Dyad: The force of a new beginning.

Wishful thinking

"Kala, please go to other room for a second" Rey told the kid as she slowly approached Leda.

"But..."

"It's okay. Don't worry, we just have to talk with Leda for a moment and you can go to sleep after that." Rey kindly said to the kid.

She went outside and Ben closed the door.

He and Rey sat on the bed with Leda.

"It's okay. Don't be scared" Rey said as she gently rubbed Leda's back.

"How long have you been able to do things like this?" Ben gently asked.

"I'm sorry, I never wanted to do it." Leda said.

"It's okay, we... we can do it too Leda." Ben said.

"You can?" The girl looked at Ben with her face shining from the tears.

He laughed a little.

"Yes, you... it means you have a connection to the force." Ben said.

"What is that?"

"The force. It lives everywhere, in all of us, in everything." Rey said.

"Is it bad? I did something bad. I didn't want to hit Kala." Her eyes watered again.

Ben and Rey exchanged a glance.

"It isn't bad, we'll help you control it. But don't be scared, you're not gonna hurt anyone right? Because you don't want to". Ben was the one to answer.

"Right"

"Get some sleep, I promise everything's okay" Rey said rubbing her arm.

To their surprise Leda stood on the bed and somehow managed to hug them both.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome" they answered with their heads squished.

"I'll tell Kala to come back and nothing bad is going to happen okay? We'll see you tomorrow."

Once again they tucked the girls in bed and this time when they left they didn't hear any problems.

"I'm guessing that's what she wanted to tell you the other day" Ben said when they were closer to their room and far from the kids area.

"Yeah..." she sighed.

"Stop it" Ben put his arm around her shoulders and squeezed her a little against his side.

He knew Rey was torturing herself with questions that didn't have an answer yet.

"But you know we have to think about it, and also... I wonder how is it possible?" Rey mumured.

They waited until they were inside their room to keep talking about it. For the moment no one else had to know.

"It must be possible the same way you were possible. Force users will always exist." Ben gently said.

"I wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for you" Rey retorted.

"That's not true."

"It is"

"Then I wouldn't have existed  if it wasn't for you" Ben said.

They were both right in some level.

"What happens when people are not predestined then? How is this possible? I thought all the jedi were dead." Rey said starting to change into her pajamas.

"I think we've learned that the force will always be there and every now and then people who connect to it will come out."

As Ben took shirt out he got stuck. One of his curls got tangled up on a button and Rey snickered getting closer to free him.
