A note from your humble author: Look, let's not beat around the brush. Them dead-eyed little teady bear people are man-eaters. They were trying to cook Han and Luke when they first caught them, and you just know they were feasting on stormtroopers after the empire fell. I'm just keepin it real!

Also for the sake of the story I'm just going to pretend those horrible Ewok movie's never happened. I doubt I'm not alone on that one.

Every victory the resistance had ever known was also tinged with the bitterness of loss and death. There were no battles won that did not cost in the lives of those who fought. It was important to celebrate every victory, it fostered morale and hope amongst the men and women of the resistance, but it was also a time to grieve for those who had made the ultimate sacrifice.

That night the Ewoks were making their strange music all throughout their tree-top villages, celebrating their liberation with wild abandon. Though due to respect for their liberators, most of whom being human, they had opted not to feast on the corpses of the slain stormtoopers, at least until after the resistance vacated their world.

The disturbing omnivorous scavenger traits of the Ewoks had always been off-putting to General Organa, but she had to reconcile herself in her first encounters with these indigenous life forms, that theirs was a harsh world of survival and that wastefulness was tantamount to sin. Thankfully, she was still good friends with Chief Wicket, who had grown slightly grey since the fall of the Empire, but was considered wise and revered amongst his people. He had promised General Organa that they would not eat any of the resistance's dead and would respect their mourning rituals.

Luke Skywalker stood near the funeral pyre, torch in hand, and delivered the Eulogy for Lando Calrissian, as all who knew and loved him stood near and wept.

Rando shed silent tears as he wrapped one arm around his sobbing mother for comfort. She was several inches taller than him, and had been given a change of clothes to fit in with the resistance mourners. No one knew just yet what to make of the revelation that Ashani Calrissian was indeed alive, and had survived as a Knight of Ren, but for now she seemed to be a non-threat, though Ben kept a close watch on her until they had time to figure out where she really stood.

Rando had not spoken a word to anyone since he watched his father fall. He could barely raise his eyes to anyone even when they tried to offer him comfort for his loss.

Rey felt particularly guilty. She had been too distracted with the revelation of Rando's mother, and had let her guard down. She could not help but feel that if she had been more attuned to the force in that moment, as she should have been, she could have done something to save Lando's life. She felt as if she had failed both Lando and Rando completely.

Ben could sense her pain and guilt, but also her fear at having let herself fall too quickly into the darkness of vengeance that had taken over her. He wrapped her in his arms in front of him and did his best to send comfort through their bond.

Ben couldn't help but feel sadness and pain at the loss of Lando Calrissian. He had known the man since he was a boy. Lando had been kind to him, but also he felt the remembrance of his own pain, of his own loss. He knew what it was to lose a father, even if it had been by his own hand; it was a loss too close to home. All those who possessed the force and stood there around the funeral pyre could feel the pain of Rando, his voice silent, but his soul shouting out in anguish. He too, knew that pain. He genuinely felt sorry for Rando's loss.

General Organa stood with Chewbacca and held his furry hand for comfort, as he let out his occasional keening roars in Skyriiwook. Lando had been their friend for many years. He had fought beside them and had been as family to them.

Leia promised Lando's spirit that she would watch over his wife and son. It felt like the least she could do for the man who had once helped her to save Han's life and overthrow the Empire. She hadn't seen Ashani in years, but she knew that if her own son could be saved from the darkness then there was hope for Ashani as well. Rando would especially need her after losing his father, and she would do whatever she could to help them both.

Luke did not try to hide the tears as he praised Lando for having been one of the dearest friends and finest pilots he had ever known. With a final goodbye, he committed his spirit to the force, and lit the funeral pyre.

Not all of the Ewoks had been enslaved; there had remained a small rebellion operation of Ewok warriors, led by Chief Wicket, which met with limited success in their attempt to free the rest of their people. The return of his human friends had been a great moment of joy for the aging Ewok, not just because his people needed their help, but also his five year old grandson – Yibya.

The elders wanted to hail him as the avatar of their Sun deity, due to his remarkable powers, but Wicket knew better, he had seen those powers before in his old friend Luke Skywalker, and in a young Ben Solo.

