Wren's body laid on a shaky table, her pale hand falling to the side. Next to her lay Ryker, his tongue rolled out of his mouth in an unconscious state. Footsteps sounded in hall leading to them.

"Sir, she hit the ground just as we intercepted her through the portal. It appears her arm is broken and she had a large gash above her left eye, along with some other internal damage."

"Is she stable?" A gravely voice mumbled, dripping with concern.

The medical attendant paused, almost as if he didn't want to answer. "F-For now. We have a droid patching up the flesh wound."

The man nodded and turned towards the room. "Notify the resistance. The General will want to know of her return."

The other nodded and hesitated a moment before dipping his head in regards and scattering away.

Wren's eyes remained closed but the dog below her feet began to stir. Ryker's sleepy eyes opened as heavy footsteps emerged. A deep growl echoing from his throat as he pushed himself up, wobbling as his claws slid on the unaccustomed surface.

"Easy, boy." The man spoke bending down, reaching out a hand for the creature to smell.

He slowly moved to pet the dog, its red eyes carefully watching him.

"You don't remember me do you?"

The dog barked in reply, but the man understood as if he spoke directly to him.

"You don't look like you've aged a day, and my girl looked as if she was in good enough shape. I don't want to know the trouble she was in to cause you two to jump and risk your lives."

The dog nodded and let its fur lie flat, sitting down with its head tilted in interest. The human shifted to sit on the ground and run his hands through his messy dark hair.

"You know, I haven't spoke to her mother in months." His brown eyes were filled with regret.

The dog whimpered and put a paw on his leg, looking to the ground.

"Ahh don't worry. I see her almost daily with the retched force bond we share." He let out a small chuckle and slowly shook his head.

"Would retched really be the word?" A voice sounded from behind them and the man quickly turned to face a beautiful girl.

"Rey.." He said at almost a whisper and quickly pushed himself off the ground.

"Ben." She greeted with a careful nod, looking to the table. "My baby."

She rushed past him and put a hand on the girls head. "Is it really her?"

Ben nodded, moving to her side holding up a tan piece of fabric. The woman smiled and took it from his hand, their fingers brushing lightly. She met his gaze, shocked by the sudden remembrance of their past.

"My scarf. From my days on Jakku." A light smile met her lips as she turned away from him.

"This is my baby girl. My Wren."Rey's breathless tone uttered as she smiled widely.

"Our girl." Ben whispered to himself, unhappy at their distance.

Rey heard him but showed no sign of it. In her mind she decided that their relationship wouldn't work because of their constant split in the dark and light. Though she couldn't deny their connection.

"What's happened to her? Why is she unconscious?"

He looked down to the dog at his feet, almost pleading for his help. He wasn't sure how to break it to her.

"Our ship was made aware of her presence months ago. I had searched the planet for almost a year, keeping an eye on her. However, she seemed to have gotten into trouble and leaped from a cliff to escape a man. We caught her just as she hit the ground."

Rey gasped and closed her eyes. "I knew we should never have left her. At the time getting her away from the war seemed like a good idea."

"In the end we did the same thing my parents did. Look how I turned out."

Rey let out a chuckle and watched him with slight concern. Ben's gaze had shifted to their daughter, looking distant. Rey reached out and intertwined her fingers with his.

"I'm sorry. Touchy subject, I know." She sighed and looked to their hands.

He followed her gaze and nodded, putting his hand on her cheek and resting his head on hers.

"Rey... I."

"I know." She said simply. "I know."

He nodded and closed his eyes, basking in the moment of their closeness.

"Where are you now?" He asked pulling her into a hug.

"The resistance base. I got the message and decided this was the quickest way to see her." She wrapped her arms around his torso.

"Why call it the resistance anymore? There's nothing to fight."

She nodded against his chest. "You're right. I'm just accustomed to it I guess."

He nodded with a small smile.

"What about you?"

Ben let out a sigh. "I'm close to the planet earth. If you'll allow it I'd love to meet you on Naboo. I want the first thing she sees to be the beauty of the galaxy. It's most like her planet."

Rey nodded with a smile. "I'd like that Ben Solo."

He rolled his eyes playfully and kissed her head. "Maybe we could go on an adventure. Like old times."

She pulled away and arched a brow. "Like old times?"

"Well I think taking down Snoke, and ending the war was a pretty good adventure."

She frowned and leaned on a hip. "It also tore us apart. Ben we've never truly been happy. You left after the resistance won because you wanted to get away. Then you never came back."

"I-I was lost ok? I had managed to kriff everything up and I thought that, maybe if I was gone... you'd be happy."

Her expression looked taken back. "After all this time, you still don't see that you make me happy."

His dark brown eyes searched hers and he smiled for the first time in months. "I suppose you're right."

"Yes I am Solo." She leaned forward her gaze settled on his lips.

Just as they brushed together she was gone.

Ben looked down to Ryker letting out an exhausted sigh. "Retched."
