A/N: Star Wars, it's characters and locations are owned by Lucas and Disney. Amara, Serena, the kids (excluding the names Shara, Han, and Obi) Malik and Delena are names I came up with.
Putting of sleep for a while longer, I headed for the med-bay to visit someone I hadn't seen in awhile, Shara still asleep on my shoulder.
"Hey sis, quite a lot has gone on since I last visited you. Been almost two years since you were awake. Leia's doing good; Ben on the other hand is still with the First Order. Maybe you could bring him back, you know, if only you were awake. Poe and I, well, we're not friends anymore. It's a long story; one for another day. Well, that'll be when ever I see you again; I'm leaving for Hoth tomorrow morning to help the members over there to get it in it's prime. You should see your niece; she's growing more and more each day and well, she looks a bit like her father." I smiled at my sleeping daughter. "Anyways, goodnight little sister." Standing up from the chair next to her bed, I kissed her forehead, just like mom and dad used to do when we were little.
Sleep came easy that night, so when it came time to wake up, I wasn't tired for once. After showering, I threw my dirty clothes into a small bag and packed it with my other clothes. My outfit consisted of an issued white shirt, black pants, boots, and a heavy jacket, which I had wrapped around my waist. waking Shara up, I got her changed into her clothes and helped her get her things packed so after I left she could go with Finn and Rey. Tucking the envelope in my back pocket, I carried my tool box and possessions in one hand and Shara had her bag on her back. Holding her small hand, we left the room we knew as home for the last three years.
We met up with Rey and Finn in the cantina for breakfast and then to the small passenger carrier that would be taking me and the two other mechanics that I sorta knew to Hoth. Before boarding the aircraft, I hugged them once again and gave Rey the letter to Poe once he got back. Kneeling down to my little girl's height, I pulled her into a bear hug and we both cried.
"You be good for uncle Finn and Aunt Rey until I get back, alright?" I said, pulling back from the hug. "I promise." She sniffled. Going into my standard duffle bag, I pulled out my old music box from when I was her age and placed it in her hands. "Whenever you miss me, just play this, okay? It'll be me singing to you like I always do." Finn and Rey went to stand behind her as I stood up and kissed her forehead. They both nodded as I boarded the carrier. Sitting down and strapping in, I waved goodbye as the door started to close. Too bad I didn't know what was to come later on.