The day after their victory on Endor, General Organa, Luke Skywalker, Poe Dameron, Finn, and C3PO met with the Ewok Chieftain to discuss the impact of the First Order's reclamation operation on the small forest moon. Many Ewoks had died in the initial invasion, as they had not been enslaved willingly and most had chosen to fight until the better end. Chief Wicket had lost both his son and daughter in the initial invasion, and Yibya was left with only his aging Grandfather.

"I'm sorry we weren't able to help sooner," offered the General, feeling genuinely guilty and sorry for her old friend's loss. They would have never been a target if not for the wreckage of the Empire's death star that had been scattered all over their world.

When Finn first woke up in the forest surrounded by the strange furry creatures, he had been alarmed. He was glad that he had survived Aldo Ren, but wasn't sure what to expect from the Ewoks who prodded him gently with their spears and regarded him like they were sizing up their next meal. Thankfully, Luke Skywalker had appeared, and though he seemed to have a very limited grasp of their strange language, the older Ewok, whom Finn now acknowledged as their Chief, had surprisingly recognized Luke, even though it had probably been many years since they had last seen each other.

He had been dizzy and he could feel blood when he reached up to touch his aching head. Despite his pain he did his best to warn Luke about his attacker. He had to lean on Luke Skywalker to make it back to their base camp that night and Poe had been mortified to learn of Finn's danger.

"I knew you weren't ready yet. This wouldn't have happened if you had waited until you were fully recovered," cried Poe as he fretted over Finn the whole time the medic was bandaging his head.

"Hey, I did pretty good, all things considered!"

"You're lucky those Ewoks came when they did. They're a bunch of scary little man-eaters, but I owe them. Finn, you could have been killed," he said.

Finn just placed his hand on Poe's and gave him one of his warm smiles. "You're not getting rid of me that easily."

Poe finally relaxed and hugged his boyfriend, but he did still feel indebted to the Ewoks for saving Finn.

When they gathered around the Chieftain, Poe was surprised when Luke Skywalker examined the young Ewok and declared that he did indeed have the force.

"Has that ever happened before?" he asked the old Jedi.

"The force can appear in any sentient being, not just humans, though I've never seen or heard of it in an Ewok before. There's a first time for everything."

"I suppose the Knights of Ren wouldn't think to search for force-sensitive's here," commented the general.

"Doesn't mean they won't eventually. He's going to have to come with us. Try to break the news to him gently 3PO."

C3PO began explaining to Chief Wicket that his grandson would be in great danger from the First Order if he were to remain with his people and that for his safety he should go with them back to the resistance, at least until they won the war.

"Are you going to train him?" asked Poe of Luke.

Luke merely scratched his beard and sighed. He had already begun basic Jedi training with Rando, and the last time he had taken more than one pupil it had ended in disaster. There was also the issue of Ashani Calrissian, who was fully trained with the force, but only in the darkside. The time of the Jedi was at a close, he had come to accept that the future of the force would take finding the balance, it would take being Grey.

Luke regarded his sister, who he could sense was feeling most of the same concerns.

"Perhaps," he finally said. "But the more urgent issue is Rando's mother. Do you think you can send BB-8 to fetch Ben for me?"

Chief Wicket looked troubled, but after listening to the golden droid, he agreed that his grandson would have to be kept safe.

"So…how's the leg?" Ben bluntly asked Ashani. He found her waiting beneath a giant of a tree.

Poe Dameron's orange and white ball droid had come rolling up as he and Rey were finishing their breakfast. He hadn't sleep. Rey wasn't ready yet to discuss all that had happened the day of the battle; she was still sorting the conflict of emotions within herself, and he wanted to give her time. He held her through the night as she wept into his shirt and he suffered because he had felt helpless to relieve her pain. He had rather been hoping that after breakfast they could go somewhere quiet in the woods and finally talk things out, when the droid had summoned him to his uncle.

He had wanted Ben, and Ben alone, to meet with Ashani and learn her future intentions, because unlike anyone else with the resistance, Ben had also once been a Knight of Ren. He knew what it was to come back from the darkness, to be given a second chance.

"The robotic replacement is suitable, Master Ren," she replied.

"Don't call me that! I am not Kylo Ren…not anymore. Here, I am Ben Solo. And if you want to stay anywhere near your son, you can no longer be Nezgul Ren."

"Stay?" she asked, feeling a small leap of hope in her heart. She had assumed that she had been summoned to wait here alone by the ball droid, to be executed, somewhere quiet and away from where others would see.

