Epilogue

Rey blinked and groaned, opening her eyes as the light faded. "I'm getting tired of doing this," she muttered.

"I am, as well," Ben agreed from next to her.

She looked around, realizing they were in a garden as opposed to the snowy landscape they had left. "Well, something's different."

"I think our changes impacted our lives in the future."

"I have an extra set of memories now. You?"

"Yes."

She laughed. "I'm your Padawan. Wasn't the last thing you said in our original timeline that you wanted to teach me the ways of the Force?"

His chuckles joined hers. "It was, wasn't it?"

She hugged him. "Well, I'm glad you're training me. Now that everything's different, I mean."

He gently kissed her forehead. "Me too, Rey. Me too."

A loud commotion approached them. They separated in time to see two men rushing toward them, one familiar to Rey and one familiar to Ben. "Finn!" she called happily.

"Poe!" Ben added, though with a touch of guilt on his face. Rey guessed that they had met under unpleasant circumstances in the original timeline.

"What are you two doing?" Poe asked as Finn gave Rey a light kiss. "Luke and Myra's anniversary party starts in five minutes, and the guests of honor's daughter and nephew are missing!"

"Right...sorry. We're coming," Rey said, wrapping one arm around her cousin and the other around her boyfriend. The four made their way into the courtyard where their family and friends were waiting. Rey couldn't keep her smile (and a few tears) from showing as she saw her parents for the first time (sort of) since she was five years old. Han (Uncle Han, her other memories corrected) was there, and Rey could swear that she saw a glimmer in Ben's eyes, but she didn't say anything. No words were really needed. She just squeezed his side tightly, letting him know she was there for him.

Beside Uncle Han was Aunt Leia, and behind them her grandmother-Padmé-stood. Next to her father was Obi-Wan (her maternal grandfather, apparently), the man who had, though no one save three people truly knew, miraculously been able to keep up with three generations of Skywalkers as his Padawans. His wife, Duchess Satine, was embracing their daughter, Rey's mother.

And watching all of it, but especially Rey and Ben, with an approving smile, was her grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. He was the only person who knew her and Ben's secret, and, instinctively, she knew that he had kept it all these years. She looked up at him, their eyes met, and he grinned, giving her a knowing wink.

A/N: So that's the end…for now. I plan to do some one-shots to fill in the gaps between the last chapter and this. And, yes, Luke's wife is Obi-Wan's daughter, and, yes, her name is very similar to Mara (as in Mara Jade). I was lazy, and Myra sounded good.

Also, in case you wanted to know (you probably didn't, but anyway), here's a timeline for when everything happened in this AU. I'll use the Battle of Yavin calendar, even though the Battle of Yavin didn't happen, just so everyone is on the same page and you know when I'm talking about.

19 BBY: Palpatine killed; Luke and Leia born.

18 BBY: The restriction on marriage in the Order lifted.

17 BBY: Myra Kenobi born.

14 BBY: Snoke killed by Obi-Wan and Ani.

2 BBY: Twins meet Han.

2 ABY: Leia and Han marry.

5 ABY: Ben born.

9 ABY: Luke and Myra marry.

15 ABY: Rey born.

Of course, various adventures happened in the middle. I'll probably cover some of those in one-shots.
