chapter two

   rey had fallen asleep on my arm as we sat under the huge oak tree. i looked down at her face, her long brown eyelashes, and perfect, glowing skin.
i had been waiting to be with her as soon as i saw her the first time.
i reached for her hair, and undid the tight buns she had put in place. she stirred a little, but stayed asleep.
i brushed through her hair with my fingers, gently untangling it. a warm breeze fluttered through and caused some of the pieces of hair to dance around.
i felt her stir again, and she woke up this time. she noticed her hair was down, and then looked up at me and smiled.
"oh sorry, did i wake you?" i asked, as she sat up.
"no, i think that breeze did though," she ran her hands through her hair.
"you should let your hair down more. it suits you," i tell her, as she smiles at me again. i tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear and then lean in to kiss her again.
"dang, you just can't resist me can you?" she giggled, and then softly nudged me.
"i guess i can't," i replied and then pulled her over to me.
this time, i achieved my goal, and she kissed me back. my hands rested on her face, pulling both of us together.
then, i felt a presence near us. i looked up to see my mom. of course, in her spirit form.
"ben!" she came over and sat down by us. i noticed rey blushing as my mom sat down.
"i missed you so much," she said as she smiled at me.
"oh, and should i be expecting grand babies soon?" she asked. rey blushed harder and laughed.
"maybe," i replied, and winked at rey.
she pushed me over and we all laughed while i regained my balance.
"welcome home, son," my dad was there too, and i suddenly felt complete. like i had a real family. it was almost too good to be true.
we talked for a while, and then they had to leave. we said goodbye, then headed back inside the base.
there was a great feast waiting for us inside, and we al got plates and were ready to eat. i'm sure rey was, because fighting off an evil sith lord does take a lot out of you.
we sat down at a table next to each other, and a little girl with bright blonde hair came up to rey.
"can i braid your hair?" she asked, grinning up at her.
"of course!" the little girl sat down and began working on putting reys hair back up, which i wasn't the happiest about.
the girl weaved and worked on reys hair for a while, and she was finally done. i looked at her, taking in the beautiful sight. the girl had put reys hair into a low braid, and had weaved green and gold flowers in as well, which matched reys eyes.
i couldn't even say anything, she looked so pretty.
"you know, i might have to take you up on that grand baby offer," she laughed, as she hugged the little girl.
