What She Has Forgotten

Chapter Fourty-three: I'm Coming

Rey's POV - -

I woke up on the couch the next morning. James wasn't there. I sat up. I smelled breakfast.  I got up and walked to the kitchen. He and my dad were in there making food.

"Morning you two. " I kissed James on the head.

"Morning momma." He said eating a piece of bacon.

"James while grandpa is finishing breakfast why don't you go and get some of your favorite toys out."

"Okay momma." He hopped down off the stool.

"What was that all about?"

"I'm going. "

"Going where?"

"To see Ben."

"Oh?"

"I think it's time that James meets his father."

"So you decided. "

"Yes. Oh. Gwen and Hux are on their way "

"Okay."

I walked downstairs to see all of his toys on his bed.

"I meant a couple " I said laughing. 

"I like them all."

"Then choose two or three please. "

He handed me three toys.

"Thank you, now put the rest back in your box please. Aunt Gwen will be here soon and we don't want a messy room do we?"

"No."

"Good. I walked out and into the storage room and grabbed his lite luggage and mine.

"Rey, we're here."

"I'm downstairs. "

Gwen and Hux came downstairs.

"What's with the bags Rey?" Hux asked.

"I'm going to see Ben."

"It's about damn time." He answered. 

"Why the sudden change?" Gwen asked.

"It's what is best for James. Gwen could you pack him several outfits please."

"Ya," she walked into his room. And I walked back upstairs with Hux following me. I went into my room.

"I think you are making the right choice Rey. Not only for James, but also for you and Ben. What can I do to help?"

"My laptop on the bed, can you book two tickets please."

                         .       .       .

"Be safe and have fun Rey." Dad said.
I hugged him.

"I will."

"Go get him Rey." I smiled and hugged her. Then hugged Hux, who was strangely not saying anything.

"Hux. What's wrong. I've known you long enough to know that silence from you is not right."

"I was just thinking about everything you both have been through. I think it's time for you to be happy."

"I think so too." I hugged him again." Ready bud?" I asked James.

"Yep!" He said with his big smile. 

After more hugs and goodbyes, we got through security and we're waiting to board.

"Flight 8115 is now able to be boarded."

I stood up and grabbed James's hand.
I'm coming Ben. Don't stop waiting. Please.