"I'm not here to kill you, though you probably deserve execution as much as I do. But I was given a second chance. If you can show me what's in your mind, and I see no further intent to serve the darkside…well…we'll see."

Ashani had never seen Kylo Ren's face before the day he took her leg on Dantooin, and he had never seen hers before yesterday. He had no idea that she had been the missing wife of his father's friend, and no reason to suspect as such. He knew nothing about any of the other Knights of Ren aside from their names given to them by Snoke. The Knights of Ren had never been on amiable terms with each other and had no reason to remove their masks in front of each other.

She patiently closed her eyes and opened her mind as Ben reached his hand towards her face and began searching her memories.

He saw her being hunted, her fear that they would find her son, murder her husband. Her family in danger by her proximity alone. He saw her fight to resist the darkside at first, how she had once battled against Aldo Ren and Ereus Ren for her life, and lost. They had tortured her, but they were not strong enough in the force to pry the knowledge of her family from her mind. It was a secret she had buried deep inside, but if Kylo Ren had ever thought to look for it, he surely would have found her secret. Because of this she had once feared him above all the others. She had begged for her life, swearing her service to the Supreme Leader. Her fear had led her to the darkside. Her faint hope of someday seeing her son and husband again, were the only thought that kept her alive in all her years of dark solitude. Her only reason for not letting the other Knights destroy her.

When Ben finally pulled back from her mind he watched her face as she cried bitter tears and trembled before him. "Lando. I loved him…so much. My son…if I would have stayed they'd of destroyed us all. I needed to get far away from them before the First Order found out the truth about my son."

"You knew Rando had the force?"

"He was only a little boy when I left, but I was certain. I can tell he is stronger in the force now than I have ever been."

"Did you know when Fresza Ren found him?"

"I hated Fresza Ren, she would have no reason to share such information with me."

"Where is Snoke?" he asked, doubting she would know, but hoping for any scrap of information he could get.

"I don't know where he is, but…I know who does," she added.

"Who?"

"Aldo Ren. He was the first Knight of Ren; the most loyal. He's been with Snoke since the rise of the First Order."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know where Aldo Ren is, but Ereus Ren or Hiji Ren might. Hiji Ren is on Coruscant, and Ereus is often seen amongst the crime bosses of Tatooine."

Ben paced as he considered the information. The Knights of Ren needed to be eliminated, and they were the path to Snoke.

"Please!" she pleaded as she dropped to her knees before Ben. "Forgive me, I beg you. I only wanted to see my son again. I'd have let them kill me if I had believed there was no hope. I swear I never wanted to serve the Supreme Leader, you've seen in my mind, surely you know that I'm not lying!"

"No one will harm you. I give you my word," he replied with a sigh. "Rando is with the resistance now; it was the only way to keep him safe from the other Knights of Ren. You will remain with the resistance until this war is over, after, if we succeed, you must learn a new way to use the force - the Grey path. If you ever betray the resistance, me, or your son, I will personally destroy you. Swear to me you will never walk the dark path again!" he ordered, calling upon the old authority he had once possessed over his subordinate knight.

"I swear it upon my husband's grave and my son's life! I will never walk the dark path again!" she pledged as the tears spilled from her eyes.

"Good. You must never speak of your time as a Knight of Ren to anyone outside of the generals close counsel, and you must never reveal to anyone outside of that close council that I was once Kylo Ren."

"Never. I will never bring it up. I promise."

"There is one other thing I want to know. My girlfriend, Rey, the one who fought beside me on Dantooin, the one who found you and Rando yesterday, her parents were murdered by the Knights of Ren. Who was it?"

When Rando's mother had been summoned away by Poe Dameron's little ball droid he had felt a wave of terror wash over him. Would they kill his mother? He had only just barely got her back! He had just lost his father, would he have to lose his mother too?

He saw Rey walking away from the resistance camp out into the forest. He had spoken to no one. He hadn't even felt like speaking with his own mother, a fact he regretted now, fearing that that chance may have been taken from him when she had been summoned away. Suddenly he needed to speak with someone and he felt that she, above all others, would understand him.

"Rey, wait!" he called, running after her.

"Rando…I'm…so sorry," she fumbled; not knowing what to say to help him, only knowing that he was in pain. She felt a pang of guilt tear into her gut. "I should have caught Aldo Ren. I should have stopped him. He got away. It's my fault."

