That night, after all the feeling in my body was regained from being made temporarily immobile by Snoke, Cassian and I shared a night I will never forget for as long as I live.

That night, we didn't have sex. We made love.

It was love-making in the way we gazed at eachother with longing and love.

It was love-making in the way he gentle caressed my skin, as if I was made of porcelain.

It was love-making in the way we had no rush to reach our climax, instead going satisfactorily slow, wanting to feel every inch of each other.

Now we lay together, bare, in his soft bed. Just laying. Enjoying each other's mere safety and existence.

"Stardust, we have to get up. Everyone wants to see you. They were all so worried.", reminded Cassian, as he gave me a kiss and walked over to the bathroom.

I didn't reply. He knew i heard him.

I simply smiled to myself. I can't wait to see everyone. Han, Leia, K-2SO, Mon Mothma, Luke. And all the other friends I've made in my time here.

When you are facing a grave danger, you suddenly appreciate everyone and everything a lot more than you did before.

I suddenly acquire a new burst of energy and jump out of bed.

I rush to the bathroom and turn on the shower head, taking a quick bath to freshen up.

Cassian stands at the sink, brushing his teeth.

"You couldn't wait for me to be done?", he says with an amused smirk.

"It's not like you haven't seen me naked before.", I reply with a mischievous grin in return.

"Touché", he giggles and walks out of the bathroom.

I step out of the shower, dry myself, use the toilet, and brush my teeth all in a hurry, as if I'm rushing to take off on a mission.

While I get myself dressed, I reminisce on my mental state while being tortured by the horrid Snoke.

I could only think of everyone here in the base. Especially Cassian. I could only think of never seeing him again. Never getting to marry him. Never getting to say goodbye. Feelings of regret and frustration rushed over me, overwhelming me.

When we are both ready, Cassian and I walk out of his room.

I feel thousands of D'Qarian butterflies zooming in my stomach with nervousness.

And of course, the first person I spot is Han.

I am looking over the hangar with Cassian by my side when I see him and he sees me, our eyes looking.

His eyes brows twist confusion until I see his eyes go wide in realization.

"Jyn?", I see him mouth.

He runs up the stair, jumping two steps at a time, until he reaches me.

He doesn't say anything.

He only pulls me into a strong, tight hug as I wrap my arms around him.

This moment is both heart-warming and odd. I've never seen Han this serious.

"Woah, Han. I think you forgot you're married and I'm engaged.", I say with a smirk to lighten the mood.

"I hate you.", he giggles into my ear.

He pulls away and gets a good look at me, shaking his head.

"Why are you always getting yourself into trouble, Erso?", he says with an amused side smile that soon disappears, "We were all very worried, you know."

"I know.", I reply, comfortingly rubbing my hand over his arm.

"You should go, though, Leia wants to see you real bad.", he says.

I hug him one last time and soon, Cass and I are on our way again to the command room.

"I see you and Han have grown quite close.", comments Cassian with a small smile and glint of jealousy in his eyes.

"I've never known you to be the jealous type.", I say, with a small smile as well.

"I'm not jealous.", he said with fake confusion.

"Mmhmm", I purse my lips, giving him a side glance.

"He-he said his name was...Snoke.", I say hesitantly, rubbing my arm in uncomfortableness.

"Did he tell you why he held you captive?", asked General Leia with a worried face, who has reached eight months of pregnancy as is obviously in her bulging belly.

I swallowed roughly and look around the dark command room at all who stand and sit before me to listen to what I witnessed while in my short captivity.

"Snoke said I was to deliver a message to the Resistance. He said...he said that there is a new Sith order growing from the ashes of the Empire...and that soon...soon it will be an equal replacement to the Empire, him as their leader. It is to be named...the First Order. ", I said seriously.

"To the main concern...based on his use of the Force on you, do you believe this so-called 'First Order' has enough strength to match the Empire?", asked Mon Mothma with a doubting tone.

Everyone slightly leans in, afraid yet eager to hear my response.

"More. They have more power.", I sadly must say, "I know it in the way he seduce my mind with a nightmare, when his use of the Force on me was so strong...I thought my brain would explode...it hurt more than anything I've ever experienced.", I finish, feeling tears glazing my eyes over, yet holding it back, wanting to seem strong in front of the commanding officers.

I felt Cassian gently squeeze my hand as I glance at him in thankfulness. He always seems to know how I feel and what to do to make me feel better.

"Thank you, Jyn. For relaying this message to us and we are very regretful that this even occurred.", said General Draven, as the high ranking officers shared worried glances at each other after hearing this disturbing news.

I can only imagine how they feel. Well, actually I feel the same way. The Resistance just came out victorious after about 20 years of trying to defeat the galaxy's biggest threat to only find out that they have been replaced with something much worse.

"I am only thankful that now we have this important information.", I say with a slight node to all the officers.

Cassian and I walk out of the room as I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"If I ever see that Snoke guy, I will rip his fucking head off his fucking body.", he says through gritted teeth as he holds me close, walking to the cantina.

"I'm sure you will.", I say leaning into his warm body, knowing Cassian is sadly no match for the viciously strong Snoke.

"You did a great job going on there, by the way. Even though you didn't have to, you did it. One of the many reasons I love you.", he says proudly as I lean up and kiss his cheek in thanks.

Author's Note:

I'm sure you guys saw the part where I mentioned Leia's pregnancy. Yes, that means you will be meeting a new little somebody *wink wink*.

I didn't mention the pregnancy throughout the book because, well, this book isn't about Leia, it's about Jyn.

I just decided to do it now because I love Ben and Jyn is now good friends with Han and so she will be more involved with the Solo's.

Just wanted to say all this so you guys aren't questioning why I didn't mention it before until now.

Oh and that picture? That just my mom.

May the Force be with you guys.
