Armitage and I entered the Revenant. Rosemary was waiting for us.

"Hello, General Hux," She said, shying away from him.

"Rosemary, you can call me Armitage," he said, trying to warm up to her. I smiled.

"Oh, um, okay," she said, slowly getting comfortable with him. "Mom, I just found something wrong."

"What?"

"T3 is missing."

I groaned; I completely forgot about him.

"Why? Is T3 important?" Armitage asked, looking at me.

"Yes, he has secrets dating back to the Clone Wars," I said. "He also contains much knowledge of the Empire and the First Order."

"This droid has first order secrets?" Armitage asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," I sighed,

"I will send a squadron to Corellia to retrieve it; you're not going back to that planet," he ordered.

"Armitage; I can handle it," I said.

"No; I have stormtroopers at my disposal. We can put them to good use," he responded. "I bet you're glad you married a General." He walked over to me and put his hands on my hips.

"You bet I am" I said, wrapping my arms around him. He smiled down at me and kissed me on the top of my head.

"Ahem," I heard from behind Armitage. We quickly let go of each other and looked at Rosmary. She raised her eyebrows and looked at us in disgust.

"Okay, weirdos," she said, rolling her eyes. "Where at we going now?"

"I have an idea," I said. Armitage looked at me; then his eyes widened.

"No. No, no, no," he said with a sigh.

"Yes, we're going. Plus, Rosemary might want to visit it," I argued.

"Jetta..."

"Armitage. C'mon, Bespin will be fun."

"I'll have to go incognito," he said. "Last time I was there, it wasn't a pleasant time."

"Well, do you what you must. I can get an old Mando helmet for you," I offered with a laugh.

"Hah! I'd love to try to wear one of those," he said, smiling.

"Where is Bespin?" Rose asked, rejoining our conversation.

"The middle of nowhere," I said. "It's a gas giant, but Cloud City is amazing. You'll like it there."

"Coruscant is my favorite planet so far!" She said proudly.

"Rose, you were there for ten minutes," I stated.

"Well, I still liked it!" She protested.

"Alright then," I said.

"I'll be back; I need to inform Kylo to deploy a squadron to Corellia," Armitage said. "I'll be back."

"I'll come with you," I said.

"Me too!" Rosemary piped in.

"Very Well. Come along," he said. We followed him back out of the Revenant.

"Is this... Salt?" I asked, looking at the ground.

"Yes, it is," Armitage said. "This is by far the strangest planet I've been on."

"I agree; I'm definitely not raising my child here," I said.

"No, not at all," Armitage said as we reentered the base.

"Whoa, this place is huge!" Rosemary exclaimed. "What is it?"

"An old Rebellion base. Jetta, I need you to stay here. Kylo is, ah, most unpleasant at this time," he said, rubbing his neck.

"Armitage, what did he do to you?" I asked.

"Nothing, really. Its not important. I'll be back," he said, leaving Rosemary and I alone. A few seconds later, some stormtroopers walked over to us.

"GD-8954?" One of them asked, looking at Rosemary. He took his helmet off and smiled.

"TK-1356?" She said, looking at him. She ran over and hugged him.

"What are you doing with this bounty hunter?" He asked, looking at me.

"Her name is Jetta Fett; she's my mom," she answered proudly.

"Oh. Say, I thought Phasma ordered your termination," he said.

"She did; but I ran away and found Jetta. She saved me," Rosemary told him, smiling up at me.

"Wow, this bounty hunter isn't a selfish sleemo," he said. I began to get defensive, but then i realized it was something of a compliment.

"Thanks, I guess," I shrugged. Armitage walked back over to me and sighed.

"The Supreme Leader wants a word with you," he said hesitantly, as if he didn't want me to go.

"Alright," I said, walking towards the small room Kylo was in. Why did he want to see me?

When I entered, he was standing there, staring at a wall. He didn't move and if he weren't upright, I would've thought he was dead. I cleared my throat.

"Um, Supreme Leader? You asked to see me?" I said, cautiously approaching him. He turned around and looked at me, fury in his eyes.

"Where is Zors Rass?" He asked bluntly.

"Zors? We separated a few days ago. We got into an, um, an argument and he left."

"Thank you, Jetta, you may leave," he said, turning to face the well once again. When I walked back out to Armitage and Rosemary, I heard yelling and shouting.

"What the heck?" I said aloud as I heard both of them screaming at each other.

"WATCH YOUR TONE!" Armitage yelled.

"YOU DON'T DESERVE MOM! YOU'RE A MEAN, STUCK UP, SELFISH CRAB!" Rosemary shouted back. Several of the stormtroopers slowly backed away.

"What is going on?" I asked, but they ignored me.

"I AM NOT A CRAB!"

"ARE TOO!"

"AM NOT!"

"YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS ZORS AND POE DAMERON!" Rosemary taunted. Armitage took a step back, looking hurt.

"Rosemary!" I yelled, looking at her in disbelief.

"Well, it's the truth!" She argued.

"Back to the Revenant, now!" I ordered, getting angry. She huffed and stormed out of the building.

"Armitage," I began slowly.

"Does she really not like me?" He asked, looking at me.

"I don't know. She thought of Zors as a father, but now he's gone and she associates you with the death of her real parents," I said slowly. "But I love you, you know that."

"Do you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. This time, I was taken aback.

"You don't believe me?" I asked.

"Jetta, I-" he said, but stopped and sighed. I walked over to him.

"If I didn't love you, do you think I would stayed with you for five years and even stayed faithful when we couldn't see each other?" I asked, looking into his green eyes.

"Well, no," he said.

"And if I didn't love you, would i be having your child or risking everything to come see you at times?"

"No," he said, grinning.

"Exactly," I said. "C'mon, Huxie, let's go."