Rando had never once considered his father's death to be anyone's fault but Aldo Ren. He had seen Rey do her best. "Rey, don't say that. You're a Jedi, not a god. Nobody can stop death. The only person to blame is that…Aldo Ren," he said, recording that name to memory for the rest of his life. "You and Ben risked your lives once just to save him, remember. Nobody's ever done that much for me. It's their fault, the Knights of Ren. I hated Fresza Ren when I met her for having abducted my father and forcing my hand against the resistance. I hated them all when you told me they were the ones who murdered my mother, even though that wasn't the case. I have even more reason to hate them now, especially that…Aldo Ren. Luke Skywalker will be disappointed in me, but I don't care. I hate them. I hate all Knights of Ren," he cried as he balled his fists in fury.

Rey recognized a plea for help. She knew it wasn't in Rando's nature to feel so much hatred. "You have every right to hate Aldo Ren. I can't take that from you, but please don't let such hatred consume you, and whatever you do don't think of vengeance. I walked in darkness yesterday after what happened. I would have murdered Aldo Ren if I had caught him. He must be destroyed, but it must be done for the right reasons. Killing him cannot bring back the dead," she said, and suddenly she felt the weight of her shame lifting from her shoulders, the Grey path opening before her once again. "The Grey path…someday I'd like to show it to you. There is a balance between love and hate. You are not damned for hating, especially not if you remember what you love, what you still have. Rando…you have your mother back. What I wouldn't give for what you have now."

"For how long? She must have committed countless war crimes when she was serving the First Order. General Organa will have her executed! She might be dead right now, they…called her away."

She had been with Ben when BB-8 had ushered him away. She had suspected Master Skywlaker's intentions with Ben.

Ben. Do you have to kill Ashani?

She asked him through their bond.

Probably not. Tell Rando to quit worrying.

He replied.

She gave a sigh of relief and smiled to herself, which Rando did not miss and he looked at her in confusion.

"Your mother will be forgiven," she told him.

"How? How can they forgive her after all that she's done?"

"Because they forgave Ben," she confessed. It had never been her place to reveal the truth of Ben's past to Rando, but the time had called for it. He needed to know the truth.

"What?" he asked in genuine confusion.

"Ben didn't just run away after Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy was destroyed. He was once Kylo Ren, the master of all the Knights of Ren. He was tormented, deceived, and manipulated by Snoke and had turned to the darkside. But like your mother, there was still good in him, a light that never went away no matter how much he was punished for it. Now he is Grey, like me. You and your mother should both be Grey as well, in time perhaps you will be. There is forgiveness for your mother, because there was forgiveness for him. If Ben can come back, so can she."

Rando was blown away by the knowledge that Ben Solo had once been a Knight of Ren, and not just any Knight of Ren, THE master of the Knights of Ren, which probably meant he had once been the worst of them all. Forgiving his mother had never been a question for him. She was his mother. If she had turned to the darkside she must have had her reasons. The important thing was that she was with him now, and most importantly, that she would not be destroyed. Suddenly a lot of Ben's hard personality traits made sense to him, and also, Rey's feelings for him. "You saved him didn't you?" he asked, feeling his heart break for Rey all over again.

"We saved each other," she replied, and Rando couldn't deny the love he saw in her eyes when she spoke of Ben. It was a warm glow that she had never shown for him. He didn't doubt that she cared for him…as a friend, but he could see now…she could never love him the way she loved Ben Solo. She would never be his.

He turned his back so that she wouldn't see his tears. "I won't tell anyone his secret. I promise."

"Rando?" she called, sensing his wrenching pain and sorrow.

"Thank you. I mean it," he blurted before running off back towards the resistance camp.

Ben was walking around the resistance camp, looking for Rey. He could sense that she and Rando had been sharing their sorrows together. Part of him was jealous that she would open herself to Rando, but not to him, the other part of him was trying to accept that whatever helped her overcome her turmoil was necessary.

He stumbled upon Chewie, who sat by himself at the camp, meticulously cleaning his bowcaster from the battle the day before. Ben could sense he worked with a heavy heart. Lando had been a great loss to him, another friend gone, and he felt the familiar stab of guilt in his heart.

He had not meant to stare, and had tried to look away when Chewie looked up and saw him. He moved to walk away, but stopped when he heard his uncle call to him in his chuffing Skyriiwook.

When he approached his uncle stood to his full height, which was intimidating, as very few were taller than he was.

