The next morning Rey decided she was going to see her brother because something was bothering her, she had heard of his apparent transition back to the light side and as much as she wanted to believe that she just couldn't shake the feeling that this was a trap set for their parents.

When she got to his cell she knocked before going in not wanting to intrude. It was silent for a few moments before she heard his welcome.

"You can come in Jaina, you don't have to knock." Ben replied with a laugh.

"Well it just felt like the polite thing to do and I'd much rather you call me Rey. I know it's not my true name but it's what I'm used to being called so if you don't mind." Rey replied after closing and locking the door behind her.

"On the contrary sister, Rey may not be your true name but it was a sort of nickname given to you by our father. His Rey of light he called you but if you wish me to call you Rey then that is what I shall do. Now why don't you tell me why you've come? We both know you think I'm still on the dark side and this is just a trap so tell me, if you don't trust me then why have you come?" Ben questioned his sister.

"Well can you blame me for being a little suspicious? You haven't exactly been a saint you know and now you switch back to the light side without so much as blinking, you must see why I'm not entirely convinced. I want to believe you truly I do but when something seems to good to be true that's because usually it is." Rey replied honestly and Ben nodded.

"How right you are Rey and to answer your question, no I can't and don't blame you for being skeptical. However, I urge you to search your mind and feelings. I understand I've let everyone down but I'm trying Rey, truly I am. I wish I could be every little thing everyone wanted but I'm not perfect, I've done things so cruel and disgusting you couldn't even imagine nor would you want to. I know I can't undo the things I've done but if I could go back, if I could be everything a big brother should be I would've been for you. I'd have been a good son for Mom and Dad, a good nephew for uncle Luke and the best big brother in the world. You don't know how much I wish I could be all those things for all of you, I can't bear to look at myself in the mirror because I'm disgusted with myself. I will never be able to forgive myself for all I've done and I don't expect you to either but know this, I would rather die by my own light saber then hurt anyone ever again. I'm eternally tarnished by the monster I've become but you can become a great Jedi, it's too late for me but it's not too late for you so go out there and show the galaxy that there can be peace. Make me proud, be the Jedi I never could. Not just for me, or our parents but for yourself and for the galaxy. Make us all proud Rey." Ben explained and Rey could hear the guilt of his actions in his voice.

Rey knew now that he was being a hundred percent honest because she could feel it through the force.

Rey smiled,"I will. I'll make you proud brother, I promise." she replied and turned to leave but turned back and added,"Ben, try not to be so hard on yourself because nobody in the whole galaxy is perfect and we all make mistakes. I'll see you later."

Ben smiled sadly but remained silent and Rey left and locked the door behind her.

Weeks passed like years for Ben and he'd had lots of visitors but there was only one person he wanted to see right now and he knew she wasn't coming anytime soon. He couldn't blame her for wanting to stay away, he'd made her feel so guilty and ashamed. He'd pushed her away and shut her out again, it was nobody's fault but his own.

So when he heard the door open he wasn't in the mood for company,"Go away!" he muttered quietly.

"You wanted to see me, remember but if you want me to go away then fine." Leia replied sadly and turned to face the door.

Ben turned to see his mother as if in shock and gasped,"No wait! Mom, I'm sorry. It's just... well it's been nearly a two months since I got here and after how I treated you I... I didn't expect you to ever come back to see me. I've been so cruel and Dad said you thought I would never want to see you again but you're wrong Mom, in fact I was worried I'd lose you to your blaster or something because of how guilty I made you feel. Don't go Mom, I need you. Please... Mom stay." Ben pleaded desperately.

Leia turned around slowly with tears in her eyes,"I didn't think I deserved to see you after what I put you through as a child. Ben, you were my baby boy and you needed me and I couldn't even see it. I shut you out when you needed me most, I drove you to the dark side. It's all my fault and you deserve better." Leia explained as tears streamed down her face like little waterfalls.

Ben stood up and wrapped his arms around her now that his hands were free,"Don't cry Mom, please. You didn't drive me to the dark side, I did that to myself by lashing out in anger instead of talking to you and Dad about it like I should have and for the record, there is no better Mom than you for me. I know you think otherwise right now but that's my fault not yours. You and Dad made me train with uncle Luke because you didn't want me to turn out like your father, you're biological father that is. You only wanted what was best for me and I know that now. That's all anyone could ask for in a mother and you are the only mother I could ask for, I love you Mom. I miss you and I know I've let you down but I promise you I will never do that again, it's too late for me to become a jedi but I would rather die than hurt anyone ever again especially you. I am so sorry Mom and I don't deserve your forgiveness but I hope I can earn it." Ben told her with tears in his own eyes.

"You mean it, truly?" Leia questioned voice shaking from crying so much and Ben nodded and kissed her forehead,"Yes Mom, I mean it I truly mean it and I'll die before I break this promise."
