Forgotten, But Not Lost

Chapter 80

Ben, Amar, and the twins turned towards Rey with intrigue. Rey had been the one to place the Twin sabers in their final resting place, but with the rising threat that loomed over the galaxy, everyone would need to be ready, once again.

"I think it is necessary, in order to progress their training, we need the Skywalker sabers." Rey approached them with her stoic look.

Ben looked down to his girls and his mind consumed him with his thoughts, Amar holding his hand, looked up at him as she watched in her own head all of the images going through his mind. Amar and Ben shared a moment together, going over it without sharing with everyone. Probably one of the best parenting skills they had, being able to discuss without the girls knowing exactly what they were talking about.

"Rey, there are things that we need to discuss with you and Master Ahsoka. Would you mind escorting the girls back to their Grandmother and bring Ahsoka back with you?" Amar asked Rey. Rey walked behind the two girls as their frowns grew.

"But Momma, our training! We want to still work with you and Daddy..." Iris cried out in her whiny voice.

Ben could only smile at her, he still couldn't believe he had helped create such beautiful Daughters.

"Honey, we are going to discuss the future of your training, it is important. There are things your Father and I need to figure out for you. Please listen to me and go with your Auntie Rey back to the base." Rey grabbed their shoulders in a caring way and budged them toward the base.

Ben and Amar turned toward each other, Ben grabbed her cheek and caressed her with his hands. Amar leaned her head further into his grasp and closed her eyes, she would never stop loving the way it felt for him to be her Ben again. He could sense her anxiety through their force bond and furrowed his brows.

"Amar, tell me what your thinking. I'd rather hear it from you than stealing your thoughts." Ben placed both hands on her cheeks.

Of course, Ben had his own reservations to what they had been discussing within their minds, but he wanted to communicate with his wife and talk it through.

Amar sat down on a log as whatever she was thinking about consumed her.

Ben gazed down at her waiting to listen. Amar met his eyes with her own that were filled with worry.

"They need continuous training, they need guidance from more than us. Master Ahsoka knows the ways of the Grey. I do not want our girls being Jedi's nor the Sith. They shouldn't endure what we had to go through, I want them to feel compassion and understand that it is okay to be upset. My main concern, is that with the rising threat, it will pull us away from them. I don't want them to feel abandoned like we did as we grew up." Amar brought her hands to her temples and tried to soothe a growing headache.

Ben knelt down to fully take in his concerned wife, he understood all that she felt, he too could feel the troubles in his mind.

"My love, you know this is what is needed to progress their future, we will not be abandoning them. As soon as we can, we will join them and help with their training. Once the threat is clear, I no longer want any part of the rebuild of the Republic. Our place is with the new construction of a new Order of the Grey. We can no longer have just light side Jedi, we need the balance. Our girls, will understand because we will tell them the truth and be honest with them, something we did not get growing up."

Ben had hardly finished his sentence before Amar rose from the log in a flash. Amar hopped into Ben's arms and placed both of her hands on the side of his face. Amar couldn't help but instantly devour his lips with her own. They embraced each other and took the moment to share their compassion and love for one another. The force around them did the usual swirling with the wind picking up. Their feet left the ground and they rose with the force, hovering only a bit off the ground. Their minds were one, Amar couldn't help but feel completely consumed by Ben and vice versa. Ben trailed down the base of her neck with his lips and Amar kept her eyes closed, to be one with the force and remain in the moment with Ben. He opened his eyes to see they were hovering off the ground, but what caught his eyes was a blue glowing butterfly. It fluttered and twirled in the force around them. He watched as it landed on Amar and he could only feel pure bliss. Ben had no knowledge of what it meant, but he felt nothing but happiness. Amar consumed his lips again, they definitely needed more alone time, but the threat was rising and they were going to have to play their part soon.
