NOTES:  i have to again thank you for your patience for my lack of posting. I had a chaotic couple of months in a good way including moving apartments finding a new job, and getting to know new friends, but with the Rise of Skywalker pissing me off to hell, my muse is up and loaded and I hope to write more within the next year!
WARNINGS: None

EXCERPT: 

“I hate to interrupt this little group,” their new guest said said, “Mon Mothma has called a meeting.”

Suddenly, the cold hallway of the fridgate became usually warm, even though the color was draining from Leia’s cheeks. She was anticipating this moment as much as she was dreading it now that she knew the truth. It was Luke, her long lost brother. It was still a weird concept to her, but something she wanted to scream out to the heavens because the fact he was her twin brother felt so right. However, she knew considering he needed to be focused on the war had to keep the secret guarded.

It was going to be hard, Leia wasn’t sure how much more patient to hide such a revelation. But if she wanted to make sure her brother had a clear head to help lead the rebels to victory, she had to hold her nerve.

Leia looked deep within herself finding sort of hint that the relationship and dynamic between her and Luke had changed dramatically on her face. She shifted any sort of shocked or sheepish expression that would have alerted to Luke that something was wrong. He always had that gift, which now Leia frighteningly came to realize was due to the fact that just like her, he was force sensitive.

Hold it together, Leia thought as her lips that formed a smile that masked the fact that everything was going to change now.