"I'm sorry about Lando," he lamely offered.

Suddenly the big Wookiee seized him in one of his crushing hugs. He told him he was tired of losing family and that he had missed his nephew.

"I've missed you too, Uncle Chewie," he confessed, trying not to choke up, but promptly being crushed in another Wookiee embrace.

When Ben finally found Rey she was meditating alone in the forest. He could sense that she was already feeling somewhat better.

"Rey?"

She opened her beautiful warm eyes and smiled up at him. "I'm sorry, Ben. I was weak."

"Don't say that!" He argued. "You are the strongest person I know. You had a right to be angry yesterday."

"Vengeance does not bring back the dead. I should practice what I preach, shouldn't I? Some teacher I am," she scoffed.

"I shouldn't have left you. We shouldn't have fought alone, you were right about that. We are stronger together. I wasn't nearly as strong fighting on my own as I was when I had been fighting for you…I lost my saber."

"Ben…"

"It's nothing. I can make another…in time."

She rose and went to him and wrapped her arms around him. He could almost feel her light filling his soul.

"Rando's mother has agreed to stay with the resistance, and to abandon the dark path. She fell out of fear."

"What did you learn?" she asked, looking up at him.

"She doesn't know where Snoke is, but Aldo Ren does. Aldo Ren is the key to finding Snoke. The problem is finding him. We must leave for Coruscant soon, she said Hiji Ren may be found there, and Ereus Ren can be found somewhere amongst the crime bosses of Tatooine. One of them knows where Aldo Ren is hiding. We must hunt them down. Rey…she told me which one murdered your parents it was…"

"NO!" she cried, pulling back from Ben.

He looked at her in shock. He had though she wanted to know the truth. When they had still been enemies it had been one of her driving motivations.

"No, Ben, please don't tell me. Don't you see? I'll just want vengeance again. I'll fight for the wrong reasons. I can never know. If I know I will be fighting with darkness in my heart. If we are going to find the other Knights of Ren, if we're going to challenge Snoke, I have to balance my hatred with my love. I have to fight for the living, for my friends, for you, because you're here and I love you. Please don't tell me. If you love me, you won't."

He pulled her to him and seized her lips in a passionate kiss. When he finally pulled back and looked into her eyes he knew he could promise her anything. "I understand, Rey. I won't tell you. Perhaps someday, if we win this war, if you still want to know, but I won't put you in that jeopardy now. I promise you," he said as he wrapped her in his arms.

They were heading back to the resistance camp for the evening. It had been an emotionally draining day, but Ben realized it wasn't over yet when he heard Rando calling him.

"Rey, would you mind if I have a word with Ben," asked Rando. She nodded and left the two men alone.

Oh, um, by the way. I forgot to mention. I told Rando you were once Kylo Ren.

She blurted through the bond as she walked away.

You're lucky I love you.

He replied, suddenly anticipating what this conversation would be about.

"Rey told me about what happened to you after Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy."

Rey had neglected to tell him how Rando had taken that news, but assuming she hadn't warned him to beware of knives or blasters, he assumed that Rando was open to reason. "You mean that I was once a murderer?"

"Well, so was my mother, I guess. I don't know much about the dark side of the force, but if it's terrible enough to drive my mother to do what she must have done all those years, it must be pretty bad. I finally got to talk to her a little, after you let her go today. She confessed to having done some pretty terrible things. I threw up a little, to be honest. I never would have thought she could do such horrible things, but she showed me some of her memories…they were pretty awful. I felt her fear and her pain. I don't want to end up that way. Rey said I could be Grey like you guys. I want to learn. I want to fight."

"You've already started your way on the path. It will take a long time, you're very old to be just learning the ways of the force, but you've got potential," he said in probably one of the most outwardly kind moments he had ever shown Rando Calrissian.

"She'll never love me, but you know that don't you? You're a big jealous jerk, but you know it. I'll never have what you two have. I kinda hate you for that."

"You should hate me for a lot of reasons," replied Ben.

"I don't hate you for having been a Knight of Ren. I'm not blind, that's not who you are now, she wouldn't love you if you were. Besides, I have to believe a hateful bastard like you can be saved, if you can, so can my mother."

Ben was finally seeing that he had greatly underestimated Rando Calrissian. Perhaps he wasn't such an intolerable ass after all. "For what it's worth, I know what it's like to lose a father, and I'm sorry," but then added. "And I'm sure someone will be dumb enough to like you eventually."

