Lana laughed despite herself, leave it to Rey to make her laugh on a day such as this.

“I’m sure there will be cake,” Lana said, on Empire Day they always ate like the royalty her father in-law claimed them to be. Though in her heart Lana recognized no monarch but the elected monarch of Naboo.

“And if you’re good, I’ll make sure you get an extra slice with lots of frosting with dinner.”

Rey smiled brightly when her mother told her that there would be cake. She loved cake. What she didn’t love was being forced to wear dresses and make her hair look pretty. “Will all the Moffs be there? I hate when Tarkin smiles at me.” She grumbled. The Imperial leadership all looked at the Princess like she was something that they’d like to eat, rather than their heiress. She turned in the chair, disrupting her mother’s braiding of her hair. “Why can’t we just say that we’re sick?” She asked.

[palpatinewed-moved]

"I'm afraid not, my darling." Lana sighed, she knew how Rey hated all this pomp and circumstance.

"And yes, the moffs will be there, everyone who's anyone will be there." If the moffs saw Rey as a piece of meat, they were no kinder to the girl's mother, Lana heard their whispers.

Who was she, but a common carpenter's daughter? How dare she sully the imperial bloodline.

Still, Lana loved her husband and her daughter, and for her that was enough.

❛ You should be resting. ❜

She was right, it was late, a lot later than she thought it was, yet her she was quietly tinkering with the droid unit that she found, trying to get him up and running again. Looking up at her for a moment she gave her a soft smile. “ Yeah, you’re right.”  Getting up from where she was on the ground, the scavenger stretched, suddenly realizing how tired she actually was. 

“ How come you're up? I didn’t wake you, did I?”

[palpatinewed-moved]

“I couldn’t sleep anyway,” Lana said she didn’t want to worry her daughter with her own troubles. But, she had trouble sleeping ever since she’d been freed and reunited with Rey.

Lana was so afraid that if she went to sleep, she’d wake up from a beautiful dream.

“What are you tinkering with?”

She hated Empire Day, it was an excuse for her father in-law to parade her and her family out before the public. And the older Rey got the worse it got, what first started out as dressing Rey in the approved dresses now entailed having her daughter spend time with the monster her husband called father.

“Are you ready for the celebrations?” Lana asked as she helped Rey get ready for the day. 

Rey grumbled as she let her mother do her hair. She hated public events, and being on show. “I suppose.” She grumbled as she did up the buttons on the sleeves of her gown. She’d grown up knowing that something was…off about their family and always followed her mother’s lead on when to smile and nod. “Will there at least be cake?” She asked.

forehead touch

@jakkuforce

“You are my ray of sunshine,” Lana murmured, pressing her forehead to her daughter’s as she tucked her in.

“I love you, my darling.”

“Rey, darling, don’t go too far!” Lana called out after her little girl as she ran ahead, this planet was a decent place to live, not as nice as Naboo of course but it was nice enough, and isolated which was preferable given their situation.

“Stay where I can see you!”

Rey ran across the rocky beach ahead of her mother, desperate to get around the next corner, to find the next exciting thing. “Look, Mama! There’s a cave!” She called back, having completely ignored her mother’s warning.

[palpatinewed-moved]

Lengthening her stride, Lana rushed to catch up with her child. She couldn’t let her daughter wander as she pleased, Maker knew who might be lurking nearby and if they worked for her father in-law then they were in trouble.

“Rey, I said to stay were I could see you.” Lana said reaching for Rey’s hand, the mouth of the cave loomed over them imposing and large. Did she dare let Rey go inside?

“Stay by me.” Lana said deciding that the cave could be a good place to hide if they needed to later.”

forehead touch

@classifiedxrey

“I am so proud of you, my darling.” Rey was clever and resourceful, everything Lana had wanted her to be. 

Touching their foreheads together, Lana smiled at her daughter.

“Your father would be so proud of the woman you’ve become.”

[palpatinewed-moved]

‘forehead touch’

@reyjustrey

“Be brave, my darling,” Lana murmured, pressing her forehead against Rey’s. Just like she had when she was a little girl, it felt like a lifetime ago since then. But no matter what, Rey was still her little girl, deep down.

[palpatinewed-moved]

forehead touch !

@sheresists

Pressing her forehead to Rey’s, Lana sighed blissfully. It had been a long time since she’d been able to do this, but they were together again. 

“I love you, Sweetheart.”

“Has she said as much to you?” Lana asked, Rey trusted Ben that much was clear, Lana was yet to talk to her daughter about what had happened so long ago on Jakku. It never seemed to be the right time, and Rey seemed distant as of late.

Ben tilted his head to the side a little, “She’s told me a lot of things,” he nodded. “And I know her,” he said quietly. “You’re here now…and the longer you stay away from her, the more doubt she’s going to sow in herself about you…Leaving her to keep her safe is one thing she can forgive, but not being with her now…” He looked at Lana and gave her a small smile, “I know you’re afraid..” He could feel it just as he could see it on her face, “but there’s no reason to be..”

[palpatinewed-moved]

Lana nodded as she took in Ben’s words, he knew Rey better than she did.

“What if she doesn’t want to know me?” Lana asked, sounding like a frightened lost child.

“There is so much I want to share with her, but what if she doesn’t want to know any of it?” She wanted to tell Rey about their family, and their home on Naboo, there was sadness in their story yes, but also so much happiness.
