Leia POV
At the resistance base...

When I heard that Poe was back with my granddaughter I immediately went to meet them. When I arrived I think my heart stopped for a second. Emmeline still looked so much like her mother. I make a beeline up to them.

"Emmeline?", I say astonished. I Crouch down to her level.

"Nice to see you too, General", Poe says in a sarcastic tone. I rolled my eyes and turned to Poe and said hello to him the turned back to Emmeline.

"Uh, hello uh-... Grandmother?" Emmeline said unsure.

"You can call me Grandma, Emmeline", I said warmly. I turned to Poe and thanked him for bringing Emmeline here.

"Come Emmeline, you'll be staying in my quarters", I said. I know she'll have a lot of questions about who she is, who her parents are and so on, so I rehearse in my head the story me and Luke me and Luke came up with.

...

Emmeline's POV

I have to admit I was nervous to meet my grandmother, but she seems like a very nice woman. We walk into her quarters and she shows me my room.

"Emmeline this is your room, do you like it?", Grandma asked.

"Emmeline this is your room, do you like it?", Grandma asked

It was lovely. I was glad it didn't have a bunch of pink in it. In the orphanage, they would always give girls these rooms covered in pink.

"I love it, I'm glad it's not completely pink like what the orphanage would with the rooms for girls", I say. I don't like pink so I'm grateful that it isn't.

"That's good, well, I'll let you settle in. Come out in half an hour for dinner and I'll answer the questions you probably have", said Grandma.

...

Grandma leaves and I start to unpack my stuff. I go to the closet to put my extra pair of cloths away and see that there is a bunch of shirts, pants, shorts and even dresses in the closet. Good, I won't be stuck with two pairs of clothing. I go put the rest of my stuff on the counter then go lay on the bed and rethink the day I just had.

...

I must have been laying down for awhile because I hear a knock on the door and it opens to reveals grandma.

"Time for dinner, Emmeline", said Grandma. She looks at the counter to my necklace and smiles.

"You still have it", she said as she walks to pick it up.

"Yeah... is there some kind of story behind it?" I ask curiously.

"Yes, it was a gift my biological father gave to my mother, he made it himself when he was nine."

"Oh"

"Well come out for dinner, I'm pretty you have a lot of questions."

...

We walk into the dining room and sit down at the table. The food is already on the table.

"So do you want eat first or ask questions?", Grandma asked.

"Ask questions", I say quickly. I really want to know about my parents and what happened to them.

"Okay, ask away" she said calmly. I hesitated and thought about how to word my questions.

"Poe told me that my parents names were Rey and Ben Solo and that they were Jedi, but what's their story?" I ask.

"Well, when Kylo Ren destroyed my brother's Jedi temple your father, Ben, escaped from the temple when Emperor Kylo Ren destroyed it. He was in hiding for ten years till eventually he went to Takodana and met your mother who was a part of the resistance and training to be a Jedi. Later on they had you.", She said calmly.

"What happened to them?", I ask.

"Kylo Ren was hunting your father down because he was the only survivor from the temple apart from my brother, eventually Ren found him and killed him and your mother.", She said sadly. I could see that a great melancholy has fallen upon her.

"Do you have any other questions?" She asked.

"Not that I can think about right now, I'm too hungry to think.", I say. She laughs.

"Well then, let's eat." She says and then we dig in.

I've decided to start adding pictures in this story for the imagination. I spent like 10 minutes on Pinterest trying to find a basic bedroom, but then I remembered that the word "basic" isn't in Pinterest's vocabulary.🙄😤
