The universe is saying : Allow me to flow through you unrestricted, and you will see the greatest. Magic you have ever seen. Klaus Joehle

"There's nothing here!" Rey complains to BB8. The droid looked up at her and made a warble of sympathy. She had been pouring over the Jedi texts for months, trying to find something, anything, pertaining to bringing someone back from the world of spirits. She had come up empty. Desperation was setting in and she missed Ben more than ever.

There was something she had to tell him and it made her sick to her stomach with worry. She had time to get used it and was happy she had something left of him but wasn't so sure how he would handle it when he found out. It was an unexpected and surprising accident. She didn't like to think that her baby was an accident, but the conception was unintentional. A result of Ben giving her all his Midi-clorians to save her life.
She tenderly touched her stomach were the baby was and smiled. She imagined what it would look like. Is it a boy or a girl?  Would the baby have black hair like its father? Would it be happy and safe with her ? Could she be a good mother all alone if she had to? She was still young and inexperienced in so many things. That realization made her want to go back to the texts and study more. She was terrified of being alone with a child to care for. She could take care of herself just fine but had no idea how to be a mother. And what of her dreams of becoming a Jedi? Would she have to give them up? Settle down and live her life on Tatooine with another mouth to feed?  Now was not the time to be selfish when another life was imminent.
She could go find Poe and Finn but she didn't think they'd understand any of what was going on with her and she couldn't handle explaining without turning into a puddle of tears.
Then a glorious sound pierced her mind! "Any luck?" Ben questioned her. He knew she was trying her best to interpret the ancient Jedi texts and find answers to their great matter. It had been so long since he had made contact with her. But he had been busy learning all he need to be ready to live again. "Ben I'm sorry , nothing yet , but I'm never giving up. There's got to be something there!" Desperately wanting to give him good news.
"It's alright, I have faith in you babe". He had never called her that before and it felt so good to hear.  It reassured her.  His feelings hadn't changed in all the time they'd been apart.  Their Force connection was strained but the red thread that was invisible to them stretched but would never brake. 
                 This magical cord wrapped itself around their hearts and pulled and tugged all the way to the Spirit World.  They will always be a Dyad, still as strong as life itself. 
           When two souls call to each other the universe hears the whisper and conspires to bring them together.  In the world of spirits distance is not an issue and time is not a barrier. Two souls who have found each other and hold onto the hand of the divine will see heaven and earth move to make way for their love.  Daniel Nielsen
