Author's Note: Thank you for the wonderful reviews and follows on The New Normal. Hard to believe the story started only because I wanted Starbucks and was tend to only be a oneshot. Twenty four chapters later, Rey and Ben are now parents and hopefully you enjoy reading about their children in this sequel. Like the first story, I will continue to give as much fluff as I can, I know how some of you enjoy it, because I do too. Thank you.

No matter how many times they were aboard the massive vessel, their small facial expressions would say it all, their daddy's ship was remarkable.

Holding hands while walking through the pristine white halls, the pride and joys of Emperor Kylo Ren and Empress Rey Solo, marveled at their surroundings. With each step they would take, nothing but kind smiles were perceived by those taken by the small children. The small parallel beings of the famous powerful dyads would greet everyone they saw with a small and gentle hello.

The twins would pause during their journey to touch anything they found fascinating. Buttons, comps, stormtroopers, and in some instances, food. Their hand never parted as their father's words rang in their heads, "Stay out of trouble and stay together."

Being true to their promise, Rey and Ben had managed not to let their work consume their time, especially after they had become the one and only rulers of the galaxy. Since entering power, nothing but praises were heard about the new Emperor and Empress; they ruled the galaxy fair and just. The dyads would, at time, disagree with one another but in the end, would always manage to come to a compromise benefitting those they governed.

Empress Rey Solo was the kindest person one would ever meet. The council she had under her, never questioned her decisions as they knew Rey had only but the best interest for all. Meanwhile Emperor Kylo Ren, who after a long decision opted to keep his dark persona's name for ruling purposes, had somehow gained favor from the same people he had tormented once. Kylo figured it was due to the fact he was now married to a wonderful, loved soul and was the father of two, soon three, children. A family man is what he was perceived as. However, people knew better not to tempt the emperor too much, unlike his empress, Kylo Ren was still a force to be reckon with when upset.

Meanwhile, the dyads had chosen Naboo as their permanent residence, however, Naboo, even after persuasions and explanations, was still rejecting the idea of becoming part of the galaxy again. Naboo was still as independent as before and therefore, the dyads had no choice but to have their headquarters on a nearby planet instead. At times they would be separated by work, having to travel lightyears away from each other to asset disturbing events on other rims, or simply check up on those they ruled.

Nevertheless, no matter how much work they had, their children, Jade and Han, would always come first. The twins, only four years old, had become quite the travelers. They would accompany their parents wherever they would go, and on the occasions when their parents had to be away from each other, the twins were always given the choice on who they would want to accompany. At times, the twins would disagree on which parent they would want to go with and so, they too would separate for a brief period.

Presently, Emperor Kylo Ren, had business on the ice planet, Miren, and on having the chance to play in the snow, Jade and Han accompanied their father on his assignment. The Supremacy, once a base of the infamous First Order, was still in Kylo's hands, only this time, he would always put the massive ship to good use. Eliminating small settlements, killing innocent people was a thing of the past for the malice regime.

"Hello." A stormtrooper unit greeted the twins as they walked pass them.

The twins looked up and waved in awe. "Han!" Jade's eyes widened. "Look at the symbol!"

Han's eyes widened as his sister's when he realized the Stormtroopers were from the greatest squadron in the galaxy. "HI!" Han shouted as he waved at the unit in amazement.

Stormtroopers were now given the option to join and were scattered throughout the galaxy for good use. Some officers in the ranks were given the task to guard the new Jedi academy in Takodana. Eclipse Troops is what they were called and every child in the galaxy dreamed of joining the elite unit. They were set apart by a small moon symbol on their white uniforms and each member had special, grueling training by The Knights of Ren and at least two master Jedi. From a standpoint, they were the finest troops throughout the galaxy.

"Hey, little ones." The unit continued their greetings.

"Jade, did you see that? They said hi to me!" Han's enthusiasm grew.

"They said hi to me!" Jade retorted as she crossed her arms and puffed her chest out in annoyance.

"Come along, children." Their escort spoke before the twins could begin their bickering.

Jade and Han looked up at their escort, "Yes, General Nala."

Only a few steps were taken when, again, their walked through the halls were paused. A big toothy grin was on display on both their faces as they saw someone dear to them just a few feet away.

"Uncle Hux!" both twins screeched as they ran towards the red-haired man general.

Hux turned to the shouts and with a wave of his hand, dismissed the officers he was speaking to. With the twins now by his legs, the tall general squatted down to meet their gaze. He placed one hand on each of the twin's shoulder. "It's not respectable to shout like savages. What do I always say?"

"A 'pectable lady," Jade began.

"And a 'pectable gentleman," Han continued.

"Should always maintain discipline." The twins finished in unison.

Hux smirked at the twins in front of him and every time he saw them, he could not believe how much they had grown. For him they were still these two little helpless bundles who would merely eat and poop constantly. He sighed at their innocence and knew they would soon grow to be as strong and powerful as their parents.

"I see you have your own." Hux stated as he noticed the twins had a small lightsaber hoisted on their waists.

"Yes, but they are not real." Jade said dejectedly.

Han grabbed his and with a small flick of the wrist, a purple plastic stick propped out of the toy lightsaber. "See."

"Hmm, if you swing it hard enough, I'm sure you can do some damage." Hux encouraged.

"Oh, we did not think of that." They said in unison as they turned their heads to look at each other.

"Where are you heading?"

Jade's attention was back on her uncle. "Daddy said we can explore if we behave."

"We 'upposed' to be on our bestest behavior." Han chimed in.

"And are you?" A familiar voice came from behind them.

Jade and Han turned to see their dad, clad in black, walked towards them. It never seized to amaze them how people dispersed in front of him as he strode along. Countless people in the hall backed up against the wall as he moved eloquently to catch up to them. Hux stood back up and placed his hands behind his back, regaining his perfect posture and respectable aura.

General Nala, once the escort of Rey, greeted her ruler with a nod and salute. "They have, sir."

"Good. I'll take it from here, general." Kylo responded as the general, once again nodded, and walked away. Not before waving goodbye to the children, she had been escorting.
