Ellia III

A/N: Part three! I honestly think there'll be two more!

Soft sniffling filled the echoes of the small tunnel BB-9E rolled by. With a small tilt of its flat, black head, the BB unit rolled backwards. Eyeing the shaft in which the BB units came from after their routine maintenance, BB-9E slowly rolled inside to spot a living being. The droid recognized the little human, knowing very well who it was.

"Bzzzrwip?"

Sniffling once again as she held her pilot doll, and a rag doll that much resembled her father—in which a nice village woman had made her a few missions back—Ellia lifted her small head and eyed the droid. "I... okay..." She forced a smile, wiping her tears. "Daddy being a bum bum... but he no mean it..."

"Bwooooboop!"

Giggling, Ellia nodded. "Daddy very loud! Loud man! But he king so he need loud... Not to me, I not like when he loud to me..."

"Bwaaaapzerrp?"

"He say sorry! He say sorry but I mad and run... I hide for now. Not want to see mama like this... I not want her think I bad girl..." Ellia pouted as she gently played with the two dolls in her hold, bumping their heads together. "I want mama to be happy..."

"Boooooo..."

"She not really mama... I know dat... But she like mama... I call her mama..." Taking in a deep breath, she eyed the pilot doll, "I wish she my mama..."

Standing just outside of the duct, beside Kylo (as he had told you Ellia had the habit of hiding amongst the droids when she was in trouble or playing hide-and-go-seek), you heard her words.

I wish she my mama...

Your heart sank as a small frown grew on your lips. Eyeing the vent, knowing she was hidden deeper within it as she was small enough to fit, your grip tightened around Kylo's hand, nearly forgetting you had been holding onto it.

Kylo had heard her, of course he had, and somewhere deep within his soul, he had wished you were her mother, too.

"You should go in." Kylo lowly spoke, just enough for his voice to be heard by you only. "She'd rather see you than me."

Gulping, you looked up at him as he slowly nodded. "But, wouldn't it be better for you—"

"Please," he begged.

Nodding, you slid your hand from his grip and crouched, crawling in as much as you could. "Ellia?" It was dark and you could hardly see what you were looking at.

"Bzzzzzzirp!"

Seeing the droid quickly turn around, you crawled backwards as it beeped frantically at you.

"No, no! That mama!" Ellia exclaimed, but you couldn't see her.

"Ellia? Where are you?" You asked.

"I 'hind BB..." seeing her little hand reach out with her pilot doll, you sighed in relief. "I sorry, mama... I not mean to—"

"Princess, I'm not mad. And neither is your daddy. No one is mad at you... we're just worried. You ran off and scared us..." You explained as you heard a faint sniffle. "We just want you safe and with us."

"Us..." She gently spoke. "I want daddy happy..."

"You make him very happy." You softly smiled.

"I know dat... I say that 'cause I want someone who not me to make daddy happy in other way..." She mumbled as you eyed her in the poorly lit area.
