rey raised an eyebrow.

"You say like you know the feeling, Ben wasn't the only child you and Han had was he?" Rey questioned warily and Leia sighed.

"Is it that obvious?" Leia asked and Rey remained silent.

"No Ben wasn't our only child. We had a little girl too, her name was Jaina and like you she went missing when she was four years old however as far as we know Jaina is dead. For years I've wondered if maybe, just maybe she was still alive out there somewhere but I worry about how Han would cope if that were true. You see he feels that if she is out there and something happens to her that he'd be responsible because he wasn't there to protect her. I'm scared that if we found her alive and something bad had happened to her over the years that Han would never forgive himself, I worry the pain caused by not being there to protect her would kill him." Leia explained sadly and Rey felt horrible for bringing it up.

"Oh Leia I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to drag up painful memories again, I-" Rey started apologizing but Leia stopped her.

"Don't be, it's not your fault and it can't be helped. Anyway she'd be about your age now." Leia told her and Rey nodded.

They walked for a bit longer before going back to base and later that night Leia and Han were in the middle of a huge and very loud argument the likes of which they'd never had before. Little did they know that Rey heard every word of it.

"Han, I am telling you she is our daughter!" Leia hissed and Han growled in frustration.

"Dammit Leia, our daughter is dead! Okay, Jaina is dead and no matter how much we wish it wasn't true does not matter because it is true. Jaina is gone Leia! She's gone and she is never coming back! Rey is not Jaina, she is not our daughter. I wish it were that simple, I wish she was our girl but she's not and wishing for it dosen't make it so!" Han shouted unaware that Rey was just outside their door.

"Why can't you see it!? She has your eyes Han! She was four years old when Ben went and left her on Jakku to rot, the same age as Jaina was when we thought she'd been killed and Rey is nineteen just as Jaina would be now. You said it yourself just the other day, we never found her body and what if Ben just made it up? Think about it Han, what if the reason we never found her body is because there was no body to find? What if Jaina is alive and what if she's been right here in front of us all along! Please Han listen to me, Rey is our daughter. Rey is our baby girl, I'm sure of it." Leia said pleadingly as tears ran down her cheeks.

The sound of glass shattering as it hit the wall could be heard and Rey guessed that Han had thrown something in anger.

"Just drop it, Leia! I love you but we can't go on like this because it's killing me. I can't get my hopes up that she might be alive or that Rey is Jaina because if she is truly our daughter then I'd the happiest idiot in the galaxy but what if she's not? Huh, what if Rey isn't our princess? I'll tell what would happen if I let myself hope for it to be true only to find out that it wasn't, I'd die of a broken heart and then where would we be? You think I don't know how hard this is? That a day goes by that I don't want to go out search the galaxy until I find her or her body or something to prove that she was real, that we actually had a daughter and that I'm not going mad?! I know exactly how hard this is so don't you dare act like I don't give a damn because I do Leia! I do! I do get it but I can't go on hoping that she'll just waltz through that door one day when I know in my heart that just because it could happen dosen't mean it's going to happen and I... I can't Leia, I-I just can't because it's too hard. I'm sorry." Han was screaming and then it sounded as if he just broke down in tears as loud sobs could be heard.

Rey felt her heart breaking for the man she thought of as father figure before she decided it was time she went to bed.

Leia heard what sounded like footsteps outside their door as if someone had been listening to them fight and then walked away.

"Han, did you hear that?" Leia whispered.

"Hear What? I didn't hear anything, why?" Han asked after he'd calmed down.

"I think someone heard us fighting. I heard footsteps right outside our door almost like someone was listening to us and then just walked away." Leia told him quietly and Han paled.

"You don't think...? You don't think Rey heard us, do you?" Han choked out and Leia looked worried.

"I think it was Rey. Oh no, I hope we didn't upset her." Leia said sadly.

"Don't worry I'll talk to her in the morning, she'll be fine." Han said reassuringly.
