Authors Note 1:

I just wanted to say ahead of time, the app I use to look over my work and fix any spelling errors I have isn't working. So I'm sorry if there's any mistakes.

Without further ado, please enjoy!

Two months.

Two months have passed since Rey and I got married. Two months passed since we were under attack and had to relocate. Two months passed since Luke and Rose were shot and almost died.

Two months.

In all honestly, we're adjusting well to our lives here on Naboo. A few resistance members decided to take on jobs here so they could help pay for the hotel— which is very, very helpful.

Lucca Meeko and Alex Deke (Milo and Riley's parents) offered to let some people stay at their house, as did Cora and her husband.

Which is good, because this hotel doesn't have enough room for everyone.

I notice that especially now, as I sit in the hotel diner with Rey and literally everyone in the base.

Sheesh, it's crammed in here.

"Uncle Finn?" Stella's soft voice breaks me out of my thoughts. I look at the young three year old with a small smile. She tilts her head slightly and grins. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing Stelly-Belly," I reply. "What are you doing?"

"Eating." Stella answers simply.

"Ooh, really?" I ask, she nods. "Okay, well I'll let you get back to your breakfast."

She nods. "Thank you."

Rey sits down at the table with her plate, sighing. "Finally, the line cleared up. I've been waiting for half an hour."

"Well, you probably should've woke up earlier to get your breakfast." I state. "Y'know.. instead of waking up at eleven."

"I'm sorry," Rey says, with no real annoyance in her voice. "I was up all night reading."

"What are you reading now?" Rose asks. "And most importantly, when you're done, can I borrow the book? I've read all mine."

"Sure." Rey says, laughing slightly. "And I'm reading 'If I stay'. It's really good!"

Rose frowns. "Dang it, I've already read that one."

"Rosie, what book haven't you read?" Poe chuckles.

"Good question."

I shake my head with a laugh. "You, Lyra, and Rey should start a book club."

"Good idea!" Caden pipes. "Could I join? I've never been in a club before. I didn't have friends — kids didn't like me."

"That's sad." Ben states. "But in all honesty, you can be a real-"

"—Smart apple-"

"—Sometimes."

"Smart apple?" Stella frowns.

"Please stop swearing in front of my daughter." Lyra says.

"We don't swear."

"Yeah, we just almost swear."

"You never let us."

"You guys never used to swear before Stella," Poe states. "Why now?"
