"That color is too dull, maybe a more vibrant one will do," Leia suggested to a middle-aged decorator in charge of the garden party tablecloths. This was the fifth time Leia rejected another tablecloth making it hard for the decorator. Many were made of expensive silk and others of lace embroidery organza. It was a sunny spring morning that day on the Solo's estate. The party was about to take place the next day in the afternoon.

The woman then brought another tablecloth, this one was blue cobalt with some purple hues to it. It gave the whole place some life and match the large garden outside the mansion. Leia gave it a quizzical look before choosing. "Surely it's a lovely color. The material seems nice and water resistant too." Leia touched it and stepped away to get a better picture of it.

"I mean we could still add yellow poppies as a centerpiece," the woman added, "with small candle holders of the same color. The tableware we would like to show you is white and blue too."

Leia crinkled her nose at that. "That's not necessary. This one, I pick this one." She simply said very sure it was the right decision.

"Very well, Ms. Organa! You and Mr. Solo will be thrilled after we finish everything!"

She smiled, "My son too. He might come from Chandrila tomorrow morning... well I hope." If only Han and Kylo could start to get along. Their son still carried a thorn through his heart after both parents didn't spend too much time with him. Leia knew deep inside Kylo still loved them but it was a cold distant relationship now. All she wished for was for her son to start his own family and forgive them someday. There were many political issues back then and Leia was a member of the populist party. The centrists were a pain in the ass and gave her party some hell for years. Birren's governor died and his former political assessors wanted her to take on his place. She rejected this offer and thought Kylo wouldn't want it either. He was more of a business type man than a politician. Also, Han was not too fond of politics believing they were all corrupted. Birren had Lady Sindian as their governor and who used to be Leia's rival for a while.

"Is he coming or what?" Her husband's voice suddenly shook her. Han showed up there letting their hairy dog, Chewie, ran free across the yard. He then walked towards his wife with his hands stuffed inside each pocket.

"I'm unsure." She answered looking at what the decorator was placing on the table, "last time we talked he sounded cold and indifferent."

He smiled, running a hand up and down her back. "Maybe I'm the problem, Leia. Our son has been gone for a while now and resents me more than you."

Sadness clouded her features. "But why?

"Because we don't think alike. I was more of an adventurer while the kid more... reserved. Leia, you understood him better."

An irritated Leia sighed wanting things to be normal. "If we only knew about his abandonment issues before all would've been so different."

He pulled his wife into an embrace, letting her rest her head on his chest. "Something tells me he'll be here. Don't worry."

Both parents missed their only son a lot.

Kylo woke up that morning hopefully seeing Rey lying next to him. This time she didn't leave him making his mouth curved into a smile. The thick brown blanket covered half of her nude body with only her creamy legs exposed. It was a beautiful sight seeing her sleeping soundly like an angel with only a blanket covering her. Kylo possessed the woman and not the stripper thus he didn't look at her like that anymore. Rey was a woman longing for love and attention. That's why she desired to be his. The majority of women wanted privileges and perks without even sacrificing. Rey's stripping job wasn't the best but the girl had goals and was truly smart. To him, she was a smart woman.