"Gee, thanks, Asshole!"

But they shared no genuine hard feelings and laughed together on their way back to the base.

That night after dinner General Organa had called a meeting. The next day they would be leaving the forest Moon of Endor and heading back to the base on Takodana. It had been agreed that Rando, Ashani, and young Yibya would be returning to the resistance where they could be kept protected and also be helped by Luke Skywalker.

Yibya was terrified to be leaving his grandfather, he was still a child, and Master Luke would not be able to give him his full time, but to Luke's surprise, Poe Dameron had volunteered himself and Finn to be guardians for the Ewok child.

"What? We don't know anything about kids!" argued Finn, when Poe had told him the news. "Especially not weird fury man-eating kids! We don't even speak Ewokese!"

"He'll learn our language in time, and I'm great with kids. Besides, his grandfather and tribe saved your life. We owe them to help look after the kid. He'll have no family with the resistance, and he's only a little guy. He's scared. Besides, I can't do it all alone. I do also have a squadron to lead. Please? Heave a heart!"

Finn couldn't help but soften up at Poe's behest. He did feel he owed a debt to the Ewoks, and the strange furry child was somewhat endearing. He also knew that once Poe set his heart on something, it was best not to resist.

Rey couldn't help but smile at the predicament her two friends had found themselves in. She didn't doubt that they wouldn't make great guardians, and even BB-8 seemed excited about the idea.

After the meeting Luke approached Ben. "There's someone who wants to speak with you."

"Uncle, it's been a long day. I'm really 'talked out'," he protested, just wanting to curl up with Rey in their tent alone and be done with the whole exhausting day.

"Trust me; this is someone you want to meet."

Ben stood outside. It was growing cold and he had felt himself being drawn to the outskirts of the Ewok village. Suddenly he felt a strange feeling come over him.

This was it. This was where his grandfather's remains rested. He had always known his grandfather's remains had been burned on the moon of Endor, but now he could feel it, in the soil, in the air, those ashes that had once scattered to the winds. He could feel his grandfather all around him…and then he heard his voice.

"Ben," called the blue force ghost of Anakin Skywalker.

"Grandfather! Is it really you this time?" he asked, skeptical still, after so many years of having been deceived, but his grandfather had never appeared to him as he did now, in the robes of a true Jedi, and not in the mask of a fallen Sith Lord.

"I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted to come to you when you were younger, when you needed me, but you weren't yet strong enough in the force to call me forth, and by the time you were, you were too far gone in the darkside."

Ben dropped to his knees. Almost his whole life he had idolized this man, even though he had never truly known him. He had always imagined all the things he had wanted to say, to ask him, but now, he couldn't think of anything.

"Your Rey is very special. She reminds me a lot of your grandmother; you don't let a woman like that go. I'm really very grateful to her; it's because of her that you're here now, finally far enough into the light where you can summon me from the force. Where is your saber?" he asked.

"I…lost it…it was destroyed," replied Ben.

"Good! That saber wasn't good enough for any grandson of mine. You may be a Solo, but you're also a Skywalker, and from this moment forth, you must never forget it!" he said as he pointed to a hallow log.

Ben got up and walked to the fallen tree. He slowly reached inside of the knothole and felt something cold and metallic in his hand. When he pulled out his arm, he found that he was holding the lightsaber of Anakin Skyalker, the one Rey had once used to scar his face one fateful night on Starkiller Base.

"I asked your uncle to put that in there for you. He'd been keeping it ever since Rey made her own; but I told him it was time."

Ben ignited the saber and watched as the blue beam hummed before him. "Grandfather, I swear to you, this time I will do honor by your legacy."

A note from your humble author: Phew, that was a challenging chapter. So many important plot points had to be woven and I hope I did a good job keeping everything straight. Sorry it took me so long to finally get it up; it's been "one of those" weeks. I know I said I wanted to put lemon in this chapter, but the chapter was long enough as it is, and I think a lemon would have ruined the tone of this chapter, but don't worry, next chapter Rey and Ben are off to hunt more Knights of Ren and they will get some more sexy times. Awww and Poe and Finn are daddies now…sort of lol :D

Thanks to all my new readers and followers. Please keep letting me know what you guys think of the story so far. I get the sads when I don't get any love or encouragement. Please don't give me the sads! :*(
