"Okay before I die, you gotta tell me what's wrong." Poe said, grabbing and stopping Padme before she went up to the control booth where she would advise the fleet through the comms.

"Before you what-"

"Hey I could die any day, Princess." Poe said. "What happened?"

Padme took in a deep breath and shook her head.

"I can't tell you, Poe." She said, looking up into his eyes and noting the concern on his face. "Not now, you'll hate me. And you gotta go."

"Let's get one thing straight, Princess, you may irritate the hell out of me but I could never hate you." Poe stated, holding her hands tight in his as his eyes bored into hers. "But you're right, I need to go but I only will if you promise you'll tell me when I get back."

Padme rolled her eyes at him but when he did not move she sighed.

"Fine, fine." She said quickly, gesturing at the door. "Now go! And don't die!"

"Not before you tell me what you're gonna tell me when I get back." He said, grinning at her one last time before racing to his X-Wing and calling over his shoulder. "I better hear your voice throughout the whole battle, can't have you dying on me."

Padme rolled her eyes but before she could get to the control booth, someone else stopped her.

Her father.

"Padme..." Han began but when she went to weave around him, he held her in place. "You're just as stubborn as your mother, look, I gotta talk to you."

"You have sixty seconds."

Han sighed but began to speak.

"I know you might hate me and your mother right now and that's okay, we are pretty big assholes." Her father said and Padme had to bite back a laugh at that. "But you are our daughter just like Ben is our son, not Kylo, Ben. Ben didn't torture you, Kylo did. That doesn't mean forgive him but it does mean that wherever your brother is behind all the masks and the love for black, your brother loves you just as much as me and your mom. I can't go to that second rate Death Star without you knowing that, kid, I love you. And I'm sorry I haven't said it enough."

Padme was silent for a moment before wrapping her arms around her father to hide the tears that threatened to spill out.

"I love you too, dad."

After holding his daughter close to him for a few moments, he could hear Chewbacca calling him from the Falcon and he reluctantly released her.

"Also, one last word of fatherly advice, that pilot guy has the hots for you big time." He said, grinning at the way his daughter's ears turned lightly pink out of embarrassment. Something her uncle always used to do.

"Don't die, dad. And never say the words 'has the hots for' ever again." She said, sending him one last look before rushing to the control booth.

"Poe, their shield are down! Han and Finn did it!" Poe heard Padme exclaim through the comms and he couldn't help but cheer. "You have full authorisation for an attack."

"Roger Princess, Red squad, Blue squad, take my lead." Poe responded, informing his squadrons of the battle plan as they dropped out of light speed and made their way to the planet, passing by snow capped mountains. "Almost at range!"
